Lin Kong left, Shrek Seven Devils were formed.
The first phase involved practical combat followed by criticism from Yu Xiaogang, then physical training. As expected, Zhao Wuji switched to using Gravity Enhancement Soul Skill instead of carrying weights, lasting for three months. The second phase involved the Shrek Seven Devils practicing in the Great Soul Arena. Their team battles were somewhat weaker than in the original story, resulting in several more losses, lasting for one month.
They faced a truly formidable opponent: the Imperial Fighting Team. Fourteen members entered the Soul Fighting Arena, and the Shrek students frowned as one of the Imperial Fighting Team members appeared dressed in black with a hood.
Tang San pointed a finger and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Hehe!" The other person laughed, the voice sounding somewhat familiar, causing the Shrek Seven Devils' expressions to change slightly. They stared intently at him, several of them with anticipation and surprise in their eyes.
The hood slowly pulled back, revealing a handsome and familiar face—it was Lin Kong. A slight smile played on his lips, and his voice was magnetic. "You... want to fight me?"
Lin Kong is actually a member of the Imperial Fighting Team!
What happened in those four months?
Lin Kong left Shrek Academy, stood below the gate, and looked up at the plaque.
These past few days have been... wonderful!
On the first day, he had a one-on-one fight with Tang San, gave Oscar and Ning Rongrong some advice, and went to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena.
The next day, everyone went to Suotuo City to shop and renovate their dorm room.
On the third day, they faced off against Ye Zhiqiu in a team battle.
On the fourth day, they encountered Meng Yiran and the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.
Day 5, Day 6...
On the seventh day, the Titan Giant Ape appeared and killed the Man Faced Demon Spider.
On the eighth day, he successfully absorbed the Eight Spider Lances, but lost Ah Yin.
Day 9, Day 10...
On the eleventh day, I returned to Shrek, rested for a day, and thought I could...
Today is the twelfth day, and I'm about to... leave!
Lin Kong took one last look at the Shrek signboard, turned and left. The morning sun shone on him, casting a long shadow. He left Shrek a step behind.
Lin Kong stepped into the streets of Suotuo City, raised his hand and flipped it open, taking out a folded map from his Storage Soul Tool. Several points were marked on the map with a red pen, all of which were the locations of pharmacies.
In each of the marked pharmacies, there was one thing he needed— Whale Rubber.
He wanted to buy it before, but he was short of money; later, he made a fortune at the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena, but he was too busy with the Shrek Academy matters to have the time.
Now he can finally shop without any worries.
Lin Kong stuffed the map back into his Storage Soul Tool, flipped his palm, and a pure black cloak appeared in his hand. With a casual flick, the cloak was steadily draped over his body. The hood was pulled down, covering most of his face, only revealing his taut jawline. After making these disguises, he strode towards the nearest pharmacy.
His plan was clear: first, plunder all the Whale Rubber in the pharmacies of Suotuo City, then stay at the Seven Treasure Hotel, use money to obtain temporary protection from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect —it was safe and reliable there. Once settled, he would take the Whale Rubber, focus on refining its medicinal effects, and enhance his Soul Power.
And so, Lin Kong carried out the plan. Today he plundered Whale Rubber from Suotuo City, and the next day he headed to the next major city to plunder Whale Rubber again.
More than half a month later, the effects of the Whale Rubber stopped working on him, and Lin Kong's Soul Power increased from level 24 to level 25. At the same time, he arrived at his destination, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire - Heaven Dou City.
Upon arriving in this bustling metropolis, Lin Kong naturally settled down at the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena.
He has Silver Soul Badge as proof, but no official identification. Long ago, he deliberately discarded everything that could prove his identity, and now he is a complete "illegal immigrant."
"Hello sir, what kind of service do you need?" At the reception desk of the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena, the staff member asked politely with a professional smile.
Lin Kong flicked his wrist, and the Silver Soul Badge appeared in his palm. He handed the badge over, lowering his voice as he said, "This is my first time here."
The staff member took the Silver Soul Badge, glanced at it, and immediately verified its authenticity. His polite smile transformed into one of genuine warmth and respect, as he deferentially handed the badge back to Lin Kong, bowing and gesturing, "Sir, hello, please come this way."
"Hmm." Lin Kong responded lightly and followed the staff member inside.
The staff led him directly around the long queue and toward the viewing window.
Most of the Soul Master in line were already hot-tempered, and when they saw someone blatantly cutting in line, some of them immediately started to complain.
"Are you kidding me? How can someone cut in line like this?"
"Why should he? Who is this guy? Why is he acting so high and mighty?"
"Exactly! Does your Great Soul Arena even have any rules?"
The staff member stopped and bowed apologetically to Lin Kong, saying respectfully, "Sir, I'm sorry to have upset you."
After saying this, his expression turned cold, his sharp gaze sweeping over the noisy, queuing crowd, and he spoke clearly, word by word:
"This gentleman is a holder of the Silver Soul Badge, which grants him priority privileges. This is a rule of the Great Soul Arena, applicable to all Great Soul Arena in all cities across the continent."
Upon hearing this, the previously noisy crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone shut their mouths, and their eyes were filled with awe as they looked at Lin Kong.
The Iron Soul Badge is the most basic level, obtained upon registration; the Bronze Soul Fighter Badge is attainable by any Soul Master with a modicum of strength; but the Silver Soul Badge is absolute proof of power!
Almost every holder of the Silver Soul Badge has a record of more than ten consecutive wins, and many of them are even formidable figures with twenty or thirty consecutive wins, demonstrating terrifying strength!
Faced with such a powerful figure, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.
The staff member looked at Lin Kong and politely asked, "Sir, do you have any requirements for your next opponent?"
Here's the thing: Lin Kong arrived here with the Silver Soul Badge and immediately gained various privileges. So, in return, he naturally has to participate in a Soul Fighting. It's a win-win situation for both of us!
Right?
Choosing an opponent is also a privilege granted by the Great Soul Arena, and it's only available to newcomers on their first visit. After all, if the holder of the Silver Soul Badge also has an opponent with Silver Soul Badge, how can this privilege be granted indefinitely?
Lin Kong thought for a moment and quickly came up with an answer, " Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul!"
Upon hearing this, the staff member froze, their gaze towards Lin Kong becoming even more fervent—a fervor born of admiration for a powerful figure. "Yes, sir, please wait a moment!"
