"The opponents were all too weak. At the Soul Master level, I feel like no one can rival my brother anymore," Dongfang Yao said with some regret.
The little girl was a bit disappointed at not seeing her brother display his prowess.
Faced with the praise, Dongfang Jing affectionately patted her head.
He didn't deny her words.
They headed to the betting table.
Few people were betting on this match, so the odds were low.
The staff member took out ten gold soul coins, his attitude now respectful; he had clearly learned of the astonishing scene in the previous match.
Dongfang Jing sensed his own condition; his soul power was basically undiminished.
He then challenged to another match.
Although the opponents were all weak and wouldn't provide him with any practical experience,he still had to abide by the rules of the Soul Arena and gradually upgrade his Iron Soul Badge.
The second, third, and fourth matches were also easily won without any suspense.
It was noteworthy that from the second match onwards, the number of people in the audience increased significantly.
The name 'Lord Jing' was mentioned.
This caused quite a stir among those who enjoy watching Soul Master ranking competitions.
Most importantly, after so many matches, they still didn't know what Master Jing's first Soul Skill was!
These days,Dongfang Jing trained his physique in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors in the mornings, meditated to cultivate his Soul Power at the inn at noon, and consistently participated in two Soul Battles in the Grand Soul Arena in the evenings.
The rules of the Grand Soul Arena:
To advance from Iron Soul to Bronze Soul, one hundred points are required.
One point is awarded for each victory.
After five consecutive wins, the sixth win adds ten points, and after ten consecutive wins, the eleventh win adds another one hundred points.
Currently,Dongfang Jing has won twenty consecutive matches and has reached the Bronze Soul badge.
Upgrading from Bronze Soul to Silver Soul badge requires one thousand points.
Each win grants ten points, and the point gain rate for consecutive wins is the same as for Iron Soul.
He only needs one more win to advance to Silver Soul.
But now there's a problem.
After half a month of training, his Soul Power has reached level 18.
However, they were still considered Soul Masters.
Within the Winchester Grand Arena, no Soul Master below level 20 could advance to Silver Soul Master; in fact, very few even possessed Bronze Soul Master badges.
And they had all been brought to tears by Lord Jing, daring not to accept another fight.
This resulted in Dongfang Jing being stuck at the Bronze Soul Master stage.
In the players' lounge, on the sofa, Dongfang Yao nestled obediently on her brother's lap, gazing intently at the boy's profile as he meditated with his eyes closed, her large eyes sparkling with undisguised admiration.
"Brother, even those who fought you once are afraid to fight you anymore, how are we supposed to upgrade our badges?"
This question was completely irrelevant to Dongfang Jing.
"If I can't advance, then I won't. What's the point of that broken badge? Can you eat it?"
"Huh? But if you advance to Silver Battle Soul, you'll be even more popular, brother."
"Popular?" Dongfang Jing shook his head. "Advancing to Silver Battle Soul means winning more Soul Coins and more honors. So if I really want to advance to Silver Battle Soul badge, there's another way: challenge those Great Soul Masters with higher Soul Power than me."
He exited meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and lowered his gaze: "But Yao'er, do you think your brother is the kind of person who likes to be admired by everyone?"
"Uh, not really," Dongfang Yao said somewhat awkwardly.
Unlike Dongfang Jing, the little girl actually quite liked that feeling.
After watching so many matches, she had inadvertently projected herself into the situation.
The boy continued, his tone slightly serious: "Besides, the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow. Maybe I'm already being watched, and you, who's always by my side, will be too.
Being so flamboyant, be careful some bad guy might devour you!"
"Hmph~ No way, I'm here with my brother, he'll protect me~" Dongfang Yao puffed out her cheeks arrogantly, raising her chin. She grumbled.
But she did take his words to heart.
Her brother said there were many bad people in this world.
So she'd be as sneaky and cautious as him.
Ten minutes later.
In the corridor of the players' rest room.
A portly, greasy middle-aged man trudged heavily towards 'Lord Mirror's' rest room.
Zhen Qian was the manager of this grand arena. He'd heard from his subordinates that a Soul Master, suspected to be a genius from a reclusive family, had come out to train.
He hadn't lost a single match so far.
Just one more win and he could advance to Silver Soul Master.
So Zhen Qian had come to propose a cross-level challenge to Lord Mirror.
'Heh heh, a Soul Master versus a Great Soul Master, that'll be interesting!'
'The audience will definitely be excited! If I make an exception and schedule this match on the main arena, I wonder how much money I can make, oh ho ho ho ho!'
Zhen Qian imagined the wonderful scene and knocked on the door of the rest room.
Knock knock!
However,the Lord Mirror he was thinking of had already returned to the Seven Treasures Inn after receiving his winnings and the gold soul coins from his bets.
Dongfang Jing was unaware that the manager had come to see him.
Even if he knew, even if the other party didn't say anything...
He could roughly guess the supervisor's intentions—to persuade him to take on a challenge beyond his level to create a spectacle.
But he had no interest in that and preferred to leave as soon as possible.
"Yao'er, pack your bags. We're leaving the city tomorrow."
"Okay."
Dongfang Yao didn't ask anything.
She obediently opened the wardrobe and took out her clothes.
Dongfang Jing stood there, his gaze following his sister's movements.
Her compliance made his heart feel heavy.
"Aren't you going to ask why?"
Dongfang Yao folded a white dress into her suitcase.
Hearing this, she tilted her head, her tone light and cheerful: "It's okay, brother can decide. Yao'er will listen to brother!"
After saying that, she ran over and grabbed the boy's hand: "Brother, don't just stand there, help me pack."
"Okay."
As night fell,Dongfang Jing leaned against the bed wall and unfolded the map in his hand.
Dongfang Yao leaned over and whispered, "Brother, have you decided on your destination? Shall we go to a southern city?"
"I'm sorry, Yao'er, you have to come with me to another place. I'll take you somewhere farther away next time, okay?"
"Mmm...okay~" The little girl was drowsy, her eyelids barely open.
She still mumbled, "Brother...want to go..."
"Hehe."
Dongfang Jing smiled slightly, put away the map, and extinguished the oil lamp.
He lay down, resting his head on the soft pillow, and closed his eyes.
He began to ponder his next plan.
He had initially chosen to come to Winchester City purely because of the danger of Fallen Soul Masters.
Now that the Spirit Hall had wiped them out, they could go home.
But the situation in the city was complex; there was no guarantee that one or two hadn't escaped.
For the sake of safety, it was best to wait until they were strong enough to return.
Furthermore, since they wanted to become Soul Masters, they couldn't always stay in a small city like Lingfeng City.
Whether it was to obtain better cultivation resources or to broaden their horizons, they had to go to a larger stage.
After careful consideration, Dongfang Jing has made his decision.
Judging by his current cultivation speed, his soul power will break through level 20 in a few months, requiring him to acquire his second soul ring.
He also has a general idea of what kind of soul beast he needs.
Therefore, his next stop will be Shuilan City!
