After filling out the information and having his Soul Power tested.

The staff member quickly handed Jin Feng an Iron Soul Badge and explained, "This is your Iron Soul Badge. Please keep it safe."

"The Great Soul Arena badges are divided into eight ranks: Iron, Copper, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond Soul Badges. They are valid across the entire continent."

"Each victory in a registered Soul Fighting match earns one point. A loss deducts one point."

"After more than five consecutive victories, each win earns ten points, while each loss deducts ten points."

"After more than ten consecutive victories, each win earns one hundred points, and each loss likewise deducts one hundred points."

"To advance from an Iron Soul Badge to a Copper Soul Badge, you need one hundred points. Advancing to a Silver Soul Badge requires one thousand points, a Gold Soul Fighting Badge requires five thousand points, and a Purple Gold Soul Fighting Badge requires ten thousand points."

"Beyond that, a Sapphire Badge requires thirty thousand points, a Ruby Badge sixty thousand points, and a Diamond Soul Badge one hundred thousand points."

After listening to the staff member's explanation.

Jin Feng carefully calculated it in his head before suddenly asking a shocking question, "So, as long as I win one thousand matches in a row, I can obtain the highest-ranked Diamond Soul Badge?"

"!!!"

As Jin Feng's words fell.

Not only did the Great Soul Arena staff member before him freeze, but even several independent Soul Masters nearby who had overheard were rooted to the spot, staring in stunned disbelief at the masked Jin Feng.

After quite a while.

They slowly came back to their senses.

Then, suppressing his amusement, the staff member replied with a serious expression, "Theoretically, yes. But since the Great Soul Arena was established, no one has even managed a hundred consecutive wins, much less a thousand..."

"Understood!"

Jin Feng nodded slightly at that.

He then said, "Register me for a Soul Fighting match, then. Arrange the nearest twenty matches directly. Enough for me to advance to a Silver Soul Badge will do."

Looking at the exceedingly confident Jin Feng before him.

The staff member paused before immediately explaining, "The rules are the same for Great Soul Arenas across the continent. In one-on-one matches, each person may only compete once per day."

"Furthermore, opponents for Soul Masters on winning streaks are arranged according to their streaks and their own strength. So you cannot register for twenty matches at once. They must be arranged one at a time."

Hearing this.

Jin Feng nodded slightly. "Then arrange today's Soul Fighting match first. The sooner, the better."

At this.

The staff member immediately lowered his head and began making the arrangements.

Before long, he looked up and said to Jin Feng, "It has been arranged. It is a one-on-one Soul Fighting match, starting in half an hour at No. 3 Soul Fighting Platform. Your opponent is a level 24 Soul Grandmaster with an Iron Rod martial soul and a record of two wins and one loss."

"Good!"

Jin Feng answered.

Then he left with Niu Gao and Gu Yuena.

As Jin Feng's group disappeared into the distance, the Soul Masters near the registration desk could no longer hold back their laughter and complaints.

"Hahaha!"

"He really is a newborn calf that fears no tiger!"

"A mere level 24 Soul Grandmaster actually wants to win a thousand matches in a row and directly obtain a Diamond Soul Badge."

"If that old man beside him hadn't seemed so imposing, I would have laughed right then... Holding it in was really painful."

"A little genius who reached level 24 at twelve years old being a bit arrogant is normal. After taking part in a few Soul Fighting matches and getting taught a lesson a couple of times, he should behave himself."

"..."

Jin Feng knew nothing of the discussions behind him.

At this moment, he had already appeared with his grandfather and Gu Yuena before a Soul Fighting betting counter.

Looking at the bustling betting area, Jin Feng turned to Niu Gao and said, "Grandfather, the odds for a newcomer like me should be very high at the beginning. So, based on the actual situation, place as many Gold Soul Coins as possible without making it too outrageous."

"Early on, I will cooperate with you as well. I will drag out the battles as much as possible and pretend I only won after giving it everything I had."

Hearing that.

Niu Gao could not help teasing, "You brat really have no shortage of sneaky ideas."

