Chapter 213 These days, is admitting defeat this easy?
The masked Soul Master sat on the Soul Guidance Metal Table, watching Ye Nanxiao continue to stuff the core magic array into the cannon barrel in the middle of the sword with a numb expression.
Counting on his fingers, he realized he had already stuffed in the eleventh core magic array. The masked soul master simply placed his work casually on the table, waiting for Ye Nanxiao to finish making it.
The hourglass in the arena was already down to one-fifth, but Ye Nanxiao hadn't stopped carving the core magic array and planned to continue adding to it.
With a flick of his wrist, Ye Nanxiao created a triangular indentation on the metal surface, embodying symmetrical aesthetics. Amidst the flying metal fragments, a level six core magic array gradually emerged.
What made the masked Soul Master's eyes widen was that Ye Nanxiao was carving with his right hand while simultaneously rotating a rare metal in his left hand, using the rotation of the rare metal to complete some complex magic array curves without needing the turntable on the workbench.
A soft light appeared in Ye Nanxiao's hand, and the stable fluctuations of soul power announced the birth of this core magic array.
"Hey, are you still going to compete, contestant?" Wang Yu walked up to the masked Soul Master and reminded him, noticing that the Soul Master had been spacing out for quite a while.
"Look at this madman, do you think I still need to compete?" The masked Soul Master pointed at Ye Nanxiao, who was excitedly stuffing the core magic array into the cannon barrel.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yu patted the masked Soul Master on the shoulder and said, "Brother, we still need to follow the proper procedures."
The masked soul master glanced at Wang Yu, pulled a dagger from under his buttocks, and handed it over. "It's already finished. Here you go."
Wang Yu took the soul tool, walked to the referee's stand, and loudly announced, "Mu Shiyi wins this match!"
Hearing this, Ye Nanxiao, who was busy at work, stopped what he was doing, looked up at Wang Yu with a puzzled expression, and said, "I haven't even finished my work yet, and you're already declaring me the winner? What did I do?"
Although he didn't know why he had won, Ye Nanxiao disassembled the soul tool he had just completed, breaking it down into smaller parts and tossing them onto the soul tool metal table. He secretly attached tiny ice blades to his fingers, altering the intricate structure of the core magic array.
Even if this soul tool is completed, Ye Nanxiao, given his current status, cannot take it with him.
Ye Nanxiao walked to the referee's table, found Wang Yu, and asked, "Old Wang, what's going on? I haven't finished yet, how did I win?"
Wang Yu said sullenly, "Didn't you notice there are hardly any people left in the whole place?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao realized that of the group that had been so aggressive just moments before, only the masked Soul Instructor who had led them remained.
The masked soul master looked at Ye Nanxiao, clasped his hands and said, "Your skills are superb, I admire you greatly. The world is vast, we'll meet again another day, farewell!" After saying that, he left, leaving Ye Nanxiao with a dashing back view.
"Are people this carefree when they admit defeat these days?" Ye Nanxiao thought, his eyes wide.
Just as Ye Nanxiao was about to put on his referee uniform, Wang Yu reached out and patted Ye Nanxiao on the shoulder, saying, "It's late, time to go home."
————Separation line
Cautiously removing his disguise, Ye Nanxiao used the Ice Mirror Technique to disguise himself and returned to a temporary safe haven of "Xiao Nanye". He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in a chair, meditated for a while, and then took out a palm-sized triangular soul tool from his storage ring.
The soul tool has a circular microphone in the middle, and a hexagonal crystal on each side. At this moment, the crystal on the left is flashing white light.
Ye Nanxiao pressed the crystal that was flashing white light, and then a lazy female voice came from the microphone in the middle, "The busy man finally has some time?"
"I also want to be a lazy bum and take it easy." Upon hearing this female voice, Ye Nanxiao stretched.
"If it weren't for the agreed-upon communication, I wouldn't have bothered using your communication soul tool today," Orange said with a hint of resentment in her voice.
"Unlike you, I can't sit in a comfortable lab every day," Ye Nanxiao said jokingly, leaning back in his chair.
Ju Zi was nestled in her small bed, her hair still wet, clearly having just taken a bath. Her translucent skin looked as if water could be squeezed out with a gentle touch. The communication soul tool given to her by Ye Nanxiao lay quietly on the pillow beside her.
"It's not exactly comfortable, and besides, I also have things to do, so it's not what you think. And the project the teacher assigned me is quite difficult, okay?" Orange said, sounding like a spoiled little girl.
"How about you bribe me and I'll do Lao Xuan's homework?" Ye Nanxiao tried to find a business opportunity.
"Hmm, if you lower the price a bit, I'll consider it," Orange said with a smile.
"We're such good acquaintances, I'll give you a 9.9% discount. I'm just a small business, so no bargaining." Ye Nanxiao's smile was just like that of a shrewd businessman.
"Dream on! The number of guys who want to help me could circle the entire academy several times, and you're asking for a fee." Orange dried her hair, picked up a cushion, and lay down on it. Her perfectly proportioned breasts displayed an alluring curve. She took out "Fox," held it in front of her eyes, and ran her fingertips over the familiar structure on it.
"Free is not out of the question; I also support equivalent exchange."
The message, which was supposed to be used to communicate the progress of their missions, ended up leading the two to chat about their daily lives.
She was complaining about the troubles she encountered in her daily life, such as how troublesome the assignments given by Xuan Ziwen were. He listened, occasionally gloating and mocking her, which drew a sharp cry from the girl.
