Mad Battle Team

The Mad Battle Team was not only wild and brutal in the Soul Arena, but also used despicable methods off the field.

They often liked to provoke their opponents, first disrupting their emotions and causing them to perform poorly in the Soul Arena.

Second, they liked using such methods to obtain information about their opponents.

As the Emperor Team's instructor, Qin Ming had long obtained detailed intelligence on the Mad Battle Team.

Naturally, he knew of the Mad Battle Team's underhanded tactics, so he had instructed the Emperor Team members early on not to leave the lounge after finishing today's one-on-one and two-on-two Soul Battles.

True to their name, the Mad Battle Team's members were all arrogant, but they were not stupid. Provoking others below the stage was one thing, but if they truly dared to go to another team's lounge to stir up trouble and provoke them—

The Soto Great Soul Arena staff would throw them straight out before the Emperor Team even needed to act. At the very least, they would be barred from Soul Battles for a month.

The Mad Battle Team was not a local team of the Soto Great Soul Arena. They had previously fought at the Great Soul Arena in Barak City.

However, their reputation was so poor that no one was willing to fight them, which was why they had come to Suotuo City.

Though they had only been in Suotuo City for three days, they had already achieved three consecutive victories. Moreover, judging from their performances, they had clearly done so with ease, enough to show how powerful they were.

At this moment, in the Emperor Team's lounge, Qin Ming was holding the Mad Battle Team's intelligence report and holding a meeting with the Emperor Team.

Qin Ming had already finished introducing the Mad Battle Team members' information to everyone.

His serious gaze swept across every team member present. "Although they have only been in Suotuo City for three days, they have already fought three team battles and won them all.

"Furthermore, according to my observations, they did not use their true strength in any of those three matches. In other words, their actual strength may be even more frightening than their stated levels suggest.

"And according to information from Barak City, they seem to possess some kind of berserk Soul Skill that can comprehensively enhance their attributes and combat power during battle.

"If you are not careful, you will definitely suffer a major loss."

"So." Qin Ming emphasized his tone. "For tonight's team battle, I hope every one of you gives it your full attention.

"Do not let your guard down just because we have achieved good results in Suotuo City.

"The opponents here will not go easy on you because of your backgrounds, especially the Mad Battle Team. They are known for their ruthless methods, and back in Barak City, they had even crippled opponents before."

He paused, then turned his gaze toward Ning Chen, who was sitting in the corner. "Benqi, do you want to participate in this match?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ning Chen.

Ning Chen shook his head, his tone calm. "Although the Mad Battle Team's fighting style is wild, their highest Soul Power Level is only thirty-seven. As long as Yu Tianheng and the others respond carefully and do not underestimate them or rush in recklessly, there is no way they will lose this match. There is no need for me to take the field."

Qin Ming nodded and did not try to persuade him further.

He had only asked casually in the first place, wanting to see whether Ning Chen was interested in stretching his limbs a little.

"Fine, then we will fight with the original lineup." Qin Ming put away the materials and began arranging their tactics.

Sitting in the corner, Ning Chen appeared to be listening to Qin Ming's tactical arrangements, but his thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

Recently, he had gathered quite a bit of interesting intelligence at the Soto Great Soul Arena.

What caught Ning Chen's attention the most was a team called the Shrek Seven Devils, which had begun to make a name for itself at the Soto Great Soul Arena.

Disguised, Ning Chen had watched several of the Shrek Seven Devils' battles.

Although the Shrek Seven Devils' overall cultivation was not particularly high at present, they had already gradually begun to reveal their sharp edge.

Tang San in particular was extremely keen at grasping battle opportunities.

Since their debut, the Shrek Seven Devils had never lost a team battle. Their own strength was one factor.

More importantly, Tang San commanded from the center, repeatedly turning crises that could very well have ended in defeat into safety, ultimately securing victory.

It had to be said that although God King Tang was rather hypocritical, his performance in Soul Land I was still commendable.

However, Ning Chen did not particularly care about God King Tang, who was still in his growth stage. What he cared about most was Ning Rongrong.

When Ning Chen first saw that dazzling Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from afar in the audience stands, the fingers hidden inside his sleeve unconsciously clenched.

It was because of Ning Rongrong that the original owner had died.

After accepting Qian Renxue's recruitment, Ning Chen had also secretly investigated information about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had thought that after the original owner's death, Ning Rongrong would at least receive some punishment.

Yet the information Ning Chen uncovered filled him with boundless fury.

The original owner's cause of death had absolutely nothing to do with Ning Rongrong. Ning Fengzhi had merely brushed it off as an attack by a Fallen Soul Master.

And Ning Rongrong had not received any meaningful punishment either. She had been symbolically confined for a time, yet before the confinement period was even over, she had made a fuss and Ning Fengzhi had directly let her out.

This enraged Ning Chen at Ning Fengzhi's favoritism, while also making him resolve that Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi had to pay the price they deserved!

Just as Ning Chen had expected, the battle between the Emperor Team and the Mad Battle Team ultimately ended in victory.

Because of Ning Chen's addition, the Emperor Team members had all cultivated more diligently than before.

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan had already broken through to level forty, though they had yet to hunt Soul Rings.

The others' cultivation was also slightly stronger than in the original story during the same period.

Ning Chen's apparent cultivation had also reached level forty-nine, only a step away from breaking through to Soul King.

Having defeated the Mad Battle Team, the Emperor Team obtained the Silver Soul Badge for team battles as they had wished. Their goal achieved, Qin Ming had already decided to leave Suotuo City soon.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed. If nothing unexpected happened, today would be the Emperor Team's final team battle.

And the team they would face was none other than the Shrek Seven Devils!

Soto Great Soul Arena, VIP lounge area, VIP Room Number Three.

This was the Emperor Team's lounge.

As the team of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the Emperor Team naturally did not lack money, so their lounge was exceptionally luxurious.

Not only did it cover more than two hundred square meters, it was furnished with leather sofas, crystal tea tables, golden palace lamps, and everything else imaginable. It was truly resplendent in gold and jade.

At this moment, all eight members of the Emperor Team, including Ning Chen, were chatting and joking around.

Yu Feng and Osler were the most active. The two played off each other, livening up the atmosphere of the entire Emperor Team.

Even Ning Chen, who had always been sparing with words, spoke a few more sentences amid such an atmosphere.

However, although Yu Feng and Osler chatted and joked around, they did not dare joke too much with Ning Chen.

First, Ning Chen's strength was overwhelming, making him unquestionably the strongest among the eight.

Second, Ning Chen usually acted cold and aloof, but if someone truly provoked him, he would definitely give them a "friendly" sparring session that would make them regret ever offending him.

At present, only Ye Lingling dared sit close to Ning Chen, which also made Yu Feng, Osler, and the Shi brothers abandon any thoughts of provoking Ye Lingling.
