Chapter 821 Excellent doormen must learn to cultivate deep customer base

"What fierce leg techniques! We can't fight at close range! We have to create an opportunity!" Zhu Yan made a decision in an instant. He swung his two short sticks and tried to entangle them with his hands to hold Jiang Nannan's legs. The short sticks that were thrown out were as flexible as steel rods, attacking Jiang Nannan from the other two sides.

Jiang Nannan bent her arms and sprang herself up, transforming into an arrow that shot out.

Zhu Yan hadn't expected Jiang Nannan to be able to unleash such power at such a short distance. Relying on his intuition honed over years of combat, he bent over and leaned back with all his might.

The armored right leg grazed his nose, the terrifying force of which pierced through his soul power, leaving a scar on his nose.

Using the distance created by the alternating moves, Zhu Yan clasped his hands together, sending two short sticks and a steel rod flying towards Jiang Nannan, while his storage belt at his waist lit up.

Jiang Nannan stepped on the air in front of her, used the momentum to turn around, and kicked the steel rod.

Unexpectedly, the steel rod changed instantly, splitting into several sections that wrapped around Jiang Nannan's legs. The outermost two sections, propelled by inertia, lashed down towards Jiang Nannan's thighs.

"Nine-section staff!" Jiang Nannan was startled, noticing the short staff that was following closely behind the steel staff out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Nannan used her left foot as a fulcrum, exerted force suddenly, and spun her delicate body into the air to kick out.

At this moment, the short stick became as soft as rubber and wrapped around Jiang Nannan's other leg, binding both of her legs.

A soul-guided ray gun appeared in Zhu Yan's hand, and the soul-guided ray he had prepared was fired, flying to Jiang Nannan, who had just landed, in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yan used this combination of moves precisely to exploit the tiny openings created by Jiang Nannan's attacks.

Seeing that he had succeeded, Zhu Yan didn't care about being gentle with the woman and fired out the Soul Guidance Ray Gun in his hand.

The Feihe Academy team members stood up excitedly. Zhu Yan's performance had solidified their position, and it was only a matter of time before they could defeat this agility-type soul master and secure Feihe Academy's first victory.

In contrast, the Tang Clan members were much calmer, still discussing what kind of soul tool Zhu Yan was using.

"Nine-section staff? What kind of weapon is that?" Xu Sanshi stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"The nine-section staff, also known as the nine-section whip, is the weapon designed by Zhu Yan. It increases the length of each section, so it can be used as a staff or transformed into a whip, effective for both close and long-range combat," Huo Yuhao said.

"That stick must use a magnet. As long as you use your soul power to activate the core magic array inside, it will firmly attract you, just like now, trapping Nan Nan's right leg." Tang Ya frowned, thinking about how Jiang Nan Nan would break free.

Zhu Yan, holding his breath, pulled the trigger forcefully, as if he wanted to destroy the soul-guided ray gun in his hand.

However, two pieces of something flew out from the smoke and dust explosion, attracting Zhu Yan's attention.

He looked closely and saw that it was his own steel rod, now cut in half.

"My...weapon broke?" Zhu Yan murmured, his hand halting its pull on the trigger. Didn't that mean...

The unusual situation on the field was naturally noticed by everyone. Upon seeing the broken stick on the ground, all eyes immediately focused on the dust and smoke.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Jiang Nannan slowly emerged, completely unharmed, not even a speck of dust on her leg armor.

"How could this be...?" Zhu Yan's mouth dropped open.

Jiang Nannan raised her left hand, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She needed to end the fight quickly.

Purple light shone from her palm, and her second soul ring gleamed behind her.

Zhu Yan caught a glimpse of the purple light in Jiang Nannan's hand, and alarm bells went off in his mind, his body instinctively reacting.

But he no longer had the chance.

"Ten times gravity." Jiang Nannan gripped the purple light in her hand, and her soul power surged wildly from her body.

Zhu Yan felt as if a mountain had been pressed down on him, his knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the arena floor in a prostrate position.

"How is this possible! Ahhh!"

Under ten times the force of gravity, Zhu Yan let out a scream of unbearable agony.

"Referee, start counting down!" Jiang Nannan turned to the distracted referee and said.

Upon hearing this, the referee immediately flew to a spot not far from Zhu Yan and began counting down.

Zhu Yan didn't want to give up, but he couldn't move and couldn't break free from his opponent's soul skill. He could only watch helplessly as the referee ended the countdown and announced the outcome of the match.

"Goodness, after this battle, I'm afraid all agility-type Soul Masters will have to look up to this girl!" the referee thought to himself.

This one battle alone will make everyone realize that agility-type Soul Masters can be so powerful, and that Soul Skills can be combined in this way to unleash powerful control and combat capabilities.

"This is the fourth match. If I remember correctly, the player Zhu Yan who just came off the field is the captain of the Feihe Academy team, and he is very likely their strongest player," Bei Bei said. He had specifically checked the Tang Sect's match schedule before entering the arena.

"So, can we get ready to leave work early? Mingdu is so big, I haven't had a proper look around yet!" Xu Sanshi said with a relaxed expression. Although he wasn't playing, he had plenty of energy to go shopping.

