113: When I was in Canghui College, the fish took the bait

Chapter 113: Canghui Academy's Shi Nian, The Fish Takes The Bait

Shi Nian secretly clenched his fists, a ruthless thought forming in his mind: “Good, a very bold boy. Since he’s so eager to die, then I don’t mind killing you!”

“Go!!!”

The team led by Shi Nian left in a huff.

During the current competition period, it was strictly forbidden for participating academies to engage in private brawls, conflicts, or cause deaths. Once investigated, their qualification to compete would be directly revoked.

So, even though Shi Nian desperately wanted to kill Ye Wen, he didn't dare to act so openly.

“Hehe, I hope the fish takes the bait tonight.” Ye Wen also watched Shi Nian’s departing back with a look full of killing intent and greed.

As soon as Ye Wen knew that the other party was truly Shi Nian, he had already harbored a killing intent.

Poor Shi Nian hadn't realized that while he wanted to kill Ye Wen, Ye Wen also wanted to kill him.

After leaving the hotel, Shi Nian, concealing his killing intent, said to his students: “You continue to look for a hotel. I have something I need to take care of.”

“Alright, Teacher Shi Nian.”

Soon, the hotel room was booked; it was a separate villa suite where everyone from Monster Academy could stay, and each person had their own room.

After checking in, everyone planned to go out to a restaurant together, so they left the hotel as a group.

Shi Nian didn't leave; he hid in the shadows outside the hotel entrance. Seeing Ye Wen and the others emerge, a hint of excited smile appeared on his lips: “Hehe, I knew you would come out.”

At this time, it was not yet 6 PM. People arriving in Heaven Dou City at this hour were generally still eating dinner, so Shi Nian guessed they might come out to eat together, and he was proven right.

“Boy, today, you will pay the price of death for your arrogant attitude, hmph hehe hahaha!” Shi Nian laughed excitedly.

Among the Monster Academy group heading to the restaurant, Ye Wen suddenly stopped, intentionally saying: “Oh, I forgot something at the hotel. You guys go ahead, I’ll get it and then come over.”

“Okay, hurry up, Ye Wen.”

“Mm, you guys go first.” Ye Wen watched his companions leave, then turned to walk back to the hotel alone, deliberately slowing his steps.

He wasn't going back to the hotel to get anything at all; he was intentionally creating an opportunity for Shi Nian to make a move on him.

Ye Wen had deliberately provoked Shi Nian just now, wanting him to come and kill him, so he could counter-kill!

And based on his understanding of the original work, Shi Nian was a ruthless individual, so Ye Wen guessed that there was a high probability the other party would want to kill him, which was why he was fishing.

As for Shi Nian’s Spirit and abilities, Ye Wen was quite clear.

Shi Nian was a pure illusion-type Spirit Master, with his Soul Power reaching the Spirit Saint level.

Illusion-type Spirit Masters could be very strong or very weak. Their power mainly lay in the Weird (guǐyì - strange/ Weird) abilities of their Spirit and Spirit Abilities, using illusions and mental manipulation. They primarily specialized in mental-level combat methods.

Such Spirit Masters, even if only at the Spirit Saint level, had a high chance of solo-killing a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse. Of course, there was also a high possibility they could be solo-killed by a Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Master.

Their combat power fluctuated greatly; they could kill opponents above their level or be killed by opponents below their level, depending on the opponent.

Because if their illusion, illusionary realm, and mental-level attacks were ineffective or failed, then their physical attacks and combat power would be very weak, and their strength would become much worse.

Therefore, the illusion-type Spirit Masters feared Spirit Masters with powerful Mental Energy the most!

Because the stronger the Mental Energy, the less they feared mental-level attack abilities.

Coincidentally, Ye Wen’s Mental Energy in his human form was incredibly terrifying! At only the Spirit King realm, his Mental Energy was infinitely close to that of a Titled Douluo-level Spirit Master!

Shi Nian, easily killable!

Ye Wen walked leisurely, the surrounding scenery subtly changing. Shi Nian’s illusion was subtly altering everything before his eyes.

But Ye Wen noticed!

He sensed that he had already fallen into Shi Nian’s illusion.

“Heh, the fish still took the bait, didn’t it?” A barely perceptible smile appeared on Ye Wen’s lips. He didn’t expose it immediately, following the illusionary path created by Shi Nian.

“Heh hahaha! Come on, foolish youth! You haven't fully realized that you've long deviated from the path back to the hotel, hehe hahaha. Today, you will die in my Spirit, Fading Dream.” Shi Nian, in the shadows, his face contorted with excitement, laughed wildly. He slightly licked his lips, full of killing intent.

Ye Wen pretended not to know, walking straight ahead, but he knew he had arrived in an unpopulated forest.

“Heh, this foolish boy, he’s walked for so long and still hasn’t noticed? With only this much ability, he dares to be so arrogant. He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him.” Shi Nian’s face was filled with disdain.

But just then, Ye Wen’s voice suddenly and unexpectedly rang out: “Hey, I say, Teacher, the leader of Canghui Academy, this place is secluded enough. I think you can come out now, can’t you?”

“What!! This boy…” Shi Nian’s expression changed drastically. Ye Wen’s words instantly darkened his heart. He didn't appear, but said in a deep voice: “You… you knew all along?”

“Otherwise? Who could your broken illusion fool?!”

Shi Nian thought Ye Wen didn't know, but this boy had already discovered it. His face was uncertain, because there was one thing he couldn't figure out: “Since you knew, then why did you still come here? Are you looking for death?”

“Or are you saying, boy, that you think you will be my opponent?”

As they conversed, Shi Nian quickly released his Mental Energy to probe the surroundings. Illusion-type Spirit Masters generally also had relatively strong Mental Energy. He was relieved when he confirmed there was no one else around.

“Yes! Is it very difficult to defeat you?” Ye Wen said nonchalantly.

“Hahaha! What a arrogant and ignorant fool! Do you know who I am?” Shi Nian burst into laughter, finding it very interesting and amusing. A boy of about 12 years old actually had the thought of solo-killing him?

Simply idiotic!

“Alright, you should hurry up and come out to die. I still have to go eat.” Ye Wen was too lazy to waste words with him.

“In my life, I, Shi Nian, have never seen such an arrogant and ignorant boy like you. Still want to go eat? Do you think you can leave?” Shi Nian had just finished speaking.

Ye Wen had already released his Spirit and spirit rings: purple, purple, black, black, red. The five terrifying spirit ring configurations directly blinded Shi Nian’s eyes.

“Holy crap!!!!”

“How… how is that possible!!!”

Shi Nian’s jaw dropped instantly, his eyes widened, and he roared internally with immense shock.

“What kind of monster is this boy!!!”

Shi Nian was a little scared. Ye Wen’s configuration was indeed terrifying.
