Gu Yuena's sudden remark seemed like she was declaring her identity and ownership to Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er was also very well-behaved.
"Greetings, Sister!"
Seeing this, Gu Yuena nodded faintly.
Qi Lin laughed from the side, "Na Jie is just like that."
"Oh right, didn't you say you got separated from your teacher?"
"How did you get separated? Do you need our help to find your teacher?"
Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately said,
"In the past two days, the Extreme North has undergone some unknown changes. Many spirit beasts over ten thousand years old have appeared in the outer areas."
"Not long ago, my teacher and I encountered a thirty-thousand-year-old Ice soul Demon Bear. With my strength, staying would only distract my teacher."
"So I walked back alone along the way, but I didn't expect to encounter those nine Snow Shadow Wolves just now."
Saying this, Shui Bing'er raised her hand and patted her budding chest, a look of relief flashing in her eyes.
Continuous fleeing had already consumed most of the spirit power in her body.
If she hadn't met Qi Lin and Gu Yuena, she would have faced the predicament of spirit power depletion very soon.
Qi Lin was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Because he realized that the reason for this change might be related to him.
On the way back, in order to test the power of the Kirin Assault Technique, he had taken action a few times when attacked by spirit beasts,
As a result, he didn't control his strength well, causing a tiny bit of a big commotion.
This caused many nearby spirit beasts to be startled and flee to the outer areas of the Extreme North.
"Since that's the case, let's go help you find your teacher first!" Qi Lin said.
"Thank you, Senior!" Shui Bing'er was overjoyed, feeling that the senior was too considerate.
With Shui Bing'er providing Xue Han's features, Gu Yuena only took a second to pinpoint Xue Han's location.
Xue Han was not in mortal danger, but she was tightly entangled by that thirty-thousand-year-old Ice soul Demon Bear and had not been able to break free. Knowing Xue Han's location, the rest was easy.
It was nothing more than an extra trip!
On the way, Shui Bing'er also got to know Qi Lin again.
But the deeper her understanding of Qi Lin, the more shocked she felt inside.
A thirteen-year-old Level 70 Soul Emperor!
What kind of talent is this?
It's simply unheard of!
And having witnessed Qi Lin's actions, Shui Bing'er naturally had no doubt about his talent.
Soon, the three of them found Xue Han, who was still entangled with the Ice soul Demon Bear.
Xue Han looked a bit disheveled at the moment, but she could always skillfully dodge the Ice soul Demon Bear's seemingly clumsy attacks.
"Bing'er, why are you back again!" After noticing Shui Bing'er, Xue Han was first stunned, and then her brows furrowed tightly.
However, she immediately noticed Qi Lin and Gu Yuena, who were following Shui Bing'er, and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
"Bing'er is not a reckless person. Does she think these two people can help her?"
As soon as this thought arose in her mind, Xue Han's gaze fell on Gu Yuena.
In her opinion, Gu Yuena was more likely to be able to help her.
As for Qi Lin, he was too young. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be that strong.
But the next second, before she could react, a laser beam suddenly brushed past her, instantly piercing the Ice soul Demon Bear's heart.
Bang!
The Ice soul Demon Bear, whose heart was pierced by the laser beam, collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
Looking at this sudden scene, Xue Han's body suddenly froze in place, falling into a daze for a moment.
She stared blankly at the fist-sized blood hole in the Ice soul Demon Bear's chest for a full two or three seconds before she suddenly came back to her senses, trembling all over.
If she wasn't mistaken, it was the young man standing beside Bing'er who had attacked just now!
Killing a thirty-thousand-year-old Ice soul Demon Bear with a casual blow, such terrifying strength was probably something even a Soul Douluo couldn't achieve.
Title Douluo!
Xue Han's heart trembled. She didn't expect to meet a Title Douluo powerhouse here.
Thinking of this, Xue Han immediately turned around and bowed respectfully to Qi Lin.
"Xue Han of Tianshui Academy, thank you, Your Excellency, for your assistance!"
Your Excellency was an honorific for Title Douluo. Although Qi Lin had not released his spirit rings, Xue Han still firmly believed in her judgment.
Qi Lin smiled lazily and waved his hand.
"You're welcome."
After Xue Han was rescued, Shui Bing'er continued to search for a suitable spirit beast to hunt.
With the help of Qi Lin and Gu Yuena, they quickly helped her obtain suitable spirit rings.
During the spirit hunting process, Xue Han also learned about Qi Lin and was equally amazed by his talent.
And the fact that Qi Lin's Level 70 spirit power could unleash strength comparable to a Title Douluo was even more incomprehensible to Xue Han.
However, this did not affect her respect for Qi Lin.
As for Shui Bing'er, she did not tell Xue Han the entire story, such as the details of her offering herself to Qi Lin.
A day later, the group of four completely left the outer area of the Extreme North.
After returning to the city, Shui Bing'er looked at Qi Lin with a slight blush on her face.
"Senior Qi Lin, why don't you come to Tianshui Academy with us?"
Although she knew Qi Lin was younger than her, Shui Bing'er still called Qi Lin Senior.
Beside Shui Bing'er, Xue Han also echoed immediately.
"Bing'er is right. If Teacher Qi Lin and Miss Gu Yuena don't mind, you can visit our Tianshui Academy so that we can fulfill our duties as hosts and thank you both for your kindness yesterday."
Qi Lin heard this and rubbed his chin.
After only a second, he made a decision.
"Of course!"
Shui Bing'er and Xue Han both showed a look of joy on their faces upon hearing this.
Half an hour later, Qi Lin found the coachman who had settled in the city and then went to Tianshui Academy with Shui Bing'er and Xue Han.
Tianshui Academy is located in Tianshui City, in the northernmost part of the Heaven Dou Empire, four to five hundred kilometers from the Extreme North.
Taking Qi Lin's carriage, they arrived at Tianshui Academy in just half a day.
Tianshui Academy was built within Tianshui City, unlike Heaven Dou Academy which was built outside Heaven Dou City.
As for why this was the case, according to Shui Bing'er, it was because Tianshui Academy was founded even earlier than Tianshui City.
And Tianshui City was built around Tianshui Academy after it became famous, and it has a history of several hundred years.
In addition, Shui Bing'er also introduced some other rules of Tianshui Academy.
For example, the admission requirements for Tianshui Academy are extremely strict, being the most stringent among the five major elemental academies in the Heaven Dou Empire.
First, students applying to Tianshui Academy must have a water-attribute martial soul.
Second, only female students are recruited, and they must be beautiful.
These two conditions alone have eliminated too many Soul Masters.
Qi Lin couldn't help but complain after hearing this.
"It's a good thing your academy still recruits commoners, otherwise I wouldn't dare to imagine how many disciples your academy would have."
"I can understand only recruiting female students, but I really don't understand the use of the rule of only recruiting beautiful women."
Qi Lin highly suspected that the first Dean who founded Tianshui Academy never intended to run the school properly, otherwise, just the rule of only recruiting beautiful women would cause them to miss countless geniuses.
Shui Bing'er listened to Qi Lin's complaints and leaned close to Qi Lin, whispering, "Actually, I also think this rule is not good. When I become the Dean in the future, I will abolish this rule."
The next chapter is being written, but I'm a bit stuck recently, so it's writing a bit slowly.
