Chapter 254 The Expected "Acquaintance"
Among the team members from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy who were about to take the stage, Ye Nanxiao was not surprised at all to see Nana, who was known as the Ghost.
In Nana's hands, the two daggers resembled two blooming dark flowers, and she herself was like a nimble hunter strangling her target.
Nana attacked Huo Yuhao like a blur, her speed so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
He Caitou took the detection mirror that Ye Nanxiao had recently added to the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and used the soul tool to capture Nana's fast-moving body.
Both Ye Nanxiao and Huo Yuhao had a gleam in their eyes, their gazes fixed on Nana's true form.
"This girl is quite tall, and her legs are so long!" Ye Nanxiao pinched his chin, secretly comparing his height to her own, and then couldn't help but smack his lips, wondering if he had been drinking more milk and less goji berry tea.
"Focus on the game! Don't get caught up in other irrelevant things!"
A delicate shout came from Xue Di, accompanied by a brief tingling sensation in his mental sea, causing Ye Nanxiao to forcefully shift his gaze away from Nana's long legs.
Fan Yu crossed his arms, watching the battle unfold with a serious expression. He said in a deep voice, "It seems Yu Hao won't have an easy time winning this battle. I've heard about this girl from Lin Jiayi. She belongs to the actual control soul guidance system, and her combat skills are extremely outstanding. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy even submitted a request to Mingde Hall to pair her with a soul guidance device. If I'm not mistaken, she will have a place on the Sun Moon team in the next National Soul Master Competition!"
"Nanxiao, what do you think?" Fanyu asked.
He Caitou and the others also turned their attention to Ye Nanxiao.
"Hmm, her legs are quite long," Ye Nanxiao said seriously.
Fan Yu kicked him, angrily saying, "I didn't ask you that! Can't you be serious for once! I'm asking about Yuhao's winning percentage!"
Ye Nanxiao dodged Fan Yu's attack by sidestepping, then shook a finger and said, "Don't be fooled by Yuhao's usual naivety and foolishness. This kid grew up following me around, he's incredibly cunning, and he has countless trump cards up his sleeve waiting to deal with me."
Upon hearing this, He Caitou scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Nanxiao, why is Junior Brother saving his trump card to deal with you?"
Before Ye Nanxiao could speak, Fan Yu interrupted, saying irritably, "Isn't it because someone likes to slack off and chase girls all day, pushing all the research projects onto Yuhao, and beating up Yuhao every now and then, calling it 'mutual learning and growth'?"
Ye Nanxiao turned his head away and looked at the wall, as if the person Fan Yu was talking about was not himself.
"You haven't gotten to the point yet!" Fan Yu urged.
"Ninety-nine percent chance is that Yuhao will win. You are his teacher. Yuhao's martial soul has such amazing soul skills. Let alone one agility-type, even three agility-types might not be able to gain an advantage against him, combined with what Elder Mu taught him." Ye Nanxiao shrugged and said.
Fan Yu nodded in deep agreement, ignoring Ye Nanxiao and focusing on Huo Yuhao's match.
"Asking and then leaving, how heartless! Ha, men." Ye Nanxiao scoffed, glancing casually at the VIP seating area. He felt an undisguised gaze fixed on him.
In the VIP section, Xu Tianran rested his right hand on the seat, his right hand clenched into a fist, staring at his face.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao looking over, a smile appeared on his lips.
Ju Zi had been observing Xu Tianran out of the corner of her eye. When she saw Xu Tianran smiling and looking directly at Ye Nanxiao, her heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.
She knew Xu Tianran well, and she suspected that after this match, Xu Tianran would make a move against Ye Nanxiao.
Xu Tianran smiled and said softly, "Tell the three of you to get ready."
In the VIP section, Xu Tianyuan and Luanfeng, who had been resting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes and twitched their ears slightly. After exchanging a glance, Luanfeng closed her eyes again. Xu Tianyuan waved to a soldier, whispered a few words to him, and then closed his eyes again.
On the arena, Nana's figure was ethereal as she abandoned her dagger and took out a short knife.
The dark red dagger in Nana's hand moved like a venomous snake, constantly striking Huo Yuhao's fists.
Huo Yuhao's fist was covered with a layer of ice crystals as he adopted a boxing stance. His left fist continuously blocked Nana's dagger, while his right fist seized the opportunity to strike Nana.
Nana's third spirit ring flashed, and she became ethereal. Huo Yuhao's punch actually passed through Nana's body and landed in empty space.
"Got it!" Nana seized the opportunity and was about to put the dagger to Huo Yuhao's neck.
Huo Yuhao observed Nana's every move and silently chanted in his mind, "Control the Crane and Capture the Dragon!"
The next moment, the dagger in Nana's hand was pulled away as if it had encountered a magnet.
Five dark golden blades sliced through the air, attacking Nana with the force of splitting a mountain.
Nana split into three, and a pale golden shield instantly appeared around her, while a faint black light flashed in her eyes.
A black stream of air rushed towards Huo Yuhao.
A wicked smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips, and the golden light in his eyes quickly faded.
