Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Shui Binger
"Xiaoyang, come here!"
When Mu Yang saw a group of people, Mu Xiyue also noticed Mu Yang and quickly waved her hand to call out.
"Uncle, Aunt."
Hearing the call, Mu Yang snapped out of his thoughts, walked up quickly, and greeted them. Then his gaze landed on the blue-haired beautiful woman dressed in blue.
Judging by the color of her attire alone, Mu Yang immediately assumed that this blue-haired beautiful woman likely possessed a water- or ice-attribute martial soul.
And anyone his uncle and aunt would personally receive must possess both high status and strength. Without a doubt, she was from Sky Water Academy.
After all, a few days ago, his cousin Huo Wu mentioned that Blazing Fire Academy had invited the other four elemental academies for a meeting, and the timing matched perfectly.
"Dean Yan Yu, let me introduce you. This is my nephew, Mu Yang, and he is also the youngest and most talented student at our Blazing Fire Academy right now.
Xiaoyang, this is Dean Shui Yanyu of Sky Water Academy. You should call her Aunt Yanyu."
Mu Xiyue smiled while introducing them.
When mentioning Mu Yang, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but straighten her back, her tone laced with pride.
It couldn't be helped—her nephew was just too outstanding, with innate full soul power and possessing twin martial souls.
Of course, even if Mu Xiyue wanted to show off her nephew, she would only mention his innate full soul power. As for the twin martial souls? That was a secret.
"Aunt Yanyu."
Mu Yang greeted her.
Immediately noticing Mu Yang's second-ring soul power level, Shui Yanyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Mu Yang, how old are you this year?"
"Eight years old," Mu Yang replied directly.
Instantly, Shui Yanyu's face showed a hint of surprise.
An eight-year-old Soul Grandmaster with two rings. If he had just turned eight, he must have innate full soul power. Even if it was near the end of his eighth year, he would still possess at least level-nine innate soul power, the mark of a Title Douluo candidate.
"What an impressive talent, little one! But why do you look a bit pale? Are you unwell?"
Noticing Mu Yang's slightly pale complexion, Shui Yanyu asked with curiosity.
It had been a long time since Shui Yanyu had seen a soul master looking this fragile unless they were injured.
As soon as Shui Yanyu spoke, the two blue-haired girls behind her also looked at Mu Yang.
This little brother is quite handsome, but he looks rather weak—what a pity!
However, because he appeared unwell, it also stirred a strange desire to protect him.
Seeing this, Mu Yang felt a bit embarrassed.
Damn it!
Why does everyone focus (or wonder) so much on my appearance?
"Honestly, it's strange. Xiaoyang has always been like this since he was little. We've never figured out the reason. But Xiaoyang is healthy—if there's a problem, it might be on a spiritual level."
Seeing Mu Yang's awkward expression, Huo Lie explained.
Of course, Huo Lie used to worry about Mu Yang's condition, but now he didn't anymore.
It was laughable. His nephew had been blessed by a great deity—multiple times, in fact. A minor issue like this surely didn't matter.
"Ahem. Hello, I'm Mu Yang."
Clearing his throat, Mu Yang addressed the two blue-haired girls.
"Hello, little brother. I'm Shui Yue'er, and this is my sister, Shui Bing'er."
Seeing that Mu Yang looked three to four years younger than them, the sweet-looking Shui Yue'er introduced herself while holding onto her sister Shui Bing'er.
"Hello."
Shui Bing'er nodded slightly.
'So it really is you!'
Automatically ignoring the "little brother" remark from Shui Yue'er, Mu Yang thought to himself.
With her Sky Water Academy background, blue hair, and a younger sister with a similar appearance, this was undoubtedly the Ice Phoenix girl who appeared in the original Soul Master Tournament.
Speaking of Shui Bing'er, her talent for cultivation was indeed remarkable, on par with Dai Mubai or Ma Hongjun if they had not consumed any immortal herbs.
Unfortunately, she hadn't been given a protagonist role. Though her entrance was stunning, she ultimately faded into the background.
Of course, this wasn't Shui Bing'er's fault. The main issue was that Tang San and the others, as protagonists, grew too quickly. As a result, every peer-level soul master except Qian Renxue, who played the antagonist, paled in comparison.
"Smack!"
Seeing her cousin staring at Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu showed a look of disdain and smacked Mu Yang on the head, saying irritably, "Hey, why are you staring at Bing'er like that?"
"Haha! Xiyue, it looks like your little prodigy nephew has been enchanted by my Bing'er!"
Shui Yanyu covered her mouth with a laugh, teasing Mu Xiyue.
Mu Yang: "…"
I didn't!
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er blushed slightly, lowering her head shyly.
"If he's enchanted, so be it. Xiaoyang's a boy, after all. We at Blazing Fire Academy won't lose out!"
Mu Xiyue said nonchalantly.
It wasn't like her own "cabbage" was being stolen—her nephew was the "pig" going after someone else's cabbage, so why would she worry?
"Wishful thinking!"
Shui Yanyu rolled her eyes at Mu Xiyue, then looked at Mu Yang and said, "Mu Yang, if you're willing, I can make an exception and let you join our Sky Water Academy."
Unlike Blazing Fire Academy, Sky Water Academy had much stricter entry requirements.
Talent was, of course, the top priority. Beyond that, Sky Water Academy only accepted female students with water- or ice-attributed martial souls, and they also had to meet beauty standards—otherwise, they were directly "ugly rejected."
However, geniuses like Mu Yang couldn't be viewed as ordinary soul masters. With his displayed talent, even if his martial soul was fire-based and even though he was male, he had the qualifications to make Shui Yanyu bend the rules.
As for breaking the rules? Rules were made by people, after all.
Recruiting a Title Douluo prospect and poaching him directly from Blazing Fire Academy? The other senior members of Sky Water Academy would definitely approve without question.
"Thank you, Aunt Yanyu, but I'll pass."
Mu Yang shook his head, declining Shui Yanyu's offer.
Sky Water Academy's strength was on par with Blazing Fire Academy, and its students were all girls. If he went there, he would be like the lone man in a kingdom of women—what a comfortable life that would be!
But Mu Yang wouldn't go. For one, Sky Water Academy's mimic cultivation grounds all featured water and ice attributes. If he joined Sky Water, where would he get fire-attribute cultivation grounds to help him train?
"Dean Shui, let's talk more later. Let's have the meal first."
At this moment, Huo Lie interjected.
"Very well! Mu Yang, Sky Water Academy's doors will always be open for you."
As she spoke, Shui Yanyu reached out to pat the heads of her two nieces, subtly gesturing toward Shui Bing'er.
In Shui Yanyu's view, regardless of how things turned out in the future, she should first lure him to Sky Water Academy. Even if it meant involving her eldest niece, it would be worth it.
A Title Douluo prospect was certainly qualified to become the son-in-law of the Shui family in Sky Water City.
Mu Yang: "…"
Do I look like someone who can be swayed by beauty?
—
{The original didn't specify Shui Bing'er's age or innate soul power; it only stated her soul power level as 43 during her appearance, with her age appearing to be under 20.
In this story, Shui Bing'er has an innate soul power of level 8 and is 18 years old during the Soul Master Tournament, making her four years older than the protagonist, Mu Yang.
Additionally, Shui Yue'er is her younger sister, one year younger than Shui Bing'er. Their character designs are based on the anime.
