Weekend, evening.
When the last rays of the setting sun shone like broken gold on the worn-out fence of Shrek Village, the tall figure of Dean Flender appeared at the entrance of the college. He was still wearing the washed white green gown, and his eyes behind the round-framed glasses were particularly sharp at this moment, as if he was a Cat Owl who was preparing to take his cubs out of the nest to hunt.
"Everyone, gather!"
With a low shout from Flender, ten more figures instantly appeared on the playground. After a week of hellish physical training, in addition to Gu Tian and his team who were still in high spirits, Tang San, Dai Mubai and others all had a coldness and tenacity in their temperaments after being squeezed.
"Today is your first actual battle as Shrek students, and it is also the first lesson that I, the dean, give you." Flender put his hands behind his back and glanced at every child in front of him, "Our destination is Suotuo Great Soul Arena. There, you will face elite Soul Master from all over the world. Blood, glory and wealth are all waiting for you there."
"Let's go! Follow me!"
Flender waved his hand and took the lead to set off, and everyone filed out. Along the way, Flender walked very fast, and Shrek and his group formed a unique scenery - all dressed in smart clothes, especially the orioles and swallows beside Gu Tian, which attracted frequent glances from the passing villagers.
Flender always maintained a very fast speed. Soon, Gu Tian discovered the destination of this trip, Suotuo City.
The distance from the Shrek Academy to Suotuo City is not far, and the group walked there in less than half an hour.
As Suotuo City got closer and closer, the originally quiet suburb gradually became noisy. When the huge city outline appeared in the field of vision again, the sky had completely darkened, but Suotuo City was even more brightly lit than in the daytime.
Suotuo City is located inside the Balak Kingdom and will not be subject to any direct threat from the outside, so the city gate here is open around the clock and the group of people can enter Suotuo City smoothly.
Although the sky is getting dark, the interior of Suotuo City is still brightly lit. The nightlife here is very rich, and the various shops on both sides of the street are still entertaining customers.
Ma Hongjun's eyes were a little tired, and he looked around, aiming at the women on the road.
From the age of six to sixty, Ma Hongjun's eyes never let go of anyone, especially when she saw those with plump figures, she swallowed her saliva. This look disgusted Meng Yiran in the team to death. She was already older than the people around Gu Tian, so she knew the thoughts of these little boys better.
Flender, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, looked at the tall building in front of him, and said lightly, "Little Monster, we are here!"
Before they even got close, a noisy sound like ocean waves rushed towards them. It was the terrifying resonance formed by tens of thousands of people shouting and cheering at the same time, and even the stone tiles under their feet were trembling slightly.
It was a circular building so majestic that it was almost miraculous. Huge stone pillars over a hundred meters high supported the dome, and the entire body was made of expensive white jade. Under the illumination of countless Soul Guidance Lamps, it exuded a milky white sacred luster.. At the top of the building, a huge flag is fluttering in the wind, with a golden cross-sword logo embroidered on it - this is the holy land that the whole continent Soul Master dreams of, Suotuo Great Soul Arena.
"This kind of building is Great Soul Arena, which can only be found in big cities. Your Martial Soul are all different and have different cultivation methods. As teachers, the knowledge we can teach you is limited. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them how to fish. Therefore, you have to accumulate practical experience by yourself."
"In an ever-changing battle, rich practical experience can greatly improve your ability to adapt to changes. Therefore, the first thing I teach you is the actual battle that follows."
"Great Soul Arena has three types of competitions." Flender led everyone to the registration area at the side door, explaining in a cold voice as he walked.
"The first one is a one-on-one individual match. It is the best stage to show your personal bravery and hone your Soul Skill connection."
"The second type is a two-on-two cooperation match. On the battlefield, you cannot fight alone forever. How to reach a tacit understanding with your partners is a required course for you."
"The third type is also the most cruel and exciting - group battles. The scale is usually between seven and ten people. In Great Soul Arena, group battles often mean the pinnacle of team honor. I ask you that everyone must participate in at least one individual match tonight. As for combination matches and group battles, it depends on the situation."
Suotuo Great Soul Arena is oval in shape, similar to a huge stadium. There is a large arena in the middle and twenty-four small arenas around it, which facilitates one-on-one duels between Soul Master. The arena is surrounded by circles of seats, which can accommodate 60,000 people to watch the battle at the same time. This is not only a place for Soul Master to compete, but also a place for each major sect to display their strength.
Flender Pushed open the thick side door, and a strong sense of adrenaline and bustle instantly surrounded everyone. This is the internal registration hall, decorated to the extreme with luxury, and staff in uniforms are busy behind the counter handling various procedures.
"Dean, should we use our real names?" Tang San subconsciously touched his sleeves.
"In Great Soul Arena, you can use code names." Flender sneered and took out a stack of blank Iron Soul Badge from his arms. "In order to hide your identity and avoid unnecessary trouble, each of you will give yourself a code name."
Flender walked to the counter, slapped the stack of badges on the table, and said to the staff in a domineering tone, "Register these ten children, and the levels will all be according to the actual Soul Power. Remember, they are Shrek monsters."
Gu Tian looked at the Soul Fighting badge in his hand, a hint of amusement flashed in his nine-colored eyes.
"Code name..." He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Wu and Na'er, who were struggling with what names to choose, and then looked at Tang San, who had a gloomy look on his face and seemed to be thinking about how to make a blockbuster success on this Soul Fighting Arena, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Signing up here is very simple. You only need to fill in a form, including code name, age, place of birth, Martial Soul and other key information, and you can receive the initial badge - Iron Soul Badge.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the arrangement of battles between Soul Master and balance the matching mechanism, the staff also tested Soul Power Level for them. They explained that the Soul Power Level test must be conducted in time before each game to facilitate matching of evenly matched opponents.
Flender reminded everyone, "In a Iron Soul Fighter level game, you can get ten Gold Soul Coin for every win, but the registration fee for each game is five Gold Soul Coin. If you lose, you will lose the registration fee in vain. I paid for your first game tonight, so you must win it back for me! Come on!"
