Chapter 205 Catching a Big Fish
After a brief moment of surprise, the referee raised his right hand and announced the result of the match: "The winner is Ye Nanxiao from Shrek Academy!"
The entire event fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a clamor from the audience, mostly filled with shouts of abuse and calls for help.
"Where did that guy who opened the sale go?! That's the copper crystal I spent months trading for!"
"He got away! Go find him!"
"That kid definitely knows something inside!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 had already quietly slipped away while Ye Nanxiao's soul skill had stunned everyone, carrying two sacks of rare metals.
On the field, Zi Mu sadly put away his soul tool and looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was slowly floating down opposite him.
"Flying on a sword, why is it all about flying on a sword? If the sword isn't big enough, it's hard to step on. What if you slip and lose your foot? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?" Ye Nanxiao crossed his arms, his expression calm, muttering to himself as he made small, constant movements to ensure he was standing firmly on the sword.
"Couldn't you conjure up a bigger sword?" Xue Di said, "Big enough for you to lie on and roll over on it."
"That scene wasn't cool enough!" Ye Nanxiao replied seriously.
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing. No wonder you're from Shrek Academy." Zi Mu forced a smile and walked up to Ye Nanxiao.
"Thank you for your kind offer." Ye Nanxiao extended his right hand.
Seeing this, Zi Mu smiled, extended his right hand and shook hands with Ye Nanxiao. He wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; he just really liked oranges.
"Excuse me, is there a fee for using the venue?" Ye Nanxiao asked as they walked.
"Specifically, a rare metal needs to be paid as a usage fee for the arena," Zimu said.
"Then why don't you give me that cloud crystal to pay the fees at the arena? I still need to play a few more matches." Ye Nanxiao patted Zi Mu on the shoulder.
"Do you still want to stay here?" Orange, who came forward to greet the two, asked after hearing Ye Nanxiao's words.
"Since we're already here, how can we not take a proper look around? That's a rare metal!" Ye Nanxiao said with a pained expression.
Upon hearing this, Keke's eyes darted around. She tugged at Ju Zi's sleeve and whispered in Ju Zi's ear, "Ye Nanxiao seems really poor. Why don't you lend me some rare metals, and I'll take care of Ye Nanxiao?"
Lacking rare metals? This person simply doesn't want to provide them themselves, Orange thought with a cold laugh.
After ruffling Keke's hair, Ju Zi looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "How long do you want to play?"
"It's just catching one fish, it won't take long," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Fishing?" Orange looked puzzled. There was no pond or water in the surrounding area.
"What are you up to?" Orange asked telepathically using her soul power.
"Catch a big fish, and this fish has an unusual fondness for swords," Ye Nanxiao said telepathically.
"You like it, right? I'm going back now. Remember to look for me." After sending the message, Orange pulled Keke away.
"Well then, Ye Nanxiao, we'll be going now." Zi Mu pulled Wang Shaojie, who looked displeased, and followed behind Ju Zi.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the students who hadn't left the stands yet, and walked to the center of the arena under the watchful eyes of the entire audience. He waved his hand and conjured an ice monument that was two people tall and one person wide.
The appearance of the ice monument attracted everyone's attention.
"Inscribe a monument to seek defeat! Win and receive rare metals for free! Come and compete, my friend!" A student with good eyesight shouted out the contents of the ice monument.
"Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!"
"The honor of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy must not be dishonored!"
"Call for help! Quickly, get Ma Rulong and the others over here!"
A commotion broke out in the audience, and many people got up and left, all to call for help.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and conjured a recliner. He lay down comfortably on it, holding a few oranges in his hand, and leisurely rocked back and forth, completely ignoring the jeers from the audience.
Mingde Hall, Xiao Hongchen's private experimental zone.
"Ye Nanxiao? Requesting battle?" Xiao Hongchen looked at the subordinate who came to report the news with a surprised expression.
"The news is true. Ye Nanxiao is sitting in the arena waiting for the challengers," the scout, dressed casually, replied respectfully.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave." Xiao Hongchen waved for the scout to leave, squinting as he pondered Ye Nanxiao's intentions.
"Little sister, guess what Ye Nanxiao is planning?" Xiao Hongchen said.
"I can't be sure about that, but Ye Nanxiao has big ambitions. He's probably got his eye on something this time," Meng Hongchen said with a smile as she stepped out from behind the screen next to Xiao Hongchen.
"They might be here to test the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's fighting style. However, according to intelligence, few of the Soul Guidance Masters of this generation can defeat Ye Nanxiao, and Ma Rulong isn't much better either," Xiao Hongchen shook his head and offered his guess.
"It's a pity my cultivation level is too low. Otherwise, once Ye Nanxiao has exhausted his energy, I could have injected my original ice poison into his body and made him mine," Meng Hongchen said with a look of ecstasy.
"It'll be soon, Grandpa has almost finished making the preparations. I'll lend you a hand then," Xiao Hongchen said.
"How much longer? I've been waiting for too long. If we wait for Shrek's exchange group to arrive, we'll have far fewer opportunities to make our move." Meng Hongchen said, walking towards the gate of the experimental area.
"I'll arrange for a few people to keep Nanxiao company first."
"Almost there, almost there," Xiao Hongchen muttered to himself, standing up and looking at the center of the experimental area. There, there was a huge screen displaying monitoring data from a soul tool, with soul power content exceeding 100,000.
