The Master's previous training for the Shrek Seven Devils had primarily focused on physical fitness.
For a spirit master, physical fitness is the first step.
The second is combat. Within Soto City, the Soto Grand Soul Arena is naturally a perfect place for this.
Not only can one earn money, but one can also train these little monsters.
Shrek Academy is currently struggling to make ends meet. Although some little monsters occasionally visit the Soto Grand Soul Arena to earn money, the money they earn isn't even enough to cover the overdue payment fees; it's a drop in the bucket.
Some might ask, "Doesn't Ning Rongrong's family have the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
" The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is wealthy!
Apologize, Ning Rongrong ran away secretly this time, and her money is almost gone. Girls are used to spending lavishly.
Furthermore, her father, in an effort to dispel Ning Rongrong's image as a "little witch," ruthlessly cut off her financial resources.
Now, they had to travel to the Soto Grand Arena every night, joining the other six to form the "Shrek Seven Devils."
Having won all of their previous group soul battles, the "Shrek Seven Devils" had become a minor celebrity in the Soto Grand Arena.
Tonight and the following group soul battles, Yu Xiaogang planned to make a big splash.
...
A fortnight of travel.
From Tiandou City to Xiermos City, the entire Royal Dou Team had appeared at the Grand Arena in every major city.
Each battle was intense, proving that the masters were among the common people.
The seven-member team, led by Yu Tianheng, overcame all obstacles, triumphing throughout the journey, leaving a lasting impression in every Grand Arena.
Some Grand Arena even offered the Royal Dou Team a substantial fee to become theirs, but Qin Ming declined each offer.
They were here to train, not to earn money.
Inside the carriage.
Qin Ming said, "The next city we're heading to is called Soto City. We'll be there soon. Keep up the good work, everyone, for tonight's battle in the Soto Great Fighting Arena."
Months of intense training were now rewarded with spectacular victories.
Qin Ming was delighted.
Gazing at the approaching Soto City, Qin Ming grew increasingly nervous and excited.
It had been over a decade since he left Shrek Academy, and now , back home
, he couldn't help but recall every moment and event from his time there.
Thinking back on it now, it was truly a yearning.
Meanwhile, Zhou Sidong sat in the carriage,
one hand resting on his cheek, the other clinging to the window, staring blankly at the golden rice fields around him.
Zhou Sidong was equally distraught. Not only was the danger level of the upcoming Soto City trip skyrocketing, but there was also the matter of Flanders.
As expected, Qin Ming, upon arriving in Soto City, was like a wild horse unleashed.
He wandered the city with Yu Tianheng, Zhou Sidong, and the others, occasionally letting out a sigh of admiration.
Time is merciless!
So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Soto City remains the same, yet Qin Ming has grown up and become a respected teacher.
"Who did this?"
Qin Ming was shocked by the scene before him as he passed by Flanders' shop.
The dilapidated door was rotten, sealed with two seals.
A yellowed notice was posted above .
"Shrek Academy Dean Flanders deliberately raised prices, violating Soto City's urban management regulations. The following penalties are imposed: all merchandise in the shop is confiscated, the shop is permanently closed, and he is not allowed to open a shop in Soto City in the future. As a warning to others, Flanders is fined 10,000 gold soul coins as a warning. I hope all shops in the city will pay more attention and must not follow in his footsteps."
Dugu Yan read out the notice word for word. Qin Ming, previously beaming, now had a scowl, as if someone owed him money.
Yu Tianheng and the others, though unsure of Teacher Qin's anger, exchanged glances and remained silent.
Qin Ming stepped forward, practically pressing his face against the notice, staring intently.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could Dean Flanders do such a thing?"
As a former Shrek Academy member, Qin Ming knew both his teacher and dean well.
While Flanders was greedy, he wasn't exactly price gouging. There had to be something fishy going on.
Either Dean Flanders was in trouble, or Shrek Academy had recently offended someone.
These were the two most likely explanations Qin Ming could come up with.
Seeing Qin Ming's puzzled expression, Zhou Sidong approached him, also examining the now-yellowed notice.
If that meant Flanders hadn't been here for a long time.
Shrek Academy was facing a financial crisis, and they would have to tighten their belts for the next few months.
Zhou Sidong had only gone to the Spirit Hall to report the incident, but he hadn't expected the Spirit Hall's people to act so effectively. Flanders must be deeply resentful of him now.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sidong glanced at Qin Ming, whose brows furrowed from moment to moment. Was he doing a disservice to the people? Or was he secretly backstabbing Qin Ming?
"Sidong, have you discovered anything?"
Qin Ming suddenly asked.
Zhou Sidong was a thoughtful child, and Qin Ming hoped he could see some clues.
"No,"
Zhou Sidong shook his head and said flatly, "This notice was issued by the Soto City Lord's Mansion. Such notices are generally authoritative. I think they must have some evidence that Flanders raised prices; otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a ruling."
"Sidong is right, Teacher Qin. Do you know this Flanders?" Yu Tianheng looked at Qin Ming, and so did the others,
all with puzzled expressions. Qin Ming met the puzzled glances from the crowd and was speechless.
"I..."
"I don't know him. Flender and I don't know each other at all. Please don't misunderstand."
Qin Ming laughed and told everyone to leave.
Until the situation was clear, Qin Ming didn't intend to reveal his identity as a former Shrek Academy member.
As he made his way to the Soto Arena, Qin Ming pondered what kind of price gouging had Flender, the Dean he once revered, engaged in?
So serious that the Soto City Lord's Mansion personally issued a notice.
Qin Ming thought for a moment, then shook his head. He decided to get the team to the Soto Arena first and deal with the rest later.
Night soon fell.
The Soto Arena was especially lively at night, with a steady stream of people pouring in.
Qin Ming had already made reservations. The Royal Fighting Team stayed in the lounge, where the in-room broadcast periodically announced their opponents and the location of the battle.
Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the others left the lounge one after another, heading to their home arena.
Finally...
"Yiyue Zhidong, please prepare yourself. Your battle with the Nether Spirit Cat is about to begin. Please proceed to the third venue for a one-on-one soul fighting match."
The indoor broadcast sounded for the second time. Zhou Sidong stood up silently, found an excuse to go to the bathroom, put on his mask, and, relying on his new disguise, walked towards the soul fighting venue...
