Chapter 81 Exchange and Discussion "Master, I think selling tickets is a good idea. Who among those little guys in our academy is short of money? The wool comes from the sheep. This Shrek kid said he wanted to exchange ideas, but this is obviously robbery. Besides, there are a lot of places in the academy where money is spent recently. What do you think..." Lin Jiayi asked tentatively. Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "You go and arrange it." "Yes." Lin Jiayi responded. On the surface, it seems that Ye Qian'an is taking great advantage of the students by having them compete with each other in this academy. But in fact, if this matter is arranged properly, it can not only divert the students' attention, but also enhance their awareness of fighting against soul masters, increase the experience of soul masters in facing soul masters, and even learn more about Ye Qian'an's abilities, in preparation for the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition to be held in the Sun-Moon Empire. It can be said that it is killing two birds with one stone, and making money is secondary. On the other side, Ye Qian'an walked out of the guest room and the first people he saw were Huo Yuhao, He Caitou and the team leader Fan Yu. Although Ye Qian'an was wearing a mask now, they still recognized him quickly. “Brother Ye, have you been training in the Sun Moon Empire?” Huo Yuhao asked. Ye Qian nodded gently and said, "I guess so." Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of curiosity. He asked, "Brother Ye, what's going on with this competition? Why did you agree to compete with the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy?" "There are not enough rare metals for forging, so I came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to rob." Ye Qian'an said helplessly, spreading his hands. Huo Yuhao and the others looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.
He Caitou scratched his head and said, "Xiao An, you are really brave." Huo Yuhao nodded and said, “After this attack, I’m afraid Jing Hongchen has really realized that the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy lack experience in fighting soul masters. Even many soul masters don’t understand the fighting mode of soul masters with powerful martial spirits. Jing Hongchen also wants to use you, Brother Ye, to sound a warning to them, and also let them see how soul masters with powerful martial spirits fight in actual combat.” "We are all foxes who have practiced for thousands of years. No one should treat the other as a fool." Ye Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since I dared to come here, I naturally have my own plans. Jing Hongchen wants to use me, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?" "Qian, what are you going to do in this competition?" Fan Yu said thoughtfully. Ye Qian smiled and said, "They want to see my strength, so let's let them see it. I will leave a deep impression on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. It just so happens that I also have a weapon to test its power, so I will use it to test the waters with them." Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "Brother Ye, you have to perform well and let them know that people from Shrek Academy are not to be trifled with." He Caitou also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Xiao An, let them see how powerful you are." Ye Qian'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said, "I will show mercy." Fan Yu looked at Ye Qian'an with expectation in his eyes and said, "Qian'an, you have to be careful. After all, this is the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. They will definitely try their best to test your strength." "Then they have to be able to find out." Ye Qian said indifferently. After all, he came here purely to make money. It must be said that Lin Jiayi's efficiency was indeed very high, especially when Mingde Hall had just suffered a heavy blow, Jing Hongchen's instructions were quickly implemented. The news that the members who had represented Shrek Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition and the soul masters of the same level in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy quickly spread to every corner of the academy, and the latest notices were posted in front of every teaching building and dormitory. This exchange and competition will be held at the Soul Guide Trial Field of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy. The academy stipulates that all students without special circumstances must be present to watch the game. Students with cultivation above five rings can sign up to participate. There is no upper limit to the maximum registered cultivation level, and all participating students are required to purchase their own tickets to watch the game. If a contestant can defeat Shrek Academy, he/she will be qualified to enter Mingde Hall and will be rewarded with 100,000 gold soul coins and a soul guide customized for him/her by Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen. If he/she loses the competition, he/she will be fined one month's supply of soul guide production materials. The rules of the competition are quite simple, that is, to defeat Ye Qian. The entire competition will last for three days. Once the announcement was made, the number of students who signed up for the competition was even greater than expected. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy had lost to Shrek Academy in almost every Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. In the eyes of these students, this was a great opportunity for them to win honor for the Sun Moon Academy. In less than a day, the number of people who signed up for the competition exceeded three hundred. This incident also caused a great response among the exchange students who came to Shrek Academy for exchange and study. It was not until the announcement was posted that they learned that Ye Qian'an, who came to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to challenge the school, was actually the main player who represented Shrek Academy in the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition. Two days later, early in the morning. "Brother Ye, how are you preparing?" Huo Yuhao came to Ye Qian'an's door early in the morning and waited for him. Ye Qian'an nodded and said, "Everything is under control. By the way, what's the situation over there?" As he spoke, he twirled his fingers a few times. "There were many people placing bets at the opening. Half of them bet that you can't win 30 games, only a quarter bet that you can't win more than 60 games, and the rest bet that you can't win 100 games in three days. According to our previous plan, rare metals can be directly discounted and included in the bets. So far, we have received more than 4,000 kilograms of rare metals and nearly one million gold soul coins."
