Chapter 83: Rabbits Are So Cute, Why Do We Eat Them?
After registering their names, Tang Chuan didn't immediately turn to leave.
Instead, he took out a small, heavy bag of gold Soul Coins from his arms and placed it gently on the counter.
"Oh, right, I heard that in your Great Spirit Arena's two-on-two Fighting Soul, there's a team called the San Wu Combination."
"If they're also participating tonight, could you please arrange for us to be matched with them? Is that possible?"
Hearing this, the staff member immediately looked up, giving Tang Chuan a slightly suspicious glance, then pushed up the glasses on his nose and replied expressionlessly:
"This… does not comply with regulations."
"Fighting Soul matchups are arranged by the system through a lottery; human interference is not accepted."
"Don't think you can bribe me with money.
The education I received from a young age does not support me doing such things; you've mistaken me for someone else."
Tang Chuan merely smiled faintly at this, saying nothing more.
He then took out an even larger bag from his Spirit Tool and placed it on the counter with a clang.
This bag of gold Soul Coins was noticeably much larger than the previous one, so full that even the opening of the bag was slightly bulging, making a dull metallic clinking sound as it hit the table.
Seeing this, the staff member's previously stern face suddenly changed.
His gaze immediately shifted from indifferent to fervent, his eyes fixed firmly on the bulging money bag on the table, and he couldn't help but swallow.
"You, sir, are an excellent judge of character!" he said a moment later, revealing a fawning smile.
Immediately after, the staff member glanced around, quickly got up and put away the two bags of gold Soul Coins, then solemnly wrote something in a notebook and said with a bow:
"Please rest assured, I will arrange tonight's Fighting Soul properly for the two of you."
Tang Chuan nodded slightly, his expression calm, as if everything was under control.
Xiao Ruier blinked at his side and said grumpily, "San Wu Combination? It seems you've already made up your mind to fight them tonight, haven't you?"
"Could it be that you know this San Wu Combination?"
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Tang Chuan stepped forward and whispered into Xiao Ruier's ear, "This San Wu Combination is from Shrek Academy, the ones we fought against yesterday."
"What? You mean those people…" Hearing this, Xiao Ruier froze, then her expression changed slightly, a hint of disbelief in her voice.
Tang Chuan nodded slightly again and said faintly:
"That Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master from yesterday is very close to me.
When there's an opportunity in the future, I'll tell you about our relationship."
Xiao Ruier's eyebrow twitched at this, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips.
Then, she turned her face to Tang Chuan and said in a relaxed tone:
"Do you think I didn't notice? You two look so alike, and even your Spirits are Blue Silver Grass.
Even if I were dumber, I wouldn't still be clueless by now, would I?"
As she spoke, she suddenly took a step forward, leaning her body slightly and pressing gently against Tang Chuan's ear, her voice soft but with a hint of teasing:
"Are you the elder brother, or the younger brother?"
"You guess?"
Tang Chuan's expression remained unchanged, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Since you've already guessed, then you should know why I deliberately want to fight them, right? As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father.
Since his father isn't here, I am his father."
"Now, my younger brother is mixing with this group of trash from Shrek Academy, which is like 'near vermilion, one is stained red; near ink, one is stained black.' Since his father isn't educating him, it can only be me."
"Wait." Just then, Xiao Ruier seemed to remember something.
She frowned slightly, her voice tinged with urgency, and said:
"Then if I use my Spirit later, won't my identity be directly exposed? What if they figure out who we are…"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Chuan smiled calmly and said:
"Have you forgotten that I can use Simulation?"
Xiao Ruier paused slightly, instantly understanding.
Tang Chuan continued in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll simulate your Spirit into another Spirit later; no one will see through it.
As for me… I'll use the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, not the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Spirit I simulated yesterday!"
"Just now, when registering our information, I already used Simulation to suppress both our spirit power to the level of a three-ring Soul Elder.
When they fought us yesterday, they saw us in a four-ring Soul Sect state; our spirit power rank and aura were completely different."
"No matter how much they guess, they might not connect it to us."
...…
A few minutes later.
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier walked side by side into the Soto Great Spirit Arena.
Night gradually fell, but the light within the Great Spirit Arena grew even brighter.
The roars and cheers of the audience echoed all around, deafening.
One spectacular Fighting Soul after another was being staged.
Tang Chuan watched each Fighting Soul in the arena with a calm expression, his hands in his pockets.
Soul skills intertwined, spirit rings spun, and from time to time, spirit power shockwaves would create air currents, causing the audience below to exclaim repeatedly.
"This seems to be a battle between an Assault System and an Agility System," Xiao Ruier introduced softly, standing beside Tang Chuan, her eyes under the mask gleaming with golden light.
"That Assault System… the Spirit Master whose Spirit is a bear lost," Tang Chuan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Ruier was startled.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the Agility System Spirit Master on the Fighting Soul Stage suddenly launch a sneak attack, using a Shadow Step to get behind his opponent.
Lightning flashed, and he directly knocked the burly Spirit Master with the bear Spirit off the stage.
"How did you know he would lose?" Xiao Ruier asked Tang Chuan, somewhat surprised.
"The opponent's spirit power fluctuations were very unstable from the beginning.
Just now, when he released his third Soul Skill, there was a gap, indicating a problem with his spirit power mobilization.
And that Agility System kid had been steadily controlling the rhythm, just waiting for him to expose a weakness," Tang Chuan said calmly, as if he wasn't talking about a Fighting Soul, but a game.
"Can you analyze almost every match?" Xiao Ruier glanced at him.
Tang Chuan merely smiled faintly, noncommittally, his gaze sweeping towards the next Fighting Soul Stage.
The two moved through the various sections of the Fighting Soul Arena, sometimes stopping, sometimes pausing briefly, as one Fighting Soul after another unfolded before their eyes, with victories and defeats.
Just as Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier were strolling and waiting for the two-on-two Fighting Soul to begin.
Suddenly, the broadcast crystal above the Great Spirit Arena lit up.
A clear voice spread throughout the entire spectator hall:
"Attention, the third round of the two-on-two Fighting Soul is about to begin.
Please, the I Love Eating Rabbit Meat Combination and the San Wu Combination, proceed immediately to the Fighting Soul Arena in Sector Seven to prepare!"
This clear and loud announcement instantly attracted the attention of many spectators.
And among the crowd, a delicate angry voice also sounded:
"What? I Love Eating Rabbit Meat?!"
In the crowd, Xiao Wu's entire face instantly flushed with anger, her apricot eyes wide, and her ears slightly hot.
She paused, stomped her foot fiercely, her face twisted with fury, and turned to look at Tang San beside her, saying exasperatedly:
"Third Brother! These people are too mean?!"
"Bunnies are so cute, why would they eat bunnies?!"
Her rabbit ears were now standing up due to anger, and she was like a lit powder keg, looking as if she was about to rush onto the stage to settle accounts with the other party.
Tang San was stunned, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Then he quietly patted Xiao Wu's shoulder and gently comforted her:
"Don't be angry, Xiao Wu, maybe it's just a name…"
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu suddenly shook her head, still indignant, and hugged her arms, pouting.
"No matter who he is, he must give me an explanation today!"
"Dare to eat bunnies, Sister Xiao Wu, I must let him know my power today!"
