Soros had been expecting to see a change in Jiang Yi's expression, but unfortunately, Jiang Yi's face remained unchanged.
This situation left Soros somewhat passive.
However, the Suotuo Great Soul Arena had already passed its most popular period. The number of spectators coming to watch matches had gradually decreased, and its revenue was far below what it had once been.
Therefore, if he wanted to make the Suotuo Great Soul Arena lively again, he had to introduce a star competitor.
Now that such an ideal candidate stood before him, Soros gritted his teeth and began stating his terms.
"As long as you are willing to become a star competitor of the Suotuo Great Soul Arena, I am willing to raise the prize money for every victory to one hundred gold coins."
"Additionally, we can continuously provide you with cultivation resources and help you hunt Soul Rings."
"I only have one requirement: you must complete ten matches here every week."
Jiang Yi's expression remained calm, but beneath Soros's expectant gaze, he nodded.
"However, I have a condition as well," Jiang Yi said.
"Please, say it," Soros said hurriedly, excited.
Jiang Yi spoke slowly and clearly. "I want the right to challenge opponents above my level."
Soros revealed a stunned expression. He had not expected Jiang Yi to make such a request.
"Challenge above your level? You mean you want to challenge Soul Elders?" Soros asked in disbelief.
After all, Jiang Yi had just fought a Level 29 Spirit Master. Above that would be a Level 30 Soul Elder.
A Level 21 Soul Grandmaster actually wanted to challenge a Soul Elder. He was truly outrageously bold.
Soros frowned. "I cannot agree to that request. I want you to be a star competitor."
"I only intended to arrange Soul Grandmaster-level opponents for you. Fighting Soul Elders involves too many uncertainties."
Jiang Yi smiled. "Supervisor, do you not have faith in my strength?"
"Since it's like this, why not find a Soul Elder to fight me? Wouldn't that settle everything?"
Those confident words made Soros wonder.
Could he truly possess the strength to defeat a Soul Elder? Soros could not help thinking.
He gave Jiang Yi a deep look, then rose directly to his feet.
"I am a Level 38 Soul Elder. As long as you can touch me, I will agree to your request."
"It's a deal." Jiang Yi rose as well, smiling.
"Supervisor, are you ready?" Jiang Yi asked.
Soros nodded calmly, not believing Jiang Yi could pose any threat to him.
No matter how strong a two-ring Soul Grandmaster was, there was no way he could cross three Soul Rings and more than ten levels of Soul Power to touch him.
Whoosh!
A fierce gust swept across Soros's face as a fist rapidly closed in on his cheek.
Soros's eyes widened. Before he could react, the fist had already arrived before his face.
The terrifying pressure made him shut his eyes in fright.
After closing his eyes, the expected pain did not come. That terrifying fist had stopped before him, only a centimeter away.
Soros stared at Jiang Yi in front of him in disbelief. Was this really strength and speed a Soul Grandmaster should possess?
"How was that?" Jiang Yi asked.
Gazing at the fist so close to him, Soros swallowed, then calmed down and extended his hand with a smile.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
A smile appeared on Jiang Yi's face as well, and the two shook hands.
"Pleasure doing business with you."
"However, I cannot stay in Suotuo City for long. At most, I should leave this place in a few months," Jiang Yi added.
"That is already enough." Soros nodded with a smile.
Jiang Yi was so powerful that Soros knew he would not stay here long.
After making an agreement with Soros, Jiang Yi collected the prize money he had won from the earlier matches.
For the prizes Jiang Yi had won before their cooperation was finalized, Soros also paid according to their newly agreed amount, allowing Jiang Yi to directly receive two thousand gold coins.
Soros directly gave him a Gold Card. With so many gold coins, how could he possibly carry them without a Storage Soul Tool?
I need to get myself a Storage Soul Tool too.
The next time I meet up with them, I wonder if I can get the technology for making Storage Soul Tools from them?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt somewhat expectant.
Before leaving, Jiang Yi made a request of Soros.
"If people named Tang San and Xiao Wu come to register, notify me immediately and arrange for me to fight them."
Soros readily agreed. Tang San and Xiao Wu were probably Jiang Yi's enemies.
After Jiang Yi left, Soros immediately began building momentum for him, widely spreading word of Jiang Yi's battles at the Great Soul Arena that day.
He also established a new Combat Style at the Suotuo Great Soul Arena: King of the Hill Challenge and King of the Hill Defense.
To become an Arena Champion, one had to achieve ten consecutive victories within a single day.
After becoming an Arena Champion, one had to accept challenges from all Spirit Masters of the same level throughout the Soul Fighting Arena, fighting ten matches every week until defeat.
Whoever defeated the Arena Champion would become the new Arena Champion.
As long as one successfully defended the arena for a day, one could receive generous rewards and points.
At first, no one believed Jiang Yi's record of Twenty Consecutive Wins in one day after it was publicized.
However, those who had personally witnessed the entire process came forward at this moment to testify, finally making most people believe it.
They also became filled with anticipation for this new King of the Hill Challenge and King of the Hill Defense Combat Style at the Soto Soul Arena.
Afternoon soon arrived.
Jiang Yi found a hotel near the Soto Soul Arena to stay in. Meanwhile, back at Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong had become the target of everyone's criticism.
Flender looked calmly at Ning Rongrong and said, "Although what I said may not sound pleasant, once Oscar grows stronger, he may indeed replace your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's status among Support Spirit Masters."
Ning Rongrong stood in place blankly. Turning to look at Tang San and the others, who remained silent, her face turned somewhat pale.
Her nose stung, and Ning Rongrong burst into tears. Then she turned and ran straight out of Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai tentatively asked, "Should we pack up her luggage?"
Flender immediately glowered at him and snapped, "Do you want her gone that badly? Go bring Oscar back. Have him find Ning Rongrong and comfort her."
"Next, I'll give you your first lesson. Everyone, come with me."
After a while, Dai Mubai returned, and Flender spoke to everyone.
At dusk, the group hurried in the direction of Suotuo City.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong kept running ahead and unknowingly ran into Suotuo City as well.
After arriving here, Ning Rongrong had basically calmed down.
Thinking about what Flender had said earlier, she felt that some of it made sense, but other parts were full of holes.
Hmph, a mere Spirit Saint dared to speak about me like that. I'll definitely tell Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Gu and have them teach Flender a lesson, Ning Rongrong thought indignantly.
She wandered aimlessly through Suotuo City and eventually arrived near the Suotuo Great Soul Arena.
Because of the Soto Soul Arena's vigorous publicity during the day, many spectators had been drawn there to watch the matches.
Ning Rongrong looked in that direction with interest and followed the crowd toward the Soul Fighting Arena.