Playing the vengeful spirit in front of me? My teacher is the Holy Lich King!
The black aura entered Huo Yuhao's body, disappearing without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Realizing that her connection with her "vengeful spirit" had been severed, Nana's face was filled with horror. The dagger in her hand fell to the ground, and she shouted, "I surrender!"
Jing Hongchen appeared beside Nana in an instant.
Huo Yuhao turned to look at Ye Nanxiao, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.
Ye Nanxiao shivered when Huo Yuhao glanced at him with those lifeless gray eyes. He stroked his chin and whispered, "Old Yi's teachings are really powerful. One glare and Nana was forced to kneel. The Ghost Martial Soul might be useful in Feng Shiyi's hands."
A soldier ran up to Jing Hongchen, bowed, and whispered a few words. Jing Hongchen's expression changed slightly, and he gave everyone a ten-minute rest.
Huo Yuhao jumped off the stage and plopped down on Ye Nanxiao's recliner, looking completely relaxed.
"I've already played a few rounds, it's your turn next, Onii-chan, right?" Huo Yuhao rubbed his butt and said with half-closed eyes.
A cross appeared on Ye Nanxiao's forehead as he said unhappily, "What, you've learned to steal my chair too? You're always picking up bad habits from that old drunkard!"
Huo Yuhao hummed twice and closed his eyes.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to roll up his sleeves in anger, a token in his arms vibrated rhythmically a few times.
Three long and two short – this was the warning signal that Ye Nanxiao and Ju Zi had agreed upon.
"Next, Shrek's team, please come up and continue the match," Jing Hongchen said, his eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao looked toward the entrance passage leading to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, and he felt a strong sense of hostility.
Huo Yuhao, with his keen senses, naturally sensed the astonishing hostility. His expression changed slightly as he looked at Ye Nanxiao.
"Looks like this rare metal deal won't be easy to make money on. Plans have changed. Remember to bet more when the market opens!" Ye Nanxiao walked slowly onto the arena, his face still showing a nonchalant expression.
A young man dressed in a dark red combat suit stepped onto the arena, his red eyes fixed on Ye Nanxiao.
"I didn't expect that an 'acquaintance' would actually come over." Ye Nanxiao waved and greeted them.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Mika!"
Unlike in the previous tournament, Mika has now swelled up considerably. His tight-fitting combat suit accentuates his muscular physique, and his demeanor has become much colder, with hatred filling his eyes.
Jing Hongchen looked at Mika with a hint of regret. He had once thought highly of Mika's talent, but unfortunately, after the latter's defeat in the previous competition, he fell into a phase of self-doubt and eventually used drugs to improve himself at any cost.
After Ma Rulong was forced to improve in the last competition, he has been recuperating ever since, and his condition has not improved.
Jing Hongchen sighed, and after both sides stood still, he raised his hand to announce the start of the match.
Ye Nanxiao quietly looked at Mika. He could feel the fluctuating soul power fluctuations on Mika's body, which was a characteristic of forcibly improving one's cultivation level through external force.
Mika also watched Ye Nanxiao quietly. Although anger was rising in his eyes, Mika remained calm. He knew that Ye Nanxiao's cultivation and martial spirit were very powerful, and he would not be a match for him in a head-on confrontation.
"Since the last tournament, I have realized that I am too weak to stand in front of you. Your sword not only shattered the Sun and Moon Team, but also my ambition! That sword left an indelible shadow in my heart. I tried everything I could, but I could never erase the shadow of your sword from my heart. So today I have come!" A flash of light appeared in Mika's hand, and a giant thunder sword appeared in his hand.
In the middle of the sword is a core magic array that extends in a straight line to the hilt. The greatsword has two single-edged tips, with wisps of lightning flowing and swirling between them.
Mika reached out and placed his hand on the circular core magic circle in the middle of the sword hilt. A dazzling light rose from the circular core magic circle, and six spirit rings rose from Mika's body.
With the help of drugs, Mika also stepped into the realm of a sixth-ring Soul Emperor.
Sensing the aura emanating from Mika and the soul power fluctuations emanating from the thunderous greatsword in Mika's hand, Ye Nanxiao slowly walked up, his martial soul instantly possessing him, with five soul rings floating behind Ye Nanxiao's head.
"The Thunder Greatsword in Mika's hand is at least a level seven peak soul tool, but Mika only has a level six cultivation. If he forcibly drives this Thunder Greatsword, I'm afraid Mika will be half crippled after the fight." Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with golden light as he explained Mika's situation.
"This is outrageous! This is sacrificing a student's future for a victory that doesn't even qualify as a formal competition!" He Caitou gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and veins bulging on his thick arms.
Fan Yu reached out and placed his hand on He Caitou, shook his head and said, "Judging from what Mika said, it seems that he voluntarily used drugs to overdraw his potential. It seems that Mika's hatred for Nanxiao is greater than we imagined."
Huo Yuhao frowned. Mika's voice was loud, so he naturally heard it too. But why did the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy send Mika out at this time, instead of saving him for the next National Soul Master Competition?
Could it be that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy already knows that Ye Nanxiao will not participate in the next National Soul Master Competition?