"By the way, is that Soul Master named Mu Shiyi recently you?" Ju Zi asked. She had a feeling that this greedy Soul Master was Ye Nanxiao's alias.
"Yes, it's me." Ye Nanxiao didn't deny it. Firstly, he trusted Ju Zi, and secondly, with Ju Zi's intelligence, she would quickly guess it was him.
"What a strange name, what were you thinking?" The girl's clear laughter came through the communication device.
"I didn't think about it carefully, it was just a simple word splitting," Ye Nanxiao said helplessly.
"Hmm, I'll listen to your excuse." Orange closed her eyes and nodded her little head.
Ye Nanxiao didn't realize that during his chat with Ju Zi, the fatigue from disguising his identity gradually dissipated, his tense body relaxed, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him.
Ye Nanxiao was quite confident in the security measures he had set up. Listening to the girl's voice, Ye Nanxiao leaned back in his chair and gradually closed his eyes.
As Ju Zi was talking, she wondered why Ye Nanxiao had stopped talking. Listening carefully, she heard a faint snoring sound coming from the communication soul tool.
"This big silly fox, how did he fall asleep?" Orange pouted, turned over and hugged her pillow. Just as she was about to hang up the message, she heard Ye Nanxiao's indistinct voice.
"What is this big silly fox saying? Is he talking in his sleep?" Orange became excited, thinking she could hear some of Ye Nanxiao's little secrets, and quickly put the communication soul tool close to her ear.
After carefully listening to what Ye Nanxiao was saying, Ju Zi seemed to hear her own name, and her big eyes curved into crescent shapes.
After listening for a while, Ju Zi still couldn't understand what Ye Nanxiao was saying. However, she was also getting sleepy and drifted off to sleep listening to Ye Nanxiao's occasional sleep-talking. That night, Ju Zi slept surprisingly soundly.
After a short nap, Ye Nanxiao rubbed his eyes and woke up, frowning as he rubbed his lower back, muttering to himself, "How did I fall asleep?"
After a moment of confusion, I noticed that the communication device was still lit up, indicating that it was still connecting.
"This thing isn't off? The orange is still here?" Ye Nanxiao picked up the communication soul tool and heard a series of even breathing sounds.
After listening for a while, Ye Nanxiao confirmed that Ju Zi was asleep. He placed the communication soul tool in the chest pocket of his clothes, condensed a screen-shaped piece of floating ice, and took out several blueprints from his storage ring and placed them on it. Those were all Tang Sect hidden weapon modification plans.
"You were talking in your sleep just now, and this little girl wants to hear what you said clearly." Xue Di's voice echoed in my mind.
"What? Did I talk in my sleep again? What did I say?" Ye Nanxiao's hand holding the blueprints froze instantly, and he asked Xue Di with an embarrassed expression.
"It's nothing, just asking Ju Xiaoniu to give you a few more sacks of oranges. Are the oranges that girl makes really that delicious?" Xue Di asked curiously.
"You know what, it's actually quite delicious, it's just that the shelf life is a bit short." Ye Nanxiao licked his lips, recalling the taste of the orange.
"By the way, do you and Orange Girl's plan have any chance of succeeding?" Snow Empress asked.
"There are many plans, but you're asking about the one about creating a god?" Ye Nanxiao asked. There weren't many things that could pique the Snow Emperor's curiosity. After thinking it over, he realized that the only plan he had that could attract her attention was creating a god.
"Hmm, creating gods, are you serious? Becoming a god through faith?" Xue Di asked.
"According to my estimate, the probability is about 60%, but if we add oranges, the probability increases by 10%," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Moreover, many of the divine positions rely on faith, including that of a certain one holding a fork," Ye Nanxiao added.
"Then we'll have to start a war." Xue Di frowned slightly. She had learned about war from comics and knew what kind of catastrophe it would cause to all living beings.
"Even if I don't launch an attack, the Sun Moon Empire will launch one sooner or later. Rather than letting Xu Tianre lead the war, it's better for me to do it. At least I can wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult," Ye Nanxiao comforted Xue Di.
"What are your specific plans?" Xue Di asked.
"First, help Orange take over the Sun Moon Empire. Then deal with the two countries of Heavenly Soul and Fighting Spirit. Although Heavenly Soul is not weak, it is far inferior to the Sun Moon Empire. Fighting Spirit, on the other hand, can be taken over effortlessly. According to the intelligence Orange gave us, the Fighting Spirit royal family has lost its virtue. In that case, overthrowing the royal family and rallying the people is equivalent to taking over the Fighting Spirit country. As for the last remaining Star Luo, facing the Sun Moon Empire which is spreading like wildfire, it is only a matter of time before we take it over." Ye Nanxiao put down the blueprints in his hand, created a clone, and let the clone continue studying the blueprints. He then walked to the side and sat down.
"After conquering the entire continent, the next step is to unify the faith. I'm certain that with the scale of the empire at that time, I can create at least one first-level god," Ye Nanxiao said confidently. Back then, someone with a pitchfork could successfully take over the faith and become a first-level god through the test, so Ye Nanxiao can naturally do the same.
"Can Orange Girl do that across the entire continent?" Xue Di asked. Orange was the image Xue Di had of a simple-minded little girl who liked to bicker with Ye Nanxiao from time to time.
"I wouldn't dare underestimate Ju Xiaoniu; she's telling the truth," Ye Nanxiao shrugged.
"It seems that the seemingly innocent little orange girl is actually quite terrifying. We must be careful of such a person," Xue Di warned.
"I will. At least from the perspective of interests, there is no conflict between me and Ju Zi," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
When there are shared interests, friends will naturally follow.
