Chapter 32: A Man Full of "Philosophy"
> "I have a big banana."
As Wang Billy spoke, a yellow light condensed in his hand and eventually turned into a banana.
When Zhang Yangzi and the other two heard Wang Billy's words, their expressions changed slightly. Although the arena was quiet, Nan Fusheng and the others were all Spirit Masters, so Wang Billy's declaration was clearly heard by them too.
The four looked at Wang Billy with expressions that were... complicated.
How should it be put? The soul incantations of food-type Spirit Masters were already known to be somewhat strange. But paired with Wang Billy's particular mannerisms, the effect was something else entirely.
Here stood a tall, dark-skinned boy, holding his fingers in a delicate orchid gesture, smiling as he handed out his "banana" to his teammates.
In Nan Fusheng's eyes, that smile was absolutely filled with philosophy—a term he used silently to describe the aura around Wang Billy. His big, white teeth appeared even whiter against his skin.

Food-type Spirit Masters had always held a special place in the world of Spirit Masters. Their martial spirits were strange and varied.
Twenty thousand years ago, a high-level food-type Spirit Master was someone no major power could afford to ignore—some could support the entire food supply of an army single-handedly.
With the passage of time, the food-type martial spirits began to evolve with the era. When candy was invented, someone awakened a candy martial spirit. When cigars became popular, a cigar martial spirit soon followed.
But one thing remained constant across all eras:
> The more powerful a food-type martial spirit is, the weirder it tends to be—and the more wretched the soul spell sounds.
Take Oscar, one of the Shrek Seven Devils who became the "God of Food" twenty thousand years ago, or He Caitou, the "Source of Destruction" who lived ten thousand years ago and partnered with Lingbing Douluo—both were legendary figures with bizarre abilities.

Wang Billy's Banana Martial Spirit wasn't among the top-tier in terms of strength, but it was definitely a high-quality one.
Despite his innate Spirit Power being only level 6 and his current level just 14, as an auxiliary-type Spirit Master, this made him a genius by any standard.
But Wang Billy himself was… controversial.
If his soul spell were just slightly indecent, it wouldn't be a big deal. Zhang Yangzi and the others could tolerate having their ears polluted.
But the issue wasn't just the soul spell—it was Wang Billy.
If it weren't for the rule requiring four participants in this battle, and if it weren't for the fact that Wang Billy had the best support-to-power ratio in Class 1, the others definitely wouldn't want to be teamed with him.

Wang Billy, a native of Donghai City, had been known for offering his martial spirit's "banana" to classmates ever since he awakened it in junior college.
Sharing was not inherently a bad thing—on the contrary, it was usually admirable. But in Billy's case, there was a catch.
The problem was his smile.
Every time he offered someone his "banana," he wore the same unsettling grin. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was poisoning the food.
Even though everyone knew it was a food-type martial spirit, his look gave off bad vibes.
Over time, these strange habits—offering bananas constantly, grinning creepily, and towering over his classmates with a build far beyond his peers—left him isolated.
Rumors began to spread: roommates in his dorm reportedly slept tightly wrapped in quilts at night. When others asked why, they replied:
> "After seeing that smile, I'm afraid something strange will crawl into my bed while I sleep…"
All of this—his habits, his looks, his "philosophical" smile—earned him a very specific reputation in Grade 1 Class 1:
> "The one person nobody wants to team up with."

Wang Billy's first soul skill: Energetic Big Banana.
Its effects were substantial:
Restores Spirit Power
Induces a state of excitement
Enhances mental resistance
This team lineup had been hand-picked by Ye Yingluo after hearing that her younger sister, Ye Yingrong, lost to Class 5.
In her opinion, the reason Class 3 lost was largely due to Nan Fusheng's strange soul skills. She had observed the battle against Class 2 and noticed:
> Each time Nan Fusheng's spirit ring lit up, an enemy would suddenly freeze, lose focus, and then get eliminated.
A spiritual-type Spirit Master like him was hard to counter. But ultimately, Nan Fusheng was still just a one-ring Spirit Master. His spiritual power couldn't be too overwhelming.
And Wang Billy's skill provided a countermeasure—it could bolster a teammate's resistance to spiritual interference. With Zhang Yangzi and two other second-ring Spirit Masters on the team, Class 1 should be unstoppable.

On the field, after consuming Wang Billy's bananas, Zhang Yangzi and the others recovered their strength. Zhang Yangzi turned to his teammates.
> "We've delayed long enough. We're the strongest class—let's finish this quickly."
He didn't want to repeat the near-defeat they had just escaped. His plan was simple: wipe out Class 5 in one go to avoid any further complications.
At the same time, everyone in Class 5 was thinking the same thing.
> "We must end this quickly," said Nan Fusheng, standing behind the front line. "The guy in the back is a food-type Spirit Master. If we let it drag out, things won't look good for us."
> "Agreed. We'll target Wang Jinxi first. If that doesn't work, we'll go after the food-type master," said Tang Wulin.
It was a wise choice. Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng were agile and tricky to catch, but during their earlier clash, Tang Wulin had found that his Golden Dragon Claws had a natural advantage over Wang Jinxi's abilities.
That made him the logical first target.

Suddenly, on the opposite side, Zhang Yangzi spread his wings again. A thick curtain of black light unfurled, engulfing the battlefield in darkness.
Gu Yue's lips curled into a confident smile.
> "Dark attribute control?"
She pulled Tang Wulin back to keep him from rushing forward too early. Taking two steps to the front of their group, a yellow soul ring glowed beneath her feet.
In that instant, Gu Yue's eyes shimmered with a faint silver light.
She raised her right hand, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from her palm—like she was holding a small sun.
Powerful radiance flooded from her body, brimming with pure light element.
As Xie Xie, still affected by Zhang Yangzi's second soul skill, was bathed in that light, the lingering darkness on his body instantly vanished.
He felt warmth course through him, indescribably comforting. Even his depleted Spirit Power began recovering.
Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger was based on light elements, while the Shadow Dragon Dagger was spatial—so this environment, rich in light energy, was ideal for him.
Under Gu Yue's radiance, Zhang Yangzi's dark curtain weakened rapidly. The silhouettes behind it began to emerge, fading in and out of the light.
