At the same time, in the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, a thousand miles away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Today's Soul Fighting competition has come to an end, and the noisy arena has returned to calm.
All eight members of the Shrek Academy successfully completed their respective battles.
Of course, among the eight, Su Zui had the most battles and the most terrifying results.
They played over a dozen intense matches without ever losing.
They set a new record at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.
However, although Su Zui participated in the most matches, Su Zui was still the first to leave the Soul Fighting Arena.
After all, Su Zui acted incredibly quickly; even including the preparation time of the other contestants, all the matches were completed in less than half an hour.
At this moment, Su Zui had taken off his black casual clothes and put on his white robe again, which was spotless.
Since the other seven people were still participating in the competition, Su Zui went directly into Flender's private box.
The moment the door was pushed open, a warm, soft light poured out, gently enveloping Su Zui's entire body.
At this moment, Flender was sitting upright in a magnificent armchair, his face glowing and his spirits high.
His entire face was etched with barely suppressed excitement at suddenly becoming rich.
Even though he tried to suppress his smile, he couldn't hide his genuine excitement.
In Flender now, everyone who sees him secretly curses him as a rich bastard.
Of course, those still queuing on the rooftop are probably cursing under their breath.
Upon hearing the door open, Flender froze, instinctively clutching his chest pocket and pressing the gleaming gold soul coin card close to his chest, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.
As soon as Su Zui stepped into the room, he took in Fran's greedy appearance.
Judging from Flender' appearance, he probably made a good profit today.
Su Zui deliberately teased Flender, speaking in a playful tone.
"Dean, you look radiant; you must have earned a lot of Gold Soul Coins this time. With so much money, won't you share some with me? After all, I was the biggest contributor to tonight."
Upon hearing Su Zui's words, Fran's expression changed drastically.
You can take his life, but you can't take his money!
Fran quickly stuffed the Gold Soul Coin card into his pocket, smoothed out a wrinkle on one corner, put on a stern, selfless face, and spoke in a righteous and indignant tone.
"Xiao Zui! It's not that the dean is stingy, but this money doesn't just belong to me alone."
"Every penny of this money will be used to improve the academy, enhancing the students' training environment and living conditions."
"Didn't you say before that the cafeteria was going to be improved? Then the money for improving the cafeteria will come from here."
Seeing Flender's selfless demeanor, Su Zui's eyes were full of smiles.
He had seen through Flender long ago; he was a complete miser, a money-devouring beast who only took in money and never gave it back.
Normally, he would stretch every penny in half to spend, so now that he has a huge sum of money in his hands, he is naturally extremely careful.
He stopped teasing the other person and quickly composed himself, his expression becoming serious.
"Dean, I have something I'd like to ask you, and I hope you'll tell me the truth."
Seeing Su Zui's serious expression, Flender's expression also became solemn.
"Okay, just ask me anything, and I'll answer everything I know."
What force is controlling the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena?
In fact, Su Zui had been wondering about this issue ever since he defeated the Mad Demon.
Logically speaking, as a newcomer, it's impossible for me to be directly assigned to the Mad Demon.
If it's your first time being assigned the Mad Demon, you could say it's just luck.
However, in the third match, he encountered the second ace of the Great Soul Arena, a level 50 Mandala Snake Soul Master.
This whole thing seems incredibly strange.
If Su Zui were just an ordinary Soul Ancestor, he would probably have been torn to shreds by the Mad Demon long ago.
Upon hearing Su Zui's words, Flender frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied.
"This so-called Great Soul Arena has quite a history. It's not under the jurisdiction of the Great Soul Arena Heaven Dou Star Luo Empires, nor is it subject to the Spirit Hall's control."
"It was jointly established by the Eight Great Families in the Douluo Continent, and its core power is jointly controlled by these Eight Great Families."
"These Eight Great Families have extremely deep foundations and rarely travel around the mainland, so even I have never had contact with anyone from Eight Great Families."
The Eight Great Families of the Douluo Continent?
Upon hearing Flender's words, Flander's hungover gaze darkened, and his doubts deepened.
Since arriving in the Douluo Continent, he seems to have never provoked anyone from the Eight Great Families. He had never even heard of the Eight Great Families before.
Since there has been no prior conflict or enmity between them, the Great Soul Arena should have no reason to target a newcomer like him.
In an instant, countless guesses and doubts rapidly intertwined in Su Zui's mind.
Although Su Zui remained outwardly calm, the light in his eyes had turned cold.
Regardless of the reason, since the other party has already attacked me, even if they haven't caused any real harm, this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved.
At this moment, Flender's entire focus was on his millions of Gold Soul Coins, and he had no time to pay attention to Su Zui's expression.
After confirming that Su Zui had no other problems, he could no longer contain his excitement and hurriedly spoke.
"Hey Xiao Zui, it's getting late. If you don't have any other questions, I'll head back to the academy now. Come back quickly after this is over, and don't linger outside!"
Before he could finish speaking, Flender could no longer contain himself and practically ran out of the VIP box, fearing that his wealth would vanish the moment he stepped out.
