Choosing a name was important.

Gu Yuena felt that, as the husband, she should choose on behalf of her wife.

Wives were supposed to listen to their husbands. She had been suppressed by her wife before, but now it was time to display the dignity of a husband and a dragon.

"Let's call it the Feng-Na Team."

Gu Yuena's mind spun rapidly as she took the last character from each of their names.

There were other possible names, but her wife had yet to recover her memories. If she rashly used another name, her wife probably would not agree.

"The Feng-Na Team, correct? I've registered it for you, along with your Martial Souls."

The staff member began typing. After a series of operations, the registration was complete. He took out two Iron Soul Fighting Badges and handed them to Gu Yuena.

"You signed up for a two-on-two soul fight. It will begin in half an hour. Good luck to you."

The staff member said with a smile.

Gu Yuena took them and pulled Shen Yifeng toward the waiting area.

In a two-on-two soul fight, she could show off her majestic bearing.

She would definitely make her wife fall at her feet.

Upon arriving at the waiting area,

Gu Yuena held up the Iron Soul Fighting Badge.

"Yifeng, what kind of Soul Masters do you think our opponents will be?"

"Probably one attack-type and one control-type. Teams with support-type Soul Masters should be relatively rare. Almost no one pairs a Soul Grandmaster with a support-type Soul Master."

There were excellent support Martial Souls such as the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and the Nine Heart Begonia, but if their wielders supported others, they would definitely be paired with stronger Soul Masters.

At the Soul Grandmaster level, such combinations were rarely encountered, and they usually defeated others through coordinated attacks.

Unless it was a seven-on-seven match at the Great Soul Arena.

"Why?"

Gu Yuena put away the badges and asked curiously.

"It's simple. They've never experienced the boost from a good support-type Martial Soul, so they generally think bringing a support-type Martial Soul user would just hold them back. They would rather pair up with a stronger Soul Master."

"That makes so much sense. Yifeng, you really are knowledgeable."

Gu Yuena nodded.

Yifeng truly was brilliant and talented.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard residence, Di Tian summoned the landlord.

"Boss, how would you like this arranged?"

The middle-aged man asked very politely.

"Move all the beds out of every room, then move one bed into the east wing and secure it there."

Di Tian pointed at all the rooms except the eastern room where Gu Yuena lived.

"Yes, boss."

The middle-aged man did not ask further questions.

In his line of work, he took money and got things done. He could not ask too many questions.

He immediately called over the five burly men outside and directed them to remove all the beds except the one in the eastern room, leaving a single bed secured in the east wing.

Upon receiving the order, the five burly men immediately got to work.

Di Tian stood to the side and watched.

This should do it, right?

If something unexpected happened again, he could only take matters into his own hands.

He would use his dragon claws to create an accident.

A short while later,

the five burly men finished their task and locked all the doors to the remaining rooms.

"Boss, it's done. Take a look. Is there anything else you need?"

"I need you to wait here. I rented this courtyard to improve the relationship between two people. If a handsome young man comes asking later, tell him that the other beds need repairs, so they can only make do and stay together."

Di Tian had arranged everything perfectly.

"Rest assured, boss."

The middle-aged man agreed.

Di Tian did not linger and turned to leave.

With everything in place, he went outside and contacted the other three ferocious beasts, intending to head to the Soul Fighting Arena to watch the mistress and master's match.

At the Great Soul Arena, Yu Xiaogang registered Tang San and gave him the name Thousand-Hand Asura.

"You two, your match will probably have to wait until tomorrow. It's too late today, and all the matches have already been scheduled."

"You can go watch the two-on-two soul fights. They're quite entertaining as well."

The staff member offered a recommendation.

Yu Xiaogang nodded and led Tang San toward the viewing area for the soul fights. More precisely, their first stop should be the betting hall.

Shen Yifeng had taken his entire private stash, leaving him with only ten Gold Soul Coins.

He had to earn some money, so he set his sights on the betting tables.

The higher the odds, the greater the returns.

Of course, the risks were greater too.

It was the kind of game that people could not stop playing.

"Teacher, where are we going?"

"To the betting hall. I'm going to make a small wager."

Tang San froze, then felt somewhat guilty.

The fifty Gold Soul Coins his teacher had lost to Shen Yifeng last time had indeed partly been his responsibility.

"Teacher, I still have twenty Gold Soul Coins. Let's bet together."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"Alright. If we win, we'll split it evenly."

The two followed the crowd to the betting hall.

It was bustling with noise, even livelier than outside.

A mature woman in a red cheongsam stood atop a raised platform, slapping the table as she shouted loudly.

"Everyone! The next two-on-two soul fight is about to begin! Power Crocodile and Ghost Wolf, a golden combination of level twenty-five strength-attack and agility-attack Soul Grandmasters! In their last match, they defeated their opponents in just five minutes!"

"Zhao Ritian is guaranteed to win! I'm betting five Gold Soul Coins!"

"I'm betting ten! Qi Luoxing's Ghost Wolf is too fast. No one can keep up with him!"

The crowd below immediately began taking out money. Nearly everyone bet on Zhao Ritian and Qi Luoxing to win.

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San squeezed to the front and curiously looked at the large screen.

"Let me see how formidable this pair really is."

Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin.

"If they really are strong, we'll place a bet too."

Just then, the broadcast suddenly sounded.

"Next two-on-two soul fight! Red-side contestants: Zhao Ritian, Martial Soul Power Crocodile, level twenty-five strength-attack Soul Grandmaster; Qi Luoxing, Martial Soul Ghost Wolf, level twenty-five agility-attack Soul Grandmaster!"

"Blue-side contestants: Shen Yifeng, Martial Soul Rainbow Dragon King, level twenty-six support-type Soul Grandmaster; Gu Yuena, Martial Soul Elementalist, level twenty-six strength-attack Soul Grandmaster!"

"The Feng-Na Team versus the Mad Wolf Team! The match will begin shortly!"

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were both stunned.

"Shen Yifeng? Gu Yuena?"

Tang San's face was full of surprise.

"Why are they at the Great Soul Arena too?"

Light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, but then he frowned.

He had not expected to run into them here.

One support-type and one strength-attack-type, both level twenty-six against level twenty-five. Logically, Shen Yifeng's side had a much better chance of winning.

Yet everyone below had bet on the Mad Wolf Team.

"A support-type? Someone actually brought a support-type Soul Master into a two-on-two match?"

"Are they crazy? Bringing support at the Soul Grandmaster stage is just giving away points!"

"I'm betting twenty Gold Soul Coins on the Mad Wolf Team!"

Discussion erupted one after another. Not a single person thought highly of the Feng-Na Team.

The woman on the platform said with a smile, "It seems everyone has great faith in the Mad Wolf Team. The odds are out now: the Mad Wolf Team pays one point two to one, while the Feng-Na Team pays ten to one!"

"Ten to one?" Yu Xiaogang sucked in a breath.

With such high odds, if he bet on Shen Yifeng's side winning, twenty Gold Soul Coins could become two hundred.

But if they lost, he would lose everything.

Yu Xiaogang fell into hesitation.

He knew Shen Yifeng's support was powerful and Gu Yuena was not weak either, but everyone had bet on the Mad Wolf Team. Did they truly have something exceptional about them?

Tang San looked at him as well.

"Teacher, who should we bet on?"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.

He could use this chance to win back the money he had lost to Shen Yifeng last time.
