Effort Determines Outcome, Don't Blame Fate

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group headed towards the Outer Court's Battle Soul Arena. Coincidentally, Moyuan spent almost his entire first day of school at the Battle Soul Arena.

On the way to the Battle Soul Arena, Tang Ya kept glancing at Moyuan and Han Ruoruo with curiosity. After holding back for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Moyuan, how do you know Senior Sister Han? And I remember you came to the academy with Ning Tian and Wu Feng. Where are they?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately perked up his ears to listen.

"They went to Shrek City on business," Moyuan decided not to answer the first question. After all, he couldn't possibly explain everything from when he met Ma Xiaotao yesterday until now; it would be too troublesome.

Seeing that Moyuan didn't intend to elaborate, Tang Ya felt a bit disappointed but didn't press further. While she could be a bit scatterbrained, she wasn't an idiot.

It would be too off-putting to keep prying when someone clearly didn't want to talk about it.

"Ning Tian, Wu Feng?" Han Ruoruo softly repeated their names, a thoughtful expression on her face. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Moyuan beside her and said with a playful smile, "It seems Junior Brother has quite the popularity with the opposite sex. Even the young lady from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan is inevitably attracted to you. Well, with your appearance and talent, it would be strange if you weren't sought after."

"Can't be helped, sometimes being too outstanding isn't a good thing," Moyuan made a lighthearted joke.

Hearing this, Han Ruoruo couldn't help but chuckle, a captivatingly beautiful smile gracing her face. Her eyes curved into lovely crescents. Suddenly, she asked curiously, "By the way, Junior Brother, are you dating anyone?"

"No."

Moyuan turned his head. Under the soft glow of the soul guide lamps, Han Ruoruo's skin was like smooth jade, and her features were as exquisite and beautiful as a painting.

"What about you, Senior Sister?"

"Me?"

Han Ruoruo pointed to herself, then shook her head. "Like you, Senior Sister isn't either."

"In that case, Senior Sister Tang Ya is ahead of us on the path of love."

"Heh heh! Of course!" Tang Ya recalled Beibei's figure in her mind, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

"But with how outstanding Junior Brother Moyuan and Senior Sister Han are, you'll definitely find your destined partner in the near future!"

After speaking, Tang Ya seemed to remember something and looked at Huo Yuhao, who had been silent beside her. "Of course! Yuhao will too!"

Huo Yuhao just smiled and didn't say anything. He looked at Moyuan in front of him, then down at himself, and let out a silent, self-deprecating sigh.

Moyuan and the others were outstanding, even perfect, in every way. What about him?

If it weren't for the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm constantly giving him confidence and backing, he might have eventually become twisted in this academy filled with geniuses, no matter how good his mental fortitude was.

Due to the immense fame of the Outer Court's Twin Stars, and amplified by the academy's broadcast over soul guide loudspeakers in the dormitory area, Beibei and Xu Sanshi's soul duel attracted the attention of many students.

Even though the two sparred occasionally, it still drew a large crowd of students, from freshmen in white uniforms to sixth-year students in black uniforms.

However, Han Ruoruo's striking red uniform meant they didn't have to queue, just like before. With the students making way for them, they each paid one silver soul coin and entered the Battle Soul Arena.

Meanwhile, in the lounge.

"Xu Sanshi, tell me the truth. Just how strong is Junior Brother Moyuan?" Beibei impatiently asked Xu Sanshi as soon as he closed the door.

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi was taken aback. "I was just about to ask you. I saw Little Ya and that older brother chatting happily just now. What's your relationship with him?"

As their words fell, they looked at each other. Finally, Beibei quickly thought through the situation and began, "I'll go first. Junior Brother Moyuan, I met him at the registration area during the freshman enrollment yesterday. He came with people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and his tested soul power was level thirty."

Xu Sanshi chuckled. "Level thirty? Beibei, you don't think Brother's strength is only at the Soul Elder level, do you?"

"Why else? Could he be a Soul Ancestor?"

"You actually guessed right, he really is a Soul Ancestor!" Xu Sanshi continued, looking at the astonished Beibei.

"And not just any ordinary Soul Ancestor! His second soul ring is a thousand-year one, and his fourth soul ring is even at the ten-thousand-year level!"

"Holy crap! That's insane!"

Beibei was stunned. He had thought his own talent was top-tier on the continent, only to find out there were even greater experts?!

Seeing Beibei's shocked expression, Xu Sanshi prepared to drop another bombshell.

"You must have seen the anomaly by Sea God Lake last night, right?"

"Yes," Beibei snapped back to reality, a terrifying guess forming in his mind.

"Wait! Are you going to tell me that Moyuan caused that anomaly?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right again, but only half right."

Beibei was confused. "What do you mean, 'half right'?"

Xu Sanshi explained, "It was caused by Moyuan and Senior Sister Xiaotao fighting at Sea God Lake. You might not believe it, but a Soul Ancestor defeated a Soul Emperor. And that Soul Emperor was Ma Xiaotao! It's completely against the natural order!"

Speaking of which, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but shiver as he recalled the terrifying Fire Dragon Roll he had witnessed yesterday.

Beibei fell silent. He knew about the complicated relationship between Xu Sanshi and Ma Xiaotao. Precisely because of that, he knew Xu Sanshi would never dare to slander Ma Xiaotao like this.

Although it was hard to believe, Xu Sanshi saying this meant it was true...

A Soul Ancestor defeating a Soul Emperor was simply outrageous!

"Defying the heavens..."

Beibei held back for a long time before finally managing to utter this comment.

Xu Sanshi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, he's practically a monster among monsters."

Just as the two were marveling at Moyuan's terrifying talent, the referee's voice, transmitted through the soul tools, reached the lounge.

"Both teams, please enter the arena!"

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi and Beibei walked out of the lounge. They passed through a long corridor, and a bright light appeared at the end. At the same time, the noisy clamor of the audience became clearly audible.

Before going on stage, Xu Sanshi turned towards Beibei, who was heading to the other side to enter the arena, and said, "Beibei, if I lose this time, I'll give you the Xuan Water Pill. But if I win, you have to do me a favor."

"What favor?"

"Ask Xiaoya to invite Nannan out two days from now, by Sea God Lake. I have something to tell her," Xu Sanshi recalled the beautiful image of Jiang Nannan in his heart, his face full of tenderness and affection.

Beibei sighed helplessly. This brother was truly beyond saving...

"No problem. Hurry up and get on stage."

"Hahaha, just wait and see how I beat you up!"

The Battle Soul Arena was packed at this moment. As far as the eye could see, it was a dense mass of heads, at least three thousand people.

In the middle section of the stands, Moyuan and the others were seated.

"Teacher Xiaoya, do you think Senior Brother Beibei can win?"

Looking at the thousands of spectators, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After Tang Ya's introduction, he had also learned about the value and contribution of the Xuan Water Pill.

Its ability to increase a soul master's innate soul power by one level made him extremely envious. After all, his innate soul power was only level one, and his usual cultivation was as slow as an old lady running a marathon.

Furthermore, Tang Ya had also said that Beibei was competing with Xu Sanshi precisely to win the Xuan Water Pill for him.

This not only surprised Huo Yuhao immensely but also made him very afraid that Beibei would lose.
