Chapter 31 Shen Ciyuan, Unrivaled Mirror Master
Shen Ciyuan smiled and said, "Nan Xiao, please guide me. Remember to help me to the medical room later. ♦👺 ❻9ѕ𝔥Ữ乂.𝓒ⓄⓂ 💚♖"
Looking at Shen Ciyuan's smiling face, Ye Nanxiao had a bad feeling and asked in his heart, "Xue'er, doesn't this guy look like one of those guys who pretend to be weak but are actually strong?"
"I can't tell yet, but you'd better be careful," Xue Di said calmly as she floated in Ye Nanxiao's sea of consciousness, her beautiful eyes occasionally revealing a thoughtful expression.
"Alright, alright, let's get started. Xiao boy, watch your step." Elder Xuan sat down on the side, pulled a chicken leg out of his pocket, looking just like an audience member who had prepared popcorn.
Shen Ciyuan's expression changed instantly, his cold gaze, like the cold moon, constantly scanning Ye Nanxiao. During the battle, he appeared extremely stern, with the Cold Moon Mirror floating behind him and three soul rings appearing on his body, a standard combination of two yellow and one purple.
Ye Nanxiao's martial spirit quietly possessed him, and with a wave of his right hand, an ice prison accurately captured Shen Ciyuan. Shen Ciyuan looked at the ice prison that imprisoned him without the slightest panic. His first spirit ring shone brightly, and a beam of moonlight shone from the Cold Moon Mirror onto Shen Ciyuan, covering him with a layer of dazzling light, as if he were wearing armor of light.
Without hesitation, Shen Ciyuan charged directly into the ice prison.
"Bang!" The ice prison, which was strong enough to block a power-attack type Soul Master of the same level for two seconds, was directly smashed open by Shen Ciyuan. Ye Nanxiao's expression was a little surprised, "Isn't this guy a support Soul Master? How come his fighting style is similar to that of a power-attack type Soul Master?"
Seeing Shen Ciyuan approaching directly, Ye Nanxiao immediately rushed forward, with the "bird ice pillars" floating behind him leading the charge towards Shen Ciyuan.
A smile appeared on Shen Ciyuan's cold face. The Cold Moon Mirror floating behind him shone with a cold light, and his third soul ring lit up. A layer of light brighter than before enveloped Shen Ciyuan, like a protective shield. At the same time, the phantom of the Cold Moon Mirror magnified and appeared behind Shen Ciyuan, but it looked very dim.
When the "bird-shaped ice pillars" touched Shen Ciyuan's protective shield, the ice pillars did not explode, but instead melted directly into Shen Ciyuan's protective shield. The illusory image of the Cold Moon Mirror behind Shen Ciyuan also became brighter and brighter, but the protective shield on his body began to melt away.
Seeing Shen Ciyuan charging straight at him again, and with the "Flock of Birds Ice Pillars" having no effect, Ye Nanxiao suddenly stopped, clasped his hands together in front of him, and his soul rings glowed. His aura suddenly surged, and soon, an even denser "Flock of Birds Ice Pillars" shot out, while the "Millennium Ice Prison" trapped Shen Ciyuan once more.
"It's useless." Shen Ciyuan withdrew his smile, his expression returning to blank. He threw a punch, shattering the ice prison in front of him. The broken ice fragments rushed towards the approaching "bird ice pillars".
The ice blocks in the ice prison collided with the "bird ice pillars," creating a shower of ice shards. Some of these shards hit Shen Ciyuan, accelerating the disappearance of the protective shield on his body.
Watching Shen Ciyuan's fighting style and combat power, everyone watching from the sidelines except Luo Xinyao was more or less surprised. They hadn't expected Shen Ciyuan, who possessed an auxiliary martial soul, to have such amazing combat power.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's figure appearing and disappearing behind the shattered ice, the Cold Moon Mirror behind Shen Ciyuan shone brightly, shooting out a shockwave the size of a pillar straight towards Ye Nanxiao.
The flying ice shards not only blocked Shen Ciyuan's view, but also Jiang Nannan and the others' view. The moment their vision cleared was when Ye Nanxiao was directly hit by the shockwave emitted by the Cold Moon Mirror. The violent airflow blew away all the surrounding ice shards.
"Nanxiao!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed. Lin Susu, who was beside her, hugged Jiang Nannan and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, Elder Xuan is here. Trust Nanxiao."
Jiang Nannan clutched the pendant on her chest, her beautiful eyes filled with worry as she looked at Ye Nanxiao on the field.
Shen Ciyuan coldly watched Ye Nanxiao being hit by the shockwave, the light from the Cold Moon Mirror shining on him from behind.
