Nicknames

At a hotel in Suotuo City, Yu Xiaogang took out the masks and said, "Team battles have a team ranking, which two-on-two matches do not. There are nine of you, so you can take turns participating. Each person must take part in at least two Spirit Battles every day."

"Isn't it just two matches? Easy." Xiao Wu smiled confidently.

Oscar immediately pulled a long face. "Master, Ning Rongrong and I are support-system Soul Masters. Do we have to participate in two Spirit Battles too?"

Yu Xiaogang replied coldly, "If you don't want to participate, you can continue with the first training plan."

Seeing that no one said anything else, Yu Xiaogang continued, "The Spirit Arena has one-on-one individual matches, two-on-two matches, and team battles, which start the latest. Discuss your own teams. I require each of you to participate in one team battle and either one individual match or one two-on-two match every day. Of course, I do not object if you want to participate in all three, but you must manage your Soul Power carefully."

Oscar immediately ingratiated himself with Dai Mubai. "Boss Dai, let's team up!"

Dai Mubai hesitated as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing. Naturally, he wanted to team up with her, but Oscar immediately pleaded, "Boss Dai, my sausages can definitely help you! If you don't take me along, how long will it take for me to earn a Silver Spirit Badge on my own? Who knows how many years that'll be!"

"Mm, fine." Dai Mubai had no choice but to agree.

Ning Rongrong looked pitifully at Zhao Zilong. "Zilong, would you be willing to help me?"

Meng Yiran immediately became extremely wary upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words. She promptly wrapped her arms around Zhao Zilong's arm. "Zilong is teaming up with me."

A trace of disappointment appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes, while Zhao Zilong felt somewhat awkward. "How about this, Rongrong? I'll team up with Yiran, and I'll team up with you too. Today, I'll compete with Yiran first, then compete with you tomorrow. You two can take turns, one day each. How does that sound? Don't worry. With my strength, I can definitely carry you two to victory."

"Thank you, Zilong." Ning Rongrong immediately happily hugged his other arm. Meng Yiran looked as if fire was about to shoot from her eyes and snapped, "Let go, let go! Why are you holding him so tightly? It's just a team-up. What are you so excited about?"

A mischievous glint flashed through Ning Rongrong's eyes. Covering her mouth, she giggled sweetly. "Why are you so fierce, Sister Yiran? I'm only thanking Zilong. Look how nervous you are."

Zhao Zilong felt even more awkward. After all, Meng Yiran had already given herself to him. If he pulled up his pants and denied everything so soon, that would be downright beastly. He immediately pulled his arm from Ning Rongrong's grasp. "Um, Rongrong, Yiran, let's go register in a while."

"Mm." As she spoke, Ning Rongrong even made a face at Meng Yiran.

Zhao Zilong felt incredibly awkward and could only pretend not to see it. Meng Yiran, however, was nearly furious enough to explode. Forcibly suppressing her anger, she viciously pinched Zhao Zilong's thigh, while he could only endure it in silence.

Watching Zhao Zilong's move of having a girl on each arm, Dai Mubai could not help sighing. This guy was the real boss. If I dared do that, Zhuqing would have beaten me up long ago.

Oscar, who had been happy that Dai Mubai was teaming up with him, saw this scene and felt his heart shatter. His goddess had thrown herself into someone else's arms.

"Then, Zhuqing, why don't we do what Zilong and the others are doing?" Dai Mubai walked up to Zhu Zhuqing with a beaming smile.

Zhu Zhuqing gave Dai Mubai a cold glance and said icily, "Weren't you always the one with women on both arms?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Dai Mubai immediately cried injustice and hurriedly explained, "I mean we can team up too. The two of us can fight in today's two-on-two match, and Xiao Ao and I can fight in tomorrow's two-on-two match. What do you think?"

"Fine." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was clear and cold.

Ning Rongrong also suggested, "In that case, Zhuqing, why don't we team up too?"

"Alright."

"Third Brother, how about teaming up with me?" Ma Hongjun asked Tang San, who was standing nearby.

"But Xiao Wu and I have already formed the Three-Five Combination. Sorry." Naturally, Tang San refused.

"Looks like nobody wants me." Ma Hongjun looked at the others, all paired off in twos. The hotel was filled with the sickening atmosphere of couples showing affection. He was the only one single—no, it seemed Xiao Ao was single too.

Very soon, the teams for the two-on-two matches had been decided. Yu Xiaogang then said, "Alright, since you have formed your teams, Mubai and Zilong, I still need to remind you both of something. Your Soul Power has reached Level Thirty, which means the opponents you face will all be Level Thirty as well. Even if you team up with Zhuqing and Rongrong, whose Soul Power is still in the twenties, you will still face two Soul Masters above Level Thirty."

Dai Mubai immediately felt somewhat nervous upon hearing this, but Zhao Zilong said with complete confidence, "Master, that's where you're wrong. How can a man say he can't do it? Especially in front of girls. Since I've already said it, even if I have to grit my teeth, I'll lead Rongrong to victory."

"That's right, how can a man say he can't do it?" Dai Mubai was pumped up as well.

Xiao Wu looked at Zhao Zilong with faint disdain in her eyes. "Everyone here is older than you, alright? You're the youngest little brother."

Zhao Zilong teased Xiao Wu, "Little rabbit, that sounds a little off to me. Shouldn't your nickname be Rascal Rabbit?"

"What Rascal Rabbit? I don't want that kind of nickname!" Xiao Wu protested.

Yu Xiaogang spoke again. "Alright, next I'll go over your nicknames. Dai Mubai will be the Evil Golden Eyed White Tiger. Oscar will be Sausage Specialist. Xiao Wu will be the Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit. Ma Hongjun will be the Evil Fire Phoenix. Zhu Zhuqing will use the name of her martial soul, Hell Spirit Cat. Ning Rongrong will be the same, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile. Meng Yiran will be the Black Mamba Demon Snake. As for Xiao San and Zilong, both of you have Blue Silver Grass martial souls. Xiao San will be Thousand Hand Silver Grass, and Zilong will be Blue Silver Radiance. What do you think?"

The others exchanged glances and had no objections. Xiao Wu, however, said, "That Silver Grass thing isn't cool at all. It sounds awful."

Ning Rongrong also said, "Blue Silver Radiance doesn't suit Zilong either. Although his first Soul Skill does make the Blue Silver Grass leaves float beautifully, that name is a little too poetic, isn't it? Besides, all his Soul Skills use poison. The name doesn't suit him at all."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and Zhao Zilong. "What do you two think?"

Zhao Zilong said, "Tang San should be called Thousand Hand Asura. As for me, I can be called the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Blue Silver Emperor?" Meng Yiran repeated the name softly.

A smile curved Zhao Zilong's lips. "That's right. The emperor among Blue Silver Grass."