Huo Yuhao's words made Ye Qian'an's lips curl up slightly, revealing a smug smile: "There are indeed a lot of rare metals. It seems that this competition will be quite interesting." While the two were communicating, Fan Yu, He Cai Tou and other Shrek students also arrived. Fan Yu looked at Ye Qian and asked, "Are you ready?" Ye Qian nodded slightly and said, "No problem." Fan Yu said, "Don't be careless. Let me tell you, based on the stakes we've taken so far, if you lose within thirty games, we simply can't afford the compensation." Ye Qian spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, this is exactly what I want. When I'm on a winning streak, you guys can just start dumping the market to get the most benefit. I have enough funds." Fan Yu frowned slightly, "Are you sure there is no risk in doing this?" Ye Qianan said confidently: "This competition is a game. Only by acting boldly can we reap the greatest benefits." The Soul Guide Trial Field is the largest building on the ground in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy. It can accommodate 10,000 people at the same time. Between the spectator seats and the central testing field, there is a linked defense system composed of multiple defensive soul guides. Although it was early in the morning, the entire soul guide trial field was already packed. The total number of teachers and students in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy was close to twelve thousand, including Mingde Hall. Not only did the students want to see the difference in combat between soul masters and soul guides, but the teachers were also curious. In order to prepare for this competition, the academy officially suspended classes for three days. Lin Jiayi also spent some time thinking about the selection of the referee for this match, and finally he invited Xuan Ziwen. Originally Lin Jiayi thought that Xuan Ziwen would refuse, but unexpectedly, after hearing his proposal, this number one researcher who had nothing else in his eyes except research actually agreed very readily. The reason was that he also wanted to see how strong the soul master who could represent Shrek Academy was. "Okay, everyone be quiet." Lin Jiayi's dignified voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide, "Now we will begin the exchange and competition. Shrek Academy will send Ye Qian'an, one of their exchange students who participated in the previous All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, to compete with everyone. This exchange competition will be judged by Mingde Hall researcher and academy special teacher Xuan Ziwen, and I will be the host. Next, please welcome Ye Qian'an from Shrek Academy to enter." The entrance to the Soul Guide Trial Field was quietly opened, and a group of students wearing Shrek Academy uniforms strode into the Soul Guide Trial Field under the leadership of Teacher Fan Yu. Discussions in the stands suddenly arose again, with everyone speculating who was the one who dared to compete in this exchange competition with all the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy alone. Soon they saw Ye Qian'an wearing a black and gold mask walking in front of the ten Shrek students. However, as soon as Ye Qian'an appeared, the entire stands turned into a sea of noise in an instant. "Defeat him! Send that Shrek redneck back home!" "Long live the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy, long live the Sun-Moon Empire! The shame must be washed away with blood!" "Whoever beats him, I will be his girlfriend!" …Ye Qian frowned slightly, very dissatisfied with the noisy shouting. He walked slowly towards the competition field and glanced at the stands with a cold gaze, "Shut up." As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow of a giant golden dragon with huge dragon wings appeared behind him. At this moment, all the teachers and students present had a strong reaction. They felt that the person in front of them was a terrifying beast. The pressure from the blood made their souls tremble. The extreme fear made them subconsciously release their martial arts spirits and make a defensive posture with all their strength. Even the teachers were pale, with cold sweat on their foreheads, looking at the figure standing proudly in the center of the venue with horror. "Are you scared already?" Ye Qian'an said with a hint of contempt. Everyone in the stands looked at each other, the shock in their hearts had not yet subsided. They did not expect that the mere appearance of the martial spirit shadow of this Shrek Academy student would make them feel such tremendous pressure. Lin Jiayi tried to calm himself down and said again through the loudspeaker soul guide: "Don't panic, let's look forward to the wonderful performance of both sides." However, at this time, some students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy began to worry. They were not sure whether they could defeat this powerful opponent. Ye Qian stood quietly in the center of the venue, waiting for the first challenger to come on stage, and said in a very majestic voice, "Come on, let me see your strength." "The first exchange match begins." Lin Jiayi's stern voice spread throughout the venue. Ye Qian'an's opponent is a young man who looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is a fifth-level soul master, but he seems a little nervous now. "Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, fifth-level soul engineer, Xia Xuanchen."
