Arena

Grandmaster mapped out Tang San's future path, then arranged to take him to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to obtain a spirit ring.

After Tang San left, he took the initiative to find Xiao Wu.

He was going with Grandmaster to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a spirit ring. The work-study student job originally assigned to him and Xiao Wu could now only be done by Xiao Wu alone.

Tang San offered to handle the work-study job in the future and give Xiao Wu half his wages in exchange for her helping him shoulder the work for the next few days. Xiao Wu agreed.

Of course, Xiao Wu had more than one condition. She also wanted another fight with Tang San.

During the battle for the position of boss of the Seventh Dormitory, Tang San had simply never expected such a young girl to be so strong, and he had been defeated.

Now, when he sparred with Xiao Wu again, he got serious and ultimately defeated her.

Xiao Wu returned alone, feeling gloomy.

Tang San did not know how to comfort Xiao Wu and could only follow behind her.

The next day, Tang San got up early and went to find Grandmaster.

The master and disciple rented a carriage and headed for the Soul Hunting Forest in the northeastern region of Nuoding City.

Along the way, Grandmaster explained more knowledge about spirit beasts to Tang San.

Tang San listened with great interest, and his horizons broadened immensely.

Three days later.

Grandmaster and Tang San arrived at a small town outside the Soul Hunting Forest.

This town had sprung up because of the Soul Hunting Forest.

Everyone in the town was a Soul Master.

A Spirit Master who had cultivated to level 10 had to enter the Soul Hunting Forest and hunt spirit beasts if they wanted to obtain a spirit ring.

However, a level 10 Spirit Master was far too weak to be a match for spirit beasts.

To obtain the spirit ring they wanted, they had to form a team and enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

Grandmaster did not look for a team. He brought Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest alone.

The Sky Screen, which had been playing until now, suddenly went dark.

It seemed that today's viewing was about to end.

"Well then, it's finally ending. Will there be another preview quiz for the next episode?" Lin Xianyu rubbed her slightly sore neck and muttered curiously.

Although she was the host of the Sky Screen System, the Sky Screen System did not listen to her. She did not know whether it would hold another preview quiz for the next episode.

In any case, as long as a Prize Quiz appeared, she would definitely be able to gain something from it.

Last time, she had obtained the "Mysterious Heaven Skill," the exclusive cheat of the future Tang God King.

With the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as long as she persisted in cultivating, she would definitely have Innate Full Soul Power when she awakened her martial soul at the age of six.

Even if one's Innate Soul Power was zero, long-term cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill could still produce Soul Power.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill was simply a cheat-level cultivation method for Soul Masters.

It was far stronger than the existing Soul Master cultivation methods on Douluo Continent.

Unfortunately, with a cheat like the Sky Screen System, Lin Xianyu was too lazy to cultivate. She planned to lie flat until she reached level 100 and became a god.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi stretched his neck, then looked at the dark Sky Screen again. "It hasn't disappeared yet. Will there be a Prize Quiz?"

Today's Sky Screen viewing had once again been stretched to its limit.

Ning Fengzhi had learned more about the future—the second son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's clan leader had Innate Soul Power of 0.5, yet he had unexpectedly become a theoretical Grandmaster in the future.

Although this theoretical Grandmaster had become a joke, being able to achieve such fame showed that he had worked hard.

But why was he not in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Why was he living alone at Nuoding Academy...

An elementary Soul Master Academy in Nuoding City, ordinary beyond compare. That made it seem abnormal.

Ning Fengzhi even suspected that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was gone.

Only if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had fallen would the second son of that Title Douluo clan leader have lost his favorable treatment and ended up living at Nuoding Elementary Soul Master Academy.

Clear Sky Sect.

After the Sky Screen viewing ended, the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were also preparing to leave.

The older generation of the Clear Sky Sect had placed great hopes on them.

If the Sky Screen had not suddenly appeared, they would certainly have been cultivating right now, with no time to rest.

Once the Sky Screen viewing ended, their rest time was over as well. It was time to go back and continue working hard!

"Hao, we should go back and cultivate," Tang Xiao said.

"Wait, Brother, look—the Sky Screen has changed!" Tang Hao glanced up at the Sky Screen and saw new words appear upon it.

Arena!

Those three words were exceptionally eye-catching on the Sky Screen!

Holy Spirit Village.

Villager A: "What is an Arena?"

Villager B: "Why isn't it a Prize Quiz? I wanted to earn another Gold Soul Coin!"

Villager C: "Arena? I heard about something like it when I went to Nuoding City to sell vegetables. Big cities have spirit fighting arenas. Could this so-called Arena be a spirit fighting arena?"

