"Ning Rongrong, those two men in white from just now... you know them, don't you?"

"Or rather... they know you."

On the street, Tang Yin cut straight to the point.

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu was stunned by this remark.

"No... no, I don't?" Ning Rongrong's heart tightened, and she offered an awkward smile.

Tang Yin laughed, "If that's the case, then we won't talk about it. Being out on your own, you really do need to be careful and cautious."

Xiao Wu trusted Tang Yin's words implicitly, and the look she gave Ning Rongrong now was quite strange:

"If those two really wanted to harm you, they shouldn't have just left. Even though Tang Yin and I appeared in time, they should have at least fought to confirm they were outmatched before retreating. That would have been more normal."

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and sighed, "You two are just too clever. I consider you friends, so I might as well stop hiding it from you. I am actually the youngest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master."

"You're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and you're the Sect Master's daughter?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened abruptly.

Having stayed in a major city like Suotuo City for two years, she had learned a thing or two about the continent's common knowledge through osmosis.

Ning Rongrong nodded gently, then opened her right hand. A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda radiating precious light appeared, and two yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet.

"Look, this is my Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I am currently a level 26 Soul Elder."

"So this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! It really looks beautiful!" Xiao Wu exclaimed with genuine admiration.

Ning Rongrong smiled faintly, then turned to look at Tang Yin and said softly:

"As for the two men in white in the alley, as you said, they are indeed disciples of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They were likely sent by my father to find and protect me."

"However, the corpse on the ground was not one of them; he really did try to ambush me just now."

At this point, Ning Rongrong's pupils dilated slightly, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.

She had been truly terrified just moments ago.

From childhood to now, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

"I have to say, you really have a lot of nerve," Tang Yin said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"Tang Yin and I will escort you back to the academy tonight." Xiao Wu also noticed Ning Rongrong's current unease and patted her shoulder gently.

A smile appeared on Ning Rongrong's pretty face, and she nodded with a soft "Mm."

"Hey! Ning Rongrong, how much money do you have on you?" Tang Yin asked.

Ning Rongrong said softly, "Not much. I snuck out of the sect this time, so I only brought a few hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins with me."

Xiao Wu gasped, on the verge of crying out in shock.

Fortunately, Tang Yin reacted in time, covering Xiao Wu's mouth to prevent drawing attention from others.

"Mmph-mmph-mmph—" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, glared at Tang Yin, and blinked frantically.

"Shh! Don't say things like that so loudly!" Tang Yin whispered into Xiao Wu's ear.

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly.

Tang Yin then let go of Xiao Wu, his lips curling upward as he looked at Ning Rongrong and suggested, "Do you want to go to the Soto Great Soul Arena with us and place a bet? If we win, we'll split the earnings!"

Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, and she instantly understood what Tang Yin was planning.

"A bet? Bet on what?" Ning Rongrong looked confused, not understanding his intent.

"I'll go participate in a soul fight, and you bet on me to win!" Tang Yin squinted and smiled, looking a bit mischievous.

"Oh? And what if you lose?" Ning Rongrong raised an eyebrow, staring at Tang Yin with curiosity.

"I won't lose. At least, not here at the Soto Great Soul Arena," Tang Yin said with a confident smile.

Xiao Wu squinted and smiled, "Tang Yin is already a holder of the Gold Soul Fighting Badge, and he'll be able to rank up again very soon."

Ning Rongrong was quite familiar with the ranking system of the Soul Arena, and upon hearing Xiao Wu's words, she was filled with shock as she looked at Tang Yin again.

"I didn't expect that someone who looks so handsome would also have such remarkable strength!"

"Uh..." Tang Yin was momentarily speechless.

When Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong again, she also wore a strange expression.

Soto Great Soul Arena.

A Gold Soul Fighting level wager match was about to begin, with the venue set in the central area.

The central area was large enough to accommodate more spectators and was also the area that the audience was most passionate about and loved to visit the most.

