The Ice Emperor and Octagon could assist him in cultivation, which meant that although he now had twin martial souls, his cultivation speed had not decreased but rather increased.
Having reached the fifty-first rank, he needed to quickly find a suitable fifth soul ring. Additionally, he wanted to visit his family and see the current situation there.
"Teacher, I have some things to attend to, so I'll leave first," Shui Wuya calmly said.
"What things?" the teacher asked with a furrowed brow. It was class time, and without a special reason, students couldn't just leave the classroom.
"I need to talk to the dean about something," Shui Wuya casually replied, walking toward the classroom door.
For a moment, the students in the classroom looked at Shui Wuya with surprise. He had only just arrived in the class, yet he dared to leave during class time, right in front of the teacher!
The teacher at the podium now had a grim expression on his face.
If Shui Wuya hadn't been arranged to come here by Yan Shaozhe, and if the matter between Shui Wuya and Zhou Yi had not already spread among the teachers, the teacher would definitely have scolded Shui Wuya.
Xu Sanshi glanced at Shui Wuya, then at the teacher with the unpleasant expression on the podium. Making up his mind, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and followed Shui Wuya out of the classroom.
Bang!
The teacher was so angry that he slammed his palm on the podium. "Let's continue the class. Don't mind them!"
After this class, he would definitely go find Yan Shaozhe and demand an explanation!
"Why did you come out?" Shui Wuya asked when Xu Sanshi walked out with him, not sure what Xu Sanshi intended to do.
"Boss, that teacher was furious. He might punish you. I came out with you so if he punishes you, we'll take it together. I can't let the boss take it alone, right?" Xu Sanshi scratched his head and walked to Shui Wuya's side. "Boss, what happened so suddenly?"
Xu Sanshi asked tentatively.
Instead of answering directly, Shui Wuya walked toward Yan Shaozhe's office.
He didn't say whether Xu Sanshi should follow or not, nor did he refuse Xu Sanshi.
Of course, Xu Sanshi followed Shui Wuya to Yan Shaozhe's office.
Before Shui Wuya appeared, helping suppress the evil fire for Ma Xiaotao was Xu Sanshi's job. He had been in Yan Shaozhe's office many times before, but it was different from now, accompanying Shui Wuya.
"Shui Wuya? Shouldn't you be in class at this time? Why are you here in my office?" Yan Shaozhe was very puzzled.
Shui Wuya didn't beat around the bush. "I want to take a leave of absence to return to my family and find a suitable fifth soul ring."
Shui Wuya's words stunned both Xu Sanshi and Yan Shaozhe in the office.
Did they hear correctly? Obtaining the fifth soul ring?!
Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but jump in front of Shui Wuya, grabbing his arm with one hand. He wanted to probe, but the extreme coldness forced him to let go, yet he wasn't angry at all.
"Are you really at the fifty-first rank?" Yan Shaozhe still found it hard to believe. How old was Shui Wuya now? Thirteen years old!
Obtaining the fifth soul ring wasn't a difficult task for Shui Wuya.
So, a Soul King at thirteen?
And give Shui Wuya two more years, wouldn't he become a Soul Saint before graduating?
Most of the teachers at Shrek Academy were only at the level of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint.
A Soul King at thirteen, and in two more years, wouldn't Shui Wuya become a Soul Saint even before graduating?
Shui Wuya remained calm, seeming to imply that breaking through to the fifty-first rank was not something worth being excited or proud about.
"Well, okay, I approve it. You can leave now, and I'll take care of the rest for you," Yan Shaozhe decisively let him go.
"Reached the fifty-first rank?" Yan Shaozhe still found it difficult to accept. How old was Shui Wuya now? Thirteen years old!
Obtaining the fifth soul ring wasn't a difficult task for Shui Wuya.
So, a Soul King at thirteen?
How many people's lifelong goal was to become a Soul King?
At Shrek Academy, most teachers were at the level of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint.
A Soul King at thirteen. With two more years given to Shui Wuya, wouldn't he become a Soul Saint before graduating?
Shui Wuya remained calm, as if breaking through to the fifty-first rank was not something worth being excited or proud about.
"Well, okay, I approve it. You can leave now, and I'll take care of the rest for you," Yan Shaozhe decisively let him go.
Extreme Aristocratic Families had their own arrangements for training disciples, and Yan Shaozhe didn't want to interfere randomly.
Everything went smoothly. After leaving Yan Shaozhe's office, Shui Wuya was quickly followed by Xu Sanshi.
"Boss, if you're going to obtain soul rings, can I go with you?" Xu Sanshi asked with a flattering tone.
"You also want to find a suitable soul ring?" Shui Wuya turned his head, his gaze fixed on Xu Sanshi.
Although Shui Wuya's calm gaze made Xu Sanshi feel a bit hot on his face, he continued, "You're my boss. Isn't it reasonable for me to follow wherever you go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Sanshi felt the temperature around him drop significantly.
Subconsciously shivering, he fixed his gaze on Shui Wuya's hand.
Shui Wuya casually condensed a basketball-sized ice ball, and the extreme cold he felt came from that ice ball.
"If you want to follow me, that's fine. I'll take you to the Shui Clan when you're able to melt this ice ball with your own hands," Shui Wuya knew that Xu Sanshi just wanted to go to the Shui Clan.
The extreme cold emanating from the ice ball had no effect on Shui Wuya, but Xu Sanshi mistakenly thought the ice ball itself wasn't that cold and directly took it in his hands.
The next second, his hands were frozen into ice crystals.
Shui Wuya had to help Xu Sanshi control the cold to thaw his hands.
After being freed, Xu Sanshi hurriedly enveloped his hands with soul power to prevent the tragic scene from happening again.
"Be careful. This ice ball is much colder than you imagine," Shui Wuya warned before leaving.
At present, it wasn't suitable for the Shui Clan to be exposed. When Xu Sanshi melted the ice ball, the clan would probably become a true Extreme Aristocratic Family.
Xu Sanshi carefully held the ice ball, not only because of its coldness but also because it was his passage to the Shui Clan.
Just as he was about to return to the classroom, he suddenly realized...
Shui Wuya had left, and of course, the teacher couldn't punish Shui Wuya, but he, on the other hand, was different!
...
After giving the ice ball to Xu Sanshi, Shui Wuya went back to the dormitory to pack his things before setting off.
His family was located in the Star Luo Empire, and it would take quite some time to travel from Shrek Academy.
However, this time, Shui Wuya's journey wouldn't be boring. With Han Feng accompanying him, and having left the academy, Octagon and Ice Emperor no longer needed to hide. As long as they weren't seen by other human soul masters, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Wuya, what's your family like?" Octagon asked from Shui Wuya's shoulder.
Ice Emperor had transformed into human form and walked side by side with Shui Wuya. At this moment, he also perked up his ears.
"I'm curious too. What would the Ice God's family be like?" Shui Wuya remained silent for a moment. "You'll know when we get there." Explaining would be too complicated. It would be better to wait until they arrived. Shui Wuya himself hadn't figured it out yet.
As Shui Wuya approached his family, news of his reaching the fifty-first rank quickly spread throughout Shrek Academy.
Xu Sanshi was not a person who kept secrets. Even though he was being punished by the teacher, he couldn't help but be excited and boast about his great boss.
