Chapter 1: The First Soul Skill: Plants vs. Zombies
Soto Grand Soul Fighting Arena, First Ring Soul Fighting Division, eight-year-old Lan Nuo looked quite immature even in the First Ring Division, making people wonder how his parents dared to let him participate in the Soul Fighting.
But the referee didn't care about that, and still followed the procedure: "Contestants, report your names."
"Lan Nuo, eleventh-level plant soul master!"
On the other side of the arena, his opponent was much stronger than him, and was at least fourteen or fifteen years old. Hearing this, he said in a muffled voice: "Cressy, nineteenth-level beast soul master! Boy, don't get beaten to death later!"
Faced with this match with a huge disparity in strength, the audience on the stage not only did not boo, but cheered and screamed loudly. Most of them were not soul masters and they couldn't understand whether the match was exciting or not. They just wanted to see the strong trample the weak under their feet and then cheer for the strong.
There is no doubt that Lan Nuo was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of martial soul and level, and no one would doubt that he would be beaten badly! But no one sympathized with him. Some drunken spectators even shouted, "Kill him!"
"The game begins!"
The referee had seen too many similar games. Neither side was a well-known player. The only thing that could attract the audience was violence and blood. The eight-year-old kid was just unlucky and was crazy about money.
"Hahaha! I'm going to break your neck!" Cressy roared. His palms had turned into broad bear paws, and a circle of yellow spirit rings flashed: "Brown Bear Power!"
The dark red light covered his pair of bear paws. The terrifying power was added to his body. Every time he ran a step, the earth would tremble. With the cheers of the audience, Cressy was like a chariot, crushing towards Lan Nuo.
Compared to Cressy's ferocity, Lan Nuo seemed very lazy. He only saw him scatter a seed on the ground in front of him, and then scatter two seeds on both sides of the seed.
The audience was confused. Even if a plant-type spirit master could give birth to plants, it would be too late to plant them on the spot.
But soon, they were surprised to find that in front of Lan Nuo, small bags were puffing up. Some of the audience couldn't help but ask, "What are those?"
Some people with good eyesight said uncertainly, "It seems to be potatoes, especially big potatoes"
"Why is he planting potatoes on the battlefield?"
"Hahaha! He is here to make people laugh!"
"Maybe he wants to use potatoes to please his opponent, hahaha!"
The laughter came one after another, but soon stopped abruptly, because new plants grew on both sides of Lan Nuo. They had big heads and slender necks, connected to a pair of small leaves on the ground, which seemed very inconsistent. After growing out, they swayed in the wind and looked cute!
These strange things, which were not sure whether they were animals or plants, were blue, green, and had eyes on their big heads, as well as a round mouth like a bottle mouth. They didn't look like combat-capable plants at all.
The laughter that stopped abruptly broke out more violently after a short pause.
"Hahaha! What the hell are these!"
"These little things are used to coax children, right?"
"Haha! That's right! Parenting-oriented soul master!"
Crexi also saw these plants, with a disdainful smile on his face. Strong plants often look very ferocious, such as flexible tentacles and sharp thorns, but this thing in front of him has no edges or corners, so how can it have any attack power.
"What a childish martial soul! Watch me chop your martial soul into pieces!"
Crexi passed by the potato field and stepped on the potatoes without paying any attention to them.
Boom!
The potatoes that were stepped on exploded, and the shock wave blew away the more than 80 kilograms of Crexi. Even with the power of the brown bear, he couldn't help but roll on the ground for several times before getting up.
"Asshole! You plotted against me!" Cressy climbed up with blood all over his body. What he stepped on just now was naturally the potato mine in Plants vs. Zombies. Although the explosion power was not as strong as a grenade, it was as powerful as an oversized firecracker. There were more than 30 potatoes in front of Lan Nuo. If he stepped on several of them at once, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Haha! Do I have to tell you all my soul skills before the game to be fair?" Lan Nuo was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered the plants: "Fire!"
Puff puff puff~
Continuous spraying sounds rang out, and fist-sized peas were sprayed out and hit Cressy hard. Each pea had the power of a baseball thrown at full speed. The feeling of being hit was much more painful than an adult's full-strength punch. No one expected that these cute little guys would be so fierce!
At this moment, there were as many as 70 or 80 huge peas flying out, and many of them were ice blue with a strong chill. There was no doubt that the plants on both sides of Lan Nuo were pea shooters and ice shooters.
The pea shooter can spray high-speed peas to attack the enemy, while the ice shooter has an additional ice attribute, which can slow down the enemy hit, and in reality, it will also cause freezing damage.
Cressy is almost equivalent to facing a first-ring soul master who can punch a hundred times a second, and half of his fists are also carrying strong cold air. The bear claws are waving continuously in front of him, but they only smash a dozen peas before his arms become sore and his hands become numb. A layer of blue frost is even stained on his body, and his movements become slow, and he can no longer avoid the next attack.
Bang, bang, bang! The huge pea hit him, and the strong reaction force made the pea explode. You can imagine how strong the force was. Cressy was blown up by the strong impact and fell to the ground. He struggled but could not get up again.
The audience who were cheering for Cressy just now were like chickens with their necks pinched. They were unable to make a sound. The whole stadium was silent, and even the cheers from the next stadium could be clearly heard.
"The game is over! The winner is Lan Nuo!"
With the referee's verdict, the stadium welcomed cheers again after a moment of silence. The audience is always forgetful. Netizens' memories are only seven days, and theirs are even shorter. They were just laughing at Lan Nuo, but now they started cheering for him.
Lan Nuo ignored the ridicule or cheers and left the arena on his own. After returning to the lounge, he stretched out his hand to the receptionist and said simply: "Give me money!"
"Hmph! What an unpleasant kid." The receptionist rolled her eyes, took out ten gold soul coins, and threw them into Lan Nuo's hands.
He put the gold soul coins in his pocket, yawned, and walked out of the fighting arena as if he hadn't woken up. When he went out, he saw a handsome middle-aged uncle in his thirties and greeted him: "Master Mao! I won! Give me the money for the bet!"
The handsome uncle called Master Mao heard this and said calmly: "Betting? What betting? Where did the betting come from?"
"Are you going to give it to me? If not, come and get it yourself!" Lan Nuo said, and there were already a few more cherries in his palm. Seeing this lovely fruit, Master Mao retreated as if he had seen a ghost!
"Little bastard, you have no conscience! If I hadn't picked you up from the soul beast forest, you would have been eaten by the soul beasts!"
"Let's get it together! Give me the money!" Lan Nuo put away the cherry, and a dark mushroom appeared in his other hand, which looked very dangerous.
"Fuck! Don't mess around! Here you go! I'll open a bet on how many minutes it will take you to admit defeat after being beaten. Five minutes to 1.2, ten minutes to 1.2, fifteen minutes to 1.3, and half an hour to 1.5.
In the end, you won, and the dealer took it all! A total of 500 gold soul coins were earned, and these 200 are your share of the money!"
As he said this, the cat threw out a purse, and the jingling sound fell into Lan Nuo's ears and was extremely pleasant.
