Soto Great Spirit Arena

An elderly man with white hair and beard but skin as delicate as a baby's walked over.

"Sword Uncle, just because of you and Bone Uncle, I can't keep that little girl in the sect. You've both spoiled her rotten."

Sword Douluo said with some displeasure, "Who says we've spoiled Rong Rong? You've only seen her playful side, not her well-behaved side. You have plenty of sons, but only one daughter. Can you really bear to let her go?"

"No matter what, I won't go looking for her, and neither will you. But Rong Rong didn't go to Shrek Academy. She's at an academy called Angel Academy."

"Angel? It can't be related to Spirit Hall, can it?"

Sword Douluo frowned. Spirit Hall was no benevolent organization, and that Pope's ambitions were only growing greater.

"Probably not..."

Ning Fengzhi also told Sword Douluo about Angel Academy.

"An academy in Heaven Dou City, and it even has a female Titled Douluo. If it truly has nothing to do with Spirit Hall, then Rong Rong studying there wouldn't be bad. Send someone to investigate it."

The moment Sword Douluo Chen Xin heard that there was a Titled Douluo, his interest was piqued. With a Titled Douluo there to protect Rong Rong, it was certainly better than that trash Shrek Academy.

"Understood."

"And Sword Uncle, don't go looking for Rong Rong. They'll be coming to Heaven Dou City in a few months anyway, since Angel Academy is here."

"You sure talk a lot of nonsense."

Sword Douluo left directly.

Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile. Sigh, that little princess who had been showered with endless love—he wondered whether Angel Academy could truly teach her well.

Night fell.

Xu Yichen pulled Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing out of their rooms.

"What is it?"

"I'm taking you to class."

"Class?"

"Yes. Cultivation is important for Soul Masters, but practical combat experience is even more important. Without real combat experience, even if you have the best soul bones, soul rings, and martial souls, you might still be killed by someone of a lower level."

Xu Yichen felt that this was indeed true. Without practical combat experience, even if one possessed power, they would not be able to use it properly.

"How are your Secret Techniques coming along?"

"How could it be that fast? We've only just finished learning the Grand Profound Scripture. We haven't even gotten started."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Xu Yichen. It was not like she was some immortal.

"Ahem, true."

"Where are we going?"

Zhu Zhuqing got straight to the point, looking eager to fight.

"Soto Great Spirit Arena. This will also be your main training ground from now on."

"The Great Spirit Arena!"

Ning Rongrong was interested as well. She had heard of such a place before, but she had never tried it herself, mainly because she was a Support System Soul Master.

"Yes, the Great Spirit Arena. After winning a match, you receive a badge. After that, every victory earns a certain number of points. Once your points reach a certain level, your badge can be upgraded. The lowest rank is Iron, followed by Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond."

"For you, the badge rank itself isn't important. As long as you grow, that's enough. But naturally, winning would be best."

"There are three types of spirit battles. The first is sparring, where both sides test their skills against each other. Killing or striking ruthlessly is forbidden.

"The second is a death match, used to settle irreconcilable disputes.

"The last is a wager match. The Great Spirit Arena acts as the referee, and both sides send out the same number of Soul Masters to compete. The final victor receives everything stipulated in the wager.

"A wager match begins as a death match. Many nobles and clans often use this method when they have major conflicts with one another."

Xu Yichen explained everything in great detail.

"You'll mainly be doing sparring matches. There are also three formats: one-on-one, two-on-two, and group battles. Since Rong Rong is a Support System Soul Master, we'll be doing two-on-two battles. I believe you'll definitely grow from this."

As he spoke, they arrived at the Soto Great Spirit Arena.

After registering, they entered the fourteenth sub-arena in the sparring area.

"Huh? Dean, it's them."

Xu Yichen looked over and saw Tang San's group.

"It's you!"

Dai Mubai glared furiously at Xu Yichen.

"Oh, oh, isn't this the little kitty? What, you came to the Soul Arena too? Aren't you afraid someone will beat you into a real cat?"

"Hmph!"

Dai Mubai knew he could not defeat Xu Yichen, so he said nothing more. There would be a time for Xu Yichen to pay later.

He then looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside Xu Yichen.

"You..."

"From now on, I have nothing to do with you."

"You're Zhu Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai seemed to realize something.

"You're my fiancée... How can you have nothing to do with me?"

Dai Mubai frowned deeply.

"Not anymore. You coward, you left Zhuqing alone in Star Luo, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

Xu Yichen stepped directly in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"You... This has nothing to do with you!"

"Hmph! Zhu Zhuqing is already a student of Angel Academy. If you keep harassing her, the Titled Douluo of Angel Academy might pay your Star Luo Empire a visit!"

Dai Mubai's eyes widened. This was a threat! It was definitely a threat! They actually dared to threaten him!

But Angel Academy really did have a Titled Douluo. Damn it!

Dai Mubai clenched his fists and left as well.

"That's it?"

The Soul Masters in the waiting area wore astonished expressions. This was too exciting—even a Titled Douluo had been brought up.

"What kind of academy is Angel Academy? It even has a Titled Douluo."

"No idea. It looks incredibly formidable. They aren't even afraid of the Star Luo Empire."

"Tsk, tsk..."

"What's going on with Tang San?"

Ma Hongjun looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening.

Tang San could only recount yesterday's events to him.

"Hiss! That's incredible. A female Titled Douluo... If only I could—"

Tang San immediately covered Ma Hongjun's mouth.

"Are you trying to die? She's right over there. If you say it out loud, I won't be able to save you."

"Right... That scared me to death."

Ma Hongjun slapped himself, his heart still filled with lingering fear.

Not far away, Xu Yichen looked regretful. If Ma Hongjun had said it, Ling Xi could have dealt with him openly and justifiably.

After all, a Titled Douluo must not be insulted!

"Brother, let's go register for two-on-two. We can meet the point requirement sooner that way. What do you think?"

Xiao Wu still looked somewhat wary of Ling Xi. After all, she was a Titled Douluo and could see through Xiao Wu's soul beast identity.

"No problem."

Watching Tang San and Xiao Wu leave, Xu Yichen led Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong after them.

"Why are you following us?"

With a Titled Douluo following her, Xiao Wu felt uncomfortable all over.

"Nonsense. We're registering!"

In the end, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully registered, still using the name Three-Five Combination.

"Here, register us."

The registration staff quickly finished registering Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong as well.

"Let's call ourselves the Dawn Combination."

"That sounds nice. Let's use that."

Zhu Zhuqing had no objections.

The Li of glazed glass, and the Ming of the netherworld—it was a homophonic pairing.

Please bookmark, recommend, and keep reading! I'm begging you!!!

The female romance may progress a little slowly at first, since Ning Rongrong and the others are still young, and I'm afraid of getting banned. But once we return to Heaven Dou City, Liu Erlong, Tang Yuehua, and the others will be no problem. I hope everyone won't be too impatient.