After Ye Nanxiao challenged him to battle, spies from all sides were busy preparing, and Soul Masters continued to set off with their most satisfactory Soul Tools.
Ye Nanxiao remained seated in the recliner, effortlessly wielding his greatsword to deflect the soul guidance rays launched by the opposing soul master. Simultaneously, the greatsword launched a surprise attack, striking the referee who was standing in front of the soul master.
"Bang!" The greatsword slammed into the soul guide shield. The referee's face turned ugly. This was his sixth one-time soul guide shield. Although he could apply for reimbursement, the process was cumbersome, and he didn't know how many smiles he would have to put on later.
Faced with the massive attack and the biting cold, he, with only the cultivation of a Soul Saint, dared not risk his reputation as a referee by using the Soul Power Wall, after all, he was just an ordinary Soul Saint.
"The winner is Ye Nanxiao!" The referee announced, and the audience remained lively.
Ye Nanxiao leisurely rocked his recliner, controlling his giant sword to draw a smiley face in the air, waiting for the next challenger.
"Could it be that I'm not going to catch anything? Why aren't the fish taking the bait?" Ye Nanxiao looked at the sky, somewhat worried that he might not be arrogant enough to attract the fish's attention.
The snowflake soul core within his body spun rapidly, constantly drawing upon the flow of soul power to restore itself.
After defeating six challengers while reclining on a deck chair, Ye Nanxiao had basically recovered the soul power he had previously consumed. Facing the Soul Master who didn't know how to fight in close combat, Ye Nanxiao didn't expend much energy, only controlling his greatsword to cut through the cannonballs.
"The next challenger."
Ye Nanxiao turned his head. The voice sounded familiar, as if it belonged to someone he knew.
Xuan Ziwen stood not far from Ye Nanxiao, looking at him.
"Old Xuan, you've come to join the fun too?" Ye Nanxiao asked, tossing an orange over at the same time.
Xuan Ziwen caught the orange, looked at it in his palm, and asked, "How come you have an orange?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao didn't immediately understand Xuan Ziwen's question.
"No nesting dolls! The orange is for me," Ye Nanxiao said.
"You two seem to have a good relationship, so I'm relieved." Xuan Ziwen handed the orange back to Ye Nanxiao and shouted, "Next challenger!"
"Old Xuan isn't the only one who's here." Ye Nanxiao looked at the people floating in the air above the audience seats.
In mid-air, Jing Hongchen was also watching Ye Nanxiao, who was hovering in the air entirely on his own cultivation without relying on the power of a flying soul tool.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Nanxiao also noticed many people with cold expressions, dressed in black robes, while in the audience, many students wearing Mingde Hall uniforms were excitedly shouting "praise!"
"Wow, all these are sharks!" Ye Nanxiao exclaimed in surprise.
"What kind of trouble have you caused? What are you so surprised about?" Xuan Ziwen dismissed the original referee and took over as the referee himself.
"It was just fishing, who knew it would be sharks." Ye Nanxiao waved his hand.
"Did you catch any fish?" Xuan Ziwen gestured for the challenger who had just come up to get ready.
"Not yet, but I can't fly." Ye Nanxiao controlled the greatsword to float in front of him.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao and Xuan Ziwen talking like that, without even glancing at him, Dong Hao, who had stepped onto the arena, was furious.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy! Level 5 Soul Guidance Master! Dong Hao!" Dong Hao roared.
"The match begins." Xuan Ziwen did not hesitate at all after hearing Dong Hao's roar and quickly announced the start of the match.
The sound of metal scraping against metal rang out from Dong Hao's body. His arms were covered with thick metal, his upper body was covered with a metal armor, and two thick cannon barrels extended from his back.
The cannon barrel behind Dong Hao turned around, aimed at Ye Nanxiao, and began to charge up. Dong Hao raised his arms and fired a series of small soul-guided rays.
Seeing the bright yellow light emanating from Dong Hao's cannon, Ye Nanxiao immediately realized it was a level 5 explosive shell. He joined his fingers together like a sword and controlled the greatsword to move forward.
"It's no use, I've already figured out your attack methods!" Dong Hao clasped his hands together, and the soul-guided rays on his arms merged together.
The soul-guided ray struck the greatsword but did not explode. Instead, it stuck to the greatsword like thick putty, making a sizzling sound.
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao's greatsword was stuck, Dong Hao's explosive projectile shot out from behind him.
"Kid! Get down here!" Dong Hao shouted excitedly.
The explosive bullet was very fast, arriving in front of Ye Nanxiao in almost the blink of an eye.
However, Dong Hao's excited expression quickly froze as he saw Ye Nanxiao wield an ice blade and slice the explosive bullet he had charged up into two pieces, freezing it in mid-air.
The greatsword, controlled by the sticky rays, split into dozens of ice swords that rained down on him.
Dong Hao hurriedly activated his defensive measures, and three layers of level 5 soul guidance shields lit up on his body in an attempt to salvage the situation.
Xuan Ziwen sighed softly and flashed to protect Dong Hao, whose soul guide shield had already shattered.
"Why do all these Soul Masters like to start with their ultimate beam attack? Even Daigo isn't as reckless as you?"
The next moment, Ye Nanxiao stood up. He saw the next challenger, holding a long sword, ready to enter the arena.
"A fisherman never comes home empty-handed." Ye Nanxiao smiled as he looked at the fish that had already taken the bait.
