Luo Chuan vs. Dai Mubai

Flender maintained a fairly brisk pace, with Dai Mubai close on his heels, relying on his thirty-ninth-rank Soul Power. Luo Chuan, meanwhile, remained steadily at the very back, swaying along leisurely.

What surprised Luo Chuan was that Zhu Zhuqing had not made use of the advantage of being an agility-type Soul Master either. She was only two steps ahead of him.

Luo Chuan raised a brow and winked at Zhu Zhuqing. Her face reddened, and she promptly pulled farther ahead of him.

It was not until they reached Suotuo City that Flender finally slowed down.

Just like in the original story, they found a teahouse and ordered the cheapest tea. Flender explained their first lesson and assigned them a task: everyone had to obtain a Silver Soul Badge.

The only difference from the original story was that after assigning the task, Flender looked at Luo Chuan with a smile. "Xiao Chuan, my requirement for you is Gold Soul."

Luo Chuan lifted his head and nodded without objection. To him, earning Gold Soul was not difficult.

After all, he was confident that no matter what rank he reached, he could defeat every Soul Master at the same level.

That was the basic quality of a transmigrator.

Luo Chuan knew he could not beat Zhao Wuji senseless while still a Soul Elder, but crushing opponents at the same level was beyond doubt and beyond dispute.

Hearing Flender's requirement for Luo Chuan, Tang San frowned and immediately volunteered. "Dean, I can obtain a Gold Soul Badge too."

Flender glanced at Tang San and replied casually, "Fine."

After waiting a while longer, Dai Mubai also explained his wins and losses in the Soul Arena. Tang San no longer dared underestimate the Soul Arena's rules.

Just as he was at rank thirty-four, if he faced a rank thirty-nine Soul Master, it would be difficult for him to win.

"Let's go." Flender checked the time and led them into the Soul Arena. However, just as they entered, Luo Chuan took out a Golden Mask.

Flender looked at Luo Chuan in surprise before suddenly understanding. He turned to Tang San and the others. "Go buy masks as quickly as possible. Once you enter the Soul Arena, you are not allowed to reveal your identities."

"Yes!"

The others did not understand why, but they headed for the shops in the city without hesitation. Among them, only Ma Hongjun was stopped by Luo Chuan, who handed him a Fiery Red Mask that covered everything above the nose.

"The little fellow has thought things through quite thoroughly." Flender patted Luo Chuan on the shoulder. Luo Chuan stretched and yawned, clearly lacking interest.

Flender shot Luo Chuan an annoyed glare. This kid seemed never to have looked forward to anything. His temperament was absurdly steady, and his unruffled state of mind was even more stable than Flender's.

"I'll register for a badge first." Luo Chuan held out his hand to Flender. Flender's expression darkened, and he took out ten Gold Soul Coins with a black face before handing them over.

Luo Chuan secretly chuckled. Watching an iron rooster pluck out feathers was pretty satisfying.

Ma Hongjun immediately led Luo Chuan toward the Soul Arena. He looked lecherous, his small eyes darting everywhere.

At the counter, the sweet young receptionist did not slight Luo Chuan and Ma Hongjun in the least. She flashed a lovely smile and asked in a clear voice, "How may I help you?"

"Register a badge." Luo Chuan glanced at Ma Hongjun, who could not stop staring at the receptionist, and placed ten Gold Soul Coins on the counter.

"Certainly, esteemed Lord Soul Master. May I ask what name you would like to use?"

"Luo God!" The corners of Luo Chuan's lips curved up slightly as he gave the name without hesitation.

Ma Hongjun glanced at Luo Chuan but said nothing. By the time Luo Chuan's badge was ready, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been the quickest, had already arrived at the counter.

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested, "Xiao Chuan, in one-on-one matches, each person can only fight once a day. You can also team up with Junior Zhu Qing for a two-on-two match."

Luo Chuan looked at Ma Hongjun and said, "We're not in the same rank."

"You're not afraid Junior Zhu Qing will hold you back, are you?" Ma Hongjun winked. Luo Chuan was helpless, while Zhu Zhuqing had already received her badge and was now looking at him. "I'm rank twenty-nine. I shouldn't hold you back."

"You're sure you want to team up with me?" Luo Chuan was surprised. He glanced at Dai Mubai, who was arriving late behind them.

At that moment, Dai Mubai said without hesitation, "Zhu Qing, you and I will form a team."

"No need. Go find your twins." Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold as she turned to look at Luo Chuan again.

Luo Chuan handed his badge to Zhu Zhuqing. "Let's call ourselves the Cat God Combination."

Zhu Zhuqing turned around and handed both badges to the receptionist. Then, without hesitation, she paid ten Gold Soul Coins herself to register their team.

"Sign us up for a two-on-two Soul Duel while you're at it," Luo Chuan said. Zhu Zhuqing did as he said. Neither of them paid any attention to Dai Mubai, whose expression had already darkened like water.

"My lords, in a two-on-two match, you will face a team of two Soul Elders. Are you sure you wish to register?"

"Sure." Zhu Zhuqing was exceptionally decisive. She had seen Luo Chuan fight and knew how strong he was.

Once their badges were registered, Luo Chuan and Zhu Zhuqing left side by side, while Dai Mubai stared fixedly at their backs.

"Is it really alright to provoke him like this?" Luo Chuan asked, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's black mask.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. She looked at Luo Chuan curiously for a long time before asking, "You know about our relationship?"

"Hell White Tiger!"

"Will what I'm doing cause you trouble?" Zhu Zhuqing asked again.

"What trouble? Dai Mubai? I've never regarded him as a threat." Luo Chuan sat down in the waiting area and yawned again.

Zhu Zhuqing sat beside him, glancing at Luo Chuan from time to time. Seeing that he had kept his eyes closed and was resting, she swallowed the question she had wanted to ask.

It was not until an announcement came over the broadcast that Luo Chuan opened his eyes.

"Your opponent is Dai Mubai."

"Mm, I heard it." Luo Chuan had not fallen asleep, so naturally he had heard who his opponent was. Evil Eye White Tiger.

On the other side, Dai Mubai also stood up, his gaze fixed viciously on Luo Chuan.

"Who's stronger, Mubai or Luo Chuan?" Tang San frowned as he looked at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun shook his head. "Before you all arrived, Xiao Chuan rarely fought. It's hard to tell how deep his strength runs.

"But Boss Dai isn't his match."

"Not necessarily. Mubai's Martial Soul is the White Tiger, and he excels most at close combat." Although Tang San said that, he did not think highly of Dai Mubai's chances. After all, even his Hidden Weapons could not touch Luo Chuan in the slightest. If Luo Chuan chose to evade, Dai Mubai would never be able to touch him.

On the Soul Duel Arena, Dai Mubai's chest rose and fell as he slowly regulated his breathing.

Listening to the host's introduction, Luo Chuan slowly walked onto the Soul Duel Arena.

"Prepare for the Soul Duel. Both sides, please release your Martial Souls." The host was a beautiful young woman. Her Martial Soul was a dove, and its pure white wings carried her as she flew above the Soul Duel Arena.

"White Tiger, Martial Soul Possession!" Dai Mubai did not hesitate at all and immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession. His muscles bulged, and his body instantly became massive and brawny.

Luo Chuan raised his head slightly. He did not release his Martial Soul, merely lifting a hand and curling a finger in invitation.

Dai Mubai flew into a rage at the sight, but he did not impulsively launch the first attack.

Seeing this strange Soul Duel, the spectators outside immediately began shouting, "Go on! Release your Martial Soul!"

"Exactly! Release your Martial Soul! Evil Eye White Tiger, go hit him!"
