Chapter 145: The

~8 min read 1,508 words

Since Jia Kui is the son of Jia Chong, his martial soul is naturally the Giant Strength Beetle, which Nan Feihuang bestowed with the name Herakles.

This guy is also a simple-minded fellow with a burly build, somewhat like Dian Wei, though his combat prowess is significantly lower than Dian Wei's, while his intelligence is slightly higher.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have returned." Upon seeing Nan Feihuang, Jia Kui immediately bowed, "This is truly wonderful. With you here, our Gu Lei Kingdom has hope in this year's Soul Master Tournament."

He had always heard his father speak of how outstanding Nan Feihuang was, and had been looking forward to his return all this time.

Otherwise, with only the four of them plus Nan Feiling, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate in the tournament; although the academy was not without other students, he preferred to go without rather than settle for teammates who would hold them back.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The three people behind Jia Kui followed him in performing a noble salute to Nan Feihuang; it was clear they were also of noble birth, just without much of the typical playboy air.

"The four of you, introduce yourselves properly to the Crown Prince and his friends," Elder Zhang said.

"Yes, Elder Zhang." Among the four, Jia Kui was the first to step forward, "Greetings, fellow junior students. My name is Jia Kui, twenty-one years old, a level 38 Battle Soul Venerable of the Qiangong Xi, martial soul Giant Strength Beetle; the Crown Prince gave us a new name for it: Herakles."

"My name is Zhang Xingcai, twenty years old, a level 34 Food Soul Venerable, martial soul Fruit." The person who stepped out next was the only woman among the three; while her appearance wasn't exactly stunning, it was certainly pretty enough, and her personality was very gentle and kind, just like her grandfather.

"This... following Jia Kui and Jia Chong, that Xing Daorong who said 'my name will make you laugh', and Pan Feng, known as the 'Peerless General', have also appeared. Have I poked a nest of Three Kingdoms warriors?" Nan Feihuang was speechless, "Wait, there's also Zhang Xingcai? This sounds like the name of Zhang Fei's daughter. Then Elder Zhang's name wouldn't be..."

Sure enough, Nan Feihuang was shocked to see two large characters; Elder Zhang's real name was actually Zhang Fei.

With the same martial soul of Fruit, this girl was Elder Zhang's own granddaughter, having inherited his Fruit martial soul.

The two of them were also the captain and vice-captain of the Gu Lei Team, with status far above the other two.

After all, "Elder Zhang" was just the respectful title everyone usually used for him.

The remaining two had status far inferior to the first two; their families were only minor nobles, and their strength was relatively weak.

But the names of these two...?

"Xing Daorong, martial soul Fire Ox, twenty years old, level 35 Battle Soul Venerable."

He subconsciously glanced at Elder Zhang's desk, where his name was written on the nameplate.

"Pan Feng, martial soul Great Axe, twenty years old, level 35 Battle Soul Venerable."

Both of their aptitudes could be considered decent; although Zhang Xingcai was only level 34, she was a Food System Soul Master. The difficulty of cultivation for this classification is well-known—after all, not everyone has the innate full soul power aptitude of an Oscar. At this age and level, the Food System is already considered quite good.

It's just that these people are the complete opposite of the warriors in the Three Kingdoms. The fierce Zhang Fei and his daughter, who was no slouch in martial arts, are here as Food System Soul Masters who support everyone and have no combat power.

And Jia Chong and Jia Kui, whose personalities should have been very sinister, are instead heroic, burly men.

This is truly just a coincidence. The Three Kingdoms warriors Nan Feihuang brought over are indeed only Xun Yu, Dian Wei, and Lv Lingqi, but it seems he really does have quite the fate with Three Kingdoms warriors. He actually met many of them here who share the same names but are practically their antonyms.

It's just that their aptitudes aren't very good; they are all around twenty years old, yet their soul power is only around level 35. They are about the same as the substitutes from the original Shrek, with only Jia Kui being slightly more outstanding. Before the Soul Master Tournament, if he works hard, he should be able to reach the Soul Ancestor level, which is only a step behind the captains and vice-captains of those Five Elements Academies.

"Then, let us introduce ourselves as well. I am Nan Feihuang, twelve years old, level 44 Battle Soul Sect, martial soul Peerless Fangtian Halberd. This is Lv Lingqi, also twelve years old, level 37 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Venerable, martial soul Feilian Twin-Wing Halberd." Nan Feihuang pointed to himself and Lv Lingqi; since Lingqi could not speak, he had to do it for her.

Hearing their levels, the four people opposite them gasped. This is the level of a twelve-year-old child? That Lv Lingqi is fine; at the same age, they had already seen Nan Feiling, who was at the same level as her. Although they were a bit surprised, it wasn't enough to be overly shocked.

But what the hell is a twelve-year-old level 44? Did you start cultivating in your mother's womb? This level is somewhat too exaggerated.

Seeing the expressions of the few, Nan Feihuang was already used to it. If Lingqi hadn't consumed an Immortal Herb yet, her current level might have been even higher than his and Dian Wei's, as the medicinal power of the Acacia Heartbroken Red far exceeds that of the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Besides, there was still more to shock them later.

Nan Feihuang looked at Dian Wei and nodded.

Dian Wei understood and pointed to himself, "I, Dian Wei, twelve years old, level 45, Battle Soul Sect, martial soul Double Iron Halberds."

Another gasp. There was actually a genius even more terrifying than their Crown Prince; level 45—is this cheating?

No, it should be said that it has never been turned off from beginning to end.

"I have another friend, Xun Yu, but he is not here right now due to some matters. He is also twelve years old and level 40-something. When he returns, I will introduce him to you," Nan Feihuang smiled.

Xun Yu had already consumed the Immortal Herb last night and set off early this morning to hunt for a Spirit Ring; it is estimated that it will take a few days for him to return.

This was also the reason Nan Feihuang told him to consume the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he came to see these people today, a Soul Venerable becoming at least a mid-level Soul Ancestor in a few days would be too frightening.

Now, with the precedents of Nan Feihuang and Dian Wei, seeing another twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor didn't make them feel as strange.

After all, birds of a feather flock together; it is very reasonable for geniuses to hang out with geniuses.

"Hee hee, I don't need to introduce myself, right? You all remember, since my brother is here, my brother will be the captain of the team from now on. Everyone must listen to him. Does anyone have any objections?" Nan Feiling said. She would return to the academy to show off whenever she had the chance and was already a well-known figure in the academy, even hailed as the number one goddess; Jia Kui and the others naturally didn't need her to introduce herself again.

Although she spoke very arrogantly, the four of them, including Jia Kui, completely accepted it.

"That is only natural. The Crown Prince has a noble status and such powerful strength. I am convinced and willing to yield the position of captain to the Crown Prince." Jia Kui was not attached to the position of captain; he didn't want to be accused of being unworthy of his position. Nan Feihuang was far above him in both status and strength, and even if he were allowed to continue as captain, he wouldn't feel comfortable.

"Then, Brother Jia Kui, I will not decline." This time, Nan Feihuang accepted the responsibility of captain. As the Crown Prince, he was naturally the leader of his own country's team.

Besides, apart from him, Jia Kui couldn't command Dian Wei and Lv Lingqi.

"In that case, I am also willing to yield the position of vice-captain to the Princess," Zhang Xingcai said.

"Hee hee, then I won't be modest. Thank you, Sister Cai," Nan Feiling happily accepted. Now, she could go out and show off again.

Especially in the future, when they win the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, wouldn't she, as the team's vice-captain, become world-famous? Just thinking about it is exciting.
