Early the next morning, everyone got up even earlier than usual.

They had all been looking forward to Dugu Bo or Zhao Lei arriving. In fact, both of them had gotten up early as well.

"Lord Zhao Lei, I'll be troubling you today!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

Zhao Lei replied weakly, "I can help you send your granddaughter, you know. At level 97, I definitely won't have any problem with it!"

How could Dugu Bo possibly agree? He immediately turned and left with Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

Neither Titled Douluo was foolish. Ye Han and the others had already been so ferocious when they only had two Soul Rings. Now that they had obtained their third Soul Rings, it would be even more so!

Besides, Ye Han was not someone who made empty boasts. That was why his Third Soul Skill truly concerned the two of them.

By noon, Zhao Lei forced out a strained smile. "Can we take a break today?"

"What do you think? Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, we'll go easy on you!"

As the battle began, Zhao Lei quickly realized something was wrong. Esdeath and the others, who should only have been level 31, were now level 39 as well. This made Zhao Lei utterly miserable.

Soon, the day's battle came to an end.

"Alright, Uncle Zhao! We'll set off early tomorrow morning for the Soto City Great Spirit Arena! We're going to watch a good show!" Ye Han's words made Zhao Lei's heart tremble.

Ye Han's target this time was indeed the Soto City Great Spirit Arena. It was not that he wanted to cause trouble for Tang San and the others.

Rather, the system had issued a mission.

Side Quest Triggered: Gold Spirit Arena Mission Description: Everyone must obtain an individual Gold Spirit Badge. At least three two-on-two teams must obtain Gold Spirit Arena status, and the team battle must obtain Gold Spirit Arena status. Mission Reward: NWO Game Skill Points ×2

Ye Han cared quite a bit about these skill points. There were many useful shared skills available to choose from.

After packing up, everyone left Second Dimension Academy and soon arrived in Suotuo City. Once they had booked an inn, they headed straight for the Great Soul Arena.

"Best Friend! Let's form a combination!" Todo said with a grin.

Ye Han knew that Todo had obtained Unrighteous Game and truly needed a certain degree of coordination, so he nodded in agreement.

"Great! Just as expected of my Best Friend! How about we call our combination Takada-chan?" Seeing Todo so excited, Ye Han had not intended to interrupt him.

But then Todo suggested that name. "No! We'll just be called the Todo-Ye Combination!"

"Best Friend! Look, I've already registered it! Takada-chan!" Looking at the token in Todo's hand, Ye Han's face darkened. He took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry.

Takada-chan it was, then! In any case, Ye Han did not plan to show his face. They were still rather young, and it would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives discovered them.

"Ara, as a Support Department Soul Master, I won't be joining the two-on-two matches. Good luck, everyone!" Kurumi's current abilities truly were not suited to two-on-two battles. Even for one-on-one matches, if not for the system's rules, Ye Han would not have let Kurumi participate.

"I'll team up with Xiao Feng! One power attacker and one defender—it's a perfect fit!" Lia looked toward Honjou Kaede beside her.

"No problem, Sister Lia. How about we call our combination Invincible Defense Type?" Honjou Kaede did not particularly care whom she teamed up with. She cared more about the name.

Lia shook her head upon hearing that. "I don't think it sounds good. How about Blessed Are Those Who Can Eat?"

Listening to the names the two came up with, Ye Han suddenly felt that Takada-chan was not entirely unacceptable.

After discussing it for a long while, the two ultimately decided to use both their weapons' names: Oath Dark Night.

On the other side, only Yoruichi and Esdeath remained. Their name was simple: Ice Death God.

Since Ye Han had arranged things in advance, all seven wore masks, and the names they submitted were the aliases they had chosen for themselves.

Ye Han did not have much of a pursuit for titles, so he simply used Golden Sparkle's real name: Gilgamesh.

Esdeath called herself the Ice Queen.

Kurumi was the Time Spirit.

Yoruichi was the Instant God.

Lia was the King of Britain.

Honjou Kaede was Maple.

Todo was the Curse Master.

These names represented their abilities fairly well and had been chosen by themselves, so Ye Han had no reason to stop them.

"Please proceed to Arena Number Two, Takada-chan Combination and Gale Combination!"

"So soon? Then we'll be going first!" Ye Han said with a smile as he headed toward Arena Number Two with Todo.

"On the left is the newly registered Takada-chan Combination, made up of two level 39 Power Attack Type Soul Elders and a long-range Soul Elder. Their strength is truly formidable! On the right is the Gale Combination, which has won eight matches in a row and is likewise made up of two level 39 Soul Elders! I'm sure everyone can hardly wait, so let the Soul Fighting begin!"

After both sides took the stage, the host gave a brief introduction and immediately announced the start.

"Playing mysterious, are you? Watch me smash your masks today!" the man at the front said arrogantly.

