...
"Alright, I agree as well. However, there are three of us. How do you plan to compete, young man?" Chao Tianxiang also spoke up.
The reason she agreed was her confidence that her granddaughter was not inferior to anyone.
The opponent looked even younger than her granddaughter. How much skill could he possibly have?
Defeating the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent was likely just a stroke of luck.
After all, the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent had already fought against her and Zhao Wuji, so it was no longer in any condition to fight.
Of course, if her granddaughter really lost, she could simply refuse to acknowledge the result and take it by force...
In the world of Soul Masters, the strong rule.
He was just a little brat. Could he possibly stand against a Soul Emperor like her?
...
"Hehe, the competition between Soul Masters naturally means a battle. Since I was the one who knocked out the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, each of your sides will send one person to fight me together. If you win, the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent will be yours to distribute," Ye Feng said slowly.
"What? You're saying you'll take on the Soul Masters from both sides by yourself?"
Chao Tianxiang frowned slightly, clearly thinking this kid was being too arrogant.
"Hey, you're just a little brat. What kind of strength do you have to dare spout such nonsense?"
Beside her, Meng Yiran crossed her arms, clearly displeased.
She also felt that Ye Feng was far too arrogant.
She was, after all, a level 30 quasi-Soul Grandmaster. How could she tolerate being provoked by a brat several years younger than her?
"As for my strength, you'll find out when we try."
Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Meng Yiran. Instead, he turned his gaze to the Shrek Seven Devils and raised an eyebrow, asking, "So, who's stepping up?"
"Hmph, I'll do it!"
At that moment, Dai Mubai stepped forward, his face filled with arrogance. "So what if you're a bit stronger? It's nothing special."
Although he said this, he didn't underestimate his opponent in the slightest.
The punch Ye Feng had just unleashed had already made his heart race. He wasn't sure he could withstand it...
However, as a student of Shrek Academy, he had his own pride.
He believed he was no weaker than anyone his age.
Perhaps the other guy had just been lucky, striking the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent when it was already on its last legs, allowing him to succeed in one hit.
In a real life-and-death battle, he didn't think he would be inferior to the other party.
"Big Brother Dai, let me handle this."
At that moment, Tang San stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
Dai Mubai might not have noticed, but Tang San had seen very clearly that the power behind that punch was absolutely immense, definitely surpassing Dai Mubai's.
If Dai Mubai were to clash head-on with the opponent, he would undoubtedly lose and might even get injured.
Tang San guessed that the opponent might have a strength-type Beast Soul, and his Blue Silver Grass happened to be a good counter.
Even if he couldn't win, he could rely on techniques like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to disengage from the battle without getting hurt.
"Teacher Zhao, this..."
Dai Mubai hesitated, then looked at Zhao Wuji.
He actually wanted to step up and show off his strength in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
He hadn't expected Tang San to also want to show off, which left him feeling somewhat helpless.
"Let Xiao San handle it. He's more suited for this," Zhao Wuji said indifferently.
Dai Mubai was definitely no match for the opponent and could easily end up injured.
This battle was most suitable for Tang San. "Alright..." Dai Mubai didn't say more upon hearing this.
...
While the Shrek group was discussing, Ye Feng didn't just wait idly. Instead, he completed the distribution of Lexical Traits.
Colorful Lexical Traits appeared above the heads of Dai Mubai and the others, though they couldn't see them.
[Dragon Vitality Tiger Vigor (Green): Your energy is abundant, and your physiological needs increase tenfold. Energy +10, Stamina -40, Intelligence -10 (Dai Mubai)]
[Admiration of the Strong Mentality (Blue): You are naturally competitive and have an extra fondness for the strong, disdainful of associating with the weak. Strength +20 (Xiao Wu)]
[Justification of Appearance (Green): As someone who values looks, you only have a fondness for the opposite sex with a score of 9.9 or above. Charm +10 (Zhu Zhuqing)]
[Glutton (White): You can eat a lot. Strength +10, Appetite *2, Weight *2 (Ma Hongjun)]
[Bad Habit (White): In the quiet of the night, without a girlfriend, you always like to take a spontaneous flight. Arm Strength +10, Energy -100 (Oscar)]
[First Budding of Love (Blue): You are particularly sensitive to emotions. As a teenager, you yearn for love, are increasingly curious about the opposite sex, and have a strong desire for a partner. Energy +20, Intelligence +10 (Tang San)]
[Love Brain (Green): During the period of love, your looks, figure, and development +10, Intelligence -100 (Ning Rongrong)]
[Laziness (Green): You are very lazy. Energy -10, Mood +30 (Zhao Wuji)]
[Bad Luck (White): Your luck is not good. Luck -1. (Chao Tianxiang)]
[Competitive Spirit (Green): Winning and losing are very important to you. After winning, all attributes +1%, after losing, all attributes -5%, lasting for 7 days (Meng Yiran)]
...
Ye Feng thoughtfully assigned a Lexical Trait to each of the Shrek Seven, as well as Chao Tianxiang and her companion.
By giving out a white Lexical Trait, Ye Feng could gain 1 lottery chance, green 2, and so on.
In this wave, Ye Feng directly obtained 19 lottery chances.
As for not giving out more, it wasn't that Ye Feng didn't have enough unused Lexical Traits, but that he wanted to save them for future use.
After all, many of the Lexical Traits were negative states. If he were to add them all at once, it might cause the Shrek Seven Devils to perish prematurely...
Such good experimental subjects, he naturally couldn't let them die.
As for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu... he would deal with them later.
Ye Feng came back to his senses, looked around, and asked with a light smile, "Are you all ready?"
At this moment, everyone on the field felt a slight daze.
Because just a moment ago, each of them felt as if something had changed about them, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, everyone instantly reacted.
"Ready, I'll be the one to fight," Tang San stepped forward and spoke calmly.
However, as he said this, his gaze unconsciously fell on Xiao Wu.
For some reason, he seemed particularly concerned about Xiao Wu's gaze, especially wanting to perform well in front of her.
He admitted that the opponent was strong, but if he used all his means, he didn't think he would lose.
"If I can defeat her, Xiao Wu will surely think highly of me..." Tang San thought to himself.
Unbeknownst to him, his mindset had subtly shifted.
"I'm ready too. Since you're so confident, let me see what you've got!" Meng Yiran spoke slowly.
For some reason, she was particularly eager to win this battle.
Although two against one was a bit excessive, it was what the other party had requested, and all she wanted was victory!
In fact, she had a vague premonition that if she could defeat her opponent, her state of mind would greatly improve.
