Chapter 37: Great Spirit Arena

After a while, Lu Yuan and She Long arrived in front of a magnificent building, this building was oval in shape, with a height of over a hundred meters, in which there was a main combat arena, and twenty-four combat sub-arenas, which could accommodate up to sixty thousand spectators at the same time, including a hundred VIP boxes.

As Lu Yuan gazed upon the massive building, he finally understood what his Sister Xue'er intended his next phase of training to be - to participate in battles between Spirit Masters in the Great Spirit Arena.

As they walked through the Great Spirit Arena, She Long introduced the competition system and other basic matters.

It wasn't long before they arrived at a VIP box, where they could clearly see everything taking place in the arena, while staff members were standing next to them, bringing different delicacies.

Despite entering dressed as a beggar, the behavior of the Great Spirit Arena staff was very respectful towards She Long.

Lu Yuan, noticing She Long's smug look, could not help but roll his eyes, it was clear that these people already knew that an important personage was coming in advance, otherwise, they would have long ago kicked them out.

"Brat, from here you can observe what is happening in the Great Spirit Arena, the Young Master has already arranged your first opponent, according to her words, she wants you to learn the importance of your previous training. However, I must warn you that you are still too young, so when you participate in the battle, the competition will definitely be above your level, which means your opponents will be at least in the Spirit Grand Master realm." She Long became unusually serious for a moment and explained the situation in detail, after which, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"Thank you for the information, Uncle She." Lu Yuan also turned serious and took advantage of the fact that it was not yet his turn to watch the fights in the Great Spirit Arena carefully.

In one of the sub-arenas, two ranks 30 Spirit Grand Masters were facing off, just one Spirit Ring away from breaking through to the Spirit Ancestor realm. They were both experienced and every time they attacked, it was with powerful melee strikes or Spirit Skills.

Thanks to his training with She Long, Lu Yuan was able to quickly identify their mistakes and simulate himself in their place, thinking of how he would react and defend against their attacks. Seeing Lu Yuan's focused expression, She Long half-opened his eyes and smiled with satisfaction before closing them again.

Earlier, She Long had been worried that Lu Yuan would become too arrogant, given that he was a true prodigy and it was becoming increasingly difficult to find any flaws in his techniques with each passing day.

As time gradually passed, and about 6 bouts had passed between Spirit Masters, She Long suddenly stood up and after stretching, looking like he had taken a good nap, he said loudly, "Brat, it's time for your first battle, but before that, you must go to register."

Lu Yuan nodded his head and got up to follow She Long out of the VIP box, the two of them headed towards the place where the Spirit Masters were registering for the tournament.

As they approached the registration area and before the member in charge of registration could say anything, She Long casually tossed her a token. The moment the woman saw the token, she immediately became more respectful as she said, "Honored guests, you are just in time for the scheduled match, the opponent is already preparing in another room."

After saying this, she turned to look at Lu Yuan rather curiously, "Little brother, your information has already been pre-registered by you, all that remains is for you to tell me the codename you will use."

Thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan slowly spoke, "My codename will be... Dragon Emperor."

Hearing the name Lu Yuan had decided on, and thinking about the opponent he would face, the woman in charge of registration gave him a strange look, but said nothing as she handed Lu Yuan a badge, "Alright, little brother, this is your Spirit Fighter Badge, as you participate in the battles, and according to your results, every month your points will be counted, and if you reach a certain number of points, you will be promoted to the next rank."

"However, your first battle this time is an agreed battle, which means it will not impact your score, whether you win or lose."

Lu Yuan did not speak and only nodded to show that he had understood.

Seeing the backs of She Long and Lu Yuan as they walked away, the eyes of the person in charge of registration turned to look at the registration sheet, specifically at the words, "Dragon Emperor", written on the sheet.

'How can the higher-ups let such a young child enter a Spirit Masters combat arena and make him face that person in his first match?" she thought to herself. "I just hope this little brother doesn't get hurt too badly. After all, he was pretty cute.'

Back in the VIP box, as Lu Yuan waited for his name to be announced, he observed the ongoing bout with great interest

Meanwhile, She Long leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, disinterested in watching the match. As a Title Douluo, he found the battles at this level to be rather boring and insignificant.

After the Battle Arena match ended, the host's voice suddenly rang out, "Before we continue with the regular matches, we have an agreed match between two Spirit Masters. Yu Tianheng versus Dragon Emperor. Both Spirit Masters enter the Battle Arena!"

Hearing the host's voice, She Long's eyes widened quickly, a little surprised, actually, he did not fully know his Young Master's arrangements, so he did not expect that Lu Yuan's first match would be against Yu Tianheng, an heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who was well-known in the younger generation.

Lu Yuan also heard the name of his opponent and realized that Qian Renxue had planned this match for a specific purpose.

Facing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the number one beast-type Martial Soul recognized in the continent, there was no doubt that his Golden Dragon Martial Soul would react.

After all, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was not on the same level as the Golden Dragon, the gap in cultivation ranks was not to be forgotten, just like how Qian Renxue could overcome his Golden Dragon based on her superior cultivation, Yu Tianheng could partially close this gap in the same way.

As a dragon-type Martial Soul, Lu Yuan anticipated that the Golden Dragon's reaction would be much stronger compared to its reaction to Qian Renxue's Seraphim.

After looking at each other, She Long sighed lightly before reminding him, "Brat, although I can partially understand what Young Master wants to achieve, if you are really in a very unfavorable situation, just admit defeat to the referee, I will explain everything to Young Master, and I'm sure she won't blame you."

"Uncle She, I didn't think you'd care so much about me." Lu Yuan's face became emotional as he spoke, looking extremely moved.

"Bahh, stop clowning around and go to the Battle Arena." She Long rolled his eyes and waved his hand for him to leave. He was only worried about his safety, and the brat dared to tease him.

'Anyway, with how much the Young Master appreciates this brat, it won't matter if he wins or loses, she surely won't blame him.' She Long thought.

Lu Yuan chuckled and gave a bright smile as he turned to leave for the Battle Arena, waving goodbye to him.

Slowly walking up towards the Battle Arena, Lu Yuan's gaze was immediately fixed on a young man around 12 to 13 years old, with a face that could be considered handsome, wearing luxurious white clothes with golden trim. The young man had his eyes closed while showing an apparent calmness.

Upon opening his eyes, Yu Tianheng noticed Lu Yuan as his opponent and was momentarily taken aback, before letting out a laugh, as if he was being played a kind of joke.

"Kid, what are you doing here? Did you get lost?" he asked with a hint of amusement in his voice, indicating that he did not take Lu Yuan seriously.
