Chapter 90 The So-Called Genius
Both players had reached the edge of the playing area when the referee shouted, "Begin!"
Nine tails swayed behind Ye Nanxiao, and a chilling aura erupted from him as he charged straight towards the other side. Jiang Nannan followed closely behind with a light leap of her long legs.
On the other side, Yang Yifan and Yu Mengdi also released their martial souls. Yang Yifan's martial soul was a long dagger. Despite his tall stature, he was actually an agility-type battle soul master. He flashed to the side and dodged away.
Yu Mengdi's martial soul is not so simple. When she releases her martial soul, it has a similar shocking feeling as when Wang Dong released the Goddess of Light Butterfly.
A pair of pure white wings, radiating intense golden light, unfurled behind her. Instantly, Yu Mengdi was enveloped in a soft golden glow, exuding a sense of holiness. A golden light flashed in her hands, and a golden longsword appeared in each of them.
"Well done." Ye Nanxiao's right hand also quickly condensed into an ice blade, the dense cold air on the ice blade seemed to freeze the space itself.
Five spirit rings appeared on Yu Mengdi's body: two yellow, two purple, and one black, indicating her cultivation level as a Soul King.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the pitch-black soul ring opposite him, wore a standard smile, and swung his sword down.
In this strike, Ye Nanxiao imbued a trace of the Emperor's Sword's power.
Yu Mengdi's fifth spirit ring shone brightly, and her body was enveloped in a dense golden light. However, Yu Mengdi felt cold all over, and she could hardly hold the golden sword in her hand. A chill that made her soul tremble enveloped her.
The referee, who had been watching the situation closely, immediately noticed something was wrong and acted swiftly. Seven spirit rings flew out from the referee's body, and a special eight-section staff blocked Yu Mengdi's path, taking the ice blade that seemed capable of cutting down the entire world.
"Bang!" The eight-section long stick had obvious cracks on its shaft. The referee quickly released the stick from his hand. Ice splattered all over the stick and quickly spread across a large area of the ground.
Yu Mengdi was blasted back a step or two by the referee's soul power and fell to the ground, her eyes lifeless.
Yang Yifan noticed Yu Mengdi's situation out of the corner of his eye and was shocked. He reacted instantly after a slight delay.
The next moment, his body became heavy, a pair of white boots appeared around his neck, and then his vision suddenly spun.
Intense pain shot through his body, and the chill at the back of his neck made Yang Yifan shout that he was giving up.
"Shrek Academy wins!" The referee determined that the two players from Zhengtian Academy were no longer able to fight and immediately announced the result of the match.
Ye Wuqing suddenly stood up, staring intently at Ye Nanxiao, who was smiling brightly at him, his fists clenching involuntarily.
Wang Yan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, looked at the field, then at the people around him, and asked hesitantly, "We...won?"
Beibei nodded somewhat stiffly. Less than fifteen minutes into the game, they won?
The Star Luo Emperor looked with interest at the white-haired boy in the Shrek Academy uniform on the field, and said to the girl behind him, "What do you think of the boy I mentioned?"
The palace-dressed girl standing behind Emperor Xingluo didn't speak, but her phoenix eyes shone with a strange light.
Ye Wuqing looked at Yang Yifan, who was helping Yu Mengdi back, with a gloomy expression. His voice was devoid of emotion as he asked, "How's your strength?"
"They're very strong," Yang Yifan said bitterly. The two of them were defeated in less than a quarter of an hour. Although their opponents were Shrek Academy, he was still filled with resentment.
The Zheng Tian Academy team members around Ye Wuqing all had terribly gloomy faces. They hadn't seen any Shrek Academy members and were thinking they could defeat Shrek, but Ye Nanxiao threw a huge chunk of ice at their heads.
"Please bring the players from both sides to the stage for the second match." The referee's voice on the stage pulled the Shrek Academy students back from their excitement.
