Tens of thousands of spectators densely surrounded the arena, cheering and boiling with excitement.
Each pair of eyes burned with fervor, revealing a color of fanatical obsession.
All eyes were drawn to the beauty teams walking on either side.
On Tianshui Academy's side, the women's team was nothing short of luxurious.
Each of the seven girls was an exceptionally beautiful young lady with an outstanding demeanor, all uniformly clad in tight blue mini skirts that wrapped around their perfect figures.
They resembled buds ready to bloom.
The girls boasted slender and graceful figures, one fair and tender thigh exposed below the hem of their skirts, while the other leg was enveloped in ice-blue stockings, bringing a different kind of visual impact.
It provoked the men in the crowd to excitedly holler and hoot.
"How come I feel drunk as a dog without having a drink?"
Little Fatty was already so excited that his face flushed red, and he started to ramble incoherently.
"Buddy, I've lived for several decades, and I've never seen this many beauties."
While the surroundings wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, Luo Yu, who was sitting quietly among the crowd, seemed somewhat out of place.
He discreetly operated his Creation God Pupil, peering through the crowd at the women's team.
A light of admiration flashed in his eyes as he nodded slightly.
The Tianshui Battle Team certainly lived up to its reputation, each one of them a beauty.
Not only were they generously proportioned and beautiful in appearance, but their temperament was also far from what ordinary rouged women could compare to, brimming with the lively spirit of youth.
Especially the three young beauties in the forefront, their aura appeared particularly outstanding.
Even a seasoned veteran like Luo Yu couldn't help but feel a bit dazzled by them.
The girl at the very front, who was surrounded by the women's team.
She had shoulder-length water-blue hair, a fair face adorned with delicate features, and amber Beautiful Eyes that were still as water, exuding an ethereal beauty all around her.
Though a dainty beauty, she gave off the calm demeanor of a great general.
The girl behind her, looking around left and right, shared a resemblance to her, with blue wavy hair and Mystical Beasts shining in her Beautiful Eyes.
The girl beside her was somewhat petit, yet the developed areas were outrageously overdone; as if all the essence of her body were gathered in those places.
The well-defined and proud assets.
Luo Yu was stunned for a moment.
Was this the "Ball Queen" Xue Wu they talked about? Indeed, she lived up to her reputation.
Terrifying as such.
The lively and charming women's team was entering the scene.
The powerful presence made the crowd automatically step aside, creating a spacious passage.
Shui Yue'er, with her wavy hair, looked around and whispered excitedly from behind Shui Bing'er, "Sister, our academy is so lively today."
Shui Bing'er stayed focused on the front.
"Don't be naughty, adjust your mindset, and get ready to face Chi Fire Academy."
"The dean allowed so many people in today because he's worried that when the real competition starts, an increase in on-site spectators might distract us."
Shui Yue'er pouted, "Don't be so tense, sis. It's not a real competition yet. Relax a little."
"Our Tianshui Academy is always filled with such heavy Yin energy. It's rare to see men, let alone male creatures, and today so many young men have suddenly come. How infrequent is that?"
"Shouldn't we seize the opportunity and take a good look at them?"
Shui Bing'er was unfazed, glancing at her sideways.
"Look at what?"
"If we lose the sparring match later, see if I don't clean your clock tonight."
"Eh, you're so dull, sis, always thinking about the competition."
"If you show no interest in men, you're going to end up alone."
Shui Yue'er stuck her tongue out playfully and moved closer to 'Ball Queen' Xue Wu.
"Isn't what Yue'er saying right, Sister Xue Wu?"
With every step Xue Wu took, her chest uncontrollably swayed. She gave Shui Yue'er a glance.
"Forget it. I advise you to start taking things seriously. Your sister cares a lot about the match against Chi Fire Academy, and if we lose, I won't be able to stop her from spanking you."
Shui Yue'er pursed her lips and couldn't help but retort.
"Why are you also starting to be boring like sis? The competition is later. Can't we check out the guys first to relax a bit?"
Xue Wu teased with a smile.
"Spring has arrived."
"Is our Yue'er starting to swoon over boys?"
"No, I'm not!" Shui Yue'er vehemently denied.
Xue Wu said, "You want to swoon over boys? Wait until we get to Tiandou City to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition. There are plenty of young talents there."
"The men around here are neither handsome nor powerful; sister guarantees you won't find a single one who catches your eye."
"There's really nothing to look at. Better focus on getting ready for the upcoming sparring match."
