Feeling a weight on his hand, Shui Wuya's mental image suddenly vanished.

Opening his eyes, he found a ring on his middle finger that hadn't been there before.

The style of this ring was all too familiar to Shui Wuya. As a fan of Douluo Dalu, he frequently encountered storage soul tool rings in novels.

And what about the notification sound he had just heard? Wasn't it from the system?

"System?" Shui Wuya attempted to call out a few times, but there was no response.

Deciding to set aside thoughts of the sound for now, he focused on examining the ring on his finger.

"This storage ring is probably the family's big gift package mentioned in the notification sound." Shui Wuya attempted to infuse his soul power into it, much like using a soul tool. Immediately, he sensed a small space inside.

The space contained boxes upon boxes of golden soul coins. Counting them with his spiritual power was extremely quick, and after a quick scan, Shui Wuya was greatly astonished.

There were a whopping fifty thousand golden soul coins!

With so many golden soul coins, it was possible to buy a soul bone or two by picking up some bargains!

Inside the ring was also a plain-looking token.

Shui Wuya took it out, observing a water character on the front and a phoenix spreading its wings on the back!

This was the clan leader's token! Shui Wuya's memories included a segment about this token.

"So, it seems that my ancestor really believed my words and made some changes." Shui Wuya felt excited. Moreover, changing the past could affect the present reality he was in.

Although according to the notification sound, he was now a declining clan leader, by repeatedly altering the past, he would definitely make the family thrive and remain powerful even after thousands of years!

Glancing inside the ring, apart from money and the clan leader's token, there was a book, a letter, and a jade bottle with words written on it.

Shui Wuya first took out the letter and glanced at it. It was a letter from the city lord, surprisingly courteous and respectful toward him.

Evidently, this was the influence of his changed status.

The remaining items were an Extreme Ice Heart Technique book, a bottle containing ten Tian Shui Pills.

As his gaze fell on the Extreme Ice Heart Technique, memories began to surface in Shui Wuya's mind. It turned out that he had been practicing the Extreme Ice Heart Technique since he was in the womb, and he had twelve years of experience in cultivation.

Information about the Tian Shui Pills also appeared in Shui Wuya's memory.

These pills were only effective for ice and water attribute soul masters under level fifty, directly boosting their soul power by two levels. However, they were only effective up to the second pill; the third pill wouldn't work.

"Changing the past will affect the present me, but it won't erase the memories from before the change. New memories only appear when I think about them, which is quite convenient."

This was akin to living as a bystander for the first twelve years, and his arrival from another time point wouldn't change that. Therefore, he acquired memories of his predecessor as a bystander.

He speculated that this might be the reason for this phenomenon.

Looking at the Tian Shui Pills, Shui Wuya understood his predecessor's intentions after the change.

Since the Tian Shui Pills were effective for soul powers below level fifty, his predecessor intended to wait until reaching level forty-seven before taking them, directly breaking through to level fifty.

As it was well known, the higher the soul power level, the harder it was to cultivate. Such a plan would indeed maximize the effectiveness of the Tian Shui Pills.

After inspecting the items, Shui Wuya sat cross-legged once again. Once more, he saw Shui Bing'er in the room.

She hadn't started practicing yet, evidently waiting for him.

At this moment, having waited for a while without hearing Shui Wuya's voice again, Shui Bing'er was about to give up when the voice appeared once more.

"Ancestor, I'm going to transmit a set of techniques to you. Get ready to remember them."

That's right, this time Shui Wuya intended to transmit the Extreme Ice Heart Technique to Shui Bing'er. Created by Shui Bing'er's descendants and continuously modified from generation to generation, this technique was considered their exclusive technique. It could enhance the ice attribute of soul power. As an Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, practicing this technique would greatly accelerate Shui Bing'er's soul power advancement compared to normal meditation.

Shui Wuya was extremely excited to see how powerful Shui Bing'er could become with the help of the Extreme Ice Heart Technique.

The Extreme Ice Heart Technique was quite lengthy, with numerous annotations and experiences from previous practitioners. Shui Bing'er felt she couldn't remember it all, so she found pen and paper in the room. While Water Wuya recited, she wrote down everything.

With twelve years of cultivation experience, Shui Wuya was already very familiar with this technique. Not only did he recite it quickly, but he also shared the key points he had summarized with Shui Bing'er.

After Shui Bing'er finished writing, Shui Wuya wanted to guide her through her first practice session. However, he suddenly felt extremely fatigued, even experiencing discomfort in the back of his head.

"Ancestor, I have to go now. We'll talk again next time." Just as he said that, the image of Shui Wuya disappeared like a bubble bursting.

In the Tian Shui Academy ten thousand years ago, Shui Bing'er looked at the ink still wet on the paper in her hand, unable to hide her expression.

After realizing Shui Wuya had disappeared, she stood there with her mouth slightly agape, motionless.

"Is all of this real? And that place called Shrek Academy, can it really win the championship?" Shui Bing'er was at a loss.

