After stepping down from the arena, Qi Ling naturally received a warm welcome from everyone. The crowd, who were initially a little nervous, became excited after watching Qi Ling's match, wishing they could be the next ones to compete.
" Brother Qi, you're amazing!" Xiao Wu hugged Qi Ling and said, "That Lei Laohu was so fierce, and you took him down so easily! You're incredible!"
Ma Hongjun laughed loudly, "Haha, it seems this Gold Soul Fighting isn't all that great after all. I thought he was some kind of expert, but he just got beaten up by Boss Qi like us!"
"You pig-headed idiot, you still have the nerve to complain after getting beaten!" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at Ma Hongjun and said.
"Why would I be embarrassed to say it? I was hung up and beaten by Boss Qi, and so was Boss Qi Gold Soul Fighting. So, rounding up, it just means I'm about the same as Gold Soul Fighting!" Ma Hongjun said shamelessly.
Everyone was furious at Ma Hongjun's twisted logic. Dai Mubai said irritably, "If you were to get beaten up alongside a Titled Douluo, would you dare claim that you're equivalent to Titled Douluo?"
"Well, that's still a long way off." Ma Hongjun thought for a moment, but still didn't dare to make such a big boast.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang said to everyone, " Qi Ling has set a good example for you. All you need to know is that although you may not have the same combat experience as these veterans, in terms of talent, each of you is better than them!"
"Now go and form your own groups and participate in the Soul Fighting. Try to finish everyone's match before today's team competition begins!"
Tang San and Xiao Wu had already formed the Three-Five Combination, and Qi Ling and Ning Rongrong had formed the Qi Le Rongrong Combination, ready to participate in the competition at any time.
As for the remaining few, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were kindred spirits, having been friends for a long time in the red-light district. So, the two of them put their heads together and formed their own "White Horse" duo.
Oscar realized that only he and Zhu Zhuqing were left, so he had no choice but to swallow his pride and step forward, saying, " Zhu Zhuqing, look at us..."
"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, without the slightest hesitation, after all, this was the only option she had left.
"Really? That's great! What should our group name be? Let me think... Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, let's call ourselves..." Oscar excitedly wanted to come up with a name for their group.
"I'm not interested in this. You decide," Zhu Zhuqing said Lingling.
Oscar didn't get a good result, but he didn't care too much. After all, they already knew Zhu Zhuqing's personality.
After registering, Tang San and Xiao Wu soon faced their opponents, a pair of Soul Elder known as the " Cat and Mouse Combination," who had already won many battles and possessed considerable strength.
Everyone originally planned to cheer for Tang San and Xiao Wu, but unexpectedly, the competition information that was subsequently announced included members of Shrek, and even two pairs of them.
"The third match of the 13th Soul Fighting Arena, a two-on-two contest, features the White Horse Combination against the Qi Le Rongrong Combination. Both teams, please proceed to the preparation area to prepare!"
Upon seeing this match information, everyone was stunned. Although they had long considered the possibility of being matched against each other, they did not expect this moment to come so soon!
"I'm doomed!!!" Ma Hongjun suddenly screamed, "Heavens and earth, why are you so unfair to me! Why did I have to lose my very first battle?!"
Dai Mubai calmly said, "Fatty, stop yelling so pitifully, just give it your all!"
" Boss Dai, if we go all out, can we really beat Boss Qi?" Ma Hongjun said pitifully.
"No," Dai Mubai said firmly, "But we can lose with dignity!"
Regardless, this was the first internal battle between the Shrek duo, and no matter how unwilling Ma Hongjun was, he had to accept the arrangements of the Great Soul Arena.
As both sides headed towards the preparation area, Qi Ling suddenly smiled and said to Ning Rongrong, " Rongrong, now you can finally achieve your goal! We can legitimately beat up Dai Mubai!"
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she had indeed asked Qi Ling to help her teach Dai Mubai a lesson, and she would agree to any price.
At that time, Qi Ling's condition for Ning Rongrong was that she should earn one hundred Gold Soul Coin through her own efforts.
After so much time has passed, Ning Rongrong has long since let go of her past grievances and no longer dislikes Dai Mubai as much. She now realizes just how unlikeable her actions were back then.
"Let's just forget about it, Qi Ling. I stopped hating Dai Mubai a long time ago," Ning Rongrong said. "I was wrong back then, but I don't care about those things anymore."
"How can that be? I always keep my word and never go back on my word," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Besides, we're going to compete anyway. How can we show respect to our opponents if we don't give it our all!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're always full of bad ideas."
So, when the two stepped onto the arena, Ma Hongjun almost knelt down when he saw Qi Ling summon the Divine Dragon Emperor with full power, and then Ning Rongrong added buffs to him.
" Boss Qi, don't do this! Someone will die!" Ma Hongjun said, on the verge of tears.
"How could that be? Fatty, you and Mubai work together perfectly, one close and one long, one offensive and one defensive! How could I not give it my all?" Qi Ling said with a smile.
Hearing Qi Ling's words, Ma Hongjun felt even more desperate. He couldn't believe that someone had single-handedly defeated all seven of them, and that Qi Ling could say she had used all her strength!
So the result of this match was quite simple and easy to understand. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai felt as if they had returned to their special training days, and all they thought about every day was how to survive under Qi Ling's command.
Of course, Qi Ling wouldn't really go all out; she would just let the two of them suffer a little to make Ning Rongrong happy. After all, they still had a team battle to fight today, and Qi Ling couldn't possibly cripple the team's main force.
"In the 13th Soul Fighting Arena, the third match of the two-on-two format, the White Horse Combination faced off against the Qi Le Rongrong Combination, with the Qi Le Rongrong Combination emerging victorious!"
After the host announced the results of the competition, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai felt not regret, but relief, as they had finally escaped from Qi Ling's clutches!
The match between Xiao Wu and Tang San had also ended. The two of them easily won against that Cat and Mouse Combination, which was a good start.
Just as everyone was celebrating, an unexpected incident occurred: Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, who had previously competed, found themselves in a tough battle.