It was not only the villagers of Holy Spirit Village who mistook the Arena for the traditional spirit fighting arenas of Douluo Continent.

Even knowledgeable Soul Masters thought the same.

"The Sky Screen has another new function? Wasn't it only for viewing? Why has an Arena suddenly appeared now?"

Lin Xianyu was confused too.

As the host of the Sky Screen System, she did not even know what functions the Sky Screen System had.

Sigh, she really was too useless.

Lin Xianyu: I'm so useless. I've really let everyone down!

The Sky Screen quickly displayed the rules of the Arena.

The Arena had currently opened Single Challenge Mode.

The Stage Boss of the first stage was Tang San of Holy Spirit Village, aged six. Defeat Tang San to unlock the next stage.

Challenge Instructions:

1. The challenger's physical condition would be equal to that of the Stage Boss.

2. Stages were divided into Easy, Hard, and Hell difficulties.

3. The first person to clear a stage would receive a generous reward. Rewards would be distributed according to the difficulty cleared, with the highest reward being a God-bestowed Spirit Ring.

After seeing the information conveyed by the Sky Screen, some bold people on Douluo Continent immediately began the challenge.

An unknown nobody, after confirming that he wanted to begin the challenge, ignored Easy Mode and chose Hell Mode right away. He appeared in a space created by the Sky Screen.

Within this space, apart from himself—returned to the body of a six-year-old with Innate Full Soul Power but no spirit ring—there was only Tang San.

He had to defeat Tang San, the Stage Boss.

He had thought he could defeat Tang San with his extensive battle experience.

However, even though he was a Soul Saint, after the Sky Screen adjusted him to the physical condition of a six-year-old, he only had Innate Full Soul Power and could not even release a Spirit Ability.

Against Tang San, whose Mysterious Heaven Skill had reached its bottleneck, whose Mysterious Jade Hand had reached mastery, whose Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track had also reached mastery, and whose Purple Demon Eye had reached minor mastery...

Let alone a Soul Saint with the physical condition of a six-year-old, even a Soul Master with a spirit ring might not necessarily be able to defeat Tang San.

After all, aside from cultivating the martial arts of the Tang Sect, Tang San could also use Tang Sect hidden weapons.

These were hidden weapons capable of making gods bleed!

The first challenger lost miserably. Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to close in, then struck with Mysterious Jade Hand and directly snapped his neck.

Tang San had not even used hidden weapons.

The Soul Saint who had failed the challenge was unwilling to accept it and wanted to try again, but the Sky Screen informed him that each person could only challenge once.

There was not even an option to pay money for more attempts.

Holy Spirit Village.

"Even Tang San in Easy Mode is this terrifying. I can't beat him! I can't beat him! There's no way I can beat him!" a villager shouted frantically.

"I was even thinking about being the first to clear it and obtaining the so-called reward. The Sky Screen said that the first to clear it would receive rewards based on difficulty. Maybe it could let an ordinary person like me, who can't cultivate, become a Soul Master?" another villager fantasized.

"Such an incredible Tang San. Even I, a proper Soul Master, can't defeat him..." an outsider Soul Master could not help but sigh.

The Arena created by the Sky Screen System allowed everyone to participate in the challenge. Even ordinary people who could not cultivate could take part.

A six-year-old child had only just awakened their martial soul. They had not cultivated yet and did not know how to use their martial soul in battle.

Yet Tang San, this reincarnated fellow, gave countless people a tremendous shock.

It seemed that no one would be able to clear the stage anytime soon.

Lin Xianyu also joined in the fun and chose Easy Mode.

She was not foolish enough to choose Hell Mode.

In Easy Mode, Tang San would not use his martial soul. He would only use the martial arts he had secretly learned in his previous life to fight.

He would only use Mysterious Jade Hand and would not use Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

In Hard Mode, Tang San would use all the Tang Sect martial arts he had secretly learned in his previous life.

In Hell Mode, Tang San would not only use the Tang Sect martial arts he had secretly learned in his previous life, but also the hidden weapons he had forged.

"Of course the challenge failed. I knew it... There was no way I could succeed."

Lin Xianyu let out a sigh of relief.

Although the challenge had failed, it was not as if she gained nothing.

The Sky Screen System had secretly given her another cheat.

When others failed challenges, they received no rewards. Only the first person to clear a stage could receive a huge reward. Those who cleared it afterward could only receive so-called standard rewards.

Yet even though Lin Xianyu had failed the challenge, she received a reward from the Sky Screen System.

