Dai Mubai's Fury

Suotuo City—the same familiar tea stall. Flender was already seated there, waiting for them.

Beside him sat a familiar figure: Ning Rongrong, who had only just been comforted.

After everyone had gathered, he rose to his feet and said:

"Tonight's lesson is simple: practical combat training. There is a Soul Arena in Suotuo City. Your graduation requirement is to reach Level 40 and obtain a Silver Soul Badge."

"Tonight, each of you must participate in one Soul Battle. Whether it's 1v1 or 2v2, as long as everyone takes part in one match."

"Mubai, lead the way."

After saying that, Flender gave Dai Mubai an instruction before sitting back down at the tea stall. Ning Rongrong also returned to the group at that moment.

They followed behind Dai Mubai and soon arrived before an immensely grand building.

It occupied a vast area. Before they even entered, they could already hear the cheers and shouts coming from within.

"This is the Soto Grand Soul Arena. They'll match opponents based on your Soul Power Level. Every victory earns you prize money and one point."

"The higher the rank of your Soul Badge, the greater the prize money you receive. Follow me. I'll take you to register."

Dai Mubai led the way while explaining the rules to everyone.

Soon, they arrived at a registration counter inside the Soul Arena, where they all successfully registered for their Iron Soul Badges.

"Brother, since the Dean said 2v2 is allowed, let's team up for 2v2. With our strength, we'll definitely be able to take care of our opponents easily!"

Xiao Wu tugged on Tang San's arm and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"Alright, let's go." Tang San nodded and replied indulgently.

"Little Ao! Come with me! Us brothers will go crush them too!"

At the side, Ma Hongjun also dragged Oscar away. The two knew each other well, so they would naturally work together with greater coordination.

"Zhuqing... should we..."

Seeing that only four people remained, Dai Mubai turned toward Zhu Zhuqing and tentatively tried to ask.

But before he could finish, he saw Zhu Zhuqing leave as well, pulling Gu Yi along with her.

She could not even be bothered to reject him now, directly making her attitude clear through her actions.

Gu Yi! You forced my hand!

Dai Mubai burned with anger. He clenched his fists tightly, dangerous light flickering in his eyes.

"Hehehe! That was really entertaining." Ning Rongrong sneered from the side.

That scene just now had been too funny. She could not stop laughing.

"Try laughing again! Do you believe I can make sure you'll never laugh again?" Dai Mubai stiffly turned his head and threatened in a low voice.

Every one of Ning Rongrong's laughs felt like a sharp sword, stabbing endlessly into his heart.

At that moment, Dai Mubai's anger had reached its peak and could explode at any time!

"I'm so scared~ If you dare touch me, how long do you think you'll still be alive?" Ning Rongrong mocked sarcastically.

She truly disdained Dai Mubai's threats.

"You!"

Dai Mubai pointed at Ning Rongrong. His eyes, filled with rage, trembled constantly, yet he made no further move.

He felt it was not worth it. If such a trivial matter affected him, it would be far too foolish.

"Hmph! This is the last chance I'm giving you. If you dare provoke me again, I won't care what status you have!"

After threatening her once more, Dai Mubai stormed away.

Ning Rongrong was left standing alone at the counter, somewhat at a loss.

As a Support-type Soul Master, she could not participate in a Soul Battle alone. She could only wait until everyone else was done, then look for a partner.

Before long, everyone had registered and waited together in the resting area.

However, because Dai Mubai had argued with Ning Rongrong at the entrance, he had been delayed and had only just finished registering.

"Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, registering for a 1v1 Soul Battle."

As he spoke, Dai Mubai handed his Bronze Soul Badge to the counter attendant responsible for arranging the matches.

"So it's Young Master Dai. Alright, I'll arrange it for you right away." The counter manager accepted the badge with a fawning expression and began registering him.

Dai Mubai had a fairly notable reputation around here, so the manager was willing to show him some respect and address him as Young Master Dai.

But while the counter attendant was registering his information, Dai Mubai suddenly leaned closer and handed him a Gold Card containing ten thousand Gold Soul Coins.

"Young Master Dai, what is this?" The counter attendant held the Gold Card and asked in confusion.

"Take it, then help me handle something." As he spoke, Dai Mubai leaned even closer and began whispering into the attendant's ear.

"Alright! Alright! Don't worry, I'll make sure it's handled perfectly for you!" The attendant tucked the Gold Card into his pocket and promised with a smile.

"Mm, I'll leave it to you, then."

Dai Mubai nodded, a sinister smile appearing on his face. He secretly turned his head to look at Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing, anticipation filling his heart.

"Three-Five Combination, please proceed to Soul Arena No. 3 for your match!"

"Zhu-Dragon-Yi-Cat Combination, please proceed to Soul Arena No. 5 for your match!"

Just then, two announcements suddenly rang out through the Soul Arena. Gu Yi and the other three rose at the same time and headed into the arena together.

At that moment, Dai Mubai took a seat in the resting area. He stared intently at the screen displaying Soul Arena No. 5, a wicked smile curling across his lips.

"Welcome, everyone at the Soul Arena. I am the referee for this 2v2 Soul Battle. The first team to appear is a newcomer combination that only completed their registration today. Let us look forward to their performance!"

"Their opponents, meanwhile, are the Twin Apes Combination, with twenty-three victories and zero defeats. Not only do both brothers possess the strength of Soul Ancestors, but their coordination is also flawless!"

"I can't help feeling a little sorry for this newcomer team. To encounter opponents of this caliber in their very first match..."

As the referee spoke, Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing's opponents stepped onto the stage.

They were a pair of twin brothers, broad and powerfully built, their bodies covered in knotted muscles. Compared to them, even Gu Yi's tall one-meter-eighty frame seemed somewhat short.

"Our opponents this time are just two little brats? What is the Soul Arena thinking?" Yuan Yi sneered disdainfully at Gu Yi and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Big Brother! She's not little—she's huge!" Yuan Er immediately retorted. He stared stupidly at Zhu Zhuqing, his shifty eyes fixed on her body.

Gu Yi's expression darkened. He stepped forward, placing himself in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing the figure before her, Zhu Zhuqing felt warmth bloom in her heart. Gu Yi truly cared deeply about her feelings.

"Hehehe! Big Brother, look! He's mad! He's mad!" Yuan Er burst into laughter, looking at Gu Yi with mockery written all over his face.

"Enough. Let's finish this fight quickly. Our sister is still waiting for us at home." Yuan Yi was unconcerned as he assumed a fighting stance.

"Alright! Let's show them what us brothers are capable of!" Yuan Er echoed.

"Hmph!" Gu Yi snorted coldly, then said, "I don't know how we ended up facing you two, but since you're so narrow-minded, I'll let you see just how formidable we are today!"

"Alright! I declare this Soul Battle... begin!"