To ensure Ye Nanxiao's condition, Wang Yan called Ye Nanxiao and Jiang Nannan back to the waiting area and replaced them with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
"The rest is up to us," Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi said to Ye Nanxiao with serious expressions.
"Hidden trump card, it's okay to lose," Ye Nanxiao said in a low voice. He was very interested in Ye Wuqing and wanted to personally test Ye Wuqing's pride.
Beibei and Xu Sanshi stepped onto the competition stage with knowing glances.
Jiang Nannan pinched Ye Nanxiao's fox ears and said irritably, "What are you testing? Wouldn't it be better to just win?"
Ye Nanxiao quickly said with a smile, "Nannan, this is an agreement between men. Look, Ye Wuqing didn't even participate, did he?"
Wang Yan was both amused and exasperated by Ye Nanxiao's personality. Unfortunately, Ye Nanxiao was the main force, so there was nothing he could do but let Ye Nanxiao handle the situation, since Ye Nanxiao was the captain personally appointed by Elder Xuan.
When Beibei and Xu Sanshi arrived at the referee's side, two team members from Zhengtian Academy were already standing there waiting for them.
"Zhengtian Academy, Tang Xiaolei, Blood Wolf."
"Shrek Academy, Beibei, Xu Sanshi."
"Both sides, take your positions! The game begins!" the referee announced.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi instantly summoned their martial spirits, with Xu Sanshi holding a shield on the left and Bei Bei on the right.
Blood Wolf roared and charged forward with lightning speed, his body undergoing a dramatic transformation as he charged. His silver-gray fur grew wildly, and his muscles and bones expanded at an astonishing rate. The most significant change was in his head, which protruded with a protruding mouth and exposed fangs. His legs became exceptionally thick, and his hands transformed into sharp claws. As he charged, his first spirit ring began to glow.
Tang Xiaolei's bright eyes instantly turned bright purple, as if a bright purple flame was overflowing from their sockets.
He raised his left hand, and a large bow appeared in his grasp. He was the Soul King of this competition, with two yellow and three purple soul rings shining brightly.
Tang Xiaolei raised his hand and drew back the bowstring. A yellow arrow appeared, and purple light flashed in Tang Xiaolei's eyes. His energy and spirit increased dramatically at an astonishing speed.
Tang Xiaolei always believed that his martial soul belonged to the first tier of weapon martial souls, and he called himself the strongest power attack type soul master at Zhengtian Academy.
Xu Sanshi stood holding his shield, and Beibei quickly hid behind him.
Ripples of dark light appeared on the Xuan Turtle Shield, and rows of Xuan Turtle shell plates appeared around the two of them, forming the "Xuan Turtle Shield Formation".
The yellow arrow struck Xu Sanshi's Xuan Turtle Shield, causing the shield to tremble. A dark, ripple-like light shone from the shield, forcefully blocking Tang Xiaolei's arrow.
Seizing the opportunity, Beibei unleashed a lightning-infused Thunder Dragon Claw attack, colliding with the Blood Wolf.
Ye Wuqing's willingness to send Tang Xiaolei and Xuelang into the second match shows that he has confidence in the two.
Tang Xiaolei's fourth-ranked purple soul ring transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Purple Flower Bow in Tang Xiaolei's hand, turning into a purple arrow.
Xu Sanshi's pupils suddenly contracted; Tang Xiaolei had actually used a soul ring as a bow and arrow.
An even more powerful aura erupted, and Tang Xiaolei drew the bow and nocked the string in one smooth motion, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
Xu Sanshi's scalp tingled instantly, and he quickly shouted, "Beibei!"
Beibei instantly understood Xu Sanshi's meaning and immediately unleashed four soul skills at once, forcefully repelling the Blood Wolf. The Blood Wolf lost its balance and froze for a second.
Xu Sanshi slammed his shield to the ground, and his body emitted a burst of dark light. At the same time, the Blood Wolf also emitted a burst of dark light.
