Chapter 268 The Great Soul Arena
Night fell, turning the entire sky pitch black.
Huo Yuhao, Zhu Zhuqing, Qiu Ji, and Ning Rongrong were all ready to go and headed towards the Soto City Great Soul Arena.
Each of them wore a carefully selected mask, not the iconic green of Shrek Academy, but one specially designed by Huo Yuhao to ensure they maintained a certain air of mystery in the Soul Arena.
Zhu Zhuqing's mask was a deep purple, which complemented her cold and aloof temperament.
The purple mask looked exceptionally charming on her face, like the brightest star in the night sky, making it impossible to look away.
Her eyes, gleaming sharply through the holes in the mask, seemed to see through everything.
Ning Rongrong chose a sky-blue mask, which perfectly complemented her exquisite dress, making her look like a sea sprite, fresh and refined.
Her smile, accentuated by the mask, appeared even sweeter and more captivating, seemingly capable of melting hearts instantly.
Qiu'er's mask was a dazzling gold, which complemented her noble temperament as an imperial beast, as if it were a crown tailor-made for her.
The golden mask gleamed under the lights.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were given the titles "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile" and "Netherworld Cat" respectively in the Soul Arena, while Qiu'er's nickname was even more domineering, directly called "Golden Dragon King".
Although they are still relatively inexperienced in spirit battles, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong have both reached the level of Soul Master and each possess a 100,000-year-old soul spirit.
Huo Yuhao believed that with their talent and strength, it was only a matter of time before they obtained the Golden Soul Medal.
After quickly packing their belongings, Huo Yuhao led Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong on their journey to the Soto Grand Arena.
They walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the arena.
As always, the Soto City Grand Arena was bustling with activity and filled with lively chatter. The audience was highly enthusiastic, eagerly anticipating a series of spectacular soul-fighting matches.
In the Douluo Continent, watching the Soul Fighting Competition has become almost the only form of entertainment for people, so whenever the competition day arrives, the entire city is filled with jubilation.
In this era, entertainment activities are relatively scarce. Fighting spirit competitions are not only a display of battles, but also an important place for people to express their emotions and interact socially.
Whether nobles or commoners, everyone was full of enthusiasm and anticipation for the Soul Fighting Competition.
The nobles wore magnificent clothes and exquisite ornaments, while the commoners dressed simply, but their faces were equally filled with excitement and anticipation.
The Battle Arena is not only a stage for battle, but also a platform to showcase personal charm and strength.
Here, everyone has the opportunity to become a hero, and everyone has the opportunity to change their own destiny.
In Soto, the lives of the incredibly wealthy are naturally filled with luxury and convenience. As the old saying goes, money makes the world go round.
In the arena, as long as you have enough wealth, you can enjoy unparalleled service.
From luxurious private rooms to exclusive front-row seats, every service is designed to meet the needs of these wealthy individuals, allowing them to experience ultimate comfort and prestige.
However, the allure of the Soul Arena isn't limited to the wealthy. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to witness intense battles between Soul Masters.
The tickets for the Battle Arena are designed with great detail, much like a grand concert, with tickets divided into different tiers.
Besides the exclusive boxes for the wealthy and the front-row seats for the middle class, there are also many affordable tickets available.
These cheaper tickets usually include a seat in the back row of the arena, or even some open spaces.
For many ordinary people, spending just one or two silver soul coins is enough for them to grit their teeth, buy a ticket, and enter the Soul Arena to watch the match.
For these ordinary people, the Soul Master competition itself is a rare enjoyment.
Many of them felt immense satisfaction and excitement simply from being able to see a Soul Master in person.
Of course, due to ticket price restrictions, the matches that these ordinary spectators can see are usually some relatively ordinary battles.
Those truly spectacular and thrilling battles are often quite expensive, and only the wealthy and noble can afford to buy the pricey tickets to enjoy those high-level matches.
Soto has never lacked wealthy people who spend money like water.
They are not only here to watch the game, but also to display their wealth and status by placing bets at the betting venue hosted by the Grand Arena.
The Soul Arena thus became a stage for the wealthy and nobles to secretly compete. They would determine who was superior through Soul Battles, much like betting on sports. Some people might win a fortune overnight, while others might fall into despair or even take extreme measures.
There's a saying that goes something like this: It only takes a second to go from the eighth floor to the first floor.
As time goes by, the time for the regular Soul Arena battles is drawing ever closer.
The audience is eagerly anticipating a series of exciting matches.
First up are the routine one-on-one and two-on-two peripheral spirit battles. Although these matches are not as intense as team battles, they are just as full of suspense and highlights.
After these two battles conclude, the most anticipated team battles will officially begin, at which point the entire arena will reach its climax.
At this tense and exciting moment, a team entered the arena.
Their appearance immediately drew everyone's attention. This is why this team was so remarkable.
Each member looked exceptionally beautiful, their charm and temperament blending perfectly with the atmosphere of the arena, as if they were the protagonists of this grand event.
At the very front of the group, a boy's figure stood out.
