Chapter 229 Nana Asks for Help
Chapter 229 Nana Asks for Help
Xuan Ziwen said no more, raised his hand to activate the soul guide screen, and matched Arthas with the next level 6 soul guide according to the pre-arranged order. The so-called random matching was just for show.
And he could not go against the decision of the hall master.
The screen flickered with light and shadow, and the next player was quickly matched.
Ji Juechen, a six-ring soul emperor and sixth-level soul instructor, is known as an outlier among soul instructors because of his obsession with swordsmanship.
A man walked onto the stage holding a sword and stood still. His tone was indifferent and his words were concise, "Ji Juechen."
"Artsace." Arthas replied simply.
Xuan Ziwen saw the two people walk to the designated position and announced loudly, "The game begins!"
To use the soul to enter the sword, this is a unique training method for Ji Juechen. The meteorite sword in his hand was originally a piece of metal, but as Ji Juechen nurtured it with soul power day after day, and even transformed his martial soul into energy, the piece of metal eventually turned into a sword, and Ji Juechen also stepped into the realm of unity between man and sword.
At this moment, with the injection of soul power, a sharp aura spread.
"The unity of man and sword?" Arthas pretended to be surprised, then nodded slightly, "Not bad!"
"You deserve my serious attention."
“???” The audience was stunned and questions arose in their minds: Wasn’t this the true strength of Arthas before?
The next second, the eight spider spears behind Arthas quickly retracted and soon all sank into the metal carapace covering the spine behind him. Then, a turquoise aura rose from his body, exuding a vigorous vitality and a domineering aura.
After a blink of an eye, the green aura revealed a slightly illusory, vigorous ancient tree behind him.
"Tree?" Jing Hongchen's eyes slightly widened. "Is this Arthas's martial spirit?"
"Harmony between man and nature?" Ji Juechen's eyes flashed.
Arthas nodded and began to deceive, "To be precise, it is the unity of man and soul. If I am not mistaken, you should have integrated your martial soul into the sword-shaped metal in your hand by the method of soul into sword, and then entered the realm of unity of man and sword."
"As for me, I am entering the body with my soul."
“Although it was an accidental integration and not entirely based on my own understanding, I have finally taken this step.”
"The soul is one with me. I am the martial soul and the martial soul is me! I don't have a spirit ring because the spirit ring has already merged with me!"
"And this is also the reason why my physical strength far exceeds that of my peers."
"So that's how it is!" Jing Hongchen, Xu Tianran and Xuan Ziwen believed it and were also shocked.
"Can we play it this way?" Everyone in the audience was also shocked.
Jing Hongchen's expression turned solemn. "I have heard that ten thousand years ago, there was a sect called Haotian Sect in the original three great empires. They mastered a special skill that could blow up their own spirit rings, allowing the spirit ring energy to enter the body, allowing their own strength to skyrocket in a short period of time."
"It seems that Arthas has surpassed his master." Xu Tianran said with a smile.
"It's a pity that it was an accidental gain and is difficult to replicate." Jing Hongchen was full of regret.
"It's a pity indeed." Xu Tianran nodded. Juzi once told him that Arthas's martial soul merged with his own life due to an accident. It was most likely an accidental mutation. This kind of thing could not be replicated at all. Otherwise.
He also wants to learn this secret skill!
"Easy to cheat!" He Caitou's mouth twitched slightly and he said so in his heart.
“As expected of my senior brother’s clone, his ability to respond to situations on the spot is truly strong.” Huo Yuhao also secretly sighed.
"Can this be solved?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was shocked.
"As expected of his clone." Xiaotian also sighed, and then glanced at Tianmeng, "A clone is smarter than a certain flesh silkworm!"
Tianmeng Iceworm: "."
"Please teach me!" Ji Juechen was eager to fight, and his sharp sword intent pierced forward with tremendous momentum.
Arthas stood still like a pine tree. Behind him, the shadow of a large tree condensed by the light of life swayed and then retracted into his body.
A punch was thrown, the air roared, and the attacking sword intent shattered on the spot.
"What a domineering punch!" Ji Juechen's face was solemn, and he also knew that it was impossible to overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum. Without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly rushed forward like an arrow from a bow, turning into a streak of sword light, and appeared in front of Arthas in the blink of an eye.
Without any assistance from soul guides, this was already his speed limit.
