As expected, they were being targeted.
Of course, it wasn't that they intended to harm him; rather, they probably wanted to befriend him or even recruit him!
After thinking for a moment, Lin Chuan did not refuse.
"Please lead the way!"
"Then please follow me, Master Jax!"
Following the staff, we entered the core area of the Great Soul Arena and finally stopped in front of a grand and luxurious gate.
Boom boom boom!
"Please come in!"
The staff member carefully pushed the door open and entered, his face full of respect.
"Manager Shang, Lord Jax has arrived."
"You've worked hard, you can go now!"
"Yes!"
The spacious room was suddenly left with only two people, and Lin Chuan took the opportunity to sized up the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Haha, you must be Soul Master Jia. I've long admired your name. I am Shang Sui, the person in charge of the Great Soul Arena in Sword City. I specially invited you here, and I hope you won't take offense."
The supervisor laughed heartily and took the initiative to start a conversation.
One shouldn't be too cold-hearted when someone is being sarcastic.
"Manager Shang, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Master Jia, don't be in a hurry. Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Shang Sui smiled but did not rush to speak. Instead, he invited Lin Chuan to sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea. "This is tea from the Star Luo Empire. Soul Master Jia, why don't you try it?"
"Thank you!"
Lin Chuan thanked him softly, showing no stage fright. He picked up the teacup, slightly raised the ghost mask, and took a sip of the hot tea.
A rich aroma wafted over.
“Good tea!”
“I’m glad you like it, Master Jia. I have quite a few more here. If you don’t mind, you can take some with you when you leave later.”
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly and slowly put down the teacup in his hand.
"No reward without merit. If you have anything to say, Manager Shang, please speak frankly."
"Haha, Soul Master Jia is straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either. Soul Master Jia's winning streak is truly admirable. However, ordinary one-ring Soul Masters are clearly no match for Soul Master Jia. I wonder if Soul Master Jia would be interested in sparring with a more powerful Soul Master?"
Shang Sui smiled, his eyes filled with eagerness and anticipation.
Lin Chuan's heart stirred slightly. "Manager Shang, could you please explain in more detail?"
"Then I'll get straight to the point. On behalf of the Sword City Grand Arena, I hope that Soul Master Jia can sign up for the cross-level challenge and have the duel take place in the main arena."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan suddenly understood.
So that was the idea!
Do you want to engage in a one-on-one soul battle with a Great Soul Master or even a Soul Venerable to attract more viewers and maximize your traffic?
No wonder he's in a managerial position; he's very smart.
At the same time, it must be said that Lin Chuan was indeed tempted!
Chapter 22 20,000 Gold Soul Coins
Currently, Lin Chuan faces no pressure when fighting ordinary Soul Masters. If he could fight against more powerful Soul Masters, he could gain more combat experience.
Meanwhile, the Great Soul Arena probably has its own ulterior motives.
A Soul Master who has achieved a 30-game winning streak can challenge a Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable, a level above them. Using this as a gimmick for publicity will definitely attract a lot of attention. Not only can it generate more ticket revenue, but by opening a betting platform, it can also make a fortune.
"What Manager Shang said makes sense, but even if I have some ideas, it's obviously unfair to me to challenge someone of a higher level. What would I gain from that?"
Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, not in a hurry to agree.
Sometimes, you should actively fight for the interests that are rightfully yours.
The Sword City Grand Arena wants to make money off him, and he can't just work for free like this; he has to get some benefits in return.
"Hehe, Soul Master Jia is certainly a straightforward person!"
Shang Sui smiled, clearly realizing that Lin Chuan was not easy to fool. Although his figure and voice clearly indicated that he was not very old, his way of handling things was quite shrewd!
However, based on the data survey conducted during this period, Shang Sui is well aware of just how popular Lin Chuan is right now.
This is still within the secondary arena. If it were promoted by the main arena and the challenge against opponents of higher levels were arranged in the main arena, the scene would definitely be extremely popular.
The sheer amount of profit involved is enough to tempt anyone.
Even if the vast majority of the profits don't end up in your pocket, if you really achieve something, your status will undoubtedly rise accordingly.
With this in mind, Shang Sui naturally didn't hesitate to be generous.
As a responsible person, there is no reason to refuse a mutually beneficial arrangement.
“Soul Master Jia, how about this? As long as you are willing to take on a challenge beyond your level, the Great Soul Arena will offer 10,000 gold soul coins as a reward.”
"not enough!"
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly. "If I participate in the Cross-Level Soul Battle, I will definitely encounter opponents of the same level afterward. Buying it out for 10,000 gold soul coins would be too much of a loss for me."
Shang Sui hesitated slightly, but still tentatively asked, "What does Master Jia mean?"
"You have to pay more!"
Shang Sui: "."
After some haggling, an agreement was finally reached: the Grand Soul Arena would pay 20,000 gold soul coins, which was the maximum benefit they could negotiate.
Lin Chuan did not continue to be greedy; instead, he knew when to stop.
"Master Jia truly makes me feel ashamed!"
"Manager Shang, why say that? Although we paid a price, your Great Soul Arena will definitely not lose money. Isn't it a win-win situation?"
Shang Sui smiled but didn't respond.
"In that case, please rest for three days, Soul Master Jia. During these days, the Great Soul Arena will do its best to publicize this matter. Your opponent should be a Great Soul Master, and I will give you his information."
"Then there's no need. The unknown is what brings surprises."
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, not intending to cheat through official channels.
Seeing this, Shang Sui did not continue to persuade him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Lin Chuan got up to say goodbye and turned to walk towards the door. Shang Sui saw him to the door and also gave him a box of tea.
Looking at the exquisite iron box in his hand, Lin Chuan's eyes were unreadable.
The other party is perfectly suited to be the supervisor; their interpersonal skills are simply impeccable.
After leaving the Great Soul Arena, we returned to the inn.
For the next three days, as agreed, Lin Chuan did not go to the Great Soul Arena, but instead stayed in the backyard of the inn to cultivate.
Meanwhile, a message was circulating in the outside world, or rather, throughout Sword City.
Jax, a one-ring Soul Master who has achieved a 30-game winning streak in one-on-one Soul Battles, will face a higher-level challenge in three days against a two-ring Great Soul Master.
This news piqued the interest of countless people.
"A Soul Master fighting a Great Soul Master of a higher level? Really?!"
"This news came from inside the Great Soul Arena, how could it be false?"
“I know that Jax. It is said that his martial soul is a bow, but in these thirty battles, he has never used his martial soul or soul skills. He defeated all his opponents with only a woodcutter’s knife.”
"so smart?!"
"Yes, it might be another genius from some powerful force. However, his opponent is a Great Soul Master, so it might not be as easy as before. After all, he has an extra Soul Skill and his Soul Power is significantly lower. His thirty-game winning streak might come to an end."
"No matter what, I'm going to go see it; it's sure to be amazing!"
"."
Just as Shang Sui had envisioned, after the publicity for the Great Soul Arena, both those who knew about it and those who didn't began to be interested in the Soul Battle three days later.
Even the reservation tickets for the main arena have been sold out.
Upon hearing this news, Shang Sui was practically grinning from ear to ear.
These are all pure white Soul Coins!
"Manager, what level opponent should we assign Jax?"
