"Hey there, handsome!"
Hearing the voice, Shui Yue'er awkwardly turned around. Seeing Chen Yi looking at her with a faint smile, she instantly resembled a child caught stealing candy, her ear tips flushing crimson as she quickly lowered her head and mumbled.
"Uh, I… I… I…"
Seeing her Elder sister's timidity, Shui Bing'er shook her head helplessly, stepping forward. Her clear, cold voice carried just the right amount of politeness.
"This gentleman, we are students from Skywater Academy. My name is Shui Bing'er."
She then pointed to Shui Yue'er, who was looking on with anticipation, and said gently, "This is my Elder sister, Shui Yue'er. She's just a bit lively in personality and didn't mean to provoke you."
Shui Bing'er still felt the need to explain for her sister. The other party was openly strolling through the academy, dressed splendidly, and possessed an extraordinary aura. His identity was surely not to be underestimated, so it was best not to easily offend him.
Chen Yi smiled indifferently, "This Young Miss has a straightforward and outspoken personality, which is much better than many who are sweet-mouthed but malicious."
Hearing Chen Yi's praise, Shui Bing'er responded with a smile. Shui Yue'er, beside her, nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly with the statement. 'Yes, yes, yes, I'm just straightforward, not 'lacking in common sense' as Mother says.'
After they exchanged a few more words, Shui Bing'er, seeing how easy-going Chen Yi was, inquired with polite curiosity, "Young Master, you look unfamiliar. You shouldn't be from Skywater City, should you?"
"Sort of," Chen Yi's gaze fell on the distant lake. He said in a relaxed tone, "My mother's name is Mu Xi. She is Senior Ling Han Qingyun's closed-door Disciple, and also the Junior Sister of the current Head of Skywater Academy, Head Shui."
"I came back to Skywater Academy with my mother to visit my Grandmaster. She's currently chatting with Grandmaster Shui Senior Martial Aunt, and I felt I couldn't interject, so I came out for a walk. Who knew I'd end up here?"
Hearing that Chen Yi was actually Junior Martial Aunt Mu Xi's son, Shui Yue'er's shyness immediately dissipated by more than half. She spoke to Chen Yi in a very familiar tone, "So you're Junior Martial Aunt Mu Xi's family! Auntie has always told us the legendary story of her and Junior Martial AuntMu joining forces to sweep across the Northern Region, overpowering the Five Great Element Academies and bravely winning first place in the Heaven Dou District. It made our blood boil!"
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yi with sparkling eyes. 'So he's one of us! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so shy.'
Chen Yi showed a hint of surprise, looking at the two sisters in astonishment: "Oh, so you two Young Misses are Senior Martial Aunt's daughters. It seems we truly are fated."
"Mhm mhm!" Shui Yue'er's eyes curved into crescent moons as she listened, even the cowlick on her head gently swaying.
Shui Bing'er looked helplessly at her boisterous Elder sister. 'Even if he's Junior Martial Aunt Mu's family, you can't be so unreserved.'
"May I ask Senior Brother your name? Is your Spirit also Junior Martial Aunt Mu's Ice Thorns?"
Shui Bing'er had only recently undergone her Spirit Awakening, and Chen Yi was definitely a bit older than her.
Since Junior Martial Aunt Mu brought her son to Skywater Academy, she wondered if it was because of his Spirit. However, in the past, excellent graduates had brought their amazingly talented sons here to study, but without exception, they were turned away. If Chen Yi was truly here to seek an education, in her opinion, he would likely return disappointed this time.
Chen Yi didn't say much. Lightning flickered at his fingertips, demonstrating his lightning element ability to the two sisters.
"Wow! Chen Yi, you actually have a lightning-attribute Spirit! Are you planning to go to Lightning Academy in the future?"
Lightning Academy, as one of the Five Great Element Academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, has always had its deans served by Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and is always authoritative in terms of lightning.
In Shui Yue'er's opinion, since Chen Yi's Spirit was related to lightning, he could join Lightning Academy.
While the Five Element Academies might have complicated relationships in secret, their public relationship was very good. If Chen Yi joined Lightning Academy, then it would be natural for her to visit him in the future.
Moreover, Lightning Academy was full of rough men, so if she worked hard, she might even get closer to him. Shui Yue'er secretly praised her own cleverness in her heart.
Chen Yi smiled and didn't answer. As the Young Lord of the Body Sect and a successor of the Thunder God, the mere Lightning Academy was not qualified to teach him.
Furthermore, his primary cultivation was the Qi and blood power of the Body Sect, and he could begin to accept the Legacy for lightning aspects later.
