Teaming Up for Soul Fighting

Flender nodded. "Alright, then you can arrange it yourself. The others will participate in Individual Soul Fighting, Doubles Soul Fighting, and Team Soul Fighting."

Xiao Wu tugged at Tang San's sleeve. "Third Brother, let's team up for the Doubles Soul Fighting!"

"Okay." Tang San smiled and nodded in agreement.

The group began to form teams. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing teamed up, Dai Mubai participated in the solo event only, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun teamed up.

The group entered the Soul Fighting Arena's main hall, registered, and waited for their numbers to be called.

By the time everyone left the Great Soul Arena, it was already late at night.

As expected, only Oscar and Ma Hongjun's team lost; all the other Soul Fighting won.

Especially when Tang San and Xiao Wu team up, their opponents are basically unable to escape the control of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. In the seven-person team battle, Tang San also lets his teammates attack first, while he uses his Third Soul Skill to amplify and command. He only takes action when his teammates are in trouble.

After the Soul Fighting ended, the group walked out of the Great Soul Arena.

"You guys go back first. The dean just asked me to go to his shop," Ma Hongjun suddenly said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Dai Mubai revealed a strange expression, "Then we'll head back first. Take it easy."

"Boss Dai, aren't you going?"

"No, stop talking nonsense and let's go." Dai Mubai glared at Ma Hongjun, but his eyes darted towards Zhu Zhuqing out of the corner of his eye.

Ma Hongjun didn't understand Dai Mubai's meaning. "Let's go, let's go together. Didn't you say women aren't considered population but resources?"

Dai Mubai quickly punched Ma Hongjun in the chest, yelling, "Get lost!"

Ma Hongjun snorted in dissatisfaction and turned to leave.

"Dai Mubai, where did that lewd fat guy go?" Xiao Wu asked.

Dai Mubai laughed heartily, "You said he was lewd, what else could he be doing? He couldn't suppress his Evil Fire."

Xiao Wu said irritably, "Going off to mess with girls again?"

Dai Mubai said, "It's not a disaster, but don't you know there's a place in this world called a brothel?"

Xiao Wu, not understanding the meaning of "goulan," looked at Tang San.

Tang San whispered a few words in Xiao Wu's ear, and Xiao Wu immediately showed a disgusted expression.

Dai Mubai said, "The fat guy's Martial Soul is special, there's nothing we can do about it."

Xiao Wu asked, "And what about you?"

"I... I... I..." Dai Mubai stammered, too angry to speak after being confronted by Xiao Wu.

Zhu Zhuqing spoke up, a rare occurrence for her. "Men are all filthy and disgusting." She then turned and left.

"Stop!" Dai Mubai shouted angrily, slamming his right fist hard against the tree trunk beside him.

Tang San shook his head, too lazy to bother with these trivial matters, and pulled the bewildered Xiao Wu back to the academy, with Ning Rongrong and Oscar following behind.

The next morning, Tang San opened his eyes and glanced at Oscar on the opposite bed.

Oscar sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, with faint fluctuations of Soul Power around him. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he was immersed in a very deep meditative state.

Tang San immediately understood that Oscar was about to break through.

Tang San got out of bed, without disturbing Oscar, quietly dressed, and left the dormitory.

The journey to the Star Dou Great Forest is about to begin. Will he finally get his hands on the Eight Spider Lances, the External Soul Bone? Thinking this, Tang San's lips curled into a slight smile.

After breakfast, we arrived at the open space of the academy, where everyone had already gathered.

Flender's gaze swept over the sparsely packed line, he counted the number of people, frowned, and asked, "Tang San, where's Oscar? Is he still asleep?"

"When I woke up, Oscar was still meditating; he must be about to break through," Tang San replied truthfully.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from the direction of the dormitory.

Everyone turned to look and saw Oscar running towards them with a bright smile on his face.

"Dean, I... I've broken through level 30!" Oscar ran up to him, his voice filled with excitement and pride.

Everyone offered their congratulations.

Flender raised his hand and said, "Alright, quiet down. Oscar needs to acquire Soul Ring to break through level 30, so it's a good opportunity for you all to go to the Star Dou Great Forest for practical training."

"This time, Vice Dean Zhao Wuji will lead the team. Everyone should go back and prepare well today, and we'll depart first thing tomorrow morning."

"Yes," everyone responded in unison.

The group dispersed.

On the evening of the second day, after a long journey, the Shrek group finally arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek is truly poor; they don't even rent a carriage and rely entirely on running. Tang San couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

While this amount of running might not seem like much for Soul Master's physical abilities, there's no need to be so stingy.

Upon arriving in the town, Zhao Wuji casually picked a rather ordinary-looking hotel and led the group inside.

After checking into the room, Zhao Wuji stayed there. Tang San other students went downstairs to have dinner.

Just after ordering their food, a group of well-dressed people walked into the hotel.

The insignia on their bodies clearly identified them as students from the Canghui Academy.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat; it seemed conflict was unavoidable. But this time, Tang San didn't want to be dragged into a meaningless conflict.

Sure enough, Ma Hongjun, that little lecher, had his eyes fixed on the only girl in the Canghui Academy group. He leaned close to Dai Mubai and said, "Boss Dai, that girl has a nice figure. She looks like she's from the Canghui Academy."

Dai Mubai scoffed, "It's just a trash academy. What's so amazing about it?"

Soul Masters have more sensitive hearing than ordinary people, especially since Dai Mubai raised his voice. The group from the Canghui Academy obviously heard it and immediately turned their attention to him.

Tang San was speechless. Dai Mubai was clearly provoking trouble. It seemed he hadn't learned his lesson from the past few days and had already forgotten the pain.

"This is going to be good," Oscar chuckled, his face showing the excitement of someone who loves a good show. "Dean Flender once said that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. This is also part of our training."

Tang San rolled his eyes at Oscar: "Oscar, are you mediocre?"

"Uh... I... I'm just a food-type Soul Master." Oscar blushed.

"But you're a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, not a mediocre one!" Tang San stared at Oscar. "If you want to cause trouble, you need to have the ability to settle it, otherwise you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later, and you won't even know how you died."

Oscar lowered his head, no longer looking into Tang San's eyes.

The group from the Canghui Academy were also whispering amongst themselves, their eyes constantly glancing this way; it was clear they were about to cause trouble.

Sure enough, a conflict broke out soon after. The two sides exchanged a few words and then started fighting.

The students from the Canghui Academy weren't that strong; Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun easily took them all down.

After all, Dai Mubai is a level 37 Soul Elder, which is more than enough for him to deal with these students who are only in their twenties.

At this point, the other teacher stepped forward.

"I am Ye Zhiqiu Canghui Academy. Which sect do you kids belong to?"

Ye Zhiqiu did not act immediately, but first asked tentatively.

"We are from the Shrek Academy!"

Ma Hongjun, having just dealt with the students from the Canghui Academy, appeared quite smug. When Ye Zhiqiu inquired, he immediately revealed his origins.
