Under Shui Bing'er's guidance, Yan, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang entered Sky Water Academy.
As soon as they stepped through the academy gates, the three of them were stunned by the sight before them.
The academy was filled with lush greenery and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air.
On the wide roads, female students dressed in Sky Water Academy uniforms walked back and forth. Some chatted in groups of three or five, while others hurried along alone each exuding the vibrant energy of youth.
Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang widened their eyes. They had never seen so many beautiful girls gathered in one place, each radiating a unique charm.
Some were gentle like water, some were passionate like fire, others were lively like the wind an overwhelming feast for the eyes.
Yan, on the other hand, remained calm. He looked around and couldn't help but sigh inwardly Sky Water Academy truly lived up to its reputation as a gathering place for beauties.
Shui Bing'er led the three of them on a tour of the academy, introducing its buildings, history, and unique features along the way.
As they walked, the girls they passed noticed the group of four, sensing the aura exuded by Yan, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang. Curious glances were cast in their direction.
In this academy of water attribute spirit masters, the appearance and temperament of the three stood out starkly.
Huo Wushuang wasn't used to receiving so much attention. Being stared at by so many eyes at once, he became a bit flustered and unconsciously quickened his pace.
Huo Wu noticed and couldn't help but tease her brother.
"Big bro, you're a grown man. How can you still get shy?"
"Little sis, you're not me, you wouldn't understand. This feeling... it's really strange."
"Tch! Then look at Brother Yan."
Huo Wu pointed to Yan beside her.
"He's not blushing, not flustered, totally calm."
Huo Wushuang glanced at Yan and saw that he was acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary. He even smiled and nodded at a few girls as they passed by, which earned Huo Wushuang's admiration.
"Maybe Brother Yan is someone who's used to big scenes."
After saying that, Huo Wushuang scratched his head awkwardly, trying to change the subject.
"Little sis, how about we go visit Dean Ling first?"
"Sure, I was thinking the same."
Huo Wu nodded in agreement, then looked at Yan.
"Brother Yan, you want to come with us?"
Yan shook his head.
"You two go ahead. I'll pass."
"Won't you be bored on your own?"
"It's fine, I'll wander around a bit."
"Alright, we'll come find you later then."
Shui Bing'er chimed in:
"Then I'll take you to the Dean's office first."
Huo Wu waved her hand.
"No need, just grab a student to take us there. You go show Brother Yan around. We'll catch up later."
As she spoke, a strange smile surfaced on her face she was clearly trying to create a chance for Yan and Shui Bing'er to be alone.
Before Shui Bing'er could react, Huo Wu quickly grabbed a passing girl.
"Hey, could you take us to Dean Ling's office?"
The girl was momentarily stunned and looked at Shui Bing'er before realizing they were friends.
"Sure, come with me."
"Great, thank you."
Huo Wu waved at Shui Bing'er and Yan.
"You two go enjoy the tour. See you later."
With that, she and Huo Wushuang followed the girl away.
What was originally a group of four now became just Shui Bing'er and Yan walking side by side. Shui Bing'er looked a little flustered.
Yan spoke."Let's go. Just a casual stroll."
"Mm."
The two of them walked past towering teaching buildings, spacious training fields, and the library brimming with endless knowledge.
Everywhere they went, a slight commotion followed.
Girls in their youth, filled with budding feelings, cast curious and admiring glances toward them. Some even huddled together, whispering about the handsome boy who had suddenly appeared.
"Who's that boy beside Senior Bing'er? He's kinda handsome."
"Yeah. I wonder what his relationship is with Sister Bing'er."
"They look quite well-matched."
Amid the stares and whispered discussions, Shui Bing'er felt a bit embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed unconsciously.
She stole a glance at Yan beside her, only to find that he still walked on with a composed expression, as if the voices and gazes around them had nothing to do with him.
Yan's calm demeanor made Shui Bing'er feel a deep sense of admiration. It also made her even more curious what kind of experiences and background did this boy have to possess such composure and maturity beyond his age?
A short while later, guided by another girl, Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang returned.
Dean Ling of Sky Water Academy was an old acquaintance of Huo Wu's parents. After a long chat, the two finally left the office.
Afterward, Shui Bing'er gave the three of them a tour around the academy.
