Originally, Xue Wu could have teamed up with Shui Bing'er for two-on-two matches.

That way, Huo Wu would have had the chance to team up with Feng Xiaotian.

But Xue Wu voluntarily withdrew.

Xue Wu and Shui Bing'er had known each other for years. As the captain and vice-captain of the Skywater Team, they shared an extraordinary bond, like sisters.

Perhaps Xue Wu knew what Shui Bing'er was thinking and deliberately stepped aside.

Huo Wushuang suddenly said,

"Our Fire Attribute and Water Attribute counter each other. I should team up with Huo Wu instead."

"That's true. Then Sister Bing'er can only team up with Brother Tian."

"I have no problem with that."

Feng Xiaotian readily picked up where Xue Wu left off.

Shui Bing'er also nodded with a smile, showing her agreement.

Feng Lieyang smiled.

"That is a fairly reasonable arrangement. Yue'er, do you want to team up with Xiao Luo?"

Shui Yue'er shook her head.

"Grandpa Feng, I want to take part in more one-on-one matches and improve my actual combat skills as quickly as possible, so I won't hold the team back in group battles."

"Good! You're such a motivated girl."

In truth, Shui Yue'er also wanted to join Feng Xiaotian in two-on-two matches.

However, they were not at the same level, so they could not form a team for the time being.

They could only fight together in group battles.

As they chatted, they arrived at the entrance to the Soul Fighting Arena.

The Suo Tuo Great Spirit Arena was quite spacious. Inside, it was divided into one Main Soul Fighting Arena and twenty-four subsidiary Soul Fighting Arenas, capable of holding sixty thousand spectators at the same time.

Feng Lieyang led everyone into the Soul Fighting Arena. Pointing at a stone monument in the center of the hall, he said,

"Many names of the dead are recorded on that. In your future matches, you must remain vigilant at all times."

"Mm, we understand."

Only then did Shui Yue'er realize that this was not a place for fun.

Next, Feng Lieyang pointed to the registration desk and explained the Great Soul Arena's Soul Master registration rules, related fees, and so on.

After listening, everyone was excited and eager to give it a try.

Feng Lieyang laughed.

"I know what you little brats are thinking, but not tonight. You've traveled a long way, so after we return, you need to rest and adjust yourselves properly. I'll bring you here to register tomorrow night. Tonight, we'll be spectators first."

Feng Lieyang bought eight tickets and led everyone into the Soul Fighting area.

The various arenas and match types in the Soul Fighting area were divided in great detail.

Ticket prices also varied between sections. The more exciting the match, the more expensive the ticket.

Before the matches began, Feng Xiaotian and the others found seats and sat down.

Feng Lieyang explained the fighting rules to them in detail. There were one-on-one matches, two-on-two matches, and group battles.

According to the rules, if one had sufficient stamina, one could participate in up to three matches in a single night.

However, most Soul Masters could not manage that. After all, Soul Power was limited, and restoring depleted Soul Power required time.

Feng Xiaotian said confidently,

"I'll find a chance to try it."

"Brother Tian, are you really going to try?"

Everyone looked at Feng Xiaotian, somewhat surprised.

With the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, the Soul Power Feng Xiaotian expended in battle recovered much faster than that of ordinary Soul Masters.

That was still when the Nine Yang Divine Skill had not yet been fully mastered.

If he broke through the ninth level and mastered it completely, recovering Soul Power would become even easier.

Feng Lieyang reminded him,

"Xiaotian, you and Bing'er are a two-person team. If you fight three matches in one day, Bing'er will have to fight at least two as well. Can she handle that?"

Shui Bing'er smiled and answered without yielding,

"Grandpa Feng, it's only two matches. I have no problem at all, so you needn't worry."

"Is that so? You look gentle, girl, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. Haha~"

Feng Lieyang understood Feng Xiaotian's strength.

He believed that if all his opponents were at the same level, Feng Xiaotian could try taking part in three matches in one night.

After all, Feng Xiaotian's Soul Power had already reached level 45.

Under heavy pressure, it was easier to achieve a breakthrough.

He wanted to see where Feng Xiaotian's limit lay.

After watching several matches in the Soul Fighting area, they found that most of the competitors were below Soul Sect level. It was a bunch of weaklings pecking at each other, and rather boring.

Feng Lieyang bought another eight tickets and led Feng Xiaotian and the others to the combat-type subsidiary arena section to watch two-on-two matches.

The two-on-two matches were clearly more exciting.

Most two-person teams had fairly good coordination.

Watching such matches often yielded greater gains.

During the matches, Feng Lieyang said to everyone,

"At the beginning, as newcomers, you can only compete in the subsidiary Soul Fighting Arenas. Only after meeting the requirements will you be qualified to compete in the Main Soul Fighting Arena."

Shui Yue'er asked,

"Grandpa Feng, does that mean the Soul Masters in the Main Soul Fighting Arena are all quite formidable?"

"Of course. They fought their way out from among Soul Masters of the same level through their own strength."

Feng Xiaotian and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, understanding each other without words.

The Soul Master teams in the Main Soul Fighting Arena were clearly stronger and more challenging.

To compete there, they would need to earn more points and obtain at least a Silver Spirit Badge first.

This would be the goal of the two of them from now on.

Unwilling to be outdone, Huo Wu clenched her fists, her gaze firm.

"Brother, starting tomorrow, we need to work hard too and strive to enter the Main Soul Fighting Arena as soon as possible!"

(PS: There will not be much written about the Soul Fighting Arena. After a few matches, one or two months will be glossed over.)
