Sea God Island's Eyes and Ears
Watching Soul Fighting is the only opportunity for Ordinary Person to have close contact with Soul Master.
It's important to understand that Soul Master on the mainland are all arrogant; they look down on Ordinary Person, and Ordinary Person feel they are not good enough for them. Of course, there are no such rules in the Soul Fighting Arena; Ordinary Person can watch Soul Master fight as long as they pay money.
The Shipyard that organized this Arena Match wanted to attract Ordinary Person to watch the Soul Fighting for free in order to achieve a publicity effect.
Although Soul Tool are rare, in a place like Vast Sea City, they are somewhat impractical.
Sea Spirit Master possess excellent swimming skills and can go to sea without a boat. Most fishermen, on the other hand, are Ordinary Person who cannot use Spirit Guiding Ship.
Therefore, small boats like the Soul Tool Speedboat are not valuable in themselves.
Speedboats are small and can be capsized by a single wave, making them far inferior to lifeboats.
Besides, they have their own rules, and the prize might not even be awarded.
The Shipyard's target customers are ordinary fishermen who want to own private boats, Arena Soul Fighting to the appetites of potential customers.
The rules of the Arena are simple: the winner defends the title, and if a player wins ten consecutive matches, they win the grand prize— Soul Tool Speedboat.
Starting with a six-game winning streak, there will be rewards afterward, but it's just a matter of how many Gold Soul Coin you get.
Qiangu Changkong squeezed through the crowd, arrived at the registration area, and shouted, "I want to register!"
The citizens of Vast Sea City, exposed to the wind and sun year-round, have dark, dry skin. But Qiangu Changkong's appearance stands out from the crowd.
Although his skin wasn't as smooth as Wu Qi's, it was still much better than that of fishermen who often did manual labor.
"Young man, you must be from the mainland. Our Soul Fighting rules are different from those on the mainland, and the Arena is different too. Would you like to take another look?"
The Qiangu Changkong had long since devised a countermeasure, so there was no reason for it to back down.
"No need, I'm Soul Master too. And since no one else is going up to the Arena right now, you can't just not let me compete, can you?"
There's no reason to prevent others from entering the Arena, which has been set up under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The person in charge of registration was merely offering a well-intentioned reminder.
Soon, Qiangu Changkong completed his registration and entered the Arena amidst cheers from the crowd.
The burly man on the Arena has already achieved five consecutive victories. If he wins against Qiangu Changkong, he will at least receive a reward of one hundred Gold Soul Coin.
The tournament organizers certainly didn't want the prize money to be taken away so easily. However, since Qiangu Changkong insisted on participating, they couldn't stop him. They could only hope that the man would leave after getting one hundred Gold Soul Coin, or that Qiangu Changkong would break his winning streak.
After all, this is just a publicity Arena. If we can achieve the publicity effect without spending a penny, that would naturally be good.
The Arena was a large pool of water, and Qiangu Changkong sat on the edge without going into the water.
The man's Martial Soul is a strangely shaped fish. When the Martial Soul Possession, his lower body transforms into a fish tail, allowing him to float freely on the water's surface.
"Hey kid, the competition's about to start, aren't you going to get in the water?"
Land Spirit Master are almost entirely unsuitable for swimming. Even if Land Spirit Master is of a higher level than Sea Spirit Master, the outcome of an underwater battle is far from certain.
Conversely, in land battles, Sea Spirit Master are no match for Land Spirit Master.
Qiangu Changkong was no fool to become Soul Douluo; he understood the principle of playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.
He then took out a long metal rod from his Soul Tool.
The training staff used Qiangu Changkong has undergone several iterations and upgrades, and now it is a Silver Sinker Staff personally crafted by Lou Gao.
The hardness of the Sinking Silver is such that it can still be used even at the Super Douluo stage.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but ask, "Young man, this isn't your Martial Soul, is it? If you don't fight with your Martial Soul, do you think my Soul King strength is just for show?"
A smile appeared on Qiangu Changkong Kong's lips. He casually tossed the long staff into the air, then it crashed down like Meteorite.
The powerful surge stirred up all the seawater in the pool, giving the audience a free swim in the sea.
In an instant, only a tiny bit of seawater remained in the pool, barely reaching ankle level.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Qiangu Changkong Kong retrieved the Silver Sinker Staff from his hand. He smiled faintly and asked, "The annoying seawater is gone; now we can have a proper fight."
The man's expression was solemn.
Having become Soul King powerhouse, he gained a profound understanding of the strength of Soul Master.
Even if the Qiangu Changkong before us doesn't have a high Soul Power Level, its mastery of the staff is definitely no weaker than some Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint.
Without seawater, the advantages of the Sea Spirit Master cannot be utilized, but similarly, Qiangu Changkong did not use his Martial Soul, the situation remained even.
The organizers of the Arena were overjoyed to see this.
By breaking that man's winning streak, they wouldn't need to spend any more Gold Soul Coin.
The match began, and the man took the lead by using his Soul Skill to launch an attack. Qiangu Changkong Kong remained calm and was not intimidated at all. He wielded his Sinking Silver Staff swiftly and easily repelled the man.
As Qiangu Changkong's good brother, Wu Qi clearly felt that Qiangu Changkong's strength had improved a lot since then.
In particular, the destructive power of a top-tier heavy Martial Soul like the Coiling Dragon Staff increases exponentially after reaching a high level.
On the battlefield, once the Coiling Dragon Staff falls, any city wall will crumble.
Qiangu Changkong on the Arena didn't rush to end the match; instead, he began to give pointers to the man.
While watching the battle, Wu Qi also kept an eye on the surrounding movements.
With his Spiritual Power, he could see everything that happened in Vast Sea City if he wanted to.
But he wouldn't do that unless there was a reason. There are so many people in the city, creating a huge amount of information, and processing all that information would be extremely energy-consuming.
Just now, he only used his senses slightly and heard something extraordinary.
The two managers of the Arena Host Shipyard mentioned Sea God Island while chatting in hushed tones.
Driven by curiosity, Wu Qi quietly released his spiritual perception to probe the conversation between the two.
A well-to-do, richly dressed middle-aged man whispered, "I heard that two successors to the Sacred Pillar Douluo have appeared on the island, along with a Red Level Examiner."
The young man beside him seemed unfazed. "Father," he said, "It's just a change of Contact. I've already prepared the next batch of supplies. When should I arrange for someone to deliver them?"
It's currently fishing season, and most boats have already gone to sea. Only the Chai Family's boats and some large boats owned by private individuals remain docked in the port.
They certainly couldn't trust individual boats, so they wanted to send supplies to Sea God Island through the Chai Family.
Without a doubt, this Shipyard is Sea God Island's spy in Vast Sea City.
That makes sense. Sea God Island is isolated overseas and lacks resources. To maintain its large population, it would be necessary to transport supplies from the outside world.
The Shipyard's Former Employer was an agent they had supported.
