The four female team members exchanged glances and quickly retreated several steps, looking worriedly at the rapidly changing storm clouds overhead.
"Are the Captain and Vice Captain being too ruthless? They actually used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Yeah… what if they end up injuring our junior brother?"
"Pfft, your junior brother? As if. But seriously, with those two using their trump card, he really doesn't stand much of a chance."
"No way—you don't actually think a Martial Soul Fusion Skill will definitely work, do you?" Mo Mo blinked her beautiful eyes seriously.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Bing Xue Piao Ling!"
In the center of the storm, Luo Yu looked up as the rain changed—ice-cold droplets turning into dancing snowflakes. But each flake gleamed like a blade, slicing through the air as they spun downward, forming a howling vortex of ice and snow that swept toward him.
"If you can't hold out, say so! We'll stop immediately!" a clear voice shouted from afar.
Bing Xue Piao Ling… Xue Wu Long Juan, huh?
Even surrounded by the bone-chilling killing intent, Luo Yu didn't panic. Instead, a calm, faint smile spread across his face.
"Luo Yu! Don't underestimate them!" Mo Mo shouted anxiously. "The Captain and Vice Captain's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is nearly as powerful as a full-force attack from a Soul Sect!"
The other three teammates ignored her defection completely.
Countless snowflakes sliced through the air. Wisps of steam rose as the golden flames surrounding Luo Yu flickered wildly, burning away at high speed. Once the fire vanished, all that would remain to greet him were the ice blades ready to flay his flesh.
"Luo Yu! What are you standing there for? Just admit defeat already!" one of the girls yelled urgently. "Even if you lose, we'll still think you're amazing!"
"Hey!" Luo Yu suddenly called out.
The worried girls relaxed slightly, thinking he was about to concede.
But Luo Yu simply pointed up toward the stormy sky. "If I break this Martial Soul Skill… the two of them won't be hurt, right?"
"Holy crap—" one girl gasped, her cherry lips parting in shock.
From within the dazzling blue light of the storm, Xue Wu's confident voice rang out:"Junior brother, you're pretty arrogant! If you can break our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, big sister will personally warm your bed tonight!"
Luo Yu shook his head. "No need for that."
Beneath the phantom of a golden sun that hovered over him, a white jade-colored soul ring silently appeared.
"A white—ten-year soul ring?!"
"How the hell does he have a ten-year soul ring?!"
"What are the teachers thinking?! Are they trying to ruin such a talented guy by attaching a ten-year ring to him?!"
Exclamations of disbelief and pity erupted from the watching girls.
Under Luo Yu's control, the white jade soul ring transformed instantly, its surface covered in intricate golden lines. The moment it shone, a massive flaming spider materialized before him.
"First Soul Skill—Chi Huo Fen Tian Zhu!"
The gigantic divine spider was composed entirely of surging golden flames. Every pattern on its body was visible in exquisite detail. What once seemed a hideous beast now radiated sheer might and majesty, awe-inspiring and unstoppable.
Luo Yu's black hair fluttered wildly as he slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the heavens.
"Go."
The word left his lips like divine decree. The blazing spider shot upward, carrying explosive power as it roared into the dark clouds that blotted out the sky.
For an instant, time froze. Nothing happened.
Then—countless golden rays pierced through the clouds, followed by a thunderous explosion. Fire surged from within, devouring everything. The storm clouds were blasted apart and vanished instantly.
Above Luo Yu's head, the sky cleared. Bright daylight returned. Rain, formed from melting snow, began to fall gently again.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu both let out muffled groans as their light faded, revealing their slender, exhausted figures.
Shui Bing'er's face was pale, filled with shock. Xue Wu was panting heavily from the strain, her proud curves trembling with each breath, and her beautiful eyes shimmered with astonishment.
The four girls watching were utterly dumbfounded, their mouths hanging open.One man had fought the entire team—then casually shattered a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Could anything be more outrageous?
Retracting his Martial Soul, Luo Yu's aura calmed. He walked forward and said apologetically, "I was a bit rough just now. My apologies."
"It's fine! Totally fine!" The girls shook their heads like little pecking chicks, their eyes practically sparkling as they looked at him with admiration.
Xue Wu chuckled. "Junior brother, from now on, I'm following you! You tell me to head east, I'll never go west. You tell me to steal chickens, I won't touch a dog!"
"Uh…" Luo Yu blinked, not sure how to respond.
Beside her, Shui Bing'er stood frozen in disbelief. She truly hadn't expected Luo Yu to be so proficient in team battles—nothing like the reckless lone wolf she'd imagined.
Originally, this sparring match was meant to show him the importance of teamwork—after all, he'd eventually have to fit into a team for future tournaments.
But what happened?
Even with six versus one—and using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill—they'd been utterly crushed.It was terrifying. This man might actually be capable of rivaling the monstrous geniuses of Spirit Hall.
The girls crowded around Luo Yu, admiration blazing in their eyes. Those who already liked him were now completely smitten. Handsome looks were one thing, but combined with overwhelming strength? That was an unbeatable combination.
After chatting for a while, Luo Yu learned their names and personalities. The Captain and Vice Captain were Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu; the fashionable, cool one was Yina.
Ke Han, Martial Soul: Ice Shark.Ming Mei, Martial Soul: Swift Demon Shark.Mo Xue, Martial Soul: Explosive Ice Ring.
Except for Shui Bing'er, all the other girls were commoners. Tianshui Academy had given them the chance to study and grow stronger.
Luo Yu mused silently—indeed, the other four elemental academies were rather elitist, their noble bias far too strong, leaving little opportunity for commoners. In that sense, Spirit Hall's talent recruitment was much fairer.
"Strange," Shui Bing'er said thoughtfully, "why isn't Yue'er here yet?"
"She shouldn't be late. That little girl's playful, but she's never skipped practice," Xue Wu added, puzzled.
Luo Yu frowned and looked toward the forest—just in time to see a figure darting out. It was Shui Yue'er.
"Brother Yu? You're here too?" Shui Yue'er said curiously, her pretty face lighting up as if she'd stumbled upon something amusing.
"Explain why you're late first!" Shui Bing'er scolded lightly.
"The Academy seems to have an important guest! Even the Headmaster—who hasn't shown himself in years—personally went to receive them!" Shui Yue'er said breathlessly, clearly having run all the way there.
"The Headmaster went to receive someone?" Luo Yu murmured, intrigued. He knew just how powerful that old man was.
Shui Yue'er recalled, "I heard the teachers say… it's someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? One of the Upper Three Sects?!" The girls all turned toward her in unison, eyes wide.
"Bing'er, let's go take a look! We can practice later!" Xue Wu said excitedly.
Shui Bing'er smiled. "Alright, you girls go ahead. I'll stay here and continue training. Come back later."
"Oh, come on! It won't take long!" Xue Wu grabbed her by the arm, and the group hurried off toward the front courtyard, curiosity burning in their eyes.
Luo Yu followed behind, frowning slightly.Don't tell me this is someone coming through the backdoor…
Would the Headmaster be able to hold his bottom line?
