FE-Chapter 74: Maid Nana
Xuan Zi took a sip of wine and closed his eyes slightly, his face vaguely showing the confidence brought by the terrifying cultivation of "Level 98 Super Douluo."
It seemed as if he could ensure that the students' lives were safe just by waving his hand.
Xuan Zi finished eating a chicken leg and threw the bone away. He took out a list with his greasy hands and glanced at it casually.
"Xiao Wang, please count the number of students. Are all the students here?"
Wang Yan had already counted the number of students when he was giving a pre-match mobilization speech. He blurted out, "Master Xuan, everyone is here."
He hesitated. "It's just that there is a fifth-year student named Jiang Nannan in the outer courtyard. She took a leave of absence this semester to care for her mother, who just recovered from an illness."
"But Beibei and Tang Ya informed her in advance, and Jiang Nannan came on time."
Xuan Zi frowned slightly. "She hasn't been to class this semester and has missed so many months of courses. Moreover, without our teacher's professional guidance on martial arts, the gap between her and other students will only get bigger and bigger..."
Wang Yan had anticipated Master Xuan's reaction. He scanned the folder and considered it carefully.
"Master Xuan, Jiang Nannan's cultivation has not fallen behind. Currently, she is only two levels lower than Beibei."
"Beibei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and the beloved disciple of the Soul Guidance Department teacher Fan Yu and Cai Tou—all five of them are the strongest students in the outer courtyard."
"As for Tang Ya, her martial soul is blue silver grass. A few months ago, Tang Ya's strength was not particularly outstanding."
Wang Yan showed a look of reminiscence. "Beibei mentioned it to me before, saying that he took a slightly different path from his ancestor, Tang San."
Xuan Zi waved his hand to interrupt him. "I know this. The soul ring was hunted by me and the team."
He did not mention the matter of catching the 25,000-year-old chicken soul beast on the way. After returning to the academy, he held another meeting at the Sea God Pavilion.
Although Mu En found the situation extremely difficult, he was still helpless when faced with Xuan Zi's voluntary resignation.
This was not the first time Xuan Zi's team had gotten into trouble.
Although the incident was smaller than the previous one, the death of an outstanding student still made Mu En sad, but what could he do about Xuan Zi?
Facing Xuan Zi was like a piece of meat on a rolling knife. After making a mistake, he knew it, admitted it, and decisively offered to voluntarily withdraw from the Poseidon Pavilion.
Mu En finally had no choice but to give in and place heavy hope.
He hoped that the next time Xuan Zi led the team, the death rate could be reduced from one to zero.
Mu En couldn't mention that previously, Xuan Zi led a team of twelve people and only four survived...but this time, only one student died, so the safety of the escort team had greatly improved.
For a Level 98 Super Douluo like Xuan Zi, who has the highest combat power in the world, such events shouldn't happen.
Moreover, the soul beasts they faced were less than 100,000 years old. The next time he led a team, there should be zero deaths, right?
At this time, Xuan Zi raised the wine gourd in his hand and said in a muffled voice, "Little guys, in the selection process, if you voluntarily admit defeat or are rescued by me, you will be eliminated."
"There are no rules. You can form teams at will until there are only seven students left on the field, who will be the winners of this selection."
Xuan Lao took a bite of the chicken leg and scanned all the students again with his narrowed eyes: "This is the rule. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Many students responded with high morale, and under the organization of Wang Yan and the head teachers of each class, they entered the fighting spirit field in an orderly manner.
Dai Huabin was the champion in the freshman assessment, and this time there was no conflict between him and Huo Yuhao, so he was in high spirits.
There were even some younger students who spread propaganda in the outer courtyard (Dai Huabin pretended not to know that he had hired a network of internet trolls), saying that he would enter the inner courtyard in the future and would most likely surpass his brother, Dai Yuheng, to become the strongest youth in the family.
The big fight organized by Xuan Zi was about to begin. After a brief pause, all the students began to think about finding allies.
"Xiao Ya, go call Nan Nan over; let's join forces." Regarding the fifth-grade core disciples, Bei Bei said to Tang Ya, and then found Xu Sanshi and his girlfriend, Meng Miao, forming a team.
This time Jiang Nannan's mother's illness was cured, and it had nothing to do with Xuanming Sect, so her attitude toward Xu Sanshi was the same as that of other team members, and she nodded slightly in politeness.
