Xiao Yan hurriedly pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms and asked with concern,"Are you okay?"
Still blushing deeply, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and shot him a reproachful glare."Isn't this all because of you, you bad guy?"
Xiao Yan chuckled, lifted the exhausted Zhu Zhuqing in his arms, and carried her back to the villa.
Early the next morning, the azure sky was as clear as flawless glazed crystal. A light drizzle, fine as willow catkins, gently drifted down, moistening the trees and earth below. The grass and leaves, refreshed by the rain, shimmered faintly with a lush green glow.
After the autumn rain, Xiao Yan and Ning Rongrong along with the others stood atop the Dark Demon Vine Tiger, flying swiftly toward Heaven Dou City.
Naturally, he hadn't forgotten Tang Hao—who was still dangling from the Dark Demon Vine Tiger's Evil God Hook.
Heaven Dou City, the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, lay slightly northeast of the empire's center. It was the political heart of the empire and one of the two largest cities on the continent, rivaled only by Star Luo's imperial capital.
At full speed, the Dark Demon Vine Tiger brought the group to Heaven Dou City by dusk.
Although Xiao Yan already knew the capital would be far more prosperous than Soto City, witnessing it firsthand made the difference painfully obvious.
The number of soul masters surged dramatically, with many Great Soul Masters and Soul Elders among them. It felt as though he had stepped straight from a rural village into a bustling metropolis.
After renting a new villa as a temporary residence, Xiao Yan let everyone rest briefly before announcing immediate combat training that very night.
Naturally, the improved location came with a steep increase in rent.
Fortunately, before leaving Soto City, they had obtained ten thousand Gold Soul Coins from Shrek Academy.
As night fell, Xiao Yan led the girls to the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena and directly registered for a team battle.
"You want to participate in a team match?"
After scanning the team information, Liu Sanjin asked in disbelief.
Six members were Soul Elders—solid enough—but the last one, a girl named Yanzhi, was only a Soul Master.
And only level eleven at that.
The gap was absurd.
Was her martial soul special? Strong enough to compensate despite being only level eleven?
Liu Sanjin glanced up and down at Yanzhi in her black-and-red cheongsam. She looked around twenty years old. Reaching only Soul Master at that age meant mediocre innate talent—her martial soul was likely trash.
An eleven-level Soul Master versus Soul Elders, separated by over twenty levels? No amount of "special" could bridge that gap.
A burden like that was a massive disadvantage in a team battle.
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.This middle-aged man… was actually a Soul Sage.
As expected of the imperial capital's arena.
Xiao Yan sighed lightly."Our strength is a bit excessive. We can only increase the difficulty this way. I wonder whether the Heaven Dou Arena can provide us with opponents worth fighting."
"Young man, that's quite a mouth on you," Liu Sanjin laughed, releasing soul pressure strong enough to crush even a level-33 Soul Elder."Only level thirty-one, and already this arrogant? Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena lacks nothing—especially geniuses."
He had seen countless prodigies here: full Soul Elder teams, optimal soul-ring configurations—nothing new.
These youngsters were decent, but hardly exceptional.
Overconfident youth always needed a lesson.
Feeling the pressure, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.Looks like he needed to show something before they'd get a proper match.
He lightly tapped the table.
Liu Sanjin's expression changed.
His soul pressure vanished into nothing, like mud sinking into the sea.
Normally, a lower-ranked soul master enduring pressure equal to two-thirds of their level was already impressive. Matching it indicated iron will.
But this boy? Calm, unfazed—and without even activating his martial soul.
"Interesting," Liu Sanjin said, intrigued, increasing the pressure to level thirty-five.
Xiao Yan calmly gathered the pressure—and sent it straight back.
Bang!
Caught completely off guard, Liu Sanjin stumbled back three steps.
Ning Rongrong didn't quite understand what happened, but she knew one thing for sure—Xiao Yan was behind it.
"Using my own soul pressure against me… exquisite control," Liu Sanjin said in surprise."Perhaps you lot really are different."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly."Just luck. If you pushed harder, I wouldn't have been able to resist."
—At that point, the man might've been knocked dead.
Liu Sanjin made his decision."Come with me. I have a special team for you—but whether you accept is another matter."
Seems the display wasn't wasted. Xiao Yan followed him with the girls into a quiet room.
"What kind of team?" Xiao Yan asked after sitting down.
Liu Sanjin sighed."A Silver Soul Team under the Heaven Dou Arena. Every member is a Soul Elder, with top-tier martial souls and optimal soul rings. At equal levels, they're nearly invincible."
Xiao Yan's heart leapt.
This was exactly what he wanted.
The Mad Battle Team's martial souls and rings were garbage by comparison.
Liu Sanjin continued,"You know about betting matches. People pour Gold Soul Coins onto them daily. If this continues, even the arena can't bear the losses."
Xiao Yan nodded."You want us to fight them?"
"But that wouldn't be fair," he added, feigning hesitation."We're only a Bronze Soul Team."
Liu Sanjin narrowed his eyes.
With that earlier move, this "Bronze Team" was anything but ordinary.
Playing hard to get, huh?
He chuckled."If you defeat them, the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena will provide an additional reward of thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
