Chapter 118: Entering the Ranking Competition!

The assessment lasted for ten consecutive days; even with only one match held per day, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were both crying out that they couldn't take it anymore.

And so, just as it was time for lunch, Xu Nian'an hadn't seen Tang Ya or Jiang Nannan.

After lunch would be the tenth assessment; once today's match was finished, the top sixty-five groups would be determined to enter the Ranking Competition.

Xu Nian'an waited and waited but didn't see the two of them, so he brought two meals from the Canteen and headed toward the Girls' Dormitory.

Of course, it wasn't that Xu Nian'an truly cared that much about the results of that New Student Assessment.

First place would at most be a soul bone, and not even one with a very high age.

Xu Nian'an didn't even think much of a Ten Thousand Year Head Spirit Bone, let alone that kind of low-quality soul bone.

Xu Nian'an just saw that Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya both cared quite a bit about this so-called New Student Assessment.

He didn't want them to have too many regrets, so he paid a little attention to it.

Downstairs at the Girls' Dormitory.

"It's over, it's over, it's truly completely over now; we won't miss the assessment entirely, will we?"

"Nan Nan, I really didn't mean to not set the alarm, it's just... it's just that I was too tired and forgot."

Tang Ya's apologetic voice rang out.

"It's okay, I just took a look at the time, it should still be in time."

Jiang Nannan comforted her.

Xu Nian'an had just arrived downstairs at the girls' dormitory when he saw the two women rushing down.

The two women were in a hurry, their clothes disheveled, their long stockings one long and one short, and their hair hadn't been tidied up either.

It looked like they had both just woken up not long ago.

"Cough, cough!! Two little beauties, are you interested in joining me for a meal?"

Er Gou appeared, pushing Xu Nian'an.

"Nian'an!"

"Elder Xu!"

The two women turned their heads and saw Xu Nian'an holding the lunch boxes.

Behind the wheelchair, Er Gou would occasionally push with his legs for a moment, then use the momentum to lean on the wheelchair and glide.

"Let's eat first."

Xu Nian'an opened the lunch boxes; fish, meat, spare ribs, everything was there.

The two women looked at each other and couldn't help but reach out their hands at the same time.

"Wuwu... Elder Xu, what's going on? Has the assessment not started yet?"

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an didn't mind at all; he went to Jiang Nannan's side, tucked her golden hair for her, and tidied up her hair.

Jiang Nannan's face turned red.

【Ding, congratulations to the host, Goddess Jiang Nannan's favorability toward you has increased by one (seventy-eight)!】

【First Martial Soul Second Soul Ring age increased by seven thousand years, congratulations to the host, Second Soul Ring age has broken through fifty thousand years!】

Boom!

【Level Thirty-Nine!】

Before Xu Nian'an could even feel the changes coming from his body, there was a roar of soul power.

His soul power had broken through to Level Thirty-Nine.

"You really are my lucky charm, treasure~"

Not far away, Tang Ya watched the intimate appearance of Jiang Nannan and Xu Nian'an, and suddenly felt that the lunch box in her hand was no longer fragrant.

She curled her lips and silently pulled up the white stockings on her legs.

【Ding, Tang Ya envies your relationship with Goddess Jiang Nannan, favorability increased by one (thirty-eight)!】

【Goddess Tang Ya thinks you are a warm man, rewarded with eighteen types of Warm Baby Soul Guidance Device blueprints!】

Looking at Tang Ya, Xu Nian'an discovered that under his half-month offensive of "showing off his love," Tang Ya's envious favorability had risen to thirty-eight, about to break through forty.

Thinking that his Level 4 Soul Guidance Device factory still had no progress, perhaps he could fleece a little from Tang Ya.

His eyes rolled, and Xu Nian'an suddenly thought of the things he had previously obtained from Tang Ya.

These things could only be used by people of the Tang Sect; even if Xu Nian'an had obtained them, they were useless, so he might as well use them to farm favorability.

"Tang Ya, I found some good things in that Tang Sect book knowledge you gave me before; take a look and see if you need them."

As his voice fell, the Storage Ring on Xu Nian'an's right hand flashed, and suddenly, golden needle-like objects appeared.

"This is..."

Seeing these objects emitting a golden light, Tang Ya's pupils narrowed, and then she became excited in an instant.

"Dragon Whisker Needle!"

