Qing-Ping Combination

"Teacher, where are we going next?"

Zhu Zhuqing followed at Chen Ping'an's side.

"Uh, I don't know either."

Chen Ping'an shook his head and gave a perfunctory reply, though he had already made plans in his heart.

"Let's go to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena first. You just broke through, so you need some battles there to consolidate your strength."

Just as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, the system's notification sounded.

Ding. New main quest: Achieve 1,000 consecutive victories at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena with Soul Power at Level 45.

Reward for completing the quest: one 100,000 Year Soul Ring.

"Come on, man. A thousand consecutive wins, and the reward is only one 100,000 Year Soul Ring? That's way too stingy!"

Chen Ping'an was speechless. He had never seen such a heartless system.

Host, this 100,000 Year Soul Ring can be attached to yourself or to another Soul Master, and it can grow.

Besides, Host, with your strength, getting 1,000 consecutive wins in the Level 40 bracket would be effortless.

"It may be effortless, but it's exhausting!!!"

As a qualified member of the post-2000 generation, Chen Ping'an would slack off whenever he could, unless he was annoyed and wanted to find someone to beat up.

Otherwise, he did whatever he wanted and avoided moving whenever possible.

As Zhu Zhuqing is your disciple, every three victories she achieves will count as one victory for you. In addition, a victory in a team battle will count as three victories.

"Now that's more like it."

Only after hearing the system make concessions did Chen Ping'an nod in satisfaction. Otherwise, winning a thousand matches by himself would exhaust him to death.

"Xiao Zhu, hold on tight. I'll teleport us straight to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena."

"Ah!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, Chen Ping'an grabbed her and teleported them to the outside of the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.

The sudden teleportation put a heavy strain on Zhu Zhuqing, and she nearly vomited.

"Teacher, you're amazing!"

Zhu Zhuqing could not help giving him a thumbs-up. Only Chen Ping'an could do something like this, and she was glad she had made the right choice back then.

They had already registered at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena. Once they entered and recorded their information again, they could be directly assigned a match.

After arriving, Chen Ping'an and Zhu Zhuqing rested for a while, waiting to act after nightfall.

After entering the room, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively pinned up her hair. Every movement was practiced and skillful.

Compared to the previous two times, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer shy or stiff in her movements.

Night fell.

The Suotuo City Great Soul Arena repeated its nightly bustle as crowds streamed in from every direction.

As the most traditional form of entertainment, it drew many spectators every day. More came in hopes of making a profit.

The rich became even richer here,

and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

As for commoners without much money, they could still watch Soul Master matches. If they were lucky, they might even earn a year's living expenses from them.

Of course, where there was profit, there were drawbacks; where there were losses, there were wins.

Those with poor luck could lose a year's living expenses here, or even ten years' worth or more.

Naturally, commoners could only afford low-priced tickets, and those tickets allowed them to watch only ordinary Spirit Arena Competitions, where there was no room for manipulation.

As for the wealthy tycoons who spent money freely, they could watch truly exciting Spirit Arena Competitions.

Some wealthy families specifically supported powerful fighters to earn them enough profits at the Great Soul Arena, turning it into a battleground between the rich and the nobility.

By now, after their passionate encounter, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power had reached Level 48.

Although the increase was not large, it would play a crucial role in the battles ahead.

After freshening up and arranging her appearance, Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the 2v2 Spirit Arena Zone.

Chen Ping'an and Zhu Zhuqing had already discussed it. The two of them would work together and sweep up all the victories.

Of course, if Chen Ping'an fought three matches alone, he could only accumulate three wins. But if he fought three matches together with Zhu Zhuqing, he could accumulate four wins.

At that rate, they would be able to complete the quest faster.

Since it was the weekend, the Great Soul Arena had an especially large audience today.

"Now, please welcome the newly arrived Ping An Combination! This rookie duo has just registered, and both possess Level 48 strength. They are already among the finest Soul Ancestors. How many consecutive victories will this powerful duo achieve in the arena? Let us wait and see!"

"Next, please welcome the Kingly Overlord Duo, who have already achieved 4 Consecutive Wins! The Kingly Overlord Duo consists of two Level 45 brothers with exceptional coordination. When they work together, even Level 47 duos are no match for them!"

"Please welcome both sides to the arena!"

Judging by the name Kingly Overlord Duo, their opponents had to be two musclemen.

Soon, amid enthusiastic applause and cheers, the Kingly Overlord Duo made their grand entrance.

They were two Soul Masters, both broad and powerfully built, appearing to be around fifty years old.

Though both were over fifty, they were handsome, with perfectly proportioned muscular physiques. The moment they appeared, they drew plenty of cheers.

After the Kingly Overlord Duo entered, it was Chen Ping'an and Zhu Zhuqing's turn to step onto the stage.

"So they're just two youngsters? Hahaha! They're so young, they definitely don't have any combat experience. My brother and I are taking our fifth consecutive win tonight!"

When the brothers first heard that their opponents were Level 48, they had been startled.

But now that they saw how young the two were, so what if they were Level 48?

With their domineering combat experience, they could utterly crush them.

"You two youngsters look so delicate. You'd better surrender now. Otherwise, if we cripple you later or even ruin your faces, that won't be good."

The Kingly Overlord Duo began taunting before the match had even started, drawing laughter from the audience.

In their eyes, Chen Ping'an and Zhu Zhuqing were disciples of wealthy families or nobles who had come here to train. Their Soul Power Levels might be high, but they had no real combat experience.

However, what greeted them was Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Rings.

Two yellow, one purple, and one black. When those four Soul Rings lit up, the entire arena fell silent. Even the Kingly Overlord Duo was stunned.

A 10,000 Year Soul Ring!

Even with a 10,000 Year Soul Ring, this was far too terrifying.

"Heh, so what if you have a 10,000 Year Soul Ring? It's nothing but an empty display."

As soon as the Kingly Overlord Duo finished speaking, they revealed their own Soul Rings as well.

One white, one yellow, and two purple.

Their Soul Ring configuration was mediocre at best.

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing's, the two brothers instantly felt inferior.

The difference was simply too great.

Still, they should have counted themselves lucky that Chen Ping'an had not revealed his Soul Rings.

Otherwise, they would have wet themselves on the spot.
