CH 73: Nicknames

Yu Xiaogang :"however, besides getting a silver soul badge in single battle, you have to get a silver soul badge in the group battle. You'll battle as Shrek ten Devils. Group battle can help everyone collect points and contribute points to the group. This is what double soul fight lacks. Of course, who wants to progress faster, may form a team to join the double soul battle."

As he finished his sentence, he turned around and started walking towards the gate… if you could call it of the Shrek. The students looked at each other with confusion before shrugging and following him to wherever he was going.

As they reached the shabby gate and were walking outside of Shrek, Yu Xiaogang started talking again :" You have to remember a few restrictions beforehand. First, don't reveal your appearance and your name during the soul battle, always fighting with mask and nickname. Second, including Tang San, no one is allowed to use secret weapons. Third, whether to win or lose, each one of you has to fight twice a day."

Nobody had anything to say during sentence, but when they heard the last part of his sentence, Oscar walked forward :" Master, Rong Rong and I are soul masters of Assisting Branch. Do we have to get a silver soul badge as well?"

Yu Xiaogang turned around with a calm look and his hands still behind his back :" Or you may train as before until everyone else gets their badges." Now hearing that comeback, everybody turned towards Oscar to see what he's gonna do.

And they found out since he had the perfect answer already, which was flattering Yu Xiaogang :" Master. I suddenly realize your decision to have us compete in the soul arena to gain experience is very wise."

The shameless bastard of a sausage uncle even had the audacity to massage him while flattering him. But when he saw that Yu Xiaogang wasn't impressed and had his normal, nonchalant face, he quickly got back to the group :"I'll take back my words."

Some people in the group laughed at his antics while some just shook their heads at his silliness. Seeing that there wasn't any further interruptions from the students, Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth again :"Okay. If there's no question, you may depart now."

-

It was night time or at least evening when the people of the Shrek were listening to Yu Xiaogangs explanation using a chess board and its pieces in a private room :" The competitions in the soul arena are separated to singles, doubles and group battle which starts the latest.

You may team up freely. But you must join a group battle and a single or a double battle every day. I wouldn't disagree, if you want to join three battles. The term is, that you must know your soul power well."

They all nodded with serious looks as they began to give suggestions. It was of course Oscar who excitedly started the conversation first :" Boss Dai, let's join a double soul battle together. My assisting capability may help you. Or else, I wouldn't know how I can earn points to get a silver soul badge."

He gave him the puppy dog eyes on top of asking nicely at the end. Dai Mubai had already gotten over Zhu Zhuqing who he didn't really have any feelings for anyway, and he honestly didn't want to get a nice and brutal beating from Ali or Altair who could get extremely possessive sometimes.

But seeing how Oscar acted still made him feel weird even though they were friends for a long time. So he nodded with an awkward smile and tone :"Alright then." Seeing that they were already on the subject, the others began too.

Ning Rongrong :"Brother San, are you willing to help me?"

Tang San :"But Wu and I have formed the San Woo."

Xiao Wu nodded eagerly and excitedly before Ma Hongjun pointed at himself proudly with a smile and a wink :"Rong Rong, what about me?" though his effort of impressing the beauty while Oscar was glaring at him while showing his fist was pointless.

Ning Rongrong :"You? Forget about it."

Yu Xiaogang :"No. I suggest that you should form a team with Ma Hong Jun." now that took everyone by surprise, even the two as Ning Rongrong looked at him :"Why?" she seriously didn't want to team up with him, huh?

Yu Xaiogang :" In a double soul battle, when one of the soul masters achieves a higher level, you have to join a battle of higher level too. That means, when you team up with San, you'll face opponents at level 30 and above.

Your chance of winning will decrease. While Hong Jun is at level 28, your team will face opponents within your range. Hong Jun's Martial Soul is superior. In addition to your assistance, the winning chance is 70% and above."

Ning Rongrong had a sad look at the realization. But she then looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was sitting between Altair and Eve with a desperate look :"little sister, let's team up." But her answer was an apologetic look from Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing :"I'm sorry, Rongrong. But didn't mister just say that the chances of winning will decrease because we will be fighting opponents of my level. And because of those events some while ago, I'm at level 30 now as well."

Ning Rongrong :"yes, but your cultivation speed has also increased significantly just as you've said it yourself. So now you are level 36 <she was level 35 before, right? I'm sorry if it's not. Too lazy to check it.>.

So because of your high level and strong martial soul combined with my boosts of martial soul, our chances of winning will definitely increase sharply! And Altair and Eve have already teamed up, so you aren't teamed up with anyone. So, please?"

Zhu Zhuqing felt guilty as she looked at her begging eyes and would feel even guiltier if she refused since she knew the reason for why she is so desperate and in need of help. I mean, which girl would want to team up with Ma Hongjun who isn't that handsome but is so perverted?

So Altair had to step in and help his girl out as he chuckled at Ning Rongrong while he rested his head on his hand :"sorry, Rongrong, we may have teamed up, but our fused and complete form is still without a teammate. So she and "us" will team up."

