Most soul masters who come here for soul duels wear masks to prevent being recognized and having their tactics studied in advance.
Therefore, the Great Soul Arena allows contestants to wear masks on stage.
Of course, there are also those who disdain this and show their true faces directly.
"No need!" Luo Yan shook his head in refusal.
Setting aside the fact that he wasn't afraid of being recognized, he still intended to use Xiao Wu's appearance to harvest a wave of leeks later; he couldn't afford to waste such an opportunity.
You Chunping didn't say anything and led them into the Great Soul Arena.
Walking into the Great Soul Arena, the first thing that caught their eyes was a massive stone tablet engraved with a dense list of names.
"These are the people who died in battle at the Great Soul Arena. As long as they die on the ring, we engrave their names here."
You Chunping walked in front, not forgetting to introduce it to them as they passed by.
Further ahead, it was simpler: there were individual rings, each surrounded by spectator stands.
The Suotuo City Great Soul Arena had a total of seven rings of varying sizes.
At this moment, soul duels were taking place on three of the rings, and the stands beside them were packed with people, with cheers filling the area around the rings.
Because of the sound-insulation soul arrays, the soul duels on the rings were not affected, nor did the noise leak out.
Soon, Luo Yan and Xiao Wu were brought to a relatively large ring.
"The two of you, please wait here for a moment. We will arrange opponents for you immediately!"
After You Chunping settled Luo Yan and Xiao Wu in a room, she turned and walked out.
Seeing You Chunping leave, Luo Yan said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, when you go on stage with me later, you are responsible for the attacks."
"But don't beat anyone to death; go easy on them, otherwise no one will dare to challenge us anymore!"
Right now, they were still Iron Soul Masters, also known as the legendary black iron rank.
The Great Soul Arena certainly wouldn't arrange any powerful opponents for them.
Luo Yan didn't want Xiao Wu to kill their opponent right at the start.
"Okay, Brother Luo Yan, don't worry, I will definitely control my strength!" Xiao Wu felt a bit expectant upon hearing that she would be the one attacking.
Hearing this, Luo Yan felt relieved.
In any case, they had registered for a two-on-two, and he would be on stage too; if things got out of hand, he could just step in to stop it.
Not long after, You Chunping returned.
The Great Soul Arena had cultivated quite a few Iron and Silver Soul Masters, so finding opponents wasn't difficult.
"The two of you, your soul duel has been arranged. In ten minutes, after the audience has taken their seats, you can go on stage!"
"This time, the opponents you are facing are the Wild Wolf Team, two three-ring Soul Elders."
"If the two of you feel you cannot win, just admit defeat when the time comes. Our Great Soul Arena will protect your lives!"
After returning, You Chunping began to explain the rules of the soul duel to Luo Yan and Xiao Wu, and also provided some basic information about their opponents.
"No problem!"
"Please arrange even stronger opponents in advance. We will continue to challenge others later, so please contact any experts you can reach in the short term!"
Luo Yan did not refuse.
If he hadn't just arrived, he would have wanted to challenge those with Purple Gold Soul Badges or higher directly.
The current Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors were just small fry who couldn't stir up any trouble.
Ten minutes later, the spectator stands around the ring were already full of people, all of whom had come to watch the soul duel and hoped to make money through betting.
"Another pair of newcomers who don't fear death? They're taking on the Wild Wolf Team right off the bat; that team won't go easy on them!"
"This young girl is quite a beauty, what a pity. That guy Shadow Wolf is extremely lecherous; he will definitely take the opportunity to do something!"
"This young man is also quite handsome!"
"Let's see. Starting off like this, I feel like these two newcomers might have something up their sleeves!"
"Whatever, ten Gold Soul Coins, I'm going all in on the Wild Wolf Team. The Wild Wolf Team are both Soul Elders, and these two are only in their teens; how could they possibly beat the Wild Wolf Team!"
"That's right, brother, I'm betting on the Wild Wolf Team too. Today is the day you and I make some money!"
"..."
Luo Yan and Xiao Wu were already standing on the ring.
Because of the sound-insulation array, the audience could hear the sounds on the ring, but they could not hear the discussions from the surrounding stands.
Even if he knew, Luo Yan wouldn't care.
At this moment, two young men were standing not far in front of Luo Yan.
One of the men, who looked very thin and weak, fixed his gaze on Xiao Wu the moment he stepped up.
The greed in his eyes made Xiao Wu feel extremely disgusted.
"Brother Luo Yan, the way that person is looking at me makes me feel sick!" Luo Yan didn't speak, and Xiao Wu didn't strike immediately either.
If they were outside, the opponent would already be lying on the ground.
Luo Yan noticed it too.
"Hmm, Xiao Wu, when you make your move in a moment, just cripple him. You only need to leave him with a single breath!"
"I'll use some methods later to send him straight to meet his great-grandmother!"
Originally, Luo Yan only intended for these two to spend a few days in bed, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so intent on courting death.
However, before stepping onto the stage, they had agreed with the Great Soul Fighting Arena that this would be a sparring match rather than a life-or-death battle; they could not kill the opponent on the ring.
If not for the worry that the Great Soul Fighting Arena might stop arranging future opponents for them, Luo Yan would not want to let the other party walk off the ring alive.
Although he was not as hypocritical as Tang San, Xiao Wu was his woman, and he naturally would not let anyone else lay a finger on her.
"Dear audience friends, since both sides have officially entered the arena, let us look forward to the soul fighting performance from both parties!"
"The match officially begins!"
The host gave a brief introduction, then sat on a flying device hovering to the side, waiting for both sides to begin the soul fight so he could provide commentary.
Hearing the host announce the start of the match, the Wild Wolf Team stood side by side and directly released their martial souls.
"Level 33 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder, martial soul Wild Dog, please advise!"
"Level 34 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Elder, martial soul Shadow Wolf, please advise!"
As their voices fell, one white and two yellow soul rings emerged beneath their feet, and the phantoms of their martial souls appeared behind them.
After releasing his martial soul, Shadow Wolf looked at Luo Yan and Xiao Wu with a playful expression, the greed in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Wu growing even more intense.
Hearing this, Luo Yan and Xiao Wu did not speak, simply watching them quietly.
Mainly, it was impossible for them to release their martial souls, and they did not feel any aura of danger from the opponents.
However, to the audience in the stands, this reaction looked like they were stunned by the strength of the Wild Wolf Team.
They stood frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
"If they can be scared like this, they should just hurry up and get off the stage. I thought they were some kind of dark horse, but it turns out they really are just two rookies. You guys really deserve to die, give me my money back!"
"Two kids, probably haven't even grown their hair out yet, and they actually dare to come here for a soul fight!"
"It's a sure thing, looks like the first match today will have me returning home with a full load!"
"Sigh, gamblers never die well; I really shouldn't have believed in that illusory possibility!"
