Chapter 121: Tianshui Academy Makes a Comeback!
Ye Xuanming spoke, breaking the somewhat awkward standoff.
"Since it is His Majesty's will, we will naturally comply."
"Alright, I'll take you all to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. There are dormitories and training facilities there specifically prepared for the participating teams."
The proposal was reasonable; it neither outright rejected them nor failed to keep them out of the private estate.
Shui Liuxing's smile deepened.
This young man is meticulous in his actions and is even more composed than he was a year ago.
"In that case, we have troubled you, Young Master Ye."
Shui Liuxing nodded slightly, agreeing to Ye Xuanming's arrangement.
So the group set off for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Ye Xuanming's side, along with the entire Royal Fighting Team, formed a formidable force.
On the other side of Tianshui College, the dean led seven team members, making quite a show of force.
The two teams walked side by side on the main street of Tiandou City, immediately attracting the attention of countless passersby.
Especially Ye Xuanming, who was walking in the middle, with Ning Rongrong, who was wearing a pink dress, on his left and Dugu Yan, who was tall and slender, on his right, and Ye Lingling, who was aloof and beautiful, following behind him.
Opposite them were the equally beautiful Shui Bing'er and the lively and charming Shui Yue'er, as well as beauties from Tianshui Academy such as Xue Wu and Shen Liuyu.
This scene caused many male Soul Masters to stop in their tracks, their hearts filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy! This is my first time here. I've heard it's one of the best academies on the entire continent!"
On the way, Shuiyue chattered incessantly, finding everything new and interesting.
Ye Xuanming occasionally responded, not because he didn't want to pay attention, but mainly because Shui Yue'er was just too enthusiastic.
Then he said to his teammates:
"The schedule for this year's All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is somewhat different from previous years."
Upon hearing that it was serious business, Ning Rongrong and the others put aside their hostility towards Tianshui Academy and listened attentively.
"We don't need to participate in the qualifiers and qualifying rounds."
Ye Xuanming calmly stated a fact that surprised everyone from Tianshui Academy standing nearby.
"The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall each have one team that can be directly guaranteed a spot in the finals. Our Royal Fighting Team is the Heaven Dou Empire's guaranteed team."
"The other two are the Star Luo Royal Academy team and the Spirit Hall Academy team."
Ye Xuanming explained calmly.
"Not only that, but in the first round of the finals, our three guaranteed teams will also receive a bye."
Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er's mouth dropped open.
"No need to play in the qualifiers and qualifying rounds, and we even get a bye in the first round? That's awesome!"
Shui Bing'er's expression also changed.
She knew the Royal Fighting Team was strong, but she didn't expect the Heavenly Fighting Royal Family to value them to this extent.
This is no longer just ordinary preferential treatment; it places them on the same level as the Spirit Hall.
Shui Liuxing's face showed a knowing expression. This was a long-standing tradition of the Soul Master Competition.
Soon, the group arrived at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
The academy's main gate is magnificent, displaying royal grandeur.
Upon entering the academy, Oslow, Yufeng, and the Shi brothers cleverly made an excuse to slip away.
"Captain, let's go check out the academy's training facilities!"
"Yes, yes, let's go familiarize ourselves with the venue first!"
The four of them disappeared in a flash.
The four of them weren't stupid; anyone with eyes could see that the group of women from Tianshui College were after the team leader.
Especially the dean, looking at the team leader's expression, it was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
In such a chaotic situation, it's best for underlings to stay as far away as possible.
Ye Xuanming watched their retreating figures with a sense of helplessness.
He turned to Shui Liuxing and said, "Dean Shui, I'll take you to the accommodations arranged for Tianshui Academy first."
No rush.
Shui Liuxing waved her hand, a kind smile on her face.
"Young Master Ye, since His Majesty has instructed both of our teams to progress together, why don't we first witness the strength of the Royal Fighting Team?"
The Water Crystal Star finally revealed its secrets.
"Consider it a friendly sparring session before the competition."
Upon hearing this, both Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan wore cold smiles.
Friendly exchange?
Who was it that tried to steal their own man away a year ago?
Ye Xuanming did not answer immediately. He glanced at the seven girls standing guard behind Shui Liuxing.
Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yue'er, Shen Liuyu, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, and Yu Hairou—each of them had a fighting spirit written all over their faces.
It seems that the seven of them have put in a lot of effort over the past year to defeat themselves.
Ye Xuanming's lips curled up slightly.
"Alright." Ye Xuanming nodded. "Then please, everyone, move to our Royal Fighting Team's training ground."
He turned around and led Ning Rongrong and the other two girls deeper into the academy.
Shui Liuxing led the Tianshui team, following closely behind.
The Royal Academy of Heavenly Strike provides a spacious, dedicated training ground for the Royal Strike team.
The ground is paved with hard obsidian, enough to withstand the impact of a battle at the Soul King level.
When Ye Xuanming arrived with two groups of men, the place was deserted and unusually quiet.
"The location is nice."
Shui Liuxing looked around and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she looked at Ye Xuanming.
"Young Master Ye, a year ago, you fought against our Tianshui team and single-handedly broke Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial soul fusion skill, which left a deep impression on us."
"Over the past year, the seven of us have worked tirelessly, day and night, all so that we can fight you fair and square again in the Soul Master Competition."
Shui Liuxing spoke earnestly, full of expectations for the younger generation.
"Since we have this opportunity today, why don't we have a preliminary discussion?"
"Dean Shui, you flatter me," Ye Xuanming replied calmly. "Since it's just a friendly exchange, let's stop here when we've reached our goal."
"Of course," Shui Liuxing laughed. "Bing'er, you seven go ahead. As for Young Master Ye, how do you plan to deal with him?"
Her gaze swept over Ye Xuanming, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
In her opinion, Ye Xuanming would most likely choose to fight seven against one, once again demonstrating his overwhelming strength.
"Fighting you all, four of us will be enough."
It was Ning Rongrong who spoke.
The little princess raised her chin, her face filled with arrogance.
Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er immediately became unhappy.
"Four people? You underestimate us! There are seven of us, all of us are Soul Masters!"
A year has passed, and the soul power of all members of the Tianshui team has made great progress.
Spurred on by Ye Xuanming, they cultivated day and night, and Shui Liuxing also provided them with many auxiliary cultivation resources.
The current Tianshui Academy team is significantly stronger overall than in the original story.
Team leader Shui Bing'er has reached level 45. That's three levels higher than in the original story!
The rest of the team members were all above level 40.
Even the most playful Shuiyue'er reached level 41.
With such strength, they are more than capable of ranking among the top five of all participating teams.
"Just a Soul Sect member, what's so great about that?" Ning Rongrong curled her lip.
"You!" Shuiyue puffed out her cheeks in anger.
"Alright, Yue'er," Shui Bing'er stopped her younger sister.
"Okay, Rongrong."
Ye Xuanming also stopped Ning Rongrong, saying that it wasn't good to keep provoking her.
Shui Bing'er took a step forward, her usually cool face showing a solemn expression.
"Ye Xuanming, are you sure you're only sending four people?"
"That's enough."
Ye Xuanming uttered three words calmly.
Shui Bing'er said no more and nodded to the team members behind her.
"Tianshui Team, prepare!"
