Underground Deathmatch in Heaven Dou City

"Ki... kissed?"

The last three words were practically screamed by Ning Rongrong.

Her voice was filled with shock and curiosity, and even an indescribable... excitement?

She looked at the charmingly smiling Dugu Yan, then at the expressionless Zhu Zhuqing beside her.

Ning Rongrong felt as if she had discovered a new continent.

Oh my god, so this was how the Hidden Quest was triggered. This was simply outrageous.

This notebook did not look like any decent notebook.

Dugu Yan laughed so hard her body trembled. The arm around Ning Rongrong's waist tightened as she leaned closer. "That's right. Zhuqing kissed him too. If Rongrong gives him a kiss, all your Soul Rings will gain a Thousand years of Lifespan. What do you think?"

"Oh my god! You... you're just... too..." Ning Rongrong felt like her mind was in chaos. Her cheeks burned red, and her heart was pounding wildly.

After the shock faded, an indescribable mix of envy, shyness, and a strange unwillingness to lose welled up within her.

"What do you think? Our Young Miss Rongrong, do you want to... give it a try too?"

"Yanyan Sister! Wh-what nonsense are you saying?!"

Over the next few days, Xu Fan rested.

He also gave Dugu Yan a Youth Preserving Pill.

After Dugu Yan consumed it, there were still slight visible changes. At the very least, her skin had become much more hydrated.

Mm... I've rested for several days. It's time to get moving. I want to visit the Soul Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City.

But my Soul Ring Configuration is no longer ordinary. All three Soul Rings have reached Ten Thousand Years. If I fight with a configuration like that, it'll definitely cause a huge stir.

But even without using my martial soul, my combat strength probably isn't something an ordinary Soul Elder can withstand.

I can go give it a try. I just wonder if there's some kind of hidden Soul Fighting Arena where I won't be exposed.

These past few days have been really comfortable. Yanyan, Rongrong, and Zhuqing are all living here, and Lingling comes by from time to time. How long has it been since I last enjoyed a life like this?

When The women saw Xu Fan's message,

they quickened their pace on the road.

After all, there were already four people in his home. If they waited any longer, there might be many more. Forget eating meat—they might not even get a sip of soup.

"Yanyan," Xu Fan called out.

Dugu Yan slowly walked over. "What is it?"

After taking the Youth Preserving Pill, she had become increasingly smooth and radiant.

The relationships between them had also advanced rapidly.

Xu Fan told Dugu Yan about his idea.

Dugu Yan replied, "The kind of Soul Fighting Arena you want does exist, but it isn't called a Soul Fighting Arena. It's called a Black Fight, or a deathmatch. These fights are usually held in the shadows. They're shameful dealings that cannot see the light of day."

"That's what they say, but many of them are actually organized by nobles. There, two Soul Masters can fight without anyone watching. That is your right."

"Won't anyone secretly watch?" Xu Fan asked.

Dugu Yan smiled. "They used to. But I heard they offended some important figure, who came knocking and beat them up, so they became extremely strict afterward. No one has dared to do that again. After all, the person standing across from you might have a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo backing them."

Xu Fan laughed. He had not expected that.

"Then let's go there."

"Alright!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing caught up as well, ready to go with them.

They did not plan on taking on any challenges themselves. It was enough just to follow Xu Fan.

Dugu Yan was clearly very familiar with certain hidden sides of Heaven Dou City.

She led Xu Fan, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong through a maze of twisting alleys and inconspicuous doorways, turning left and right until they finally stopped before an extremely dilapidated abandoned house.

When they pushed open the door, the interior was dim and filled with dust.

Only a burly big man with a face full of flesh and vicious eyes stood guard at the entrance to a narrow staircase leading underground.

When he saw the four people enter, especially the three girls whose beauty and temperaments were each distinct enough to be considered stunning, a lecherous, greedy glint flashed through the big man's eyes. He bared his yellow teeth and teased them maliciously. "Well, isn't this rare? You brought three women to a place like this? Kid, you're living the good life!"

Dugu Yan's gaze instantly turned cold. The Soul Power around her body rippled slightly, and the aura of a Soul Ancestor crashed down on the big man like a massive hammer.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't. Do you want to die?"

The lecherous grin on the big man's face froze instantly, then turned into fear.

He immediately dropped to his knees, heavily banging his forehead against the dust-covered ground. Cold sweat soaked his back as his voice trembled. "S-sorry! My lord! I was blind! I'm sorry! Please come in! Please!"

The big man had seen his share of the world, but among those who came here, Soul Ancestors were already among the strongest Soul Masters.

He himself was only an ordinary Soul Grandmaster.

Dugu Yan did not even spare him a glance as she walked straight past him, leading Xu Fan and the other two down the stairs.

But at the instant she passed him, a wisp of colorless, odorless Dark green aura slipped silently from her fingertips into the skin of the big man's neck.

This was Dugu Yan's poison, though it would not flare up until a few days later.

Did he really think Dugu Yan was some kind of good person?

Her grandfather was the Poison Douluo. Could the granddaughter raised by the Poison Douluo possibly have the temperament of a normal person?

Dugu Yan had never shown mercy toward scum who could not control their eyes or mouths.

As they descended the steep staircase, the air gradually became murky and stifling.

The smell of blood also grew stronger and stronger.

Once they reached the underground level, their view suddenly opened up. It was a massive underground space.

It was lit reasonably well by crude lamps and torches.

Quite a few Soul Masters had gathered here, most of them Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders, with the occasional Soul Ancestor among them.

Most leaned against the walls to rest or spoke in low voices.

Some cast vicious looks at the newcomers.

When Dugu Yan appeared with the other three, countless gazes immediately focused on them.

The beauty of the three girls shone like pearls in this place.

They inevitably drew countless greedy, lecherous, and ill-intentioned stares.

Yet not a single person dared to truly step forward to provoke or strike up a conversation.

Those who came to a place like this were either desperate criminals or people with deep backgrounds seeking excitement or training.

From their appearances and bearing alone, these people were clearly not ordinary.

Looking was enough. No fool would go provoke them.

The people who survived here might be greedy, but they valued their lives even more and knew how to read the situation.

Passing through the crowded, noisy throng, the four arrived at a relatively secluded area.

A crude Registration Desk had been set up there, behind which sat a scar-faced Old Man with an indifferent expression.

"Register him." Dugu Yan pointed directly at Xu Fan, her words brief and to the point.

The registration process was unexpectedly simple and fast.

They merely checked his Soul Power Level before tossing him a rough form.

He only needed to fill in his Code Name, Soul Power, and the type of match he wanted to enter.

They did not verify identities or ask about backgrounds. Paying the registration fee was enough.
