Chapter 190: Avalanche, Another New Scar on Your Face
The annual Five Elements Academy exchange lasted 7 days. During that time, Yu Tianlin never once stepped onto the arena to spar, and neither did Shui Bing'er. The 2 of them simply spent their days together, wandering around Skywater Academy.
With Shui Bing'er there, Yu Tianlin could enter some areas that were normally off limits to outsiders. Of course, he avoided the truly private places, and Shui Bing'er would not take him there either.
Before long, the 7 day exchange came to an end, and the Thunder Academy delegation had to return. Under these circumstances, Yu Tianlin and Shui Bing'er could only part ways.
"Shui Bing'er, I'm leaving with them tomorrow." Yu Tianlin looked at the girl in front of him and said, "But it's fine. When I have time, I'll come to Skywater Academy to see you."
"The usual way." Shui Bing'er smiled and shook her head, rejecting the suggestion. "Skywater Academy forbids outsiders from entering. Even if I can help you get a temporary permit, it would still be too conspicuous. I'll come to you instead."
Uh, it's like this again.
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin scratched his head awkwardly. "But I'll probably be away for a long time."
"I'm not at Thunder Academy. If you come looking for me, you'll just be wasting your time."
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, but she quickly smiled again. "Then where will you be? I can go find you."
Seeing her insistence, Yu Tianlin could only answer honestly. "I'll be staying in Sunset Forest for a long time."
That was right. Yu Tianlin planned to go to Sunset Forest and absorb the pure dragon power overflowing from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He wanted to use it to further strengthen his dragon transformation, and strive to achieve a dual winged dragon transformation before the competition.
"Isn't Sunset Forest a gathering place for Spirit Beasts? Why would you stay there for so long?" Shui Bing'er did not know the real reason, so she was surprised. Then she said, "Since it's your business, I won't ask more. I'll break through to level 40 soon, and then I'll go to Sunset Forest to obtain a Spirit Ring. Maybe I'll run into you there."
It seems she really wants to spend more time with me.
Yu Tianlin thought for a moment, then took out a blue metal sphere from his dragon patterned ring and handed it to her.
"Then let's do this. Take this. It's a unique communication device from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. When you're about to go to Sunset Forest, release it, and I'll receive the message. We'll meet in the town outside Sunset Forest."
"Okay." Shui Bing'er nodded again and again. She tried to stay calm, but the joy in her eyes still leaked out.
Yu Tianlin explained how to use the device and carefully described the meeting place in the town. Then, after the Thunder Academy members called for him, the 2 finally separated.
Back at Thunder Academy, Lei Tian and the other selected participants gathered again for training. After the exchange meeting, they had collected plenty of information on the other Four Elements teams. Naturally, they wanted to strike while the iron was hot, pull out the useful details, and adjust their training accordingly.
As for Yu Tianlin, he did not need any of that. He simply went to ask Lei Bao for leave, planning to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
However, before that, he still needed to find Dugu Bo.
The reason was simple, he needed the antidote to the poison array.
Dugu Bo had set a poison array outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Without the antidote, even a Spirit Saint would die if they tried to force their way in. Although Yu Tianlin now had a way to enter without being affected, it was still troublesome. Compared to that, it was far easier to get the antidote directly from Dugu Bo.
With his mind made up, Yu Tianlin headed straight to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Although Dugu Bo's whereabouts were unpredictable, he had once demanded a 30,000 year head Spirit Bone from the Heaven Dou Royal Family for his granddaughter. That kind of debt was not something he could simply ignore and vanish over. So when he had nothing urgent to do, he usually stayed at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, making him easy to find.
However, not long after Yu Tianlin entered the academy grounds, he spotted a familiar face.
Yu Tianlin could not help chuckling. "Isn't this Xue Beng? What new scars did you get on your face? What terrible thing did you do this time?"
It was indeed Xue Beng, the 4th prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
He had once been taught a lesson by Yu Tianlin for harassing Ye Lingling, so they had met before. Now, the 4th prince no longer carried his usual arrogant air. He was bruised and battered, clearly having just been beaten up.
"Who are you? Do you even know who you're talking to?" Seeing Yu Tianlin's attitude, one of Xue Beng's lackeys immediately jumped out, barking loudly to defend his master, but Xue Beng quickly stopped him.
Yu Tianlin glanced at Xue Beng. He could tell the man was only thinking about revenge and did not want to cause trouble right now. Yu Tianlin snorted and walked around them.
"Don't meddle in other people's business."
Watching Xue Beng and his group leave, Yu Tianlin's expression turned thoughtful.
Xue Beng was, after all, a prince, yet he had been beaten inside Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Given the timing, there was only 1 possibility.
Shrek Academy's group had already arrived, and Xue Beng had been beaten by Dai Mubai.
"It's interesting." Yu Tianlin found it almost amusing. "A prince of the Star Luo Empire beating up a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, right next to the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"And both princes were out of favor, yet both managed to turn things around."
This time, Xue Beng should still be able to turn the tables. After all, his elder brother was a fake. Once that truth was exposed, Xue Beng could successfully take the throne.
But Dai Mubai was another story. Without the Chrysanthemum, he probably could not compete with his elder brother.
"It's quite the coincidence." Yu Tianlin had not been paying attention to Shrek Academy's movements, yet they ended up crossing paths like this.
"Xiao Wu is really bold, daring to come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. That's practically courting death. Isn't she afraid of running into a Title Douluo?"
After being beaten by Dai Mubai, Xue Beng would go find Prince Xue Xing. And to subdue the 3 Spirit Douluo level instructors, Prince Xue Xing would invite Dugu Bo.
In other words, if nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Wu would be exposed to Dugu Bo tomorrow.