Facing Xue Wu's warning words, Shui Yue'er puckered her red lips and said somewhat defiantly:
"Sister Xue Wu, you haven't even looked at the people around here; how can you just dismiss them like that? That's too premature."
"No need to look," Xue Wu waved her hand. "Not to look down on anyone, but just to tell you the truth, the men from Tian Shui City are really not up to par."
```
"Not a single fighter among them."
Shui Yue'er's enthusiasm instantly waned as she struggled to argue:
"There's always a slim chance, what if my destined true love is waiting for me in this crowd?"
"Pfft." Xue Wu couldn't help but laugh, "Yue'er, take a quick look around, it's mostly greasy middle-aged men or rough guys, no young men in sight."
Teased by Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er's cheeks instantly puffed up in annoyance.
"Just you wait, Sister Xue Wu, I'll find one for you to see right now."
The girl's beautiful eyes darted around incessantly.
But the result was a letdown,
Indeed, as Xue Wu had said, although there were many men around, their quality was mediocre at best.
Either they were covered with stubble, or they gave off a greasy vibe.
There were a few young faces, but they either looked like misshapen melons or were pale-faced, weak-looking milk toasts.
Destined true love?
Shui Yue'er felt she could make several of these pretty boys cry with just a punch.
Xue Wu patted Shui Yue'er's fragrant shoulder, "Alright, stop looking, my words are never wrong."
Just as Shui Yue'er was about to approach the stage, her gaze disappointed, and as she was about to retract it, she unintentionally caught sight of someone in a particular direction.
Her eyes immediately fixated.
There.
A young man with an ethereal beauty, his features carved as if by divine craftsmanship, sat in a wheelchair with an aura like a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm. His eyes shone brightly and intensely.
His calm and unaffected demeanor starkly contrasted the noise and bustle of the surrounding crowd, catching Shui Yue'er's attention.
Shui Yue'er couldn't take her eyes off him and tugged on Xue Wu's hand.
"Sister, look quick."
"Over there—"
"A man!!"
Xue Wu said unenthusiastically, "There are men all around us, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Shui Yue'er's pretty face lit up with excitement as if she had discovered a treasure.
"That man over there, he's different!!"
Xue Wu mocked with a laugh, "They all have two eyes and three legs, what's so different about him?"
"It's different, really different."
"So handsome!" Shui Yue'er, already of an age to harbor youthful infatuations and a connoisseur of good looks, instantly fell for Luo Yu's peerless face.
"You're overreacting," Xue Wu couldn't help but shake her head.
Curious, she followed the direction of Shui Yue'er's gaze.
When she saw Luo Yu, composed and poised, she also involuntarily felt her heart flutter and blurted out unconsciously, "So handsome!"
That one look and even Xue Wu had trouble averting her eyes; she had never seen a man with such a distinct aura before.
The man's profound and spirited black eyes, like black holes, seemed to possess an unusual attraction.
"Right?" Shui Yue'er said with a smile, "This is the young man I discovered."
Xue Wu initially nodded then shook her head.
"Whatever it is, let's focus on the sparring first!"
Shui Yue'er's cheeks subtly flushed as she bit her thin lip.
"You go on stage first, Sister Xue Wu, I'll join in a bit."
"What are you up to now, you rascal?" Xue Wu questioned repeatedly.
"Nothing, just spreading some warmth!"
Xue Wu called her out, "You stand right there, stop causing trouble again."
Shui Yue'er said, "Look at him, stuck in a wheelchair among the crowd. It would be so pitiful if he couldn't see our match later. I'm going to help him!"
"And Sister, didn't you say we shouldn't reveal our trump cards today? It doesn't matter if we win or lose."
Having said that, Shui Yue'er activated her Soul Power, parted the crowd, and made her way straight toward Luo Yu.
The men pushed aside by the Soul Power were suddenly confused.
Not understanding why Shui Yue'er suddenly changed direction to squeeze through the crowd.
Little Fatty became excited, his breath quickening as he said to Luo Yu:
"Dude, look, you have to look."
"Goddess Yue'er is suddenly heading our way."
"Do you think—"
"She could be coming to find me?"

Brothers, there's only one update today, I'm down on my knees begging for understanding as I need to stay up late to memorize materials.
After the exam tomorrow morning, I will start with five consecutive updates in the afternoon!
Just a note, when Shui Yue'er first saw Dai Mubai in the original story, she was smitten with his good looks.
