Chapter 51:The Male Coach of Tianshui Academy.
"But, Granny Shui, I'm a man, is this appropriate?"
Yu Xiaolie pointed out the problem.
Shui Qing'er burst out laughing upon hearing this.
"It's not like I'm asking you to live in the college's women's dormitory, what's inappropriate about it?"
Her words carried a hint of teasing.
"Besides, you look so proper, you definitely wouldn't do anything to the students, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
"That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is whether the female students will be averse to having a male coach guiding them."
Granny Shui Jingxin looked calmly at Yu Xiaolie.
"Give it a try."
"Although the students of Tianshui Academy are all women, the enemies they will face in the future will not show mercy just because they are women."
"And having a male Soul Master like you as a coach can make up for this deficiency."
Shui Qing'er nodded in agreement.
"If any students really object, we can always have you become a sparring partner for the teachers. That's not a bad option either."
"Grandma Shui Jingxin said softly."
Yu Xiaolie pondered for a moment.
"In that case, I'll give it a try."
The three finally arrived at Tianshui City.
The city walls of Tianshui were built of blue and white stone, which shimmered with a faint silver light under the moonlight.
On both sides of the city gate, taxi soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Heavenly Dou Empire were on guard. After they saw Granny Shui Jingxin's carriage, they opened the city gate.
After the carriage entered the city, Yu Xiaolie looked out at the streets through the carriage window.
"Tianshui City is one of the most important cities in the northern part of the Tiandou Empire, and is famous for gathering water and ice-type soul masters."
Grandma Shui Jingxin began to introduce the city to Yu Xiaolie.
"Our Tianshui Phoenix Clan has lived and thrived here for many years and has some influence in the city."
Yu Xiaolie nodded and continued looking at the scenery outside the window.
After turning a few corners, they stopped in front of a mansion.
There are a pair of transparent phoenix statues on either side of the gate.
"We've arrived."
As Granny Shui Jingxin spoke, she was the first to get off the carriage.
Yu Xiaolie looked up and saw dozens of distinctive buildings scattered within the tall walls.
The mansion is complete with pavilions, towers, bridges, streams, rockeries, and gardens, and its vast area can accommodate hundreds of people.
Several servants stood on either side of the gate. Upon seeing Granny Shui Jingxin, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"The elder has returned."
"Welcome back, Elder."
Grandma Shui Jingxin nodded slightly.
Then, he led Yu Xiaolie and Shui Qing'er into the mansion.
Along the way, many clansmen came to greet Grandma Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er. They looked at Yu Xiaolie with curiosity, but remained politely silent and did not ask any questions.
Grandma Shui Jingxin led the way, passing through several courtyards, until they arrived at a small, detached courtyard.
"This is the guest quarters; you can stay here for now."
Grandma Shui Jingxin pushed open the courtyard gate, and a small courtyard appeared before the three of them.
"Thank you, Grandma Shui."
Yu Xiaolie said gratefully.
This is no guest house; it's clearly a small, independent mansion. The courtyard alone is three or four times the size of an ordinary family's house.
Judging from the size of their residence and the number of their members, the Phoenix Clan of Tianshui clearly holds a special position in Tianshui City.
But a question arose in Yu Xiaolie's mind.
Why did such a prosperous family ultimately fail to develop into a major sect?
Seemingly noticing Yu Xiaolie's confusion, Shui Qing'er leaned closer and whispered an explanation.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that our family is now large and prosperous; most of our powerful members are not actually in Tianshui City."
Grandma Shui Jingxin led the way, guiding Yu Xiaolie into the small building. The first floor had a spacious living room and dining room, while the second floor had a bedroom and a study.
He asked with some curiosity.
"Qing'er, who else is in your family?"
Shui Qing'er smiled after hearing this.
"We Ice Phoenix Martial Souls go to live in the far north every time we reach level 59."
"It's not just for cultivating in a simulated environment, but also so that these three spirit rings, from level 60 to 80, can hunt the most suitable ice-type spirit beasts."
"Especially at level 70, hunting soul beasts that are suitable for the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is the most important thing in order to make the most of the advantages of the Martial Soul True Body."
"The elders usually return to Tianshui City to take charge of family affairs after they reach level 80."
As she said this, a hint of longing flashed in her eyes.
"My father has already taken my mother and my sister to the far north."
Grandma Shui Jingxin added from the side.
"This is the tradition of our Tianshui Phoenix Clan: pursuing the ultimate ice-type soul skills."
"The far north has the richest resources of ice-type soul beasts and is the best place to improve the strength of ice-type soul masters."
Yu Xiaolie suddenly realized.
"I see."
No wonder the family is so prosperous but has not developed into a sect. It turns out that most of the family's strong members are not in Tianshui City.
Granny Shui Jingxin looked at the night scene outside the window.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest. I'll take you to Tianshui Academy tomorrow."
Shui Qing'er also stood up and smiled slightly at Yu Xiaolie.
Goodnight, Xiaolie.
"good evening."
After seeing the two off, Yu Xiaolie returned to his room.
He lay in bed, reflecting on the day's events, and couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for what lay ahead.
The next morning, before dawn, Yu Xiaolie had already gotten up and started his day's training.
It's become a habit over the years.
First, he did weighted running, strapping sandbags to his waist and limbs, and ran 20 laps along the streets of Tianshui City.
After finishing his run, Yu Xiaolie returned to the courtyard and continued doing push-ups.
One, two, three...
Sweat quickly soaked his clothes, but it did not affect his even rhythm.
Yu Xiaolie looked up and saw that Granny Shui Jingxin had been standing at the gate of the courtyard, quietly watching him with a gentle smile on her face.
"Five thousand!"
Yu Xiaolie gave a soft shout, completed the last push-up, then stood up nimbly and bowed to Granny Shui Jingxin.
Good morning, Grandma Water.
Grandma Shui Jingxin nodded slightly, her face showing appreciation.
"No wonder your physical strength is so amazing; you've been training like this every day."
Yu Xiaolie wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled slightly.
"This is already routine training. When we're in the sect, it's much stricter."
Grandma Shui Jingxin walked into the courtyard and came to Yu Xiaolie.
"Xiao Lie, there's something I've always been curious about."
Her tone was somewhat tentative.
"Can you tell me how your second spirit ring managed to absorb a thousand years of energy?"
Yu Xiaolie had anticipated that Granny Shui Jingxin would ask this question, but he didn't expect her to be so direct.
From Granny Shui Jingxin's eyes, Yu Xiaolie could see her longing—both for the Phoenix Clan and for Tianshui Academy.
Being able to absorb high-age spirit rings beyond their current range is extremely important for improving their overall strength.
Granny Shui Jingxin was wholeheartedly devoted to her family and to all ice-type martial souls.
Yu Xiaolie pondered for a moment; he had always wanted to find an opportunity to absorb soul power with the attribute of ice and cold.
Moreover, and more importantly, the immortal herb continuously nourishes his body. Whenever his flesh and blood are in extreme disarray during a battle, it is precisely the power of the immortal herb that helps him be reborn from the ashes.
This unique physique allows him to grow rapidly and improve his strength quickly in the face of challenges.
Now, the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul in front of me is the perfect match.
Yu Xiaolie looked intently at Granny Shui Jingxin.
"Grandma Water, I can tell you."
"But I have a request."
Granny Shui Jingxin raised an eyebrow curiously, "What request?"
"Please allow me to spar with your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul," Yu Xiaolie said directly.
