Return to the Great Soul Arena

As night fell, Flender gathered everyone in the square!

Ning Rongrong and Oscar were also there; judging from her appearance, she must have already run twenty laps.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Ning Rongrong Lu Yuan him a sweet smile, which made Oscar, who was standing to the side, stare in disbelief. However, he then sighed and shook his head, realizing that no matter how good the girl was, he had no chance with her.

Lu Yuan nodded to Ning Rongrong and pulled Zhu Zhuqing aside.

When Flender saw everyone arrive, he nodded and said, "Everyone's here, very good. Tonight, we'll be taking our assessment in Suotuo City. I'll lead the way, so stay close to me."

Flender said, leading the charge ahead.

Lu Yuan and the others followed behind Flender.

Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind Flender.

Following behind the two were Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu, then Ning Rongrong and Oscar, with Dai Mubai walking alone at the very back.

Perhaps it was the murderous intent Lu Yuan displayed today that frightened Dai Mubai, because Dai Mubai now dares not get too close to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's Soul Power was the highest among all the students. If he used his full strength, his speed would not be much slower than Flender's, but he always maintained the same speed as Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing has also reached level 37, which is the same as Dai Mubai's Soul Power. As Agility-Attack Soul Master, her speed is second only to Lu Yuan among the students, and naturally much faster than Ma Hongjun and the others.

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu had similar Soul Power, around level 28 or 29, and were both Battle Soul Master, so they were faster than Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

Oscar and Ning Rongrong, being support-type Soul Master, were undoubtedly the slowest, so it was normal for them to fall behind.

A simple run is actually a simple way to differentiate people's abilities.

Shrek Academy is only twenty miles from Suotuo City. For these Soul Masters, who are at least level 27, using their Soul Power over such a short distance is not a significant drain on their abilities.

Even support-type Soul Master, such as Ning Rongrong and Oscar, can persevere completely.

Soon the group arrived in Suotuo City and found a teahouse to sit down.

Lu Yuan naturally wouldn't let Flender order any inferior tea, as he couldn't stand that kind of tea. He ordered some better tea, and everyone sat down.

"Dean, are we having class here today?" Oscar asked.

"Not here, but across the street!" Flender pointed to the tall building across the street, which was the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.

"What is this place?" Xiao Wu had never seen the Great Soul Arena before, so she was a little curious.

"This is the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, a place specifically for Soul Master to compete!" Before Flender could speak, Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and said softly.

"Hmph!" Seeing that it was Lu Yuan who spoke, Xiao Wu snorted and turned her head away.

Lu Yuan didn't even bother to look at her, and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the Dean means that all Battle Soul Master will have to compete in a match at the Great Soul Arena tonight."

"You're right, kid. That's exactly what I meant!" Flender said.

"But isn't this a bit too early?" Dai Mubai, who hadn't spoken until now, said.

"This is something they'll have to go through sooner or later. You must remember, you are not ordinary people, you are monsters. Monsters naturally need to be taught in a monster-like way," Flender said calmly.

"Dean Flander is right. Real combat is the only essence of Battle Soul Master. In the Great Spirit Arena, you will encounter all kinds of Battle Soul Master. Their fighting styles are varied, which can help you quickly accumulate combat experience and hone your combat skills."

"If you want to become stronger quickly, the Great Spirit Arena is actually a great place to hone your skills!"

Looking calmly at everyone, Lu Yuan spoke indifferently.

"So what you said during the day that I would have a battle tonight, you meant the Great Soul Arena?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, recalling Lu Yuan's words.

"Well, since Dean Flander said we'd be gathering tonight for a special lesson, it can only be the Great Soul Arena," Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded upon hearing this.

"Well, we've rested enough, let's go!" Flender put down his teacup and led the way toward the Great Soul Arena.

Lu Yuan and the others followed behind Flender.

"Lu Yuan, are only you Battle Soul Master participating in the battle today? We support-type Soul Master shouldn't need to, right?" As she walked, Ning Rongrong approached Lu Yuan and asked softly.

"We probably won't need to do one-on-one, but for two-on-two, you support-type Soul Master should also participate. We can't let the fact that you're support-type Soul Master mean you don't need to accumulate combat experience, can we?" Lu Yuan said.

"There are also two-on-two matches?" Ning Rongrong blinked and asked.

She knew about the Great Soul Arena, but as a support-type Soul Master, she had never been inside, so she didn't really understand some of the rules of the Great Soul Arena.

"Of course, the regular forms of Soul Fighting in the Great Soul Arena are mainly divided into three types: one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. You will be participating in one-on-one or two-on-two battles. However, if you are participating in two-on-two, it is best to have a team," Lu Yuan said.

"How about we form a group?" Ning Rongrong said softly.

"Sorry, he'll be in a group with me!" Zhu Zhuqing appeared out of nowhere and wrapped her right arm around Lu Yuan's left arm.

"This girl!" Lu Yuan found it somewhat amusing. He had explained everything to her during the day, but she was still jealous.

But it's good that she's jealous; at least it shows that she cares about me.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Ning Rongrong's pretty face paused slightly. She looked at Lu Yuan, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"I won't team up with you either. My level is a bit too high right now, and you won't get much training benefit from following me. However, you could team up with Ning Rongrong. With the strength of your Nine Lives Heavenly Cat Martial Soul and the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the two of you should have a pretty high chance of winning."

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan said.

"Team up with her?" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ning Rongrong, then looked at Lu Yuan with some doubt. Knowing that there was some friction between Ning Rongrong and her, why would he arrange for them to team up? Was it really because he said that their chances of winning would be higher?

"Otherwise, if you don't team up with her, who would you like to team up with from the rest of the group? Ning Rongrong is your best choice for a teammate!"

Lu Yuan smiled as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing, then turned to Ning Rongrong and said, "Similarly, Zhu Qing is also a very good partner for you. She is very strong, with almost no rivals in the Soul Elder realm. With your support abilities, taking on two opponents at once is not a problem, and the win rate is quite high. What do you think?"

"Okay! Then I'll team up with her!" Ning Rongrong said, her beautiful eyes sparkling slightly.
