Douluo Continent: Contract Goddess, Transforming the Mecha Girl World!

Chapter 42 The Great Battle Arena, the Real Battle Begins!

With more than an hour to go before training began, Chen Shi returned to his single cabin. It was time to wake Xiao Wu up.

But before that, he had to take a shower.

Don't ask why. The answer is that after drinking milk at Aunt Liu's, I developed a habit of removing the smell when I came back to see Xiao Wu!

Once everything was settled, Chen Shi got into bed, moved the pillow aside, hugged the little rabbit to his chest, and pinched her cheek: "Wake up, Xiao Wu~"

"Mmm~ No, let me sleep a little longer~"

Xiao Wu twisted her body in his arms, wrapped her pink arms around him, and squeezed her thighs together, successfully locking him in the quilt as well.

Seeing this, Chen Shi smiled helplessly, stayed with her for a while longer, then leaned down and took her rosy little mouth in his mouth!

"Ugh~ Ugh!"

Under Chen Shi's forceful intrusion, Xiao Wu quickly became overwhelmed and suddenly raised her head to breathe heavily.

"Hahahahaha!"

Seeing Chen Shi still laughing, Xiao Wu pouted and straddled him: "Hmph, you bad guy, I almost couldn't breathe!"

Chen Shi reached out and rubbed her little bottom: "Who told you not to get up?"

"Alright, hurry up and wash up. I bought your favorite snacks. After we eat, we'll go to training."

Chen Shi sat up, and the two of them were pressed together.

The snacks he brought back from Soto City in the evening, which he said were for a late-night snack, were actually prepared for Xiao Wu, who hadn't eaten all day.

Upon hearing this, the girl's face lit up with a smile, and she hugged Chen Shi, showering him with kisses: "Hehe, I knew you were the best to me~"

While washing up, Chen Shi used the Phoenix Mech to heat up the food. When Xiao Wu came to eat, they snuggled together, taking bites of each other's food – it tasted so good!

Although someone had already eaten and drunk their fill at the hotel in the afternoon, they still ate dinner with the little rabbit despite having a full stomach.

"Hiccup~ Hiccup~!"

With a burp, Chen realized he was truly stuffed.

Xiao Wu looked at him with a smile. Aunt Liu had told him before that boys need to eat more now that they are growing!

Especially foods like abalone, oysters, and chives, these are all very nutritious!

After they finished eating and tidied up, they arrived at the meeting point on the college playground, just in time.

Apart from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, the two support-type Soul Masters, Chen Shi, Xiao Wu, and the other six stood in front of Flander, ready to receive the special training that night.

Flander glanced at it, and after confirming everything was correct, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he lightly leaped out of the air, his toes barely touching the ground, and ran towards the outside of the academy.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed. After a non-stop race, they finally regained their normal speed outside Soto City.

As dusk settles, the city's nightlife is just beginning, with shops lining the streets brightly lit and even more bustling than during the day!

"Dean, where are you taking us for training?"

After resting for so long, Xiao Wu turned back into the bouncy, energetic little rabbit she always was, running all the way without getting tired at all.

"Your martial souls are different, so your training methods will also differ, but ultimately, the most important thing for all soul masters, and what they most need to learn, is always practical combat experience!"

"Theoretical knowledge is useless if you can't apply it in real combat; it's all just talk on paper!"

"So your first lesson today is practical combat, and that place will be your classroom—the Great Arena!"

Flander pointed to a cluster of tall buildings in the distance, his voice strong and clear, finally showing some semblance of a dean.

As they continued onward, Flander explained the origins of the Soul Arena.

Simply put, the Soul Arena is a place where Soul Masters can spar, settle grudges, and gamblers can seek thrills. It is also an excellent stage for various forces and strong individuals to showcase their strength!

"In the Grand Arena, the Battle Spirit Badge is the symbol of your strength!"

"You are all currently only Iron-tier Souls, ranked from lowest to highest as follows: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Purple Gold, Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond!"

"These eight badges are your future goals, and the task I'm giving you is to obtain the Silver Battle Spirit Badge before graduation. Do you understand?"

Flander stopped and turned to look at everyone.

At this moment, the young punk stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Dean, may I ask how one advances in the Battle Spirit Badge?"

"Hmm, that's a good question, but I'm too lazy to answer it."

"Mu Bai, Hong Jun, you two go and tell everyone about your battle record and the badge rules."

Flander sat down at a roadside teahouse. His throat was dry from running and talking all the way. He took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and said...

Upon receiving the order, Dai Mubai succinctly stated, "My Iron Fighting Spirit Badge: 56 battles, 29 wins, 27 losses, currently two points."

Then Ma Hongjun cleared his throat and became smug: "Ahem, I have 33 battles, 21 wins, 12 losses, and nine points. Although I'm only an Iron Fighter, my points will soon break into double digits!"

After hearing about their battle records, Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and immediately became disdainful.

"Hey, I'm not kidding, but you two are really terrible!"

"After playing so many games, I only have this few points? It's so embarrassing!"

Dai Mubai's face stiffened, especially when Zhu Zhuqing looked over, which immediately made him lose face.

"Hmph, what do you know? This Silver Battle Spirit Badge is extremely difficult to obtain!"

Immediately afterward, in order to prove that it wasn't that he was too bad, but rather that the rules were too strict, Dai Mubai hurriedly explained the scoring rules of the Soul Arena.

For example, to advance from Latte Fighting Spirit to Bronze Fighting Spirit, the required points are 100. Winning adds one point, losing subtracts one point, five consecutive wins add ten points, and ten consecutive wins add 100 points.

The upgrade from Bronze Soul to Silver Soul is simply a matter of adjusting the points required and the reward amount for each victory. This will continue to be the case for all subsequent badge upgrades.

Because Shrek Academy chooses the Battle of Souls, there are generally no casualties, and they can only fight once a day, and their opponents' soul power levels must be at the same stage.

After explaining, Xiao Wu's brain wasn't quite processing all that information, so she asked curiously, "Chen Shi, is it very difficult to advance to the Silver Battle Soul Badge?"

The boy shook his head, his words simple and easy to understand: "It's not difficult, as long as we keep winning!"

Upon hearing this, those who understood the rules all turned to look at Chen Shi, thinking how arrogant he was!

Flander raised an eyebrow as he sipped his tea. If it were anyone else, he, as the dean, would probably have given them a good talking-to.

But since it was Chen Shi who said that, he'd just turn a blind eye. After all, he's young and impetuous, which is normal.

However, the little rabbit suddenly realized, "That's right, why think so much? As long as Sister Xiaowu keeps winning, that's all that matters!"

After the discussion, everyone continued their journey to the arena.

Stepping into the magnificent building, which resembled the Roman Colosseum, Xiao Wu and the others let out soft gasps of amazement.

Flander adjusted his black-rimmed glasses: "Tonight, no matter what, as little monsters, each of you has to bring me your first win, you hear me?"

The crowd responded, "Yes!"

On the way to the lottery registration, Ma Hongjun suddenly said with a bitter face, "I hope we don't run into each other from our own college later, otherwise an internal conflict would be a real headache."

Chen Shi smiled slightly upon hearing this: "It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
