Suotuo City

"Is this Suotuo City?" Lin Yu asked as he entered the city with three Titled Douluo.

"That's right." Yue Guan nodded.

"This place is known as the Barak Granary and is also a gateway to the Heaven Dou Empire. It's heavily guarded." Yue Guan gave Lin Yu a brief introduction to Suotuo City.

"Come on, let's take a good look around." Lin Yu nodded, then took the lead and headed forward.

Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that quite a few things had happened when Tang San first came to Suotuo City.

As the protagonist, Tang San always ran into something wherever he went. Sometimes he found opportunities, and sometimes he got into trouble.

As it happened, in Suotuo City, Tang San had found an opportunity and gotten into trouble.

Lin Yu naturally planned to snatch any opportunity Tang San came across, and enjoy the show whenever he ran into trouble.

"Sure." Yue Guan nodded at Lin Yu. They hadn't looked for a place to stay. After all, there was a Level Three Spirit Hall in Suotuo City. Surely they'd have rooms for them.

"An unusual shop like this actually exists in a place like this?" Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the shop, which clearly stood out from the others nearby.

This should be the shop run by that Four-Eyed Owl.

"Xiao Yu, what good stuff could a little shop like this possibly have?" Yue Guan said with obvious disdain, but he still followed Lin Yu inside.

As soon as he entered the shop, Lin Yu spotted the Slab Crystal Tang San had acquired. A crystal in such poor condition was hard to miss.

"Just as I thought. A little shop is still a little shop." Yue Guan looked around at the wares with distaste. Even Gui Mei and Dugu Bo furrowed their brows.

"Shopkeeper, how much for this crystal?" Lin Yu picked up the crystal and asked Flender.

At the sound of Lin Yu's voice, Flender lifted his head and looked at him.

When he saw Lin Yu and the finely dressed people behind him, his eyes lit up.

"Two hundred Gold Soul Coins."

Flender's answer made Lin Yu raise an eyebrow, but he said nothing.

"Wrap it up for me." Lin Yu didn't haggle. He simply took out the Gold Soul Coins and prepared to pay.

"Young master, that's not enough money." Flender held the crystal and raised an eyebrow at Lin Yu.

"Oh? Then how much is it?" Lin Yu stopped Yue Guan and smiled at Flender.

"Five hundred Gold Soul Coins!" Seeing Lin Yu's smile made Flender feel that something was off, but the lure of five hundred Gold Soul Coins was too great. He dismissed the feeling.

"Five hundred Gold Soul Coins? You've got some nerve naming that price, shopkeeper." Lin Yu looked at Flender with an almost amused expression.

"Uncle Yue, does Spirit Hall have any rules for crooked shopkeepers like this?" This time, Lin Yu didn't take out any money. Instead, he looked directly at Yue Guan.

"Of course. He'll be fined all his illegal earnings and imprisoned for fifteen days." Yue Guan gave Flender a savage grin.

He'd disliked Flender from the start. If Lin Yu hadn't stopped him, Flender wouldn't even have had the chance to demand five hundred Gold Soul Coins.

But now Yue Guan had a perfectly good reason to deal with him.

"What are you trying to do, honored guest?" Seeing Lin Yu and Yue Guan's actions, Flender finally shook off the temptation of those five hundred Gold Soul Coins and looked at them warily.

"What do you think? We're arresting you." Yue Guan didn't want to waste time. He revealed his Soul Rings and fixed his gaze on Flender.

"Are you coming with me willingly, or do I have to take you myself?" Yue Guan looked at Flender with a faintly mocking smile.

When Flender saw the Soul Rings behind Yue Guan, he finally realized who the man was. A Titled Douluo was far beyond his ability to handle.

"My lord, I was only joking. There's no need to take it this far, is there?" Flender looked at Yue Guan with a bitter expression.

"Enough talk." Yue Guan didn't want to hear any more. He flashed behind Flender and knocked him unconscious with a single slap.

"Then let's go, too." Yue Guan dragged Flender out along the ground, while Lin Yu picked up the Slab Crystal and left the shop.

"Come on. We'll look around a little more, then head back to Spirit Hall." With that, Lin Yu continued exploring Suotuo City.

With a destination in mind, Lin Yu and the others soon arrived at one of Suotuo City's landmarks—the Rose Hotel!

Seeing the Rose Hotel, Yue Guan blinked at Lin Yu. "Xiao Yu, want to go inside and have a look? This is one of the important places in Suotuo City."

"Hey, Chrysanthemum, don't you dare lead His Highness the Holy Son astray." Dugu Bo gave Yue Guan a scornful look.

Yue Guan was quick about it. After handing Flender over to Spirit Hall in Suotuo City, he soon rejoined Lin Yu.

Suotuo City's Spirit Hall was a Level Three branch with a Soul Douluo stationed there. There was no need to worry about Flender escaping, and sure enough, he was sentenced to fifteen days in prison.

"Then let's go in and take a look." Lin Yu followed Yue Guan's suggestion and walked into the Rose Hotel.

As soon as they entered, they saw a blond-haired youth fly through the air and crash to the ground.

"Someone dares to attack people so brazenly in the city?" Yue Guan's expression turned cold. He was about to step past Lin Yu and teach the two fighters a lesson.

Spirit Hall had its own law enforcement teams. They dealt with Soul Masters who fought recklessly in the city, as well as those who attacked ordinary people.

As an elder of Spirit Hall, Yue Guan naturally couldn't tolerate Soul Masters like that.

But Lin Yu stopped him.

"Xiao Yu." Yue Guan started to say something, but Lin Yu shook his head at him.

"It's fine. Let's watch first." Lin Yu kept his eyes on the two fighters.

The fight finally ended when one of them used a Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"Tang San, I'll be waiting for you at Shrek Academy." As the last word fell, the blond-haired youth left.

"Uncle Yue, let's go, too." After the fight ended, Lin Yu left the Rose Hotel.

What's going on? Why is Tang San here alone? Where's that Rabbit? Lin Yu was puzzled, but he said nothing and quietly walked out.

"Uncle Yue, do you know about Shrek Academy?" Lin Yu asked Yue Guan.

"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of it. The name is bizarre, but they certainly have some nerve. You need to be at least level twenty to apply." Yue Guan rubbed his chin. He searched through his memories, but couldn't recall anything about Shrek Academy.

"Is that so? If they only accept Soul Masters at level twenty or above, it shouldn't be an unknown academy."

"There's no rush to get a Soul Ring. Tomorrow, let's go see what kind of academy has such a big opinion of itself." After speaking, Lin Yu headed straight toward Spirit Hall.

He'd accomplished what he'd set out to do this time, and had no more interest in wandering around Suotuo City.
