Chapter 26 Heading to the Grand Soul Fighting Arena (Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Seeking Favorites)_1

Xu Sheng and Qi Ruo stepped out, and the former asked with confusion, "Instructor Qi Ruo, did you need to see me for something?"

Qi Ruo nodded gravely, "Xu Sheng, His Holiness has informed me that you have already reached the level of a Titled Douluo!"

Thoughtfully pursing his lips, Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "So what? Do I just skip training altogether?"

Qi Ruo refuted Xu Sheng's statement, "Ahem... No, that's not it. It's because His Holiness has arranged a different training program for you than for Evil Moon and the others."

When he first heard His Holiness ordering this mere child to participate in the grand soul fighting arena, he nearly thought he was hallucinating.

After all, casualties were common in the grand soul fighting arena, especially within Martial Soul City's arena, where the amount of deceased and injured was horrendously high!

It wasn't until later that she told him that this child awakened with Innate Level Ninety Soul Power, a true Titled Douluo!

Only after that did he come to understand what His Holiness meant...

Without a word, Xu Sheng glanced at him and said, "Please go on, Instructor Qi Ruo. How is my training different from Evil Moon's?"

He was somewhat eager to find out what exactly the tasks Bi Bidong had for him were.

Knowing he had attained over 91 levels of Soul Power, Bi Bidong surely wouldn't have arranged something pointless for him!

So what kind of training could actually be effective for him?

Qi Ruo spoke sternly, "Xu Sheng, according to His Holiness's orders, you are to study theoretical knowledge with Evil Moon and the others every morning,"

"In the afternoon, you will go to the grand soul fighting arena in Martial Soul City for 1v1 duels on your own, and you must reach the rank of Diamond Medal. At night, you need to hunt and kill at least one soul beast with a Cultivation Level of over twenty thousand years on your own!"

Having finished speaking, Qi Ruo himself felt that these training tasks seemed extremely challenging!

And Xu Sheng was a support-class Soul Master; a single slip could very well cost him his life to a soul beast.

Xu Sheng, his face calm, showed no fluctuations upon hearing this because the tasks weren't particularly difficult for him, especially the duels in the grand soul fighting arena!

With his Titled Douluo Soul Power, achieving total victory was almost a given! If there was no limit to the number of matches, he could even achieve a Diamond Medal in just one day!

Xu Sheng voiced his slight boredom, "Is that all?"

The corners of Qi Ruo's mouth twitched involuntarily, "Huh? Just this? Doesn't Xu Sheng realize how difficult these tasks are? Even if he is a Titled Douluo, he is still from the support class! It's nearly impossible for him to contend with a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

Otherwise, he would definitely feel exasperated that he, nearing fifty years of age, was inferior to a child of only a few years...

Contemplating for a moment, Qi Ruo thought that His Holiness had told him only this much...

"There's nothing more after this, Xu Sheng. You probably don't know where the grand soul fighting arena is, do you?"

Xu Sheng gave a noncommittal nod; he hadn't been there long and naturally wasn't familiar with Martial Soul City. "Mm, I've only arrived a few days ago and I'm not familiar with the place."

Stroking his silvery beard, Qi Ruo suggested, "Then it's perfect. Right now, Evil Moon and the others are resting, so let me take you there."

After he showed Xu Sheng the way, what Xu Sheng did afterward would no longer be his concern.

...

Qi Ruo led Xu Sheng toward the grand soul fighting arena in Martial Soul City. Because of Xu Sheng's exceptionally handsome appearance, he was quite conspicuous on the entire street, drawing gasps of admiration from both men and women.

"Wow, that boy is so handsome, I wonder which sect or family's disciple he is!"

"He's so handsome. If I could get this child engaged to my daughter Qing, I would have no regrets in life as a mother-in-law!"

"Don't dream! Look closely at the white-bearded middle-aged man next to him—that's a teacher from Martial Soul Academy, a Soul emperor-level powerhouse!"

Walking side by side with Xu Sheng, Qi Ruo's ears twitched as he caught the unabashed praise. Looking toward Xu Sheng, he said with a tinge of sourness in his voice, "Xu Sheng, it seems you're quite popular!"

To think that he, as a Martial Soul Academy instructor and a Soul emperor powerhouse, didn't receive such attention.

Indeed, between people, the difference in physical appearance is quite important!

Xu Sheng, with his thick skin, said with a grin, "It's mutual, isn't Instructor Qi Ruo's great reputation also well-known to everyone?"

Being handsome is a gift from heaven, and there's simply no way for us to reject it.

Qi Ruo gave a wry smile and shook his head, then pointed towards the somewhat hidden circular building ahead, explaining, "Eh, I'm getting old and can't keep up. Xu Sheng, look, that circular building up ahead is the grand soul fighting arena!"

Xu Sheng raised his eyes and could just make out a silhouette, saying lightly, "Hmm, it's pretty much the same as described in the original story."

...

At the entrance to the grand soul fighting arena, there stood two lines of women who were not exceedingly beautiful but were nonetheless very pleasant to look at.

Upon seeing Xu Sheng and Qi Ruo approaching, they all bowed gracefully and said sweetly, "Welcome to the grand soul fighting arena! Guests, please come inside!"

Qi Ruo nodded his head and led Xu Sheng inside...

The two slowed down and Xu Sheng looked up, noticing that they were now in the bottom-most passageway, with three identical levels above them...

Seeing him snap back to reality, Qi Ruo began to patiently explain, "Xu Sheng, the grand soul fighting arena is divided into two areas, one is for the contestants to register, which is where we are now, and the floors above are for resting."

"The other part is the soul fighting spectator seats. You have to go through that main road to find your own seat..."

Xu Sheng took mental note, then saw a shop in front with computers and other items inside, where a light pink-haired, beautiful female service worker was busily entering information for other Soul Masters.

After replying, Xu Sheng slowly walked towards the shop...

"Got it, that must be the place for registration."

Seeing Xu Sheng's eagerness, Qi Ruo also followed...

The service worker in the shop wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing Xu Sheng.

This young brother is so handsome. If he grows up a bit more, I might even be tempted to flir...

A nearby group noticed the female service worker staring at Xu Sheng and said displeasedly, "Hey, what are you staring at the kid for? Hurry up and enter our information!"

The female service worker hurriedly came back to her senses and took their card, apologizing profusely, "Ah, sorry, I'll enter it right away."

She tapped a few keys on the computer and asked, "Please tell me your team's name?"

The man who had scolded her earlier propped up his chin to think and said, "We have seven people; how about we just call our team 'Seven Men carrying a Coffin'? Let's go with that."

The female service worker, hearing this strange name, asked with an odd look, "Sir, are you sure?"

The man, sensing a questioning tone in her voice, said angrily, "Hey, can't you understand? If I told you to fill it in with that, then do it!"

The service worker got the response and couldn't be bothered with them any longer; want to call it that, so be it.

Best of luck to the seven of them, may they be carried off together!

After she finished entering the data, the service worker passed back the card expressionlessly, "Registration successful, please head to the Soul Fighting Area to wait!"

The man huffed discontentedly and left the place with the other six.

The female service worker took a deep breath and looked back at Xu Sheng, her mood immediately improving upon seeing that young and handsome face.

This child has magic, one glance at him, and I feel like I've regained my vitality!

She then smiled slightly and gently said to Xu Sheng, "Little brother, are you here to watch the fight? The spectator seats are that way."
