Chapter 7: Aunt Bing, You’re Still as Flat as Ever

And just like that, Xue Tianyu successfully enrolled in Tianshui Academy.

Becoming the only male student in Tianshui.

From then on, every year, some hopeful parents would bring their sons to try their luck, but without exception, they were all sent away humiliated.

This made Xue Tianyu the most unique existence in Tianshui Academy.

"Hmm, our little Tianyu is going off to school now, huh?"

Bing Di pinched Xue Tianyu's chubby cheeks with a smile, but there was a hint of disappointment on her face. "It'll be months before we see you again."

As a soul beast, Bing Di had lived for hundreds of thousands of years without feeling the passage of time. But after raising Xue Tianyu for just a few short years, she had already formed a deep emotional bond with him.

Now that she had to part with him, even for a little while, she felt incredibly reluctant.

She knew it would only be a few months, and they would see each other again soon. But this was the first time she truly understood why humans described a single day apart as feeling like three years.

"This feeling is called reluctance."

Xue Di looked at Bing Di's face and smiled faintly.

She wasn't feeling great about it either.

But Xue Tianyu needed to grow, and they would have to go through separations like this.

"Then I'll just have to hug him more now." Xue Di scooped Xue Tianyu into her embrace, pressing his head against her chest.

"Ugh… Aunt Xue, not so hard—mmph… I can't breathe!"

Her embrace was soft, warm, and fragrant, but it also completely cut off his airflow. It was definitely comfortable—but he still needed to breathe!

Xue Tianyu barely managed to lift his head for a gasp of fresh air before Xue Di planted another flurry of kisses on his face.

"Stop! You're going to suffocate him!"

Bing Di, watching from the side, hurriedly tried to pull Xue Tianyu out of Xue Di's arms.

The poor boy was left looking completely dazed, as if drunk on affection.

Xue Di remained calm and composed. "Since we won't see Tianyu for months, I'm just making up for all the hugs and kisses in advance."

Bing Di froze. 'Wait, you can do that?'

"That… actually makes sense!"

As if she had just discovered a whole new world, she immediately scooped Xue Tianyu into her own embrace.

And so, after enduring Xue Di's hugs, the poor boy was then subjected to Bing Di's as well…

…

Finally, the day of school arrived.

Bing Di and Xue Di personally handed Xue Tianyu over to the headmaster of Tianshui Academy before reluctantly leaving.

In the headmaster's eyes, Xue Tianyu was now a priceless treasure.

And so, his new life at Tianshui Academy began.

His system required him to sign in at new locations to receive rewards.

[Ding! New location detected. Would you like to sign in?]

"Sign in!"

Xue Tianyu knew that the first sign-in at any new place always gave the best rewards.

[Sign-in successful at Tianshui Academy! Reward: Divine Artifact—Frost God Spear!]

Frost God Spear!

Xue Tianyu immediately summoned it.

The spear was completely snow-white, and the moment he held it in his hands, anything the tip touched instantly froze!

He was extremely satisfied. This freezing ability could combine with his Ice Explosion Technique for devastating effects.

Even though he was exceptionally talented, catching up to Bibi Dong wouldn't be easy.

So many years had passed—Bibi Dong had probably already reached the Title Douluo level.

He couldn't slack off. He had to keep getting stronger.

Everything was in preparation for his revenge!

Thus, at the academy, he worked harder than anyone else.

His female classmates admired him immensely.

Not only was he more talented than them, but he also put in more effort than anyone. There was simply no way to surpass him.

As they watched Xue Tianyu grow stronger day by day, these girls found their hearts gradually occupied by him.

So, whenever he stepped out of his dormitory, a group of beautiful girls would always follow.

It was quite convenient for him, actually.

His sign-in system could register people too.

No matter who it was, signing them in granted rewards.

And if the person was a well-known figure on the continent, the rewards would be even greater.

Of course, even small gains added up.

If it helped him grow stronger, he wouldn't turn down any progress.

Besides, the rewards weren't always just power increases.

So, in between his training, he casually signed in the headmaster while having tea with him—and gained a massive boost to his soul power!

After that, he started signing in with the vice-headmaster—gaining enhanced stamina!

Signing in with an elder teacher—gaining increased physical strength!

Signing in with a new teacher—gaining enhanced toxin resistance!

Signing in with a girl from the neighboring class—gaining heightened perception!

Xue Tianyu quickly realized his system was ridiculously effective.

So, one by one, he signed in all the female students he knew.

