Tushan Lingling immediately jumped off the large waterbed, opened the door, and saw the hotel owner, Babitt, standing at the entrance with a slightly anxious expression.

"Something wrong?" Tushan Lingling asked in a flat tone, mimicking her master's words.

Babitt smiled with concern and began his usual translated speech:

"Oh, my god of wealth. Miss Fox Immortal, you are as beautiful and charming as ever.

"I have no business, I just heard some unobservant servants say that you two returned in a hurry.

"I was worried that you two might have encountered some difficulties, so I thought I'd come and share your burdens."

Tushan Lingling waved her hand slightly: "We're fine, no need to be so sensitive."

As she spoke, she prepared to close the door.

Babitt quickly added:

"It's as delightful as tasting Kafu's pastries to know you two are alright.

"However, I heard that when you two went to the auction house, you didn't manage to bid on the items you desired..."

Hearing this, Tushan Lingling's eyes narrowed, and a chill shot towards Babitt's face:

"You were following us!?"

Babitt's face turned pale from the sharp aura, and he quickly waved his hands:

"My beautiful Miss Fox Immortal! You've misunderstood me.

"I only learned this information through a few damn friends at the auction house.

"The reason I brought this up is to tell you both.

"If you're short on money, I have a very good way to make some..."

Hearing this, Tushan Lingling retracted her sharp aura and turned to look at the young man lying on the bed with his legs crossed.

The young man was silent for a moment, then suddenly sat up from the bed, a wide smile on his face as he pointed to the sofa in the room:

"Come in and tell us more."

That night.

The prosperous royal city was brightly lit, and those who enjoyed nightlife began their actions like hungry wolves.

Of course, those who were out and about late at night were mostly wealthy individuals without financial pressure.

The vast majority of ordinary people still had to go to bed on time, then face the dull and repetitive work of the next day, in order to maintain their dull and repetitive lives...

Lin Ziyi and Tushan Lingling, accompanied by Babitt, arrived at the largest Soul Fighting Arena in Barack Royal City – the Luofu Soul Fighting Arena!

Soul Fighting refers to the industry of gambling on the outcomes of Soul Master battles.

Although such an industry was not permitted in Lin Ziyi's previous life's country.

It had already formed a formal and massive industrial chain on the Douluo Continent!

And this Barack Royal City derived nearly thirty percent of its income from the taxes of the Great Soul Arena!

Therefore, the Great Soul Arena was a place where both rulers and Soul Masters could reap huge profits!

The path Babitt introduced to Lin Ziyi was precisely this.

However, it was different from ordinary Soul Fighting.

According to Babitt, in the current one-on-one mode at the Luofu Soul Fighting Arena, a Soul Emperor at level sixty-nine had already achieved over a hundred consecutive victories.

The current odds had reached an astonishing 1:100!

This meant that if someone could defeat this Soul Emperor, the bet placed on that person would immediately be multiplied by a hundred times!

Therefore, there were always some people who gambled on these challengers with a hopeful but unlikely chance, but the result was often losing everything!

Babitt had originally just tried to ask if Lin Ziyi and the other had a way to participate.

After all, Tushan Lingling was a Titled Douluo at level ninety-something, so normally she couldn't compete with a Soul Emperor at level sixty-something.

However, Tushan Lingling said she had a way to fight against him.

Upon receiving such a confident reply, Babitt immediately grinned like a child weighing three hundred jin!

He immediately brought out a lot of money, planning to make a fortune with Lin Ziyi!

Lin Ziyi turned to look at Tushan Lingling. Her fluffy ears and tail had disappeared at this moment.

Without the characteristics of a beast-eared girl, although she had a different charm, Lin Ziyi still felt she lacked a bit of her usual spirit...

His preferences, under the onslaught of various information on the internet in his previous life, had long since become strange.

Fortunately, this was the effect of Tushan Lingling's second Soul Skill, "Fox Illusion Technique."

Otherwise, if her ears and tail were truly gone, Lin Ziyi would have been heartbroken for a long time...

The reason he accepted Babitt's proposal to come here was because the experience at the Meow Meow Auction House made him realize that his more than three hundred Gold Soul Coins were indeed not enough.

If he had more funds, he could have acquired more resources through money from auction houses on the Douluo Continent or elsewhere during the intervals when the System held its auctions.

To become a god as soon as possible, Lin Ziyi couldn't rely solely on the System; his own efforts and actions were also crucial!

Upon entering the Luofu Great Soul Arena, Lin Ziyi noticed that the registration hall was packed with people!

The vast majority of people here were not Soul Masters but gamblers who made a living from betting!

Countless windows corresponded to countless Soul Fights.

Everyone could place bets in advance here, guessing the winner of the next Soul Fight based on the information they had gathered.

Of course, the Soul Arena usually provided a certain payout ratio in advance, allowing the gamblers to choose whether to aim for small, stable profits or to risk it all for a big win!

However, the latter was typically only chosen by those who were desperate or had substantial funds.

The vast majority of rational gamblers would opt for a slow and steady approach, preferring consistent small gains over the occasional large windfall.

After all, Soul Fighting was different from traditional gambling; the apparent disparity in strength was difficult to overcome through luck or willpower.

The first floor was the battleground for Soul Masters and Soul Grand Masters, while the third floor was for Soul Kings and Soul Emperors.

Lin Ziyi and his two companions headed straight for the third floor, their eyes scanning the various windows, and soon found the registration area for one-on-one Soul Fights.

"Hello, I'd like to register for a one-on-one Soul Fight."

Tushan Lingling stood before the counter, holding her voluptuous slime, and looked down at the male attendant behind the window.

Seeing the extremely beautiful woman in front of him looking at him as if he were trash, the male attendant behind the counter immediately became excited. He thought she was rewarding him and quickly nodded:

"Y-yes! No problem! May I ask your name?"

"Tushan Lingling," the little fox didn't deliberately hide her name, as she felt there was no need.

"Okay, please use this crystal ball to verify your strength." The male attendant pointed to a specially made crystal ball by the counter.

This crystal ball was based on a rare Soul-Judging Crystal and personally crafted by a cardinal of the Martial Soul Hall!

It could accurately measure the level of even a Titled Douluo!

Under Babitt's somewhat nervous gaze, Tushan Lingling placed her delicate hand on the crystal ball.

Soon, the number "Sixty-Nine" immediately appeared on the surface of the crystal ball.

Upon seeing this number, the male attendant had no doubts.

Since he started working, this crystal ball had never made a mistake!

He shifted his gaze away from the crystal ball and Tushan Lingling's beautiful fingers.

He completely failed to notice that the characters for "Six" and "Nine" in "Sixty-Nine" had slightly wavered.

"Registration complete. You will participate in the sixth Soul Fight tonight..."

Before the male attendant could finish speaking, Tushan Lingling suddenly asked:

"I heard that the Great Soul Arena has a Soul Emperor named Ye Zhiyuan who has a winning streak. Does the Arena allow others to challenge him?"

The male attendant was slightly stunned, then nodded with a wry smile. It was clear he had seen many such challenges before.

However, gazing at Tushan Lingling's breathtaking beauty, the male attendant couldn't help but quietly advise:

"Miss, if you trust me, please take my advice and give up on challenging him.

"For reasons that cannot be explained, Ye Zhiyuan is absolutely invincible at the Soul Emperor level!"
