Chapter 232 Shui Bing'er's Thoughts
Just as Yu Tianyun thought he could finally escape the torment of wanting to eat but not daring to, and breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Wu suddenly put her arms on his shoulders and kissed him on the lips.
This is playing with fire!
Yu Tianyun felt helpless. He knew this was Huo Wu's farewell kiss. Normally, he would have gladly cooperated, but to be subjected to such temptation in front of everyone, a hot-blooded young man like him, was simply unbearable.
However, he didn't try to hide; instead, he closed his eyes, hoping it would all end soon.
Just as he expected, a warm and hot touch landed on his lips, only to be gone in an instant, like Pigsy eating a ginseng fruit—it was gone before he could even taste it.
"Slap!" But then, just as Yu Tianyun's lips were halfway up in a smile, as he was about to savor the moment, a crisp slap rang out on his face.
Yu Tianyun opened his eyes, his gaze both clear and confused.
who am I? where am I?
Yu Tianyun was dumbfounded again. Everything had changed too fast, causing his brain to overload and making it impossible for him to understand the situation.
Huo Wu clutched her chest and backed away, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She pointed angrily at him and said, "Bastard, you scoundrel, you actually used your charm on me!"
"Referee, I concede!"
Huo Wu uttered these words to the referee, then lowered her head and ran off the stage. No one noticed that she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.
"Despicable! Shameless!" Feng Xiaotian slammed his fist on the railing in anger. He wished he could rush onto the stage and tear Yu Tianyun to pieces for daring to insult his Huo Wu sister like that!
Although Feng Xiaotian was furious, he was secretly relieved. It turned out that his Huo Wu sister hadn't fallen for Yu Tianyun, but was being controlled by a bewitching soul skill. In other words, he still had a chance!
"A honey trap?" Yu Tianyun quickly realized that he had been tricked.
He was both angry and amused, but since the other party had already admitted defeat and run away, he couldn't chase after them. He could only sigh helplessly and decide to take revenge another day!
At this moment, the referee quickly ran to the center of the arena and stood in front of Yu Tianyun. He looked nervous, afraid that Yu Tianyun might do something dangerous out of anger.
Yu Tianyun stood motionless, like a statue. The referee breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked at Yu Tianyun with the eyes of someone looking at a monster before announcing the result of the match.
"Blue Tyrant Academy vs. Blazing Fire Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy wins!"
The referee was also a Soul Emperor-level expert, but given the astonishing strength Yu Tianyun had just displayed, he knew he was no match for him.
If he were to face those seven from Blazing Fire Academy, he would have no confidence whatsoever in winning. Yet Yu Tianyun not only won, but also appeared to be unharmed.
"People from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are truly freakish." The referee sighed inwardly, subconsciously attributing it all to Yu Tianyun's incredibly powerful family background.
Then, without lingering, Yu Tianyun hurriedly left the arena and headed towards the passage leading out of the Great Soul Arena, instead of going to the rest area.
Huo Wu's deliberate act of turning the tables has made him the target of everyone's criticism.
The audience criticized him harshly, and there was no cheering for his victory.
However, there are some discerning people among them.
Most people with even a little knowledge, or those who have attended school, would not believe what Huo Wu said.
Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is recognized as the number one beast spirit in the world. Not only is its spirit strength extremely high, but its appearance is also domineering and majestic. It is like a superstar among spirits and is highly respected by the spirit master community.
Therefore, almost all Soul Masters are familiar with the characteristics of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul. Its attack, defense, speed, and burst damage are all top-notch, and it also possesses the rare lightning attribute.
Aside from its relatively poor endurance due to its high burst damage, it is almost the most perfect martial soul.
Moreover, apart from Yu Xiaogang, who was the first in history to mutate from Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex into a farting pig, other members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, even if their martial souls mutated, generally mutated into powerful true dragon martial souls with other elemental attributes.
But despite having such a powerful martial soul, they had never heard of it mutating into a mental attribute. They felt it was unlikely that Yu Tianyun would coincidentally mutate into a mental attribute.
In addition, many of them also know that golden spirit beasts generally represent extremely powerful strength, and Yu Tianyun's spirit changed from the blue-purple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus to gold. Therefore, they are almost 99% certain that Yu Tianyun's spirit is more suited to physical strength than mental strength.
