Chapter 369: Shui Binger's Domain
Soon, news arrived from Sky Water Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Blazing Academy. All three agreed to the proposed merger without raising any objections.
Just like that, the brand-new Four Element Academy was established in Heaven Dou City.
The position of dean was held by Liu Erlong, whose cultivation had already reached the Spirit Douluo level. The original Spirit Saint deans of the three Element Academies became the vice deans of the new Four Element Academy. Beneath them, one department head was assigned to each of the four elements: Thunder, Water, Wind, and Fire.
One dean, three vice deans, and four department heads. This formed the senior management of Four Element Academy.
Yu Tianlin had no intention of interfering further with the affairs of Four Element Academy, so he did not take any position. Shui Binger, however, became the department head of the Water Element Department.
Her cultivation had already reached the Spirit Emperor level, and with her background, there was naturally no issue with her serving as a department head.
Next came the relocation of the other three academies and the expansion of the new campus. While Four Element Academy was bustling with activity, Yu Tianlin brought Shui Binger into a quiet room.
As soon as they entered, Shui Binger quickly said, "Tianlin, Sky Water Academy has just merged into Four Element Academy, and there are many matters to handle. My mother is completely overwhelmed and needs my help, so if you have something to say, please say it quickly."
Hearing Shui Binger's words, Yu Tianlin showed a mysterious smile and asked, "Binger, do you still remember what I told you when we were distributing the prize Spirit Bones to you and Big Brother after the last competition ended?"
"At that time, you distributed the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull to us," Shui Binger said after thinking for a moment. "But you told me not to absorb it, so I gave the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull to Xue Wu."
"That's right," Yu Tianlin nodded. "When I told you not to absorb the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull, I said that when we met again, I would give you a head Spirit Bone of even higher quality."
Once Yu Tianlin mentioned it, Shui Binger remembered. It seemed there really had been such a thing.
However, the Mind Condensing Wisdom Skull was sixty thousand years old, already considered a top-grade existence among Spirit Bones. Now, Yu Tianlin wanted to give her one of even higher quality. This made Shui Binger find it hard to accept.
Thus, Shui Binger immediately declined. "Since you have such a good Spirit Bone, Tianlin, you should absorb it yourself. You don't need to give it to me."
"Don't worry. I already have one."
As Yu Tianlin spoke, he slightly activated his head Spirit Bone. A cluster of illusory light shone from his glabella and instantly spread across his entire body.
Under the shroud of that light, Yu Tianlin gave off an ethereal feeling.
After proving to Shui Binger that he indeed already possessed a head Spirit Bone, Yu Tianlin continued, "See? I have my own head Spirit Bone. The one I'm giving you now was specifically prepared for you."
As he spoke, Yu Tianlin took out a black lead box from his dragon pattern ring.
The moment the black lead box appeared, a wave of cold air swept out, causing the temperature in the entire quiet room to drop sharply. Clearly, even the lead box could not completely isolate the coldness of the Spirit Bone inside.
Handing the lead box to Shui Binger, Yu Tianlin said, "Did you feel that? This head Spirit Bone contains extremely powerful ice element energy. Your Ice Phoenix Martial Soul is an incomplete mutation and lacks ice element energy. I believe that if you absorb this head Spirit Bone, the missing ice element energy will be restored, and your Martial Soul will reach perfection."
"But..."
Shui Binger still wanted to refuse, but Yu Tianlin directly said, "I don't lack Spirit Bones, and neither does the clan. Moreover, this Spirit Bone was specifically prepared for you. Binger, why are you still treating me like a stranger?"
Since Yu Tianlin had already said this much, Shui Binger finally stopped declining. She took the lead box from his hand and slowly opened it.
The instant the lead box opened and the isolation vanished, the coldness inside completely erupted. Under the influence of the cold air, the temperature in the quiet room immediately dropped below freezing, and frost flowers condensed on the windows at a visible speed.
Although the room's temperature changed dramatically, Yu Tianlin and Shui Binger were both Spirit Masters, so it did not affect them. Their attention was now fully focused on the Spirit Bone inside the lead box.
Inside the box was a pale blue, crystal-clear head Spirit Bone. A faint layer of white mist lingered around it.
"How does it feel?" Yu Tianlin asked with a smile as he looked at the head Spirit Bone.
Shui Binger's body was wrapped in a layer of blue light. After hearing Yu Tianlin's words, she shifted her gaze away from the Spirit Bone, looked directly at him, and said, "I don't know why, but I feel something stirring in my heart. It feels as though this Spirit Bone is extremely useful to me, almost as if a voice is urging me to absorb it quickly."
"It's good that you feel something. That proves my guess was correct," Yu Tianlin nodded. "Binger, absorb this head Spirit Bone here in the quiet room. I'll act as your protector."
After saying this, Yu Tianlin walked out of the quiet room, closed the door, and waited quietly outside.
Yu Tianlin waited for three full days.
During these three days, there was no movement inside the quiet room. Only after three days had passed did a clear, high-pitched phoenix cry ring out from within. A blue light spread out from the quiet room, covering a large area.
"This is..."
Because Yu Tianlin was not far from the quiet room, he was also covered by the blue light. He stretched out his hand in surprise, looking at the goose-feather-like snowflakes falling onto his fingertips. Feeling the sudden drop in temperature and the oppressive sensation pressing down on him, he could not help blurting out, "A Domain?!"
After sensing it carefully again, Yu Tianlin became certain.
This was indeed a Domain. Only a Domain could exert full attribute suppression on a Spirit Master.
He had not expected that after Shui Binger absorbed a head Spirit Bone, she would actually awaken a Domain.
However, this was also reasonable. Shui Binger's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was originally a top-grade Beast Martial Soul. It was just that her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had mutated from a Condensing Water Flying Luan Spirit, and because it lacked sufficient ice element energy, the mutation had not been complete.
Now that she had absorbed the head Spirit Bone and supplemented the missing ice element energy, her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had completely reached perfection. Given the quality of the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, awakening a Domain was not strange.
After Yu Tianlin sensed the suppressive ability of this Ice Domain, the Domain was withdrawn by Shui Binger. As the blue light faded, the door of the quiet room was slowly pushed open.
