The Battle Over the Barbecue Ends, Dai Huabin Appears at the Soul Duel Arena

"But, Nannan, Tang Ya was clearly the one who started talking about me. I was only defending myself." Xu Sanshi had completely different attitudes when facing Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

Beibei gently said to Tang Ya, "Xiao Ya, you should eat dinner first. We were indeed in the wrong to begin with. We're all classmates, so a proper apology will let this matter pass."

"I know. I was in the wrong. I'm sorry." Tang Ya also knew that speaking badly about someone behind their back was wrong. Besides, her best friend Jiang Nannan was right beside her, so she could only apologize.

Xu Sanshi said, "I'll forgive you for Nannan's sake."

Noticing Huo Yuhao and the others grilling meat, Xu Sanshi immediately said to them, "Junior brothers and sisters, Beibei and I will be having a Soul Duel tonight. I'll cover all of your admission fees, so please come support us."

"No need, Senior Xu. We've only just met, so that would be somewhat impolite." Huo Yuhao did not want to waste a favor on such a minor matter that he could handle himself, so he could only decline tactfully.

"Alright, then. I hope you junior brothers and sisters enjoy your meal. Come on, Beibei. Have a few sodas with me."

Since minors were not allowed to drink alcohol, soda could only be used as a substitute on occasions like this.

After saying goodbye to Huo Yuhao and the others, Beibei and Xu Sanshi left with Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.

Huo Yuhao and the others continued stuffing themselves with grilled meat.

Looking at Xue Ningbing's bowl piled high with grilled meat, then at his own completely empty bowl, Wang Dong gritted his teeth in anger.

Wang Dong said, somewhat offended, "Huo Yuhao, I'm accusing you of valuing women over friends!"

"If you've got the ability, grill it yourself. Isn't there some over by Xiao Xiao? Why do you keep chasing after my Yuhao?" When Xue Ningbing said "my Yuhao," she deliberately stressed those two words.

"You!" Xue Ningbing and Wang Dong locked eyes, neither willing to give way.

"Am I just part of you two's play?" What terrible things had Xiao Xiao done in her previous life to suffer such blatant exclusion?

Still, seeing Wang Dong constantly clash with Xue Ningbing, Xiao Xiao felt that they looked like a pair of romantic rivals.

Could Wang Dong like men!?

Was that why Wang Dong kept pursuing Huo Yuhao and couldn't get along with Xue Ningbing?

If that was really the case, did that mean my crush on Wang Dong was hopeless?

Forget it. I'll just wait and see.

If it really doesn't work out in the end, I can always join in too.

After finishing all the meat they had ordered, they left the barbecue restaurant. By then, Beibei and Xu Sanshi had already headed to the Soul Duel Zone's waiting area to make their preparations.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan stayed behind because they were worried Huo Yuhao and the others would not know the way.

Just as they arrived, they happened to run into Huo Yuhao and the others preparing to head for the Soul Duel Zone.

Thus, after reaching an agreement, they set off for the Soul Duel Zone together.

Among all of Shrek's facilities, the Soul Duel Zone could be considered one of the most important. It was mainly located at the northwestern corner of the Martial Soul Department, very close to Shrek City.

Shrek's Soul Duel Zone was a place frequently visited by upper-year students. They could hold all kinds of matches here, with dedicated teachers serving as referees to determine victory and defeat, protect students, and provide treatment.

When it came to money, it had thoroughly inherited the stinginess and miserliness of Shrek's first dean, Flander.

Even these most basic services required additional payment.

No payment, no service.

Aside from those fees, each battle required a venue fee of ten Gold Soul Coins. Those ten Gold Soul Coins were enough to support an ordinary family for several months.

One of the Soul Duel Zone's few benefits was that it could earn students academic credits. Credits earned in the Soul Duel Arena could be used in yearly exams and might even save one's life.

Once students reached the fourth year, they had to come to the Soul Duel Zone regularly to fight.

To advance from the fourth year to the fifth, they needed to win ten matches in the Soul Duel Zone. After that, they needed even more Soul Duel points.

Watching matches in the Soul Duel Zone was not free either. One Silver Soul Coin was required for admission.

News of Xu Sanshi and Beibei's battle had spread long ago. The senior students of the Outer Court were all looking forward to today's fight between the Outer Court's Twin Stars.

As the Outer Court's Twin Stars, Beibei and Xu Sanshi were immensely popular.

Sure enough, not long after Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at the Soul Duel Zone, they saw that nearly six or seven hundred people had already filled the audience seating for almost three thousand spectators. The best seats had basically all been taken.

If not for Jiang Nannan, the senior students who had originally been packed together would never have made way for them.

After paying, they all entered the Soul Duel Zone's spectator stands.

As soon as they entered the stands, they found a relatively remote spot with a clear view of the Soul Duel Arena.

Xiao Xiao said in astonishment, "Isn't this lineup a little too exaggerated?"

Tang Ya thought Xiao Xiao's surprise was perfectly normal. "It's normal, normal. The news has been out for several days already. With Beibei and Xu Sanshi's popularity, I'd guess the crowd will grow even bigger."

Huo Yuhao had no interest in the conversation between the girls. He was currently searching the entire spectator stand for someone.

After arriving in the stands, he had faintly sensed the aura of a White Tiger. Aside from the Dai family, no one else possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul.

He was certain that the White Tiger Martial Soul aura he sensed came from Dai Huabin's White Tiger.

If Dai Huabin was truly among the spectators, then Huo Yuhao would absolutely not let go of this chance to cause Dai Huabin trouble.

He would repay Dai Huabin for all the bullying he had endured during his childhood in his previous life.

Just as Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eye Martial Soul to search for Dai Huabin, Beibei and Xu Sanshi appeared on the competition platform.

The moment Beibei appeared, most of the students in the spectator stands nearly all shouted the name Thunderclap Beibei.

Some senior girls were even infatuated with Beibei, while the cheers on Xu Sanshi's side were obviously much quieter.

The moment the referee finished announcing the start of the match in routine fashion, Beibei released his Martial Soul and entered his Martial Soul Possession state.

And at that very moment, Huo Yuhao finally found his enemy amid the vast crowd—Dai Huabin!
