Chapter 151: Code Name: Candle Dragon
After traveling for more than ten days, Shi Lin and his group finally arrived in Heaven Dou City.
Looking at the magnificent Heaven Dou City in front of him, Shi Lin felt that Heaven Dou City was very imposing, even though it wasn't his first time here.
Over the past ten days, Shi Lin has devoted all his energy to the Little Grass and Wood Gu. After numerous experiments, the Little Grass and Wood Gu has successfully advanced to a second-tier Gu insect, the Grass and Wood Gu.
The advanced Grass and Wood Gu can produce more and better quality Grass and Wood Essence, and its auxiliary effect on plants is also stronger.
With the Grass and Wood Gu, Shi Lin can cultivate other plants even faster.
As for the other Gu worms, Shi Lin also wanted to improve them, but the number of other Gu worms and the materials produced were insufficient to advance them to the second-tier Gu worms.
Therefore, although Shi Lin had the will, he lacked the strength to upgrade the other Gu worms to the second tier and needed to continue accumulating experience.
As for the small manor Gu, Shi Lin had already laid a thick layer of soil and planted a large number of medicinal herbs when he passed through other cities.
With light and water, Shi Lin used other materials to refine simple Gu worms, which were barely enough. He would replenish them after returning to the Shi family manor.
After entering Heaven Dou City, Flender led Shi Lin and the others directly to a small courtyard.
The yard wasn't big, but it was quite dusty, so it looked like no one had taken care of it for a while.
When Shi Lin and his group came to Heaven Dou City last time, Flender actually came with them as well.
Moreover, Shi Zhen directly gave Flender a sum of money to buy a courtyard in Heaven Dou City, since he would need to come to Heaven Dou City to purchase supplies in the future, and having his own place would make it convenient for him to stay.
After entering the courtyard, several people jumped down from the carriage.
"Clean up tonight, rest tomorrow, and start the battle the day after tomorrow morning," Flender said, waving his hand at the people in front of him.
"Yes, Dean." The group responded in unison after they had stopped.
Then, the group started cleaning up the yard, since they would be living there for a while.
All of them had experienced hardship, so they worked quickly and soon the yard was as good as new.
After tidying up the yard, Shi Lin took out some food, and the group sat down together to eat.
"Teacher, after I've eaten and drunk my fill, I'm going to the Great Soul Arena to fight!" Ma Hongjun said to Flender eagerly.
Looking at Ma Hongjun's expression, Flender shook his head helplessly.
Now that Ma Hongjun has gotten rid of the evil fire in his body, the flames within him have become several times more powerful with the help of the Fire Seed Gu. Therefore, Ma Hongjun is extremely eager to fight and show his strength.
Flender looked up at the sky. It was afternoon, and the Soul Fighting Technique would begin in the evening, so it would be quite lively going at this time.
"Xiao Lin, are you feeling alright?" Flender frowned and looked at Shi Lin before asking.
"No problem, anytime is fine." Shi Lin spread his hands to indicate that he was alright.
Flender was also worried about Shi Lin's health, since Shi Lin had fainted once when they left, which had given Flender quite a fright.
"In that case, you can head to the Great Soul Arena later. Make sure you stay safe during the battle. I'll go find my friend and pick you up tonight." Flender nodded at Shi Lin and then earnestly gave a few words of advice to the group in front of him.
"Alright!" The group nodded without hesitation, packed their lunchboxes, and left the courtyard, heading towards the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena.
"Brother Lin, are you really alright?" Oscar asked Shi Lin earnestly after leaving the house.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem. By the way, Oscar, make some sausages, we might need them when we go on stage," Shi Lin said, waving his hand at Oscar.
Oscar responded, then stopped and began making the recovery sausages.
Oscar is indeed quite capable!
The sausages produced have a long shelf life and are very effective.
A few minutes later, Oscar made eight recovery sausages.
Shi Lin and his friends each took two sausages before continuing their journey toward the Great Soul Arena.