Among these people, some were Soul Saints and Soul Douluos who were too proud to explain to ordinary people; others were low-level Soul Masters who were jealous of Yu Tianyun's strength and background and harbored resentment towards the rich, eager to see Yu Tianyun and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan make fools of themselves.
Only a few of Yu Tianyun's female fans are trying to speak up for him, but this Douluo Continent is not like his previous life. These little fairies have little influence and do not have the kind of star-studded, top-tier treatment he received in his previous life.
"That Huo Wu is shameless, she doesn't recognize herself after putting on a skirt..." Shui Yue'er pouted, rubbed her swollen little bottom, and said with a resentful look.
But when she saw Shui Bing'er's stern gaze, she quickly shut her mouth and lowered her head like a frightened little rabbit.
With her sister Shui Yue'er being so unrepentant and likely to do it again, Shui Bing'er could only sigh helplessly.
Then, she shifted her gaze from Shui Yue'er to Yu Tianyun.
She certainly didn't believe what Huo Wu said, but her curiosity about Yu Tianyun only grew stronger.
Yu Tianyun was about the same age as her, but his soul power cultivation was so much higher, reaching the Soul Emperor level, which was something she had never heard of before.
When Dugu Yan claimed to have the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, Shui Bing'er didn't quite believe it. Even if it were true, she could comfort herself by saying that Dugu Yan was several years older than her.
But now that she had seen Yu Tianyun's six dazzling spirit rings with her own eyes, she couldn't find any reason to comfort herself, and a sense of frustration welled up in her heart.
Her pride was no less than Huo Wu's, but she had a cool and aloof personality, unlike Huo Wu who was straightforward and didn't show her emotions on her face.
The five academies often exchange ideas, and she already knew Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and Yu Tianxin.
Besides Yu Tianxin's rapid progress in cultivation over the past few years, she has always maintained an extremely calm demeanor when facing Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and others.
Even though Feng Xiaotian possessed the powerful mutated martial soul, the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf, and was born with full soul power, with a soul power level one level higher than hers, she didn't take him too seriously. Instead, she felt a bit contempt for him from the bottom of her heart.
Feng Xiaotian possesses such outstanding talent, yet he only reached level 44 at the age of 24. She couldn't even think of a reason to take him seriously!
Shui Bing'er was unaware that Feng Xiaotian had wasted a lot of time cultivating his self-created soul skills, so she didn't understand what Feng Xiaotian had been doing all these years.
"Could it be that he's been spending all his time trying to win Huo Wu's favor?" This was the only reason Shui Bing'er could think of, which made her even more disdainful of Feng Xiaotian.
A brilliant Soul Master with a bright future wasted a lot of time at the age when he was most suitable for cultivation because of a woman he could not have. She thought Feng Xiaotian was an extremely stupid and unambitious good-for-nothing.
Actually, she wasn't entirely wrong. Feng Xiaotian's cultivation of soul power wasn't only delayed because he was practicing his self-created soul skills. Another reason was that he deliberately didn't let his soul power exceed the limit in order to please Huo Wu, and he also took up some cultivation time by frequently getting close to Huo Wu.
All his efforts were in vain; Huo Wu never paid any attention to him. Even if she did find out, she would probably only look down on him more.
Like Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er had absolutely no liking for a man like Feng Xiaotian who had no self-respect.
Within the Five Elements Academy, only Yu Tianxin commands her respect.
However, she did not feel too much pressure in front of Yu Tianxin, because she was the youngest among them, but her soul power level was not the lowest.
She believed that her cultivation level was definitely no worse than Yu Tianxin's at the same age, so despite her cool and calm appearance, she always had a hint of arrogance.
But that arrogance has gradually dissipated with the start of this competition.
First, the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy opened her eyes in the very first match of the first day.
Not only were all of them at least Soul Master level, but there was even a Soul King among them.
That's not the most important thing. The key issue is that she has lost her age advantage, which she used to be so proud of.
Of the women from Blue Tyrant Academy, apart from Zhu Zhuyun, who appeared at the beginning and was clearly a few years older than her, the others were either younger than her or about the same age.
Moreover, those around her age had higher cultivation levels than her, while those younger than her had similar cultivation levels. This caused her to have a mental breakdown and lose confidence in herself.
When did these top geniuses start appearing in droves?
