The return journey went smoothly. In this era, with the City of Slaughter and Spirit Hall in existence, Evil Soul Masters had almost no ground to survive on.

Ye Wen's only trouble now was that he had originally only wanted to change the world, yet it had somehow escalated into saving it.

But he was still far too weak, so he could only take things one step at a time.

However, when passing through Heaven Dou Imperial City, Ye Wen's long-dormant childish side suddenly stirred. He felt that, having come all this way and passed through the capital of this country, not going in for a look around would be a waste. A proper balance between work and rest was the true path of cultivation, so Ye Wen entered Heaven Dou Imperial City and began sightseeing.

Looking at the distinctly medieval-style yet somewhat filthy and run-down Heaven Dou Imperial City, Ye Wen felt a trace of disdain.

It was one thing for a place like Nuoding City to be dirty and disorderly, but for a nation's capital to be like this only showed how little this country cared about its people's livelihoods.

But when he remembered that Douluo World was, after all, a fantasy world, he let it go. He simply followed wherever the crowds went, and before he knew it, Ye Wen had arrived outside the Heaven Dou Soul Arena. After paying the entrance fee, he went inside and began wandering around.

As expected of Heaven Dou's capital, the quality of Soul Masters here was clearly higher than in other cities. Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings, rare sights elsewhere, seemed to be everywhere here. Nearly every main arena featured experts of that level, and at the central Soul Fighting Arena, there were even Soul Emperor-level experts dueling.

Since he had come to a place like this, Ye Wen decided to place a small bet. At the very least, it would give him a sense of participation.

He walked over to the betting counter displaying the upcoming Soul Master matches and slowly scanned the listings. Though he only intended to gamble a little, if he spotted an expert he knew, placing a large bet and making a fortune would not be out of the question.

Suddenly, Ye Wen's gaze sharpened as he looked at a sign in the corner.

"Wolf King Haggis, 1:1, versus Spider Emperor Bibi Dong, 1:5?"

=( )━F*ck━=( )━Damn!!!! A wild Bibi Dong has appeared!!!

"How did this lovesick fool end up here? The original story never mentioned it."

"No, why am I worrying about that? I've run into a benefactor. As Spirit Hall's Saintess, Bibi Dong's combat strength must be outstanding. Some random Wolf King or whatever is surely just a target sent in to give Spirit Hall experience and establish their prestige."

Because he needed to earn subsidies with "wisdom" and avoid exposing himself as a genius, Ye Wen usually restricted both his Soul Power and his spending. But now his eyes had turned green. He hurriedly took all of his Gold Soul Coins to place a bet, his eyes seemingly filled with the symbol of money. (¥¥)

"Two hundred Gold Soul Coins on Bibi Dong of Group A-13 to win!"

The cashier had clearly seen much bigger scenes and was not startled by Ye Wen's mere two hundred Gold Soul Coins. He calmly accepted the coins and gave Ye Wen proof of his bet.

At that moment, Ye Wen seemed to see countless little coins waving at him. The corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, and in high spirits, he headed early to the Soul Fighting Arena where Bibi Dong's match would be held.

Although he had arrived early, there were already plenty of people there, since several Soul Dueling matches were scheduled before Bibi Dong's.

But Ye Wen's heart was already brimming with anticipation. He wondered just how beautiful the real-life young Bibi Dong would be. After all, she had been ranked among the top ten goddesses of Chinese animation.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Bibi Dong's group's turn.

There was nothing much to say about Wolf King Haggis. He was simply a middle-aged man with a face full of sideburns. According to the information available before the match, this man was only in his twenties, a level 28 Soul Grandmaster with thirty-seven wins and twenty losses. Compared to Dai Mubai in the original story, whose win-loss ratio had been nearly even, he was already considered very strong.

Still, it seemed Wolf Soul Masters were really prone to growing up ugly. -_-|| At any rate, the wolf-type Soul Masters Ye Wen knew all seemed to have rather large beards.

As for Bibi Dong, she should have been the same age as him. Even if she was older, she could only be around ten. Yet Spirit Hall really was willing to let her come out and train.

Under Ye Wen's expectant gaze, Bibi Dong slowly stepped onto the Soul Dueling Platform. Though she was only ten years old, she had already grown graceful and elegant, resembling a twelve-year-old girl. Her fitted pale-yellow leather armor outlined her figure, giving her an air of heroic valor.

Ye Wen's eyes lit up at the sight. He had grown accustomed to Ah Yin's noble aura, so Bibi Dong's dashing appearance was truly refreshing.

The perverted old men in the audience let out waves of astonished cries as well. However, Bibi Dong apparently had no intention of revealing her identity. The two sides swiftly began their battle. Eight ferocious spider lances shot toward Wolf King Haggis, who had almost no chance to fight back before being instantly suppressed by Bibi Dong.

During their battle, Ye Wen realized that spider-type Martial Souls had an extremely strong suppressive advantage in attack power over ordinary beast Soul Masters who fought with their hands. Not to mention the poison brought by that Super Martial Soul, which ordinary Soul Masters could not withstand.

All that could be said was that Haggis had not lost unjustly.

Over the next period of time, Ye Wen discovered that Bibi Dong fought a Soul Dueling match every day for an entire month. Ye Wen also made a fortune. Though Bibi Dong's odds dropped later on, he still earned one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. For a Soul Master from such a humble background, it was a windfall beyond imagination—enough to cover a lifetime of food, drink, and every other expense.

Though he was grateful for Bibi Dong's contributions on the Soul Dueling Platform, Ye Wen had no intention of approaching her to build any sort of relationship. He was too weak right now, while the karmic entanglements represented by Bibi Dong were far too great.

After silently expressing his gratitude to Bibi Dong from afar, Ye Wen disguised himself and prepared to leave.

During these days, word of his huge winnings had caught the attention of some people. The upper ranks looked down on such a small sum, but to lower-level Soul Masters, it was a windfall beyond imagination.

However, although Ye Wen's actual combat ability was not particularly strong, his ability to stay alive was second to none.

Run away~

Ye Wen leisurely set off on the road home. Powerful Soul Masters constantly brushed past him, yet they seemed unable to see him at all and simply ignored his presence.

"Damn it, where did that brat go? I clearly just saw him heading this way."

"Damn it! If I could just kill that brat, I could improve my cultivation conditions and break through to Soul Saint!"

"That kid must have some Soul Skill that can hide him, or perhaps he has a special Soul Tool that confused us. Maybe he's still in Heaven Dou City. But with so many people in Heaven Dou City, trying to find him now is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Looks like we can only give up."

Watching the unwilling Soul Masters, Ye Wen merely thought of himself as a handsome passerby and happily departed.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's identity was completely exposed, and she became a rising new Soul Master star on Douluo Continent.