VIP lounge.

Xiao Wu sat beside Tang Yin, while Ning Rongrong sat opposite them, her legs crossed elegantly.

"Tang Yin, I forgot to ask earlier, but... what is your current soul power level?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Tang Yin laughed, "I am currently a Soul Elder."

"Soul Elder?!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed, instinctively raising a hand to cover her small mouth. Her pupils constricted slightly, and she stared at Tang Yin without blinking.

Handsome, kind-hearted, and powerful!

He was simply her perfect match!

What a pity...

Glancing at Xiao Wu from the corner of her eye, Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and asked with eyes full of anticipation, "Xiao Wu, what about you?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "I'm a Soul Elder, too!"

Ning Rongrong looked stunned, then asked, "And your ages?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and replied, "Aren't you just the right age for Shrek Academy enrollment? Then we should be about the same age as you."

Ning Rongrong suddenly lost the desire to speak.

She was incredibly shocked inside.

Was the world outside so vast?

Geniuses were as common as carp crossing a river!

She was hailed as the number one genius in her sect, so why was it that once she stepped outside...

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The door to the VIP lounge was knocked at this moment.

Tang Yin said, "Come in."

A second later, a beautiful waitress gently pushed the door open, bowed, and said, "Mr. Tang, your match is about to begin."

"I'm off to compete; I'll be right back." Tang Yin patted Xiao Wu's delicate hand lightly, then smiled at Ning Rongrong, "Don't worry, I won't let your 200,000 Gold Soul Coin bet go to waste."

With those words, Tang Yin stood up and walked out.

"One to two odds, I'm going to be rich! Getting a share of 200,000 Gold Soul Coin will last me a long time!" Just thinking about it made Xiao Wu happy, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ning Rongrong smiled helplessly, "Xiao Wu, that amount of money really isn't much. You need to look at the big picture and not worry about such petty gains."

Xiao Wu's mouth twitched, and she retorted, "You wealthy snob!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong didn't get angry; instead, she found it quite interesting.

In Xiao Wu, she saw straightforwardness, ease, and candor.

She felt very comfortable getting along with Xiao Wu.

Perhaps I can stop pretending for a while; keeping up the act is so exhausting, Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

On the Great Soul Arena stage.

Tang Yin and his opponent, Li Mu, stood ten meters apart, confronting each other.

"So you're Tang Yin? Just as the rumors say, you are indeed very handsome!"

"I will sever your head and take it back to keep as a collection."

Li Mu stared at Tang Yin with a sinister grin, licked the blade on his finger, and four Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

This time, Tang Yin was challenging someone of a higher rank.

The Great Soul Arena did not restrict this; in fact, they encouraged it.

Life and death were personal matters, and the arena wouldn't interfere.

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

"However, since you want my head, I naturally won't spare your life."

Tang Yin said in a calm tone.

He flicked his right hand, and the golden thunder patterns on his arm beneath his sleeve stirred quietly, transforming into streaks of golden light that gradually condensed into a long whip flickering with purple electricity.

At the same time, he released his Blue Silver Domain.

After his in-depth development, the current Blue Silver Domain possessed more than just multiple functional effects.

Beyond controlling Blue Silver Grass and stabilizing one's mind, it also had the ability to disguise.

For example, it could hide one's Martial Soul, Soul Ring, aura, and soul power, though it could still be seen through by those whose spiritual power was far superior.

This was because the skill itself was developed by Tang Yin using his spiritual power in conjunction with the Blue Silver Domain.

But Li Mu, who stood before him, clearly could not see through Tang Yin's disguise.

"This duel is to decide the victor, but also to decide life and death. How dare you look down on me like this!"

Seeing Tang Yin holding a long whip without even releasing his Martial Soul or Soul Ring, Li Mu felt slighted and became furious.

In reality, Tang Yin was fully prepared.

It was only because of the disguise ability of the Blue Silver Domain that Li Mu could only see the surface.
