Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

After a moment's thought, Shang Sui slammed his hand on the table and made his decision. "Let's arrange a slightly more powerful Great Soul Master. The Soul Rings must be of the hundred-year type, and the battle record must be impressive. Although Great Soul Masters are several times more powerful than Soul Masters, Jax is very strange. He has never used his full strength. It's always better to be a little conservative."

"But what if Jax actually wins?"

A staff member standing nearby suddenly asked with some concern.

"Isn't it good to win?"

Shang Sui smiled and asked in return, "If Jax really wins, we'll make even more money. That's a Soul Master defeating a Great Soul Master, which will definitely drive even more people crazy. Even if we lose, it doesn't matter, we've already made a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, the staff member immediately realized what was going on.

"The supervisor is so thoughtful!"

"Stop flattering and get things done. The battle in three days will be unprecedented. Remember to arrange for more people to avoid causing trouble."

"Forget it, I'll choose the candidates myself. Just remember to balance the odds between the two sides a bit."

"Yes, supervisor!"

As the news continued to spread, Sword City became increasingly lively.

at last!

Three days have passed, and the long-awaited one-on-one battle against a higher-level opponent is just around the corner.

Countless people gathered in the main arena early on. Even though there was still some time before the battle began, the main arena was already bustling with people, and even the aisles were full of people.

Among them were not only nobles and Soul Masters, but also some ordinary people.

The scene was incredibly lively.

To maintain order, all the staff inside the Great Soul Arena were extremely busy, but thanks to Shang Sui's promise of bonuses, not a single person complained.

The sky gradually darkened.

At the end of the street, a figure quietly appeared and slowly walked towards the Great Soul Arena.

Chapter 23 Crossing Levels, War Begins

The Sword City Grand Arena also boasts a magnificent and resplendent interior.

Despite the large number of spectators gathered here, the arena staff managed the crowds effectively, ensuring that the scene remained orderly and not chaotic.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man and a boy looked around with curiosity.

"Teacher, there are just too many people! Our Soto City Grand Arena can't compete at all!"

The boy was broad and stout, with striking red hair. His eyes were full of excitement, but soon his gaze was drawn to the voluptuous women around him.

Before he knew it, saliva was even dripping from his mouth, making him look extremely lewd.

The middle-aged man next to him immediately slapped the boy hard on the back of the head, his expression helpless. "You little brat, tone it down a bit, don't embarrass yourself. We're here on serious business!"

"I understand, teacher."

The boy winced in pain, clutched his head, and pouted in grievance, but still nodded obediently.

Guided by the staff, the middle-aged man walked briskly to the front desk, eventually stopping at the gambling area and gently tapping his hand on the table.

"Hello, I'm here to bet on Jax to win."

"Okay, sir!"

The staff member took the money bag from the middle-aged man, smiled politely, and didn't react much; they had experienced this situation countless times before.

In fact, many people came here today specifically for the challenge of overcoming higher levels of difficulty.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, sir. This is your betting receipt. Please keep it safe."

"Thank you very much!"

The middle-aged man reached out and took it, carefully placing it in his pocket as if he were guarding some rare treasure.

"Teacher, you're being too hasty. This Soul Battle is a challenge between Soul Masters of different levels, a Soul Master fighting a Great Soul Master. You're betting on the Soul Master to win? If they lose, you'll lose everything!"

Seeing his teacher's radiant face, the boy's expression changed, and he quickly began to offer advice.

"Go away, what do you know, you little kid!"

The middle-aged man pushed up his square-framed glasses and waved his hand impatiently. "Do you think your teacher is such a reckless person? I found out before placing the bet that Jax, although only a Soul Master, has reached level nineteen in Soul Power, only one Soul Ring away from being a Great Soul Master."

"To achieve a thirty-game winning streak without using a martial soul or soul skills, he must be extraordinary. His true strength is at least comparable to a Great Soul Master. Buying him is definitely a good investment."

After speaking, the middle-aged man was clearly confident.

"You make it sound so true."

The boy pursed his lips, clearly not believing his teacher's words. After all, he was also a Soul Master and naturally knew very well how big the gap was between each major level.

