Chapter 806 Second Objective: Finding the Crimson Toad Emperor
"Snow Wolf, how potent is the toxin on the Crimson Toad King?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"Hmm, let me think. After I fought this toad, a large patch of my fur was corroded by the meth, and I almost went bald. I also swatted the toad twice, and it ran away," Snow Wolf recalled.
She had to expend a lot of her fur to return to her tribe intact; most of her beautiful fur was burned off. Although the Crimson Toad King was extremely poisonous, it was very fragile and fled after being attacked twice.
After defeating the Crimson Toad King, the snow wolf's fur took a full six months to grow back, a fact that left the snow wolf with lingering fear.
After listening, Ye Nanxiao frowned slightly and calculated the strength of the toxins on the Crimson Toad King.
"The Snow Wolf clan is incredibly powerful. Their claws can crush gold and shatter rocks. Similarly, their fur is also incredibly strong, like a bulletproof vest. If you can easily corrode a Snow Wolf's fur, how thick is your fur again, Snow Wolf?" Ye Nanxiao asked thoughtfully.
"I forgot, I didn't count on purpose, but we only fought twice before everyone turned and ran away," Snow Wolf said casually.
Ye Nanxiao covered his face. He should have thought of that. Why would a wolf pay attention to how thick its fur is? It's not a fox.
"However, the toxins on that toad will leave very obvious traces, which can be seen at a glance, and they will remain for a long time even in the freezing cold. Xiao Nanxiao, why don't you go in and try your luck? Remember to call me when you find that toad so we can fight!" the snow wolf said with a grin.
"Don't worry, if we find it, you'll be the first one we send," Ye Nanxiao replied with a smile, leading the Templar Knights quickly into a glacier.
"Then it's a deal!" the snow wolf said happily.
The Snow Empress reached out and tapped the snow wolf on the head to quiet it down, then asked, "After finding the Crimson Toad King, what are you planning to do? Talk it out of its wits?"
Ye Nanxiao shook his head. "If I encounter the Crimson Toad King, I plan to first check its cultivation level. If it's suitable, I'll try to communicate with it. If not, I'll implant a locator and then leave it to Jing Hongchen to handle himself."
He couldn't possibly try to fool a petty soul beast like the Crimson Toad King, could he? What if he succeeded and the toad only recognized him?
Besides, Meng Hongchen isn't here, so he can't con anything out of her.
"Hmm? Are you planning to capture that toad and keep it as a spirit? If you ask me, we should just knock that stinky toad unconscious and tie it up and take it back!" Snow Wolf suggested, rubbing his head.
"Who would brazenly bring a giant toad into the city? Besides, if someone who knows its value sees it, it might cause panic. The king of a clan will attract many risk-takers. In short, let's find the Crimson Toad King's trail first."
After Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, he reached out and placed his hand on the towering ice surface in front of him. His soul power flowed, melting a large hole in the ice.
Mingdu.
After confirming the list of participants for this year's All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, Mingdu looked at the long list in Ju Zi's hand and was somewhat puzzled as to why there were so many more participating teams than in the previous year. They promptly started the elimination rounds.
Because there were more participating teams than in previous years, the hotels around Sun and Moon Plaza were fully booked. Sun and Moon Empire had to send people to clear out Sun and Moon Plaza and set up multiple competition lanes, which even extended to the front of Aodu Hotel at one point.
The people of Mingdu were very interested in the National Soul Master Competition. Soul Masters were a system they had only heard about from Soul Masters. With great curiosity, the crowd surrounded the Sun and Moon Plaza in several layers.
This demonstrates just how exciting the competition was.
To alleviate the pressure of crowds at Sun and Moon Square, Xu Tianran directly dispatched the Imperial Guards as temporary manpower.
The competition opened, and numerous teams entered the venue in turn.
Shrek Academy, a world-renowned academy, was placed first, appearing at the same time as the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy from the opposite passage.
The crowd that squeezed into Sun and Moon Square to watch the competition were not only the people of Mingdu, but also members of the sects of the participating teams and Soul Masters from the Three Kingdoms. When the Shrek Academy team entered the arena, they burst into loud cheers.
The Shrek team, dressed in bright red uniforms, and the Tang Clan team, dressed in azure blue uniforms, stood in front of the arena in neat and orderly formation, igniting the atmosphere of the entire arena.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team walked up to the Shrek Academy team and stood next to them. The two teams stared at each other, sizing each other up and taunting each other.
"Shrek Academy? You guys are just here for sightseeing, aren't you? You're all like spineless wimps!"
"Get ready to be torn to shreds by our soul tools, you Shrek bastards!"
Dai Huabin and the others' expressions turned cold. Without saying much, they simply raised their thumbs up and then turned them downwards.
"Take out some melon seeds. How can we not watch this big show with the barking dogs?" Qiu'er produced a handful of melon seeds and quietly watched the Sun and Moon Team while cracking them open.
Dai Huabin and the others sprang into action instantly, taking out a handful of sunflower seeds and cracking them open while looking at the Sun and Moon Team, their disdain undisguised.
"Insults? I'm a disciple of Ye Nanxiao!" Qiu'er sneered.
The members of the Sun and Moon team immediately turned red with anger. The sound of the other party cracking sunflower seeds wasn't loud, but it was extremely insulting.
