The Newcomer in the Soul Fighting Arena

If one were to speak of the signature attractions of the Douluo Continent, spirit fighting would certainly take the top spot. Much like the ancient Roman Colosseum, watching the people below engage in combat was enough to make one's blood boil.

As the only young master of Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue had harbored a keen interest in spirit fighting since she was a child.

Had it not been for Qian Daoliu holding her back, she would have long since gone to the spirit fighting arena to show off her skills.

Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Chen Qi felt a thought stir in his mind.

If a person wanted to gain popularity on the Douluo Continent, they either had to be born in Rome or go to the spirit fighting arena to slaughter their way to the top.

Because of this, it had become a mandatory check-in point for all transmigrators; they came here not just to prove their strength, but more importantly, to show off.

If Qian Renxue were to participate in a spirit fight and reveal her terrifying spirit ring configuration, the entire arena—and indeed the entire continent—would be shocked to its core.

Qian Renxue's name would resound across the entire continent.

"Why do you want to participate in spirit fighting? And Master, if you really go, isn't your spirit ring configuration a bit too explosive? If others see it, I fear there will be villains with malicious intent."

Chen Qi voiced his concerns, but upon hearing them, Qian Renxue appeared indifferent and waved her hand dismissively.

"To become famous, of course! If I win a few matches, my reputation will skyrocket. As for the spirit rings, I despise the 'playing the pig to eat the tiger' act. When the time comes, won't I just be appearing as Qian Xue? Even if there are villains, they'll have to see if Pufferfish Uncle and Snake Spear Uncle's fists are hard enough."

After listening to Qian Renxue, Chen Qi nodded. Indeed, he was tired of the "playing the pig to eat the tiger" trope; other than making the plot tense and allowing for more posturing, it served little purpose.

He truly could not understand the style of some transmigrators—clearly invincible, yet they wouldn't dare say a word when bullied. It was truly shameful.

However, becoming famous was not necessarily a good thing.

Inside the hotel suite, Pufferfish Douluo had already regained consciousness. Wrapped in bandages, he sat on the sofa with Snake Spear Douluo, waiting for Qian Renxue's safe return.

"Snake Spear, how could you agree to the Young Master's words? If something were to happen to her, how would we answer for it?"

Snake Spear Douluo sighed and said, "It's all my fault for not thinking it through. As soon as I saw the Young Master was angry, I just went along with her. Pufferfish, why don't I go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and look for her now?"

Creak.

The door pushed open, and Chen Qi and Qian Renxue returned, completely unharmed. Seeing this, the two men finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Snake Spear Douluo stood up and circled Qian Renxue, checking her over, only to find that other than her dress being different, there was nothing unusual about her.

"Snake Spear Grandpa, you don't need to look. I'm perfectly fine. Sword Douluo even had to apologize to Pufferfish Uncle."

Hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo was stunned. To make Sword Douluo lower his status and apologize to a defeated opponent—what exactly had Qian Renxue done to make him concede like that?

Pufferfish Douluo stood up, grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, and asked anxiously, "Young Master, are you alright? Did they do anything to you? How could you dare to go to someone else's territory without the protection of a powerhouse? If something had happened to you, what would the Great Elder do?"

"Don't worry, Pufferfish Uncle. Not only am I fine, but I even made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cough up some gold coins."

Qian Renxue then recounted what had happened at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to Snake Spear and Pufferfish, though she omitted the part about the soiled trousers.

After hearing Qian Renxue's account, both men widened their eyes. They had never imagined that Qian Renxue could be so formidable.

Not only did she return safely, but she also extracted benefits from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Ning Fengzhi must have lost his mind if he couldn't even outmaneuver a child.

"Hee hee, how about that? Am I impressive?"

"Impressive, truly impressive! As expected of the Young Master. At such an age, you can already stand in an invincible position at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Give the Young Master more time, and whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, or even the entire continent, it will all belong to our Spirit Hall."

Snake Spear Douluo was so excited he was incoherent. Qian Renxue's experience was like a Spirit Grandmaster fighting a Title Douluo and winning—an unbelievable feat.

Chen Qi watched Qian Renxue take all the credit for herself and shook his head helplessly.

If he hadn't been more skilled and led Qian Renxue to defeat Ning Fengzhi, the two of them might not have even made it back.

He was the one who deserved the credit.

"By the way, Pufferfish Uncle, Snake Spear Uncle, I want to participate in spirit fighting."

"Spirit fighting?"

The two asked in unison, confused. They were no strangers to the term, but it was baffling that Qian Renxue would want to participate.

"Young Master, you must think this through. There are no rules in the spirit fighting arena; injuries and death are common occurrences."

"That's right, that's right. What kind of good people could be in the spirit fighting arena? They don't know how to hold back. What if you get hurt?"

The two went back and forth, but the gist was the same: do not go to the spirit fighting arena.

Qian Renxue felt very annoyed listening to them. What did they mean, "what if I get hurt"?

Although she had not yet obtained her fourth spirit ring, she could stand in an invincible position even against a Spirit Ancestor.

Besides, with Chen Qi as her safety net, the spirit fighting arena would be nothing more than her one-woman show.

"Pufferfish Uncle, Snake Spear Uncle, is there anyone at the same level who is my match?"

The two fell silent. It was true that with Qian Renxue's current strength, she was already invincible among her peers, and that was only her estimated strength before consuming the immortal herbs.

Now that she had consumed so many, the two really couldn't say for sure what level she had reached; perhaps even Spirit Ancestors would only be crushed by her.

The next day, Qian Renxue and the others left the hotel early and headed toward the largest Great Spirit Fighting Arena in Heaven Dou City.

It covered an area as large as dozens of football fields and looked incredibly spectacular from the outside.

Countless people were pouring into the Great Spirit Fighting Arena, coming from all walks of life to relax during the weekend.

Qian Renxue and the others squeezed into the arena and headed toward the front desk for soul fighting registration.

An old man at the front desk was reading a newspaper with a bored expression. Sensing someone approaching, he didn't even lift his head as he spoke.

"Registration fee is ten gold soul coins. Fill in your personal information on the registration form on the table."

Qian Renxue nodded upon hearing this, placed ten gold soul coins on the table, and then carefully filled out her personal information stroke by stroke.

"Here, it's all filled out."

The old man put down his newspaper, glanced at the information, and nodded.

"Qian Xue, female, soul power level 40, age 8?"

The old man rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't misread it, then looked closely at Qian Renxue's appearance, his heart filled with shock.

The hell, this is eight years old? She looks even more mature than my twenty-year-old granddaughter! And her soul power shows level 40—is this level of talent even human?

He suppressed the shock in his heart, took out a crystal ball, placed it on the table, and said to Qian Renxue.

"Please place your hand on the crystal ball so I can verify your soul power."

Qian Renxue nodded and placed her hand on it.

The crystal ball radiated brilliant light. The old man could hardly believe his eyes; the girl in front of him was truly level 40.

Such talent could not find a rival in the entire Douluo Continent.

"Hey, old man, what are you staring at? Hurry up and bring over the Iron Badge."

Prompted by Qian Renxue, the old man snapped back to reality. Not daring to delay, he respectfully handed the Iron Badge to her.

"This is your badge, please keep it safe."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. The newcomers this year were truly too powerful.
