"I am now a 47th Level Soul Ancestor, with Ultimate Ice," Shui Bing'er walked up to Huo Wu and said proudly. Apart from the most extraordinary talents on the Continent, she, Shui Bing'er, was the strongest.
The geniuses from the Four Elements Academy, people like Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu, even if they attacked together, could only cause her some trouble at best; the difference in strength was just too great.
Now, facing a Soul Emperor, she even had a chance to fight back, such was the terrifying aspect of an Ultimate Martial Soul. Like the evil Soul Masters, it was as easy as eating and sleeping for an Ultimate Martial Soul Master to challenge someone of a higher level.
"What? Shui Bing'er actually has the legendary Ultimate Martial Soul?"
"Good heavens, how is this possible? Isn't the Ultimate Martial Soul something that only exists in legends?"
"And her Soul Power has increased this much?"
The members of Fiery Flame College were all staring at Shui Bing'er in stunned silence.
Huo Wu, the once-in-a-generation talent from Fiery Flame College, who always used to have the upper hand over Shui Bing'er, was now easily overpowered by her.
This...
was just too unbelievable!
"It must have been that existence who helped Shui Bing'er," Huo Wushuang opened her mouth, thinking of Xu Ran's figure. Tianshui College certainly wasn't capable of nurturing Shui Bing'er to this extent, only that unparalleled expert could have possibly done it.
"To be able to cultivate a talent with an Ultimate Martial Soul, truly a high person indeed." Huo Wushuang swallowed hard, her eyes full of admiration and envy.
That was an Ultimate Martial Soul after all.
The Five Element Academies all sought the ultimate in elemental qualities, which is why their academy recruitment only accepted students with matching attributes. And their Fiery Flame College was pursuing the pure fire property, hoping that one day they could reach the ultimate level.
But unexpectedly, Shui Bing'er had taken this step ahead of them.
The legendary Ultimate Martial Soul, and now, Shui Bing'er was the possessor of the Ultimate Martial Soul.
The scene fell silent for a moment, the people from Fiery Flame College were silent while Xu Ran's figure kept appearing in their minds. They all knew that Xu Ran and Shui Bing'er had a very close relationship, that they were a couple, and that it was with Xu Ran's help that her strength had increased so quickly.
"Hmph, isn't it just with Xu Ran's help?" Huo Wu pouted.
"You don't have him," Shui Bing'er giggled.
"What's there to be smug about? Watch out or I might just snatch him from you." Huo Wu calmed down slightly, then was startled by the thought that had just popped into her head. After this thought surfaced, the handsome and dashing face of Xu Ran lingered in her mind and wouldn't fade away.
"Snatch away, snatch away, as you please," Shui Bing'er's eyebrows lifted, not expecting Huo Wu to say such a thing. But she didn't mind at all, since there were already so many people around Xu Ran. If Huo Wu harbored such thoughts, she could even more easily keep her in check.
"About the team competition, shall we continue?" Shui Bing'er asked again.
"No need to fight anymore. Who would want to fight you?" Huo Wu waved her hand dismissively, knowing that with Shui Bing'er's current strength, and considering the other members of the Tian Shui Battle Team, they were doomed to be at a disadvantage in the competition. Having already faced two successive defeats that day, she was filled with a sense of defeat. However, she grew increasingly curious about Xu Ran. With his strong control over fire elements, shouldn't he be a fire property Soul Master? Why then could he also help Shui Bing'er improve so much?
If she could also receive guidance from Xu Ran, could she become stronger?
Various thoughts battered Huo Wu's mind. No one had anticipated that the competition between the two great academies would end so abruptly.
After the competition, Shui Yue'er took Shui Bing'er and left, her mind filled with numerous thoughts.
Shui Bing'er thought about stalling for time, as she had promised to give something to Brother Xu Ran after the competition ended, but she didn't have any such intention.
In the evening, as Xu Ran was preparing to return to the dormitory, he found Shui Yue'er waiting for him at the door, waving to him.
Long hair cascading down to her waist, a black skirt wrapped around her pert buttocks, legs encased in a pair of white stockings, round and straight—a breeze wafted by, making Shui Yue'er's skirt flutter, utterly enticing.
Shui Yue'er wore a pair of shiny silver high-heeled shoes, her small hand pulling down on her skirt to prevent it from being blown up by the wind as she walked. However, this half-resistant half-accepting pose was... Xu Ran remembered Hong Xiuxian's classic saying, "You're so sassy." But he liked it so much.
"Brother Xu Ran, come here quickly," Yue'er beckoned, running towards him, and flung herself into Xu Ran's embrace, his palm resting on her curvy backside, a strange expression appearing on his face.
Yue'er's cheeks were also slightly red; this was her first time trying something like this.
"Carry me to your place," Yue'er buried her cheek into Xu Ran's chest.
"What for?" Xu Ran suddenly realized something.
"Oh my, Brother Xu Ran, you're so bad, don't you know? Sister is already lying down, just too shy to come see you," whispered Shui Yue'er into Xu Ran's ear, her face blushing pink.
"Good. I'll properly reward my Yue'er," Xu Ran, holding Shui Yue'er in his arms, hastened his pace. His residence at Tianshui College was within a bamboo grove, a wooden house, off-limits by order of Shui Miao; no one dared to approach.
Xu Ran kicked open the door.
In the room, a red thin quilt covered a bed, barely concealing the delicate and exquisite body beneath it. Shui Bing'er was shy, and had used a cotton quilt to shield her entire body.
Entering the room, Shui Yue'er locked the door behind herself consciously, shed her skirt, hopped directly onto the bed, and flung back the quilt.
In an instant, brilliance dazzled the room.
As for Xu Ran, he pounced like a hungry wolf.
Two squeals rang out in unison; it was destined to be a restless night.
That night, Huo Wu also quietly made her way into Xu Ran's courtyard.
Xu Ran had a high reputation at Tianshui College, many people knew him, and naturally, Huo Wu effortlessly found Xu Ran's room.
As for the rules of Tianshui College, she was not a student there; the people of Tianshui College were afraid of expulsion and wouldn't dare to disturb Xu Ran, but she wasn't afraid.
But she wasn't there to cause trouble; she was there to apologize to Xu Ran, and by the way, to probe about whether Xu Ran had plans to take an apprentice, or maybe something else...
Her figure was not even as good as Shui Bing'er's, not to mention other aspects. She could not believe that Shui Bing'er could gain Xu Ran's favor and not her.
Thinking all these, Huo Wu quietly slipped into Xu Ran's residence.
"How can there be Bing'er, Yue'er's voices?" Just as Huo Wu walked in, she heard the voices of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, sounding weak, as if enduring some kind of torment.
And other voices?
"Could this be Bing'er's training method? Is Xu Ran training Bing'er?"
Huo Wu's heart pounded wildly, she hadn't expected her luck to be so good, to stumble upon such a scene. If she learned this secret technique, couldn't she surpass Shui Bing'er?
Huo Wu leaned against the wall, listening, frowning, she could only hear that Shui Bing'er seemed to be engaging in movements that pushed the limits of her body. At that moment of surpassing limits, there was also a hint of satisfaction.
But that voice was so seductive, even her bones felt as if they'd softened as a woman.
"Hmph, outwardly a pure jade girl, but behind the scenes, a little vixen," Huo Wu snorted softly, looking at a nearby gauze window, an audacious idea formed. Just listening definitely wasn't enough; she would learn by seeing.
