Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena

That afternoon, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team, whose holiday had ended, regrouped in the training ground exclusively for the Imperial Fighting Team.

As comrades who had fought side by side for a long time, Qin Ming didn't bother with self-introductions. Instead, he went straight to the point. "Qingchen, although the members of the Imperial Fighting Team are all true geniuses, truly powerful Soul Master are never grown up in the greenhouse of an academy. Therefore, our training has always been a combination of basic skills and practical combat."

"The training content isn't entirely fixed, but generally speaking, the mornings are for physical training, the afternoons are for cultivating Soul Power through simulated environments, and the evenings are for combat training. Of course, you can also manage your own afternoons, just be careful not to slack off."

Lin Qingchen naturally had no objection to this. As for practical training, even without Qin Ming saying it, everyone knew it meant going to the Great Soul Arena for Soul Fighting.

It's a cliché, but in this relatively peaceful era, where else besides the Great Soul Arena can you find so many Soul Masters to spar with?

We can't exactly go to the Slaughter City, can we?

After a brief exchange, Qin Ming arranged the physical training programs for the others according to the pre-established plan.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang's primitive training method of running to the point of exhaustion as long as he wasn't dead, Qin Ming's arrangement was much more scientific.

It's not that Lin Qingchen is disparaging running as a form of exercise; after all, from any perspective, long-distance running is a great form of exercise. It's just that the kind of mindless running is simply too difficult to maintain.

As for Lin Qingchen himself, he first underwent a simple physical data test under Qin Ming's guidance, and then the training plan was arranged with the meticulous calculations of the logistics team sent by the academy.

Of course, the test process also deeply shocked Qin Ming and the others, which goes without saying.

That night, Qin Ming led everyone directly to the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena.

The Great Soul Arena is a mysterious force that exists in almost all cities of medium size and above. It is nominally an independent force separate from the two great empires, but no matter how you look at it, it is inextricably linked to the two great empires.

However, another advantage of its complex background is that it is relatively neutral and fair, which is why it has been able to spread so widely.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou City's Great Soul Arena is naturally one of the largest Soul Fighting Arena.

Unlike the pure white auction house of Heaven Dou City, the Heaven Dou City Great Soul Arena is built entirely of black and hard rock. From a distance, it looks like a giant beast crouching among the tiny buildings. Even before you get close, you can hear the deafening shouts coming from inside.

"Although it's not my first time here, I still get a little excited every time I hear this huge shout," Yu Tianheng said.

"Hehe, boss, you're always so restless. You're born for this kind of grand stage, unlike that dead leopard who only knows how to cower in a dark corner." Yu Feng still had that same annoying attitude towards Osler, flattering Yu Tianheng while not forgetting to subtly slander him.

"Birdman! You!"

Osler glared at Yu Feng.

It's hard!

The fist hardened!

"Heh, can't you two just shut up for a bit? Are you so eager to show off your ill-fated relationship to Qingchen?" Dugu Yan sneered at the two bickering lovers.

Noticing the Bingbing gaze coming from behind, Yu Feng subconsciously swallowed.

"No, Yanzi, I'm just... excited, yes, excited."

He chuckled awkwardly.

"Hmph." Dugu Yan ignored this guy who was spouting nonsense, and instead turned to Lin Qingchen beside her, smiling, "Little brother Qingchen, this must be your first time at the Great Soul Arena, right? So, what are your thoughts?"

Her eyes darted around, scrutinizing Lin Qingchen from head to toe, as if trying to see right through him.

Feeling Dugu Yan's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him whole, Lin Qingchen said without changing his expression, "Me? Although this is the first time in my life I've been to such a bustling place, it's actually not so bad. Compared to this kind of lively place, I actually prefer to find a quieter place to live in seclusion, but that's probably a long way off."

Hearing Lin Qingchen's words, Ye Lingling, who was following behind him, brightened up.

Lin Qingchen's words struck a chord with her. She actually preferred quiet, and her presence at the Great Soul Arena was mainly due to it being part of the Imperial Fighting Team's established training program.

He understands me!

This thought suddenly arose in Ye Lingling's mind.

If it were a seasoned lover, they would probably say, "Girl, you're in trouble, you've fallen in love."

But Ye Lingling was just a teenager; how could she know so much?

Hearing the conversation behind him, Qin Ming smiled slightly.

It's a good thing that the team has a harmonious atmosphere, and he's happy to see that.

If everyone were to hate each other like they were his father's killer, that would be a real headache for him.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet."

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, Qin Ming clapped his hands, signaling the others to quiet down.

Afterwards, Qin Ming introduced him to the core business of the Great Soul Arena – Soul Fighting.

Simply put, the Great Soul Arena is divided into eight levels from low to high: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond. Each level only represents Soul Master's points from wins in the Great Soul Arena, not their actual strength.

However, it generally follows the rule that the stronger one is, the higher their Soul Fighting level.

Besides, there is no fixed rule for the Soul Fighting Soul Fighting Arena, but one-on-one, two-on-two, and seven-on-seven are the most popular. Killing is not allowed during Soul Fighting; the focus is on friendly sparring.

Of course, if both parties are willing, the Great Soul Arena can act as the referee and conduct a betting contest with any rules. The stakes can be money, treasures, or even life.

The Great Soul Arena doesn't even take a cut of this.

However, everyone knows that compared to ordinary Soul Fighting, the audience would definitely prefer to see these kinds of duels, especially deathmatches, which are undoubtedly more exciting.

After entering, Qin Ming first took Lin Qingchen to register his Soul Fighting identity and receive an Iron Soul Fighter Token.

"Sir, would you like to choose a code name?" the staff member asked as usual.

To protect their safety, some participants in the Soul Fighting do not reveal their real names and wear masks or similar items to conceal their identities during the Soul Fighting.

Lin Qingchen shook his head. "No need."

"Okay, best of luck in your martial arts endeavors," the staff member said.

Back in the group, Qin Ming greeted them:

"Alright, let's draw lots first. There are exactly eight people, so tonight we'll be randomly divided into four teams to participate in two-on-two matches."