But it is not the limit of Arthas. Although it is just a clone, the quality of his mental power is there, and his perception is so sensitive, otherwise he can't perform the unity of heaven and man. If he was not worried about being seen by Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, he could inherit the throne.
Within the field of vision, Ji Juechen's sword swept across, the sword light was dazzling, and ten meters away, a sword mark several meters deep extended rapidly.
"Come on!" Arthas' eyes flashed and he punched again.
There is no ice attribute or wind attribute superimposed, it relies purely on the light of life to bless the body, and at the same time gathers the essence, energy and spirit to throw a punch.
"Clang!" The sound of metal and stone colliding was so harsh that the air was distorted for a moment.
The next second, a wave of air exploded with the two of them as the center.
"What is this?" Jing Hongchen stood up with a look of astonishment. In terms of the power of the collision, the two men were not impressive to him, but in terms of artistic conception, that indescribable feeling, that indomitable momentum, even he could not understand the mystery.
But the two young men on the field managed to integrate it into the attack.
The actual combat gap is a bit big.
In the sight, Ji Juechen spit out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards. Obviously, Ji Juechen's sword was still a little lacking in strength. However, Arthas was not without any damage. After all, the soul guide boxing gloves on his hands were made of level 6 soul guide materials, so they were a little lacking in defense. At this time, a gash was cut, and the internal fingers were also cut with blood marks.
However, in the next moment, it healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Damn, he recovered so quickly?" The sharp-eyed audience were stunned.
"Being able to fight and heal is outrageous! Is this the correct way to be a healing spirit master?"
"Even Ji Juechen couldn't block his punch, how are the contestants behind him going to fight?" Someone hung his head and wailed.
"Niu Ben!" These words were still heard from the rest area of Shrek Academy.
"I lost." Inside the arena, Ji Juechen stood up slowly, his eyes showing no sign of dejection, but rather excitement. He stared at Arthas, then turned around and left the arena without hesitation. He staggered and almost fell once.
But no one booed, as everyone saw the power of Ji Juechen's sword.
Jing Ziyan, who was familiar with him, ran up quickly and helped Ji Juechen out of the stadium.
"Next." Arthas said lightly.
Xuan Ziwen felt his scalp tingling.
The first three were already the strongest students in the sixth grade of the academy. They were arranged in advance in the hope that they would end Arthas' winning streak, but they ended up being completely defeated. Wouldn't it be a suicide for the students who followed to go up?
If Arthas were to defeat them all, where would the academy's reputation be?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Jing Hongchen.
The latter also looked a little confused, but Xu Tianran next to him smiled and said, "It's a wonderful duel, let's continue."
Jing Hongchen then nodded slightly.
Xuan Ziwen said no more and activated the soul guide screen to match the next game for Arthas.
As expected, they were easily defeated by Arthas, and then one after another came up and were defeated.
In the afternoon, another winning streak.
After the game, Lin Jiayi smiled bitterly in front of Jing Hongchen, "Although they are not twin martial souls, in terms of combat talent, Arthas and the student named Minghui from Shrek Academy are definitely on par with each other, if they had also participated in the last Continental Soul Master Competition." "I'm afraid our academy is..." He didn't say anything else, because the result would most likely be a bit cruel.
Jing Hongchen had a different idea, "It's a pity that he is over the age limit, otherwise the next time the academy might have a better chance of winning."
Of course, the premise is that Arthas stays in the Sun-Moon Empire.
But no matter what, Arthas will not be able to participate in the next Soul Master Competition. It can only be said that it is a mixed blessing.
The next day, Alsace won a series of games as expected, defeating all the remaining players and completing the whole race. Judging from the points, he has firmly secured first place. The champion was decided in this way, and the subsequent games completely lost their interest, and the number of spectators decreased.
A few days later, the semester assessment was completely completed, and Alsace stepped onto the podium as the first in the whole grade.
The students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy looked uncomfortable. In their eyes, Arthas was an outsider after all.
Xu Tianran had a huge smile on his face, and generously awarded Arthas a top-level eighth-level soul guide device.
After the award ceremony, Jing Hongchen kept his promise and personally handed the winning streak rewards to Arthas and other Shrek students. He didn't give them to Fan Yu, because he wanted Arthas to stay in the academy in the future, and these metals would also stay in the academy.
After finishing the task, Jing Hongchen received the emperor's oral order conveyed by Xu Tianran.