"Don't underestimate them, Wind Coat!"

"Tch, got it, Wind Walker!"

Facing their provocation, Todo spoke first. "What type of woman do you like?"

Ye Han covered his face. He knew it. Now, not only were their opponents stunned, but so was everyone watching the Soul Fighting match.

"Huh? Are you messing with me? What does the type I like have to do with you?" Wind Coat clearly had a rather violent temper.

Wind Walker, however, answered mildly, "A somewhat gentle woman would be fine! I don't have many requirements!"

"Hey! What are you doing, Wind Walker?" Wind Coat said irritably.

Todo, meanwhile, was greatly disappointed. "As expected, you're both boring people. In that case, I don't need to hold back!"

In just an instant, Todo vanished from his original position and threw a punch straight at Wind Coat. The latter crossed his arms to block it, but was still sent flying.

"Damn it, what incredible strength. Wind Walker, go deal with that long-range type. I'll hold him back! Gale Wolf, possess me!"

Wind Walker did not hesitate at Wind Coat's words and charged directly toward Ye Han.

"Best Friend!"

The moment he heard Todo's voice, Ye Han understood and nodded.

"Third Soul Skill, Unrighteous Game!"

Clap!

Todo pressed his palms together, producing a crisp sound.

Ye Han felt his position rapidly change. Wind Walker, who had been charging toward Ye Han, saw the person before him suddenly change and could not react in time. Todo knocked him back at once.

On Ye Han's side, he also drew a spear from the Gate of Babylon and sent Wind Coat flying.

"Damn it! First Soul Skill, Gale Claw!"

Clap!

Another crisp sound rang out. Wind Coat and Todo, who had been attacking, swapped positions. The Gale Claw heavily wounded the unprepared Wind Walker and sent him tumbling out of the Great Soul Arena.

"Damn it! What did you do?!" Wind Coat could not accept that he had severely injured Wind Walker himself.

Ye Han and Todo paid no attention to Wind Coat's furious roar and charged him together. One person against two naturally had no chance of winning, and he was soon sent off the stage as well!

The audience outside had watched the entire bizarre Soul Fighting match, and soon a great number of people began shouting the name Takada-chan.

After Ye Han's match ended, he was quickly called into a one-on-one battle. His opponent was only a level 33 Soul Elder and was defeated even more easily.

After a full day of Soul Fighting, everyone found it somewhat dull. Their opponents simply were not very strong.

"What boring battles! If this is all there is, it's far too uninteresting!" Esdeath's initially high spirits had turned into dissatisfaction by the end of the day.

"Tomorrow, I'll discuss it with the arena staff. We'll challenge opponents above our level! That should be a little more interesting, right?"

Thus, the seven oddballs became famous throughout the Great Soul Arena. Aside from team battles, which were not permitted, their two-on-two and one-on-one matches all pitted Soul Elders against Soul Ancestors.

At first, everyone thought they were overestimating themselves. Yet as Ye Han and the others continued their winning streak, their popularity steadily rose.

"Alright, dear audience! For our seven-on-seven team battle today, one side is the recently red-hot Second Dimension Battle Team, while the other is our Great Soul Arena's long-famous Mad Battle Team! What kind of battle will they bring us?"

Both sides entered the arena. As soon as the host announced the start, the seductive spiderwoman Soul Master at the back of the Mad Battle Team immediately activated her Soul Skill.

"Frenzy!"

Seeing the Mad Battle Team unleash their ultimate move right from the start, Ye Han smiled. "Todo, it seems your intimidation is quite impressive!"

The Mad Battle Team had clearly studied Ye Han and the others. They knew that in the recent team battles, Todo had always swapped positions with the opposing Support Department Soul Master, causing the enemy team to collapse.

Unable to find a good solution, the Mad Battle Team simply unleashed their ultimate move immediately. Even if they were swapped over again, it would not matter much.

However, their calculations were completely wrong. Esdeath erected an ice wall in the middle of the entire arena.

Because of Frenzy, the Mad Battle Team had lost all reason. Unable to see their enemies, they had no idea how to attack.

The spiderwoman Soul Master was naturally the most anxious under these circumstances, but there was nothing she could do. Once Frenzy was activated, it could not be interrupted. She had never expected the other side to deal with it this way.

Soon, three minutes passed and Frenzy's effects ended. The Mad Battle Team entered a weakened state, and Ye Han's group easily claimed victory.

The spectators watching the Soul Fighting match had not expected things to end like this.

Some said the Mad Battle Team were simply trash, so easily countered.

Others said Ye Han and the others did not dare face them head-on. However, Ye Han paid no attention to any of it. They had won, and that was enough.

After defeating the Mad Battle Team, Ye Han's group had reached a five-match winning streak. In a few more days, they would surely obtain the Silver Spirit Arena Badge for team battles.
