Boom—
"Bofeng wins!"
"Bofeng wins!"
"Bofeng wins!"
Over the past few days, Bofeng had swept every battle at the Vast Sea Grand Soul Fighting Arena.
Xiao Bai had made a killing from it. Her funds had risen from forty thousand Gold Soul Coins to five hundred and fifty thousand—more than tenfold.
Today was Bofeng's final match at the Vast Sea Grand Soul Fighting Arena, because Purple Pearl had arrived with her people.
The large ship was docked at the pier. Bofeng, Xiao Bai, and Purple Pearl stood there, watching as the cargo was continuously unloaded. Everything was ready; all that remained was to head for Heaven Dou City.
"Purple Pearl, there's no time to lose. Set off for Heaven Dou City at once. These are the coordinates for Heaven Dou City. We'll meet up in the city." Bofeng handed the map to Purple Pearl.
Purple Pearl glanced at the map. After bidding Bofeng and Xiao Bai farewell, she led the wagons loaded with goods slowly toward Heaven Dou City.
Purple Pearl was a Spirit Emperor, so Bofeng was not worried about anyone robbing them along the way. Besides, these former pirates were no pushovers; their combat abilities were exceptionally strong.
With them handling the transport, Bofeng was at ease.
Watching Purple Pearl depart, Xiao Bai asked, "Brother Feng, shall we set off too? Have you planned the route?"
"Starting from Vast Sea City, we'll pass through several small cities before reaching Heaven Dou City. At our pace, it'll take at least three days."
With no time to waste, Bofeng and Xiao Bai set off as well, taking a different road from Purple Pearl and the others.
They enjoyed the sights and had fun along the way, living quite happily.
Heaven Dou City was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire and had a long history. As one of the most prosperous cities on the continent, trading goods there could earn them a considerable amount of Gold Soul Coins.
The city was liveliest at night, brightly lit as pedestrians streamed up and down the streets.
This was Silvis City, part of the Silvis Kingdom.
After two days of travel, Xiao Bai and Bofeng had drawn very close to Heaven Dou City. They planned to stay here for the night and strive to reach their destination before nightfall tomorrow.
It was the first time either of them had come to the continent. For the past eleven years, all they had known was the sea.
Oh, sea! Oh, sea! You're nothing but fucking water!
After booking a room at an inn, Xiao Bai lay on the soft bed and let out a long sigh.
"I'm so tired! The continent is just too much fun. I'm starting to not want to go back to Sea God Island," Xiao Bai sighed.
Just as Xiao Bai had said, there were many things on the continent that Bofeng was seeing for the first time. The scenery along the way had truly been a feast for their eyes.
"Sister Bai, want to go for a walk?" Bofeng suggested. It was still early.
Xiao Bai shook her head. "No. We've been on the road all day, and my legs are killing me. Go take a look around by yourself. Remember, don't cause any trouble."
Bofeng nodded, then left the room, went downstairs, and walked alone through the streets.
Every city on the continent was massive, with dazzling goods and all kinds of snacks.
As Bofeng passed an alley, he noticed that it was deserted and had clearly been abandoned for a long time.
As he walked, he caught a faint scent of blood, coming from not far ahead.
He could vaguely hear a child crying as well. His instincts told him that something must have happened.
"Go die!"
Massive fists rained down. Seven burly, vicious-looking men stood there, clad in heavy armor. The chains wrapped around their hands were stained with blood.
The man before them was covered in blood, his breath growing weaker as he hovered on the verge of death.
In front of the badly wounded man, a little girl stood in the way of the seven burly men, forcing them to stop their assault.
"Get the hell out of the way, or I'll beat you too!" One of the men roared at the little girl. The overwhelming pressure around him nearly made her lose her footing.
"You're not allowed to hit my father!" The little girl's expression did not change. Her gaze was resolute as she stood before the seven men, fury raging in her heart.
The man being beaten was her father. He lightly patted his daughter's small right shoulder and said weakly, "Nannan, leave this place quickly. Your father is useless."
"Hmph!" The leader, with an iron chain wrapped around his hand, snorted coldly. "You dared to run? When are you going to pay the ten Gold Soul Coins you owe us?"
"Ten Gold Soul Coins?" The injured man's pupils contracted as he trembled. "Wasn't it one Gold Soul Coin? How did it become ten? You... cough, cough, cough..."
"To chase you down, the seven of us brothers put in quite a bit of effort. When we beat you, your blood got on us. The seven of us don't have many hobbies—we just like being clean. Our clothes got stained with your blood. Shouldn't you compensate us?" The man smiled, but his gaze turned cold.
"You... you're being completely unreasonable! I'm going to report you to the Silvis Grand Arena!" the man roared. It took all his strength, and his injuries only worsened.
"Report us?" The seven men exchanged glances.
Then, the seven burst into laughter.
Just then, Bofeng arrived nearby and took in everything that had happened. Loan sharking like this was far from uncommon, and he despised people like them.
"Report us?" The man laughed. "We, the Fierce God Team, are stars of the Silvis Grand Arena. Over the years, we've earned the Grand Arena who knows how much profit."
"You think they'll care about a trivial matter like this? You're just a lowly commoner. They won't even spare you a glance."
Fierce God Team?
Bofeng was slightly stunned. Wasn't that the most notorious team in the Silvis Grand Arena? Their methods were cruel, and every soul fighting match ended in death or serious injury. Each time, many soul masters lost their lives for nothing.
Yet afterward, nothing ever came of it.
Too many interests were involved. The Fierce God Team could provide those nobles with substantial profits. Under that protective umbrella, they had become increasingly brazen.
Later, they had been killed by the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in a battle against Tang San and the others.
He had not expected to run into them by chance during this stroll.
"How about this?" The leading man gave a wicked smile as his clawed hand reached for the little girl.
"I'll give you three more days. If you can't offer up ten Gold Soul Coins with both hands after three days, then give us this little girl instead. Don't worry, we'll sell her for a good price."
"To keep you father and daughter from running, we'll take her away first. In three days, you hand over the money, and we'll return your daughter."
As he spoke, the man rubbed his hands together, his evil claws slowly reaching toward the little girl.
Her father used the last of his strength to shield his daughter tightly.
Suddenly, a streak of Blue Light flashed past, and a Trident fell between the two sides. Its immense aura instantly forced the seven men back.
