"Bing'er?" Luo Yu asked, puzzled.
The tall girl outside the door had long, water-blue hair and was standing there prettily in her uniform.
"What, aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" Shui Bing'er smiled gently, her small face actually flushed a little.
Shui Bing'er sat on the bed, her eyes shining as she looked at Luo Yu, as if she were observing some rare treasure, seemingly with her own plans.
"Is there something you need?" Luo Yu took the initiative to ask.
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to enter the academy." Shui Bing'er sighed.
"You didn't come to my dorm just to say that, did you?" Luo Yu waved his hand. "The agreement we made before was just for fun, no need to take it seriously."
"Who said I wanted to be your concubine!" Shui Bing'er suddenly chided, her voice filled with a hint of coquettishness.
"Oh? Then what are you doing here?" Luo Yu blinked.
"My sister actually isn't mad at you anymore. You two can talk it out later."
"Mhm, I know." Luo Yu nodded.
"You!!" Shui Bing'er felt like the other person was making her choke on her words.
"Anything else? It's not really appropriate for a man and woman to be alone like this," Luo Yu said playfully. He felt like the girl in front of him definitely had something she was hesitating to say.
Shui Bing'er fidgeted with the corner of her clothes, looking at Luo Yu, then said, "Our school usually has large classes divided by grade or individual guidance from teachers, but there's an exception for a certain group of people."
"Oh?"
"The Advanced Soul Master Tournament is held every five years, and there's an age limit for the competition. That's why the five elemental academies select and individually train a group of talented students five years in advance, preparing them for the tournament."
"So, you're one of them, then." Luo Yu wasn't unfamiliar with the tournament. He figured their team would bump into Tang San's small group.
Bing'er nodded, her expression more serious than proud, and a burning hope shone in her eyes as she looked at Luo Yu.
"You defeated Huo Wu and her brother easily. I want to invite you to join the Skywater Team this year."
Luo Yu yawned, waved his hand, and said flatly, "No fun, I'm not going."
"Huh?" Bing'er was stunned, not expecting him to reject her outright without any interest.
"You know, many people at Skywater Academy want to join the team but can't. Joining the team not only allows you to access the academy's training resources, but you can also compete and win honor for our alma mater!"
"Come on! I just entered the academy; let's talk about a sense of honor later," Luo Yu said languidly.
Shui Bing'er recalled the scene of Luo Yu easily defeating the Fire Family siblings. Viewing the academy's honor as extremely important, she softly advised, "With your talent and ability, even if not for the academy's honor, you will definitely make a name for yourself."
Luo Yu looked directly into Shui Bing'er's gentle eyes, "I don't care for the title of genius. Do you believe me when I say I want to be a salted fish?"
Shui Bing'er opened her mouth, but in the end, sighed, unwilling to miss out on such a strong teammate as Luo Yu.
"The academy lost miserably in the last tournament. We didn't even make it to the finals in the Tiandou Empire's division, and we were almost at the bottom among the five major element academies. So, everyone this year is holding back a lot of energy, wanting to redeem themselves, and they are all working extremely hard in their cultivation."
"I... I am the captain this year, and I don't want their efforts to be in vain," Shui Bing'er clenched her fists and said firmly.
Luo Yu nodded.
A look of joy appeared on Shui Bing'er's face.
"Come on! I believe that with your efforts, you can definitely do it!" Luo Yu gave moral support by pumping them up.
"???" Bing'er was stunned. So, this guy still didn't want to participate?
Luo Yu actually admired the Skywater Team quite a bit.
If he remembered correctly, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's spirit fusion skill had given Tang San, who had consumed immortal herbs, a lesson during the Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
Now that he had taken all the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and the tournament stipulated that hidden weapons couldn't be used, the outcome of Shrek Academy's match against the Skywater Team was really up in the air.
He was even a little curious now, wondering how far Shrek Academy could go in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament without any cheats.
"Can't you have a little ambition with such great talent?" Bing'er's beautiful eyes shimmered, and she expressed her regret.
"Eating well, sleeping soundly, and then finding a caring girlfriend, isn't that ambitious?"
Bing'er pouted her red lips and asked, "What if all those wishes of yours were fulfilled?"
Luo Yu was taken aback.
Shui Bing'er stood up and walked towards the door, then suddenly turned back, her voice firm. "I will lead the team to train diligently and prepare for the competition. At the same time, I won't give up on you. I will definitely make you join the team willingly!"
Luo Yu watched her disappearing figure and shook his head.
In his previous life, he had monopolized the title of genius for too long. In this life, he wanted to be free.
Once he gained fame by participating in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, what would he do if the Martial Soul Hall extended an invitation?
If he refused outright, he'd be targeted.
If he went, the conditions offered, no matter how good, wouldn't compare to the freedom of being alone. He didn't lack resources. There were more than just the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Star Dou Great Forest, Extreme North, Sun Moon Continent, Qiankun Asking Love Valley... With strength, where couldn't he go?
In the blue double bedroom, a giant doll occupied one of the large beds. Shui Yue'er hugged a brown teddy bear, propping her cheek on her hand as she sat on the bed, her slender legs, wrapped in silk stockings, swinging idly.
"Creak."
Shui Bing'er returned, looking dejected.
"What's wrong, sister? Did Brother Yu make you angry?" Shui Yue'er jumped down from the bed, asking.
"I invited that guy to join the team, but he refused. He clearly has such amazing talent," Shui Bing'er said with a frustrated sigh.
Shui Yue'er said gently, "Sister, everyone has the right to choose the lifestyle they prefer. If Brother Yu feels happier living this way, then that's his choice, right?"
Shui Bing'er turned her head and reached out to tickle her sister under the arm. "Spill it! Whose side are you on? You're already siding with him, aren't you?"
After a moment of playful tussling, Shui Bing'er straightened her rumpled pleated skirt and said seriously, "You're right, Yue'er, but I still wish that guy would participate. His talent is probably far superior to Feng Xiaotian's."
Shui Yue'er said proudly and dismissively, "Of course!"
"Our team's strength this year is far superior to previous years," Shui Bing'er stated solemnly. "What I mean is, if Luo Yu joins us, we'll have a real chance to challenge the younger generation of the Martial Soul Hall."
Shui Yue'er's body trembled. The Martial Soul Hall?
Even Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy, despite her immense pride, never dared to speak of surpassing the younger generation of the Martial Soul Hall.
Because the people who came from there were truly terrifyingly strong, almost without any suspense, they would take every championship, as if every other team was only there to fight for second place.
"Yue'er, why don't you go ask that guy?" Shui Bing'er teased.
"No, I won't use his guilt towards me to make him do something he doesn't like," Shui Yue'er declared, her delicate nose held high.
Shui Bing'er shook her head. It's over. Her little sister was probably completely smitten.
The image of Luo Yu flashed through her mind. This guy had looks and talent, but he was just a little lazy.
Another tall, handsome figure appeared in the night, causing Shui Bing'er's small face to flush slightly.
"Right, sis, do you think it's okay that Brother Yu's mentor is Teacher Su?" Shui Yue'er asked with some worry.
Shui Bing'er shivered, "Teacher Su probably wouldn't treat male students like that..."
"No way!" I have to go tell Brother Yu to be careful, Shui Yue'er said, already starting to run out with her silk stocking-clad legs.
"Put your shoes on!!!" Shui Bing'er slapped her forehead and helplessly shouted.
Luo Yu: I protected China for half my life, can't I enjoy myself a little?!
Author: No! You can't!! Douluo Continent needs you! The girls of Douluo Continent need you too!
Luo Yu: I can work... but burn me some recommendation tickets at the crossroads in the middle of the night...
