Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon Egg, Personally Hatched by the Silver Dragon King

The Great Soul Arena refused entry to commoners. It seemed lofty and untouchable, but in truth, it was meant to preserve the soul masters' facade and prevent their "high and mighty" and "noble" image from collapsing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Just imagine it: those noble soul masters who were usually adored and worshipped by countless young girls on the streets being pinned to the ground and beaten senseless in the Great Soul Arena for a few Gold Soul Coins, or two people fighting one-on-one until they beat each other's brains into mush...

Any commoner who witnessed such a scene would undergo a drastic change in mindset.

This would not only impact soul masters themselves, but also the entire soul master class.

It was like a huge celebrity from Ye Feng's previous life—glamorous and radiant on the surface, yet secretly playing "chicken dinner" for money and fame... only to be caught by their fans...

The impact on those fans would naturally be immense.

The higher-ups of the Soul Master World naturally did not want such things to happen.

As long as the public remained unaware, soul masters could continue standing above all others, enjoying incomparably noble and exalted status.

The Sunflower Manual Gifted to Xiaogang

Sokes Grand Hotel, top-floor suite.

Ye Feng stood before the transparent floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at more than half of Suotuo City, glowing brightly with countless lights.

Night was gradually falling. Suotuo City was exceptionally bustling after dark, after all—it was a major city.

Although high-tech things like Soul Tools did not yet exist in this era, various lights and some Soul Tool-like facilities were still present.

Soul Tool technology was like the high-tech chips from his previous life.

The current Soul Tool-like technology, meanwhile, was more like a crude collection of transistors.

The technology might have been lacking, but in this world, it was already highly advanced.

Looking farther into the distance, he saw an incomparably massive and majestic oval-shaped building.

The building stood one hundred and twenty meters tall. It resembled a torch, like a lighthouse in the dead of night, dazzlingly bright.

If Ye Feng was not mistaken, that should be the Soto Great Soul Arena.

"Interesting. I should go have some fun tomorrow."

Ye Feng rubbed his chin, finding it rather interesting.

Besides, if he went to the Great Soul Arena, he could also give away the large number of useless Traits in his possession.

He had equipped most of his good Traits on himself, leaving only those with negative effects or minor enhancement effects.

Minor enhancement effects were practically worthless to Ye Feng. He might as well give them away and obtain more Draw Chances.

As for Traits with negative effects, he would naturally find destined recipients and gift them away.

The next day, noon.

Ye Feng slowly stepped out of his carriage and entered the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Upon entering the main hall, the first thing he saw was a massive stone monument densely carved with names. These were all unlucky people who had died in the Soul Arena. Displaying it in the most conspicuous place was naturally meant to warn newcomers not to court death.

Of course, those who courted death were only a minority. Most people came here to make money.

After arriving at the registration desk and briefly entering his rank and martial soul information, Ye Feng successfully registered.

A few soul masters passed by and saw Ye Feng entering the Great Soul Arena alone. Seeing how young he was, they immediately began whispering among themselves.

"Tsk, tsk, another pretty boy. Wonder which family's young master he is..."

"Last month, there was a pretty boy who didn't know his limits. I remember he was carried out."

"Heh, this sort is just a punching bag. But this kid is so young, he's probably only around level eleven or twelve. I'm not even interested in beating him up..."

Several burly men muttered among themselves. They were not laughing loudly, but their words were hardly pleasant.

Ye Feng lowered his head and remained silent, simply giving away Traits...

Same-Sex Attraction (Green): You have delicate features. Your attraction to the same sex increases by 20.

Arrogant (Green): You possess extraordinary confidence in yourself. Strength +10, Intelligence -10.

Ironhead (Green): You find it difficult to yield before all kinds of hardship. You refuse to submit even if beaten to death. Willpower +10, Intelligence -30.

Don't Bully the Poor Old (White): After reaching 120 years old, all attributes increase by 2%.

After giving away more than a dozen trash Traits in one go, Ye Feng finally turned and entered the preparation area.

Although this kind of tricking people was immoral.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was not a good person, nor did he have much of a conscience. Naturally, he felt no guilty self-reproach.

Soul masters were tough, anyway. Each of them could handle seven or eight trash Traits without issue. At most, it would lower their quality of life a little.

After giving away more than a dozen Traits, Ye Feng obtained a total of twenty-one Draw Chances. The gains were quite substantial, so he could enjoy himself properly tonight.

The Soul Arena was divided into the competition zone and the life-and-death zone.

Ye Feng was not a bloodthirsty person, nor did he have any life-and-death grudges with anyone, so he naturally chose to have some fun in the competition zone.

However, just as Ye Feng entered the preparation area, he unexpectedly spotted several familiar figures. It was Shrek!

This time, however, Zhao Wuji was not leading them. Instead, it was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

Although Ye Feng was seeing this middle-aged man for the first time, he recognized at a glance that this was Yu Xiaogang.

Since it was their first meeting, he naturally needed to give him a greeting gift.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng gave away a purple Trait he had treasured for a long time.

Sunflower Manual (Purple): Cultivating it can improve one's aptitude, but one will also lose some unimportant things... (Yu Xiaogang)

Although this was a Trait, it belonged to the cultivation technique category. Ye Feng had never equipped it himself, but he could roughly guess its purpose.

