Wang Dong'er was completely stunned when she saw the scene before her.
Having studied and lived in Shrek for so many years, she was naturally no stranger to the Great Beast Fighting Arena within it. Conducting actual combat confrontations against soul beasts captured and raised by the academy in the Beast Arena was a compulsory course and an important assessment content for the Outer Court students.
The soul beasts kept in captivity inside the Great Beast Fighting Arena were mainly Hundred-Year Soul Beasts and Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and even the ones with the highest cultivation were merely at the ten-thousand-year level, which had long since ceased to be opponents for the Outer Court students.
These soul beasts were all captured alive and brought back from the Star Dou Great Forest by the person in charge of the Beast Fighting Arena, the Beast King Gong Changlong, personally leading a team.
To ensure the effectiveness of the assessments, most of the soul beasts in the Beast Fighting Arena were of fiercer temperaments. Furthermore, during their live capture, it was necessary to ensure they remained uninjured while also ensuring their fighting spirit remained ferocious, making it considerably more difficult than simply killing them.
However, being able to serve as the person in charge of the Great Beast Fighting Arena, Elder Gong, Gong Changlong, had a cultivation that had also reached Titled Douluo. No matter how fierce the soul beasts were, they were all disciplined into complete docility under his hands.
Keeping soul beasts in captivity, especially fierce beasts like tigers and bears, incurred costs dozens of times greater than horses and cattle. The massive amount of meat required daily for just over a hundred soul beasts alone was a staggering expense, and only a Shrek as wealthy as a nation could afford it.
