Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena; Purple Really Did Have a Certain Allure
Meanwhile, in the top-floor suite of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Suotuo City...
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Wuyou crossed his legs, opened Flender's storage ring, and happily took stock of his spoils.
Some worn-out clothes?
Useless junk. Toss them!
Postpartum Care for Sows?
What the hell was this? Toss it too!
A crooked merchant's assorted tricks?
He had no use for them. Toss them too!
Yu Xiaogang's Ten Martial Soul Theories?
What use was this piece of trash? Toss it too!
A jumble of Storage Soul Tools?
Not bad. They were worth a bit of money, at least. Time to see what else he had!
Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins?
Whoa, good stuff! He'd put those away first!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I didn't expect Flender to have a fortune of twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins. Looks like that crooked merchant has been using his strength as a level seventy-eight Soul Saint to force people into deals all these years."
After turning the storage ring inside out, Li Wuyou looked down on the crooked merchant Flender even more.
Twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins were nothing to the major powers, but to some minor factions, they were a fortune.
Flender had neither joined another faction nor had the backing of a family. For him to have saved a fortune of twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins, it was easy to imagine how often he had forced the weak into deals over the years.
Not only that, but in the original story, Shrek Academy even swindled commoner Soul Masters out of their registration fees. Clearly, everyone at Shrek Academy was a nest of snakes and rats. As the saying went, when the upper beam was crooked, the lower beams would be crooked too.
"A dignified level seventy Soul Saint, and all he knows how to do is resort to these underhanded tricks. Flender really is a disgrace."
"Oh, no, I should say that every last person at Shrek Academy is no good!"
Li Wuyou shook his head, lamenting that he hadn't killed Flender outright back then.
On a dark and windy night, Li Wuyou headed straight to the entrance of Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena!
The Great Soul Arena was oval in shape and stood nearly two hundred meters tall. Inside were one main Soul Fighting Arena and twenty-four subsidiary arenas. It could seat sixty thousand spectators and had over a hundred VIP boxes.
It was not only a place for Soul Masters to spar and exchange ideas, but also a stage for various factions to display their strength.
Li Wuyou entered the Great Soul Arena, ignoring the clamor of the sea of people as he headed straight to the front desk. There, he saw a pretty woman with long purple hair, a full figure, and surging waves.
"Hello, miss. I'd like to register for Soul Fighting!"
Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena had three types of Soul Fighting.
The first was a match, a normal spar between Soul Masters in which killing blows were forbidden.
The second was a fight to the death, with no restrictions whatsoever.
In the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils had not only participated in a fight to the death, but had also used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, one of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, to take out the Fierce God Team.
The third was a wager match, in which the two sides agreed on a wager and sent Soul Masters to fight, with the person in charge of the Great Soul Arena serving as a notary.
The victor would receive everything stipulated in the wager. Such matches were generally used to settle irreconcilable disputes.
There were also three competition formats.
One-on-one, two-on-two, and seven-on-seven team battles.
Li Wuyou intended to enter a one-on-one match of the first type!
Registration at the Great Soul Arena was very simple. All an applicant had to do was fill out a form and pay ten Gold Soul Coins as a registration fee.
"The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins!"
"You also need to register your Soul Power Level!"
"Handsome, what alias would you like to use?"
The young woman at the front desk looked up at Li Wuyou and froze for a moment. Then her face turned red, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
No one could blame her for swooning. Li Wuyou's current looks were simply too attractive. Just like the readers in front of their screens, he was handsome and charming, with a fortune worth billions.
After all, those who knew, knew. Not a single person who awakened the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul was ugly!
Just look at Qian Renxue. Wasn't her beauty enough to topple cities and kingdoms?
Qian Daoliu might be a decrepit old man now, but in his youth he had been a handsome man too!
As another awakener of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Li Wuyou's looks naturally couldn't be far behind.
"Level thirty-nine Soul Elder!"
"My alias will be Angel!"
After paying ten Gold Soul Coins, Li Wuyou decided to use Angel as his alias.
"Handsome, would you like to buy a mask?"
"The Great Soul Arena is full of all sorts, and the various factions have spies here too. A mask could help you avoid some trouble!"
After taking his money and registering him, the young woman took out an iron badge and handed it to Li Wuyou, kindly offering him the reminder.
He was so young and handsome that she truly couldn't bear to see anything happen to him.
"Thank you for the reminder, miss!"
"With a name like Angel, I doubt there are many people in the world who would dare provoke me lightly."
Li Wuyou smiled mysteriously, accepted the iron badge she handed him, and gave her little hand a gentle squeeze.
He wasn't a block of wood ignorant of the pleasures between men and women. He could naturally tell that the young woman was interested in him, and he didn't mind sharing a fleeting romance with her.
What surprised Li Wuyou most was that the young woman at the front desk was no ordinary person. From the feedback of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's innate perception, he judged that she was a level forty Soul Ancestor.
Although the young woman was a bit of a lovestruck fool, she was a good girl who was still untouched.
After all, someone had once said, don't miss out on a good girl, and don't let a bad girl go either.
"Angel?"
"I understand!"
"My name is Zi Yue. Handsome, why don't we get to know each other?"
Zi Yue nodded, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
In the whole Douluo Continent, aside from the Angel Clan, Spirit Hall's direct bloodline, there was probably no one else who dared use the name "Angel."
"Zi Yue?"
"A good name!"
"Someone was right. Purple really does have a certain allure!"
"My name is Li Wuyou. Wuyou, as in carefree and without worries."
"Miss Zi Yue, I wonder if you're free tonight? I'd like to invite you to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Hotel for a candlelit dinner."
Seeing on the screen that it would soon be his turn to fight, Li Wuyou invited Zi Yue to share a fleeting romance.
They were both adults, and each knew what the other had in mind, so Li Wuyou saw no need to be coy.
"Li Wuyou. Wuyou, as in carefree and without worries. A good name!"
"Little Brother Wuyou, go and have your fight first!"
"As for tonight's candlelit dinner, let me think about it first!"
Li Wuyou's blunt words made Zi Yue blush.
She neither agreed nor refused. Clearly, she wanted to watch Li Wuyou's fight first.
"All right! No problem!"
"Then I'll be waiting for you tonight!"
Li Wuyou nodded and prepared to head into the Soul Fighting Arena.
