N-A-A Chapter 11 Tianshui's First Male Student
Chapter 11 Tianshui's First Male Student
On a summer night, a gentle breeze brings coolness to the outside!
Gu Yuena's figure was outlined as a cool and aloof silhouette by the window.
A gentle summer breeze blew in, stirring her long, moon-like silver hair that reached her waist, the strands swaying silently on her shoulders and cheeks.
She simply sat quietly on the windowsill, gazing at the deep night outside, her whole being enveloped in tranquility.
Yang Teng leaned against the bedpost in the room, arms crossed, and stared at it for a long time.
The moonlight outside the window intertwined with the soft indoor lighting, casting a hazy glow on Gu Yuena's profile, conveying a sense of beauty and loneliness.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yuena suddenly turned her head slightly, her silver eyes turning to him, reflecting the lamplight, calm and undisturbed.
"Have you seen enough?!"
Her clear, crisp voice broke the silence of the room.
Yang Teng grinned, lowered his arm, and lazily walked to the table to pour himself a glass of water.
"I can't get enough of you, Xiaona. You're so beautiful, I can never get tired of looking at you."
"I don't know how many millions of years I've lived, you..."
Gu Yuena stopped speaking.
She turned back to look out the window and spoke in a calm tone.
"Your strength is indeed very strong."
Gu Yuena coldly praised.
"Even under the suppression of this plane and with that seal still in his body, he can still use the power of a Soul Master to directly confront two Soul Masters who cooperate perfectly, and even break their Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
Yang Teng took a sip of water, his smile carrying a hint of nonchalant roguishness.
"This is nothing. Once I gain the recognition of the plane to a certain extent, and I break through to the god level, I'll show you what true strength is."
Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, her voice devoid of any discernible emotion.
"Now, I'm actually starting to believe that you might have the ability to realize that idea of making soul beasts become gods."
Yang Teng's eyes lit up. He put down his water glass and moved closer.
"That's right! Xiao Na, you have to have faith in me. I mean what I say. I'll make sure everything is clear and proper for you and for Di Tian and the others. Godhood? We'll do it wholesale!"
Gu Yuena seemed uncomfortable with being called "Xiao Na" and glared at Yang Teng.
He then slowly shook his head, his silver hair swaying in the breeze.
"No, rather than saying I believe you,"
Her cool eyes stared directly at Yang Teng, carrying a complex emotion that was hard to describe.
"Rather, I believe in your bloodline, in your father. The Lord of the Divine Star is an existence that even the God King has to look up to. For your father, making what you say a reality is probably just a drop in the ocean."
Yang Teng's smile froze for a moment, then relaxed again, but a hint of helplessness flashed deep in his eyes.
He understood. Gu Yuena's meaning was clear: she acknowledged his potential, but this acknowledgment was largely based on the fact that he had an incredibly powerful father.
In her view, all the amazing things he is showing now stem from his unapproachable bloodline, and he himself may just be a "noble young master" who has inherited the legacy of his father.
"Tsk!"
Yang Teng smacked his lips, leaned back against the bedpost, and resumed his lazy tone.
"Think what you want. Dad is amazing, I never deny that. He's a mountain, very tall, and I'm still climbing at the foot of it."
He shrugged. "There's plenty of time. Time will tell."
Yang Teng was too lazy to explain; some things, the more you say, the more you lose credibility.
Just as a subtle silence fell over the room, a knock sounded on the door.
"Yang Teng, Gu Yuena, this is me, Shui Yunxia."
The dean's gentle yet slightly formal voice came from outside the door.
Gu Yuena got up, walked lightly to the door, and opened it.
Shui Yunxia stood outside the door and nodded to her. Gu Yuena also nodded slightly in response, then stepped aside and walked straight out, leaving the space to Shui Yunxia and Yang Teng.
She was quick-witted and naturally understood that Shui Yunxia's special visit so late was not just to inquire about Yang Teng's situation, but must have something important to discuss.
Shui Yunxia entered the room and gently closed the door behind her.
