Chapter 7: To enter Tianshui, one must first fight Shui Bing'er.
The woman's gaze immediately turned to Gu Yuena, and upon closer inspection, a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
The silver-haired woman before her had an unparalleled beauty and a cool, aloof demeanor. More importantly, with her Soul Emperor-level perception, she could clearly sense the calm and solid soul power fluctuations emanating from the other party, which far surpassed those of ordinary Soul Masters. This was clearly a Soul King!
Moreover, judging from his appearance and physique, he is excessively young, and looks no more than twenty-five years old.
"Soul King?"
The woman whispered instinctively, then asked seriously.
"Young lady, how old are you? What is your martial soul attribute?"
Gu Yuena was still in a slight daze.
She glanced at the woman with slightly bewildered eyes, then turned to Yang Teng, her mind racing.
How did it suddenly become that I'm supposed to join Tianshui Academy?
Seeing that she didn't respond immediately, Yang Teng became anxious, but he still forced a smile on his face and frantically gave Gu Yuena meaningful glances.
That look contained pleading, hints, and...
The urgency of "Leave everything to me, just agree first" was palpable.
Gu Yuena took in his unusually pleading expression.
Seeing this guy, who usually acts like a scoundrel and doesn't seem to care about anything, with such an expression, an indescribable sense of pleasure quietly rose in my heart.
On her perpetually aloof and indifferent face, there was an imperceptible twitch, and the corners of her lips seemed to want to turn up.
She didn't speak immediately; instead, a cool, clear thought entered Yang Teng's mind.
"Are you asking me for help?"
Yang Teng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately responded in his mind.
"Please help me, Sister Na! Let's go inside first!"
"Can."
Gu Yuena's inner thoughts remained calm, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible cunning.
"You're in charge of all the desserts for the next year."
Upon hearing this, Yang Teng almost burst out laughing. What was this all about?
"What do you mean, 'a year'? What's wrong with me taking care of you for a lifetime, as long as you like it!"
Of course, he didn't dare to actually convey these words through his mind.
This silent exchange lasted only a moment; to the woman in the blue dress at the door, it appeared as if the silver-haired beauty had been silently contemplating for a moment.
Finally, Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and her clear, cool voice rang out.
"My name is Gu Yuena, and I am eighteen years old."
"Eighteen years old?!"
The woman in the blue dress gasped in surprise, her juice glass wobbling in her hand.
An eighteen-year-old Soul King?! That's an absolutely monstrous talent!
"My martial soul is elemental control."
Gu Yuena continued, her tone as flat as if she were saying that the weather was nice today.
To prove it, and to meet the requirements of "Tianshui Academy", she casually tapped the air in front of her with her slender white fingertips.
In an instant, the dense water elements in the air were rapidly gathered, and two lifelike, clearly defined, azure water dragons materialized out of thin air.
The dragon gracefully circled around Gu Yuena's body, its head slightly raised, radiating pure and powerful water attribute fluctuations, without any of the sluggishness typical of water soul master skills.
This exquisite manipulation of elements completely captivated the woman in the blue dress at the door.
The surprise on her face was instantly replaced by immense joy, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Excellent! Fantastic! Such pure and powerful control over water attributes, an eighteen-year-old Soul King... Heaven bless my Heavenly Water Academy!"
She seemed to already see the academy triumphantly celebrating at the upcoming Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament, and exclaimed excitedly.
"With such talent, we'll definitely be able to crush those guys from Divine Wind Academy and Blazing Fire Academy in the competition!"
She could no longer care about Yang Teng's somewhat stiff smile beside her. She stepped forward and affectionately grabbed Gu Yuena's wrist, as if afraid that this treasure that had fallen from the sky would run away. Her tone was full of enthusiasm.
"Welcome to Tianshui Academy, Gu Yuena! Come with me, I'll take you to see the Dean!"
As she spoke, the woman pulled Gu Yuena, who was still not fully engaged, and led her into the academy.
The woman in the tight blue dress didn't turn her head, and quickly disappeared into the magnificent ice-blue buildings inside the academy gates, pulling Gu Yuena along with her.
