How to play a pure support role in Chapter 4?

With her taking the lead, the other children became much more obedient.

"Alright, everyone can form groups freely now. Considering the number of people, we will start with a match between children who are not grouped."

The arena is very large; the combat zone alone has a radius of over two hundred meters.

This was Ning Fan's first time standing in the center of the Soul Arena, about to engage in his first real battle. It was hard for him not to be excited.

However, he soon discovered an awkward problem.

Wu Feng pulled Ning Tian aside, looking at him sharply. The other kids who were on good terms with each other also found their own teams.

Ning Fan was unsurprisingly isolated.

In the stands, Fan Yu and Ning Yunqing had finished their mutual flattery, and both of them looked quite pleased.

In fact, Fan Yu was the leader of this mission. His purpose in coming to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was to sell soul tools for the school's soul guidance department.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School is truly extravagant; no wonder they can expand their auction business to the Sun Moon Empire.

During the conversation between Fan Yu and Sect Leader Ning, the order for ten million gold coins had already been paid for.

Having easily earned such a large sum of money for the Soul Guidance Department, Fan Yu, who now has a cultivation level of seven rings, will surely have his seniority in the academy rise significantly. How could he not be happy?

Looking at the muscular athlete beside him, who was beaming with joy, the woman who had been following behind him spoke up.

"Brother Fanyu, I heard the desserts at Jiubao City are pretty good. How about we go try them after class today?"

The woman's voice was extremely sweet, and coupled with her beautiful face, most men would likely not refuse her request to accompany them.

But Fan Yu shook her head, her tone somewhat cold, "I'm sorry, Mu Jin, our mission this time is to take care of these children, so please be more attentive."

Upon hearing this, the pretty young woman was clearly stunned, then pouted and looked towards the center of the arena.

The children have now been divided into groups.

Well, rather than saying the group assignments are complete, it's more accurate to say that there are only two players left on the field who no team wants.

One was Ning Fan, whose expression was refined, but who was somewhat unable to maintain his composure at the moment.

The other one was a boy who looked rather gloomy.

Ning Fan recognized him; his name was Gu Yu, and his martial soul was a strange type of dragon, a bone dragon.

Given Wu Feng's temperament, there's absolutely no way she would let herself team up with Ning Tian.

It seems that I, a support-type Soul Master, will have to face my opponent alone...

"Hmm, it seems there are only two little ones left without a team. Let's start with them."

Wang Yan glanced at the children who had already been divided into groups and nodded in satisfaction. It seemed Shrek Academy's reputation was well-deserved; these children were more obedient than any class he had ever taught.

"Little ones, introduce your names and martial spirits to each other."

"Ning Fan, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda..." Ning Fan smiled bitterly.

He subconsciously turned around and saw Ning Yunqing on the stage with a bad expression, as well as several smiling elders. He immediately understood why no team was willing to accept him.

Well, these old guys must have known about the topic beforehand and deliberately pulled this stunt!

But isn't this just making himself even more disgraced by the sect's direct lineage?

Are they stupid, or are we stupid? Isn't this incredibly embarrassing?

"Xiao Feng, isn't this a bit inappropriate? My cousin... he's only at level five soul power!"

Seeing Ning Fan all alone, Ning Tian tugged at Wu Feng's hand, hoping she could do something.

"I'm sorry, young master, my grandfather just told me to do this... otherwise he'll ground me..."

Although Wu Feng and Ning Fan often bickered, they had grown up together, and she still wanted to lend a hand when things got tough.

However, compared to the punishment afterward, it is obviously more worthwhile to embarrass someone.

"Gu Yu, Martial Soul Bone Dragon, Level 8 Soul Power, 'Young Master Xian,' be careful!" Gu Yu's lips curled slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, his five fingers transformed into distinct bone dragon claws.

As a descendant of a sect elder, Gu Yu has practiced martial arts since childhood and has considerable confidence in his own strength, so he even reported his level.

