Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

These carriages are decorated with various light blue or white-blue ornaments and are engraved with teardrop-shaped emblems.

It's risky; this is a team from Tianshui Academy. This convoy of carriages consists of Tianshui students returning from Elephant Armor Academy after completing their exchange with the Five Elements Academy.

The students and girls at Tianshui Academy are all beautiful and elegant, and their carriages are naturally exquisite as well. The interior decorations of the carriages are mostly white or blue, and the decorations are not particularly luxurious, but rather pretty and cute.

Perhaps because there were so many beautiful girls, the carriage had a faint fragrance, which was definitely a treat for some people.

At this moment, in a carriage in the middle of the carriage procession, several beautiful girls in light blue school uniforms were talking quietly. They would occasionally look up and glance at the center of the carriage. In the carriage full of girls, there was a young man with fiery red hair. What was going on?

The red-haired youth sitting in the middle of the carriage was meditating and cultivating with his eyes closed. He exuded an extremely strong fire attribute aura, which made him seem quite out of place among the girls in the carriage.

But none of the girls who were secretly watching the young man felt any aversion to the fire elemental aura. Instead, they were all whispering about how to attract his attention and discussing the situation of this Holy Prince.

"Brother Holy Son, this is the famous Crystal Lake outside our Tianshui Academy. We'll be at Tianshui Academy in a little while." A pretty young girl was peeking out of the carriage window, looking at the scenery. Seeing the familiar sights, she turned around happily and told the red-haired man who was resting with his eyes closed.

Yan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes after hearing the call. It was as if a blazing light flashed across the entire carriage, like a fleeting glimmer of light in the darkness, making it feel very unreal.

The red-haired youth who mingled into the carriage of the Tianshui Academy's beautiful girls was none other than Yan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who had also participated in the Five Elements Friendship Event held by the Elephant Armor Academy.

After meeting Shenfeng and Chihuo during the social event, he then contacted Tianshui Academy. In order to have a better advantage when facing the water attribute soul masters of Seagod Island, he planned to train at Tianshui Academy for a period of time.

In this situation, it was naturally impossible to bring more people along. Therefore, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling could only be sent back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by him first.

This time, he hitched a ride back to Tianshui Academy with the help of the girls' team. Being able to sit and chat with a group of pretty girls should be a great thing, but it depends on the circumstances.

The main problem is that the girls at Tianshui Academy are too enthusiastic, and His Highness doesn't dare to flirt with them casually in order to maintain a good image and persona.

After all, the space in the carriage is so small, it's impossible to keep secrets. He can wait until he arrives at Tianshui Academy, then he can find some opportunities to get to know these girls better.

As Yan thought this to himself, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the open car window. Outside, a shimmering lake could be vaguely seen, resembling transparent crystal. This was probably why it was called Crystal Lake.

Yan's gaze shifted slightly from the scenery and landed on the pretty young woman who was drawing back the curtains for him. 'A beauty rolls up the beaded curtain, her heart filled with thoughts of her beloved.'

Although it's unclear to what extent this pretty girl likes him, one thing is certain: she does have feelings for him, which means there's an opportunity.

"Bing'er, don't tire yourself out. When we get to Tianshui Academy, your Holy Son brother will need you as his guide." Yan chuckled and gently pinched the delicate nose of the pretty girl in front of him. This intimate gesture did not elicit any displeasure; instead, the girl showed a slight shyness, clearly indicating that the chances of successfully winning her over were very high.

Yan's confidence swelled even more, and his scrutinizing gaze towards the young beauty became even bolder. The blue-haired beauty before him was none other than Shui Bing'er, the future captain of the Tianshui team, possessing the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.

Shui Bing'er has a head of bright blue hair. On Yan's smiling face, a strand of blue hair sticks up slightly on her forehead, making her look even more playful and cute.

Her delicate nose and cherry-red lips were as soft as flower petals, and a sweet smile always played at the corners of her mouth. Light and gentle, pure as a clear sky, without a single flaw.

She was only eleven years old, with skin as white as snow, incomparably delicate, as considerate as a flower that understands words, as outstanding as the silver moon in the sky, and as noble as an ice phoenix in human form.

"Ah." Just as Yan was stroking Shui Bing'er's jade-like face, experiencing the feel of her skin as white as jade, the carriage suddenly jolted, and Shui Bing'er stumbled and fell. Yan quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you alright?" Yan asked with concern, looking down, not wanting to miss any opportunity to gain favor.

"Brother Holy Son, I'm alright." Shui Bing'er looked up at Yan's face, her eyes seemingly shining with some kind of light.

