Chapter 88 The Pride of a Genius
The faces of the Thousand Spirits Academy team members were filled with resentment, especially An Lengye, who still possessed a head spirit bone, yet was eliminated by Jiang Nannan's single set of spirit skills before she could even use it. 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
"Oh? Are you unwilling?" Ye Nanxiao noticed An Lengye staring fiercely at Jiang Nannan, walked over and stood in front of Jiang Nannan, staring at An Lengye with emotionless eyes.
The moment An Lengye's eyes met Ye Nanxiao's, she heard the mournful howl of her own martial soul, the Frost Giant Bear. The next moment, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. The majesty emanating from Ye Nanxiao terrified An Lengye. If her legs hadn't gone weak, the fear in her heart would have made her kneel down and submit on the spot.
The teacher in charge of the team from Qianling Academy quickly noticed An Lengye's situation, and quickly blocked their view. He gave Ye Nanxiao a deep look and led An Lengye back to the waiting area of Qianling Academy.
"Don't bully the girl." Jiang Nannan dragged Ye Nanxiao back to his seat.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's actions, Xu Sanshi, who was not far away, couldn't help but twitch his right eyelid, thinking to himself, "Luckily, Jiang Nannan wasn't injured, otherwise I would be finished today."
This match was a showcase of Shrek Academy's full strength. Although they didn't go all out, before this, almost all the academies had focused on in-depth research into Huo Yuhao and Ye Nanxiao's combat abilities. However, today's magnificent team battle left all the academies bewildered.
No academy, including the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, could get a definite answer after their research. In their eyes, Shrek Academy was like a fog.
Such a young Soul Emperor, Huo Yuhao? Ye Nanxiao, who can take on an entire academy by himself? And what other monsters are the rest?
Shen Ce glanced deeply at the smiling Shrek Academy members, then turned and helped his injured teammate away. He already regretted not applying to Shrek Academy in the first place.
If he could go to Shrek Academy, he would be one of the "monsters" there.
Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner of the eastern stands, two burly men draped in black robes stood quietly, a stark contrast to the enthusiastic cheering crowd around them.
The two spoke in hushed tones, "We didn't see that boy go on stage today. Shall we go back and report?"
"Let's wait and see, he'll get his chance eventually," said the man in black robes on the left.
"The longer this goes on, the easier it will be for us to be exposed. Now is not the time for the cult leader's plan to take effect," the man on the right said in a deep voice.
"You go back and report first. I'll stay and continue to observe. My spirit perception is special. I sensed a very powerful evil force from the spirit of that white-haired student from Shrek Academy. He might be the Holy Son." The man on the left raised his head, revealing a pale and effeminate face.
"Okay, be careful in everything you do, I'll wait for your news." The man on the right turned and walked away quickly.
The effeminate man watched Ye Nanxiao, who was spreading sweets, and his gaze lingered on Jiang Nannan. After a long while, he suddenly smiled strangely.
"Hmm?" Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt a sharp edge behind him. He looked around in confusion but found nothing unusual. He scratched his head and followed Wang Yan and his group back to the Star Emperor Hotel.
Just as Ye Nanxiao and his group arrived at the hotel, Hongchen and his sister followed closely behind.
Meng Hongchen sighed and said, "It's such a pity that Nanxiao didn't play in today's team battle."
Xiao Hongchen said coldly, "Are you planning to keep him as a secret team member? If so, Ye Nanxiao shouldn't have been the one to deal with Qianling Academy that day."
"To the conference room." Wang Yan led everyone directly to Shrek Academy's conference room.
Wang Yan looked at the Shrek Seven Devils and Ye Nanxiao sitting around him, took a deep breath, and said sincerely, "Children, thank you very much for defending the honor of the academy. However, as reserve members, neither the academy nor I personally will have too high expectations of you."
Beibei smiled gently and said, "Teacher Wang, let's discuss the next tactics."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan looked at them intently and asked, "Are you really sure?"
Led by Bei Bei, the Shrek Seven Devils stood up at the same time, their eyes fixed on him with unwavering determination. Not one of them showed any fear, not even Xiao Xiao, who was actually the weakest in terms of overall strength. Ye Nanxiao was also lifted up by Jiang Nannan.
"I am proud of you all!" Wang Yan, true to her nature, ignored Ye Nanxiao's lazy expression, her eyes welled up with tears, and her face flushed slightly.
"Our next opponent is the team that lost to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy in the previous quarterfinals. They have three Soul Kings and four Soul Grandmasters. Their captain is known as a once-in-a-millennium talent. Elder Xuan once commented that if he could come to Shrek Academy, he would definitely be able to break through to Soul Emperor before the age of twenty," Wang Yan said after gesturing for everyone to sit down.
As they listened to Wang Yan's account, the expressions of the Shrek Academy students grew even more serious.
The geniuses that Elder Xuan predicted are like Soul Emperor level experts such as Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao; who could easily defeat them?
Wait, facing a genius equivalent to a Soul Emperor?
Everyone looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was slumped over the table, even the slowest to react, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
Wang Yan smiled and said, "So next, I plan to let Nan Xiao take the stage in place of Xiao Xiao."
"According to my research, this person has a very arrogant personality. Therefore, facing us Shrek will only increase his desire to fight, and he will never back down. However, when it comes to pride, we have someone even stronger than him."