At first, he thought he was only getting minor power boosts—until he encountered two little girls who had come to visit the academy.

They weren't old enough to enroll yet, but due to their outstanding martial souls, they had already been pre-admitted.

As usual, he signed them in.

[Sign-in successful with Shui Bing'er! Reward: Massive boost to spiritual power!]

[Sign-in successful with Shui Yue'er! Reward: Drastic enhancement to healing ability!]

Only then did he realize—these two girls were none other than the Shui sisters.

…

Years passed in the blink of an eye.

Xue Tianyu had just turned twelve.

Through relentless training and strategic sign-ins, his cultivation had already reached the Soul Emperor level.

A twelve-year-old Soul Emperor—unprecedented in the entire continent!

Standing in the academy plaza, he felt the power surging within him. In a great mood, he summoned his Frost God Spear and performed a spear dance.

His movements were swift and elegant, his figure flashing across the square like an icy phantom. Countless girls stopped to watch in admiration.

Among them, two little first-years clapped and cheered excitedly.

"Big Brother Tianyu is so cool!"

"Wow! Big Brother Tianyu is amazing!"

Six-year-old Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er had stars in their eyes.

Although they had just enrolled, they had already known Xue Tianyu for years.

Hearing their excited voices, Xue Tianyu smiled gently.

He purposely ended his spear dance and walked up to them.

"This year, you're officially students now. That makes us schoolmates—so train hard, alright?"

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were thrilled that he had come to speak to them personally. Like fangirls meeting their idol, they immediately pounced into his arms.

"We'll do our best!"

Xue Tianyu chuckled softly as he hugged them.

"Good girls~"

…

Time flew by, and another summer break arrived.

Bing Di had been waiting impatiently at the school gates for Xue Tianyu's return.

As soon as he stepped out, she pulled him into a hug, pressing his head against her chest.

"You little rascal, you've grown taller again."

Xue Tianyu took in Bing Di's familiar scent, feeling completely at ease.

"Aunt Bing, you're still as flat as ever."

Translator's Note: I have set up a patreon and it currently has 5 advanced chapters.

The subscription model I used is Subscription Billing (honestly, I don't know what its really called.

But here's the definition: Patrons are charged on the same date they signed up each month. If someone joins on the 10th, they will be charged again on the 10th of the following month.)

Furthermore, the tiers aren't exclusive to one translated fanfic but to any translated fanfic I will work on. So if you pay for the 5 advanced chapters patreon tier, not only will you get 5 advanced chapters for this fanfic, but to other translated fanfics I'm working on.

Thank you again for your support and you have my undying gratitude. For those who can't afford being a patron, no worries as you all can throw those powerstones at me and feed the algorithm.

Although powerstones won't give me money, it does motivate me seeing the numbers rise. Reason why I had liked playing incremental games before.

I also plan to do a discord server. I know some of you guys are like me who frickin reads MTL so some poison testers and MTL warriors there can suggest me some good fanfics to translate (assuming it's not taken by another translation group/individual).

Btw, no worries as I'll continue updating 2 chapters daily until the fanfic is completed or I caught up to the raw. (Another possibility is that the raw site I'm using no longer provides updates then I can't do anything about it).

Furthermore, this is merely to support me so the advanced chapters are not a hard paywall. When its completed, I'll release the advanced chapters with the usual 2 chapters daily update rate.

Also, if I have time, and if any of you are interested, I can translate another fanfic (to make the tiers worth it to you guys who plan to buy it).

There's a Douluo Fanfic where the MC transmigrates as Qian Xunji and becomes the Pope of Spirit Hall. He has a system that requires him to overturn the plot and he get rewards by doing so. Furthermore, he lets Bibi Dong, that ungrateful disciple, be with Yu Xiaogang after crippling her cultivation and expelling her from the Spirit Hall (so he didn't become the Secret Room Douluo).

It's a recent fanfic so it doesn't have many chapters in the raw, and only has around 100+ chapters. The waifus from what I have read are Ling Yuan (the Spirit Kite Douluo) and Ah Yin (the Blue Silver Empress).

So tell me if you are interested and for those who aren't, you can join the discord server and give me suggestions on raw to translate.

To be honest, after reading too many Douluo fanfics, I have become an Anti Tang San and an Anti Bibi Dong. But don't worry as when I translate, I don't add any biases and ensure that it stays true to the original (unless it has poison content such as extreme racism, discrimination, etc., which I will mostly eliminate).

Anyway, that's all and have a nice day!