Having a large sausage makes things a little safer; a single sausage can usually help a minor injury heal.
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City boasts the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, which is the largest arena in the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
The Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena has an appearance as black as ink, and the sides look weathered and ancient.
Even from a great distance, Shi Lin and his companions could hear the cheers and roars of battle coming from the Soul Arena.
Ma Hongjun was eager to try, Shi Lin and Shi An were expressionless, and Oscar was a little nervous.
Shi Lin noticed Oscar's nervousness and came to his side.
"Little Oscar, although you are a support-type soul master, with the Gu worm's blessing, it might be a bit difficult to fight against soul masters of the same level, but fighting against soul masters lower than you should be no problem. Don't worry, just treat it as training. If you can't beat them, just surrender." Shi Lin sensed Oscar's tension and then comforted him with a smile.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Oscar was still nervous, but he relaxed a lot.
Outside the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, people came and went in an endless stream. It was the first time Shi Lin and his companions had come here, so they mingled with the crowd and entered the arena.
The Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena is very large. Just inside the entrance is a large hall, which is magnificent and looks very luxurious.
The place was frequented by nobles and soul masters; after all, it wasn't a place for the poor.
Just as the four were about to go in, a servant dressed in a black tuxedo stopped Shi Lin.
"My esteemed lords, you are required to wear masks in the Great Soul Arena. These are free masks provided by the Great Soul Arena. If you have any other needs, please let me know," the attendant, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen, said with a smile to Shi Lin and his companions.
"Thank you." Shi Lin smiled and nodded, then took the masks and began distributing them to the people around him.
Ma Hongjun and the others took the masks and put them on.
"Brother, I'd like to ask, since this is our first time here, what do we need to do to participate in the Soul Battle?" Shi Lin asked the attendant.
It was Shi Lin's first time entering the Great Soul Arena, so he was unfamiliar with the procedures and asked the attendant a question openly.
"Here's the thing, everyone needs to register for a points badge, and then we can arrange for you to participate in the Soul Battle. Would you like me to take you to register?" The attendant nodded to Shi Lin and the others and said.
"Thank you," Shi Lin replied with a smile and a nod.
The attendant smiled slightly, then bowed and gestured for him to enter.
Shi Lin and his three companions followed the servants to a separate counter, behind which were two neatly dressed female servants.
Upon seeing the group approaching, she bowed slightly to Shi Lin and his companions, offering a gesture of respect.
"Welcome, esteemed soul masters! Welcome to the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena," the female attendant said respectfully.
"This service is fantastic!" Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, staring intently at the waitress's figure.
"Hmph! If you want to become a top expert, you must not lose your virginity before adulthood. Moreover, once you lose your virginity, the evil fire in your body will be uncontrollable." Shi Lin warned Ma Hongjun in a cold voice.
Ma Hongjun visibly tensed up; he never wanted to experience that burning, erotic feeling again.
After a chill ran down his spine, Ma Hongjun retreated behind Shi Lin, his small eyes no longer wandering around.
"Could you two please register the four of us? We'd like to participate in the Soul Battle later," Shi Lin said with a smile as he stepped forward.
"Alright, please hand over your identity badges to me first, and then register. After registration, we can arrange for you to participate in the Soul Battle." The female attendant said respectfully to Shi Lin and the others.
Shi Lin had no doubts. He gathered the identity badges of the several people together, handed them to the female attendant, and took a registration form to register them.
"Brother Lin, do you have any ideas about this code name?" Oscar came to Shi Lin's side and asked.
Shi Lin frowned and pondered, he really hadn't thought about what kind of code name to give himself.
At that moment, an image appeared in Shi Lin's mind of an ancient being whose eyes were open for daylight and closed for night.
"Candle Dragon." Shi Lin thought for a moment, then smiled faintly and said softly.
"My name is Phoenix!"
"My name is Black Rhino!"
"Then I'll call myself Chef King!" Oscar's eyes lit up when he heard Ma Hongjun and Shi An's nicknames, and he said.
