Chapter 187: Calling for Help, Each Side Has Its Own Version of Events
Faced with this situation, fighting would be troublesome and running away would be pointless. It looked like a dead end. However, Yu Tianlin found a solution in an instant.
At the very least, I can't let this teacher catch me, otherwise I'll really lose face.
Just then, the Spirit Emperor teacher across from him made her move. Her 1st Spirit Ring lit up, and a thin mist of water vapor seeped from her azure whip. With a sharp flick, she traced 2 circular arcs through the air, turning them into 2 water rings that shot toward Yu Tianlin and wrapped around him.
"A long whip that controls water, what kind of Martial Soul is that?"
Yu Tianlin was startled, but he did not slow down. He tried to evade, yet the 2 water rings adjusted their direction on their own and still caught him.
A lock on attack. It can't be dodged.
"Break!"
Even trapped, Yu Tianlin remained calm. With a low shout, he forced his body forward and shattered the 2 water rings with sheer physical strength.
The Spirit Emperor teacher was shocked.
At first, when she saw Yu Tianlin not releasing his Martial Soul, she thought he had surrendered. That was why she only used her 1st Spirit Skill as a symbolic restraint. She never expected him to break free so violently.
Just as she was about to switch to another method, Yu Tianlin took a deep breath, gathered his Spirit Power, and suddenly threw his head back, letting out a long roar toward the sky.
The sound was loud and clear, like thunder rolling across the heavens. It spread in all directions from Yu Tianlin, quickly covering most of Skywater Academy.
At that moment, Lei Bao was eating with instructors from Divine Wind Academy and several Skywater Academy higher ups. When he heard the roar, he was startled and stood up at once.
"That sounds like Tianlin. What did he stir up this time?"
The roar could be heard by him, and naturally by others as well. One of Skywater Academy's higher ups immediately frowned. "Who is making such a racket in my Skywater Academy?"
Lei Bao stepped forward at once. "My apologies. This should be one of our students."
As he spoke, a pair of thunder wings spread behind his back. "Excuse me."
With a flap, he shot into the air and flew in the direction of the sound.
After Lei Bao left, the Skywater Academy higher ups exchanged meaningful looks.
"Judging from that roar, it's full of vitality and contains extremely strong Spirit Power. It should be above level 40. It seems Thunder Academy brought a very powerful one this time."
The teacher leading Divine Wind Academy looked grim. As far as he knew, among the Five Elements Academies, only Feng Xiaotian had just reached level 41. The top students of the other academies were still short of that, at most level 39. He never expected someone comparable to Feng Xiaotian to appear out of nowhere.
Divine Wind's teacher thought silently, It seems I need to gather more information.
Yu Tianlin's roar was extremely penetrating. Even in a well insulated secret room, it could still be faintly heard. Inside, a figure sitting cross legged also noticed it.
Why does this voice feel so familiar?
"My mind is already scattered. I won't break through this bottleneck anytime soon. I should go out and take a look."
The figure immediately stopped cultivating, left the secret chamber, and headed toward the direction of the roar.
On the other side, the Spirit Emperor teacher frowned at Yu Tianlin, who was still roaring, and said, "What are you yelling for, kid? Doing this will only make you more embarrassed."
Yu Tianlin ignored her and continued until he finally ran out of breath.
After catching his breath, he smiled faintly. "I'm upright and have nothing to fear, but reasoning with you won't work. So I'm calling someone who can speak for me."
"Teacher Yu, don't listen to him!" Seeing things slip away from her plan, Shui Yue'er panicked and shouted repeatedly, "Just arrest him!"
Looking at Yu Tianlin's calm expression, then at Shui Yue'er's slightly guilty reaction, Teacher Yu finally sensed something was off.
Could Yue'er be lying?
This matter might be more complicated than it looks.
Once that thought formed, Teacher Yu stopped advancing.
Not long after, lightning flashed across the sky in the distance. Lei Bao finally arrived.
His gaze swept over the people below. For a moment, even he looked confused. After landing, he asked directly, "Tianlin, what happened?"
"It's like this, Uncle Lei Bao." Yu Tianlin quickly explained the entire situation. With outsiders present, he did not call Lei Bao "Dean." Instead, he deliberately called him "Uncle," making his backing obvious.
After listening, Lei Bao concluded simply, "So this girl named Shui Yue'er wanted to mess with you, and tricked you into entering a place outsiders aren't allowed."
Teacher Yu's expression turned strange. Based on what she knew about Shui Yue'er, she really could do something like this.
"He's lying!" Shui Yue'er naturally refused to admit it and retorted, "This is our training ground. How could we invite him inside? He clearly snuck in on his own!"
"Shui Yue'er." Yu Tianlin smiled. "When you came to call for me, everyone from Thunder Academy saw it. They're all witnesses."
"I did speak to you earlier," Shui Yue'er said, her eyes darting around, "but we separated on the way. Then I came here. You must have followed me!"
Lei Bao and Teacher Yu both had their own suspicions, but Shui Yue'er refused to back down. With each side insisting on their own version, it was impossible to explain clearly.
"Enough, Yue'er. Don't lie."
Just then, a steady voice rang out.
"Tell me the truth."
A figure had appeared behind Shui Yue'er at some point, quietly watching the argument, and only spoke now.
"Sister!" Shui Yue'er turned around in shock. When she saw the person behind her, she blurted out the word.
Yu Tianlin's heart tightened.
He had not sensed anyone approaching at all. Although it was partly because he had been focused on arguing with Shui Yue'er, it still showed how subtle the newcomer's aura control was.
Yu Tianlin looked over subconsciously, and when he heard Shui Yue'er's address, he was instantly shaken.
The person who arrived was none other than Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er had not changed much. She still had long, flowing light blue hair and those delicate features that left a strong impression. 5 years ago, she had been about 1.4 meters tall. Now she was around 1.65 meters.
If there was any obvious change, it was her figure. She was no longer flat chested, and her curves had begun to show, though it was not exaggerated.
After all, 5 years had passed. Some growth was only natural.