Ning Rongrong sighed with defeat as her shoulders slumped :"no way… I have to partner up with him…?" her mood was really down, unlike the excited Ma hongjun who raised his fist in victory and gave a thumbs up to Altair.

Yu Xiaogang :"You can decide how to join the soul battle. I have one more thing for you." He said before taking some masks that would cover half of the face out of nowhere :"This is for you. Wear it when you're battling.

Talk fewer words on the stage. Try not to reveal your age to the opponents. During the group battle, your team name will be Shrek ten Devils. But since only seven members are allowed in each group battle, only seven of you will go to fight.

Ali and his parts won't participate unless necessary or if they truly wish for. They will only have to take part in the fight from time to time. In the single soul battle, I've figured out nicknames for each one of you. Use the nickname to register. So your real name will not appear at the soul area."

Oscar :"What are our nicknames?"

Yu Xiaogang :"the nickname for Ali will be Divine Devil, Altair's will be Celestial Devil and Eve's will be Celestial Angel."

Altair :"Celestial Devil and Celestial angel, huh? I like them. Celestial Devil, Altair."

Eve :"yeah, they're nice to my ears. Celestial Angel, Ivan or Eve."

Yu Xiaogang :"Mu Bai shall use his own nickname, Evil Eyes White Tiger."

Dai Mubai :"Evil Eyes White Tiger, Dai Mu Bai."

Yu Xiaogang :"As for Zhu Qing, her Martial Soul is the best name for her. Nephilim jaguar."

Zhu Zhuqing :"Nephilim jaguar, Zhu Zhuqing."

Yu Xiaogang walked up to Oscar :"You'll still be The Sausage Seller."

Oscar :"The Sausage Seller, Oscar."

Yu Xiaogang :"Xiao San shall be called Thousand Hands Silver Plant. What do you think?"

But instead of Tang San, it was Xiao Wu who had objections as she walked in front of Tang San and waved her index finger :"This isn't good. It's not cool at all. Silver Plant sounds horrible." Which caused Tang San to chuckle.

Yu Xiaogang :"What should he be called then?"

There was a moment of silence as they all got to thinking. But that silence was broken by Dai Mubai who got up and told his own opinion :"Xiao San may look well-behaved. But when he's angry, he's more murderous than anyone of us… Excluding Ali and Altair, of course. What about Thousand Hands Asura?"

Yu Xiaogang :"What do you think?"

Tang San :"Master, you shall decide."

Yu Xiaogang :"Then you shall be called Thousand Hands Asura. Hong Jun, I've thought up a nickname for you. You'll be called Evil Phoenix."

Ma Hongjun :"This is good. Thank you, Master."

Tang San :"Thousand Hands Asura, Tang San."

Ma hongjun :"Evil Phoenix, Ma Hong Jun."

Xiao Wu :"Master, what am I called then? You have to give me a nice name."

Yu Xiaogang :"You use Rou Skill. You're very flexible. In addition to your rabbit Martial Soul and Charm skill, what about Flexible Charming Bunny?"

Xiao Wu :" Flexible Charming Bunny, Xiao Wu. That doesn't sound too bad."

Yu Xiaogang :"Rong Rong's Martial Soul is Qibao Amber Pagoda. Nothing describes you better than Qibao Amber."

Ning Rongrong :"Qibao Amber, Ning Rong Rong."

They stood up and made a circle as they held their masks together.

-

As the group of teenagers who were wearing black clothes with their own signature colors in some places, Yu Xiaogang, Flender and Xiao Wuji also came along with them to see their fight and how they will work as a team against someone other than Ali or his parts.

They were looking pretty cool with the black clothes and the masks, so Oscar was trying to show off as he looked from side to side to show off his covered face as he slowly walked, trying to look like he is in slow motion.

But it was thankfully put to a stop when Ali kicked him from the back with an annoyed look :"hurry the fuck up. Why you walking so slowly, idiot." Causing the others of the group to either laugh at the funny show or shake their heads in embarrassment.

They all walked in and Oscar joined them hurriedly after running his hand through his hair once more. Tang San turned to the group along with Xiao Wu :"Guys, I'll go to the thirteenth arena with Xiao Wu to join the double soul battle. We'll meet again later."

Flender :"go ahead."

Dai Mubai :"noted."

Everyone else :"alright."

Yu Xiaogang :"Okay, I'll go along too."

Tang San :"okay."

-

As the spectators cheered from their seats and swung those small, light saber like thingies, the announcer did a cool trick with the microphone on top of his trusty, flying stage as he hyped the audience :"Welcome to Suo Tuo Soul Arena! This double soul battle will be joined by San Woo team against Cat-and-Mouse which has won four times in a row in double soul battles!"

Tang San :"cat and mouth."

As the announcer with the yellow hair which looked really fucking similar to an onion continued to hype the audience, the two teams walked to the stage as he explained some things about the match :" If they can win their opponent, San Woo, they'll get five victories in a row!

Maybe they appear in the Suo Tuo Soul Arena next, Maybe they appear in the Suo Tuo Soul Arena next, they'll be in the Central Soul Arena!" not gonna lie, the cat girl was a real cutie with a banging body and red hair which was a turn on in itself.
