Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

The battle against the Blazing Flame duo on the field is still vivid in my mind, and the tense and fierce atmosphere still seems to linger in my heart.

Shui Bing'er's mind kept replaying every move Yan made on the stage; his calmness and strength were unforgettable.

Binglan suddenly broke the silence, leaning close to Shui Bing'er's ear and speaking softly:

“Bing’er, I may have misunderstood Yan Luo before. He may not be as cold as he appears. Although he is somewhat mysterious, he may not be a bad person.”

Tonight, Binglan was impressed by Yan's strength.

After the match, Yan offered them herbs to help them recover their strength, which changed her impression of Yan considerably.

Shui Bing'er tilted her head slightly, looked at Bing Lan, and nodded in agreement.

"I also think he doesn't seem like a bad person."

"Bing'er, you're just too kind and too naive. In your eyes, there are no bad people. However, you may not have much time to get to know him. Huo Wu will be leaving soon, and before long, Yan Luo may also leave."

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's heart trembled slightly.

She looked into the distance, as if she could see Yan's departing figure. At that moment, a strange sense of emptiness welled up in her heart.

She didn't know why she felt this way about someone she had only known for a short time. Ever since she first saw Yan's performance on the stage, his image had occupied a place in her heart.

The moonlight, like water, bathed the two of them, adding a touch of tenderness to the tranquil night.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.

She knew that this sudden feeling might just be a part of youth, but it was so real and so touching.

"Bing'er."

"Ok?"

Shui Bing'er's thoughts were interrupted, and she finally came to her senses.

"Have you fallen for him?"

"No, no."

"Alright, there's nothing more to hide. I've been through this before. You're both at the most beautiful age right now, and that first flutter in your hearts will be the most cherished memory of the future."

Shui Bing'er was a little embarrassed, her face turning slightly red.

"Sister Lan, I really admire your courage to sacrifice for love back then."

"For me, power and money are just empty titles. If I had another chance, I would still make the same choice. The most regrettable thing in life is probably loving someone you can't have."

As Binglan spoke, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Although Douluo Continent is a world where the strong are respected, it is also filled with power and desire.

Tianshui Academy only admits beautiful female students with water attributes, and it is one of the very few academies, besides the Spirit Hall Academy, that is open to commoners.

Its existence changed the fate of many ordinary girls.

Those beautiful and talented female students are highly favored by royalty and nobility.

Those with outstanding looks and abilities became the objects of secret competition among everyone.

Most of the students married into royalty and nobility after graduation and lived a life of luxury.

Only a small percentage of girls are able to be independent and stay true to themselves.

Binglan is one of them.

Although many nobles and royalty pursued her, after graduating from Tianshui Academy, she disregarded her family's objections and married an ordinary Soul Master, later working as a teaching assistant at the academy.

Although married life was ordinary, she still felt very happy to be with her loved one.

Shui Bing'er is the most talented among the younger generation of Soul Masters at Tianshui Academy, but she has little interest in power and fame.

But that wasn't the life she wanted.

She wanted to be herself.

I hope that one day I can be like Binglan and have the courage to break through that invisible shackle.

~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Yan met at the agreed location on time.

Afterwards, the three of them went to Tianshui Academy together.

Tianshui is right next to Tox City, and they are not far apart.

The three rode fast horses and arrived at Tianshui City in just one hour.

From afar, Tianshui City resembles a bright pearl nestled among mountains, its unique scenery truly captivating.

The entire city seems to be built on water.

In the center of the city is a huge lake with clear, shimmering water.

Around the lake, various buildings are scattered in a well-organized manner, including both simple folk houses and magnificent public buildings.

The architecture of Tianshui College is particularly eye-catching. It sits on a high ground by the lake, with exquisite patterns carved on the white walls and a roof covered with blue glazed tiles that gleam in the sunlight.

The three crossed the street and arrived at the main gate of Tianshui College.

Shui Bing'er was already waiting here.

Today, she wore a light blue school uniform, which made her look even more pure and lovely.

Upon seeing the three of them, she greeted them with a beaming smile.

"You've arrived. Please come in with me."

Chapter 53: Yue Guan Breaks Through to Level 53

53.

Led by Shui Bing'er, Yan, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang entered Tianshui Academy.

As soon as they stepped into the academy, the three of them were stunned by the sight before them.

The college is shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

On the wide road, beautiful female students in Tianshui College uniforms came and went. They chatted in groups of three or five or hurried along alone, each exuding youthful energy.

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang stared wide-eyed. They had never seen so many beautiful women gathered together, and each of them exuded a unique charm.

Some are as gentle as water, some as passionate as fire, and some as agile as the wind, making them dazzling to behold.

Yan remained calm, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tianshui Academy truly lived up to its reputation as a place where beauties gathered.

Shui Bing'er led the three on a tour of the academy, introducing its architecture, history, and features along the way.

The girls along the way looked at the group of four with curiosity, sensing the aura emanating from Yan, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang.

In this water-attribute academy, the appearance and temperament of these three people seemed out of place.

Huo Wushuang doesn't usually receive so much attention, and suddenly being stared at by so many eyes made him feel a little uneasy, and his steps quickened unnaturally.

Huo Wu saw this and couldn't help but tease her brother.

"Brother, you're a big boy now, why are you still shy?"

"Little sister, you're not me, you wouldn't understand. This feeling... is really strange."

"Tch! Then take a look at Brother Yan."

Huo Wu pointed to Yan beside her.

"They didn't even blush or skip a beat; they were so calm."

Huo Wushuang glanced at Yan and saw that he looked perfectly normal, even smiling and nodding to some girls who were passing by. She couldn't help but feel admiration.

"Perhaps Brother Yan is someone who has seen a lot."

After saying that, Huo Wushuang scratched his head awkwardly, trying to change the subject.

"Little sister, how about we go and pay a visit to Dean Ling first?"

"Okay, that's what I meant."

Huo Wu nodded in agreement, then looked at Yan.

"Brother Yan, do you want to come along?"

Yan shook his head.

"You guys go, I won't go."

"Aren't you bored by yourself?"

"It's okay, I'll just wander around for a bit."

"Alright then, we'll come find you again later."

Shui Bing'er continued:

"Then I'll take you to the dean's office first."

Huo Wu waved her hand.
