Chapter 81 Solo Show
The first day was the elimination rounds, and the next two days were a rare opportunity for everyone to rest. Wang Yan was incredibly busy during these two days, rarely seen, and nobody knew what he was up to. ✌😳 ➅➈ѕ𝓱𝔲乂.𝔠𝓞𝐦 ☟🐠
Ye Nanxiao was the same; he was rarely seen. When Huo Yuhao asked him about it once, Jiang Nannan replied that he was adjusting his state.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day of the competition that Wang Yan gathered all the team members in the conference room for a meeting.
"Xiao Tao, how are your injuries?" Wang Yan asked. The injuries of the Shrek Academy's regular players were Wang Yan's biggest concern.
"As for me, if I rest and recuperate, I'll be fine in a few days. If you need to force me to take action, just let me prepare, but it will aggravate my injuries," Ma Xiaotao replied.
"I'm almost done," Ling Luochen said.
"I can't be that fast, it will take at least five days," Dai Yueheng said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "That's good." He turned to look at Bei Bei and the others and said, "You fought very well in your first battle and showed our spirit. I've been paying attention to the competition and various opinions these past two days, and it's clear that they all regard Yu Hao as our leader."
Beibei smiled slightly and said, "That's exactly right."
Huo Yuhao blushed and said, "Senior Brother, please don't tease me. My brother is here, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Ye, who was sprawled on the sofa in the corner of the conference room.
Mr. Ye was slumped on the sofa with a look of utter despair, staring at the ceiling with a lifeless expression in his eyes.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's expression, Ma Xiaotao asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Nannan. Bei Bei and the other men looked at her with a bit of a strange expression. They hadn't heard anything at night recently, and the room was soundproof.
Jiang Nannan blushed slightly, turned her head to the other side, and said, "I don't know."
Ye Nanxiao, who was lying down, looked at Jiang Nannan with a resentful expression. He wondered which rabbit was playing with fire at night instead of sleeping. Ye Nanxiao almost couldn't hold back several times. If he didn't have to maintain his condition for the competition, he would have stood up in a minute.
Ignoring Ye Nanxiao's resentful gaze, Jiang Nannan coughed and said, "Teacher Wang, what's the next tactical arrangement?"
This tactic of diverting attention was very effective, and everyone's attention returned to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao are students I taught, and I am quite familiar with their abilities. However, I don't know much about you, so I hope you can tell me your soul skills so that I can make better tactical arrangements for the future."
Soul skills are one of the most crucial secrets for Soul Masters, but in the current situation, Wang Yan's request is very clear.
Beibei was the first to state her soul skills: "No problem, my soul skills are..."
After finishing, he explained the characteristics and abilities of the soul skill in detail. Then Jiang Nannan and the others explained it. When it was He Caitou's turn, there was a lot of laughter.
When the Hongchen siblings, who were passing by outside, heard the laughter coming from the Shrek Academy meeting room, Xiao Hongchen clenched his fist and said somewhat displeasedly, "Are you laughing so happily because you're completely stress-free?"
Looking at the conference room door, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but think, "When will Ye Nanxiao take the stage? I really want to see him."
After laughing, Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye, who was slumped in the corner, and said, "Xiaoxiaozi, it's your turn."
Wang Yan hadn't originally planned to ask about Ye Nanxiao's soul skills, as he had records of almost every battle Ye Nanxiao had fought. However, since Ye Nanxiao had broken through to the Soul King realm and obtained a new soul ring without anyone knowing, Wang Yan wanted to see it for himself.
Ye Nanxiao said lazily, "You all know the first four. My latest soul skill is called 'Frozen Thousand Miles,' which means I can create a large area of ice mist to freeze the field, and at the same time, I can condense ice spikes of different sizes to pierce the field."
Wang Yan's eyes lit up; it was another wide-area soul skill. He quickly asked, "How large an area can it freeze?"
Ye Nanxiao opened his eyes, his tone revealing a hint of arrogance: "If I wanted, the entire venue would be covered in ice and snow."
Ling Luochen stared at Ye Nanxiao with wide eyes. She could control ice over a large area, but she couldn't maintain a large area while precisely controlling the ice elements within it, let alone Ye Nanxiao, who was an expert in ultimate ice.
Dai Yueheng smiled bitterly and sighed inwardly. Although he was a level above Ye Nanxiao, Ye Nanxiao might not necessarily lose in a real fight, given how powerful his ultimate attributes were.
Wang Yan laughed and said, "Everyone, try Cai Tou's cigar enhancement. Let Cai Tou make ten sets first."
Wang Yan was very confident about the upcoming matches. Unexpectedly, the biggest surprise was not Ye Nanxiao or Huo Yuhao, but He Caitou, a genius food-type soul master.
After the experiment, Wang Yan asked everyone to accept a set of He Caitou's cigars, but Wang Dong and Ye Nanxiao resolutely refused. Wang Yan had no choice but to dismiss the meeting.
On the way back to their room, Jiang Nannan asked curiously, "Ah Xiao, why didn't you want Cai Tou's cigar?"
Ye Nanxiao rested his head on his arms, a cautious glint in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid the amplification won't just be limited to Soul Masters."
Jiang Nannan frowned slightly. She and Ye Nanxiao were already in sync and knew what Ye Nanxiao was talking about. Jiang Nannan subconsciously touched her smooth forehead, where a contract was hidden.
Ye Nanxiao smiled, reached out and took Jiang Nannan's soft, boneless hand, "Don't worry, nothing should be able to stop us in this competition."
Wang Yan did not assign Ye Nanxiao a partner. Jiang Nannan was assigned to a group with Bei Bei. According to Wang Yan, Ye Nanxiao has strong control abilities and his offensive capabilities are not low. He is an all-around backup.
