Soul Arena, Crushing Those of the Same Rank!

"The Great Soul Arena is where real fights take place. If you're not careful, serious injuries—and even death—are commonplace!"

Xue Qinghe looked at Luo Fan seriously, his eyes openly revealing a trace of concern.

"I'm a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster now. It's time I gained some practical combat experience!" Luo Fan replied.

With Hashirama Senju's template, he shouldn't be like a flower growing in a greenhouse.

After all, Hashirama Senju in the original story had also fought his way through the battlefields of the Warring States period from childhood.

So far, he had fought several times.

But aside from his battle with the Nightmare Bat in Star Dou Forest, which had been a real fight, the others had actually been little more than playtime!

For example, when he fought Tang San at Notting Academy, he had either used his powerful physique to crush his opponent outright.

Or, when facing Blue Silver Entanglement, since he knew he could use Wood Clone to break through it, he often couldn't even be bothered to dodge.

Even after being bound, he had been too lazy to struggle more than a few times.

That was because Luo Fan knew that once he used Wood Clone, he could overwhelm his opponent with numbers. Even if he was restrained, it wouldn't matter.

And when he sparred with Yu Tianheng a few days ago, he had mainly released Wood Clones and had each of them use Rasengan, forcing his opponent to back down!

When he thought about it, Luo Fan felt that he was still seriously lacking in practical combat methods.

"Mm. Then be careful. When it's time to admit defeat, admit defeat!"

Hearing what Luo Fan said, Xue Qinghe understood that he had a point, but still reminded him uneasily.

Afterward, Xue Qinghe practiced climbing trees in the courtyard by stepping along the courtyard wall. He asked a few detailed questions about cultivating the ability to climb trees before finally leaving with Oscar.

The next day, Luo Fan directly sent a Wood Clone to attend classes at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After all, he still needed to know some basic knowledge.

As for Luo Fan himself, he went out with Xiao Wu and headed toward the Great Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City.

At the academy, Dugu Yan sat beside Luo Fan and carefully scrutinized him.

"Classmate Dugu, why are you staring at me?" Luo Fan asked in confusion after being watched by Dugu Yan like that.

"Why are you obediently sitting here for class today? In the past, didn't you leave a clone behind while your main body went to cultivate in the mimicry environment?" Dugu Yan asked in confusion after seeing Luo Fan sit down as soon as he entered the classroom.

"Exactly, exactly! Luo Fan, your Clone Technique is practically a divine skill. If only I could use it too! Then I could leave a clone here for class and go do whatever I wanted!" Shi Mo said beside him, looking as though he was crying with envy.

They were all young, after all, and hardly any of them were willing to sit patiently in the classroom.

After Shi Mo said that, the other students in the classroom also looked over and nodded in agreement!

"What makes you think I'm not a Wood Clone right now?" Luo Fan looked at Dugu Yan and replied.

"Huh? You're a Wood Clone right now? Then did your main body go straight to the mimicry environment?"

Hearing Luo Fan's words, Dugu Yan carefully examined him from head to toe!

This Wood Clone was truly miraculous no matter how she looked at it. There was practically no difference between it and Luo Fan at all.

"No. I'm not cultivating at the academy today." Luo Fan shook his head.

"Y-you didn't even come to school? Isn't that skipping class?" Yu Tianheng, who was sitting nearby, couldn't help turning his head to ask.

"My Wood Clone can transmit everything it hears at school—even its cultivation progress—back to my main body. How can that count as skipping class?" Luo Fan retorted.

Yu Tianheng: "..."

Yu Tianheng's mouth twitched, and he was completely speechless.

He could only silently grumble inwardly: Wood Clone really is a cheat-like power. It's infuriating!

He had to suffer through boring theoretical lessons in the classroom every day, while someone else only needed to send over a clone. He didn't even have to come to school himself.

Why didn't he have a clone-type soul skill?!

Meanwhile, Luo Fan was already standing on the arena platform of the Great Soul Arena!

"Ha, kid, the Great Soul Arena isn't a place for someone your age. You should go to school and study for a few more years first!" The man standing before Luo Fan looked physically robust as he spoke.

"What the heck? Even a child is entering the Soul Arena now?"

"I can't bear to watch. Just in terms of size, Rock Bear completely overwhelms that kid, doesn't he?"

"This is truly a completely one-sided soul fight!"

The spectators surrounding the arena saw that Luo Fan, a child of only six or seven years old, had actually stepped onto the platform and couldn't help discussing it among themselves.

"Brother Fan, good luck!!!"

Xiao Wu cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly toward Luo Fan on the arena.

Naturally, she was filled with confidence in Luo Fan!

"The soul fight begins now!"

Although the host couldn't bear to see a child like this enter the arena, his professionalism still forced him to announce the start through gritted teeth.

Boom!

The burly man opposite Luo Fan immediately revealed his martial soul.

The phantom of a bear appeared behind him, accompanied by one white and one yellow Soul Ring!

"My martial soul is Rock Bear, and I'm a Level 22 Soul Grandmaster!" the man announced to Luo Fan in his rough voice.

Luo Fan raised his hand, and the Blue Silver Grass martial soul appeared, accompanied by two purple Soul Rings!

"My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I'm a Level 24 Soul Grandmaster!" Luo Fan imitated his opponent and announced as well.

"Wow! That child is also a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster? And his Soul Power Level is actually two levels higher than Rock Bear's?"

"H-how did he cultivate to this level? Don't ordinary people have to wait until after the age of twenty to reach Level 20 or higher?"

"Two purple Soul Rings? W-where did this monster come from?!"

As Luo Fan revealed his martial soul and Soul Rings, the spectators who had initially been rooting against him were all stunned!

Even Rock Bear, standing opposite Luo Fan, froze. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

The Blue Silver Grass rapidly grew, and a Wood Clone appeared immediately afterward, charging toward Rock Bear!

Rock Bear also immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, rapidly increasing his strength!

Bang, bang, bang!

However, although Luo Fan's Wood Clone looked like a child as well, its physical strength was even more astonishing. After only a few moves, Rock Bear was kicked in the lower back by the Wood Clone and sent flying off the arena!

Over the course of one day, Luo Fan fought a total of seven battles at the Great Soul Arena. Every opponent had been a Soul Grandmaster of the same rank as him, and Luo Fan only needed to release one Wood Clone to defeat them. With seven consecutive victories, he quickly made a name for himself in the Great Soul Arena!

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Fan finally left the Great Soul Arena with Xiao Wu. On the way, they bought some salt and other household necessities.

After all, they had used up all the salt while stir-frying dishes the previous night!

"Huh? Luo Fan!? What are you doing in Heaven Dou City?" However, just as Luo Fan and Xiao Wu finished their shopping and were heading home, a surprised voice suddenly rang out...