When he needed one in the future, he could draw a few practical cultivation technique Traits.

Techniques like Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track could be considered devastating advantages in this trash world.

Although Ye Feng's talent was very strong, that would only matter in the late stages. If he could draw a powerful cultivation technique to tide him over early on, that would be much more comfortable.

Just as Ye Feng gave away the Trait, Yu Xiaogang's body suddenly stiffened.

For no apparent reason, a great deal of strange information appeared in his mind, eventually forming a cultivation technique—the Sunflower Manual.

"What is this... Could it be a hidden talent of my martial soul? The Sunflower Manual... It can actually improve my aptitude after cultivation. Could it allow me to break through level thirty...?"

Yu Xiaogang stood rooted to the spot, countless thoughts racing through his mind.

It seemed that he had obtained an extraordinary opportunity.

Although cultivating this thing would cause him to lose something, if it could truly allow him to break through level thirty, he could accept paying some price.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang suddenly stop, Tang San hurriedly asked in concern.

"N-Nothing. Hurry inside. You must give your all in every battle. Every fight will pit you against different opponents, which can greatly improve your ability to respond in battle and your combat experience. I will watch every fight and summarize it for you afterward," Yu Xiaogang said calmly, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"Teacher, we'll work hard!"

Tang San spoke with a determined expression, then led the others straight into the Soul Arena zone.

This time, all seven of them had come together, and they would be fighting a seven-man team battle. Oscar was among them as well.

Through the efforts of Grandmaster and Flender, although Oscar had not kicked his bad habit, he finally stopped doing it in public. Furthermore, he had to wash his hands before every battle. Only then did Tang San and the other two accept it and reluctantly manage to eat Oscar's big sausages.

Of course, the three girls—Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu—still had psychological trauma and refused to eat them even if beaten to death.

Yu Xiaogang had no solution to this. What Oscar did was indeed too disgusting. If Oscar did not wash his hands before making sausages, Yu Xiaogang found it disgusting too...

As everyone entered the battle waiting area, they happened to run into Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng? Why are you here?!"

Xiao Wu was the most familiar with Ye Feng. Seeing him appear here, she immediately went over to him with a delighted expression.

After all, Xiao Wu was the only one who knew Ye Feng's true identity. Logically speaking, it should have been nearly impossible for him to leave the Star Dou Forest, yet he had appeared here.

Could it be that Ye Feng has changed his mind and is willing to join Shrek? Is that why he came here to find me?

That was Xiao Wu's thought at this moment.

"I had business in Suotuo City. I thought this place looked fun, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence," Ye Feng replied with a faint smile.

Although he knew Shrek came here every day to fight a few matches, Ye Feng did not know exactly when they came. Running into them really was quite a coincidence.

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

Xiao Wu was immediately somewhat disappointed upon hearing that.

Just as she was about to invite Ye Feng to form a team, Tang San quickly walked over.

Tang San Again, and the Girls' Little Thoughts

"Xiao Wu, that guy stole Xiao Ao's soul ring last time. He's not a good person. Why are you so familiar with him?"

Tang San pulled Xiao Wu to his side and looked at Ye Feng with a wary expression. His eyes were filled with hostility, even carrying a faint trace of killing intent.

After all, Xiao Wu was his forbidden possession!

He absolutely would not allow Xiao Wu to get so close to another man!

Especially not that pretentious brat called Ye Feng!

"Third Brother, you're not allowed to speak about Ye Feng like that. Ye Feng is my friend!"

However, upon hearing Tang San slander Ye Feng like that, Xiao Wu immediately became displeased and directly shouted at Tang San.

"X-Xiao Wu... You yelled at me again for him????"

Tang San was stunned in place from being shouted at, his head buzzing.

"Xiao Wu, I'm only here to have some fun. We're all participating in the competition matches. If we're lucky, we might run into each other~" Ye Feng said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, Ye Feng, you're so strong. If you run into us, you have to go easy on us~" Xiao Wu covered her mouth and laughed softly.

"Depends on my mood."

Ye Feng waved a hand, then found himself a seat and sat down to wait for the draw.

While he was at it, he casually tossed more than a dozen ordinary Traits onto Tang San and the other Shrek members.

Miser (Blue): You only like making money and hate spending it. Fortune +20. (Flender)

Finding Joy in Hardship (Green): When enduring extreme pain, your cultivation speed increases by 10%. (Tang San)

Mousehearted (White): You are very timid, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Luck +10. (Ma Hongjun)

Ruined Chrysanthemum (Blue): Front-facing defense increases by 10%, back-facing defense decreases by 30%. (Dai Mubai)

This time, Ye Feng gave away all of his trash Traits and gained a full twenty-eight Draw Chances.

Adding the previous ones, Ye Feng's Draw Count had now accumulated to eighty.

After returning, he could properly indulge himself and go for a few big draws.

Ye Feng secretly thought to himself.

"Xiao Wu, did you know that guy before? Why are you so close to him?"

"That guy even hit Third Brother last time... Xiao Wu, don't you feel even a little upset about that?"
