Dai Mubai smiled and said, "My current spirit power level is thirty-seven, and my record here is twelve wins and twenty-seven losses."
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun also mentioned his own record, saying, "I'm at level twenty-seven, and my record here is seventeen wins and twenty-eight losses."
Hearing this record, one couldn't help but gasp; it wasn't easy for Ma Hongjun to achieve seventeen wins even at level twenty.
Dai Mubai said, "You can participate in solo and duo matches. Jiang Huai, I see that your strength is extraordinary, so you can fight one-on-one and then one two-on-two. Besides, in our team, you and Gu Yue are the only pair."
Jiang Huai nodded and said, "That works. How do I register?"
Dai Mubai first taught Jiang Huai how to register for solo matches. For one-on-one, one had to fill in their identity information, while for two-on-two, the duo had to choose their own team name.
Jiang Huai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's finish the one-on-one match first, then come back to decide on a name for the duo."
Just then, the competition broadcast announced: "Will Spirit Venerable Jiang Huai please proceed to the seventeenth spirit fighting arena."
Hearing this, just as Jiang Huai was about to head over, Gu Yue grabbed his sleeve and said, "Be careful."
Jiang Huai nodded and said, "Don't worry."
Soon, they arrived at the seventeenth spirit fighting arena. Before entering, they had to verify their martial spirit, level, and personal information.
Dai Mubai led them to a viewing box, as he had taken Flender's VIP card, which allowed him to open a box in any sub-arena at any time.
Soon, the host flew out on a Soul Guidance Device, held up a microphone, and shouted, "Good evening, everyone!"
The entire spectator stand erupted in cheers and shouts. The host continued, "The first Spirit Venerable battle we welcome tonight is about to begin. Let us invite Yao Hu Zi!"
Soon, a woman with a figure that didn't lose to Gu Yue stepped onto the battle platform. She loved pink, so the dress she wore was also pink.
The host introduced, "Miss Yao Hu Zi has already participated in eighteen Spirit Venerable battles. It is said that she is almost at level forty spirit power, is that right?"
Hearing this, Yao Hu Zi replied in a charming voice, "Yes!"
"Great! Yao Hu Zi currently has a seventeen-match winning streak in the Spirit Venerable arena. Her only defeat was right when she first became a Spirit Venerable in this very arena."
At this moment, the host held the microphone and said once more, "Today, Yao Hu Zi's first opponent is a newcomer. At only twelve years old, he has reached level thirty-nine spirit power, and his martial spirit is a sword-type with extremely formidable attack power. Let us look forward to this!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the gate opposite Yao Hu Zi rose. Jiang Huai walked out with his hands in his pockets. Although he was twelve, his spirit power level was high, and he lacked the immaturity of a child, possessing instead the composure of an adult.
Soon, the host introduced Jiang Huai's information, then placed his hand between the two. Both released their martial spirits; Yao Hu Zi was a Three-Tailed Demon Fox martial spirit user with formidable strength.
But Jiang Huai's martial spirit was not to be underestimated; how could a terrifying sword martial spirit be easily defeated?
"START!"
Jiang Huai struck first with a sword slash, and Yao Hu Zi hurriedly released her Three-Tail Shield.
Yao Hu Zi hadn't calculated why he would strike first. After thinking, she took a deep breath, swept Jiang Huai back with one tail, and then her eyes began to turn pink.
Jiang Huai looked over and saw Yao Hu Zi tucking her hair behind her ears, saying in a seductive voice, "Little brother~ come and play with me."
In the viewing box, the corners of Gu Yue's mouth curled up. "How foolish. To dare use a charm skill on him is utter stupidity. When Xiao Wu tried to use charm on Jiang Huai back then, she was almost beaten to death."
Xiao Wu stomped her feet in resentment behind Gu Yue. "Sister Gu Yue, didn't we agree not to talk about that?"
On the battle platform, Jiang Huai took a deep breath, and the Gu Yue in his mind directly kicked away Yao Hu Zi's charm.
Jiang Huai's aura surged as he raised his sword and charged forward. Yao Hu Zi dodged in a panic. Her third spirit skill had always been her trump card for victory, but since it was useless against Jiang Huai, she had no choice but to dodge with all her might.
Jiang Huai gripped Jiang Ling, which was wrapped in black cloth, and unleashed a slash. The terrifying sword energy directly knocked Yao Hu Zi off the platform.
Seeing this, the spectator stand erupted in frantic cheers. Yao Hu Zi had used her charm skills to defeat various opponents, and they had long been annoyed by her. This time, Jiang Huai defeated her, and everyone cheered.
The host landed on his Soul Guidance Device, reached out to grab Jiang Huai's wrist, and raised it, saying, "The winner of this match is Spirit Venerable Jiang Huai!"
Soon, Jiang Huai walked out and went to the registration desk to record the win. When registering his points, he discovered that this match alone had awarded him twenty points.
During this time, Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing also came out. They had been matched together in this round, a battle between two newcomer Great Spirit Masters.
Tang San's spirit power was about to break through to Spirit Venerable, while Zhu Zhuqing was still at level twenty-seven with no signs of rising.
Gu Yue held Jiang Huai's arm as they went to register for the duo team. When they arrived to register, they ran into a dilemma.
Gu Yue didn't know what to name the team, so Jiang Huai thought for a moment and said four characters: "Jianghu Yueying" team.
The registrar heard this and filled the four characters onto the duo team badge, then handed it to Jiang Huai and Gu Yue. Jiang Huai helped her put on the badge with Gu Yue's name, then put his own on, and the two turned to leave.
Soon, the duo match was announced on the broadcast. The battle information read: Jianghu Yueying versus Dragon-Tiger Duo, heading to the thirty-eighth sub-arena.
Hearing the broadcast, Jiang Huai and Gu Yue nodded, said goodbye to Dai Mubai and the others, and left. Jiang Huai pondered the "Dragon-Tiger Duo"—could it be two martial spirits, a dragon and a tiger?
Soon, Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "Gu Yue, don't use lethal force during the match later. If they provoke us, just make them regret it."
Gu Yue nodded upon hearing this, because Jiang Huai had thought of dragons. What were the characteristics of a dragon? Dragon martial spirits had domineering attack power and powerful inherent attributes, but there was another main characteristic: they were lustful. It was a well-known fact across the entire Douluo Continent that dragons were inherently lustful.
The representative family for dragon martial spirits was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the third of the Upper Three Sects, whose single-lineage martial spirit was characterized by lightning.
Soon, Jiang Huai and the others arrived at the thirty-eighth sub-arena. The host successfully introduced the two teams, specifically highlighting the Dragon-Tiger Duo, who had achieved a thirty-seven-match winning streak with their martial spirit fusion skill, Dragon Struggles Tiger Rages.
Soon, the two stepped onto the stage early and waved to the spectator stand. Jiang Huai and Gu Yue's Jianghu Yueying team stood opposite them.
The two members of the Dragon-Tiger Duo were the leader, Long Sui, and the second, Jiao Er. The two were a married couple who, with their martial spirit fusion skill, could be said to have defeated all the duo teams in the Soto Grand Arena.
