After the spirit fight ended, Ning Tianchen gained a direct understanding of the Seven Kill Sword Manual's power.

When facing a Soul Saint like Zhao Wuji, the Seven Kill Sword Manual did not have much effect, but against Spirit Masters of the same level, it was undoubtedly the most powerful technique.

At the very least, ninety-nine percent of Soul Elders would be unable to withstand that strike from him.

As Ning Tianchen left the spirit arena stage, the Great Soul Arena immediately sent out a Healing Spirit Master to treat Evil Tiger.

People like Evil Tiger relied on constant fighting in the Great Soul Arena to earn money. By intervening now, the Great Soul Arena would undoubtedly leave him owing an enormous debt.

Before he paid off that debt, Evil Tiger would likely have no choice but to keep serving as the Great Soul Arena's enforcer.

Ning Tianchen withdrew his gaze and headed toward the Player Tunnel.

He did not know what Evil Tiger had done in his previous spirit fights, but even if he did, he would not have killed his opponent.

As for why, he was only a twelve-year-old boy. If he committed murder in the Great Soul Arena, how would he get along with his classmates afterward?

Even Oscar, who was supposedly as close to him as a brother, would probably keep his distance out of respect and fear. That would not help his efforts to win people over.

Besides, among those who fought in the Great Soul Arena, how many were truly good people?

If the woman who had fought Evil Tiger last time had been strong enough, she probably would not have spared him so easily either.

The strong preyed on the weak; that was the iron law of this world. Even Tang San from the original timeline had never changed it.

The viewing area where Ning Rongrong and the others sat was quite far from the Border Area First Spirit Arena Stage.

On top of that, everyone else had their own matches, so they had not paid much attention to Ning Tianchen.

As soon as he returned to the stands, Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "Tianchen Gege, congratulations."

Ning Tianchen replied gently, "Rongrong, you didn't watch my spirit fight. Why are you congratulating me?"

Tickets to the Great Soul Arena were sold in advance. A popular contestant like Evil Tiger naturally made tickets hard to come by. Ning Tianchen had not let Ning Rongrong pay extra for one because he did not want her to waste money.

Oscar, standing beside them, added with a cheeky grin, "Brother Tianchen, now you're being dishonest. We may not have watched your spirit fight, but we heard the audience."

As he spoke, he leaned close to Ning Tianchen's chest and whispered, "Even when Boss Dai won his spirit fights, there was never such a huge commotion. Say, was your opponent one of those experts with a winning streak?"

Ning Tianchen hurriedly shoved him away.

There were three iron rules in life: he did not like men, he had no interest in men, and strangers were not allowed near him!

"Ahem. So you all know already."

After a pause, Ning Tianchen quickly changed the subject. "By the way, where is everyone else?"

"They all went to fight. But Zhuqing and Tang San are opponents." Ning Rongrong looked somewhat worried.

She had quite a few reservations about Tang San's conduct, but she still acknowledged his strength.

With Zhu Zhuqing facing Tang San, she would most likely lose this match.

Because of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing had not been in a good mood. Ning Rongrong did not know how to comfort her afterward.

Ning Tianchen, however, knew that Zhu Zhuqing was not a weak person.

Still, he had begun to entertain the idea of recruiting her.

After all, the Star Luo Empire had only one Empress. Very few people cared whether Zhu Zhuqing stayed or left. After all, the Star Luo court had practically accepted that Dai Weisi would become the future emperor.

In that case, if he properly nurtured someone as naturally competitive and ambitious as Zhu Zhuqing, she might one day become a powerful protector of the sect.

Putting those thoughts aside, Ning Tianchen patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder, signaling for her to relax.

"By the way, Oscar, how many spirit fights have you participated in?"

Oscar scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I got my spirit fight badge last year. Boss Dai took me through two matches before, one win and one loss. Just like Rongrong, I currently have zero points."

Ning Tianchen nodded.

Evil Tiger's Soul Power Level should have been level thirty-nine. Not to mention the level thirty-nine Dai Mubai, even if he were a Soul Ancestor, he might not have been able to defeat Evil Tiger.

Dai Mubai was prone to acting on impulse, which was an absolute taboo in battle.

In the original timeline, Dai Mubai's only shining moment was fighting Yu Tianxin, who was at the same level as him. After that, there was nothing more. The rest was either bullying weak opponents or on his way to bully weak opponents.

If not for following Tang San, someone who only bullied the weak and feared the strong would have had a future that was almost visible at a glance, even without being born into the Star Luo Royal Family.

Not long afterward, Dai Mubai returned to the stands.

He was extremely excited, and every muscle in his body was engorged with blood.

He had clearly just vented his emotions and was still immersed in the previous battle.

Ning Rongrong poked Ning Tianchen and whispered, "Tianchen Gege, his condition is a little..."

Ning Tianchen smiled. "He needs to cool down."

It was easy to get carried away in that state. The outcome of the upcoming Two-on-Two Spirit Fight was easy to imagine.

About fifteen minutes later, all eight members of Shrek had returned to the stands.

"Other than the Internal Match between Zhuqing and me, everyone else won. That's a good start. For the upcoming Two-on-Two Spirit Fight, let's keep it up." Tang San smiled faintly and held out his hand, intending for everyone to give a high-five.

Other than Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, everyone's gaze turned toward Ning Tianchen.

Ma Hongjun did not think Ning Tianchen was particularly impressive. He was simply following the crowd.

Ning Tianchen did not speak immediately. His gaze casually swept over Zhu Zhuqing. Just as he had expected, she had not become discouraged by a single defeat.

Sensing everyone's gazes, he said, "Two-on-Two Spirit Fights emphasize coordination between two people. The dean said earlier that we will also be taking part in Team Spirit Fights. In that case, gaining experience through Two-on-Two Spirit Fights is especially important."

"Everyone has their own team, so discuss your tactics among yourselves."

As he spoke, he extended his hand, not intending to embarrass Tang San.

A trace of awkwardness appeared on Tang San's face, but he did not think much of it. Everything could wait until the teacher returned and made a decision.

"Please proceed to the Third District First Spirit Arena Stage for your spirit fight: Sword Dao Tianchen and Oscar versus the Flying Dance Sisters Combination." The Great Soul Arena's announcement rang out.

"Brother Tianchen, I'll be relying on you for everything." Oscar looked solemn.

His first and second Spirit Abilities could offer Ning Tianchen almost no help in a two-on-two spirit fight. To put it bluntly, he was just there to make up the numbers.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We're all classmates."

Ning Tianchen had an inexplicable feeling that this two-on-two spirit fight would not be easy to win.

Back at the sect, he had tried fighting one against many.

Given the strength of the Seven Kill Sword Spirit, fighting two opponents alone would not be difficult so long as they were not geniuses among geniuses.

There were only a few situations that could make him feel troubled.

First, the arena was large, and the opponents had both a powerful Control System Spirit Master and a Spirit Master with long-range attack capabilities.

Second...