"That's great, with this, my Hidden Weapon techniques can finally be executed, and I finally have a means of attack."

"Thank you so much, Elder Xu."

【Ding, Goddess Tang Ya's favorability toward you has increased by one (thirty-nine)!】

【Carving technique increased by ten! (forty)】

Seeing Tang Ya's reward, Xu Nian'an smiled.

"Sigh, it's nothing; if it weren't for my injury, and relying on your support along the way, our small team would have probably..."

A carving technique of forty was enough to support Xu Nian'an in carving a Level 4 Soul Guidance Core.

By the way, Xu Nian'an had started learning Level 3 Soul Guidance Device knowledge since going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Based on long-term practical operation, smashing, carving... he was already a qualified Level 3 Soul Guidance Master.

He obtained the Level 3 Spirit Tool Master Medal awarded by Xian Lin'er.

····

Ten minutes later, Xu Nian'an, Jiang Nannan, and the confident Tang Ya entered the assessment area right on time.

Just as he entered the assessment area, Xu Nian'an was the first to see Zhou Yi's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Xu Nian'an, if you lose this match, you'll see what's coming to you. Just you wait!"

Zhou Yi's voice rang out from behind.

Sigh~ When a woman reaches middle age without receiving nourishment and care, it is very easy for her to have a bad temper.

Since the last time, Xu Nian'an had not found an opportunity to care for Zhou Yi.

It seems he will have to help her vent her fire next time.

"Both teams of students, take your positions. Grade One Class One, Xu Nian'an, Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya, versus Grade One Class Three, Huo Long, Bei Jia, Chen Fang."

"The match begins!"

On the wide Soul Fighting Arena, the five people from the two teams stood in a standoff, and there was also one person sitting in a wheelchair.

"First Soul Skill..."

The moment the match began, a yellow Soul Ring lit up on Tang Ya's body.

But before she could finish shouting the name of her soul skill, a figure in the back of the opposing team shot up into the sky.

"Do you also want to dance in the air?"

"I will fulfill your wish!"

"First Soul Skill, Storm Impact!"

His martial soul was actually a rare Flying Martial Soul; he flew into the sky the moment Tang Ya was about to release her soul skill, seized air superiority, and quickly launched an attack on Tang Ya.

Clearly, they had specifically discussed their tactics.

"Tang Ya, watch out!"

Seeing a wind blast shooting toward Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan shouted to warn her, but the two of them surrounded her instantly.

"First Soul Skill, Green Vine Entanglement."

Jiang Nannan was perfectly countered by the opponent's Control System.

Bang!

Not far away, Tang Ya was knocked flying.

The burly man leading the three slowly raised his head, and two yellow Soul Rings descended upon his body.

"Earth Dragon Body Protection!"

"Earth Dragon Tremor!"

Bang!

The ground collapsed, Jiang Nannan was instantly sent flying by the tremor, and the stirred-up rocks scratched her perfect jade-like legs.

Xu Nian'an...???

In the time it took to turn his head, Xu Nian'an was stunned.

His own team had been instantly defeated???

Although he was a bit stunned, Xu Nian'an could still distinguish the urgent from the trivial; his powerful Spiritual Power instantly spread out, calculating the landing spot of Jiang Nannan.

He then used his Spiritual Power to push the wheelchair again, quickly catching Jiang Nannan.

"Heh, it wasn't in vain that we spent three days researching the Shankun Battle Tactics to counter you. Now only you are left. Will you take them down yourself, or should we give you a hand?"

The three quickly gathered together, looking at Xu Nian'an with a cold sneer.

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an narrowed his eyes; it seemed he really had to rely on himself.

Just as Xu Nian'an was about to stand up, three golden lights instantly shot toward the unsuspecting trio; their expressions changed, their pupils contracted sharply, and they immediately fell to the ground in pain.

"What... what happened?"

"Referee! Referee!"

Xu Nian'an turned his head; Tang Ya was lying on the ground, smiling at Xu Nian'an.

"We... we won!!!"

【Grade One Class One, Team Xu Nian'an wins and enters the Ranking Competition!】

(PS: If you think this isn't good, or that it's filler, brothers, you can support my new book:

Douluo: I, Electrolux, Possess Huo Yuhao!

Thanks for the support. I will try to end this plot as quickly as possible, then go to the Extreme North to hunt for a Soul Ring. Guess whose fourth Soul Ring it is, and how many years old.)
