One Against Four, Leaving the Entire Crowd Stunned and Hype!

The moment Ye Wen stepped onto the field, the girls from Skywater Academy went wild, cheering his name with unrestrained passion.

"Shh! Ladies, take it easy, take it easy." Ye Wen put a finger to his lips, and the entire crowd fell silent again.

Ye Wen himself had no interest in this kind of competition. Having to fight them one by one sounded like a hassle, so he suddenly had an idea. He turned to the Skywater Dean and said, "Dean, fighting them one at a time will take too long. Can I fight all four at once?"

"What?!"

"One... one against four? Did I hear that right...?"

"That kid's way too arrogant! He actually wants to take on four people at once? What makes him think he can do that?!"

"Exactly! He's so full of himself. Who does he think he is? Everyone at the Exchange Meeting is one of the best in their year. Does this kid think he's that amazing? I can't even."

"Right? What an obnoxiously overconfident guy. Just look at him!"

Ye Wen's request immediately drew jeers and dissatisfaction from the other four academies.

The Skywater Dean said, "We'll have to ask the other four academies what they think. This has never happened at the Exchange Meeting before. What do you say?"

One against four? How could that work? It was practically handing them points.

If the four of them teamed up and beat Ye Wen, each academy could earn a point. How could that be anything but a guaranteed score?

After all, none of them believed a seven-year-old child could defeat the top Second Year students from all four academies at once.

"Heh, I have no objections."

"Neither do I."

They weren't about to pass up a chance to earn points for free.

"Very well, you can fight all four at once, Ye Wen," the Skywater Dean said with a smile.

She knew exactly how powerful Ye Wen was. Four opponents would be nothing—he could probably handle ten.

"Hmph. What an arrogant kid. I'll see just how good he is," Huo Wu said, looking at Ye Wen with disdain.

Soon, one student each from Divine Wind, Elephant Armor, Blazing Fire, and Thunderclap stepped onto the field. Four of them would fight Ye Wen alone.

No one believed Ye Wen would win this match.

Both on and off the field, people were jeering at him.

"Hey, that boy from Skywater, you're pretty confident, aren't you? If we lose to you, I'll eat shit right here!"

"Whoa, whoa, don't go that far! If you really lose, are you actually going to eat it?" Ye Wen asked.

"Hmph! We'll lose? Do you think we're all useless? Everyone at the Exchange Meeting is one of the best in their year. No matter how good you are, can you beat all four of us?"

"Quit acting like you're all that. When you lose, you'll just prove how stupid your arrogance is!"

"One against four? What a joke! I've never seen anyone this confident. You're just giving us points for free! Got it?"

"Exactly! What you're doing is stupid. When you lose, you'll become a laughingstock and disgrace your academy!"

The four students on the field jeered at him one after another.

"Okay, okay, can we get started?" Ye Wen couldn't be bothered to argue with a bunch of kids. He didn't care about their taunts or doubts; he just wanted to finish the match and get off the field to rest.

"Hmph! I'll take you on first!" The Thunderclap student gave a cold snort. Thunder crackled around him as he charged forward, a confident smile tugging at his lips.

"Hey, I'd advise you all to attack together," Ye Wen warned him.

"Please. I don't need them. I'm more than enough on my own!" This Thunderclap student was actually stronger than even the Third Year students.

He was extremely arrogant and didn't listen to Ye Wen's warning. He punched straight at him.

"This Second Year student from Thunderclap is almost as strong as a Fourth Year student. He's not only fast, but his attacks are devastating, too. Your boy from Skywater is in for a rough time, heh heh heh." The Thunder Vice Dean was already grinning.

"Take my Thunder Fist, kid!"

The Thunderclap student was almost upon Ye Wen. Yet Ye Wen still stood calmly in place with his arms crossed. Just as the student's fist was about to slam into his face, Ye Wen suddenly moved and caught his fist in his hand.

"What?!"

The Thunderclap student was stunned. Before he could react, he saw Ye Wen's hand swing toward him.

A loud slap rang out!

"Argh!"

The Thunderclap student screamed as Ye Wen smacked him to the ground. Foam spilled from his mouth, and his lips twitched. He was instantly out of the fight.

"H-How is that possible?!"

"Holy shit!!!!"

"The Thunderclap guy got slapped down in one hit!!"

"What!!! That kid..." The Thunder Vice Dean, who had just been bragging about how strong his student was, stood up in disbelief. His expression darkened, and he looked both embarrassed and humiliated.

He'd just been bragging about how strong his student was, only for the kid to get flattened with a single slap.

"Ye Wen, you're amazing!!!"

"Senior, I love youuu!"

That single slap sent the entire crowd into a frenzy. With just one blow, Ye Wen had stunned all five academies.

The Skywater Dean felt utterly satisfied. Laughing heartily, she said, "Ahahaha! Vice Dean Lei, your student doesn't seem all that impressive after all."

Looking down at the Thunderclap student sprawled on the ground, foaming at the mouth with twitching lips, Ye Wen said helplessly, "I told you to attack together. Why didn't you listen? Sigh."

"Hey, what about you three? Are you still going to come at me one by one?"

Seeing what had happened, the students from Divine Wind, Elephant Armor, and Blazing Fire all activated their Martial Souls.

"Attack together!"

"Yaaah!"

All three charged at once. The Divine Wind student was the fastest and used his first Soul Skill, a speed-based one. But Ye Wen deftly spun aside, then swung a huge punch.

Bang!

"Argh!"

The Divine Wind student screamed as he crashed hard to the ground, out of the fight as well.

"Damn it! First Soul Skill, Fire Like Star Stream!"

Thud, thud, thud!

The Blazing Fire student kept launching fireballs from his palms. Ye Wen charged forward, dodging each one.

"Keep attacking! I'll hold him off!"

"The Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul from Elephant Armor Academy is one of the best defensive Martial Souls on the continent! I'm built like a tank! He can't hurt me! Keep attacking!"

The Elephant Armor student stepped in front and decisively activated his Soul Skill, his face brimming with confidence. "First Soul Skill, Bronze Wall Iron Barrage!"

"Heh." Ye Wen grinned and punched straight ahead.

Boom, boom!

"Uwaaah!"

Ye Wen's terrifying strength shattered the shield like a bronze wall and slammed into the student's stomach.

"H-How is this possible?" The Elephant Armor student fell to the ground in disbelief.

Give me a break. Who was Ye Wen? He had a nearly Million-Year Soul Bone, an External Soul Bone, and a body strengthened by Immortal Herbs. How could the defense of a mere One-Ring Soul Master possibly stop him?

No matter how powerful that Martial Soul's defenses were, its level was too low for them to be particularly impressive.

"He took another one down in one hit!"

"That kid's incredible! He's way too strong!"