"Master Jing, continue with the previous plan and make sure Arthas stays in the academy."
Obviously, Arthas's outstanding performance in this semester's assessment made His Majesty and the Crown Prince even more restless.
He has excellent medical skills, amazing talent in soul guide research, and superb combat power. Both father and son hope to keep such a talent in the Sun-Moon Empire.
In fact, Jing Hongchen also thought that the three people's opinions on this matter were surprisingly consistent.
That afternoon, Jing Hongchen held an emergency meeting and made arrangements to isolate Arthas from the people of Shrek Academy as much as possible.
When it was night, Nana sneaked in again and knocked on Alsace's door.
"Come in." Arthas opened the door, then turned and walked directly to the sofa, asking Nana to help close the door.
This time, Nana was surprisingly well-behaved and helped close the door obediently.
When he turned around, Arthas had already pointed at his forehead, drawing out a small ball of golden light from his forehead.
"Next time you fight someone, before you figure out the opponent's specific abilities, it's better to use that spirit skill less often, so as not to be controlled by others again. When you graduate and go out into the world, not everyone will be as easy to talk to as I am."
As he spoke, he controlled the golden light to float out.
"Relax and don't resist."
Nana quickly relaxed her body, closed her eyes and waited.
Then, his brows suddenly felt warm, and as his soul was replenished, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes with a look of astonishment on his face, "I feel that my soul has become much more solid, and even my martial soul feels like it has been sublimated."
"Arthas, how did you do it?"
"My soul is of higher quality and purer than yours, it's that simple." Arthas said lightly.
Nana nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and suddenly knelt down.
"What are you doing?" Arthas frowned and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Arthas, I beg you to help me!" Nana's eyes were red and her tone was sad and pitiful.
Arthas frowned even more, but his tone was calm, "Get up and talk first."
"If you have something to say, sit down and tell me directly. If you have asked me about this, you should know that moral blackmail will not work on me."
Nana wiped the tears from her eyes and slowly stood up.
"Please sit here." Arthas pointed to the sofa next to him.
Nana walked over and sat down obediently. Arthas then said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Arthas, can you listen to my story?" Nana whispered.
Arthas nodded slightly.
Nana began to speak, briefly summarizing that her parents had died tragically, their souls had been imprisoned by the Holy Spirit Church, and were being used to threaten her.
"So, how do you want me to help you?" Arthas asked calmly.
"Besides, you are now a student of Mingde Hall, why don't you ask Jing Hongchen for help?" He asked knowingly.
"It's useless. They are simply in cahoots with each other!" Nana said angrily. "I once saw a masked elder of the Holy Spirit Church walk into Mingde Hall. I am sure that there is some kind of collusion between the Holy Spirit Church and Mingde Hall, or even with the imperial family."
"I hate the Holy Spirit Church, I hate Mingde Church, and I hate this country that harbors so much filth."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and then she suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Arthas, saying very seriously, "Arthas, as long as you can help me save my parents' souls, from now on, I will be willing to be your slave."
"I don't need a servant." Arthas shook his head, "But I can help you."
"For nothing else but the story you just told me."
"Are you really willing to help me?" Nana was a little unbelievable.
"I can only do my best." Arthas said, "Before that, you need to tell me about the situation of the Holy Spirit Church."
In fact, he knew something, after all, his original body had searched the soul of the evil soul master Soul Douluo who attacked Shrek Academy before, and he inherited this part of the memory. But he didn't know whether the branch where Nana was was included, at least not yet.
Nana nodded and quickly told him everything she knew.
"In the branch I'm in, the strongest person is a Seven-ringed Soul Saint, except for him..."
After listening to this, Arthas thought for a moment before saying, "We'll take action after dinner in three days."
"Don't worry, I will find a way to get out of the academy."
"Arthas, thank you!" Nana said with gratitude.
"."
Three days later, in the evening, Arthas, who had completely transformed into another Mingde Hall student, walked out of the academy. The same thing happened to Nana, who had helped to drug the Mingde Hall student and suitor. As a celebrity in the academy, the guard only took a glance and let her go.
"Arthas, your ability to change your appearance is amazing!" Nana couldn't help but say after walking for a distance together.
"It's just a subtle manipulation of muscles." Arthas said lightly.
"My identity is special, and I must return to the academy tonight. Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we can return."
"Yeah." Nana nodded, quickened her pace and led the way.
