Jiang Nannan: I'm Not a Genius, but Surely There's a Place for Me in This Era Too
The first match is between the Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
"Yutong, how do I fight?"
Although the Shrek Seven Devils appear to be a unified group, only those within the group know that Huo Yutong, Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong'er, and Jiang Nannan have a close relationship, while the other three belong to another small group.
"Now, the semifinals have adopted a best-of-three format, with team matches and individual elimination rounds. Using the 2-2-3 strategy, victory is assured, but how to win gracefully is another matter."
Huo Yutong turned her gaze to the podium, where her beloved was watching. Therefore, this time she was determined to win beautifully and fight with might.
Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao exchanged a glance, as if they understood something.
Yes, it's the semi-finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament now, and Brother Wei Lin is watching them from the podium. If they don't show off now, when will they?
"The first match is a 7-on-7 team competition! Players, please come to the stage!"
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy
Ma Rulong, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Mijia, Chen Fei, Xiao Xiafeng, Lin Xi.
Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao, Huo Yutong, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao Jiang Nannan, Jiang Nannan, Ling Luochеn, Xu Sanshi.
Their talent is undeniable; they simply want to showcase everything about themselves to the fullest.
"The match begins!"
"Take care of them in three minutes."
As Huo Yutong finished speaking, Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron landed in the due north, southwest, and southeast directions respectively.
Four black Soul Ring appeared behind her simultaneously, and a huge furnace lifted her up.
This was her Soul Spirit, an 80,000-year-old Soul Spirit, the Reverse Fire Furnace, with a ring of molten fire appearing behind her.
"The Smelting Domain, the Soul-Suppressing Domain, Great Instrument of the Nation, the Cauldron's Seal."
Xiao Xiao immediately unleashed all her abilities: the Smelting Domain granted by the Reverse Fire Furnace and the Soul-Suppressing Domain granted by her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron —one for killing, the other for suppressing.
Molten chains were released from the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, instantly covering the entire arena, and the immense gravitational pressure directly controlled the entire field.
Wang Dong'er's figure also appeared high in the sky, with four black Soul Ring flashing simultaneously.
"Fourth Soul Skill: Hexagram Array; Third Soul Skill: Radiant Flash."
Hexagram Array spread out in the sky, and Wang Dong'er's figure soared straight into the heavens. Magnificent butterfly wings enveloped her, and as the wings unfurled, dazzling light began to spread, converging into a sphere directly in front of her.
Wang Dong'er stretched out her right hand and gently pushed it down.
Her movements weren't fast; in fact, the ball of light moved very slowly, but...
On the dais.
Wei Lin was prepared; they all put on sunglasses, ready to deal with the upcoming flashbangs.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, a giant sphere of light rose up over the entire arena; it had no color, only pure white.
"Ah! My eyes! My eyes are going blind!"
"What is this thing? It's all white!"
The audience erupted in screams and wails. It was fortunate that Wei Lin had reinforced the protective measures of the competition venue in advance, which limited the amount of light coming in from the overflow area. Otherwise, everyone present would have been accompanied by darkness.
As the ball of light dissipated, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Legion lay prone on the ground. They were covered by a light blue protective layer, which, from a distance, was released by Little Yutong. This layer neither killed them nor rendered them unable to fight.
"Is this the Little Monster's strength?"
Ma Xiaotao took off her sunglasses and sighed in disappointment.
I feel like I'm falling behind the times. The other person is just a Xiaoya from the fourth ring, but she gives me the feeling that she could overthrow Titled Douluo.
She knew perfectly well that these two little ones possessed Twin Martial Souls, meaning that, up until now, neither of them had used their full strength, let alone... Huo Yutong, the team leader!
"Team... team competition... Shrek Academy wins!"
Huang Jinxu felt like his eyes were almost blinded by the light. If it weren't for the azure protective shield in front of him, he felt he might have been vaporized on the spot after that attack.
In response, Wei Lin said there was no need to think it was possible.
Wang Dong'er's Soul Spirit was prepared as a Sun Butterfly. This Soul Spirit had no other abilities, only two: gathering yang energy and releasing it.
That is, Hexagram Array, which gathers sunlight, Radiant Flash, and releases the gathered sunlight.
Short for small-scale controlled nuclear fusion.
There's one downside: after using it, Wang Dong'er is bedridden; it's basically a one-time use product.
See, it's fallen down now.
Xiao Xiao quickly caught Wang Dong'er, thud~
"Hiss!"
Wang Dong'er gasped in pain, vowing to make Xiao Xiao add some soft padding to the cauldron next time, so that this time she would be in excruciating pain.
"Individual elimination round! Both players, please enter the arena!"
"Senior Nannan, this first victory is all yours."
Huo Yutong naturally understood Jiang Nannan's feelings for her brother, and arranging it for the first performance was a good opportunity for her to show off.
"Thank you so much Little Yutong."
"Match 1! Mijia vs. Jiang Nannan!"
Jiang Nannan let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, her feelings had always been unrequited. Wei Lin had helped her, allowing her mother to live a happy life, but... you've never even glanced at me. Am I not pretty?
Jiang Nannan turned her gaze to Wei Lin. "Please, take a good look at me. No matter what the future holds, at least for this 'day,' I can show myself."
"Girl, you are no match for me. Step down."
Mijia knew very well that the only three people Shrek Academy truly posed a challenge to were Huo Yutong, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao.
The three of them were ostensibly from the Shrek Academy, but in reality, they belonged to Tianshu. As for this beautiful girl, he hadn't really paid any attention to her.
How will you know if you don't try?
Jiang Nannan slowly took a step forward, and four Soul Rings, one purple and one black, descended.
He was actually right. She hadn't received any systematic enhancement from Wei Lin, but she was willing to fight desperately, even if she couldn't compare to Huo Yutong and the others.
In this day and age, genius has become a synonym for class. They are recognized worldwide as prodigies, the chosen ones who can fight beyond their level.
Is there really no place for her?
Jiang Nannan smiled, her beautiful face blossoming into a radiant smile.
Just like the lyrics say, beauty doesn't mean fragility; tenderness paints dreams.
I will walk my own path.
She walked towards him step by step.
Wei Lin gave her the right to purchase resources in Tianshu. Everything she earned from her work was used for the Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Ascension Platform. Death? She didn't know how many times she had faced it, but she only wanted to get a little closer to him, just a little bit.
The Soul Spirit the Moon Rabbit landed on her head, silently watching Mika. This time, she was the protagonist too.
