Great Soul Arena, Li Feiyu Goes Online

Exotic Beast City is not too far from Nuoding City; it took Li Han only two days to arrive at this major metropolis.

Compared to Nuoding City, this place is indeed far more prosperous.

It is a city on the same level as Suotuo City, which is why a Great Soul Arena exists here.

A fine place indeed.

Li Han smiled faintly and stepped into the city.

However, he did not head to Exotic Beast Academy to find Wang Sheng immediately; instead, he went to the Great Soul Arena to register first.

As a place for Soul Masters to showcase their skills, the Great Soul Arena has strict regulations.

The registration fee is ten Gold Soul Coins, which grants you an Iron Soul Fighting Badge. Winning a match earns one point, while losing one deducts a point. After five consecutive wins, every subsequent win grants ten points, while a loss resets the win streak after deducting one point.

Accumulating one hundred points allows for a promotion.

The ranks are divided into eight levels: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond.

Upon promoting to a Bronze Soul Fighter, each win is worth ten points, with all other rules remaining the same.

An Iron Soul Fighter earns ten Gold Soul Coins for a victory, while a defeat yields no income.

A Bronze Soul Fighter earns one hundred Gold Soul Coins per match, and so on.

Soul fighting is divided into individual battles, duo battles, and seven-man team battles, with points calculated separately for each.

Li Han is currently alone, so the only thing he can sign up for is the individual battle.

Donning the Lone Bamboo mask, Li Han approached the registration desk.

It is worth mentioning that this mask has been refined using the methods of a Dharma Artifact; it no longer looks plain, as it now bears the pattern of a Purple Thunder Roc.

Because feathers from a Purple Thunder Roc were incorporated into it, covering it with soul power allows it to more effectively conceal his face, preventing others from probing his identity.

Unless Li Han removes it himself, the mask will not fall off.

At the same time, it also possesses a certain degree of defensive capability.

"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"

"I want to register for an Iron Soul Fighting Badge."

Li Han took out ten Gold Soul Coins and placed them on the front desk one by one.

"Very well. What name would you like to use, sir? It can be your real name or a nickname."

"Just call me Li Feiyu."

"Understood, Mr. Li Feiyu. Here is your Iron Soul Fighting Badge. Would you like us to arrange a soul fight for you tonight?"

The receptionist handed an iron badge to Li Han and continued to inquire.

"Yes."

"Then please come this way, Mr. Li Feiyu. We will test your soul power and then match you with a suitable opponent."

"Fine."

The process of testing soul power was very simple, much like the procedure during the Martial Soul awakening.

"Martial Soul: Gold-Devouring Thunder Spear. Soul power: level 27."

Under the influence of his second soul skill, Li Han had altered his Martial Soul to the Gold-Devouring Thunder Spear.

Fortunately, this Great Soul Arena does not require one to report their age, which saved him some trouble.

Holding his new fake identity, Li Han began his journey at the Great Soul Arena.

I haven't had any other income for the past year, and my wallet is empty.

I should take this opportunity to participate in a few more soul fights to earn some money.

Li Han had two goals in coming to the Great Soul Arena: first, to hone his practical combat skills, and second, to make money.

There was no helping it; his cultivation was simply too expensive.

Talismans, formations, pills, and Dharma Artifacts—each required a massive amount of money to sustain.

Moreover, he had a large appetite, and the food he ate was not cheap either.

Even though he could hunt soul beasts to earn a little, there was still a huge hole to fill.

Therefore, Li Han directly asked the Great Soul Arena to arrange as many matches for him as possible.

The Great Soul Arena was no stranger to such requests.

Many Soul Masters came here to fight in the arena precisely because they were broke.

Thus, it was perfectly normal for them to make such a request.

Soon, the first soul fight began.

"Welcome, everyone, to the Exotic Beast City Soul Arena! The first soul fight of the night is about to begin!

Let us welcome the first pair of contestants to the stage!

They are Wang Lang! A level 28 Battle Soul Master! His Martial Soul is the Gray Wolf!"

Li Feiyu! A level 27 Battle Soul Master, his Martial Soul is the Gold-Devouring Thunder Spear!

The two are evenly matched in strength; this is bound to be a spectacular soul fight!

It is worth mentioning that Li Feiyu is a newcomer who just registered today, while Wang Lang is already a popular contender with ninety-five points!

As long as Wang Lang can win, he will be promoted directly to a Bronze Soul Fighter due to his winning streak!

Will the newcomer dark horse prove superior, or will the veteran powerhouse maintain the upper hand?

Please, everyone, stay tuned!

After the host's passionate opening remarks, Li Han and Wang Lang stepped onto the stage from opposite sides.

Wang Lang is one meter eighty tall with a sturdy build; one look and it's clear he is a strength-type Soul Master.

Although Li Han is only nine years old, he is already one meter seventy, though he lacks that sense of bulk.

"Heh, my luck is truly good. To think I'd run into a rookie for this final match. Little rookie, running into me is your bad luck. Once I take this match, I can secure the Bronze Soul Fighter rank with a perfect record."

Wang Lang's eyes were filled with arrogance.

Having won nine consecutive matches, he certainly has the qualifications for it.

Possessing level 28 soul power, he holds an almost absolute advantage in Soul Grand Master soul fights, so it is no surprise he could maintain a winning streak.

"My time is very tight, let's start quickly."

Li Han spoke indifferently, not caring in the slightest.

In his view, the opponent running into him wasn't luck, but misfortune.

He has a reason to win!

If he loses this match, he won't even have the money to stay at the inn tonight.

Therefore, he must win this battle!

"Kid! I really don't like your attitude. Time is tight, is it? Fine! Watch how I finish you off in one move!"

Wang Lang frowned, his gaze toward Li Han filled with anger.

"The match begins!"

Following the host's command, Wang Lang was the first to activate his Martial Soul.

"Martial Soul, activate! Gray Wolf!"

Soul power surged from Wang Lang's body, followed by the appearance of two yellow soul rings, and a Gray Wolf manifested behind him.

"Kid, see that! This is my Martial Soul, Gray Wolf! Isn't it imposing?"

Wang Lang looked smug, but at that moment, Li Han hadn't even activated his Martial Soul. He tapped his feet, rapidly closed the distance between them, and threw a punch!

Boom!

This punch, wrapped in soul power, landed squarely on Wang Lang's chest.

Wang Lang's expression changed instantly from the pain, and his body was sent flying backward!

The next moment, Wang Lang had already tumbled off the arena.

Seeing this, the entire crowd was in an uproar.

"This is just too, too, too shocking! Contestant Li Feiyu actually launched a surprise attack the moment Contestant Wang Lang activated his Martial Soul! He didn't even activate his Martial Soul before knocking Contestant Wang Lang out of the arena! This grasp of the battle's timing is truly precise! Let us congratulate Contestant Li Feiyu on his victory!"

The host was the first to react, sparing no praise.

"I protest! This was a sneak attack!"

Wang Lang climbed up from below the arena, his face full of anger.

His winning streak was gone just like that, so naturally, he was furious.

What made him even angrier was that he had lost before he could even fight with his full strength.

It was too humiliating.

"Exactly, isn't this a sneak attack? He didn't even activate his Martial Soul; it's completely lacking in martial virtue!"

In the spectator stands, the crowd discussed it heatedly.