She first looked at Yang Teng and saw that his complexion was rosy and his breathing was steady. He was no longer the pale and exhausted man he had been after the battle that afternoon. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes again. Gu Yuena's seemingly simple treatment had an unbelievable effect.
"Looks like you're recovering well."
Shui Yunxia walked to the table, pulled up a chair and sat down, her tone filled with concern.
"The battle this afternoon was extremely taxing. If you feel unwell, the academy has the best healing-type Soul Masters."
"Thank you for your concern, Dean. With Xiao Na here, she's more effective than any healing-type Soul Master."
Yang Teng sat down on the edge of the bed with a grin. "The dean came so late, he probably didn't come just to comfort me, did he? Please tell me what's on your mind."
Shui Yunxia composed herself, her smile fading and her expression turning serious.
"Yang Teng, now that you have defeated Bing'er and Xue Wu, according to the agreement, you will be a special student of our Tianshui Academy."
Shui Yunxia confirmed this first, then changed the subject.
"However, the academy is currently facing a thorny issue that requires your and Gu Yuena's strength."
Yang Teng's eyes were fixed on Shui Yunxia, and he looked extremely serious.
Shui Yunxia felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"Our Tianshui Academy is located within the territory of the Kingdom of Barak, and in the capital, there is another academy called Barak Academy."
Shui Yunxia's tone was slightly somber.
"This academy has a powerful background, with direct support from royal princes. For many years, they have been trying to annex my Tianshui Academy, bringing my unique ice and water attribute teaching system and outstanding students into their territory."
"In the past, they were mindful of their reputation and the rules of the academy world, so their actions were not too excessive. But now, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin, less than a month away."
"Barak Academy probably felt the time was pressing, and its desire to annex became increasingly urgent, and its methods began to become more forceful."
A hint of anger and helplessness appeared on Shui Yunxia's beautiful face.
"Under the guise of integrating the kingdom's soul master education resources and concentrating efforts to prepare for the competition, they have repeatedly exerted pressure. Just this afternoon, shortly after your competition, people from Barak Academy came to our door again and proposed a solution."
She looked at Yang Teng and said, word by word.
"They demanded a seven-on-seven team battle against our Tianshui Academy. If we lost, we would have to voluntarily merge into Barak Academy and become one of its subordinate colleges."
The air in the room seemed to grow a little heavier.
"Actually, I had thought about it before and hesitated about whether to agree."
Shui Yunxia frankly admitted, "In the world of Soul Masters, strength reigns supreme, and Tianshui isn't very confident!"
Her gaze sharpened as she stared intently at Yang Teng.
"But things are different now. We have Gu Yuena and you."
"Gu Yuena is a Soul King, and her true combat strength probably far surpasses that of an ordinary Soul King, while you..."
Shui Yunxia paused.
"With my Soul Master status, I can directly defeat Bing'er and Xue Wu's Soul Fusion Skill. I am now at least 100% confident that I can win this team battle that concerns the survival of the academy!"
Yang Teng listened quietly, then asked, "Dean, according to what you just said, does that mean I'm officially a member of Tianshui Academy? Are all the formalities completed?"
Shui Yunxia was taken aback, not expecting him to ask that, and then nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, rules are rules, but people are flexible. You and Gu Yuena are...geniuses that our Tianshui Academy would love to have."
Upon receiving a definite answer, Yang Teng smiled with satisfaction.
"Since the dean thinks so highly of me and acknowledges that I am already a member of the academy."
Yang Teng's voice was clear and powerful.
"Then, regarding matters concerning the honor and survival of Tianshui Academy, I, Yang Teng, will certainly do my utmost."
A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Barak Academy? They want to swallow us up? Then let them see what it means to kick a hornet's nest on the team battle stage!"
Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Yang Teng's eyes, Shui Yunxia stood up, extended her hand, and said solemnly.
"Alright! Tianshui Academy welcomes its first male student."
Yang Teng also reached out and shook her hand firmly.
"Don't worry, Dean."
He laughed, his tone relaxed yet brimming with confidence.
"With Xiaona and me here, we'll make sure they crawl back home clutching their butts!"
