After arriving at Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena, Mo Bai once again felt the technological disparity in this world.

The difference between the countryside and a major city was far greater than merely heaven and earth.

Damn it, Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena had computers, giant display screens, colored lights, sound systems, and microphones. It was hardly any different from the upscale dance halls of Mo Bai's previous life!

And this Suoto City Grand Spirit Arena was even larger. Aside from the central area, where every match was packed to the brim, there were over a hundred spirit-fighting arenas around it.

"We'll just enter the 1VS1 spirit fights!"

After learning about the various spirit-fighting events offered by the arena, Mo Bai chose the one-on-one matches.

The three of them were all Battle Spirit Masters. Support System Spirit Masters had to team up with others.

However, the team matches here only came in 2VS2 and 7VS7 formats. Since Mo Bai's group had three people, they might as well all compete in 1VS1 matches.

"No, Mo Bai, I want to team up with you for 2VS2! It's too boring if we're all fighting alone!"

After hearing Mo Bai's words, Xiao Wu shook her head in objection.

Then her big eyes fixed themselves on Mo Bai.

"...Fine!"

Mo Bai glanced at Xiao Wu. After thinking it over, he agreed. After they were done having fun at the spirit arena this time, he would be leaving. He had no idea when they would meet again, so he might as well indulge this little girl's request.

"Please register another two-person team for us!"

Mo Bai then turned to the staff member in charge of registration.

"A two-person team? Mo Bai and Xiao Wu, got it!"

"Give your team a name. Oh, and it can only be two characters long!"

The staff member quickly completed the registration, then asked Mo Bai to name the team.

"A name? Whatever. Let's call it the Blue Rabbit Combination!"

Upon hearing that, Mo Bai casually came up with a team name.

"Blue Rabbit Combination? Sorry, that name has already been taken. Please choose another one!"

Unfortunately, someone had already claimed it.

"Then let's call ourselves the White Rabbit Combination! Mo Bai's Bai, plus my Martial Soul—it fits perfectly. And White Rabbit is such a cute name!"

Before Mo Bai could speak, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up from beside him.

White Rabbit Combination?

Mo Bai looked at Xiao Wu speechlessly. Are you sure?

Isn't that a little too harmless?

Hmm... though the Blue Rabbit name he had just picked did not seem much better.

Tang San, standing nearby, felt somewhat gloomy and deeply envious.

But he did not say anything. It was best for the two Spirit Masters in a duo to be at the same level. He was only a Soul Grandmaster now, while Xiao Wu was already a Soul Elder.

If the two of them teamed up, their opponents would only be teams made up of two Soul Elders. That would be far too dangerous.

"White Rabbit Combination. That name is available!"

After checking, the staff member spoke up.

"Then we'll use that!"

Mo Bai shrugged. Forget it, the name was not important.

"Alright, the registration has been completed!"

The staff member quickly finished the process.

And just like that, the White Rabbit Combination was born.

After registering, Mo Bai's individual match was scheduled for the afternoon.

His two-person match with Xiao Wu, however, was only half an hour away.

"Today's duo match is quite interesting—both sides are newly formed teams!"

"Furthermore, both team names are quite interesting. They're both little animals!"

"Let us welcome both teams to the arena: the White Rabbit Combination and the Cat Mouse Combination!"

Amid the host's opening speech and the audience's cheers, Mo Bai and Xiao Wu entered the spirit arena.

Across from them stood a man and a woman as well.

The man was short, fat, and burly, while the woman was tall, slender, and beautiful.

"Wow, there are so many people!"

Standing beside Mo Bai, Xiao Wu waved to the audience under the spotlight while exclaiming in amazement.

Just from the look of Xiao Wu, it was clear that she found spirit fighting incredibly fun.

"There are still relatively few people here. Once we win five matches in a row and enter the central area, it'll be even livelier!"

Mo Bai said calmly.

If not for the novelty of it—for the experience of competing in the Soul Fighting Arena—Mo Bai did not particularly enjoy standing beneath the spotlight and fighting under the gaze of countless spectators.

Assassins always had to keep themselves hidden in the shadows.

But he was no longer an assassin. He had not been one for many years already!

"Alright, the Cat Mouse Combination and the White Rabbit Combination are both on the stage. I now declare the match... begin!"

Seeing the audience's anticipation rise, the host announced the start of the match.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

"Martial Soul Possession!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the Cat Mouse Combination on the opposite side summoned their Martial Souls and entered Martial Soul Possession.

The man's Martial Soul was a rat, while the woman's was a cat.

They each had three Spirit Rings—white, yellow, and purple—not the optimal configuration.

Still, they were both Soul Elders.

"Xiao Wu, be careful!"

After reminding Xiao Wu, Mo Bai stepped forward.

"Dance of Blue Silver!"

As Mo Bai took that step, Blue Silver Grass rose around him as though it had burst through the ground. Then, one leaf after another spun free, whirling around Mo Bai's body.

"It's actually Blue Silver Grass..."

"My god, can someone with Blue Silver Grass as their Martial Soul really become a Spirit Master?"

"And it looks so cool..."

"..."

The moment Mo Bai's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul appeared, enthusiastic cries erupted from the audience.

None of them had expected to see a Soul Elder whose Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. The sight of Blue Silver Leaves spinning around Mo Bai was exceptionally cool as well.

"Tch~"

Xiao Wu, who had also summoned her Martial Soul and entered Martial Soul Possession, quietly clicked her tongue in disdain when she saw Mo Bai use that move to draw the audience's attention.

In truth, she was incredibly envious.

"It's actually Blue Silver Grass!"

"Let's go!"

The Rat Man was startled when he saw Mo Bai's Martial Soul. Then he called out to his companion, the Cat Girl.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rat Man grabbed the Cat Girl's right leg and directly hurled her toward Mo Bai and Xiao Wu.

"First Spirit Skill: Speed Boost!"

As the Cat Girl was thrown through the air, she also used Speed Boost on herself.

Whoosh~

Almost instantly, the Cat Girl arrived before Mo Bai. She spread her clawed hands and slashed directly at him.

She believed that Mo Bai's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could not be very powerful, so she intended to take him out immediately.

Thanks to reader Luo Curtain Mu for the reward!
