Chapter 53

After returning from the frozen forest, Shen Hanyu's life remained peaceful and comfortable.

After Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er returned, they acted as if nothing had happened and did not tell Shui Ningbing what had happened during that time. Shen Hanyu did not care much about the process, but he was still very satisfied with the result.

The other person is someone who can distinguish between what's important and what's not, which Shen Hanyu praised. At least they're still thinking clearly, which is much more rational than most people in the Love Continent.

As for their daily lives, they continued as before, occasionally visiting Shen Hanyu's place with Shen Liuyu, and sometimes even staying overnight.

After all, it's such a big house, so there are plenty of rooms, more than enough for each person.

Shui Ningbing also helplessly discovered that her two precious nieces were already showing signs of being courted, but Shen Hanyu's excellence was undeniable, so she couldn't say anything. She had a good impression of Shen Hanyu and could only sigh every day as she looked at her desk piled high with documents.

She is really busy, especially lately, not only handling all the school's affairs, but also preparing for this Soul Master Competition.

The Soul Master Tournament during the first Douluo Continent era was held every five years, so there are at most two years until this Soul Master Tournament.

Over the next two years, she will do her best to train this year's Tianshui team and strive for a good result in the competition two years later, which will be of great benefit to the academy.

If successful, the academy will not only gain a better reputation and secure more funding, but may also attract other talented individuals who come seeking its expertise.

After all, Tianshui College has very strict admission standards, and the number of students it receives next year is limited, and sometimes it may even show a downward trend.

Naturally, Shui Bing'er and the other girls, who had already been selected as members of the next Tianshui team, also faced considerable pressure.

However, this can be a good thing. Sometimes, you don't realize how high your potential is until you're under some pressure. Of course, if you find that your lower limit is gradually decreasing, then you need to reflect on your problems.

The Tianshui team still consists of seven members: three offensive, two control, one agile, and one support-type Soul Master.

They will be between eighteen and twenty-five years old in two years, and their cultivation level will likely be above level thirty-five Soul Master, making them quite powerful.

As for how many Soul Masters will emerge at that time, no one can say for sure.

Shen Hanyu had also learned a little about this matter, but he felt that with just those few girls, it would be difficult to even make it to the finals, let alone defeat the Spirit Hall team, which had been invincible for thousands of years.

Even setting aside the Spirit Hall team, the Royal Fighting team and the Star Luo team, who have been vying for the second place, are both veteran powerhouses, backed by a massive empire, and their strength is not weak at all.

As for whether the Four Elements team made it to the finals and won, yes, they did. Over the thousands of years, there have been countless major competitions, and there have always been a few unexpected events that no one can predict.

…………

Let's talk about Shen Liuyu. Under Shen Hanyu's repeated forced "enhancement," her talent is now no less than that of a Soul Master with innate full Soul Power. In addition, after Shen Hanyu settled in Element City, her temperament became more restrained, and she put more and more effort into cultivation, so her strength naturally improved faster.

After absorbing the third soul ring, her soul power reached level 32. In about a year, she could break through to level 35. When she absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, a divine plant, not only would her martial soul undergo another major transformation, but her soul power would also likely break through to the Soul Master level. The time and energy saved could be used for other things, which was a good thing overall.

As the biggest bug-level existence in this world so far, the Immortal Herb is enough to change a large part of history and even affect the development of the entire plot.

However, the immortal herbs no longer hold much value for Shen Hanyu. His strength is gradually increasing, and his ambition is also growing. Now, only a few things can tempt him, such as the second martial soul he is about to obtain.

Shen Hanyu had pondered this second martial soul for a long time, and Tianmeng had also done a lot of research on it.

Originally, the idea was to make Ice Emperor Shen Hanyu's second martial soul, but Shen Hanyu needed a powerful martial soul that could simultaneously bear the power of ice and fire, so Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion was naturally not suitable.

But this doesn't change his idea of ​​making both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress his Wisdom Soul Rings. Why would he leave such top-tier Soul Rings to a god ten thousand years from now who is incredibly glorious but willingly becomes a dog?

There was also the Silver Emperor Sky Falcon, which Tianmeng and Shen Hanyu had both considered, but ultimately ruled out.

The specific reason is probably that the Silver Emperor Falcon has a strong ice attribute and also some light attributes, but if it were to become a martial soul, it would still fall short of expectations.

Shen Hanyu had examined many soul beasts and, after much thought, finally came up with an idea. Although it was somewhat risky, if he succeeded, he would take another big step closer to becoming a god, so it was definitely worth a try.

However, he still has plenty of time to think of other methods before that.

The reason humans make choices is to choose the option that best serves their interests, while also taking into account security, so that they can be worry-free.

…………

During this period, Shen Hanyu met Shui Ningbing twice more.

One time, she came to express her gratitude to Shen Hanyu for taking Shui Bing'er and Shen Liuyu to hunt for spirit rings; the other time, she simply came to Shen Hanyu's place to slack off.

Looking at the beautiful woman comfortably reclining in the courtyard, enjoying the fruit that Shen Liuyu usually ate, Shen Hanyu sighed helplessly. This place had become the domain of these women, and his presence as the owner was becoming less and less noticeable.

However, since there was nothing he could do about it, he didn't say much to these people out of consideration for their feelings. In any case, it wouldn't affect his normal life, so he simply ignored it.

Moreover, with these girls here, his daily life has become much more convenient. Shen Liuyu and Shui Yue'er take care of his clothes and hygiene, while Shui Bing'er handles the cooking. He only needs to focus on his daily cultivation and meditation, and occasionally chat with the girls.

Shui Ningbing then had the opportunity to properly observe Shen Hanyu's usual conduct and interpersonal relationships, and she was quite satisfied with him.

Although this kid doesn't seem like a good person in some ways, he's ultimately loyal and righteous, not the kind of person who would betray you easily. He's the kind of person you can become close to if you have the guts and the means, and what you give will always bring you a return that is relatively or even more valuable...