Shen Ciyuan was enveloped in a layer of mirror light once again, and suddenly swung his fist behind him. The timing was perfect; the fist arrived as soon as he did.
All the onlookers saw was Ye Nanxiao, who appeared behind Shen Ciyuan, taking a punch from Shen Ciyuan before he could defend himself.
"Huh? Something's not right!" The feeling of the fist hitting him was wrong; it didn't feel like it was hitting flesh. Shen Ciyuan quickly retreated. At that moment, another Ye Nanxiao appeared behind Shen Ciyuan and delivered a whip kick to his body.
The mirror shield on Shen Ciyuan's body shattered, and he was sent flying.
Shen Ciyuan adjusted his body in mid-air and landed on the ground, a smile reappearing on his face. "When did this clone appear, Ye Nanxiao?"
Three Ye Nanxiao appeared on the field at the same time. Apart from the one who was hit by Shen Ciyuan's soul skill, there were two other Ye Nanxiao standing on the field. The "Ye Nanxiao" who was hit by the shock wave slowly turned into a pile of ice.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the disintegrating ice clone and his expression became serious. Among the Soul Masters of the same level, Shen Ciyuan was the first to be able to destroy the ice clone in one blow.
"I didn't expect this guy to be a completely different person when he starts fighting." Just now, Ye Nanxiao's "Mind's Eye" warned him, but before he could dodge, an additional ice clone appeared in front of him.
"This guy is a bit dangerous." Ye Nanxiao rubbed his hands, while Shen Ciyuan still smiled and said, "Getting serious now? Come on, Ye Nanxiao, let me see."
"This person must have chosen the offensive type." Ye Nanxiao's figure flashed, and another ice clone rushed directly towards Shen Ciyuan.
"Trying to attack from both sides? No use, Ye Nanxiao." Shen Ciyuan laughed loudly, and the patterns on the Cold Moon Mirror began to light up slowly, like a stream spreading along a river. Ye Nanxiao glanced at the Cold Moon Mirror. Although he didn't know what it represented, he just couldn't let Shen Ciyuan use it.
A sharp ice blade took shape in his left hand. "I have no choice but to take him down," Ye Nanxiao thought.
The audience seemed somewhat stunned. Luo Xinyao frowned, staring at Shen Ciyuan as if deep in thought. Lan Yuning, standing beside her, tugged at Gu Xiyu's sleeve and asked, "Xiyu, are you confident you can beat Shen Ciyuan?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head decisively. She had carefully studied Ye Nanxiao's fighting style during the previous freshman competition. She realized that she was no match for Ye Nanxiao in either intelligence or martial arts. Shen Ciyuan, on the other hand, could fight Ye Nanxiao to a draw, at least for now.

Shen Ciyuan enveloped himself in a layer of mirror light, intending to force Ye Nanxiao into close combat.
Ye Nanxiao dodged backward, and the icy humanoid figure immediately stepped forward to block Shen Ciyuan.
Ye Nanxiao gripped the ice skates with both hands in reverse and forcefully slammed them into the ground.
"Multiple layers, a thousand-year ice prison!" Ye Nanxiao roared. This time, he went all out, with one ice prison after another rising from the ground, layer upon layer, directly trapping the remnant ice humanoid and Shen Ciyuan together. The ice prisons, each larger than the last, formed a pyramid shape, intersecting with each other to block the view.
Ye Nanxiao drew his ice blade, looked at the enormous ice prison before him, and uttered the name of the skill: "Multiple Ice Prisons."
Elder Xuan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "This is quite interesting, young Xiao."
Mo Xuan scratched his head, somewhat uncertainly asking, "Why haven't I seen this before? Is it the same soul skill?"
Beibei nodded with some difficulty. One of the things Beibei knew about Ye Nanxiao was that Ye Nanxiao had a strong ability to control his soul power.
With a single punch, Shen Ciyuan shattered the broken ice humanoid figure. He examined the ice prison, unsure if he could break it, but if he couldn't, he would lose. His second soul ring emitted an incomparably dazzling light, and the power charge on the Cold Moon Mirror was complete.
Ye Nanxiao's face was a little pale. The "Multiple Ice Prisons" had consumed a lot of soul power, but Ye Nanxiao immediately set it up. Three remnant ice clones came out from behind Ye Nanxiao and jumped to the three opposite corners. Together with Ye Nanxiao, they formed a square that surrounded the ice prison.
"What does Brother Nanxiao want to do?" Lin Susu asked in confusion.
Beibei and Tang Ya looked directly at Jiang Nannan, but Jiang Nannan shook her head. She never inquired about Ye Nanxiao's trump cards.
