Berserker Team, Bai Ge Takes on Seven Alone (Part 1)

Grandmaster led everyone to the Soto Great Spirit Arena.

Flander had actually brought everyone here before, but Bai Ge had not participated.

Even before he fused with Tian Ce's memories, this had looked like children playing house to him.

Let alone after fusing with Tian Ce's memories.

Here, spirit battles were divided into three categories. One was sparring, where opponents competed against each other and were forbidden from being ruthless or killing anyone.

Another was a Life and Death Battle, used to settle irreconcilable disputes.

The last was a wager battle. The Great Spirit Arena acted as referee, and both sides in the wager sent out the same number of Spirit Masters to compete. The final winner would receive everything laid out in the wager.

Wager battles were first and foremost Life and Death Battles.

When many nobles and clans developed enormous conflicts with one another, they often used this method.

The competition formats also came in three types: one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles.

For team battles, the number of participants on each side was decided through negotiation. According to the Great Spirit Arena's rules, it was generally between seven and ten people.

Bai Ge's role this time was to anchor the team battle!

The team name had also been registered—

Shrek Eight Devils.

And ten thousand years later, the Shrek Eight Devils became the Shrek Seven Devils, along with this legend—

"The Shrek Seven Devils actually had eight members.

Seven Devils and one King. If anyone could defeat the first seven monsters, then congratulations—the final great demon king would appear and, in the most despair-inducing manner, cast you into the abyss!

The only ones capable of opposing him were the successive chief disciples of the Martial God Hall, which had evolved from the Spirit Hall of old!"

Back to the matter at hand, the Great Spirit Arena's spirit battles were all held at night. After arriving in Suotuo City, the group chose the most luxurious hotel near the Great Spirit Arena and checked in.

Grandmaster had originally planned to find an ordinary hotel and make do, but Bai Ge unexpectedly paid for everyone and covered all their expenses.

This was the extravagance and confidence of a man whose daily system check-in guaranteed an additional ten thousand Gold Spirit Coins, on top of Points and all kinds of treasures!

With money in hand, there was no panic in his heart.

To Bai Ge, Gold Spirit Coins were merely numbers on a card.

Bai Ge even had the leisure to tease Dai Mubai. "Big White, have you handed your card over to Zhuqing yet?

I'm telling you, Eighth Sister, you really need to keep a close eye on your man. Giving him ten or eight coins a month as pocket money is enough."

That was right. Bai Ge had been lucky. When they had compared ages before, he had used the date Qian Renxue picked him up and counted six years backward.

He happened to be one day older than Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai's face turned green.

But with no other choice, he obediently handed it over.

To get back at him, Dai Mubai likewise turned his sights on Bai Ge.

But who would have thought that Ning Rongrong had no interest in money and said she did not care.

As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, if all the money were handed over to Xiao Wu, heh, Tang San would probably turn from the Tang Sect into the Beggars' Sect in less than three days.

Xiao Wu knew that herself, so she said it was only natural for a younger sister to listen to her older brother.

Fatty and Oscar were still single dogs, so no one was there to manage them.

After everyone messed around for a while, Grandmaster took out eight masks.

Without a word, Bai Ge directly donned the Virgo Golden Saint Cloth. With both helmet and mask, he was wrapped up tightly from head to toe.

He then told Grandmaster, "My martial soul comes with all its equipment, so there's no need to trouble yourself."

(The Virgo Golden Saint Cloth has a mask. Shaka and Asmita simply did not wear it.)

Bai Ge sacrificed his comrades to save himself and slipped away, leaving only the other seven to suffer their misfortune.

Then came their respective codenames.

Proud Blood Tian Ce Bai Ge,

Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai,

Sausage Monopoly Oscar,

Surprise Feather Heavenly Net Tang San,

Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun,

Tender Bone Charming Rabbit Xiao Wu,

Seven Colored Divine Light Ning Rongrong,

Netherworld Cat Zhu Zhuqing.

Bai Ge's name came from Eastern Capital Tiance and Proud Blood Battle Intent.

Tang San's suggestion of Proud Blood Heavenly Wolf was rejected by Bai Ge for being far too cringe-worthy.

Tang San was proficient in mechanical hidden weapons and should originally have been Surprise Feather. However, limited by his current circumstances, his fighting relied more on poison and thrown weapons such as flying daggers and Bone Penetrating Needles. This was the fighting style of Tang Sect disciples who specialized in the Heavenly Net Mysterious Path.

Therefore, Surprise Feather came first, symbolizing his previous life, while Heavenly Net came after, signifying this life.

As for Dai Mubai's Thousand-Handed Shura, it was magnificently ignored.

Shura was the kind of name that had been worn out in novels from his previous life. It was far too tacky.

And why had Ning Rongrong's name been changed?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile—wasn't that practically telling everyone outright?

However, to Bai Ge's surprise, changing a few names actually rewarded him with thirty thousand Points.

According to the system, though, these names carried extraordinary significance and were almost equivalent to true names.

Once these names changed, it also meant that their paths of fate would, from this moment onward, gradually head in a direction completely different from the original story.

Night fell.

The Soto Great Spirit Arena repeated the bustle of every night.

Crowds began converging here from all directions.

As the most traditional form of entertainment and the one most beloved by the public, this place welcomed numerous spectators every day.

The wealthy could enjoy themselves to the fullest here, while even ordinary civilians with little money could still watch Spirit Masters compete.

Because the Great Spirit Arena offered special package tickets for civilians at extremely low prices, any citizen who could afford food and clothing was willing to come here to watch Spirit Masters battle.

After all, merely being able to see Spirit Masters was enough to satisfy the vanity of most commoners.

Of course, because they held cheap tickets, all they could watch were ordinary spirit battles.

The truly exciting spirit battles were invariably expensive.

And Suotuo City never lacked wealthy magnates willing to spend lavishly.

Coupled with the betting venues run by the Great Spirit Arena, these spirit battles were also a place where wealthy men and nobles secretly fought against one another.

At this moment, the time for the Great Spirit Arena's routine spirit battles was drawing near.

Before long, the one-on-one and two-on-two preliminary battles would begin.

Once those two events ended, the most exciting team battles would take the stage.

Just then, a group of eleven people drew the attention of the crowd preparing to enter the Great Spirit Arena.

That was because seven of them wore identical masks.

The green masks looked somewhat comical, but their clothing varied greatly.

Some were ornate, while others were plain.

Yet the most eye-catching figure was the last one to enter, walking behind the seven.

Clad in Golden Armor and draped in a snow-white cloak, he was dazzling and resplendent.

This group was none other than the eight students from Shrek Academy, along with the two headmasters and Grandmaster.

Without any suspense, whether it was one-on-one or two-on-two, they won every match. Bai Ge in particular did not even reveal his Spirit Rings; with one punch per opponent, he instantly defeated them all.

Then came the final match of the day: the team battle.