Not only is the Soul Master's Soul Power inferior to that of a Great Soul Master, but they also lack a Soul Skill. Want to win? Dream on!

Although he thought this way, the boy didn't voice his thoughts aloud, otherwise he might get a verbal lecture from his teacher.

"Teacher, so you want to bring Jax into the academy?"

“I have that idea,” a glint of light flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. He didn’t hide it and nodded slightly. “Hongjun, as you know, there are too few students at Shrek Academy. Now that we’ve finally found a suitable prospect, I naturally want to try to get him.”

"Tch, isn't it because you're too greedy, teacher, and set the bar too high? Otherwise, how could you not be able to recruit anyone besides me and Xiao Ao?"

"Shut up, you!"

The middle-aged man was clearly annoyed and smacked the boy on the head hard, causing the boy to wince in pain.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow me to the main arena. Don't miss it!"

The middle-aged man pulled the boy through the crowd and into the main arena.

The dazzling lights shone down, and the entire arena was filled with shouts. However, the match had not yet started, which showed how lively the scene was and how much the audience was looking forward to this cross-level battle.

"Wow, it's so lively!"

Hearing the clamor and shouts around him, the boy was also stirred up, his eyes filled with excitement and envy.

"Envious, aren't you?" The middle-aged man smiled and reached out to ruffle the boy's red hair. "If you're envious, then cultivate diligently. When you become strong, you too will be able to receive the support and cheers of so many people."

"Yes, teacher, I will try my best!"

Just then, a host wearing a long dress suddenly fell from the sky and hovered directly above the Soul Arena. Behind her, a pair of dazzling wings fluttered slightly, making her as beautiful and charming as a fairy descending to earth.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

The once spirited young man instantly reverted to his lecherous ways.

The middle-aged man's gratified smile froze instantly, and then he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

This kid is hopeless!

"Good evening, everyone. I am your old friend Yiyi. It is an honor to host the main arena tonight. I believe you are all eagerly waiting."

“That’s right, Yiyi is also very much looking forward to it.”

"The long-awaited battle between higher-level opponents has finally begun again today. The two participants are Ao Feng, a battle master with the beast spirit Cloud Leopard, and Jax, our favorite in the Grand Arena, a battle master who has achieved a 30-game winning streak!!!"

"So who will emerge victorious in this battle? Will Ao Feng defeat his formidable opponent, or will Jax pull off an upset and continue his winning streak?"

"Without further ado, please welcome both contestants to the arena!"

As the host Yiyi's sweet voice rang out, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

"Jax, Jax, Jax"

"Proud wind, proud wind, proud wind."

The main arena was packed with people, and the audience in the stands cheered and shouted rhythmically, their voices rising in waves, and the atmosphere became increasingly frenzied with their roars.

After a long wait, my emotions have finally been completely released.

"call out!"

A dark shadow flashed by, and a man suddenly appeared on the battle stage. He was about 1.7 meters tall, looked to be nearly 30 years old, had broad shoulders, a resolute appearance, short white hair, and exceptionally sharp eyes.

On the other side, Lin Chuan walked out of the passage at a leisurely pace.

The moment it appeared, it was locked onto by countless gazes.

If an ordinary person were stared at by so many people, they might feel their scalp tingling or even extremely nervous. However, after a month of this ordeal, Lin Chuan had long since become accustomed to this situation and was naturally unaffected.

Lin Chuan stepped onto the Soul Battle Platform, taking the opportunity to sized up his opponent.

A sweep of Observation Haki revealed that Ao Feng's soul power was around level 27. The Great Soul Arena had indeed arranged a decent opponent for him!

If it were an ordinary Soul Master, being nearly a whole realm ahead would mean surrendering without even fighting. Does Shang Sui, the manager of this Great Soul Arena, truly believe in him, or does he have other intentions?

Chapter 24 is out. He was killed in one strike. What's there to say?!

Regardless of what the manager of the Great Soul Arena thought, Lin Chuan didn't care much. He just hoped that the Great Soul Master in front of him wouldn't disappoint him!
