A Man Full of "Philosophy"

"I have a big banana."

As Wang Bili spoke, a streak of yellow light gathered in his hand, eventually forming a banana.

Zhang Yangzi and the other two's expressions changed slightly when they heard Wang Bili's words. Though the Arena was spacious, Nan Fusheng's group of four were all Soul Masters, so they naturally heard Wang Bili's voice as well.

The four of them looked at Wang Bili with subtle expressions. How should they put it? Food System Soul Masters did have rather strange soul incantations, but paired with Wang Bili's current movements, it was a different matter entirely.

A towering, dark-skinned man pinching his fingers in a delicate pose looked wrong no matter how one viewed it. At the same time, Wang Bili looked at Zhang Yangzi and the others as they accepted his "bananas."

A smile appeared on his face. How should they put it? At least in Nan Fusheng's eyes, that smile was full of "philosophy." His mouthful of white teeth looked even brighter against his dark skin.

Food System Soul Masters had always been a special existence in the world of Soul Masters. Their Martial Souls came in all sorts of strange varieties, each different from the next.

Twenty thousand years ago, it was said that a high-level Food System Soul Master was someone no major power could refuse, because they could support an army's rations all by themselves.

As the times developed, the Martial Souls of Food System Soul Masters changed more and more, as though such Martial Souls evolved alongside the era.

For example, not long after candy was first made, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul was candy would appear every so often.

Not long after cigars were first made, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul was a cigar would appear.

But one thing never changed.

Among Food System Soul Masters, no matter how everything else changed, there was one ironclad rule acknowledged by all Food System Soul Masters:

The more powerful a food-type Martial Soul was, the stranger it was, and the more obscene its soul incantation became.

Like Oscar, one of the Shrek Seven Devils who became the "Food God" twenty thousand years ago.

Or He Caitou, the "Source of Destruction," who had been one of the Shrek Seven Devils alongside the Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago.

Though Wang Bili's banana Martial Soul was not particularly powerful, it could absolutely be considered top-tier. Wang Bili's Innate Soul Power had only been level six, and his current Soul Power was merely level fourteen.

For a Battle Soul Master, this was only middling talent, but for a Support-type Spirit Master, it could definitely be called "genius."

What sparked even more controversy, however, was Wang Bili himself. If his soul incantation had merely been a little obscene, then for Zhang Yangzi and the others, it would at most have slightly polluted their ears.

But the problem was that Wang Bili himself was a little strange. If this match had not required four participants, and if Wang Bili had not offered the best value in First Grade Class One in terms of usefulness, Zhang Yangzi and the other two would never have wanted him on their team.

Wang Bili was a native of Eastsea City. It was said that ever since he awakened his Martial Soul and entered Primary Academy, he had loved treating others to the "bananas" produced by his Martial Soul.

There had originally been nothing wrong with that. Being willing to share with classmates was a good thing, and most children in Primary Academy were still too young to understand much, so they had no particular opinion about Wang Bili's soul incantation.

But whenever Wang Bili offered someone a "banana" produced by his Martial Soul, he would always reveal a strange smile. If not for the fact that the food was his Martial Soul, people would almost have thought he had poisoned the bananas.

Even so, because of that strange smile and his frequent habit of offering others his bananas,

combined with his build, which far exceeded that of his peers, and his dark skin, he had few friends in Primary Academy or even now in Intermediate Academy.

There were even rumors that ever since Wang Bili enrolled, the roommates assigned to the same dorm as him would wrap themselves tightly in their blankets every night when they slept.

When asked why, those students all said that after seeing Wang Bili's smile, they were afraid that something strange would invade them while they slept.

With all those rumors, along with the "philosophical" aura surrounding Wang Bili, even in First Grade Class One, he was known as the person everyone least wanted as a teammate.

Wang Bili's First Soul Skill: Energetic Big Banana. It could effectively restore a Soul Master's Soul Power, while also putting them into an excited state for better combat and increasing their mental resistance to a certain degree.

This was the lineup Ye Yingluo had deliberately arranged after hearing that Class Three, led by her younger sister Ye Yingrong, had lost to Class Five.

In her view, a major reason her sister's Class Three had lost was Nan Fusheng's soul skill. In fact, she had gone to watch when Class Five fought Class Two.

From her perspective, whenever Nan Fusheng's Soul Ring flashed, his opponents would suddenly lose focus and stand frozen in place before being eliminated. She had no particularly good way to deal with this type of spiritual Soul Master.

But Nan Fusheng was ultimately only a one-ring Soul Master. How powerful could his Spiritual Power be? Wang Bili's First Soul Skill could put someone into an excited state.

It could strengthen resistance against spiritual soul skills to a certain extent. With Zhang Yangzi and the other three Soul Grand Masters added to the mix, what could Class Five possibly use to stop them?

On the field, after Zhang Yangzi and the other two ate the bananas, their Soul Power slowly recovered. Zhang Yangzi said to the two beside him, "We've dragged this out long enough. We're the strongest class. Let's end this quickly."

Zhang Yangzi had no desire to experience nearly being eliminated again. He intended to take down Class Five in one push, lest some other unforeseen change occur.

At the same time, Class Five was thinking the same thing. Nan Fusheng, standing behind the other three, said, "We have to end this quickly. They have a Food System Soul Master, and his soul skill seems to be the recovery type. If we drag this out, things will turn unfavorable for us."

"Indeed. We'll prioritize attacking Wang Jinxi and try to eliminate him first. If we can't, then we'll eliminate that Food System Soul Master first," Tang Wulin said.

This was the correct judgment. Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng were both fast and agile types, so they might not find an opportunity. But during the previous clash with Wang Jinxi, Tang Wulin had discovered that Wang Jinxi's claws greatly restrained him. Naturally, they had to pick the softer target first.

At that moment, Zhang Yangzi on the opposite side

spread the wings on his back once more. The black curtain of light suddenly intensified, covering them within it.

Gu Yue's lips curved slightly. "Darkness Attribute battlefield control?"

She grabbed Tang Wulin and stopped him from rushing out first. Taking two steps forward herself, she came to the forefront of their group of four. The yellow halo beneath her feet shone brilliantly. At that moment, Gu Yue's eyes lit up.

A faint glimmer of silver flashed from the depths of her eyes. She raised her right hand, and a ball of dazzling golden light suddenly burst from her palm. It was as though she held a small sun, and a powerful aura of light erupted from her body.

The lingering Darkness Element remaining in Xie Xie's body after he had been struck by Zhang Yangzi's Second Soul Skill instantly vanished beneath Gu Yue's Light Element. His entire body felt warm and indescribably comfortable, and even his depleted Soul Power was slowly recovering.

Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger possessed the light attribute, while the Shadow Dragon Dagger possessed spatial attributes. Light was its main attribute. Bathed in this aura of light, he naturally felt extremely comfortable.

Zhang Yangzi's Dark Sky Curtain was immediately weakened under the impact of the Light Element, and the three figures within became faintly visible.
