Suotuo City

"So this is Suotuo City?" Lin Yu led three Titled Douluo into the city.

"That's right." Yue Guan nodded.

"This place is called the Barak Granary, and it's also the gateway to the Heaven Dou Empire, heavily guarded." Yue Guan briefly introduced Suotuo City to Lin Yu.

"Let's go, let's take a good stroll through this city." Lin Yu nodded, then took the lead and walked ahead.

Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that Tang San's first visit to Suotuo City had stirred up quite a few incidents.

As the protagonist, Tang San always ran into something wherever he went—either encountering opportunities or stumbling into trouble.

Coincidentally, in Suotuo City, Tang San met both opportunity and trouble.

As for Tang San's opportunities, Lin Yu naturally planned to snatch whatever he could, and as for the trouble, he'd just enjoy the show.

"Fine." Yue Guan nodded to Lin Yu. They didn't bother finding lodging, since Suotuo City had a third-level Martial Soul Hall—would they really lack a room there?

"A place like this actually has a Soul Master's shop?" Seeing this store, clearly different from the ones around it, Lin Yu's eyes lit up.

'This must be that Four-Eyed Owl's shop.'

"I say, Xiao Yu, what good stuff could there be in such a tiny shop?" Yue Guan looked somewhat disdainful, but he still followed Lin Yu inside.

Entering the shop, Lin Yu immediately spotted the Slab Crystal that Tang San had obtained—after all, a crystal with such poor quality was hard to miss.

"As expected, a small shop is just a small shop." Yue Guan looked at the surrounding items with disgust, and even Ghost and Dugu Bo furrowed their brows.

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

Hearing Lin Yu's voice, Flender lifted his head and looked at Lin Yu.

Seeing Lin Yu and the finely dressed people behind him, his eyes also lit up.

"Two hundred Gold Soul Coins."

Hearing Flender's words, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't say much.

"Wrap it up for me." Lin Yu didn't haggle and directly pulled out Gold Soul Coins to pay.

"Young master, your money isn't enough." Flender held the crystal in his hand, raising an eyebrow at Lin Yu.

"Oh? Then how much is it?" Lin Yu stopped Yue Guan and looked at Flender with a smile.

"Five hundred Gold Soul Coins!" Seeing Lin Yu's smile, Flender felt something was off, but the temptation of five hundred Gold Soul Coins was too great, and he directly ignored that feeling.

"Five hundred Gold Soul Coins? Boss sure knows how to name a price." Lin Yu looked at Flender with a half-smile.

"Uncle Yue, does the Martial Soul Hall have any rules against such a crooked boss?" This time, Lin Yu didn't take out any Gold Soul Coins but instead looked directly at Yue Guan.

"Naturally. The penalty is confiscation of all illegal gains and fifteen days of imprisonment." Yue Guan grinned viciously at Flender.

He had long been annoyed by this Flender; if Lin Yu hadn't stopped him, Flender wouldn't have even had the chance to say five hundred Gold Soul Coins.

But now, Yue Guan had a legitimate reason.

"What does this guest intend to do?" Seeing Lin Yu and Yue Guan's actions, Flender finally shook off the temptation of five hundred Gold Soul Coins and looked warily at Lin Yu and Yue Guan.

"What do I intend? Arrest you and bring you to justice." Yue Guan didn't want to waste time and directly revealed his Soul Rings, staring at Flender.

"Are you coming with me on your own, or am I taking you?" Yue Guan looked at Flender with a mocking smile.

Seeing the Soul Rings behind Yue Guan, Flender finally understood the identity of the man before him—a Titled Douluo, someone he couldn't possibly handle.

"Esteemed sir, I was just joking. There's no need for this, is there?" Flender looked bitterly at Yue Guan.

"Why waste words?" Hearing Flender's words, Yue Guan didn't want to say more. He flashed behind Flender in an instant and knocked him out with a single slap.

"Let's go, then." Yue Guan dragged Flender along the ground as he walked out, and Lin Yu picked up the Slab Crystal before leaving the shop.

"Come on, let's keep strolling a bit, then head back to the Martial Soul Hall." With that, Lin Yu continued exploring Suotuo City.

With a purpose in mind, Lin Yu led the group quickly to one of Suotuo City's landmark buildings—the Rose Hotel!

Seeing the Rose Hotel, Yue Guan blinked at Lin Yu. "Xiao Yu, want to go in and take a look? This is an important spot in Suotuo City, you know."

"I say, you old Chrysanthemum, don't go corrupting the Holy Son." Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan with disgust.

Yue Guan had been quick. After handing Flender over to the Suotuo City Martial Soul Hall, he had immediately found Lin Yu again.

The Suotuo City Martial Soul Hall, being a third-level one, had a Soul Douluo present, so there was no worry about Flender escaping. Thus, Flender was doomed to fifteen days of imprisonment without surprise.

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

As soon as he entered, he saw a youth with golden hair flying through the air before landing on the ground.

"Someone dares to act recklessly in the city?" Yue Guan's expression turned cold, and he was about to step past Lin Yu to teach the two fighters a lesson.

The Martial Soul Hall had its own enforcement team, tasked with dealing with Soul Masters who fought freely in the city or attacked ordinary people.

As an elder of the Martial Soul Hall, Yue Guan naturally couldn't tolerate such Soul Masters.

However, Lin Yu reached out and stopped him.

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

"It's fine. Let's watch for now." Lin Yu's eyes were fixed on the two fighters.

Finally, the battle in the arena ended when one of them unleashed a thousand-year Soul Ring.

"Tang San, I'll be waiting for you at Shrek Academy." As the last word of this sentence fell, the golden-haired youth also walked out.

"Uncle Yue, let's leave too." Seeing this battle come to an end, Lin Yu also departed from the Rose Hotel.

'What's going on? Why is it only Tang San? Where's that rabbit?' Lin Yu was a bit puzzled, but he didn't say anything more and silently walked out.

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

"Shrek Academy? I really haven't heard of such an academy before. But though the name is bizarre, its tone is quite big—requiring Soul Power above the twentieth rank just to sign up." Yue Guan stroked his chin, searching his memory but finding no recollection of Shrek Academy.

"Is that so? Logically, an academy that only accepts Soul Masters above the twentieth rank shouldn't be unknown."

"There's no rush about obtaining the Soul Ring. Tomorrow, let's go see what kind of academy has such a big mouth." After saying this, Lin Yu walked straight toward the direction of Martial Soul Hall.

Since the purpose of this trip had already been accomplished, Lin Yu lost all interest in wandering around Suotuo City.
