The group entered the Great Soul Arena, and the first thing they saw was a stone stele engraved with countless names.

"Those names are all dead people. They died in Death Duels at the Soul Arena."

Seeing Tang San and the others curiously looking at the stele, Bai Yu immediately dealt them a devastating blow.

He then turned and called over an attendant, taking out an exquisite Diamond Medal.

"Arrange a private room for us! Little Bai, take them to register their identities, then come find us in the private room."

"Yes, esteemed Diamond Medal holder, please follow me!"

The attendant stared at the medal in Bai Yu's hand, astonishment appearing in his eyes.

As the Great Soul Arena's highest achievement, a Diamond Medal holder enjoyed many privileges here, and private rooms were one of them.

The private room had two floor-to-ceiling windows, enough to overlook the entire arena.

Following Bai Yu and Flender, Ma Hongjun was the first to arrive at the private room. He immediately rushed toward the snacks and fruit on the coffee table.

"It really has to be Bai Ge. Coming with you is on a whole different level. When I came before, forget private rooms—even seats in the main hall had to be fought over!"

Flender shot Ma Hongjun a glare and said irritably, "Even eating can't shut your mouth. Wait here. I'm heading out first."

Bai Yu smiled as he watched Flender hurry out.

"The Dean's going to place bets again? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"

Flender's face turned slightly awkward as he said to Bai Yu, "Can't you hope for something good for me, brat?"

Once everyone had gathered in the private room, there was a knock at the door. A man who looked like a manager entered.

"Honored Lord Hong Ming, welcome to the Suotuo Great Soul Arena. I am Aolun, the supervisor here."

"May I ask whether you wish to participate in a Soul Fight? If so, you may have to wait a long time. Our highest rank here is only Ruby Rank, so we would need to request a match from another Soul Arena."

The supervisor greeted Bai Yu as soon as he entered and explained his purpose, his eyes filled with difficulty.

Bai Yu waved a hand and casually said, "No need. I'm not competing. I just came to watch with them."

"Very well, Lord Hong Ming. I hope you enjoy yourself at the Great Soul Arena!"

The supervisor breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left the private room.

Tang San looked curious as he asked, "Bai Ge, why is your Soul Fight rank so high?"

After all, according to what they had been told, whenever a Soul Master crossed a major rank, they would lose points. It was impossible to keep gaining points without interruption.

Unless a Soul Master went a long time without advancing, but judging from Bai Yu's rank, he clearly had not stayed at the same level for long.

"I know this! I asked Bai Ge before, and Bai Ge gave me three words."

Ma Hongjun immediately jumped out and answered loudly.

"What three words?" Tang San asked.

Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and the others all looked over, curiosity in their expressions.

Ma Hongjun said mysteriously, "Keep winning!"

Tang San and the others were full of question marks. What kind of answer was that?

Bai Yu picked up an apple and took a bite, glancing at the utterly baffled crowd.

"It's simple. You just need to be strong enough. As long as you can be invincible among those of the same rank, you can also earn a Diamond Medal. This thing was designed for people like that in the first place."

Hearing Bai Yu's answer, everyone could only smile bitterly. Tang San's eyes, however, shone brightly. He wanted to see whether he could achieve it too!

As time passed, and the attendants repeatedly called them out, the Shrek group completed their Soul Fights one after another. Aside from Zhu Zhuqing losing to Tang San, everyone else won.

But Dai Mubai's expression was dark, because his victory had been rather embarrassing! His opponent's rank had been very low, only level 31.

His opponent possessed a strange Bamboo Slip Spirit that could synchronize his opponent's movements with his own within a certain range.

But no one knew what Spirit Beast his soul skill came from, because it was actually kowtowing!

The eager-to-show-off Dai Mubai fell for it, and the two ended up bowing to each other like a married couple!

After getting hit by it, Dai Mubai became even more enraged and was controlled several more times in a row, making the surrounding spectators laugh nonstop!

When Dai Mubai finally managed to catch him and wanted revenge, his opponent jumped off the stage and admitted defeat, leaving Dai Mubai with nowhere to vent his anger.

"Little Bai, that was a rather ugly win. Your opponent's soul skill didn't have a large range. It would've been easy to dodge if you'd been more careful. Pay attention next time."

Bai Yu patted Dai Mubai's shoulder and spoke with a righteous air, while inside he was laughing like a pig.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned even colder. Losing to Tang San without any ability to fight back made her feel weak.

As for Dai Mubai, though he had won, it had been an ugly victory. She felt that he had not trained seriously all these years and had only cared about having fun.

She then turned to look at Bai Yu, her expression somewhat dazed.

Bai Yu clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention and said:

"Alright, the Soul Fights are over. What are everyone's plans?"

Ma Hongjun chuckled. "Bai Ge, the Dean told me to make a trip to the shop. Boss Dai, are you coming?"

Dai Mubai snapped irritably, "Get lost. I'm not going!"

Not noticing Dai Mubai's expression, Ma Hongjun continued, "Boss Dai, you said women don't count as people—they count as resources. Take your brother to find some resources!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? When did I ever say that? Hurry up and get lost to find your cheap whores."

Dai Mubai's expression changed as he shouted angrily at Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "Fine, don't go. Putting on the act of a decent man now, huh."

Zhu Zhuqing gave them both a cold look. "Not a single good one among you!"

Dai Mubai's expression instantly became even uglier.

Tang San glanced around and changed the subject. "Where did the Dean go?"

Bai Yu waved his hand. "To collect his money. Don't worry about him! Fatty, go find the Dean."

"If the rest of you have nothing to do, come with me. I'll take you to reserve food at a restaurant, and we'll go back to the academy for a late-night meal."

As the group walked through Suotuo City, Xiao Wu suddenly looked at Bai Yu and asked:

"Bai Ge, Fatty's looking for cheap whores. Why does he have to go to the Dean's shop?"

Bai Yu casually answered her question:

"Fatty's spirit has a problem. The mutation wasn't complete, so if he doesn't find women, he'll easily be consumed by raging fire. I suggested castrating him before, but neither he nor the Dean agreed."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Xiao Wu and the other two, who had not known about the situation, were completely stunned. They had not expected such a spirit to exist, much less that Bai Yu had wanted to castrate someone!

The next day, everyone came to the training ground and waited for Flender to arrive for class. Among them, Dai Mubai's expression was even darker than it had been yesterday.

The reason was that last night, when they returned for their late-night meal, Dai Mubai had gotten into a conflict with Ning Rongrong, who had been called over to eat with them.

Ning Rongrong said that a lecherous tiger could not even handle a woman, and since Dai Mubai was already angry, the two began arguing.

Because Bai Yu had been there, it had not escalated into a major conflict, but Dai Mubai had still been so angry that he did not sleep all night.

"Fatty, are you going out tonight?" Dai Mubai asked as he looked at the refreshed Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun shook his head. "I just dealt with my Evil Fire. I won't need to go out for the next couple of days."

"Is that so? I was thinking of taking you to find some higher-class goods tonight!"

As he spoke, Dai Mubai looked toward Zhu Zhuqing.