Well then, this was the cheat sent by the Sky Screen System.

After Lin Xianyu failed the challenge, she received level 1 Soul Power from the Sky Screen System.

She did not even need to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and her Soul Power was already soaring. If she worked hard at cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, perhaps she could become a god at level 100 even faster.

"I've gone up another level. I'll reach level 10 soon. I need a spirit ring. The Sky Screen System should send one to me..." Lin Xianyu was not entirely certain.

But she was not worried right now. After all, she had the Sky Screen System.

From the day she awakened her martial soul until today, only half a month had passed—not even a full month—and Lin Xianyu was already about to reach level 5.

After today's viewing ended, her Soul Power would rise another level.

Then, after the next round of viewing ended seven days later, Lin Xianyu should be able to rise to level 10.

At this rate, she would not need even a year to reach level 100 and become a god.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Madam Ning also attempted the challenge, and as expected, she lost to Tang San.

She did not choose Hell Mode, nor did she choose Hard Mode. She chose Easy Mode.

Yet even in Easy Mode, she could not defeat Tang San.

However, Tang San had reincarnated with memories of his previous life and cultivated the martial arts from that life in this one. It was normal that people his age could not defeat him.

Madam Ning herself was only moderately strong. She was not a battle Soul Master, but a Support System Soul Master.

It was understandable that she could not defeat Tang San.

"Fengzhi, I lost. What about you?" Madam Ning asked curiously.

"I lost too." Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter laugh, then asked, "You didn't think I could win, did you?"

"Yes, I did. Fengzhi, you're so amazing. Can't you beat him?" Madam Ning said.

Beauty was in the eye of the beholder.

In Madam Ning's eyes, Ning Fengzhi was the most impressive.

Even though the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was only a support-type martial soul, and Tang San was reincarnated and had cultivated the martial arts of his previous life, Madam Ning still believed Ning Fengzhi could win.

"I've disappointed you. He truly is formidable. Even when I faced him at the same age, I couldn't force him to use his full strength," Ning Fengzhi said regretfully.

When he faced Tang San in Easy Mode, even though Tang San had not used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he still easily defeated Ning Fengzhi.

After all, six-year-old Ning Fengzhi was far too weak. Once Tang San caught up to him, as long as he used Mysterious Jade Hand, Ning Fengzhi would inevitably lose.

To defeat Tang San, one had to achieve at least two things.

First, one had to possess a Self-Created Soul Skill. Second, one needed extensive battle experience.

In Ning Fengzhi's opinion, only the previous-generation Pope of Spirit Hall and the previous-generation sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect could accomplish that at present.

Only those two Ultimate Douluo could defeat Tang San, this abnormal reincarnated individual, at the age of six.

That was indeed the case.

Many Title Douluo, after returning to the age of six, had no way of defeating Tang San.

Only the three Ultimate Douluo—Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi—defeated Tang San in their six-year-old bodies and received rewards issued by the Sky Screen.

The Sky Screen was not as generous to outsiders as it was to Lin Xianyu. The reward it gave merely randomly increased the age of one of their spirit rings, and the increase was not much—only one hundred years.

Whether it was Qian Daoliu, who had abdicated and entered seclusion, Tang Chen, who was outside seeking the inheritance of a divine seat, or Bo Saixi, who was staying on Sea God Island...

All three had successfully cleared the first stage, received the Sky Screen's reward, and felt the age of one of their spirit rings increase.

The Sky Screen's rewards were not fake. The three Ultimate Douluo became even more interested and attempted to open the second stage.

However, they received a prompt that the second stage had not yet opened.

Someone had cleared the first stage first, so some of the original restrictions were lifted. The condition of returning to the age of six remained unchanged, but challengers could now use their first Spirit Ability.

Once Spirit Abilities could be used, the odds of defeating Tang San and clearing the stage rose considerably.

Yet there were still some weak Soul Masters who could not defeat Tang San even after using their first Spirit Ability.

They were either overconfident or careless.

In any case, they ultimately either died beneath Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand or died to Tang San's hidden weapons.

Lin Xianyu had already challenged before and could not continue challenging now. When she continued watching the Sky Screen, she could only see a black screen.

She happened to be tired as well, so she simply went back inside to rest.

As for the Sky Screen?

Once it was tired of playing, it would come back.

Lin Xianyu lay on the bed and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next day, before dawn had even broken, the roosters of Holy Spirit Village began to crow.

Lin Xianyu was woken by the noise. After getting up and washing her face, she randomly picked a lucky household to go eat breakfast at.