Although he wore an ice-blue mask, his deep blue eyes seemed to possess a captivating power, making it impossible to look away.
His face was exceptionally handsome, and his every move exuded a noble air. Yet, his eyes held an indescribable charm. These contrasting qualities blended harmoniously within him, creating a breathtaking effect.
This young man was none other than Huo Yuhao.
His presence, wherever he is, always easily draws everyone's attention.
Following Huo Yuhao were three beautiful women, all wearing masks: Zhu Zhuqing, Qiu'er, and Ning Rongrong.
Although the masks concealed their faces, their temperament and figure could not be hidden. They were like fairies descended from heaven, and every movement exuded an irresistible charm.
In their group were Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Xiao Wu, who also attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.
Ma Hongjun, a member of the team, seemed less fortunate; his appearance didn't attract much attention. This makes one sigh that this world is indeed a huge game of appearances. Huo Yuhao and his companions' destination this time was the Thirteenth Soul Arena.
As planned, each of them registered in turn using their Iron Soul Badge.
The staff scheduled their fighting matches at appropriate times to ensure that there would be no time conflicts between the two matches.
To better protect their privacy, they also decided to change the name on the Iron Soul badge, replacing their real name with a pre-selected alias.
This small change cost them ten gold soul coins each, but it was worth it for them.
Fortunately, since they had already registered before, they didn't need to go through the tedious registration process again, so the cost was relatively low.
They knew that as long as they won one more battle in the upcoming Soul Fighting Tournament, they could easily earn back these expenses.
Tang San and Xiao Wu chose to participate in the two-on-two Soul Battle competition, and then signed up for the one-on-one Soul Battle.
In a corner of the Soul Arena, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were preparing for a one-on-one Soul Battle. They were all eager to show off their skills on the field.
Meanwhile, Odewmuwei appeared somewhat lonely; he was now completely isolated.
However, Odewmuwell did not feel sad about being isolated. After all, he, Odewmuwell, was a high-ranking transmigrator who would eventually become a god.
Odewmillwell was absolutely certain that he could become a god.
After all, Yu Xiaogang could train Tang San to become a god. There's no reason why he couldn't train himself to become a god.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao led Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Qiu'er to prepare for the second team's second battle.
The match was about to begin, and Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were the first to enter the arena. They stood in the center of the fighting arena, facing their opponents.
Since neither of them is very famous, there aren't many people cheering for them.
"Next, let's welcome the Iron Tower duo, who have already achieved four consecutive victories in the two-on-two Soul Battles. With their formidable strength, they have achieved unprecedented success in the Soul Master level competition. If they can defeat today's opponents, the Cat and Glass duo, they will complete a five-game winning streak."
The host's voice echoed through the arena, eliciting cheers from everyone present.
Although Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's beauty captivated the audience, their attention was more focused on the Iron Tower duo, as the vast majority of viewers had placed their bets on them.
If the Eiffel Towers lose, many people may face huge financial losses, and some may even have to take their own lives and face unbearable consequences.
The audience's emotions were like a rollercoaster, a mix of tension and excitement. Some prayed silently, while others clutched their tickets tightly, as if they were a lifeline.
The Iron Tower Duo? As the name of the duo echoed in the air, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance.
Although they were both wearing masks and could not see each other's expressions directly, they could feel the heaviness in each other's hearts through their eyes.
They knew that they could deduce from the names of the opposing team that today's opponents were a pair of Soul Masters skilled in defense.
In the world of Soul Fighting, the type of Soul Master who is most afraid of encountering the type of Soul Master who is agile and offensive is the type of Soul Master who is defensive.
Because of the resilience and endurance of defensive-type Soul Masters, they can often withstand the swift attacks of agility-type Soul Masters, thus preventing the agility-type Soul Masters from fully utilizing their advantages.
They were like an impregnable fortress, leaving attackers with no way to break through and only able to exhaust their strength with each attack.
Soon after, amidst cheers and applause, the Iron Tower duo finally stepped onto the Soul Arena.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong had predicted, the two Soul Masters who took the stage were both burly men with muscles that seemed to be forged from steel and were indestructible.
Their physiques are like two iron towers, as solid as a rock. No wonder they are called the Iron Towers; the name is truly fitting.
With each step they took on the Soul Battle Platform, it was as if the ground trembled; their very presence was a deterrent.
As soon as the Iron Tower duo stepped onto the Soul Arena, they began to carefully observe Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong on the opposite side.
When they saw Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, confident smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
As the battle is about to begin, the emotions of the audience around the arena have been fully stirred.
Amidst such a lively atmosphere, the host dared not delay for even a moment and immediately announced loudly, "The competition begins!"
With that command, the entire arena seemed to ignite, and the cheers and applause from the audience grew even louder, as everyone eagerly anticipated this spectacular duel.
The spotlight focused on the dueling arena, making the shadows of the two Soul Masters appear even more mysterious and unpredictable amidst the interplay of light and shadow. A tense atmosphere permeated the air, as if time itself had frozen at this moment.