The four people looked at each other and smiled, then picked up their pens and wrote down their nicknames on the registration form.
After completing the registration, Shi Lin and the others handed the registration forms to the female attendant.
"Respected soul masters, these are your identity badges and battle points badges. Please keep them safe, as you can exchange the points earned in future battles here." The female attendant pointed to a form behind her and said respectfully to the group.
After hearing what the maid said, the group gathered around the form and examined it carefully.
The items you can redeem inside are all sorts of miscellaneous things. The only valuable item is the gold soul coin, which can be redeemed for one gold soul coin with one point!
"Looks like we won't be short of money from now on," Shi Lin said with a smile, pointing to the gold soul coins option on the exchange table.
After hearing what Shi Lin said, Ma Hongjun and Oscar glared at him in annoyance.
The foolish son of the wealthy landowner actually cared about these paltry sums.
"Excuse me, when can we join the battle?" Shi Lin ignored Ma Hongjun and Oscar's gazes and asked the female attendant with a smile.
"Respected soul master, I have registered each of you four for a battle. A staff member will take you to the Soul Battle location shortly. Please wait a moment," the female attendant said, bowing to Shi Lin once more.
As expected of the largest battle arena in the Heaven Dou Empire, the staff inside are all very polite.
"Thank you for your help." Shi Lin clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to the female attendant, then sat down on the sofa in the waiting room.
"Brother Lin, I'm still nervous, what should I do?" Oscar licked his lips, sat down next to Shi Lin, and said nervously.
"Don't worry, you're a food-type soul master, surrendering won't hurt you," Shi Lin said to Oscar with a smile.
"Mmm!" Oscar nodded vigorously.
"surrender..."
"surrender..."
"surrender..."
Oscar sat to the side, closing his eyes and silently surrendering.
Oscar now possesses six Gu worms, which provides sufficient combat power, but his endurance is clearly insufficient. After all, the combat power of low-level Gu worms is not sustained, and they can only unleash a few simple attacks.
However, the Gu worms are quite powerful. As long as they win one battle, they can embolden Oscar, and things will get better and better for him in the future.
"Don't worry, this is a battle of spirits, not a life-or-death struggle. No one will die. Don't worry," Shi Lin continued to reassure Oscar.
Hearing Shi Lin's words, Oscar gradually relaxed.
Not long after, several servants dressed in black tailcoats and wearing white masks walked over from a distance and came to Shi Lin and his companions.
"Esteemed soul masters, please hand over your score badges to me. I will escort you to your respective battle rest areas to prepare," a servant said, bowing slightly to Shi Lin.
After hearing the attendant's words, Shi Lin nodded in satisfaction. These attendants were gentle and polite; the attendants trained in the Great Soul Arena were all very courteous.
Shi Lin and his companions handed their identity badges to the attendants, and then followed them to their respective battle lounges.
Because the previous match hasn't ended yet, we need to wait a while in the lounge until the last battle is over before we can start a new one.
The lounge is small, only a dozen square meters, but it is clean and hygienic, with fruit, drinks, and genuine leather sofas.
"Respected soul master, this area will open shortly. You may simply leave." The attendant pointed to a wall facing the entrance and explained to Shi Lin.
"Thank you." Shi Lin smiled, then took out a gold soul coin and tossed it to the servant.
"Thank you. Your opponent today is a level 28 soul master with the martial soul Golden Tiger, nicknamed Golden Tiger. Enjoy the rest of the battle. Farewell!" After accepting the gold soul coin, the attendant told Shi Lin what he knew, then bowed to Shi Lin before leaving the battle lounge.
Shi Lin looked at the servant with a bewildered expression.
Shi Lin only gave him a small tip because the service was good, but he never expected to unlock a hidden storyline. This is so interesting.
"A level 28 soul master should be no problem." Shi Lin stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
My own combat strength is still online.
So Shi Lin lay down on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the next battle.
Shi Lin didn't feel much pressure about this battle.
