Chapter 19: Shirou's First Match in the Battle Arena

After Shirou got quite useful information from the information area inside the Tian Dou Great Battle Arena building, Shirou immediately walked towards the reception desk to register himself in the battle arena. Arriving at the reception desk, Shirou immediately said in a hoarse voice, "Excuse me"

The female employee who was guarding the reception desk immediately stopped what she was doing after hearing a voice calling her. The employee immediately raised his head and looked at someone wearing a white robe and a mask that covered his entire appearance standing right in front of him, The employee immediately said with a smile, "Welcome, are you here to register as a member or want to register to participate in the match?"

The words spoken by the employee were very polite. Because he knows that in this battle arena especially in Tian Dou City is a Soul Master who has very strong power and should not be provoked easily. Moreover, he was just an ordinary civilian with no soul power, it would be very dangerous if he accidentally provoked a powerful Soul Master and also had a strong background to help him in the background.

Therefore, even seeing someone who covered his entire appearance without showing anything that could reveal his appearance, the employee was still very polite in serving that person.

"I want to register as a member" Shirou immediately took out 10 gold soul coins and gave them to the employee and said, "Here is the payment money"

The employee nodded and immediately took the payment Shirou had given him. After that, the female employee immediately took a registration form along with stationery and placed it in front of Shirou, and said, "Sir, please complete all the data in this form so I can process the making of a membership emblem."

Shirou immediately took the paper form and read it. The data contained in the form consisted of their name, gender, martial soul, and current level of soul power. Shirou didn't immediately write down the data but thought, " So... what martial soul should I use? Fire? Lightning? It doesn't matter if I use one of these two martial souls, chances are, if I fight someone at my current level of soul power, I can defeat them without needing to use a martial soul and focus solely on soul strength as well as physical strength."

" Besides, I can't write down my real identity. It would be dangerous to write down my real identity, especially if I were to show a little of my strength, it would attract a lot of powerful families who might be looking for data about me. Even if it's a battle arena, surely they will still provide the data if a powerful family asks for it." Shirou sighed and started writing down fake data about himself.

The fake data itself had information, the name Shirou chose was White. The choice of this name is because he has the name Shirou which means white in Japanese while White means white in English. Moreover, Shirou also knew that there was no way anyone would be able to obtain his true identity because this world of Douluo Dalu itself used Chinese as its primary language. Therefore, he need not be afraid to do some things that can reveal his identity easily.

Shirou's gender issue included a male, and as for his martial soul and soul power, Shirou chose to write correctly. The martial soul Shirou wrote down was the Lightning martial soul, but he didn't write down Supreme Lightning, but only Lightning. As for soul power, Shirou wrote down his soul force level 45.

Shirou's soul force has currently reached level 45. By the time Shirou has reached the age of 7 years and 3 months, Shirou's soul force has increased to level 40. After his soul force has reached level 40, Shirou immediately absorbs the fourth soul ring for two souls. defend himself. The first martial soul absorbs the fourth soul ring at 200,000 years old, while the second martial soul absorbs the fourth soul ring at 300,000 years.

With the last absorption of the soul ring at 300,000 years, Shirou's entire soul ring had been upgraded to 300,000 years. With the power that Shirou had now, he could even compete with a Counter-level Soul Master with ease and for a Saint-level Soul Master, Shirou would very easily kill them. Moreover, all of the techniques that Shirou was currently cultivating were all high-level destructive techniques. If one of his techniques was cast normally even a Soul King would be instantly killed in one hit.

Shirou who had finished completing all the forms handed it back to the employees. after the employee received the form, the employee immediately processed the registration made by Shirou. The employee suddenly rose from his position and walked towards the back while taking the crystal ball and placing it in front of Shirou saying, "Sir please have his soul power tested. We need to make sure that you have written honestly."

Shirou nodded and directly touched the crystal ball as he injected his soul power. The soul power shown in the crystal ball matched what Shirou had written on the registration form. The employee looked at Shirou and said, "Soul power level 45 and as written. Sir, please wait, I will immediately process your emblem directly."

Shirou nodded back, the employee immediately walked towards the back putting the crystal ball back, and started processing Shirou's registration again. After the process was complete, the employee immediately handed Shirou an iron emblem, saying, "Since this is the latest registration, Master will only get a low-grade emblem. Do you have any questions after this?"

"No" Shirou shook his head as he took his iron badge and took a glance, then he put the badge back in front of the employees and said, "Please register for one match today"

The employee nodded and said, "Yes sir, please wait"

The employee immediately took Shirou's emblem and immediately processed the match he was going to do today. It didn't take long for the employee to finish, he again handed the emblem to Shirou and said, "I've finished arranging today's match. You just need to wait for your name and id to be called in the announcement. Master just needs to go to the announced location."

"Okay, thank you" Shirou immediately took his emblem and turned to walk away while lifting his emblem seeing his name listed under the emblem as White as well as for id number 2304.

Satisfied with seeing his emblem, Shirou immediately put the emblem back into his storage room while thinking, " Hmm~ What should I do now? Looks like I can buy some snacks to eat while waiting for my name to be called. At the same time, I can try to buy something tasty enough for Lily to taste it too." Shirou immediately went to find a vendor selling snacks in the battle arena while waiting for himself to be summoned.

