Chapter 30: Chapter 30: A Role Model for Us!
After lunch, the group left the academy cafeteria.
"Wushuang, Xiaowu, Xiaoyang, we still have matters to discuss with Dean Shui. You three take Bing'er and Yue'er for a tour of the academy," Mu Xiyue said to the trio.
As she spoke, Mu Xiyue gave Mu Yang a look of encouragement.
Hmm, encouragement from his aunt.
Mu Yang: ???
Then, Huo Lie and Mu Xiyue left together with Shui Yanyu.
At this moment, Huo Wu tugged on Huo Wushuang's sleeve, turned to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, and said, "Ahem~ Bing'er, Yue'er, my brother and I still have some things to take care of. Why don't we let Xiaoyang show you around?"
"Ah, yes, yes, Huo Wu and I have things to do as well. Let Xiaoyang keep you company," Huo Wushuang immediately agreed, clearly understanding the implication of Huo Wu's words.
Then, the two patted Mu Yang on the shoulder and left without looking back, leaving the task of hosting the sisters to him.
Mu Yang: It's confirmed—Huo Wu, what a great cousin. Huo Wushuang, you're also a great cousin.
The two of you may have only seventh-ranked innate soul power, but you definitely have the qualifications for a Title Douluo. I, Mu Yang, say so!
After Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang left, Shui Yue'er glanced at Mu Yang, then at her sister, and covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.
"Sister, do you think I should also have something to take care of?" Shui Yue'er teased Shui Bing'er.
"Yue'er, are you itching for a beating?" Shui Bing'er glared at her sister, clearly embarrassed by her comment.
"No, no, sister. I just thought of something funny," Shui Yue'er quickly waved her hand, suppressing her laughter before turning to Mu Yang. "Xiaomu Yang, take us around! This is our first time at Blazing Academy."
Nodding slightly, Mu Yang led the sisters on a tour of Blazing Academy's scenery.
As for the afternoon meditation training? Hmm, training isn't something accomplished in a single day. Skipping one day wouldn't hurt.
As they strolled, Mu Yang started a conversation.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, what types of soul masters are you two?"
Mu Yang asked curiously.
"Ahem~ Let me formally introduce myself. Shui Yue'er, 11 years old, martial soul: Glazed Jade Dolphin, 23rd-level agility attack system Grand Soul Master."
As she spoke, Shui Yue'er stopped walking, cleared her throat, and water-element soul power surged around her. A blue dolphin-like shadow appeared behind her as two yellow century-old soul rings glowed brightly.
"Clang—"
At the same time, a phoenix cry echoed as an icy blue phoenix appeared behind Shui Bing'er. A chilling aura spread from her as she introduced herself: "Shui Bing'er, 12 years old, martial soul: Ice Phoenix, 28th-level control system Grand Soul Master."
An 11-year-old 23rd-level Grand Soul Master, a 12-year-old 28th-level Grand Soul Master—there was no doubt that the two sisters were incredibly talented, among the rare geniuses on the continent.
However, the five-level soul power difference between them despite just a one-year age gap showed that Shui Bing'er's talent was superior to Shui Yue'er's.
Of course, Mu Yang already knew this from the original story, where Shui Bing'er had reached the four-ring Soul Ancestor level during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, while Shui Yue'er, who was one year younger, was still a three-ring Soul Elder.
"You two are sisters, right? Why are your martial souls different?"
Mu Yang asked, puzzled as he examined their martial souls.
Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix was a top-tier avian beast martial soul, while Shui Yue'er's Glazed Jade Dolphin, though strong, clearly fell short in comparison.
If they were half-sisters, their father's martial soul likely wasn't the Ice Phoenix; otherwise, based on martial soul inheritance principles, Shui Yue'er wouldn't have such a different and less powerful martial soul.
If Shui Bing'er's mother's martial soul was the Ice Phoenix, then why would their father marry a second wife?
After all, those with top-tier martial souls either came from prestigious families or were naturally blessed, where a lower martial soul evolved perfectly during awakening. The former wouldn't allow polygamy, and the latter—being a rare genius—wouldn't permit it either unless their father was the protagonist of some story.
So Shui Bing'er's case was likely similar to Ma Hongjun's—a perfect martial soul evolution that happened at awakening?
And since Shui Bing'er came from a decent family, the initial martial soul quality was far higher than Ma Hongjun's inferior Evil Fire Phoenix, resulting in a flawless mutation without side effects.
The sisters exchanged glances before Shui Bing'er explained: "Yue'er and I are half-sisters, sharing the same father but different mothers. My mother and Yue'er's mother are sisters who married my father together.
My mother and my aunt's martial souls are Glazed Jade Dolphins, while my father's martial soul is the Ice Sparrow. The two martial souls are fairly equal in quality. Yue'er inherited our aunt's Glazed Jade Dolphin martial soul, while I inherited our father's Ice Sparrow.
However, during my martial soul awakening, a positive mutation occurred, and my Ice Sparrow martial soul evolved into the Ice Phoenix."
Hearing this, Mu Yang was stunned.
Not because Shui Bing'er's Ice Sparrow evolved into the Ice Phoenix—he had already anticipated that—but because their father had managed to marry both sisters.
Hmm, Mu Yang felt he must pay his respects to Shui Bing'er's father!
Mu Yang: A true role model for us!
The next morning, at the center of Blazing Academy's "Plant Garden" mimicry cultivation field, Mu Yang was seated beneath the academy treasure, the Fire Tree Silver Flower, meditating.
Cultivation wasn't something done overnight. Skipping one day wasn't a big deal, but skipping every day wasn't proper.
As the half-host, Mu Yang couldn't leave his guests unattended either.
So, he slightly adjusted his schedule for the Five Element Academy meeting period, temporarily pausing his private lessons.
His morning routine of simulations and nighttime "Lunar Refining technique" practice remained unchanged. However, he moved his afternoon meditation to the morning, spent the afternoons hosting the guests, and resumed nighttime training as usual.
Suddenly, during his meditation, Mu Yang noticed the sound of hurried footsteps.
A moment later, his cousin Huo Wu's voice rang out: "Xiaoyang, stop cultivating. There's excitement today at the academy!"
"What excitement?"
Mu Yang opened his eyes, curiosity evident in his voice.
"Last night, the people from Godwind, Thunderclap, and Elephant Armored Academies all arrived. Together with the early arrivals from Sky Water Academy, the Five Element Academies are now all here.
Other than Sky Water Academy, the other academies brought their top students. With so many rivals together, there's bound to be some disagreements. They've already started fighting at the central training ground!"
As she spoke, excitement flashed through Huo Wu's eyes.
Fights? As long as she wasn't the one being beaten, it was her favorite kind of entertainment!