"Fine, Grandfather understands. Just focus on competing and cultivating from now on. Leave everything else alone. I'll arrange it all."

In the blink of an eye.

Jin Feng had already been in Compass City for three months.

He was now eight years old, with level 26 Soul Power. The Golden Horned Behemoth's normal size had grown to ten meters, and he had completed fifty-nine Soul Fighting matches in Compass City's Great Soul Arena without a single loss.

After three months of development.

The people and Soul Masters of Compass City all knew that a mysterious and exceptionally powerful two-ring weapon martial soul genius called "Blade Demon" had arrived at the Great Soul Arena in the city center, achieving fifty-nine consecutive victories.

During the first dozen or so Soul Fighting matches.

Everyone believed that the Soul Master codenamed "Blade Demon" had merely been lucky.

Many times, he seemed certain to lose, yet he would always find an incredibly tricky angle at the last moment and turn the tables.

However.

As his winning streak continued to rise.

When people discovered that "Blade Demon" hardly used Soul Skills except for the finishing blow, they finally understood that he had not been lucky at all. He had been hiding his strength all along.

Later.

When "Blade Demon" achieved twenty consecutive victories.

News spread that he had advanced from an Iron Soul Badge with zero points to a Silver Soul Badge within one month.

Every two-ring Soul Master in Compass City could no longer sit still. Even knowing that he had been hiding his strength, they still threw themselves into it, hoping to stop Blade Demon's streak and make a name for themselves.

But unfortunately.

Their little bit of strength was simply nothing before Jin Feng. Every time, they arrived brimming with confidence and left with their heads hanging.

Today.

It was Jin Feng's sixtieth one-on-one Soul Fighting match since arriving at Compass City's Great Soul Arena.

If he won.

He would achieve the astonishing feat of winning all sixty Soul Fighting matches over three months, advancing directly from an Iron Soul Badge with zero points to a Gold Soul Fighting Badge.

And today's opponent.

Was a level 33 Soul Elder with a Silver Soul Badge, specially arranged by the Great Soul Arena.

On one side was the mysterious genius Blade Demon, who had achieved fifty-nine consecutive victories as a level 26 Soul Grandmaster. On the other was a Silver Soul Badge holder with Soul Power six levels higher than Blade Demon's.

The hype for this Soul Fighting match was through the roof. As soon as the news was released, all tickets sold out within an hour.

Therefore.

The spectator stands of the Soul Fighting arena today.

Had been filled early with Soul Masters and ordinary citizens from Compass City.

Even the Great Soul Arena staff member who had handled Jin Feng's registration three months ago was among them, watching Jin Feng on the platform with anticipation written across his face. Jin Feng wore a mask, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his bearing outstanding.

Three months ago.

He had thought Jin Feng was talking nonsense.

Who would have thought that Jin Feng could win fifty-nine Soul Fighting matches in a row? Thinking back on Jin Feng's words then, he still did not believe anyone could win a thousand consecutive matches, but he inexplicably felt that Jin Feng might create a miracle.

Dong~

As the agreed time arrived.

The referee of the Great Soul Arena appeared as scheduled.

Holding a microphone, he stood on the Soul Fighting Platform with an excited expression. He waved to the spectators in the stands as he announced, "Welcome, everyone, to No. 1 Soul Fighting Platform of Compass City's Great Soul Arena for today's spectacular Soul Fighting match."

"Today's two protagonists are no strangers to any of you. One is our old friend, Iron Spear, a level 33 Soul Elder and holder of a Silver Soul Badge."

"And the other is the recently rising talented Soul Master Blade Demon, who achieved the astonishing record of fifty-nine wins and zero losses with the cultivation of a level 26 Soul Grandmaster."

"So today, will our old friend Iron Spear add another victory and end Blade Demon's winning streak, or will the talented Soul Master Blade Demon overcome a six-level Soul Power gap, defeat a level 33 Soul Elder as a level 26 Soul Grandmaster, achieve sixty consecutive victories, and break the current record for the fastest advancement to a Gold Soul Fighting Badge?"

"Let us wait and see."

"Now, I announce."

"The Soul Fighting match begins!"