"Is Shrek Academy really this ill-mannered in this grand hall?" The young man leading the Sun and Moon Team opened his eyes and asked.
"Not convinced? Then sign a life-or-death agreement in the arena later!" Qiu'er was too lazy to waste words with the young man opposite her. Golden light flashed in her eyes, and a strong aura burst from her body.
"You!" Faced with Qiu'er's imposing presence, the young man was unable to withstand it and swayed precariously.
He absolutely could not lose face in front of his teammates, especially in front of everyone!
Nine rays of light shone on him.
"Enough, Lan Xiu!"
A surge of soul power swept over, blocking Qiu'er's might.
Xiao Hongchen stared coldly at Lan Xiu. "Are you trying to lead the Sun and Moon team to violate the competition rules?"
Lan Xiu gritted his teeth, slapped his chest, and suppressed the nine orbs of light.
Xiao Hongchen's cold gaze swept over each team member, especially the troublemaker from earlier. The team members whose gazes were swept over all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
The current Xiao Hongchen is no longer the arrogant and conceited person he used to be. After diligently cultivating the lessons left to him by Ye Nanxiao, he has undergone a complete transformation, and his mentality is much stronger than before.
Lan Xiu, who possessed the Nine Luminaries, was completely unable to withstand Xiao Hongchen.
If it weren't for Jing Hongchen's prior statement, Xiao Hongchen would be the current captain of the Sun and Moon Team.
Huo Yuhao stood in the Tang Sect team, silently watching Qiu'er's performance. After seeing Xiao Hongchen's reaction, he narrowed his eyes slightly. He could feel the powerful soul power fluctuations that flashed by on Xiao Hongchen's body.
The latest novel is first published here!
The usually arrogant Xiao Hongchen would not be so indifferent in the face of provocation.
"This guy has become stronger, and so has his mentality. He'll be a tough opponent!" Huo Yuhao thought with a chill.
In this tournament, the biggest opponent is undoubtedly the Sun and Moon team. Judging from the performance just now, although Xiao Hongchen is not the captain, he is definitely the core of the team.
Xiao Hongchen seemed to sense Huo Yuhao's gaze and turned to meet his eyes.
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and nodded slightly, while Xiao Hongchen laughed, his smile brimming with confidence.
"Let me show you just how powerful I am after Nanxiao's training!"
"I only have one prized disciple! And that disciple is me!"
The two men stared at each other, their eyes filled with fighting spirit, wishing they could leap onto the stage right now and have a big fight.
Meng Hongchen stood at the back of the group, her gaze sweeping past the Shrek Academy team and searching through the Tang Sect team.
The figure I longed for day and night was nowhere to be found; instead, it was caught by another gaze.
Jiang Nannan looked at Meng Hongchen, who appeared to be a cheerful young girl, and didn't sense much hostility from her, so she smiled slightly.
When Meng Hongchen saw Jiang Nannan's smile, she was immediately excited. The latter was Nanxiao's first wife, who would later become the First Madam. She had finally won the First Madam's smile!
A smile creates a good impression!
The strange atmosphere between the three teams was noticed by their respective team leaders, who exchanged glances, nodded, and then looked away.
Xu Tianran, dressed in royal robes, sat on a floating chair and slowly floated up to the viewing platform. His little maid, Fenghua, followed closely beside him, and behind her were Jing Hongchen and Juzi.
"It seems the Sun and Moon team is in high spirits. Brother and sister Hongchen, the hall master has done a great job in teaching them. Observing Hongchen's demeanor and bearing, there has been a great improvement since the last competition."
Xu Tianran's gaze fell on Xiao Hongchen, and he asked, "Xiao Hongchen, why aren't you the captain of the Sun and Moon Team?"
Jing Hongchen bowed slightly and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, although Xiao Hongchen's cultivation has improved considerably, his overall strategic vision is still far inferior to Lan Xiu's. A team commander must have a strategic vision and be able to accurately direct the team in battle. Xiao Hongchen's current fighting style is too self-centered, and he is not qualified to be a commander."
The answer was reasonable and well-founded, and the analysis was objective, which made Xu Tianran nod slightly and not pursue the matter further.
The captain of the Sun and Moon team can be anyone, as long as they can lead the team to victory.
Xu Tianran's gaze shifted, landing on the Tang Clan team dressed in azure blue uniforms. After a moment's scrutiny, his eyes settled on Jiang Nannan. "Has Ye Nanxiao arrived? But he's not with the team?"
"Your Majesty, Ye Nanxiao is not a participant in this competition, but rather an accompanying instructor. He should be waiting outside the venue," Orange said.
Upon hearing Ju Zi's answer, a cold glint flashed in Xu Tianran's eyes. "You're not going to be a team member but a teacher? Ye Nanxiao, are you really that confident that the Tangmen team will be invincible and advance smoothly?"
Jing Hongchen and Ju Zi both heard Xu Tianran's whisper and lowered their heads to rest.
Both of them were well aware that Xu Tianran would definitely give special treatment to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy teams; they didn't even need to guess.
Orange slightly opened her eyes, glanced at the next group of people entering, and only after confirming that everything was in order did she breathe a sigh of relief.
