Chapter 183: Yu Tianxin Ran to Blue Tyrant Academy
The matter of Thunder Academy's tournament roster was settled.
Aside from Yu Tianlin, all other team members would still be recruited. Yu Tianlin would personally handle the teams that had Spirit Ancestor, while the other participants would be responsible for dealing with teams that did not.
It was worth mentioning that after being defeated by Yu Tianlin, Yu Tianxin did not sign up. Instead, he chose to withdraw from the academy.
This was a matter of pride. Yu Tianxin had always regarded Yu Tianheng as a rival, yet now he could not even beat his rival's younger brother. To him, that was completely unacceptable.
More importantly, Thunder Academy would select a captain for the team. With the strength Yu Tianlin had shown, he would unquestionably become the captain. If Yu Tianxin still joined the team, he would have to acknowledge his cousin as captain and follow his commands. How could he possibly accept that?
In the end, Yu Tianxin not only refused to register for the next selection, he even chose to leave Thunder Academy. However, according to Yu Tianlin, his cousin clearly had no intention of giving up. After withdrawing, Yu Tianxin went straight to Blue Tyrant Academy to find Aunt Liu Erlong, seemingly hoping to use Blue Tyrant Academy's quota to participate in the tournament.
When Yu Tianlin first heard the news, he was so shocked he almost spat out his water. But after thinking about it, it matched Yu Tianxin's personality perfectly.
Yu Tianxin was the type who refused to admit defeat. Yu Tianlin had only beaten him once, so he definitely would not accept it. On top of that, Yu Tianxin was currently at level 39 and would soon break into the Spirit Ancestor realm. He must have believed that once he reached level 40, his strength would undergo a qualitative change, letting him catch up again. Yu Tianlin estimated that his cousin was determined to defeat him during the tournament.
Yu Tianlin did not comment on Yu Tianxin's desire to beat him. Still, he had not expected Yu Tianxin to actually go to Blue Tyrant Academy.
Yu Tianlin knew the Shrek Seven Devils would also be heading to Blue Tyrant Academy soon. If those two sides ended up on the same team, the tournament would become far more interesting.
Without the help of the immortal herbs, by the time the tournament arrived, only Dai Mubai among the Shrek Seven Devils would be able to steadily break through to the Spirit Ancestor realm. Xiao Wu would push herself to cultivate, but she would only barely reach the Spirit Ancestor realm in the late stage of the tournament. As for Tang San, if he found a way to take a shortcut, he might have a chance to reach the Spirit Ancestor realm as well.
That meant 3 Spirit Ancestor would be the limit for the Shrek Seven Devils. But if Yu Tianxin, a Spirit Ancestor, joined them, it would be like gaining a powerful teammate out of nowhere. Their overall strength would rise by another level, making them comparable to the 5 major academies. At that point, they would truly become a team worth watching.
Aside from Yu Tianxin transferring out, the other students still chose to register for the tournament selection. Soon, the final roster was officially confirmed.
Yu Tianlin glanced at the list and found it quite good. Aside from Yu Tianxin, the 3 Spirit Ancestor who represented Thunder Academy in the original timeline were all present.
Of course, they would only reach the Spirit Ancestor realm during the tournament. Right now, they were still advanced Spirit Elders.
The information for the 3 was as follows:
Lei Quan, level 38, agility type attacker. Martial Soul: Thunder Fang Blade.
Lei Tian, level 38, offensive type. Martial Soul: Thunder Eagle.
Lei Dong, level 39, control system. Martial Soul: Thunder Spider.
With these 3 reaching Spirit Ancestor during the tournament, sweeping the weaker teams that lacked Spirit Ancestor should not be a problem. That way, Yu Tianlin would not have to waste time fighting those weaker opponents.
With the roster finalized, the next step was teamwork training. They needed to polish their coordination, otherwise they would fall apart and be exploited.
However, this meant little for Yu Tianlin. When it was his turn to fight, he would be going alone and would not need to coordinate with anyone. So he might as well use that time to cultivate.
Thus, while his teammates trained together, Yu Tianlin immersed himself in cultivation, occasionally drawing lightning to increase the age of his 1st Spirit Ring. Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Two weeks later, Lei Bao suddenly summoned all the selected participants and announced something.
"I called you here today because there's something I need to tell you," Lei Bao said.
"The annual Five Elements Academy Exchange and Friendship Meeting is about to begin again. This time, it isn't being hosted by Thunder Academy, so we can't bring too many people. But as participants of the upcoming Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, you will all be going."
"Once you get there, you should know what to do," Lei Bao continued. "Reveal what should be revealed, and conceal what should be concealed. You're not children anymore. I don't need to teach you how to handle this, do I?"
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Yu Tianlin had been away from the academy for a long time and had forgotten the hosting order for these exchanges. So he asked, "Dean Lei, which academy is hosting this Five Elements Academy exchange?"
With outsiders present, Yu Tianlin did not call him "uncle," and instead addressed him formally as "Dean."
"It's Skywater Academy!" Lei Tian answered before Lei Bao could even speak. His eyes were shining. "This year's exchange is hosted by Skywater Academy."
So it was Skywater Academy.
Yu Tianlin immediately understood why the students around him looked a little strange. One by one, they were visibly energized and excited.
Skywater Academy was full of girls, and every single one of them was beautiful. It made the single guys from the other 4 academies unbearably jealous. But Skywater Academy usually did not allow men to enter, so those single guys could only stare longingly from afar. They could only see Skywater Academy's girls during exchange events, and especially when Skywater Academy hosted, since everyone finally had a chance to enter the campus and take a look.
No wonder everyone was so excited about this rare opportunity.
However, the mention of Skywater Academy made Yu Tianlin slightly absent minded, because he thought of someone, Shui Bing'er.
Yu Tianlin still remembered that when he first met Shui Bing'er, he was only 8, while she was 10. In the blink of an eye, nearly 5 years had passed. He was almost 13 now, and Shui Bing'er was probably 15.
"I remember we promised to visit each other whenever we had time, but I've been busy ever since and never went to see her. I don't even know if she ever came to find me."
Yu Tianlin scratched his head.
If Shui Bing'er really had gone to Thunder Academy looking for him, then she must have made a wasted trip, or maybe many wasted trips, since he rarely stayed at the academy.
"It probably isn't that bad," Yu Tianlin thought. "We haven't seen each other in so long. She might have already forgotten me."