After dining in the academy's dining hall, the three finally departed.
From that day forward, the bond between Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er grew even deeper the two became as close as sisters.
Upon leaving the academy, Huo Wushuang suddenly came to a stop.
"Brother Yan, we're planning to set off for Blazing Fire City early tomorrow morning, so we won't be returning to Tokes City with you tonight."
"Alright, then let's part ways here. I wish you a safe journey."
Yan knew that although the siblings were children of the Dean of Blazing Fire Academy, they couldn't act recklessly.
This journey must have experts secretly escorting them.
They had their own schedule, so he didn't pry.
Huo Wu looked a bit reluctant.
Though she hadn't known Yan for long, she already acknowledged him in her heart not only his strength, but also his one-of-a-kind charm.
"Brother Yan, come here for a second. I have something I want to say to you."
Huo Wu pulled Yan aside.
"What is it?"
"What do you think of Bing'er now?"
"She's not bad a gentle and kind girl."
Yan had already answered this question once before. This time, he still gave the same reply.
"You really are a blockhead. Bing'er likes you, can't you tell? My instincts are never wrong."
"Oh? So you're an expert now? Do you have someone you like, or someone who likes you?"
Yan said this deliberately, trying to see Huo Wu's reaction whether she would mention Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian was born with full spirit power and was a highly talented soul master. Unfortunately, he wasted too much time and energy chasing after Huo Wu and developing his self-created spirit techniques, which delayed his cultivation.
Had he realized sooner, he might've caused the bastards more trouble during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Huo Wu pouted.
"I'm not telling you."
"True feelings are rare. Treasure the one before your eyes. If you don't love him, then let him go sooner rather than later."
Hearing that, Huo Wu froze.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. It's getting dark I have to go."
Yan finished speaking, turned, and prepared to leave.
"Goodbye, Brother Yan."
"Mm, see you in two years."
Yan waved to the siblings and quickly disappeared from their sight.
After meeting up with Yue Guan, Yan spread his flame wings and sped away. Half an hour later, the two returned to Tokes City.
In the days that followed, Yan focused on cultivating while carrying out his plans.
Inside the Tokes Grand Spirit Arena, he partnered with a recently promoted Rank 50 Battle Soul King to form a two-man team, allowing him to challenge two Battle Soul Kings at once.
After absorbing those three immortal herbs, the flame power within Yan's body had become even more vigorous. He gained immunity to ice and water attributes, immunity to all poisons, and his spiritual power also grew stronger.
Even without releasing his Blazing Wings, challenging two Rank 50+ Battle Soul Kings simultaneously was no big deal for him.
After winning several consecutive matches, the challenges within the arena gradually became dull to him.
So recently, Yan had stopped going to the arena, choosing instead to cultivate in the hotel every day.
Yan hadn't originally come here for soul battle competitions. His main goal was to seize the opportunity to harvest the immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Now that the goal had been achieved, it was time to cultivate diligently and raise his soul power as quickly as possible.
With the medicinal effects of the immortal herbs, Yan's cultivation progress became much smoother.
Just a few days ago, he successfully broke through to Rank 45.
In recent days, Yue Guan had been especially excited.
After absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yue Guan's martial soul had been enhanced. He felt that he was about to break through the barrier of Rank 96.
That day, after finishing his cultivation, Yan had just stood up and was preparing to stretch a bit when he suddenly heard a flurry of hurried footsteps outside the room.
Opening the door, he was greeted by none other than Yue Guan.
Yue Guan's face was glowing, his smile radiant it was clear something worth celebrating had happened.
"Teacher, judging by your expression, you've broken through to Rank 96?"
"Brat, you guessed right I've broken through to Rank 96! All thanks to that Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum you gave me, hahaha~~"
As Yue Guan spoke, he gave Yan a hearty hug.
He had been stuck at Rank 95 for a full ten years. Today, he had finally broken through.
After the two celebrated, Yue Guan suggested."We've been away from Spirit Hall for over two months. With your current strength, no soul master under Soul King level is a match for you. I think there's no need to continue training in the spirit arena. I wonder how Nana and Xie Yue are doing in their own training. Why don't we head back to Spirit City early?"
"Alright, I was just thinking the same."
