Betting

Bibi Dong bent down, placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, and lowered her voice. "Xiao Xue, the dual Soul King combination is indeed extraordinary, after all, they are Soul King. Should we change one?"

Qian Renxue shook her head. "This one."

The middle-aged clerk was completely unsure about the family's background, so she turned to Qian Xunji for help, hoping that the father could say something rational.

"This one will do."

"But you can't just give out a fake grade."

"Soul Elder is Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor is Soul Ancestor. If someone falsely reports their level to enter the Soul Fighting Platform, our Soul Fighting Arena will not be responsible for any accidents that occur."

Qian Renxue didn't say much. She took a step back and, in front of dozens of Soul Master and passersby on the open ground in front of the registration area, released the disguised Martial Soul, the Holy Sword.

Four Soul Ring, two yellow and two purple, lit up simultaneously and slowly rotated around his body.

The noisy registration hall fell silent instantly.

More people gathered from the rest area and the betting window, whispers spreading outwards.

"Four Soul Ring... two yellow and two purple... How old did she say she was? Nine? Nine years old and level 49? How is that possible!"

"Could he be a direct descendant of some reclusive powerful family?"

"The youngest Soul Ancestor on the continent, unheard of a thousand years ago."

The middle-aged clerk felt as if she had been slapped in the face, realizing how foolish she had been to ask such a question.

"We'll arrange it for you right away. Contestant: Lin Xue; Opponent: Sea Soul Brothers."

"Please wait, the match is confirmed as the tenth match tonight, and it will start around 10 PM."

He handed Qian Xunji a bamboo number plate with the number "26" written on it with both hands, and then asked, "Sir, would you like to place a bet?"

Qian Xunji took the number plate and casually took out a heavy money bag from the Angel Ring and placed it on the table.

"I'm betting all three Gold Soul Coin on Lin Xue."

The middle-aged clerk accepted the money bag with both hands. In Vast Sea City, this amount was enough to buy a street-front shop.

The family of three turned and left the registration area.

As soon as they walked away, the Soul Master in the rest area and passersby on the street flocked to the gambling window, crowding the registration area.

"Sea Soul Brothers, bet everything!"

"Beting all on the Sea Soul Brothers is the safest bet. One Soul Ancestor against two Soul King, isn't that just throwing money away?"

Even though the odds are low, getting something for free is still getting something for free!

The female registrar in the window was sweating profusely, filling out one betting slip after another at lightning speed.

Ninety-nine percent of the bets were placed on the names of the Sea Soul Brothers, accumulating tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin in just a few minutes.

Of course, a few veteran gamblers didn't rush to follow suit.

An old man with a goatee stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, "Nine years old, forty-nine levels, two yellow and two purple—this kind of talent is a once-in-a-century talent in any major family."

"Her parents dared to let her fight against the Twin Soul King, they must have some trump cards up their sleeves."

He took out ten Gold Soul Coin and slapped them on the registration desk. "Lin Xue."

A young woman next to her thought for a moment, then took out a few silver coins and placed them in Lin Xue's name.

Such sounds are sporadic, but they do occur.

After all, this is Vast Sea City, where eccentric geniuses and reclusive scholars are never a rarity.

On the other side, the staff led Qian Xunji and his family through the corridor and into the rest room on the second floor of the Soul Fighting Arena.

The lounge was decorated in a very sophisticated way. The side facing the Soul Fighting Platform was a whole piece of transparent soul-guided glass, from which one could clearly see the competition field below, but from the outside one could not see in.

Three soft leather armchairs and a small round table were placed in front of the glass, with tea and fruit already set on the table.

The staff member bowed respectfully, gently closed the door, and left.

Bibi Dong squatted down in front of Qian Renxue: "The combination of two Soul King is not like a single opponent. The cooperation between brothers can be so great that they can tell what move the other is going to make with just a glance."

"Once you're up there, observe them first, figure out their coordination and rhythm before you make a move. If you can't beat them, just admit defeat; there's no shame in that."

Compared to Bibi Dong's worries, Qian Xunji was not worried at all.

Because he had complete faith in Qian Renxue's strength. "Go all out, they're just two Soul King."

Qian Renxue declared confidently, "I'll take them down in three moves."

Soul Fighting Platform Soul Ancestor Battle Stage.

One side possessed a water-based Martial Soul, condensing an incredibly sharp water spear; the other side possessed a rare coral Martial Soul, with its arms covered in a layer of hard white coral armor.

The three of them sat in the lounge for more than an hour, watching four or five shows, each revolving around the element of water.

Qian Xunji noticed that most of the Soul Master here had awakened Martial Soul related to water.

For example, the Martial Soul marine fish, marine beasts, marine plants, and even ocean currents and tides are highly concentrated in the ocean lineage.

But on second thought, this is perfectly normal.

The Vast Sea City is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Generations of Soul Master have made their living from the sea, and the Martial Soul passed down through generations in their bloodline have naturally been assimilated by the marine environment.

Just as the Soul Master of Spirit City have a more even distribution of the five elements, the Soul Master of these coastal cities naturally have more than 70% of their attributes being water.

Around 10 o'clock, the previous match on the Soul Fighting Platform ended.

The host walked briskly to the center of the stage, and the soul-guided loudspeaker clearly broadcast his voice to every corner of the Great Soul Arena.

He glanced down at the schedule board in his hand, and his professional smile froze for a moment.

He flipped the sign over and looked at it again to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

Then he quickly walked up to the supervisor at the sidelines, lowered his voice, and handed him the sign. "Supervisor, is there a mistake on this list?"

"Lin Xue, nine years old, level 49, is there a missing number before the nine?"

The supervisor took the sign, glanced at it, and frowned.

He took out his Communication Soul Tool from his waist and dialed the Soul Power frequency of the registration office.

A weary but certain reply came from the communication device, "It's correct, nine years old, level 49, two yellow and two purple Soul Ring. Everyone at the registration office saw it with their own eyes."

The supervisor and the host exchanged a glance, both seeing the same expression on each other's faces.

The supervisor handed the schedule board back to the host. "Just read what's written on it."

The host calmed himself down, put on a professional smile again, and strode back to the center of the Soul Fighting Platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next match is today's 117th, and also the most surprising one of the night!"

"The two sides facing off are this month's hottest combination, the level 53 dual Soul King, the Sea Soul Brothers!"

A chorus of whistles and applause erupted from the stands.

The Sea Soul Brothers fought for an entire season in the Vast Sea Great Soul Arena, achieving a win rate as high as 80%, making them the most familiar and popular duo among local viewers.

The host paused, glanced down at the schedule board again, and then looked up. "Their opponent is... a newcomer in their first match, a level 49 Soul Ancestor, Lin Xue!"

A few scattered claps rang out from the stands, and many people began to whisper among themselves.

Fighting two level 53 opponents at level 49 is like Soul Ancestor versus Soul King, but there's a huge gap between Soul Ancestor and Soul King. For one person to fight two at the same time is practically suicide.