"We've arrived at the academy." Yan had just helped Shui Bing'er sit down when the carriage gradually slowed down. Other voices reached Yan's ears, and finally the carriage came to a stop. Yan then stepped out of the carriage along with the group of beauties inside.

Yan's first impression of Tianshui College was that it was beautiful, extremely beautiful, and then two sentences immediately came to mind.

A hundred flowers bloom, a butterfly dances gracefully. A multitude of beauties converse with a single gentleman. As a renowned advanced soul master academy on the Douluo Continent, Tianshui Academy has strict, rigid admission standards. It doesn't consider your background or origins, focusing only on two things: first, whether you are a water-attribute soul master; second, whether you are a beautiful woman.

That's right, this is a school that specializes in recruiting beautiful girls. You can question the school's strength, but you have to admit that they are all incredibly beautiful. It's not just one or two girls, but the entire school is full of stunning beauties.

Now, what is presented to the holy son is a rare scene of an all-girls school. There are many figures inside and outside the academy, most of them wearing flowing dresses and looking beautiful.

Cute lolis, beautiful young girls, gentle young women, and hot mature women—in just a moment, Yan spotted at least four different types of high-quality beauties of varying ages and temperaments. It was practically a paradise.

And more importantly, it seems he was the only man present. So, at this moment, this place was his own personal paradise.

Yan subconsciously looked towards the academy's gatehouse. In this academy, this place, like the female dormitory gatekeeper, must be every man's dream.

Yan now has an impulse to discuss with the higher-ups at Tianshui College whether he can become a visiting high school student or a doorman/guard for the girls' dormitory.

He didn't do it for any other reason than to make some contribution to Tianshui Academy. After all, he would be staying at Tianshui Academy for quite some time, and he would feel bad if he didn't contribute anything.

As Yan thought this in his heart, his mind couldn't help but wander to the three hundred stories that Tianshui Academy's school beauty and gatekeeper Yan had to tell about high school student A Yan's poor academic performance.

Beside Yan, Shui Bing'er looked at his strange smile and wondered, "What is Holy Son Brother thinking? Why is he always smiling?"

"Ahem, Bing'er." Yan noticed Shui Bing'er's gaze, coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and then said expectantly, "Um, have the teachers at the academy discussed where I'll be staying for a while? Or, I could just make do with the gatekeeper's room for a bit." Yan unconsciously blurted out some of his true thoughts, like the gatekeeper, Uncle Yan, or the dormitory supervisor. He promised he was just thinking about it; if it were really possible, he would be even happier.

Putting aside everything else, perhaps I could go to the dorm of these pretty young ladies on the carriage, teach them how to dress and fold blankets, and 'sit' with them all night to watch the sunrise together.

Shui Bing'er, fearing Yan might overthink things, quickly said, "Brother Saint, who told you this? This is definitely slander. How could our Tianshui Academy be so impolite? Of course, a distinguished guest like you would be given a private courtyard. Don't worry." Yan: What happened to the female dormitory manager?

Shui Bing'er's words disappointed a certain holy son. He actually wanted to say that he didn't mind the size of the house, but mainly wanted to experience the atmosphere of the dormitory. Being a security guard or gatekeeper like Uncle Yan would be nice too.

Or you could be a transfer student, young Ayan. He's not that old to begin with; fifteen is considered very young at Tianshui Academy. You have to understand that Tianshui's entrance standard is a two-ring Great Soul Master, and not everyone is a genius like Yan. Most people need to be at least fifteen or sixteen to reach the Great Soul Master level.

Yan was still daydreaming about being a transfer student. He had only recently entered Tianshui Academy with Shui Bing'er and the others when he received some bad news: the transfer student was nowhere to be found, and he might even become a teacher at Tianshui Academy, or a temporary external teacher.

Tianshui College is a college that pays attention to rules. The college stipulates that it only admits women, whether they are students or teachers.

Yan should never have been able to get in, but rules are meant to restrain ordinary people, and are often the easiest to break for the strong or those with powerful backgrounds.

Yan's background is deep enough; he's the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and very few people dare to disrespect him. Tianshui Academy, for one, definitely wouldn't dare. Most spirit master factions don't have Title Douluos, and even if they do, they can't defeat the Spirit Hall, so they have no choice but to compromise.

Yan is so young, yet he's hailed as a prodigy, and he still has time to update his blog. While this doesn't comply with school rules, well, what are school rules anyway?

Can you eat this? In the Douluo Continent, only strength matters. Without strength and background, it will be extremely difficult for you to make it, let alone reach the pinnacle of the continent.

