When Shen Hanyu opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky. Warm sunlight fell on the ground, making the entire room bright and warm.
Shen Hanyu's room was located on the second floor, at the very end. Shen Liuyu's room was right next door to his, while the Shui Bing'er sisters sometimes stayed downstairs when they came over.
The furnishings in the room were very simple: a table with brushes and ink casually placed on it, along with an extremely ordinary-looking small wardrobe. Even the bed was just an ordinary wooden one, though the timber used was very hard and sturdy.
There wasn't much else worth mentioning. As for the quilts, carpets, and the like, they were all made by craftsmen from the pelts Shen Hanyu had skinned from various spirit beasts.
Opening the window and taking a breath of fresh air, Shen Hanyu stretched lazily, a routine he had repeated countless times over the past few years.
When he went downstairs, he didn't see Shen Liuyu or the other girls; they had probably gone back to school today. Shen Hanyu was quite happy to have some peace.
He went to a familiar noodle shop, ordered a bowl of noodles, and quickly finished his lunch.
Walking along the streets of Element City, Shen Hanyu unusually felt a bit of interest. He strolled around several of the city's well-known streets.
Finally, his footsteps stopped in front of a massive granite building.
"Element City Great Spirit Arena?"
Shen Hanyu murmured to himself, formally examining for the first time the largest structure in Element City besides the four elemental academies and Blazing Academy.
The outer walls of the Element City Great Spirit Arena were almost entirely made of hard granite, reaching a height of at least thirty meters. Among the surrounding buildings, it was already a colossal structure.
Shen Hanyu released his spiritual force to probe inside and soon sensed familiar auras.
He glanced at the huge spirit guidance display screen at the entrance, then decisively walked in.
The interior decoration of the Great Spirit Arena was very luxurious. The floor was covered with dark, low-key carpet, and the walls were adorned with all sorts of bizarre decorations. Bright spirit guidance lamps illuminated the surroundings, making the spacious environment very bright. Quite a few people were coming and going, dressed in various styles and from different social classes; it was extremely lively.
With Shen Hanyu's appearance and temperament, plus the expensive fabric of his robe, it wasn't long before a waitress dressed in servant attire approached, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Esteemed guest, may I ask what you need?"
The waitresses here had all, for various reasons, sold themselves to the spirit arena. In other words, as long as you had enough money and power, any of the waitresses here could be given away as gifts. The Great Spirit Arena even specially provided hotel-style rooms on the top floor…
Shen Hanyu glanced at the young waitress in front of him. She wasn't stunningly beautiful, but she had a gentle, homely charm.
"Take me to watch the Tianshui College spirit fight match."
Shen Hanyu said directly.
The waitress nodded respectfully and led Shen Hanyu deeper into the Great Spirit Arena.
Shen Hanyu observed the structure of the Great Spirit Arena. It resembled a massive bird's nest, hollowed out in the center so that light could shine straight down. However, with a single glance, he understood the purpose of that central area. The surrounding walls were equipped with spirit guidance barriers, and of fairly high grade at that, meaning anyone fighting in that central zone had to be at least at the Spirit Emperor level or above.
Almost all spirit guidance devices on the Douluo Continent were inherited from the past. With current spirit guidance technology, it was nearly impossible to create such things. No matter the era, the development of spirit guidance devices on the Douluo Continent had always lagged far behind that of spirit masters. There had even been periods when spirit guidance device development had regressed.
The other areas here were divided into numerous halls. The waitress led Shen Hanyu into the largest one.
The surroundings featured spectator seats like those in a sports stadium from his previous life, while below was a raised platform where four people were currently engaged in fierce combat.
The spectator seats were already packed with people. From time to time, waves of enthusiastic cheers erupted, the crowd highly excited.
Shen Hanyu almost immediately noticed several girls wearing Tianshui College uniforms standing in the preparation area opposite them; Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Shen Liuyu were all there. Leading the team were Xu Yan and Gu Yu, old acquaintances.
Nearby stood many students from other academies wearing different uniforms. They were generally a bit older, but not by much, likely participants in the same Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament as Shui Bing'er and the others.
Shen Hanyu moved through the dense crowd and saw many people holding Tianshui College support signs, their fanaticism comparable to the star-chasing fans from his previous life.
The other academies didn't receive nearly as much cheering, which was understandable. The Tianshui team could practically be called the Tianshui girl group, all of them top-tier in looks and talent. Naturally, they attracted the attention of lustful men. After all, entertainment options in this world were still quite limited, and having a beautiful girl team comparable to an idol group was already a popular topic of conversation after meals.
Xu Yan noticed the standout Shen Hanyu almost immediately. She wasn't particularly surprised and simply smiled and waved.
Shen Hanyu nodded and walked straight to the Tianshui team's area.
Shen Liuyu and the Shui Bing'er sisters were somewhat surprised. In their eyes, Shen Hanyu rarely visited places with so many people.
The other two girls exchanged a glance and also greeted Shen Hanyu.
A few days earlier, when Shen Hanyu had been guiding Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er at Tianshui College, he had also given them some instructions. They weren't very close, but they could be considered ordinary friends.
"Bro, why did you come here?"
Shen Liuyu asked curiously.
Shen Hanyu leaned leisurely against the railing, watching the two-man-two-woman fight below, and said:
"I was out for a walk, passed by here, sensed you all inside, so I came in to take a look."
Shen Liuyu let out an "oh" and turned her attention back to the fight below.
Shen Hanyu observed the battle below. If he remembered correctly, these two girls would later become members of the Tianshui team. The first, a cold and elegant martial spirit Coral Dolphin owner named Yu Hairou, and the other, gentle and soft in appearance, possessed the martial spirit Blue Water Smoked Perch and was named Qiu Ruoshui.
Both had top-tier looks, and their talents and martial spirits were excellent; they were true top students of Tianshui College.
Their opponents, two male students, wore fiery red uniforms. Shen Hanyu recognized at a glance that they were from Blazing Academy.
One of the spirit masters had two rings, while the other had only one ring, though that one-ring spirit master appeared to be a support-type.