After all, he had millions of Gold Soul Coins in his pocket!
Although the odds for the remaining dozen or so matches weren't as outrageous as the first one, the cumulative effect of those matches allowed Flender to double his Gold Soul Coins again.
Flender now possesses a staggering six million Gold Soul Coins!
The hurried footsteps gradually faded into the distance until they disappeared completely.
The large private room was soon empty except for Su Zui, who was standing there alone.
Not long after, two light, delicate footsteps slowly approached.
Su Zui turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's little face was full of brightness, and her eyes were brimming with undisguised joy.
"Xiao Zui!"
Ning Rongrong spotted Su Zui standing in the private room at a glance. Her eyes shone brightly, as if filled with starlight. She quickened her pace and suddenly threw herself into Su Zui's arms.
The girl's soft, warm body pressed tightly against Su Zui.
Her hair carried a sweet floral scent, and she spoke softly and proudly.
"Xiao Zui! I was really amazing today! I won all three Soul Fighting, a winning streak the whole time, and I didn't hold anyone back at all. Aren't I awesome?"
Seeing the girl's smug look, Su Zui smiled and playfully pinched her nose.
"Haha, of course! My Rongrong is the best!"
"Hehe, since that's the case, do you have any reward for me?"
The girl's soft voice lingered in Su Zui 'Su Zui ears, and her warm breath brushed against his face.
Su Zui lowered his eyes and looked down at the little girl, his eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.
"My Rongrong behaved so well today, so as her boyfriend, I naturally have to reward her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zui lowered his head slightly and gently pecked Ning Rongrong's soft, pink lips.
Then, Su Zui gently nibbled on Ning Rongrong's ear and said, "How is it? Are you satisfied with my reward?"
This sudden intimate contact made Ning Rongrong freeze.
Her fair and delicate cheeks visibly flushed, the color spreading from her cheeks to her ears and neck, making her entire skin look rosy.
Ning Rongrong buried her head in Su Zui's arms, her face flushed with shyness, her heart pounding.
She raised her hand and gently punched Su Zui's chest, but the force was weak and powerless, utterly intimidating.
Then, Ning Rongrong whispered coquettishly, "Xiao Zui, you're so annoying... you just bully me."
Zhu Zhuqing stood not far away, watching the two's intimate actions, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere, repeatedly trying to convince herself otherwise.
I didn't see anything, I really didn't see anything!
Ugh! I really hate it. Why do I have to be shown this stuff?!
Zhu Zhuqing appears aloof, but she's actually just a young girl, and this scene is still too embarrassing for Zhu Zhuqing.
As Su Zui looked up, she caught a glimpse of Zhu Zhuqing's shy expression, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
This Zhu Zhuqing seems to be cuter than I imagined.
Su Zui reached out and touched Ning Rongrong's soft, fluffy hair, then said in a slow, deliberate tone, "Now that your Soul Fighting is over, let's go back to our dorms and rest."
Su Zui took Ning Rongrong's small hand, turned to look at the shy and flustered Zhu Zhuqing beside her, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Xiao Zhu, let's go back together!"
Hearing Su Zui's words, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes concealing the shyness in her eyes, and replied softly, "Okay, let's go home."
The three walked out of the brightly lit Great Soul Arena side by side.
A gentle evening breeze swept by, and the lights of countless homes along the street remained on.
Night fell, but the moonlight dispelled the dense darkness.
The moonlight and the surrounding lights combined to form a warm yellow halo, gently spreading across the long bluestone street.
The evening breeze carried a faint scent of cooking fires, gentle and serene.
Throughout the journey, Ning Rongrong stayed glued to Su Zui's side the whole time.
She stretched out her little hand and tightly gripped Su Zui's sleeve, occasionally looking up and blinking her bright eyes, chattering away about the details of her three Soul Fighting.
Her tone was cheerful and she stayed close to Su Zui the whole time.
Su Zui listened patiently, occasionally bowing her head to respond, her eyes filled with undisguised tenderness.
Zhu Zhuqing walked quietly beside Su Zui, neither making a fuss nor causing any disturbance; she was very well-behaved.
She occasionally glanced at the gentle boy and the lively girl, a faint warmth flashing in her eyes, before quietly lowering her head and following quietly beside Su Zui.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt a deep sense of security.
Zhu Zhuqing has never felt so safe as she does today.
The boy beside her was clearly the same age as her, but standing next to Su Zui, Zhu Zhuqing always had a strange feeling that she didn't have to be afraid of anything. It was as if even if the sky fell, this boy would hold it up for her.
This feeling was like a deadly poison to Zhu Zhuqing!
Along the way, the evening breeze was gentle, and the three of them walked leisurely and steadily through the brightly lit streets, heading towards the Shrek Academy.
Bathed in the dim light, with his girlfriend and best friend beside him, Su Zui felt a little dazed. He unconsciously started humming a song, his tone growing increasingly gentle.
"Bad-tempered and incorrigible, I need you to exist for me~"
"Can you spoil me so much that I won't love anyone else?"
"He's only dependent on me, and he's only unreasonable with me; he ignores everyone else."
