Chapter 49: One vs. Four, Shock and Excitement Across the Arena!
As soon as Ye Wen took the stage, the entire Tianshui girls' section erupted with excitement. The cheers were fierce, passionate, and they were chanting his name.
"Shh! Sisters, keep it low, keep it low!" Ye Wen gestured with his finger for silence, and the crowd instantly quieted down.
Ye Wen wasn't particularly interested in this competition. He found the idea of fighting one by one tedious. Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind, and he turned to the principal of Tianshui Academy, saying, "Principal, it's going to take too much time fighting one by one. How about I fight four opponents at once?"
"What!!"
"Fighting four at once? Did I hear that correctly..."
"This kid is too arrogant! He thinks he can take on four opponents at once? What gives him the confidence?!"
"Yeah! He's too full of himself, doesn't he realize the strength of the others? They're all top students of their grades. What, does he think he's unbeatable?!"
"Such blind confidence, I can't believe it. He's just handing out free points to them!"
Ye Wen's request immediately caused dissatisfaction and mockery from the other four academies.
Tianshui Academy responded, "This needs to be approved by the other four academies first. After all, this situation has never happened before. What do you all think?"
Fighting four at once? How could that possibly work? Isn't that just handing them points? If they, the four academies, beat Ye Wen, each of them could get one point. This seemed like a guaranteed win!
They couldn't believe that a seven-year-old could defeat the best second-year students from all four academies at once.
"Hehe, I have no objections."
"Me neither."
They weren't going to pass up a chance to get points so easily.
"Alright, then, Ye Wen, you can fight four at once," said the principal of Tianshui Academy, smiling.
She was well aware of Ye Wen's strength. Honestly, even fighting ten opponents would probably not be an issue for him.
"Hmph, this arrogant brat. I'll see just how strong he really is," Fire Dance from Chihu Academy said, looking at Ye Wen disdainfully.
Soon, a student from Shenfeng, Xiangjia, Chihu, and Thunder Academies stepped forward, and they would now face Ye Wen.
No one believed Ye Wen could win this match.
Both in the stands and on the stage, there was a chorus of mocking voices.
"Hey, the guy from Tianshui, you sure are confident! If we lose to you, I'll eat dirt on the spot!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go too far! If you really lose, do you dare to eat it?" Ye Wen said, smirking.
"Hmph? We'll lose? Do you think we're weaklings? Everyone here is the best from their grade. Even if you're strong, do you think you can beat all four of us?"
"Don't be so full of yourself. When you lose, you'll see how foolish your arrogance was!"
"One against four? Ridiculous! I've never seen anyone so confident. You're just handing us free points, understand?!"
"Yeah! Your actions are stupid. If you lose, you'll be a laughingstock and embarrass your academy!"
The students on the stage from the four academies all mocked Ye Wen.
"Alright, alright, can we start already?" Ye Wen said lazily, uninterested in arguing with these kids. He didn't care for their mockery and skepticism. He just wanted to finish the fight and rest.
"Hmph! I'll come at you first!" The Thunder Academy student sneered coldly, lightning flashing around his body. His lips curved into a confident smile, and he rushed toward Ye Wen.
"Hey, I suggest you all attack together," Ye Wen reminded them.
"Tch, I don't even need them. I alone am enough!" The Thunder Academy student boasted, his battle strength even stronger than some third-year students.
He was extremely arrogant and didn't heed Ye Wen's advice, throwing a punch straight at Ye Wen.
"Our Thunder Academy second-year student is as strong as a fourth-year student. His speed is incredible, and his power is frightening. Tianshui's boy is going to suffer!" The vice-principal of Thunder Academy chuckled.
"Take my Thunder Punch, kid!"
The Thunder Academy student was almost upon Ye Wen, but Ye Wen simply stood his ground with his arms crossed. Just as the Thunder student's punch was about to hit Ye Wen's face, Ye Wen instantly moved.
He grabbed the Thunder student's fist mid-air.
"What!"
The Thunder student was startled and didn't even have time to react before he saw Ye Wen's palm coming at him.
With a loud slap!
"Ahhh!"
The Thunder student screamed in pain as Ye Wen slapped him to the ground. The student immediately foamed at the mouth, his face twitching, and he lost all ability to fight.
"How... How is that possible?!"
"No way!!!!"
"The Thunder guy was knocked down with a single slap!!"
"What!!! This kid...!" The vice-principal of Thunder Academy, who had just been praising his student, stood up in disbelief, his face pale and embarrassed.
He had just been boasting about how strong his student was, only for the student to be knocked down with a single slap.
"Too strong! Ye Wen-senpai!!!"
"Senior, I love you!!"
The entire arena erupted in cheers as Ye Wen's slap shocked the five academies.
The principal of Tianshui Academy was ecstatic and laughed heartily, "Ahahaha, Vice-principal Lei, seems like your student isn't as impressive as you thought!"
Looking at the Thunder student lying on the ground, still foaming at the mouth, Ye Wen shook his head helplessly, "I told you all to attack together... Why didn't you listen? Sigh."
"Hey, what about you guys? Still going one by one?"
Shenfeng, Xiangjia, and Chihu Academy students immediately activated their Martial Souls.
"Let's go together!"
"Haahh!!"
The three attacked simultaneously. Shenfeng's student was the fastest, using his first soul skill, a speed-type skill, but Ye Wen expertly dodged with a swift turn and then threw a powerful punch.
Boom!
"Ahh!"
Shenfeng's student screamed as his body slammed hard into the ground, losing all ability to fight.
"Damn! First soul skill, Fire as the Stars!"
Boom boom boom!
Chihu's student launched fireballs from his palms. Ye Wen quickly rushed in and dodged them one by one.
"You keep attacking! I'll block him!"
The student from Xiangjia Academy, with his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul, a top-tier defense-type Martial Soul, stepped in front and confidently activated his soul skill.
"First soul skill, Iron Wall!"
"Heh," Ye Wen smiled lightly and threw a punch.
Boom boom!
"Ughhh!"
Ye Wen's terrifying strength shattered the "Iron Wall" shield and struck the Xiangjia student's abdomen.
"How... How is this possible..." The student from Xiangjia Academy was in disbelief as he collapsed to the ground.
This was a joke. Ye Wen had nearly a million-year-old soul bone, an external soul bone, and enhanced physical strength from spirit herbs. How could a mere first-ring Soul Master's defense hold up against that?
Even if his Martial Soul's defense was strong, the low level of the soul skill couldn't provide excellent defense.
"Another one down! Another one down!"
"Too strong! This kid is too strong!"
