Plans to Farm Noobs, Gets Farmed Instead

The competition was about to begin.

In the earlier matches, contestants from their respective academies had faced off, and some independent Soul Masters had participated as well, but those independent Soul Masters had basically all been eliminated.

Without rigorous training or guidance from instructors, relying solely on their own exploration, they simply could not compare to the properly trained.

The first few rounds had basically eliminated all the independent Soul Masters.

"Why hasn't it reached you yet?"

After watching several rounds, Dugu Yan noticed that Su Yu had yet to appear.

"It should be soon. This competition uses a drawing system, so we still don't know who Su Yu's opponent will be."

Ye Lingling was quite curious about which unlucky person would be matched against Su Yu.

Most of the previous contestants had been Soul Grandmasters or Soul Masters, while Soul Elders were rarely seen.

At present, there were only a handful of Soul Elders.

Of course, if a Soul Grandmaster encountered a Soul Elder, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

There were many contestants, after all, so the matches needed to be decided quickly.

This was only one venue; there were two other locations where matches were also proceeding without pause.

"Next match: Shui Yue'er versus Su Yu."

When Su Yu's name was called, quite a few people looked forward to the match.

Dugu Yan was no exception. Naturally, she began explaining the situation at the arena. "This Shui Yue'er is from Skywater Academy. Her Martial Soul is the Jade Dolphin, and she is a Soul Grandmaster."

While Dugu Yan relayed the information here, Shui Yue'er on the other side had already prepared for battle.

"Let me see which unlucky guy it is. Today, I'll claim the first victory for the seven of us!"

Shui Yue'er was brimming with confidence.

"Yue'er, be careful. We've never even heard of this Su Yu."

Shui Bing'er reminded her.

"He's definitely some nobody. Sister, don't worry yourself over it."

Shui Yue'er dismissed her concerns.

Shui Bing'er wanted to say something else, but Shui Yue'er had already run onto the arena.

"This girl." Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly.

Then Shui Yue'er stepped onto the arena and immediately said, "Where's that Su Yu? Let me see how impressive you really are!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yu landed on the arena.

As though she had a radar, Shui Yue'er immediately locked onto Su Yu with pinpoint accuracy.

"A blond boy? You're quite handsome."

Su Yu said, "Thank you for the compliment, but I won't go easy on you."

Shui Yue'er was eager to fight. "I can talk big too. Hmph, hmph. But this lady won't go easy on you either."

With a thought.

The phantom of a Jade Dolphin appeared behind her. Its body was white and translucent like warm jade, its lines sleek and beautiful. Faint watery light coiled around it, its tail fin gently swayed, and rippling light filled its lively eyes.

Yellow, yellow!

Two Spirit Rings rose.

"Let me see your Martial Soul."

"As you wish."

As his words fell, golden light bloomed.

A holy golden phantom emerged, two pairs of snow-white wings spreading behind it. The phantom wore a dignified expression as specks of golden light flowed around it. A stern, sacred pressure gradually spread out, and an aura of light enveloped the surroundings with an inviolable sense of majesty.

Yellow, purple, purple, black!

Four Spirit Rings rose at once.

Everyone was stunned.

"Four-Winged Angel."

Ning Fengzhi stared intently at the Martial Soul behind Su Yu.

It had been more than ten years since an Angel Martial Soul had appeared. This time, it was not six-winged, but four-winged.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong stared fixedly at Su Yu's Martial Soul.

Fine, an Angel Martial Soul was one thing!

But you were actually a Soul Ancestor too?

What did you eat growing up? Why was the gap between your second and fourth Spirit Rings different from everyone else's?

To them, Su Yu clearly possessed an enormous secret. If they could pry it out of his mouth, they would strike it rich.

For the development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian were both filled with disbelief.

They had thought Yu Tianheng would win the championship, but now that seemed rather uncertain.

Although cultivation could be suppressed, the gap between Spirit Rings was too great, and their physiques and bones differed as well.

The quality of their Martial Souls also differed greatly.

Qian Renxue watched the expressions of those people and secretly laughed. A bunch of country bumpkins. This was merely an appetizer. You would understand later.

The so-called geniuses among you had merely crossed the threshold to meet my younger brother.

"It seems this competition will be quite interesting."

Xue Ye smiled. Now he could see just how strong these younger members of the empire truly were.

Whether there were any promising talents worth cultivating.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Shui Yue'er had already turned pale with fright.

"How are you a Soul Ancestor? How did you cultivate to this level at your age?"

Shui Yue'er was on the verge of tears.

She had become the unlucky one.

She had thought she could bully some weaklings, only to run into an expert.

She had thought she was farming noobs, but the system had directly matched her with an expert who farmed noob-farmers.

"Just luck."

Su Yu spoke as though it were nothing.

Shui Yue'er: ...

Luck?

How could you say that so casually?

Shui Yue'er wanted to curse now, but she managed to hold herself back.

"I'll give you a chance to attack. If you can get close to me, I'll count it as your win. How about it?"

Shui Yue'er said, "Fine. You said it."

She would not let such a good opportunity pass.

"First Soul Skill, Dolphin Sound Wave."

Shui Yue'er unleashed a vibrating sound wave.

This attack could cause slight mental disruption and interfere with the opponent's circulation of Soul Power.

Naturally, Shui Yue'er took advantage of the opening to unleash another Soul Skill.

"Second Soul Skill, Zero-Degree Impact!"

Shui Yue'er condensed a spiraling cannon of icy water and blasted it straight ahead.

With the support of two Soul Skills, Shui Yue'er refused to believe she could not force Su Yu back even one step.

Su Yu was utterly unafraid of Shui Yue'er's sonic attack. To him, its effect was negligible.

"Have you had enough? It's time to end this!"

"First Soul Skill, Holy Light Slash!"

The Angel Holy Sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling radiance. Golden light carrying scorching heat swept toward Shui Yue'er in a slash.

Sword energy crisscrossed through the air, forming a powerful attack.

Shui Yue'er's expression changed.

The sword energy swiftly and effortlessly dispelled her attacks. The closer it came, the more scorching its temperature became.

"No, no, this isn't right!" Shui Yue'er cried out in alarm. It was already too late for her to dodge.

It's over, it's over. Am I, Shui Yue'er, going to be laid up in the hospital for half a year?

In an instant, the sword energy swept past her side, bringing a wave of heat and fierce wind that sent her hair flying.

Still shaken, Shui Yue'er instinctively touched every part of her body.

Other than feeling hot, she was not injured.

That's great. I'm still alive.

Su Yu withdrew his Martial Soul and looked at her. "Remember not to be so arrogant next time, or you'll suffer for it. Consider this strike a lesson for you."

After saying that, Su Yu turned and left.

Shui Yue'er watched his retreating figure, thoughts stirring in her heart. In the end, she put away her Martial Soul and obediently returned to her team.

"Sister." Shui Bing'er walked over to her.

"Are you all right? You nearly scared me to death just now."

Only after confirming that Shui Yue'er was unharmed did Shui Bing'er relax.

"I'm fine. He really is strong, but I'm not convinced," Shui Yue'er said. "Once I reach Soul Ancestor, I'll definitely beat him."

Shui Bing'er smiled. "Yue'er, do you really think you can beat him? Stop dreaming. He didn't even use half his strength just now. That sword energy never intended to hurt you; he was merely frightening you. He only sees you as a rookie."