The young man looked at Ye Qian'an and announced his name. At this time, the whole place had gradually quieted down, and everyone was staring at the Soul Guide Trial Field intently. "Shrek, Ye Qian'an, please give me some advice." Ye Qian'an said in a flat voice. As they got closer, Xuan Ziwen took a closer look at Ye Qian'an. He narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly evaluated this student from Shrek Academy in his heart. He felt a strong sense of self-confidence from Ye Qian'an, which was the aura that could only be exuded by someone who was absolutely sure of his own strength. "This is just a competition. Both sides should try their best to avoid hurting each other during the competition. They should make friends through martial arts and communicate with each other." Ye Qian nodded, "I'll try my best." Xia Xuanchen on the other side also nodded. His nervousness gradually turned into excitement. If he could defeat this guy from Shrek Academy in this first competition, he would become really famous. "Both sides retreat to the waiting area." Xuan Ziwen said loudly. Xia Xuanchen turned and left. He now felt as if the blood in his body was about to boil. He was really impatient. Ye Qian'an retreated slowly, with steady steps and a calm expression. His eyes were always on Xia Xuanchen, as if he was planning something. The moment both parties stepped into the waiting area at the same time, Xuan Ziwen immediately shouted, "The game begins." Xia Xuanchen raised both arms at the same time, and with clanging sounds, two dark metal gun barrels appeared on his arms. Two balls of light of different colors appeared instantly. A yellow ball of light came out of the left soul guide cannon, and red one came out of the right one. Moreover, the speeds were different. The firing speed of the yellow ball of light was obviously faster than that of the red one. Before the red ball of light was emitted, a slight "drip" sound was heard from Xia Xuanchen's body. Xia Xuanchen's attack was launched instantly, and the yellow light ball rushed towards Ye Qian'an like lightning, while the red light ball was a little slower. Ye Qian'an stood quietly in place, watching the yellow light ball approaching rapidly. Just when the light ball was about to hit him, he raised his right hand and gently waved it to disperse the yellow light ball. The moment the yellow light ball was dispersed, it turned into countless yellow light spots and dissipated in the air. Immediately afterwards, a red single directional high-explosive bomb was fired. Ye Qian'an slowly raised his left hand and caught the red light ball in his hand. A burst of hot energy instantly came from his palm, but Ye Qian'an didn't care much about it. He clenched his left hand slightly holding the high-explosive bomb. The red light ball kept shaking in his hand, as if it would explode at any time. However, there was no fear on Ye Qian'an's face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the energy fluctuations of the high-explosive bomb in his hand. Everyone in the stands was watching this scene nervously. They didn't know what Ye Qian'an would do next. Some timid students even covered their eyes, fearing that they would see a terrible explosion. A sneer appeared on Ye Qian'an's lips. He flicked the high-explosive bomb in his hand back towards Xia Xuanchen. The high-explosive bomb drew an arc in the air at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of Xia Xuanchen in the blink of an eye. Xia Xuanchen's face changed drastically. He didn't expect Ye Qian to be so bold as to throw the high-explosive bomb back. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. He had no choice but to raise the soul guide cannon on his arm again to try to intercept the high-explosive bomb. "Boom!" A loud noise was heard, and a high-explosive bomb exploded in front of Xia Xuanchen. The powerful impact force shocked Xia Xuanchen and made him retreat repeatedly. The soul guide cannon on his arm was also deformed. The smoke from the explosion had not yet dissipated, and everyone only felt a black shadow flash by. When the smoke gradually settled, they could see clearly that Ye Qian'an had taken advantage of the explosion to come behind Xia Xuanchen. Xia Xuanchen was still in shock at this time. With some tinnitus from the explosion, he had not yet reacted to the danger behind him. Ye Qian'an looked stern, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes. He leaned forward slightly and whispered in Xia Xuanchen's ear: "This is just the beginning." Xia Xuanchen turned around suddenly, his eyes full of fear. He hurriedly wanted to launch the soul cannon attack again, but Ye Qian'an would never give him this opportunity. Ye Qian'an quickly made a move, grabbed Xia Xuanchen's arm, and exerted a little force. Xia Xuanchen only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the soul cannon slipped out of his hand instantly. "You lose. Please welcome the next victim." Ye Qian'an's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. There was silence in the stands, and everyone was shocked by Ye Qian'an's strength. They originally thought that Xia Xuanchen would cause some trouble for Ye Qian'an, but they didn't expect the battle to end so quickly. Lin Jiayi frowned slightly. The result of this battle was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that Xia Xuanchen would have more opportunities to perform, but Ye Qian'an's strength forced him to re-examine this student from Shrek Academy. Xuan Ziwen's eyes flashed with admiration. Ye Qian'an's combat proficiency and strength made him look at him with new eyes. Moreover, he could resist the soul guide shells with one hand without getting hurt. Such physical strength was really terrifying. "In the first match, Ye Qian'an from Shrek Academy wins." Lin Jiayi's voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker soul guide. The students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in the stands looked at each other, the pressure in their hearts becoming heavier. They began to realize that Ye Qian'an was no ordinary person and it would not be easy to defeat him. After a brief silence, discussions were heard again in the stands.
"This Shrek guy is too strong. Xia Xuanchen is a level 5 soul master, but he was defeated so quickly." "It seems that this competition is not that simple. I wonder if the challengers behind us can bring us surprises." "Humph, I don't believe he can keep winning. There are so many masters in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, there must be someone who can defeat him." ......... (End of this chapter)
