Chapter 451: Deputy General Shui Bing'er

"Sister, what are you still hesitating for?" Shui Yue'er was dying of envy for Shui Bing'er.

According to what her junior brother said, becoming a deputy general meant following him to godhood in the future, with strength equivalent to a Second-Class God in the God Realm.

Although it was only second-class, for her, it was something to be hoped for but never attained.

If she didn't know her own aptitude was insufficient, she would have wanted to strive for it herself.

Shui Bing'er was not as thick-skinned as her. Admittedly, with the opportunity to become a god placed before her, she naturally wanted it, but she feared she was unworthy of the position. She worriedly said, "Junior brother, you just said that the requirement for this deputy general god position is a prodigy who has reached above the sixtieth level of soul power before the age of twenty. Senior sister is currently only at the fifty-second level. Please forgive my bluntness, but I do not believe I can rise eight levels in the remaining nine months to reach the level of a Soul Emperor."

"Senior sister need not worry about this." Feihuang smiled. "I have a way to help you break through these eight levels within these nine months. As long as you are willing to agree, I will never break my word."

"Bing'er, don't hesitate!" Shui Youlan urged. Just a moment ago, she had been dissatisfied with Nan Feihuang's philandering, but in the face of the temptation of godhood, what did philandering matter? Besides, it seemed he hadn't really taken a fancy to her daughter, but rather to her daughter's aptitude.

Had she known this boy would have such achievements, she should have brought her daughter to claim him the moment her junior sister's son was born. If so, what business would that Princess Xue Ke have today?

Encouraged by her mother, Shui Bing'er's expression firmed up. She looked at Nan Feihuang and nodded, saying, "Junior brother, senior sister agrees. Thank you, junior brother, for bestowing this opportunity upon me!"

The opportunity to become a god was a massive favor to anyone.

Shui Bing'er did not think for a moment that she was helping Nan Feihuang. After all, even without her, Nan Feihuang might not fail to find other geniuses. To say nothing else, his own elder sister, Nan Feiling, and his childhood sweetheart, Lv Lingqi, were both qualified.

"Thank you, senior sister!" Nan Feihuang said happily. In this way, the Peerless Divine General Second Trial could be successfully completed. "Senior sister, stay in the Gu Lei Kingdom for the coming year. I will use all the resources at my disposal to help you become a Soul Emperor within the year."

"Alright!" Shui Bing'er agreed. Since she had accepted Nan Feihuang's request, she naturally would not be insincere and would complete the goal with her whole heart.

"Junior brother, keep me too. Do you have any smaller god positions, like a colonel or centurion under a general?" Shui Yue'er asked ingratiatingly. She hadn't given up yet. "If that doesn't work, senior sister will take a loss and bet everything on you; being a small Secondary Concubine for you would be fine too."

She had pushed her infatuated personality and thick skin to the extreme. If she couldn't become a god, then becoming one of a god's wives would be fine too.

"Sorry, senior sister, I have no other god positions." Feihuang said, speechless. Did this girl think god positions were being sold wholesale? A colonel was one thing, but what was the meaning of a thousand-man commander or a centurion? It wasn't that he wasn't willing to help Shui Yue'er, but the problem was that Shui Yue'er truly lacked the potential for godhood. Like Shui Bing'er, if Feihuang put in the effort, helping her break through eight levels to become a Soul Emperor in a year wasn't too difficult.

But Shui Yue'er had only just passed the Soul Ancestor level; even for Feihuang, he didn't have the ability to help her break through twenty levels in a year.

At most, he could find a way to guide her later; at the very least, bringing her to the level of a Title Douluo wouldn't be a problem.

"Senior sister Yue'er, I hope you will return to Tianshui Academy."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er frowned. "Why? Junior brother, you are so biased. Even if I'm not as capable as my sister, you don't have to chase me away, sob sob sob..."

She started fake crying halfway through. This was her usual tactic; at home, Shui Youlan and Shui Bing'er had often been led around by the nose because of this.

"It's not like that, senior sister. I have a matter I would like to ask for your help with, and it is also very important for your Tianshui Academy itself." Feihuang said seriously. If his guess was correct, the Spirit Hall's next move would inevitably be, as in the original story, to take action against the major Spirit Master academies and various sects across the continent. The goal, naturally, was to bring all the Spirit Masters of the world under their control and make everyone acknowledge that only the Spirit Hall was the orthodox authority for Spirit Masters.

When the Spirit Hall established its nation in the original story, it had already incorporated nearly seventy percent of the Spirit Masters on the entire continent.

Therefore, Feihuang prepared to pick up the scraps.

He knew that the current strength of the Gu Lei Kingdom was indeed insufficient to incorporate the power of the continent's Spirit Masters on such a large scale like the Spirit Hall.

But if he only picked the elites among them to incorporate, wouldn't that be fine? The Spirit Hall preferred quantity over quality, so he would prefer quality over quantity.

Among all the Spirit Master academies on the continent, besides the Spirit Hall Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The most famous veteran powerhouses were just those few: the Five Great Element Academies, the Plant Academy, the Exotic Beast Academy, and so on.

What Feihuang wanted were precisely these few. The Exotic Beast Academy was already within the Gu Lei Kingdom, so it was already in his pocket; there was no need to worry.

The Plant Academy would likely take some effort and would depend on luck. For the Element Academies, he would have to use Tianshui Academy as a medium.

Now that Shui Bing'er was staying in the Gu Lei Kingdom, Shui Yue'er had to go home to help him persuade several of the younger generation from the Blazing Fire and Kamikaze families.

As for the older generation, he could entrust Shui Youlan to help.

But one must never underestimate the status of the younger generation in the Element Academies. Their decisions could also influence the direction of the academies. For example, Feng Xiaotian had already graduated from Kamikaze Academy and started serving in the management, and was later promoted to vice-dean of the merged Element Academy.

The leaders of these academies were very clear that the young people were the future of the academy, so they would inevitably consider the opinions of the most outstanding children.

Now with Yu Yuanzhen, the Thunder Academy was no problem. For Tianshui Academy, it wouldn't be hard for his mother to persuade Mother Shui. Besides, since Shui Bing'er had already agreed to follow him, could her mother still run off to Heaven Dou like in the original story?

Shui Yue'er and Huo Wu had a good relationship, and Yu Tianxin was also good friends with Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian. As long as they waited for the Spirit Hall to start taking action and pressuring these academies, they could take the opportunity to help persuade them, and the chance of success would still be very high.

Feihuang explained his thoughts to Shui Yue'er, and Shui Yue'er immediately agreed. "So that's how it is. Junior brother, you actually trust senior sister this much and have given senior sister such a heavy responsibility. Don't worry, senior sister will not let you down."

She patted her small chest, looking like she had everything under control.

"Then I'll leave it to you, senior sister Yue'er. Rest assured, senior sister, when you return, junior brother will definitely reward you well!" Nan Feihuang promised.

Anyway, he still had many soul bones on hand; giving Shui Yue'er one or two more when the time came wouldn't be a problem.

"Oh, then senior sister will be looking forward to it!" Shui Yue'er's eyes lit up; she seemed to have misunderstood again.