Shui Bing'er at this moment paid no attention to her sister's little thoughts. She merely watched the lightning at Chen Yi's fingertips with vigilant eyes. The lightning was not dazzling or blinding, but the moment it appeared, her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul began to tremble slightly, as if sensing some terrifying existence.
Her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was a top-tier Beast Spirit, both in terms of attack power and elemental power, standing at the pinnacle of the Spirit chain. How could it be so frightened by a mere flicker of lightning?
Although she didn't know what Chen Yi's Spirit truly was, Shui Bing'er was certain that he was an absolute top-tier Genius, very likely possessing Innate Full Spirit Power like herself.
"Hey, Chen Yi, were you just planning to go play on Skywater Platform? Let's go, I'll take you in. I'm super familiar with the place, you can ask me anything you don't know!" Seeing Chen Yi implicitly agree with her suggestion, Shui Yue'er smiled even more brightly, reaching out to grab Chen Yi's sleeve and saying.
Chen Yi allowed Shui Bing'er to pull him into Skywater Platform. Since someone was willing to be a guide, that was even better. Besides, with the Shui sisters around, he could save himself a lot of trouble.
"By the way, I haven't yet asked about Sister Yue'er and Junior Sister Bing'er's Spirits?" On the way, Chen Yi asked with a curious expression.
Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er, who was walking ahead holding Chen Yi's left hand, turned her head with a proud expression: "My Spirit is a Dolphin, inherited from my mother. I'll tell you, I'm currently a level sixteen Spirit Master, and in two years at most, I can obtain my second spirit ring and become a powerful Spirit Grandmaster!"
From their previous conversation, it was known that Shui Yue was currently only eight and a half, nearly nine years old. Having a cultivation of level sixteen at this age was indeed extraordinary. The age limit for the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament was twenty-five. If Shui Yue participated in her final Spirit Master Tournament, she would have at least level forty-one cultivation, making her a leader among her peers.
"As for Bing'er, she just recently obtained her first spirit ring and became a Spirit Master," Shui Yue'er added.
"Is that so? Junior Sister Bing'er is truly amazing, already a Spirit Master at only six years old! Your future achievements are bound to be astonishing!" Chen Yi said with emotion. With Shui Bing'er's Innate Full Spirit Power talent, breaking through to Spirit Master was simply effortless.
Shui Bing'er looked speechless, but still maintained an appropriate smile on her face.
"It's just a bit better luck than others, nothing surprising. I inherited my mother's Condensing Water Luan Spirit, with Innate spirit power of level eight. There's nothing to be proud of with this achievement. It's you, Senior Brother Chen, who is truly surprising!"
By the end, Shui Bing'er's tone was already elusive, and her expression was quite intriguing.
"Haha, I didn't expect Junior Sister's talent to be so good. I've heard from the Elders that Innate level eight spirit power is a talent with the potential to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo! It's truly enviable, unlike me. My Innate spirit power is only level seven and a half. I'd be content if I could Breakthrough to Spirit Douluo in this lifetime."
'Little girl, you're trying to act here, aren't you? Don't you know that with internet education, everyone's an actor? If I hadn't read the original, you really would have fooled me.'
Shui Bing'er's eye twitched immediately. Such a powerful Spirit with only level seven Innate spirit power? Are you trying to fool a child? I always thought my public declaration of Innate level eight was low-key enough, but I never expected your family to be even more 'six' than my Grandmaster and mother, more 'old six'?
"Oh, you two shouldn't talk about these things anymore. Look quickly, it seems there are Senior Sisters sparring ahead!" Shui Yue impatiently interrupted their unspoken bragging.
One person with Innate Full Spirit Power claimed to have Innate level eight, and another had Innate spirit power of level seven and a half. Only she had Innate level six, how awkward.
Following the direction Shui Yue pointed, Chen Yi and Shui Bing also cast their gazes towards the two girls who were sparring in the distance.
Seeing the appearance of the two girls, Shui Yue'er happily said, "We arrived just in time! It's Senior Sister Ding and Senior Sister Meng sparring. We can finally feast our eyes this time."
From Shui Yue'er's reaction, these two girls seemed to be no nobodies; they were likely prominent figures in Skywater Academy.
Sure enough, Shui Yue'er soon excitedly introduced to Chen Yi: "Senior Sister Meng and Senior Sister Ding are key members of this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Their strength is extraordinary, and they are renowned Geniuses throughout the entire Spirit Master's world. We can definitely learn a lot from their spar this time."
