Nine Heart Spirit Cat

"Okay." Xiao Wu agreed without hesitation.

"Just as expected of good sisters." Ning Rongrong smiled happily, walked to Xiao Wu's side, and affectionately linked arms with her.

Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, her gaze turning toward Ye Feng.

Xiao Wu's actions had already made it obvious. The only reason she agreed to form a two-person team with Ning Rongrong was because of Ye Feng. Ning Rongrong was Ye Feng's junior sister, so Xiao Wu naturally wanted to get along well with her.

Next, the monsters of Shrek Academy began looking for teammates in pairs.

Oscar approached Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun approached Tang San, and Xiao Wu teamed up with Ning Rongrong. Before long, only Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing had yet to form a two-person team.

"Ye Feng, shall I team up with you? I have a feeling that I can form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with you." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was calm, concealing the excitement in her heart.

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Everyone present cried out in surprise. Zhu Zhuqing had just said that her Martial Soul could form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ye Feng's.

"Zhu Zhuqing, is that true?" Flender asked in astonishment.

As a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, Flender knew what a Martial Soul Fusion Skill meant to Soul Masters.

The power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not simply one plus one equals two. Rather, one's combat strength increased exponentially.

Looking across the world of Soul Masters, forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with another Soul Master was not something that could happen merely because one wanted it to. Even twins, or two Soul Masters with identical Martial Souls, might not necessarily be able to form one.

"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly.

"You can really form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ye Laoda?" Dai Mubai frowned deeply as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded firmly once more.

"Ye Laoda, is that true?" Dai Mubai still looked at Zhu Zhuqing doubtfully.

Dai Mubai was Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé. His Martial Soul was the Evil Eye White Tiger, and he could merge with Zhu Zhuqing to form the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger. Yet now, Zhu Zhuqing was telling Dai Mubai that she would merge with another man!!!

"Yes, I have the same feeling." Ye Feng nodded affirmatively.

"Hahaha, our academy has truly recruited two outstanding monsters this year. Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Feng, the two of you will form a two-person team." Flender laughed happily.

"Dean, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will be held soon. I suggest that each of us wear a mask when we compete, speak as little as possible, and use nicknames in the matches. That will help conceal our ages and prevent anyone with ulterior motives from learning our fighting methods," Ye Feng suggested.

"Good. Your suggestion is excellent. We'll do as you say." Flender nodded.

"Also, the eight of us must participate in one team match every day. That will improve our coordination and allow us to unleash even greater combat strength," Ye Feng continued.

"Good." Flender nodded.

"Furthermore, I personally request to run back and forth between Shrek Academy and Suotuo City every day, carrying one hundred kilograms, thirty round trips," Ye Feng continued.

"What?"

"Thirty round trips?"

"And carrying one hundred kilograms at that. Ye Feng, have you forgotten the distance between Shrek Academy and Suotuo City?"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun stared at him in dumbfounded shock.

Carrying one hundred kilograms and running thirty round trips every day.

That was not something a human could do. It was something only a monster could do.

"Hahaha, it's rare for you to make such a request. But can you manage it? From our academy to Suotuo City, even walking takes two hours," Flender asked.

"I can do it," Ye Feng answered firmly.

By running between Shrek Academy and Suotuo City thirty times every day, Ye Feng would no longer need to seek Zhao Wuji for practical combat lessons or listen to the instruction of the other teachers.

"Good. It's rare for you to be so diligent. Try it tomorrow first," Flender said.

"Alright." Ye Feng nodded.

"Mubai, take them to register," Flender instructed.

"Yes."

Dai Mubai nodded in acknowledgment and led the other seven monsters of Shrek Academy into the Great Soul Arena.

From Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Tang San, and the others learned about the badge ranks of the Great Soul Arena. There were eight badge ranks in total. From lowest to highest, they were iron, copper, silver, gold, purple gold, sapphire, ruby, and diamond.

"The Silver Spirit Badge is only the third rank. It won't be hard." Xiao Wu smiled confidently.

"It's not that simple. I started competing at the Great Soul Arena when I was level twenty. My current record is twenty-nine wins and twenty-seven losses, with a total of two points." Dai Mubai clenched his fists.

"Mubai, with your strength, how do you only have two points?" Tang San asked in surprise.

Although Tang San had not fought Dai Mubai at the Rose Hotel, he had seen Dai Mubai's strength during Dai Mubai's battle with Xiao Wu. Yet Dai Mubai had only accumulated two points at the Great Soul Arena.

"Nothing is impossible. It's not easy to make a name for yourself at Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena. Fatty, tell them your record," Dai Mubai ordered.

"Twenty-one wins, twelve losses, nine points," Ma Hongjun said.

"Do you understand now? Battles at the Great Soul Arena are grouped according to rank. Soul Masters of a certain level will encounter opponents of that same level. The opponents faced by a two-person team are determined by the teammate with the highest Soul Power Level. Ye Laoda is a level forty-nine Soul Elder, while Zhu Qing is a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster. If they form a two-person team, they'll face opponents in their forties. Nine times out of ten, both opponents will be Soul Ancestors in their forties. Zhu Qing, do you still want to form a two-person team with Ye Laoda?" Dai Mubai explained in detail, trying once again to persuade Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was Dai Mubai's fiancée, and Dai Mubai did not want her merging with another man. Even if it was not a physical union, but merely a fusion of Martial Souls.

"Pressure creates motivation." Zhu Zhuqing answered in an even tone.

"Fine. Go register, then." Dai Mubai relented.

At the Great Soul Arena, each person could only participate in one individual match per day, but they could participate in different types of matches at the same time. With good luck, one could earn three points in a single day. At the fastest, one could obtain a Silver Spirit Badge in two months.

Dai Mubai and Oscar formed a two-person team, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong formed the Seven Treasure Charming Rabbit two-person team, while Tang San and Ma Hongjun formed the Three Jun two-person team.

"The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins," said the attendant at the counter.

With a flick of his finger, Ye Feng took out ten Gold Soul Coins from his bracelet and placed them on the counter.

"Team name?" the attendant asked.

"Zhu Qing, you name it." Ye Feng smiled.

"Let's call it... Nine Heart Spirit Cat." After thinking briefly, Zhu Zhuqing replied.