Yang Teng was left standing alone at the grand entrance of Tianshui Academy, looking rather disheveled in the wind.
Yang Teng smiled wryly and followed silently behind.
The interior of Tianshui College is quiet and elegant, with buildings mainly in blue and white tones, adorned with ice crystal and flowing water decorations.
Dean Shui Yunxia was standing by the window. She looked to be in her early thirties, wearing an elegant light blue dress. She had a graceful figure and was extremely beautiful.
Furthermore, there is a mature charm that comes with the passage of time and a composed demeanor befitting someone in a high position.
She is a Soul Saint-level powerhouse and the core and soul of Tianshui Academy.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around, her gaze first falling on Gu Yuena, a hint of undisguised amazement and admiration flashing in her eyes.
The woman in the blue dress had already excitedly reported the situation to her.
"Sixteen years old, Soul King, elemental control type martial soul, water attribute mastery reached its peak..."
Shui Yunxia softly repeated these keywords, a bright smile blooming on her face, and immediately made the decision.
"Gu Yuena, on behalf of Tianshui Academy, I formally welcome you to the team! You are now a core member of the Tianshui Academy team!"
Gu Yuena bowed slightly, her manners impeccable.
"Thank you, Dean."
Her voice was cool and clear, yet it carried an undeniable weight.
Gu Yuena looked up at Shui Yunxia and calmly added.
"Dean, there's one more thing. I hope Yang Teng can also join Tianshui Academy and participate in this competition with me."
Her tone was so natural, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She truly lived up to her title as the Silver Dragon King!
Yang Teng immediately gave Gu Yuena a thumbs up in his mind: That's a good thing! This girl's "bribe" was definitely worth it! He was overjoyed.
Upon hearing this, Shui Yunxia turned her gaze to Yang Teng seriously and scrutinizingly for the first time.
She glanced at Yang Teng, then at Gu Yuena, who stood to the side with a calm expression but a hint of determination in her eyes. Her gaze shifted between the two of them for a moment, then became somewhat strange.
"Little sister Gu Yuena!"
Shui Yunxia's tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable sense of authority.
"We greatly appreciate your talent and strength, but you are surely aware of the rules of Tianshui Academy."
She looked at Yang Teng.
"This younger brother of Yang Teng does not seem to fit any of these criteria."
The atmosphere in the room was slightly tense.
Shui Yunxia tapped her fingertips lightly on the smooth tabletop, as if weighing her options.
Rejecting Gu Yuena? That would undoubtedly be a huge loss. Such a peerless genius is crucial to both the academy's reputation and the competition's results.
But for her sake, they made an exception and admitted a male student who clearly didn't meet the rules...
After a moment, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Her gaze sharpened again as she looked at Yang Teng. With her Soul Saint-level perception, she easily determined the level of Yang Teng's soul power fluctuations.
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."
Shui Yunxia spoke slowly.
"Gu Yuena's talent deserves an exception from the academy. Younger brother Yang Teng, judging from your soul power fluctuations, you should be at the Soul Master level?"
Yang Teng nodded slightly.
"I can give you a chance, make an exception this time. But whether you can stay depends on your own abilities."
She turned to the woman in the blue dress standing beside her: "Go and call Bing'er over."
Soon, a girl walked into the dean's office. She looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, long light blue hair draped over her shoulders, and clear blue eyes.
With a gentle and graceful demeanor, she was none other than Shui Bing'er, the captain of the Tianshui Academy team.
"Dean, you wanted to see me?"
Shui Bing'er's voice was clear and melodious.
Shui Yunxia looked at Yang Teng, her eyes becoming serious and filled with a sense of pressure.
"Young Master Yang Teng, your opponent is Bing'er. She is the captain of our academy's battle team and a level 43 control-type battle spirit master."
"If you can defeat her within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I'll make an exception this time!"
The opponent is Shui Bing'er, a top young talent from Tianshui Academy and a Soul Master specializing in control.
Victory would open the door to Tianshui College that had never been open to men; defeat would mean the end of everything.
Yang Teng met Shui Yunxia's gaze and flexed his wrists:
"Alright! Let's have a match then."