Chapter 240 Cultivation to Confront the Great Waves

Three days later, at the back mountain of Tianshui Academy, Yan Yao gazed at the distant snow-capped mountain, his eyes sparkling with a unique brilliance.

Yan spent three leisurely days at Tianshui Academy, and he certainly enjoyed a very comfortable time during those three days.

Although there isn't any storyline involving a male student named Yan from a girls' high school, being surrounded by a group of enthusiastic beauties is still quite nice.

Over the past three days, he has gained a clearer understanding of Tianshui Academy. The academy's president and vice-president are both Soul Saint level experts; although their numbers are somewhat small, they are not the only ones.

According to the information Yan obtained by getting information out of a few pretty girls, it is said that there are several Soul Saints and even Soul Douluos in the secluded cultivation place of their sect in the back mountain. They occasionally come to the academy to give lectures. Yan once met a woman who looked like a thirty-year-old woman, but was actually an old lady over fifty years old.

Below the deans are teachers at the Soul Emperor, Soul King, and Soul Sect levels. In terms of teaching staff, they are not particularly outstanding among the advanced academies in the entire Douluo Continent, but they are all beautiful women, and the students they teach are also beautiful women, which is pleasing to the eye.

Tianshui Academy has a total of 300 students in its junior and senior classes combined, which is about one-third fewer than a typical advanced soul master academy. This is because their standards are stricter and there are no male students.

The infrastructure within Tianshui Academy is also quite comprehensive. It boasts training grounds, a swimming pool, dance studios, and music rooms. After all, many of Tianshui Academy's past students are talented young women who can sing and dance, and every time a team is deployed, countless fans come to greet them.

Of all these facilities, Yan's favorites are the swimming pool and the dance hall. And that exquisitely designed front end, those big, white headlights, the streamlined body and rear... well, those who know, know. Men, isn't that what they like?

After this general information about the personnel, what Yan was truly concerned about was the simulated training ground, which was essential for advanced soul master academies, as well as the environment and venues to assist advanced ice and water attribute soul masters in their training. These were the key factors for Yan's arrival at Tianshui Academy.

He planned to go to Seagod Island in the West Sea. There were too many water-attribute soul masters in the coastal area. Although with the quality of his current fire-attribute soul power, he would not be restrained by ordinary ice and water-attribute soul masters, that place was Seagod Island, and he could not be judged by common sense.

Tianshui Academy was the place Yan knew of with the most advanced research on ice and water attributes within the continent. So he came here, intending to use their special training environment to improve his resistance to ice and water, integrate his own advantages, and cultivate a key flame.

During the three days Yan wandered around Tianshui Academy, although he spent most of his time in the swimming pool and dance hall learning dance and swimming skills from the girls, he still managed to explore most of the academy.

The back mountain of the academy was the place he had his eye on. After all, he had been relaxing for three days, and it was time to start cultivating, right?

"Brother Holy Son".

As Yan was thinking this, a lively voice came from behind, and a pair of flawless, snow-white and soft long legs came into view. The blue-haired girl walked with elegant steps, followed by a younger girl who looked like a porcelain doll.

"Little Bing'er, Little Yue'er, what brings you here to see Brother Shengzi?"

Yan's smile widened as she watched the two sisters rush towards her. Once they were beside her, she carried one in each hand, feeling light and airy. It was a wonderful feeling.

The two girls in front of him, Shui Bing'er, was eleven years old, still three years away from the maximum age limit of three years. She had a delicate and cute style, with a touch of aloofness and adorableness, but once you got to know her... As for the other girl, she was a year or two younger than Shui Bing'er and was her half-sister, Shui Yue'er.

Shui Yue'er has blue-green hair. Compared to her older sister, she is slightly less elegant and beautiful, but she has a gentle and refined nature, is a little bit infatuated, and is naively easy to fool. Don't ask Yan how he knows; he just used a lollipop...

It wasn't that the holy son wanted to be a gentleman, but rather that the two little sisters were so adorable that he couldn't resist wanting to get closer to them. It was all for the sake of cultivation, and he believed that his Pope teacher would forgive him.

With this in mind, Yan inquired about the simulated field with the Bing'er and Yue'er sisters. After learning that his request had been approved by the Tianshui Academy, he happily hugged the two girls and spun them around on the spot.

To thank them, His Highness invited them and the other ladies from the New Skywater team to go swimming in Crystal Lake. He definitely wasn't trying to give them any perks.