A girl with a silver ponytail walked towards them. Upon seeing Ye Nanxiao, the girl greeted him warmly, saying, "Nanxiao, do you remember me?"
Noticing Jiang Nannan's small hand tightening around his, Ye Nanxiao broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a detached tone, "Meng Hongchen, is something the matter?"

Ignoring the coldness in Ye Nanxiao's tone, Meng Hongchen looked at Jiang Nannan and asked, "Is she your girlfriend? She's very beautiful."
"Thank you." Jiang Nannan accepted Meng Hongchen's praise.
"I'm leaving now, looking forward to seeing you on the field." Meng Hongchen hummed an unknown tune and left, leaving Ye Nanxiao completely confused.
Ye Nanxiao's expression suddenly turned serious. A small hand was pinching and rotating the soft flesh around his waist.
"Let me explain," Ye Nanxiao said weakly.
On the fourth day of the competition, the weather was gloomy.
The round-robin tournament began, and when the dark green competition uniforms appeared in the entrance passage of the participating academies, the entire Xingluo Square erupted in cheers.
After the draw, the referee announced via a megaphone, "Shrek Academy vs. Yunluo Academy, one-on-one match."
Beibei said to Wang Yan, "Let me go, Teacher Wang."
Wang Yan shook his head. "Nan Xiao, go for this match. Yun Luo comes from Xing Luo and is an academy that focuses on training Soul Masters, so their strength won't be too high. We only have one reserve team member, and we need to ensure that you don't get injured. So, Nan Xiao, go for this match."
Ye Nanxiao loosened his back, making popping sounds like beans popping, and turned to Bei Bei, saying, "Relax, it's my performance time now."
"You are not allowed to use soul skills above the third level," Wang Yan reminded.
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand casually.
"That's kind of cool," He Caitou said.
"She probably just wants to vent," Beibei said, glancing at Jiang Nannan out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Nannan blushed slightly and whispered in Ye Nanxiao's ear, "If you win, I'll give you a reward."
Ye Nanxiao's expression immediately turned serious, and he held up two fingers, saying, "Twice."
Jiang Nannan covered her cheeks with her small hands and nodded slightly.
"Oh~~" the crowd exclaimed.
Ye Nanxiao seemed to have been injected with stimulants in an instant. He jumped onto the competition stage and shouted at Yun Luo, "Hurry up! Time is precious!"
The students of Yunluo saw Ye Nanxiao's arrogance, but dared not utter a word of rebuttal because of the dark green school uniform he was wearing.
The student from Yunluo Academy who came on stage forced a smile and greeted him, saying, "Hello, senior, my name is Ma Yingjun. Please go easy on me."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and start." Ye Nanxiao said impatiently. If he were wearing a black overcoat at this moment, he would look exactly like a mafia godfather.
"The match begins!" At the referee's command, Ma Yingjun immediately activated his flying soul tool. However, less than three seconds after takeoff, a bone-chilling coldness came from the back of his neck, followed by the referee's voice: "Shrek Academy wins."
The entire audience erupted in cheers. Although most people didn't understand what had happened—Ye Nanxiao hadn't even moved from his spot before the match ended—their fervent admiration for Shrek Academy fueled their cheers.
"What happened?" Xu Sanshi looked bewildered, as did He Caitou, Beibei, and the others around him.
Huo Yuhao, whose eyes were gleaming with a faint golden light, noticed Ye Nanxiao's little trick and explained, "I condensed a small ice needle on the back of that student's neck and released the aura of extreme ice at the same time, freezing the contestant."
Wang Yan praised, "As expected of Nanxiao, your control over ice is indeed powerful. You used your opponent's mindset to condense ice needles without them noticing, making everyone think that we won easily like last time."
After listening to Wang Yan's analysis, Bei Bei and the others suddenly understood.
At the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, Xiao Hongchen stared wide-eyed in disbelief, asking, "What did he do?" Ma Rulong beside him was also deep in thought, while Elder Ma, the most powerful cultivator, was also pondering Ye Nanxiao's methods.
Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes sparkled, clearly showing that her focus was different from Xiao Hongchen's.
Ma Yingjun waved and said, "Thank you for going easy on me, senior."
"Hello, goodbye~" Ye Nanxiao waved back.
Back at the rest area, Captain Yunluo immediately asked Ye Nanxiao what methods he had used. Ma Yingjun touched the back of his neck and said, "I'm not sure. A bone-chilling coldness was on the back of my neck. That coldness prevented me from using my martial spirit, and then I was eliminated."
"Looks like an ice-attribute Soul Master. Shangyue, you go," Captain Yunluo said.
A female team member sprang to her feet and quickly jumped onto the competition platform.
Ye Nanxiao saw that the girl who came on stage was quite good-looking, with long legs that rivaled Nan Nan's. Ye Nanxiao had only glanced at her twice when he immediately felt two cold gazes behind him. He immediately became serious and stared straight ahead.
Beibei and He Caitou subtly moved towards Xu Sanshi, looking at Jiang Nannan with a smile on her pretty face in horror.
"Ip Man of the Tang Clan, please enlighten me," Ye Nanxiao said solemnly, striking a pose.
Whether intimidated by Ye Nanxiao's serious expression or actions, Shangyue focused on finding opportunities to attack Ye Nanxiao from the start of the match.
"Strange, how come this person is full of flaws?" Shangyue wondered.
The next moment, Shangyue felt an extreme cold coming from her legs. Looking down, she saw that her legs had been frozen solid, and a tiny ice needle was floating in front of her.
Although extremely unwilling, Shangyue still shouted to the referee, "I concede."
The referee's gaze towards Ye Nanxiao also turned fiery; he had never seen such a peculiar attack method in his life.