"Mysterious Netherworld Swap!" The next moment, Xu Sanshi and Blood Wolf switched places.
Xu Sanshi immediately summoned the Xuanming Shield Formation. The shield was covered in a bright black light. Beibei stood behind Xu Sanshi, her right arm across his back and her left hand on her right arm.
Blood Wolf saw the purple arrow aimed at him and was so frightened that his fur stood on end. The next moment, the referee of the seventh ring pulled Blood Wolf away. The referee's intervention meant that Blood Wolf was disqualified.
Tang Xiaolei's eyelids twitched violently as he nearly killed his teammate. He was fully aware of his own terrifying attack power.
Beibei was positioned right in the path of the purple arrow. Xu Sanshi suddenly crouched down, forming an arc with the Xuan Turtle Shield, and braced it with his right shoulder. Beibei provided support from behind Xu Sanshi.
"Squeak~" The purple arrow grazed the Xuan Turtle Shield and changed direction.
A dazzling spark, accompanied by a piercing screeching sound, struck the protective shield directly.
"Screech—" A sharp whistle rang out, and what was shocking was that the protective shield composed of 108 Soul Masters seemed to have been pierced with a small hole, emitting a strange sound. Although it recovered in an instant and the purple arrow had completely disappeared, it had after all existed, which showed how amazing its penetrating power was.
"We surrender," Bei Bei shouted crisply. Tang Xiaolei had already nocked another purple arrow and aimed it at the two Bei brothers.
Xu Sanshi felt numbness in his right shoulder and a slight weakness in his entire right arm.
Originally, He Caitou and Xiao Xiao wanted to play to save their strength for the third match, but Ye Nanxiao had a bad feeling and seriously refused.
Although Xiao Xiao felt a lingering fear, her eyes remained incredibly firm.
Wang Yan was sweating profusely. If Ye Nanxiao hadn't stopped He Caitou and Xiao Xiao, this battle could have been described as heroic. It was foreseeable that Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron would have been shattered by Tang Xiaolei's arrows.
He Caitou approached Ye Nanxiao with a serious expression and asked, "Nanxiao, did you foresee something?"
He Caitou felt a deep sadness, a sorrow for his own weakness.
Ye Nanxiao patted He Caitou on the shoulder. "Don't overthink it. The future is bright."
These eight words, like sunshine, dispelled the dark cloud of sorrow in He Caitou's heart. He Caitou looked at Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao was also looking at He Caitou. After their eyes met for two seconds, Xiao Xiao looked away shyly, her face flushed, making her look very cute.
"I will become stronger, I will protect you." He Caitou thought firmly with unwavering determination in his eyes.
Ye Nanxiao pondered, his gaze lingering on Bei Bei, He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong.
The remaining match included one Soul King, including Ye Wuqing, and two Soul Masters.
Ye Nanxiao could foresee that Ye Wuqing would definitely bring a support-type Soul Master with him.
However, Jiang Nannan and Bei Bei's attack methods have already been discovered by the opposing side. If they go on the field again, they might get injured. Although Jiang Nannan has a defensive soul tool forged by Ye Nanxiao's blood, Ye Nanxiao does not want to expose this soul tool prematurely.
Ye Nanxiao met Huo Yuhao's firm gaze, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said, "Wang Dong, Yuhao, it's our turn."
Well, how to put it... well, Lu Xiaozi needs to prepare for exams, and he's been writing and posting every day on the fly, checking each chapter dozens of times after writing it. This might affect the update speed, but Lu Xiaozi will make sure there aren't any major flaws or obvious logical loopholes before posting. Errors in previous chapters have also been corrected immediately. It's a bit of a shame that this book has so few favorites, but I started writing it because I wanted to, so Lu Xiaozi won't abandon it. Currently, there aren't many readers, and I don't know when it will be officially released, but it's not a big problem. Emmm, thank you to all the readers who have read, favorited, and voted for this book! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
