Chapter Summary: Going All In Is a Kind of Wisdom!

1. Key Plot Points & Events

Two Soul Saints (himself and Zhao Wuji) can't protect Lin Mo against top-tier forces, so Lin Mo must hide his true strength for now.
  • Future protection: Flender notes that once the Golden Iron Triangle reunites, their combined strength (~Titled Douluo combat power) will allow Lin Mo to act freely.
  • Great Soul Arena introduction: That evening, Flender brings Lin Mo, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and Oscar to Suotuo City. He explains the arena's rules: ranked badges (Iron → Bronze → Silver → Gold → Purple Gold → Sapphire → Ruby → Diamond), point system (+1 win/−1 loss, consecutive win bonuses), and promotion thresholds (100 points from Iron to Bronze, doubling each rank after).
  • Registration: Lin Mo registers under a fake identity—age 13 (not his true 8), martial soul listed as "White Ape" to avoid attention. He receives an Iron Soul badge. Flender provides half-masks to conceal identities, given how young the group is.
  • Setting the plan: Only Lin Mo and Dai Mubai register for official battles; Xiao Wu and Oscar observe for now. Lin Mo gives his codename as "Three-One" and orders Xiao Wu to bet their entire savings (100+ gold soul coins) on him at the betting area.