For Shui Wuya, feedback came instantly. For him, changing the past would directly alter his future. But for Shui Bing'er in the past, all of this had just happened, and she couldn't even decide whether to believe Shui Wuya's words.

It was such a bizarre situation that she didn't even want to tell her teacher or friends. Even if she did, no one would believe her, right?

Shui Bing'er shook her head and smiled, her gaze firm as she looked at the Extreme Ice Heart Technique. Wasn't it easy to determine whether it was real or not through this technique?

"I want to see for myself if that future Shrek Academy can really win the championship."

...

Shui Wuya opened his eyes, excitement filling them.

He had figured out that this ability consumed his mental energy. He could easily replenish his mental energy through regular practice. In other words, communicating with the past Bing'er barely consumed anything. As long as his mental energy was sufficient, he could communicate!

With such an ability, the days of him transitioning from a wanderer to a powerhouse of a prestigious family were just around the corner!

Suppressing his excitement, Shui Wuya directly consumed the next Tian Shui Pill.

Although his predecessor had preserved it until now to break through to level fifty in one go, for Shui Wuya, the sooner he used it, the better.

With future communications with Shui Bing'er, he would only acquire more and more good things. He didn't need these two Tian Shui Pills at all.

If the immortal herbs from ten thousand years ago were preserved, they would also bring about tremendous improvements.

After taking the Tian Shui Pill, a surge of cold air exploded within him. Shui Wuya quickly calmed his mind, activated the Extreme Ice Heart Technique, and controlled his soul power to absorb the medicinal power.

In addition to boosting his soul power by two levels, the first Tian Shui Pill could also refine his essence and marrow.

Inside the dormitory, cold air began to emanate from Shui Wuya's body. Completely focused on refining the medicinal power, he had no energy to control the cold air.

The temperature in the dormitory plummeted, and frost began to spread from under Shui Wuya. The wooden bed was completely covered in ice.

Soon, the bed frame, the floor, the walls, and even the furniture hanging on the walls were frozen. Even the soul tools hanging upside down were not spared.

After the medicinal power was absorbed, Shui Wuya's soul power level jumped from thirty-one to thirty-three.

"It seems I need to be more careful in the future." Seeing the dormitory turned into an ice house, Shui Wuya felt a bit embarrassed. Fortunately, his roommate hadn't arrived yet.

Having cultivated the Extreme Ice Heart Technique for twelve years and now with his martial soul transformed into the Ultimate Ice, it would take a short time for the ice to melt.

Shui Wuya didn't bother to deal with it; he actually felt quite comfortable in such a frigid environment.

Just then, as Shui Wuya went out to eat, another young man arrived at the door.

As his hand touched the doorknob, a cold chill froze him, causing him to immediately retract his hand.

"What's going on?" The young man, Dai Huabin, was confused. Why was the doorknob so cold?

It felt like being in an ice cellar.

He pulled his hand into his sleeve, used his sleeve to grip the doorknob, and pushed it open.

A blast of cold air hit him, making him shiver uncontrollably. "What's this? Isn't this the dormitory? It's more like an ice world!"

Even the ground was covered in ice, and he didn't know where to step!

"Did I come to the wrong dormitory?" Dai Huabin's mouth twitched. This place was definitely not meant for humans.

Surely he must have made a mistake.

After a while, Dai Huabin returned from the guidance office and stood in front of the dormitory again, his eyes blank. It was indeed his dormitory!

"Are you my roommate? Nice to meet you, I'm Shui Wuya." The young man's voice came from behind, startling Dai Huabin, who turned around to see the handsome face of Shui Wuya and was momentarily shocked.

"I'm Dai Huabin." Dai Huabin noticed Shui Wuya's clothes and couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

Although the family's situation had changed now, and Shui Wuya had fifty thousand golden soul coins, his clothes hadn't changed, and Shui Wuya didn't see the need to replace his tattered clothes.

After all, he would be wearing the school uniform soon.

"Are you also in this dormitory? Hmph, this environment is completely uninhabitable. I'm going to have my father complain to Shrek..." Dai Huabin crossed his arms and stepped aside to let Shui Wuya open the door, revealing the icy conditions inside.

Following Shui Wuya's indifferent entry, he said, "Hey, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, something even more shocking happened.

With a wave of Shui Wuya's hand, the ice quickly dissipated!

And there wasn't a drop of water left on the ground!

"Sorry for the disturbance earlier during my cultivation. It's okay now; you can come in." After absorbing and dispersing all the cold air in the room, Shui Wuya checked his bed and then spread the bedding he had brought back from outside.

After he finished tidying up, Dai Huabin finally came back to his senses. "You... you did all that ice?"

Dai Huabin swallowed hard, realizing that his roommate was not someone to be trifled with...

Shui Wuya knew who the other person was when Dai Huabin said his name. He was Huo Yuhao's brother, and naturally, he wasn't interested in him.

He started practicing directly to replenish the mental energy he had consumed.

Dai Huabin, helpless, didn't bother to disturb Shui Wuya and started his own practice after taking the bedding.