Crystal Lake, located outside Tianshui College, is a crystal-clear lake that resembles a bright mirror. It is not a stagnant lake, but a lake with flowing water. Its water source comes from the waterfall behind Tianshui College, which is the snowmelt from the snow-capped mountains.

Snow-capped mountains, waterfalls, and lakes—these three types of snow and water scenery are connected by a winding river that flows around the entire Tianshui Academy, eventually flowing into Crystal Lake and then dispersing into the thousands of acres of fertile fields outside the academy.

At this moment, in Crystal Lake, countless beautiful women dressed in revealing swimsuits surrounded a boy exuding masculinity. The boy was only about fifteen years old, and his body was surrounded by a golden-red soul power that resembled flames, making him stand out among the beautiful women whose lives were set against an icy backdrop.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Yan slowly moved forward, completely immersed in the crystal lake. One by one, the beauties mobilized their soul power to continuously urge the water waves to attack him, even stirring up huge waves in an attempt to drown him.

This was one of the methods Yan had devised by asking the higher-ups at Tianshui Academy to cooperate with his cultivation. He was about to head to the territory of the Sea God, where the waves were ever-changing, and familiarity with the water was a fundamental requirement.

Inland areas lack similar conditions, and training in coastal cities would also be somewhat inadequate, since he wasn't just training his ability to withstand large waves. Therefore, after much consideration, Tianshui Academy was the most suitable option.

Wave after wave of waves crashed relentlessly over him. At first, Yan fell and was submerged time and time again. However, after experiencing this many times, his golden-red soul power became much more refined, and his figure became more stable. He walked out of the Crystal Lake amidst the waves and went upstream along the source of the lake.

Along the banks of the river that encircles the academy, many beautiful female students continue to create waves. In addition, the river meanders through many bends and has many rapids and undercurrents, so it is easy to get swept away if you are not careful.

Yan's journey was quite difficult, but after falling down time and time again, he was able to steadily stay in the river and move forward slowly, and the wind and waves could no longer be an obstacle for him.

He gradually made his way to the back mountain of Tianshui Academy. Before he even got close to the depths of the back mountain, the loud sound of a waterfall, as loud as thunder, reached his ears, deafeningly loud.

Behind Tianshui Academy lies a range of rolling mountains. From within the academy, the entire mountain range cannot be seen, but even the outermost peaks soar into the clouds. The highest points are blanketed in snow, bitterly cold, and this is the target Yan intends to conquer.

Yan continued onward and came to a secluded and deep pool. With thunder rumbling in his ears, he finally saw one of the most crucial checkpoints in the back mountain: the great waterfall.

The waterfall behind Tianshui College is extremely spectacular.

The waterfall, over twenty meters high, stretches like a jade belt across a mountain wall nearly several hundred meters high. The thunderous roar is the sound released as it plunges straight down.

The waterfall is only about 20 meters high, but the water flow is quite astonishing. It is like a jade ribbon hanging in mid-air, with thousands of ribbons flying in the air, creating a magnificent sight.

The waterfall cascades down, splashing countless droplets of water. Under the sunlight, a rainbow of seven colors spans the two banks, creating an indescribably dazzling sight.

This waterfall is also known as the Dragon Gate Waterfall by many students of Tianshui Academy. It symbolizes the carp leaping over the dragon gate, which means that if a water-attribute soul master can use their own strength to go against the current and cross the waterfall, they can gain great benefits.

Yan had already confirmed this with several beautiful female teachers from Tianshui Academy, but how they confirmed it was not for outsiders to know. Perhaps it was a natural mystery, or perhaps some ancient creature was buried on the snow-capped mountain; who knows for sure?

This time, Yan is also going to challenge this great waterfall, and it's not just about leaping over the dragon gate. He wants to go even further, straight up to the top of the snow mountain, and complete the Dragon Transformation Path that very few students in the history of Tianshui Academy have been able to complete. He will use the restraining attribute to transform and integrate his own flame.

With these thoughts in mind, Yan continued forward and soon arrived at the waterfall that resembled a cascading Milky Way. A stream of water split off from the Milky Way and splashed, hitting Yan squarely on the head.

A chill swept over his head, and then he stumbled and fell into the icy pool.

"Boom~~~"

Yan quickly broke out of the water and swam to find a smooth blue stone. Just as he was about to stand on it to find a foothold, a student on the shore attacked again. His soul power caused the Milky Way to split, and Yan was knocked back into the pool.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Failed time and time again, Yan fell into the water again and again. It was in this struggle that his movements became more agile and his aura more profound. The flame soul power that enveloped his entire body, preventing him from being chilled, also underwent a subtle change in nature.
