Everyone present was talking at once, the clamor unending.

But just then, a white-haired old man in the crowd noticed something amiss and hurriedly cried out:

"Something's wrong! This kid isn't ordinary!"

The speaker was none other than Mo Cang, the owner of the Black Blade Martial Soul who had fought Chen Feng before!

Hearing this, the Soul Masters present all turned to look at him, their faces full of surprise.

"Old Man Mo, are you saying that kid is the one who defeated you last time?"

After all, Mo Cang was quite well-known in this Soul Arena!

With Soul Power at level thirty-nine, he had suffered almost no defeats in one-on-one matches among Soul Elders.

Until last time, when word spread that he had lost to a Soul Grandmaster in his twenties, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

It was said that the young man's third Soul Ring was actually Ten-Thousand-Year!

Only upon hearing Mo Cang's cry did everyone finally realize it.

"Now this is going to be a real show!"

"How badly do you think Mad Rhino will get beaten?"

"Haha, looks like Mad War Team has kicked an iron plate this time, huh?"

"..."

Quite a few people at the scene were taking pleasure in their misfortune.

The reason was that Mad Rhino had been throwing his weight around in the Soul Arena and bullying plenty of people.

He had only been here for a week, yet he had already become a target of public resentment.

Even some of the staff looked down on him.

After Chen Feng withdrew his hand, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes also shone with an unusual light as she thought, He... actually stepped in for me?

In Zhu Zhuqing's heart, Chen Feng had always seemed lofty and unfathomably powerful.

At the very least, ever since the two had met, she had never seen him lose!

Challenging opponents above his level was practically commonplace for him.

Thus, in her subconscious mind, she had already begun to look up to him.

Now that she saw the person she admired make a move, she was even more excited.

Mad Rhino, who had been slapped, was utterly furious. His voice boomed like thunder as he roared:

"You! You're courting death!"

The moment his words fell, the surroundings suddenly erupted into chaos.

In less than a moment, the members of Mad War Team, who had also been in the waiting area, surrounded them.

Their expressions were dark as they stared fixedly at Chen Feng before them.

Someone had slapped the boss of Mad War Team?

That was simply arrogance beyond all bounds!

If they did not reclaim their honor today, how could they still call themselves Mad War Team?!

There was no way this matter could end peacefully!

The atmosphere at the scene was tense, as though they could start fighting at any moment.

Chen Feng's gaze was cold. He smiled faintly and said:

"If you make a move, you'd better think carefully about the consequences."

"You slapped me and still dare threaten me?!" Mad Rhino gritted his teeth and glared viciously at Chen Feng.

He wished he could tear him to pieces!

"Stop it, all of you!"

Just as the two were about to fight, a voice rang out.

A middle-aged man in his forties strode over and instantly appeared between them.

"Don't you know the rules of the Soul Arena? Private fighting is forbidden!"

Seeing this, Mad Rhino, who had been so aggressive moments ago, immediately changed his expression.

"Manager Ao, this has nothing to do with me. He was the one who attacked first!"

With the manager here, he did not want a conflict to break out.

But feeling the burning pain on his face, Mad Rhino still found it difficult to swallow the anger in his chest!

If he endured this, Mad War Team might as well disband!

Yet Manager Ao did not believe him at all. He turned toward Chen Feng, his expression changing slightly as he exclaimed:

"You're that Prodigy from some time ago? The one who defeated Old Man Mo?"

Just now, all his attention had been on Mad Rhino, who was prone to causing trouble, so he had not paid much attention to the young man before him.

Only now did he recognize him.

Chen Feng was now extremely famous throughout the Great Soul Arena!

His reputation was even spreading to more distant kingdoms!

A Soul Master whose third Soul Ring was Ten-Thousand-Year was simply too rare!

The moment he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.

Many Soul Masters turned to look at Mo Cang, their gazes carrying a trace of mockery.

Back then, Old Man Mo had been such an arrogant old man.

He especially loved bullying people while at the Soul Elder stage.

But ever since Chen Feng defeated him, he had immediately tucked his tail between his legs and no longer dared to act presumptuously.

For days now, Mo Cang had appeared at the Great Soul Arena every day.

It was said that he had lost terribly in that battle with Chen Feng, so he had recently been frantically earning Gold Soul Coins.

Since he was not competing at the moment, he happened to be in the waiting area as well.

Hearing Manager Ao's surprised exclamation, Chen Feng also turned to the side and slowly said:

"It's him. If I remember correctly, his name is Mo Cang?"

"Yes, young man, that was a splendid battle!" Manager Ao praised.

In the crowd,

Mo Cang wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

This was simply too embarrassing!

Seeing this strange scene, Mad Rhino's heart also shook violently!

Over the past few days, he had participated in quite a few 1V1 battles.

He had won several matches in a row, so naturally, he had encountered Mo Cang.

Although Old Man Mo was not young, his combat experience and strength were unquestionable.

Mad Rhino had truly spent considerable effort before relying on the advantage of youth and stamina to wear him down and defeat him.

Yet judging by everyone's reactions, the young man before him seemed far stronger than Mo Cang?

What was this guy's background, to have defeated Old Man Mo so easily?

At that thought, Mad Rhino quickly dismissed his original idea of challenging him one-on-one.

But when his gaze fell upon Chen Feng's companions, his eyes lit up.

After Manager Ao left, he stepped forward and issued a challenge:

"Kid, dare to have a match on the dueling platform? A team battle!"

The Great Soul Arena also provided platforms for matches.

At times, in order to boost the Soul Arena's popularity, they would even specifically seek out teams to compete!

As for the winner's reward, it depended on the teams' popularity.

Hearing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mad Rhino had truly gone too far. Given Chen Feng's usual temperament, he would have been too lazy to compete.

But this fool had to provoke Zhu Zhuqing!

As a result, for the sake of his future plans, Chen Feng had to fight him!

Still, he acted entirely uninterested as he replied:

"Without a substantial wager, there's no point in fighting."

Hearing this, Mad Rhino provoked him:

"Who says there isn't one? I'll wager ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!"

This was the income he had earned from his consecutive victories these past days, along with various bets he had placed.

Otherwise, relying solely on the Great Soul Arena's winner rewards, it would have been difficult to accumulate so much at this stage!

However, Mad Rhino had tremendous confidence in the upcoming battle!

Chen Feng might be strong, but a team battle did not rely on individual performance. It depended entirely on teamwork!

Every Soul Master's strength was extremely important!

And judging from the fluctuations of their Soul Power, two people on the other side had definitely not reached the Soul Elder level.

Mad War Team was different.

Every one of their Soul Masters had Soul Power above level thirty-five!

How could the strength of such teams possibly be compared?

"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coins?" Chen Feng smiled. "That's barely acceptable."

The moment his words fell, the entire venue became silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The Soul Masters all stared with their mouths open in shock, unable to believe it.

He actually agreed?

A team battle required seven people!

Could it be that several more kids had not arrived yet?
