Great Soul Arena, Two-Person Teams

Zhao Wuji wore an expression like he wanted to die. Who had bullied whom during the day? He had been the one beaten until he vomited blood.

Tang Hao saw Zhao Wuji's expression and knew what he was thinking. "That kid Su Yu stood up for Xiao Wu, and I'm standing up for Xiao San. Since you injured Xiao San, you have to pay a price! I won't use Soul Power. Come on!"

With that, Tang Hao rushed forward and gave Zhao Wuji a beating. However, they were only superficial injuries, unlike Su Yu's attack, which had caused Zhao Wuji internal injuries.

Early the next morning, Su Yu got up and dragged Tang San to the Dining Hall, where he began stuffing himself with food. Tang San took some food and went out to find Xiao Wu.

After breakfast, everyone arrived at Shrek Academy's training ground.

The nine of them stood in the square. Tang San and Xiao Wu stood together, while Dai Mubai deliberately or otherwise edged closer to Zhu Zhuqing. Oscar also eagerly sidled up to Ning Rongrong. Seeing everyone paired up, Ma Hongjun turned his gaze toward Lin Rou.

Just as Ma Hongjun was about to move closer to Lin Rou, Su Yu appeared beside her and blocked him. Ma Hongjun looked miserably at the other eight. "What are you all doing? Pairing up one by one..."

Xiao Wu and Lin Rou both blushed slightly, while Zhu Zhuqing showed no reaction at all. Ning Rongrong also ignored Oscar.

Su Yu was thick-skinned anyway, so he felt not the slightest bit awkward standing beside Lin Rou.

Dai Mubai spoke up at this moment. "From now on, we're all students of the same academy. Let me introduce everyone."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai introduced Su Yu and the others. Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had not come yesterday, immediately each hugged one of Su Yu's legs and said in unison, "Brother Su Yu, do you need any underlings? What do you think of us?"

Everyone: "..."

While everyone was talking, Flender walked over from the other side of the training ground. He came before them, pushed up his glasses, and said, "This year is quite good. We have six more little monsters. I am Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy. You can simply call me Dean from now on. On behalf of the academy, I welcome you. Later, each of you is to pay one hundred Gold Coin to Teacher Li, who is in charge of finances. Mubai."

"Dean." Dai Mubai stepped forward and called out.

Flender said slowly, "Later, tell them the academy rules. Then go back and rest. Today's first class will begin tonight. Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Su Yu are exceptions. You three, come with me."

Flender brought the three of them to the other side of the training ground, while the others gradually returned to their rooms.

Flender looked at Su Yu. "Su Yu, I want to know how you seriously injured Zhao Wuji with a single spear strike yesterday."

Su Yu took out the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear and planted it in the ground. "I relied on my weapon, the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear. This spear of mine should count as a Super Divine Artifact. How could a mere Soul Saint withstand one strike from it?"

Flender did not know what a Super Divine Artifact was, but he could tell from the name alone that it was extraordinary. Frowning, he asked, "What exactly is this Super Divine Artifact you speak of? How are you able to wield its power?"

"A Super Divine Artifact is the most powerful weapon in this world. Even in the God Realm, there are only one or two of them. As for why I can wield its power, it has been with me since I was young. It can be said to be my second body, so naturally I can use its power," Su Yu explained.

Everything after that was just Su Yu making nonsense up. Since Flender wanted to know the reason, he could just invent one. In any case, no one knew whether it was true or not.

Flender, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong stared at the Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear in shock. There were only one or two such weapons even in the God Realm.

Flender restrained his excitement somewhat before saying, "All right, you may go back first."

Su Yu nodded and left.

Night fell, and everyone returned to the training ground. Before long, they witnessed an argument. Ning Rongrong's devilish temperament erupted in full force, leaving everyone stunned for quite some time.

Flender's words shattered Ning Rongrong's confidence completely. In the end, Oscar stayed behind to persuade her, while everyone else left Shrek Academy and entered Suotuo City.

Flender brought everyone into a teahouse and told them where they would be going that night: the Great Soul Arena.

The Great Soul Arena badge ranks were divided into eight levels: bronze, silver, gold, purple gold, sapphire, ruby, diamond, and so on.

Flender's task for them was to obtain at least a Silver Soul Badge before graduation.

Everyone soon entered the Great Soul Arena. Registering for Soul Fights here was simple: fill out a form including one's name, age, birthplace, Martial Soul, and other information, then receive an initial Iron Soul Badge.

After registration, they had to be assigned their Soul Fight matches. Flender led them to the Soul Fight area. After briefly giving Dai Mubai a few instructions, he entered the Soul Arena alone.

Before long, all five had been assigned their matches. Since they had arrived together, they were all placed in the 14th Branch Soul Arena. However, Dai Mubai's opponent was at the Soul Elder level, while Tang San and the other six would only face Soul Grand Masters.

Before this, however, Flender had instructed Su Yu not to use his Dragongallbladder Bright Silver Spear. Su Yu agreed with a smile. Tang San, who was standing nearby at the time, dearly wanted to say, "Dean, Xiao Yu's body is absurdly powerful... perhaps even tougher than a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast! Fighting Soul Grandmaster-level opponents would probably be as easy as playing around for him."

The seven of them arrived at the waiting area when Xiao Wu suddenly wanted to register for a Two-on-Two Soul Fight as well. Tang San and Xiao Wu told Dai Mubai about Xiao Wu's idea, and Dai Mubai said, "Sure. You and Xiao Wu can go register."

Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded, then left.

Ma Hongjun's eyes rolled as he looked at Su Yu. "Xiao Yu, how about we register for a Two-on-Two as well?"

Ma Hongjun had quite the plan. If he teamed up with Su Yu, wouldn't his points soar straight upward?

Su Yu glanced at Ma Hongjun. "Sorry, I'm not interested in men." As he spoke, Su Yu sat down beside Lin Rou and looked at her. "Um, how about the two of us form a Two-on-Two team?"

Lin Rou smiled slightly. "Sure."

Ma Hongjun immediately put on a heartbroken expression, clutching his chest. "Xiao Yu, you can't treat me like this."

Su Yu ignored Ma Hongjun entirely and looked at Lin Rou. "Then let's go."

Lin Rou nodded, then left the waiting area with Su Yu.

Ma Hongjun held his forehead and sighed. At this moment, he was completely possessed by the spirit of a dramatic actor.
