First Referee and Trainer

Dugu Xianmeng introduced Zhou Sichen to the exploits of this Golden Fairy, and Zhou Sichen finally gained a rough understanding of her.

In Zhou Sichen's memory, this great beauty later seemed to have gotten together with Wang Yan, who was still in the Outer Court... It was hard to comment on.

But this also proved that Han Ruoruo was not the sort to think too highly of herself. She should be easy to get along with.

Very soon, Zhou Sichen was matched with an opponent. A voice rang out from the Soul Tool broadcast: "Next match: Zhou Sichen, White Rank Soul Arena Badge, versus Chen Zifeng, Black Rank Soul Arena Badge."

As the Soul Tool broadcast fell silent, everyone present could not help exchanging looks.

Who? Chen Zifeng? A White Rank fighting a Black Rank?

Who was Chen Zifeng? He was a super genius on par with Ma Xiaotao, one of the next Shrek Team's Main Team Members. Though he was only a Soul King, his strength was terrifying, and he had few rivals in the Inner Court.

But since this White Rank was the monster Zhou Sichen, no one was quite so surprised.

After all, Zhou Sichen's heaven-defying performance yesterday was still fresh in everyone's minds. He had even suppressed Ma Xiaotao, a Soul Emperor. Handling Chen Zifeng, a Soul King, should not be a problem, right?

Zhou Sichen rose and headed for the preparation area. At the same time, a handsome young man who had been sitting quietly in a corner also moved.

He had not made a sound the entire time, and no one sat beside him. It was as though everything besides soul duels was beneath his notice.

But when he heard that his opponent was Zhou Sichen, he could not help looking over at him.

He had not witnessed Zhou Sichen's performance yesterday, but he had heard about it from other Inner Court Disciples.

Suppressing Ma Xiaotao with the power of a Soul Elder—Chen Zifeng also wanted to see whether he could do better than Ma Xiaotao.

That was right. Once Chen Zifeng learned that his opponent was Zhou Sichen, even with his proud nature, he no longer felt that he had much chance of winning.

He and Ma Xiaotao were both Assault System Soul Masters, but he did not have Ma Xiaotao's ability to fly. Facing a Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear nearing the Ten Thousand Year Level, he wanted to be confident, but could only face the helpless reality.

In truth, when Zhou Sichen had registered for a soul duel earlier, Chen Zifeng had already suspected something. He simply had not expected his opponent to truly be Zhou Sichen, that monster.

Still, this was good too. He could experience the strength of such a monster firsthand. It would count as tempering and improving himself.

Once the previous soul duel ended, Zhou Sichen and Chen Zifeng slowly stepped onto the Soul Dueling Platform.

Their gazes met, and Chen Zifeng said softly, "I hope you won't hold back. Let me properly experience your special abilities."

"Senior, I give my all in every battle." As he spoke, Zhou Sichen smiled slightly. "Zhou Sichen, martial soul: Book of Contracts, Level 40 Battle Soul Elder. Please guide me, Senior."

As his voice fell, Zhou Sichen slowly raised his right hand. The Book of Contracts, seemingly forged from gold, gradually appeared.

Then, three black Soul Rings that made everyone gasp rose slowly, floating and pulsing quietly around Zhou Sichen's body.

The moment everyone heard that Zhou Sichen had reached Level 40, they could no longer sit still. He had only been Level 38 yesterday!

But on second thought, Xuan Zi and the others had taken Zhou Sichen away yesterday. It was understandable that he had improved.

But weren't those supposed to be Three Purple Soul Rings? How had they become black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?

Three Purple Soul Rings were already enough to cause a sensation. What did three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings even mean?

Was this a Soul Ring configuration that a normal Soul Master could possess?

You could be a genius, you could be a monster, but did you have to pull off something this miraculous?

We thought your talent was only a little better than ours. Now it turned out that, in front of you, we were practically nothing...

Chen Zifeng, who was facing Zhou Sichen and directly feeling the pressure of those three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, could not help opening his mouth. The words he wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat.

Three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings? That meant three Ten Thousand Year Level Contracted Soul Beasts? And all of them were heaven-defying soul beasts such as the Ice Jade Scorpion, Hellfire Phoenix, and Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear?

A soul duel? Fight my ass! What had a mere Soul King like him done to deserve the full force of three such powerful Contracted Soul Beasts?

He probably would not even last a single exchange before being smashed to pieces.

In the audience, Dugu Xianmeng's cherry lips were wide enough to fit an egg. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as she looked at Zhou Sichen.

Even Han Ruoruo, the Golden Fairy, was utterly stunned, staring in disbelief at the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings around Zhou Sichen's body.

She was already a Soul Saint, yet after cultivating for so many years, she had never seen or even heard of someone whose First Soul Ring was at the Ten Thousand Year Level.

Well, now she had seen it.

The worldview she had built over the years seemed on the verge of shattering.

There was actually such a heaven-defying existence in this world? Yesterday they had been Thousand Year Soul Rings, and today they had become Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings?

Would they become Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings tomorrow?

Han Ruoruo knew better than anyone how powerful and special Zhou Sichen's three Contracted Soul Beasts were. Now that they were all at the Ten Thousand Year Level, let alone Chen Zifeng and Ma Xiaotao, even she might not be able to defeat them.

She had thought a genius was defying the heavens. Instead, the Sea King had come to blow up a fish pond...

After yesterday's battle with Ma Xiaotao, no one doubted Zhou Sichen's Soul Rings. Yet they simply could not believe it.

Some even suspected their eyes were playing tricks on them. They had cultivated too hard last night and damaged their brains, yet they still refused to believe this was real!

At that moment, a familiar, booming voice sounded from the Soul Tool broadcast. "Ahem, this is Qian Duoduo. Due to the special nature of Zhou Sichen's martial soul, the academy has decided in a meeting that, starting today, he will serve as the Soul Arena's First Referee and Trainer. Anyone who can defeat Zhou Sichen will immediately be promoted to a Red Rank Soul Arena Badge, and the academy will grant them a special reward."

Dean Qian's sudden announcement jolted everyone in the arena. This junior who had only just entered the Inner Court had now become the Soul Arena's First Referee?

Defeat him, and they could be directly promoted to a Red Rank Soul Arena Badge? The academy would even provide a special reward?

A Red Rank Soul Arena Badge did not merely mean better food. It meant enjoying the academy's highest treatment in every respect.

But when they saw the three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings around Zhou Sichen's body and thought of the strength of his three Contracted Soul Beasts, everyone could not help groaning in anguish.

Among all of them, even Han Ruoruo, the Golden Fairy, probably could not defeat a Ten Thousand Year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear, right?

What the hell were they supposed to play?

Especially Chen Zifeng. He had not even released his martial soul yet, but upon hearing this explosive news, he could not help wanting to slap himself twice.

Chen Zifeng, Chen Zifeng, couldn't you have come for a soul duel at any other time? Why did it have to be now?

Zhou Sichen was equally bewildered. When had the academy held this meeting and made this decision? Hadn't he only just left Sea God Pavilion...

They really did hold meetings often...

But then again, wouldn't this also raise his status in Shrek?

With this so-called First Referee and Trainer title, he was not only an Inner Court student, but also practically half a teacher to the other students?