Immediately, Jiang Nannan was pulled away by Tang Ya to chat and laugh.
"Nannan, how come you've made such great progress practicing alone at home without the help of a teacher?" Tang Ya had become more cheerful since she changed the development path of the Blue Silver Grass.
Jiang Nannan smiled softly, and a small ball of light appeared imperceptibly in her palm. She leaned over and whispered in Tang Ya's ear.
"Xiao Ya, this ball of light shows the scene of Xiao Wu using the Eight-Section Throw thousands of years ago. I have been practicing with her for the past few months, and suddenly I found that my training speed has increased a bit."
Tang Ya looked at the ball of light, and her pupils widened in surprise.
She remembered that when she was in the Star Dou Great Forest, she met Huo Yuhao, who savored the delicious grilled fish, and he had woven a ball of light to fight the wind baboon.
"Nannan, where did you get this?" Tang Ya asked in surprise.
Jiang Nannan pondered. Huo Yuhao had told her before that there was no need to hide anything, and that he had met Xuan Zi first, but Xuan Zi was not particularly impressed by Huo Yuhao's soul skills.
She couldn't help but smile. "It's from the same person who treated my mother."
Tang Ya had some guesses in her mind based on the small light ball in Jiang Nannan's hand and asked tentatively, "Is his name Huo Yuhao?"
Although Jiang Nannan was a little surprised, she could make sense of it after thinking about it. After all, Tang Ya was also on the team when Master Xuan led the team to hunt for soul rings last time.
She showed a gentle smile. "I didn't expect you to know Yuhao."
Tang Ya said excitedly, "We knew each other a long time ago. At that time, Xiao Yuhao was only at level 10 and was preparing to obtain the first soul ring. It was also with his help that I realized that the Blue Silver Grass martial soul cannot be configured with the soul rings of poisonous snakes and poisonous spiders."
Jiang Nannan was happy for Tang Ya. When she returned to school, Beibei told her that if nothing unexpected happened, Tang Ya would also be selected as a reserve player for this Soul Master Competition.
"Is Xiao Yuhao in school now? Which school is he in?" Tang Ya asked happily.
Jiang Nannan hesitated for a moment and decided to hide the school from the Tang Sect leader. "Yuhao is in school. As for the school... we will see him at the Soul Master Competition."
Although Tang Ya was very curious, she did not ask any further questions. The two then continued talking about Xiao Wu's Eight-Section Throw.
In the fighting arena, students from other grades also formed their teams.
Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu naturally formed a group and then called on a few students with higher cultivation levels in the same class to strengthen the team slightly.
Xiao Xiao blinked at Bai Yunli and then tugged at Wang Dong's sleeve.
"Wang Dong, Yun Li, let's get some teammates; otherwise, we won't be able to hold on until the end."
Bai Yunli frowned slightly, thinking for a moment, with some doubts in his eyes.
"I feel that Master Xuan's rule seems convenient and effective at first glance, but when I think about it carefully, there are big problems." Wang Dong looked at the students, all pulling the team together and nodded in approval.
"Well... Master Xuan said that the last seven students will be the winners, and there are no restrictions on the rules. What if there is a team of eight or more people left? How should it be decided?"
Bai Yunli was a little confused. Could it be that the team would have to undergo another civil war at that time?
Wang Dong glanced at Xuan Zi, curled his lips, and whispered, "That teacher is drunk and unreliable. How can we expect him to set the rules of the game?"
At this time, Ning Tian from the next class, with Wu Feng standing next to her acting as her protector, came up to Wang Dong and the others.
Ning Tian's eyes moved slightly. "Wang Dong, can I be in a group with the three of you?"
Xiao Xiao's light green eyes suddenly showed some alertness, but Wang Dong himself admitted that she was the one he liked the most, so she took the initiative to extend her hand and agreed with a smile.
"Of course, you're welcome to join us. We are also looking for teammates."
Wang Dong acquiesced by saying nothing further.
Wu Feng, with her long red hair tied into a high ponytail, looked at Wang Dong's handsome face with a hint of vigilance in her eyes, fearing that the beautiful lady, Miss Ning Tian, whom she had been thinking about, would be captured by Wang Dong.
At this time, Xuan Lao flew to the center of the fighting spirit area, took a gulp of wine, raised the wine gourd in his hand, and shouted, "Begin."
With a "whoosh," Xuan Lao's figure disappeared from the sky above the fighting spirit area, and no one knew where he had run off.