Wang Yan was taken aback when he heard the two children's report. He hadn't expected that a direct descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would be isolated.

Looking back at the atmosphere on the field, the usually refined Sect Master Ning's face was now ashen, while several senior elders were grinning from ear to ear.

It seems they've unknowingly been drawn into the sect's internal strife...

A battle between six-year-old children is not worth watching; it's purely for testing the martial spirits of both sides.

But by doing this, the nature of the situation has changed!

The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Despite seeing through everything, Wang Yan still had no choice but to announce the start of the battle.

"Hmph, you'd better prepare to admit defeat!"

The moment Wang Yan uttered his last word, Gu Yu snorted coldly, swung his bone claws, and strode forward.

He also received instructions from his grandfather to deliberately not join any team, in order to deal with Ning Fan and avenge the grudges between the older generation.

"Is it really necessary...?"

Ning Fan smiled wryly, too lazy to even activate his martial spirit, and turned to run away.

He knew very well that this was the Douluo Continent, not the Naruto world, and the child's fighting power wouldn't have any buffs.

While Itachi Uchiha went to war at the age of four, I was still learning to write at the age of four!

Not to mention that his martial soul is just a support-type weapon martial soul without any spirit rings!

What's the point of fighting? You're giving Lu Da a piece of the pie!

As Ning Fan ran, he kept looking back. In just a few breaths, Gu Yu had already reached him from behind, wielding his bone claws.

With no other option, Ning Fan could only dodge passively. One mistake resulted in a strand of hair being shaved off the back of his head.

This is the consequence of a support-type Soul Master facing off against a power-type Soul Master alone. After several rounds of attacks, the refined young man with long platinum-gold hair was lying on the ground in a sorry state.

"Hehehehe..."

On the stands, several elders who already disliked Ning Fan finally burst into laughter. The sound of the metal cane being crushed came quickly, and Ning Yunqing's face turned cold, her eyes seeming to want to kill.

He desperately wanted to stop this farce.

But that won't do, because this plan was originally his own idea—to purchase soul tools from Shrek Academy under the guise of teacher training.

Although the proposal was intended to strengthen the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's defenses, it still met with opposition from some conservatives.

Buy offensive soul tools? Then what's the point of having these sect-protecting elders?

Although the majority won the vote in the end, Ning Yunqing never expected that these elders would actually turn their revenge on the children!

"Those bastards..."

Despite her excellent manners, Ning Yunqing still managed to utter a curse.

"These old bastards..." At almost the same time, Ning Fan, who was being chased and looked disheveled, also cursed.

Having this group of elders is truly a blessing for him!

"Admit defeat, Young Master Ning, you can't beat me."

Gu Yu's bone claws had already reached out mercilessly towards Ning Fan. Ning Fan lay on the ground, panting heavily, his vision becoming somewhat blurred amidst a mix of emotions.

Clearly, Gu Yu won, and Ning Fan had absolutely no chance of retaliating.

These elders were using this opportunity to prove that Ning Yunqing was bringing shame upon herself, whether it was buying the soul tool or her insistence on keeping Ning Fan, a child with a stain on his reputation.

Looking at the disheveled Ning Fan, Wang Yan shook his head with some resentment. Shrek Academy should not be used as a pawn, but this time, it was truly his oversight.

Wu Feng and Ning Tian have already broken into the battle arena, hoping to stop this farce immediately.

If this continues, Ning Fan will get injured!

However, just as Wang Yan was about to announce the outcome of the battle, something unexpected happened.

The bone claw that had been hanging in front of the long-haired boy's neck was now slowly moving upwards, and finally, it was forced open, making a crisp collision sound.

Gu Yu felt his palm hit something very hard. Because he was a child, the other person was about as strong as him and used the hard object to push him away, causing him to stagger backward a couple of times.

After regaining his footing, he looked up in surprise.

In Ning Fan's palm, a seven-colored light was shimmering slightly. It turned out that he had summoned his martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which did not yet have any soul rings.