I've heard that you can find a lot of good stuff in the underground world here. I wonder if I'll come across any interesting soul tools?

"Third Senior Brother, what's the point of you, a grown man, going shopping?" Wang Dong'er asked with a grin. "Could it be that you're going to buy gifts to please your future sister-in-law?"

"Hey! You little brat! How dare you tease your senior brother! No way! I have to give Yuhao a beating!" Xu Sanshi pretended to pounce on Huo Yuhao, which startled Wang Dong'er, who quickly shielded Huo Yuhao.

Watching everyone playing around, Xiao Xiao secretly glanced at He Caitou, only to see that the latter's gaze was fixed on the arena in another direction.

Xiao Xiao followed He Caitou's gaze and saw that it was a team with the banner of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. A young man in a cloak was "slaughtering" his opponents in a brutal fighting style.

"Why is Brother Caitou interested in the Aodu Chamber of Commerce's team?" Xiao Xiao kept this thought to herself, planning to ask him another time. For now, she wanted to join in the fun with everyone!

The Tang Sect's waiting area was bustling with activity, while the Feihe Academy's waiting area was completely silent.

Zhu Yan was wrapped in bandages. The tenfold gravity suppression had caused him considerable internal injuries. Fortunately, Jiang Nannan had held back, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here.

"What do we do next? It's the fourth match, and even you, captain, have lost." A member of the Flying Crane Academy team said dejectedly.

The previously defeated Red Horse Soul Master and Steel Fork Soul Master have recovered, but they still can't come up with a good countermeasure.

The opponents they face not only possess extremely high speed and reaction capabilities, but also have wide-range soul skills that can control gravity.

The combination of these two factors left the teachers leading the team at Feihe Academy unable to find a solution in the short term.

"It seems we can only rely on attrition. The opponent has already fought three matches in a row, so their energy must be depleted." A female student who was rather short said.

The latest novel is first published here!

A war of attrition is the least tactically sound approach.

But it is also a common tactic.

As long as my opponent's soul power runs out before mine, I can gain an advantage and increase my chances of winning.

"How about we use that secret medicine if we really have no other choice?" one of the team members said in a low voice, his head down.

"What secret medicine? How come I don't know about it?" Zhu Yan asked, frowning.

"It's sold in the underground market near the Aodu Building. It's a secret drug that can temporarily boost combat power. The ingredients are reliable and won't be detected!" The team member spoke softer and softer as Zhu Yan's stern gaze was about to burst into flames.

"I don't care where you bought it from, get rid of it right now! We can't beat them, we can't lose! We can't abandon the code of conduct for Soul Masters!" Zhu Yan said sternly.

"Hey! I threw it away right away! I was just curious, this thing only costs fifty gold soul coins!" the team member muttered, taking out a small black bottle, his soul power surging in his hand, crushing the bottle and the medicine into powder.

Zhu Yan briefly summarized the intelligence gathered during his battle with Jiang Nannan and dispatched the remaining agility-type and control-type soul masters from his team.

If a power-attack type Soul Master goes up there, they'll definitely be used as a target. The only option is to send out agility-attack and control-type Soul Masters to fight, to see if there's any chance to prevent the academy from losing too badly.

After the team members took to the field, Zhu Yan glanced at the brown residue left behind from the destruction of the secret medicine and had a bad feeling.

Fifty gold soul coins is not a difficult sum for an academy; even for the lowest-level academy, fifty gold soul coins is not a large expense.

How many teams will have purchased this so-called "secret potion"?

What are the motives of those who sell this "secret medicine"?

"Such a cheap thing can stimulate Soul Masters to improve their strength and won't be detected. I'm afraid this competition will cause a sensation. I hope it won't affect my academy." Zhu Yan closed his eyes and sighed.

The two team members from Feihe Academy who came on next, even though they knew that Jiang Nannan had the ability to control gravity, did not have a good way to deal with it. They could not figure out in what form Jiang Nannan's ability to control gravity affected them.

Is it an area-of-effect soul skill? Or an individual-targeting soul skill?

Interestingly, after eliminating Zhu Yan, who was sent up again by Feihe Academy, the control-type soul master who fought against Jiang Nannan actually took out a whole set of charging soul tools produced by Tang Sect.

This made the Tang Clan members feel somewhat embarrassed.

I never imagined that the things I sold would one day reappear in this way.

As the secretary to the deputy sect leader of the Tang Sect, whose power was second only to Tang Ya and Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan was naturally familiar with the design of every soul tool manufactured by the Tang Sect.

It was easy to exploit the weakness of the soul tool and send that Feihe Academy team member off the field.

After the competition, Tang Ya also gave Feihe Academy a shopping VIP card from the Tang Clan.

On the field, they are opponents; off the field, they are customers!

Tang Ya has now learned Ye Nanxiao's business model to some extent: if there are customers, you can't let them go!

Excellent doormen must learn to cultivate deep customer relationships!

After the Tang Sect competition ended, Jiang Nannan's amazing performance made some sects feel troubled, and they all turned their attention to the underground world of the Aodu Building.

"I've heard that the underworld over there sells amazing items that can enhance your strength!"