They guess he is secretly protecting the students' safety.
...
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Practical Control Department Teaching Building.
Huo Yuhao, who had made a second-level grenade gun and chainsaw sword and successfully became a second-level soul engineer, was assigned to the class of the actual control soul engineering department, where the class teacher was still Xu Sheng.
The so-called actual control soul guidance system refers to a soul master who cannot make soul guidance devices but has excellent control over them and is skilled in using soul guidance devices to improve his strength.
Well, this term in the original novel is inappropriate; it is used to describe soul masters who "can only use but not make" soul guidance devices.
Xu Sheng patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. "Students who control the Soul Guidance Department mean that their combat power is not limited to soul guidance devices; they must also be good at martial soul."
"Compared to students in the Soul Guidance Department, their martial soul abilities are more outstanding."
Huo Yuhao nodded to show that he understood and immediately found a seat in the back row.
As soon as he entered the classroom, he felt that he was being stared at. It was not the kind of stares that most of his classmates gave him because of his stunning looks, but rather the kind of stares that wanted to find out more about him.
Sure enough, a female student about fourteen or fifteen years old stood up from a few tables away from Huo Yuhao and walked straight toward him.
This female student was not particularly pretty, but she had fine features, healthy wheat-colored skin, and was over 1.75 meters tall.
Her long dark red hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her whole body exuded a heroic charm.
"Hello, you must be Huo Yuhao. Nice to meet you; my name is Nana." Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, as he still had some impression of Nana.
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao came to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy as an exchange student. Under the arrangement of Jing Hongchen, set up an arena to have friendly exchanges with a group of students.
Huo Yuhao challenged dozens of soul engineers of level 6 or below from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy one after another without losing a single battle, winning a lot of faces for Shrek. He was extremely majestic and domineering at that time.
Nana, in front of him, even though her soul was imprisoned by the undead magic, used the sixth-level soul guidance device Blinking Sword to instantly pierce through the defense of Huo Yuhao's Bingdi's Claw + Mysterious Jade Hand.
In that challenge, even Huo Yuhao admitted that he was careless.
He was almost killed by Nana's Blinking Sword.
However, Nana's ghost martial soul was restrained by Electrolux's undead magic, and she was eventually defeated. Huo Yuhao took away part of her soul and imprisoned it in the sea of spirituality.
Regarding this incident, it was later written that Nana personally went to Huo Yuhao's house, took off her outer clothes, and presented her perfect body without any clothes on.
She wanted to use her body in exchange for her soul, leading to the creation of Nana - the big maid version, which was also a normal performance of traditional art.
Huo Yuhao asked, "Senior Nana, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Nana's pupils moved slightly, and she pursed her lips and thought for a while. "Today, the school will hold a selection competition for reserve players. I think..."
Before she could finish, a loud "Silence!" came from the podium.
The classroom, which had been slightly noisy, suddenly became quiet, and the students all sat in their seats.
Nana looked at Huo Yuhao's deskmate's seat. "Junior Huo, is there no one sitting here?"
"No, Senior Nana, please sit here."
"Well, then you move a little closer." Nana sat next to Huo Yuhao.
Xu Sheng on the podium said slowly, "Originally, there will be no selection of reserve players in this Soul Master Competition. We will directly select the official players for the next session."
"But due to some special reasons, the dean is very happy and is preparing to conduct a selection. I hope you can seize the opportunity."
"Next, all students under the age of fifteen, follow me to the Soul Guidance Equipment Trial Field to participate in the selection of reserve players."
Soon, more than a dozen students stood up, excitement evident on their faces, and walked to the side of the podium.
The students in their practical control department could not be compared with the students in the soul guidance class in terms of engraving core magic arrays, but their combat effectiveness was quite outstanding.
Huo Yuhao and Nana also walked to the side of the podium.
Xu Sheng simply reorganized the team and led all the students under the age of fifteen out of the classroom and headed to the soul guide test field.
Although Huo Yuhao had some guesses in his mind, he still asked, "Senior Nana, why are you looking for me...?"
Nana was tall, with two long legs that were tight and strong without any fat. She folded her arms and held her head high, walking side by side with Huo Yuhao.
She didn't look like a head maid at all. Instead, she had a sense of oppression, with a faint aura of superiority.
She said calmly, "I am the strongest in this class, so I want to find a strong person to team up with me and participate in the selection together to increase our chances of passing."