What's even more outrageous is that as the competition progressed, Thunder Academy suddenly produced Yu Tianheng, a Soul King who was even stronger than Yu Tianxin. In addition, Blue Tyrant Academy even had a self-proclaimed Soul Emperor, Dugu Yan.
The former was a Soul King, which was understandable, as she had already witnessed Zhu Zhuyun and Yu Tianxin's abilities and wasn't too shocked. However, the latter was actually a Soul Emperor, which left her stunned for a long time.
The Soul Emperor contestant had never appeared in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament before. She wondered if she had misheard or if Dugu Yan was just bragging. In any case, she didn't really believe it and thought it was unlikely.
But today, she changed her mind because Yu Tianyun's appearance made her feel that Dugu Yan had no reason to lie.
The six gleaming spirit rings on Yu Tianyun's body were more powerful than any words, so it was quite normal that Dugu Yan, who was in the same team as him, was a Spirit Emperor.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but feel even more puzzled and curious. These geniuses, whom she herself was ashamed of, all seemed to have an extremely close relationship with Yu Tianyun.
It goes without saying that Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin are brothers and cousins with Yu Tianxin, which is common knowledge.
On the surface, the girls from Blue Tyrant Academy and Yu Tianyun were at least teammates. Shui Bing'er even seriously suspected that they were all in the same bed and were all Yu Tianyun's women.
"Could it be that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has some treasure that can enhance a Soul Master's talent?" The quick-witted Shui Bing'er immediately discovered the blind spot.
Yu Tianyun, and those closely related to him, are all geniuses more powerful than her. When did there become so many geniuses? And why are they all from the same faction? This is quite intriguing.
Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes flickered, but she didn't make a sound and dared not make a sound.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's possessions are beyond the reach of their small Tianshui Academy. It is a powerful force that has stood on the continent for thousands of years without ever weakening. Its history is far longer than that of the two great empires, and its foundation is extremely profound. Only the other two of the three upper sects and the Spirit Hall can rival it. Neither of the two great empires dares to harbor any wicked thoughts.
However, after figuring these things out, the sense of powerlessness in her heart dissipated considerably.
It wasn't that Shui Bing'er wasn't hardworking enough, nor that she lacked talent; it was simply that Yu Tianyun and the others had obtained treasures that could enhance talent.
Shui Bing'er possessed innate soul power at level nine, but her soul power cultivation was not only higher than that of other people with innate level nine soul power, but also not much weaker than Feng Xiaotian with full innate soul power. She had reason to be proud.
Shui Bing'er adjusted her mindset and regained her composure.
She gazed at Yu Tianyun's retreating figure, her beautiful eyes flickering with a hint of curiosity and longing.
Although she was no longer frustrated, it would be a lie to say that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan might have any ideas about treasures or methods to improve one's talents.
She believed that being able to enhance one's talent was something every Soul Master longed for.
Faced with the colossal Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, she couldn't think of any value she possessed that would warrant a treasure from them to enhance her talent.
Unlike Tang San, who felt jealous and resentful when others were better than him, Shui Bing'er was only slightly disappointed and wanted to strive for what she deserved in a reasonable way.
"Yu Tianyun is so lustful, perhaps he would use his body... No, I absolutely cannot do that. Even if I, Shui Bing'er, never obtain a treasure to enhance my talent in my entire life, I will never exchange my body for it. Moreover, even without external help, I will definitely become a Title Douluo!" Shui Bing'er quickly extinguished that absurd thought. "It's all Yue'er's fault. Spending too much time with her really does have an effect."
Shui Bing'er glanced at Shui Yue'er resentfully, but seeing that Shui Yue'er was obediently facing the wall in repentance, she said nothing.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, which made her look at Shui Yue'er a few more times.
Although she herself was unwilling to make that kind of deal with Yu Tianyun, Shui Yue'er would definitely be willing.
If it works out, as her own sister, she will definitely get a share of the benefits, and it will also provide her academy with a strong backer, greatly reducing the pressure when facing the Spirit Hall's coercion.
Moreover, Shui Yue'er is just one of Yu Tianyun's many women, and does not represent that Tianshui Academy has completely sided with the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect.
At the same time, they can only be considered to have connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect; their Tianshui Academy can still maintain a certain degree of independence. (End of Chapter)