After Wang Yan finished speaking, he looked at Ye Nanxiao.
Jiang Nannan grabbed Ye Nanxiao's fox ears, instantly making him serious.
Wang Dong seemed to understand why Ye Nanxiao hadn't retracted his fox ears.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Ye Nanxiao asked in confusion. His consciousness had been directly traveling to the Sea of Spirit to talk with the Snow Emperor. The feeling he had just experienced in Star Luo Square made him feel very strange.
"Nanxiao, you'll replace Xiaoxiao in the next team battle," Wang Yan said.
"Okay, no problem," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"We have a pretty good chance of winning the next match, whether it's a team battle or an individual match," Wang Yan said, leaving Ye Nanxiao behind and letting the others go back first.
Looking at the still lazy Ye Nanxiao, Wang Yan said helplessly, "Nanxiao, can't you change your personality?"
"Yes, I tried, but it failed," Ye Nanxiao replied.
"Although Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen have recovered from their injuries, I don't plan to let them play yet. You're confident tomorrow, right?" Wang Yan stared intently at Ye Nanxiao, trying to find a trace of emotion on Ye Nanxiao's face.
After all, that person's cultivation level was already extremely close to that of a Soul Emperor, while Ye Nanxiao had only recently broken through to the Soul King level. Wang Yan was still somewhat worried.
"Which college? Never mind, I wouldn't know even if you told me." Ye Nanxiao stood up and stretched.
"Zhengtian Academy, also surnamed Ye like you, this time the team leader is Ye Wuqing," Wang Yan said in a deep voice.
"This person is extremely arrogant and is very close to becoming a Soul Emperor. Be careful," Wang Yan said.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand, opened the conference room door and left, a faint red tinge appearing in his dark eyes.
Arrogant? Genius? You're kidding, I haven't even said anything yet.
"Let me see the sparks that fly when two proud geniuses collide," Wang Yan thought.
Meanwhile, in another conference room, Old Ma, sitting at the head of the table, asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what did you see today?"
The students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy fell silent.
One of the regular team members couldn't help but ask, "Old Ma, is that Shrek Academy member really a six-ring Soul Emperor? And all of them have 100,000-year Soul Rings?"
"Fool, have you ever seen a Soul Master whose entire set of Soul Rings are 100,000 years old? I've observed that mysterious student; judging from his age, he's probably only thirteen or fourteen. At that age, even if someone started cultivating from the womb, they wouldn't reach the Soul Emperor level. Shrek Academy must have used some special method to cover it up," Old Ma said disdainfully.
The selected team member said somewhat unconvinced, "Then how come he rendered an Ice Control Soul Master incapacitated the moment he made his move today? A Soul King certainly doesn't have that kind of ability, and even an ordinary Soul Emperor couldn't do that."
"It should be attribute clash or spirit suppression." Ma Rulong said in a deep voice, "Old Ma is right. That boy could not be a Soul Emperor. The only explanation is attribute clash or spirit suppression. According to my estimate, the boy's true cultivation level is at most a four-ring Soul Master. For his age, this is already quite amazing. As for the reason why he is so strong, I estimate there is only one possibility, which is twin spirits."
Sitting opposite Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but raise his head, nod slightly at Ma Rulong, and reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Although Xiao Hongchen was arrogant, he was somewhat impressed by Ma Rulong's wisdom.
"However, just as his age is his biggest flaw," Ma Rulong said.
Xiao Hongchen frowned, looking at Ma Rulong with displeasure. "So, according to you, if we're the same age, I'm inferior to him?"
Ma Rulong said calmly, "Not only that, there's also Ye Nanxiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Hongchen frowned even more and said, "It's hard to say. Who can say for sure without actually touching him? Even if that mysterious boy has twin martial souls, I am also a dual cultivator of soul master and soul master. At the same age, his soul power may not be able to cultivate to my level."
"What about Ye Nanxiao?" Ma Rulong asked.
Laughing at the world, he remained silent.
"Let's not talk about that now, let's hear the analysis first," Ma Rulong said, waving his hand.
"That mysterious student's cultivation level is at most Soul Master. His twin martial souls should be one ice attribute martial soul and one mental attribute martial soul. Among the mental attribute soul skills, there must be one that can directly launch a mental attack. Today, Shen Ce of Qianling Academy was affected by his mental soul skill and failed on his first attack, which led to the team's final defeat."
Ma Rulong sat up straight and said seriously, "But Ye Nanxiao's martial soul must be very high-level. Jiang Nannan and Ye Nanxiao are a couple. Jiang Nannan eliminated An Lengye today. An Lengye was not convinced after the match, but he was defeated by Ye Nanxiao's glare without any resistance. An Lengye's Frost Giant Bear martial soul is not low-quality either. So, the reason for An Lengye's defeat is either a pure suppression of ice attribute grade, or his soul power level is far superior to his opponent under the same conditions. But considering An Lengye's soul power level, I am more inclined to the former."
Old Ma nodded. Ma Rulong's analysis was spot on, after all, he was someone Old Ma thought highly of.
Old Ma turned to Meng Hongchen beside Xiao Hongchen and asked, "Meng Hongchen, your martial soul also has the ice attribute. What do you think of this Ye Nanxiao?"
