Tang San had already unconsciously regarded Xiao Wu as his own forbidden possession, so he greatly agreed with Yu Xiaogang's words. He had plenty of time to win Xiao Wu over.

The next day, Lan Hong left Nuoding Academy without saying goodbye to anyone, leaving Xiao Wu only a rabbit-shaped pendant.

"Brother Cat, can that thing really conceal the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"Don't worry! I may not be as skilled as Dr. Lala, but tinkering with a few little gadgets is no problem."

"That's good!"

"Lan Hong, where are we going next?"

"First, I'll Condense a Second Spirit Ring, then head toward Heaven Dou City. Along the way, I'll visit Soul Fighting Arenas to hone my swordsmanship and real combat ability."

"Mm! That sounds good!"

After leaving Nuoding City, Lan Hong carefully surveyed the surroundings. Only after confirming there was no danger did he find a place to Condense his Second Spirit Ring.

The first time was unfamiliar, but the second time came naturally. Condensing a Spirit Ring was much easier than before, and the pain Lan Hong endured was far less as well.

However, the Spirit Skill of his Second Spirit Ring was not what Lan Hong had expected.

"Ice Soul Sword! My Second Spirit Skill is actually the Ice Soul Sword!"

"Not just the Ice Soul Sword, but the Ice Soul Sword's complete inheritance as well!"

"Hong Mao, can I cultivate both the Changhong Heart Method and the Ice Soul Heart Method at the same time?"

"I don't know! No one has ever tried!"

"Little Hong, since this is your Second Spirit Ring, there's no reason you can't use it. Why not try it and find out?"

"That's true!"

Lan Hong absorbed the Ice Soul Sword inheritance brought by his Second Spirit Skill. Whenever he wanted to use an Ice Soul Sword technique, the Changhong Heart Method automatically transformed into the Ice Soul Heart Method to drive the sword technique.

Ice Sky Snow Land!

Lan Hong swung out a streak of blue sword light. Everywhere the sword light passed was covered in frost.

"All show and no substance! Your sword is still far inferior to Lan Tu's!"

"I know that, of course. Compared with any one of the Seven Swords, I'm still far behind! Brother Cat, are you going to Condense a Spirit Ring now?"

"Me? Not for now. Your situation may be special, but putting Spirit Rings on two Martial Souls at once is still dangerous. We can act after we understand Martial Souls better."

"Mm! All right!"

After tidying up a little, Lan Hong continued on his way. He had already bought a map before leaving Nuoding City.

To reach Heaven Dou City, he first had to go to Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom, then proceed to Barak City.

Once he reached Barak City, there were two options. He could cross the Vixlock Plains and arrive directly at Silvis City.

The second route was to take the official road, first heading to Xilu City and then to Silvis City. That path passed through the Sword Mountain Range, and the road might not be easy to travel.

As for which route Lan Hong would take, he would consider it after arriving in Barak City.

After passing Silvis City, he would reach Jialing Pass. Beyond Jialing Pass, Heaven Dou City was not far away.

It took Lan Hong roughly half a month to reach Suotuo City. Shrek Academy was here too, but he had no intention of joining in that excitement.

"So this is Suotuo City. It really is much more prosperous than Nuoding City! At this point in time, neither that lecherous tiger nor Zhu Zhuqing, that cold-faced cat, should be here. I probably won't run into any melodramatic trouble."

More importantly, Lan Hong was running out of travel money. He needed to earn some.

When he arrived at the Great Soul Arena in Suotuo City, Lan Hong put on a Cat Mask to hide his face. Seeing him, the young receptionist gave him a perfectly professional smile.

"Little friend, how can I help you?"

"I want to participate in Soul Fighting!"

"Ah! You want to participate in Soul Fighting? Are you a Soul Master?"

Lan Hong was only 1.4 meters tall. He was already tall for a seven-year-old, but he was clearly still a child, so it was no wonder she questioned him.

Lan Hong did not waste words. He revealed two White Spirit Rings.

"A Soul Grandmaster!"

The receptionist was slightly surprised. She wondered whether he was not a child at all, but a dwarf. Still, regardless of what she thought, she handled the matter thoroughly.

"Please come over here to register!"

The registration was completed quickly, and Lan Hong received an Iron Soul Fighting Badge! What pained him was that registration alone cost ten Gold Soul Coins.

Ten Gold Soul Coins! If he had not accumulated some money through black-eat-black schemes along the way, he probably could not even afford the ten Gold Soul Coins registration fee.

"Ah! A single coin can stump a hero. Hong Mao, didn't you heroes ever lack money when you traveled the martial world?"

"Um..."

He really did not want to discourage Lan Hong. As the Seven Heroes, each of them had their own businesses and had never worried about worldly wealth.

Before long, Lan Hong was matched against his opponent, a very muscular Level 22 Soul Grandmaster.

The two stood on the Soul Fighting Stage, and the difference between them was simply too obvious.

"Where did this little brat come from? Aren't you afraid Uncle Bull will stomp you to death with one foot?"

"Stomp him to death! Stomp him to death!"

The surrounding audience jeered. Those who came to watch Soul Fighting matches were looking for thrills, and the most direct thrills naturally came from blood and slaughter.

"A thrilling new Soul Fighting match is about to begin! On one side is the somewhat famous Bull Warrior, while on the other is the newcomer Hong Mao, who has just arrived! Who will emerge victorious in this battle? Stay tuned! Now, both sides, please activate your Martial Souls!"

Lan Hong then saw that his opponent's Martial Soul was a bull. After Martial Soul Possession, horns grew from his head and a tail appeared behind him.

Lan Hong, meanwhile, drew the Ice Soul Sword from his Second Spirit Ring. He had registered his Martial Soul as a sword Martial Soul.

With the referee's command, the Soul Fighting match officially began. Bull Warrior immediately unleashed his First Spirit Skill, Savage Bull Charge.

After activating this Spirit Skill, his speed became incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Lan Hong.

Lan Hong could clearly see the cruel smile on his face.

Lan Hong remained calm and unhurried. With graceful steps of Lingbo Weibu, he effortlessly dodged Bull Warrior's charge.

His opponent seemed to have anticipated that Lan Hong might evade the charge. He braked sharply, turned, and charged again.

Lan Hong immediately slashed out several streaks of sword energy, freezing the ground into a smooth sheet of ice in an instant.

The result of someone moving at high speed suddenly stepping onto ice was obvious.

Bull Warrior slipped directly, nearly charging headfirst off the arena.

Bull Warrior rolled to his feet and heard the audience's mocking laughter. Fury surged within him.

"Damn it, you little brat! Second Spirit Skill, Berserk!"

After using his Second Spirit Skill, a crimson aura swirled around Bull Warrior. His eyes turned scarlet, and he had already lost his reason.

The Berserk skill increased Bull Warrior's overall strength by fifty percent for half an hour. Its side effects were obvious as well: he lost his rationality, and once the effect ended, he would be weakened for an entire day.

As Bull Warrior charged at him after going Berserk, a sharp glint flashed through Lan Hong's eyes.
