Rotating Teams? Su Bai Spreads His Favor!

Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.

This building occupied an extremely vast area. Its overall shape was a massive oval, its height exceeding a hundred meters, and in the night it was like a towering beast, overlooking all of Suotuo City.

When Flender and Zhao Wuji arrived with Su Bai and the others, they were immediately surrounded by the scene before them.

Countless lights illuminated the inside and outside of the Spirit Arena as brightly as day, and the roar of voices gathered into a wave of heat that rushed toward them.

Innumerable Spirit Masters and ordinary spectators streamed in and out of the entrance, excitement and anticipation on every face.

Flender stopped and turned to face this group of freshmen who had come here for the first time.

"This is the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena. It will also be your practical combat training ground for quite a long time to come."

"Here, you can take part in one-on-one, two-on-two, or team battles. If you win, not only will you receive Gold Soul Coin rewards, you can also raise the level of your Spirit Fighting Badge and earn honor."

"More importantly, aside from true life-and-death situations, this is the place that can best temper your practical combat ability."

After Flender finished speaking, he led everyone toward the registration desk.

The formation of the group was clearly divided.

Su Bai walked in the very middle. On his left was Xiao Wu, affectionately holding his arm; on his right was Ning Rongrong, unwilling to be outdone as she pressed tightly against him.

Zhu Zhuqing did not take the initiative like the two of them. She merely followed quietly behind the three of them, but that distance just happened to place her within Su Bai's little circle.

On the other side beside them were Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

The atmosphere was somewhat stifling.

Tang San's attention never left Xiao Wu.

Watching her lean so naturally against Su Bai, her face wearing a contented smile he had never seen before, Tang San felt as if his heart were being clenched tightly by an invisible hand.

Dai Mubai's situation was similar to Tang San's.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing walking behind Su Bai—the fiancée who should have belonged to him—now following behind another man like a follower.

The humiliating scene from that morning surfaced again, and the hand at his side clenched unconsciously before powerlessly loosening again.

Oscar glanced toward Ning Rongrong from time to time, then let out a heavy sigh.

He knew that between himself and that little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there was already an insurmountable wall, and the name of that wall was Su Bai.

Only Ma Hongjun had his neck tucked in and did not dare look toward the girls at all.

After witnessing Tang San's and Dai Mubai's miserable states, he now felt reverence for Su Bai from the bottom of his heart.

Su Bai was too fierce. He could not afford to provoke him.

Flender briefly introduced the rules of the Spirit Arena at the registration desk.

"The eight of you can be divided perfectly into four two-on-two groups, or enter a seven-person team battle, though you'd still need substitutes."

"But this is your first time here, and your teamwork is unfamiliar, so start with one-on-one Gambling Matches first. Get used to the atmosphere here."

"As for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, find your own teammates for two-on-two."

Flender arranged it just like that.

When Ning Rongrong heard this, she immediately turned and hugged Su Bai's arm, practically hanging herself off him.

"Brother Su Bai, will you accompany me for two-on-two?"

She shook Su Bai's arm, her voice sweet and soft.

"The dean said we need to train our practical combat ability. How am I supposed to train by myself?"

Her coquettish appearance made Oscar's heart shatter beside her.

"No!"

Unwilling to show weakness, Xiao Wu also hugged Su Bai's other arm tightly.

"Brother Su Bai has to accompany me! We're the ones together!"

The two girls stood on his left and right like they were playing tug-of-war, sandwiching Su Bai in the middle.

"All right, all right."

Su Bai placed a hand on each of them and lightly patted their perky bottoms.

"What's the rush?"

Su Bai spoke unhurriedly.

"We'll have plenty of time to come here in the future. Today I'll accompany Rongrong, next time I'll accompany you, and the time after that I'll accompany Zhuqing. We'll just take turns, won't we?"

Equal favor for all.

That phrase instantly appeared in Ma Hongjun's and Oscar's minds.

Ma Hongjun looked at Su Bai, surrounded by three stunning young girls, and apart from envy, only admiration remained.

When Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong heard this, they exchanged a glance and both saw defiance in the other's reaction. But they could not refute Su Bai's arrangement, so they could only lower their banners for the time being.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was following behind, heard her name, and the corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

"Then it's settled."

Flender waved a hand, too lazy to bother with these youngsters' mess.

"Except for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, everyone else, sign up for a one-on-one Gambling Match!"

He only wanted to hurry up and see how these little monsters performed, especially Su Bai.

He badly wanted to know what astonishing strength this twelve-year-old Level Thirty-five Spirit Elder would display on a real spirit fighting stage.

The one-on-one Gambling Matches soon began.

The people from Shrek Academy were assigned to different spirit fighting stages.

Xiao Wu's opponent was a Level Twenty-seven Power Attack System Spirit Master.

As soon as the fight began, Xiao Wu displayed the excellent flexibility of the Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul, causing her opponent's attacks to miss again and again.

Seizing an opening, Xiao Wu closed in on her opponent, then unleashed a smooth, flowing Eight-Stage Falling Mountain Break, cleanly hurling him out of the arena.

Zhu Zhuqing's fight ended even faster.

Her opponent was also an Agility Attack System, but was only Level Twenty-four.

Zhu Zhuqing's movement technique was already extremely fast. Although she had not learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track during the day, it had still increased her speed slightly, and she moved so quickly that afterimages trailed behind her.

Her First Spirit Ability, Hell Stab, activated. Her opponent only saw a black shadow flash past, and then a shallow claw mark appeared at his throat, announcing the end of the battle.

Even Tang San, whose injuries had yet to heal, won his first match with the subtlety of Mysterious Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, as well as his unexpected Blue Silver Grass.

His face remained expressionless the entire time, as though he were merely completing a task.

By the time it was Su Bai's turn to go onstage, quite a few spectators had already gathered around his spirit fighting stage.

After all, a twelve-year-old youth who was already a Spirit Elder was still very worth watching.

"Next, we have the Level Forty Power Attack System Battle Spirit Master, Su Bai! Against the Level Thirty-nine Power Attack System Battle Spirit Master, Iron Wall!"

The host's voice echoed through the arena.

Su Bai's opponent was a burly man with a massive build. His martial soul was the Armored Rhinoceros, renowned for its defense.

"Kid, seeing as you're young, just admit defeat. That way you won't get hurt later."

Iron Wall spoke in a muffled voice, releasing his martial soul at the same time. Three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose around him, a perfectly standard configuration.

Su Bai could not even be bothered to answer.

He merely lifted his foot and took a gentle step forward.

"First Spirit Ability, Kirin Steps to Heaven!"

A golden fan-shaped shockwave swept forward without the slightest flourish.

Iron Wall's expression changed. He immediately drove his Soul Power, forming a thick earthen-yellow defense in front of him.

However, the instant that golden shockwave struck the defense, the earthen-yellow light shattered as if it were made of paper.

The shockwave's remaining force did not diminish, slamming solidly into Iron Wall's chest.

The burly man did not even let out a grunt before his entire body flew backward, crashing heavily below the spirit fighting stage and passing out.

The entire arena fell silent for an instant.