********

*ding*

The sound of the announcement bell rang throughout the Tian Dou Great Battle Arena, Shirou who was sitting casually eating the various snacks he bought also heard the announcement bell. Shirou himself had heard the voice several times, but every time it sounded, it was not Shirou's name that was called to enter the battle arena but someone else's being called. This made Shirou a little tired of waiting too long.

"Participants with ID number 2304 on behalf of White, please come to the battle arena number 15 through the west door"

"Participants with ID number 1067 on behalf of Jack, please come to the battle arena number 15 through the east door"

The announcement was heard up to three times for each name called. Shirou who heard the name 'White' himself knew that the match was about to start. Shirou immediately stored the snacks he ate in his storage room while thinking, " Jack? Is that the person I'm going to fight? Hearing his name, would it be possible for me to fight someone who specializes in cutting attacks? Jack in the real world also kills using a knife, Jack in the Black Clover anime is the same. Is it possible that Jack in the Douluo world is the same? Hmm~ Looks like I can only see it live in the arena"

In terms of division of battle arenas, the Tian Dou Great Battle Arena had 30 battle arenas divided into several according to number. Numbers 1 through 5 are battle arenas usually reserved for Soul Masters who have reached the minimum emblem level of silver.

As for Shirou, who had just registered to fight in the Great Battle Arena, he had just received a low-ranking emblem, the iron emblem. Shirou can only compete in arenas numbered 6 to 30 which sides arenas or reserve arenas. The opponent that Shirou will fight will also not be too far from Shirou, Shirou's opponent must only be a Soul Master of the Soul Sect level, and the emblem that he has only reached the iron level because he follows the rules that have been set.

Unless someone had a higher emblem and in that Battle Arena didn't have someone on the same level with the same emblem, that person would get an opponent who had higher power than his level. Shirou who doesn't care about various things immediately walks towards arena 15 which is the location where he will fight in his first battle.

Battle Arena Number 15.

"Welcome and good night everyone who has come to watch the battle program that will take place in this 15th battle arena." A male host with a slightly eye-catching appearance stood on a stage where the host was immediately opened to the atmosphere of the arena.

"How are you feeling right now? Spirit? Nervous? Or are you looking forward to watching the match that will take place tonight?" The presenter added to the enthusiasm of the audience who will watch the match which will be held in arena 15.

Various comments, cheers, and also enthusiasm of the audience vibrated in arena number 15. Even if this arena is not the main arena or the central arena that can accommodate more than 10,000 people who will watch, and also this arena is usually only used as a branch arena, the entire audience platform is still full because this is the only thing that can be an entertainment for the civilians. after they finish work.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the audience who could not wait to watch the battle tonight, the host immediately gave the code to the employee holding the spotlight to turn on the spotlight towards the east door.

"Alright, since you all can't wait to watch tonight's battle. We will summon the first participant who will appear from the east entrance. This participant is a participant who has won 9 battles in a row in the last few nights, let's call a participant with the martial soul of the Praying Mantis, Jack the Slayer." The host shouted with enthusiasm to increase the enthusiasm of the audience present.

"Jack the Slaughterer!"

"Jack the Slaughterer!"

"Jack the Slayer!"

Various cheers erupted from the audience as soon as they heard the name Jack the Slasher. Because the name Jack the Slasher is very famous for himself who always cuts his opponents sadistically in every battle he does.

We can see an adult man who has a very thin body walking out of the east entrance with his tongue sticking out of his mouth and an excited look, "Che... Che… Che… Who is the opponent that will be my prey today?" Jack said in a sadistic tone as he walked leisurely towards the center of the arena waiting for his opponent.

"And the opponent of Jack the Slasher. Ohhhh! ~ Didn't expect that the person who would fight Jack the Slasher would be someone who had just enrolled in this battle arena. With his Lightning martial soul, we are summoned to rise to White's battle arena!" The host again said excitedly.

"Haha… Just signed up already against Jack? This person will be cut off immediately."

"Hahaha… Great, I can see Jack cutting his opponent back tonight"

"Cut!"

"Cut!"

Various cheers immediately echoed in support of Jack the Slasher, Jack who heard the cheers were also immediately excited especially when he heard that his opponent was a member who had just joined, "Che... Che…Che… Looks like I got a good prey tonight" Jack said happily in a bloodthirsty tone.

Shirou whose name was called immediately walked out of the entrance and walked leisurely towards the center of the battle arena. The audience who saw Shirou's appearance immediately gave their comments.

"Cloak and mask? Is that person embarrassed to show his appearance?"

"Hahaha… He's just embarrassed to show his face that's about to lose"

"I guess so… Hahaha… Jack cut him off"

"Come on Jack cut that guy and finish the game quickly"

Shirou who heard the comments given by the audience didn't really care and just looked at Jack who was in front of him with a slightly surprised feeling, " Agh~ Isn't his appearance the same as Jack in the Black Clover Anime world? Besides the praying mantis martial soul? Haaa~ It's weird to find things like this. looks like in the future I shouldn't think anything, I'm afraid it will come true like meeting Uncle Ning and also now" Shirou thought tiredly while looking casually at Jack who was in front of him who had shown his intention through his eyes to cut Shirou's body.
