As soon as Ye Wen stepped onto the stage, the entire Skywater female student body erupted, wildly and passionately cheering his name.
"Shh! Sisters, keep it low-key, low-key." Ye Wen made a shushing gesture, and the whole venue fell silent instantly.
Ye Wen himself had no real interest in this kind of match. Fighting one by one also felt like a hassle to him. Suddenly, an idea struck, and he said to the Skywater Dean, "Dean, fighting one by one takes too much time. Can I take on four at once?"
"What!!"
"O-one against four? Did I hear that right..."
"This kid, he's way too arrogant! He actually wants to fight four at once? What gives him the right!"
"Yeah! So full of himself, who does he think he's looking down on? Everyone in the exchange meeting is the cream of their year. This kid thinks he's something special! So annoying."
"No kidding. A blind, overconfident loser, if you ask me!"
Ye Wen's request immediately sparked dissatisfaction and ridicule from the other four academies.
The Skywater Dean said, "That would require the consent of the other four academies. After all, this situation has never come up in the exchange meeting before. What do you all think?"
Fight four at once? How was that possible? Wasn't that just handing out points?
If the four of them from the other academies teamed up and beat Ye Wen, each academy would get a point. No matter how you looked at it, that was a guaranteed score!
Because they simply didn't believe a seven-year-old child could simultaneously defeat the top Second Year students from their four academies.
"Heh, I have no objection."
"Neither do I."
They weren't about to pass up a chance for free points like this.
"Very well. Then you'll fight four at once, Student Ye Wen." The Skywater Dean said with a smile.
She knew very well just how formidable Ye Wen's strength was. Forget four, even ten probably wouldn't be a problem.
"Hmph~ Arrogant brat. Let's see just how strong he really is." Huo Wu looked at Ye Wen with disdain.
Soon, one student each from Divine Wind, Elephant Armor, Blazing Fire, and Thunder stepped onto the stage—four of them against Ye Wen alone.
No one believed Ye Wen would win this match.
Whether on stage or off, the air was filled with jeering voices.
"Hey, Skywater boy, you sure are confident! If we lose to you, I'll eat shit on the spot!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go that far, man! If you guys actually lose, will you really eat it?" Ye Wen said.
"Hmph? Lose to you? Do you take us for idiots? Everyone standing in this exchange meeting is the top of their year. No matter how strong you are, can you beat all four of us?"
"Don't be so smug. When you lose, it'll just prove how stupid your arrogance is!"
"Fighting four at once? What a joke. I've never seen anyone as full of themselves as you. You're just handing us free points, get it!"
"Yeah! Your actions are idiotic. When you lose, you'll just be a laughingstock and embarrass your own academy!"
The four students on stage from the other academies all jeered in turn.
"Alright, alright. Can we start now?" Ye Wen couldn't be bothered with a war of words against these kids. He didn't care about the crowd's mockery and doubt. He just wanted to finish quickly and get off stage to rest.
"Hmph! I'll test you first!" The Thunder student snorted coldly, lightning flickering across his body. A confident smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he charged in swiftly.
"Hey, I'd advise you all to attack together." Ye Wen reminded him.
"Tch, no need for them. I'm enough on my own!" This Thunder student's Combat Power was actually stronger than a Third Year's.
He was also extremely arrogant and wouldn't listen to advice. He threw a punch straight at Ye Wen.
"Our Thunder Second Year student here has strength comparable to a Fourth Year student. Not only is he fast, but his lethality is also terrifying. That Skywater boy is probably in for a rough time, hehehe." The Thunder Vice Dean was already laughing.
"Take my Thunder Fist, kid!"
The Thunder student was about to reach Ye Wen, but Ye Wen still stood there with his arms crossed, steady as a rock. Just as the Thunder student's fist was about to slam into Ye Wen's face—
Ye Wen moved in an instant, catching the Thunder student's fist.
"What!"
The Thunder student was startled. Before he could react, he saw Ye Wen's palm swinging toward him.
A loud smack!
"Ahhh!"
The Thunder student screamed, slammed to the ground by Ye Wen's slap. He immediately started foaming at the mouth, his face twitching, and lost all combat ability on the spot.
"H-how is that possible!"
"Holy shit!!!!"
"The Thunder guy got taken down with one slap!!"
"What!!! This kid..." The Thunder Vice Dean, who had just been boasting about how strong his Thunder student was, shot up from his seat in disbelief, his face dark with embarrassment and humiliation.
Hadn't he just been bragging about how impressive his student was, only for him to get flattened by a single slap?
"So amazing, Junior Ye Wen!!!"
"Senior sister loves you, ahhh!!!"
This single slap caused the entire venue to erupt in excitement. Ye Wen had stunned the five academies with just one strike.
The Skywater Dean felt immensely satisfied, thoroughly delighted, and laughed heartily: "Ahaha, Vice Dean Lei, it seems your student isn't all that impressive either."
Looking at the Thunder student on the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching at the lips, Ye Wen said helplessly: "I told you, you should have come at me together! Why didn't you listen? Sigh."
"Hey, what about you guys? Are you still coming one by one?"
Divine Wind, Elephant Armor, and Blazing Fire, seeing this, all activated their Martial Souls.
"Let's go together!"
"Hyaaah!"
The three attacked simultaneously. Divine Wind was the fastest, using his First Soul Skill, a speed-type move, but Ye Wen evaded it with a precise turn, then threw a wide hook punch, landing a single blow.
Bam!
"Ah!"
The Divine Wind student screamed, his body crashing heavily to the ground, also losing combat ability.
"Damn it! First Soul Skill, Fire Like Star Stream!"
Bam bam bam!
The Blazing Fire student continuously shot fireballs from his palms. Ye Wen charged forward swiftly, dodging each one.
"You keep attacking! I'll block him!"
"Our Elephant Armor Academy's Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul is the top defensive Martial Soul on the continent! I'm tough! He can't hurt me! Keep attacking!"
The Elephant Armor student stepped in front, decisively activating his Soul Skill, looking confident: "First Soul Skill, Bronze Wall Iron Barrage!"
"Heh." Ye Wen smiled, throwing a punch straight forward.
Boom boom!
"Uwaaah!"
Ye Wen's terrifying power shattered the bronze wall-like shield with a single punch, slamming into the opponent's stomach.
"H-How is that possible." The Elephant Armor student fell to the ground in disbelief.
Come on, who was Ye Wen? He possessed a nearly Million Year Soul Bone, an External Soul Bone, and Physical Strength enhanced by an Immortal Herb. How could a mere one-ring Soul Master's defensive skill possibly block him?
No matter how strong the defensive power of this Martial Soul was, with such a low level, the defense wouldn't be particularly outstanding.
"Another one down in one hit! Another one!"
"So strong! This kid is too strong!"
