RNP Chapter 18 First Battle
Chapter 18 First Battle
When Xiao Chen went to the agreed-upon location, Hu Liena and Xie Yue followed along.
When Chu Ruolan first met Hu Liena and Xie Yue, she immediately sensed that the two had extraordinary temperaments.
Although she couldn't sense the depth of their soul power, she was absolutely certain that these two were no ordinary soul masters.
Although Chu Ruolan was curious, she did not ask any questions. On the contrary, when Canghui Academy saw that there were seven young people from Fabia Academy, the teacher in charge of the team immediately turned pale.
"Teacher Chu, what do you mean by this?" the teacher in charge of the Canghui Academy asked. He thought that Hu Liena and Xie Yue were also helpers that Chu Ruolan had found.
Chu Ruolan smiled and said, "Teacher Su Ming, please don't misunderstand, these two are just here to watch!"
The students of Canghui Academy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Hey? Isn't this the kid who was blocking the hotel entrance before?" The student from Canghui Academy who had told Xiao Chen to get out of the way in front of the hotel recognized Xiao Chen.
"Oh? Is that the kid who's afraid of exploding and dying from absorbing high-age spirit rings, so he only wants ten-year spirit rings?" Su Ming sneered.
Clearly, Xiao Chen's earlier remarks in front of the hotel have already spread.
"Teacher Chu, I wonder how many years old the second spirit ring you obtained for this kid is?" Su Ming continued.
Chu Ruolan stiffened slightly upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her brows.
She knew perfectly well that Xiao Chen's second soul ring was also a ten-year white ring, and for a moment she had no way to respond, so she could only change the subject and say, "This matter is not important, let the children start their competition first."
Su Ming, who was standing nearby, noticed her unusual behavior. His expression froze for a moment, then turned to disbelief. He whispered in surprise, "No way... Could it be that his second spirit ring is really white?"
Chu Ruolan and the others wanted to refute it, but it was an undeniable fact that they couldn't refute it at all.
Seeing the expressions on Ma Yan's, Su Qing's, and the others' faces, the group from Canghui Academy knew that Su Ming had guessed correctly, and they immediately burst into laughter.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what's so funny..." Hu Liena couldn't help but speak up when she saw the group from Canghui Academy mocking her junior brother.
Seeing this, Xie Yue quickly stopped her and whispered, "Nana, don't do anything rash. Elder Ju said we shouldn't interfere in this matter!"
"Hmph!" Hu Liena sneered. "I hope you'll still be laughing later!"
Hu Liena possesses an unparalleled beauty, and her innate fox spirit spirit naturally exudes a captivating charm.
Even without activating her soul skills, her innate, alluring aura lingered around her, and her eyes possessed a captivating charm. As soon as she stepped forward, the eyes of several male students from Canghui Academy immediately locked onto her.
Seeing such a beautiful woman protecting Xiao Chen, the strongest student from Canghui Academy laughed and said, "I didn't expect this good-for-nothing to have such a grand entrance, with such a beauty protecting him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of Cang Hui echoed him, their eyes all fixed on Hu Liena, and their words became frivolous.
"You're courting death!" Xie Yue's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the temperature around him instantly dropped to freezing.
Seeing that Xie Yue was about to make a move, Xiao Chen quickly stopped him. He knew very well that if Xie Yue made a move, there would definitely be casualties on the other side.
Xiao Chen didn't care whether the people from Canghui Academy lived or died, but Xie Yue, as a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, would inevitably damage the Spirit Hall's reputation if he killed someone here.
"Brother Xieyue, leave this matter to me." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice, his tone calm but with a chilling coldness.
He had initially felt only a slight aversion to the people from Canghui Academy, but now, that impatience had completely transformed into deep disgust.
He originally came to this sparring match simply to fulfill a promise, but now, the people from Canghui Academy have successfully angered Xiao Chen.
Ma Yan, Su Qing, and the others have already started arguing with the people from Canghui Academy. The two sides are at loggerheads and are about to come to blows.
"Su Ming, is this the kind of quality people from your Canghui Academy have?" Chu Ruolan's expression also turned cold.
Su Ming, however, merely curled his lips indifferently, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Young people speak casually, it's just a joke, why is Teacher Chu taking it so seriously?"
Seeing that Su Ming was also like this, Chu Ruolan saw no need to waste any more words with him.
"Since that's the case, let's see who's truly capable!" Chu Ruolan said coldly, then looked at Ma Yan and added, "No need to hold back later!"
"Understood!" Ma Yan instantly understood Chu Ruolan's meaning.
Originally, Chu Ruolan was not allowed to allow Ma Yan to reveal his soul bone during this sparring match, but the group from Canghui Academy was too shameless, and Chu Ruolan simply couldn't stand it anymore.
Furthermore, since Xiao Chen was going to participate in the battle, she was afraid that he would get hurt, so she removed the restriction on Ma Yan's soul bone.
With Chu Ruolan's permission, Ma Yan had already made up his mind to teach that foul-mouthed guy an unforgettable lesson later.
Seeing this, Su Ming also addressed his students, saying, "You all heard what Teacher Chu said, right? Don't hold back!"
"Yes!" The students from Canghui Academy responded in unison, each with a disdainful sneer on their faces.
The two sides soon arrived at an open space, and the sparring attracted many Soul Masters from the town.
As the battle began, both sides immediately deployed their formations and unleashed their martial spirits and spirit rings.
Among the five from Canghui Academy, the one with the strongest soul power was the guy with the most foul mouth. He was a level 23 offensive-type battle soul master with the Fiery Claw Bear as his martial soul, and he stood on the left wing.
The person on the right flank is a level 22 agility-type Soul Master with the Martial Soul Phantom Cat.
The person in the center of the front row is a level 21 defensive Soul Master with the Martial Soul Rock Armor Turtle.
Following the three was a control-type Soul Master, whose Martial Soul was the Shadow Vine, level 22.
The last one is a sound wave support-type Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is Silent Wind Chime, level 20.
In terms of soul power level, Canghui Academy is indeed slightly better than Fabia Academy.
However, they never imagined that Ma Yan possessed a soul bone, nor did they expect that Xiao Chen was playing dumb to deceive them.
When Xiao Chen released his martial soul, almost everyone's eyes were on him. When they saw that Xiao Chen's martial soul was a broken wooden bow and his two spirit rings were white, they almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The students from Canghui Academy laughed so hard they were doubled over, completely disregarding Xiao Chen.
And so, their fate was sealed. Xiao Chen didn't waste any words with them. He raised his hand and fired an arrow imbued with 'brute force,' which flew swiftly through the gap in their front row, aiming straight at the last support-type Soul Master.
"what……"
A scream came from behind, instantly drowning out the surrounding laughter. The Canghui Academy members turned around and saw their teammate lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
She was shot in the thigh by Xiao Chen's arrow and instantly lost her ability to move.
If Xiao Chen hadn't shown mercy, that arrow would have definitely killed her.
Before the battle even began, the enemy had already suffered losses.
"Damn it, how dare you launch a sneak attack!"
The powerful attack-type Soul Master from Canghui Academy roared and immediately charged towards Xiao Chen, but was stopped by Ma Yan halfway there.
Although Ma Yan's soul power level was one level lower than his opponent's, he had been tempered by his soul bone, so even without activating the soul bone's exclusive skills, his overall strength was in no way inferior to his opponent's.
The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and the melee began instantly.