"Xiao'er, have you thought it through?" Xue Di asked with some worry. From Ye Nanxiao's willingness to sacrifice his soul power to trap Shen Ciyuan, Xue Di had already guessed what Ye Nanxiao wanted to do.
Each of Ye Nanxiao's soul skills is created by combining the power of the Snow Empress, which is the kind of soul skill Ye Nanxiao wanted. The only drawback is that all three of Ye Nanxiao's soul skills are currently control-oriented and lack single-target burst damage.
As one of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, Snow Emperor was famous for its Three Absolute Techniques, which even Emperor Tian feared. Ye Nanxiao currently wants to use the Emperor Palm, one of the Three Absolute Techniques of Snow Emperor, which is the Great Cold with No Snow.
Ye Nanxiao activated all the soul power in his body, and his originally crystal-clear jade-like palms were coated with a layer of white light. Endless cold air emanated from Ye Nanxiao's body, and everyone outside the arena felt extremely cold. Even Elder Xuan stood up, staring intently at Ye Nanxiao, and slightly raised his right hand.
Shen Ciyuan bent his body slightly, and the Cold Moon Mirror suddenly emitted a dazzling beam of light energy, shattering the ice prison layer by layer. However, it had at least exhausted the light energy beam that the Cold Moon Mirror had been accumulating. Shen Ciyuan frowned, summoned another layer of mirror shield, and directly crashed into the ice prison.
He speculated that Ye Nanxiao's ice prison had no more than six layers, and that the light energy rays had already destroyed five layers.
When Shen Ciyuan broke through the ice prison, the three remaining ice figures, who were poised to attack, all rushed forward. Although the Cold Moon Mirror was a support martial soul, Shen Ciyuan's childhood dream was to become a powerful offensive soul master, and Shen Ciyuan's own martial prowess was also quite formidable.
Although the three icy figures tightly restrained Shen Ciyuan, they also blocked his view, preventing him from seeing Ye Nanxiao's true form.
"Which of the three is the true form? Or perhaps, none of the three are the true form!" Shen Ciyuan suddenly realized, his third soul ring lit up, and he uttered a low shout, "Han Yue Ying."
The protective shield blocked the attacks of the three remaining ice figures. Shen Ciyuan swept his leg to repel the three remaining ice figures, and at the same time, Ye Nanxiao was ready.
The three remaining ice figures exploded, turning into a sky full of ice mist. Shen Ciyuan cautiously looked around, wary of Ye Nanxiao who might rush up from who-knows-where.
Everyone was very anxious as they looked at the sky filled with ice mist. Judging from Ye Nanxiao's performance, the next attack would definitely decide the outcome, as the field was now covered in ice mist.
"I concede." Shen Ciyuan's voice came from the ice mist. Hearing that it wasn't Ye Nanxiao's voice, Jiang Nannan breathed a sigh of relief. Xuan Lao waved his hand, and the ice mist on the field was blown away by the earth-yellow soul power, revealing the figures of the two.
Ye Nanxiao's palm was only a hair's breadth away from Shen Ciyuan's back, without touching it.
Feeling the chill coming from behind him, Shen Ciyuan felt his soul almost freeze, as if he had fallen into an abyss of extreme cold. He understood Ye Nanxiao's actions and simply admitted defeat.
Ye Nanxiao dispersed his Emperor Palm, patted Shen Ciyuan on the shoulder, stepped down from the martial arts stage, and walked straight toward Jiang Nannan.
As Elder Xuan approached Shen Ciyuan, his usual lazy expression vanished, replaced by a serious one.
Elder Xuan said to Shen Ciyuan, "You've done very well. Keep up the good work. I want to see you in the inner courtyard."
A Soul Master with a support-type Martial Soul can unleash combat power comparable to a power-attack type Soul Master. If properly nurtured, Shen Ciyuan will undoubtedly become the next "God of Food".
Shen Ciyuan smiled and walked off the stage, his smile bright and sunny. He turned to look at Ye Nanxiao's back, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and thought to himself, "Ye Nanxiao, well, you can't escape now."
Ye Nanxiao walked up to Jiang Nannan and said with a smile, "Is there a reward?"
Jiang Nannan snorted, but still threw herself into Ye Nanxiao's arms, hugging him tightly without saying a word.
Shen Ciyuan: Why did I even go to see this person? Ah, my heart aches so much. Can I fight this guy again now? Like, beat him to death?
Shen Ciyuan glanced at Luo Xinyao not far away. The latter was deep in thought and completely ignored him. He touched his chest and forced himself to swallow this dog food.
