Chapter 112 The Formation of the Three-Five Group (Part 1)

After paying for their tea, the group of six left the teahouse and headed towards the Soto Grand Arena. [Read the complete chapters without errors]

As they got closer, the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the Great Soul Arena became even more astonishing. When Tang San and Xiao Wu first arrived in Soto City, they had never been to this location before, so they did not realize that there was such a magnificent building in the city.

The Soto Grand Arena is oval-shaped, reaching a height of 120 meters, and is divided into a main arena and twenty-four sub-arenas. It can accommodate 60,000 spectators simultaneously, including one hundred VIP boxes. It is not only a place for Soul Masters to exchange skills and techniques, but also a venue for various forces to showcase their strength.

As they walked towards the Soto Arena, Flander briefly explained the remaining situation of the arena to Tang San and the others.

Here, Soul Battles are divided into three categories: one is a game of skill, where players spar and killing is prohibited; another is a life-or-death duel, used to resolve irreconcilable disputes; and the last is a wager. The Grand Soul Arena acts as the referee, with both sides sending an equal number of Soul Masters to compete, and the final winner receiving everything stipulated in the wager. The wager is primarily a life-or-death duel. Many nobles and clans frequently use this method when significant conflicts arise between them.

The competition formats are also three types: one-on-one, two-on-two, and group battles. Among them, the number of people on both sides in group battles is agreed upon and stipulated according to the rules of the Grand Arena, generally within the limit of seven to ten people.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge stone tablet, densely engraved with names. Flander tells Tang San and the others that these names are those of those who died in the Soul Battles.

Registering for the Soul Battle here is very simple. You only need to fill out a form that includes your name, age, place of birth, and Soul, and you can receive your initial Iron Soul Badge. Of course, registration also requires each person to pay ten gold coins as a registration fee.

At the same time, a soul power test, similar to that of the Spirit Hall, was conducted to determine their respective levels. Dai Mubai told everyone that each time they came to participate in the Soul Battle, they had to undergo a soul power test first to determine their opponents.

Flander naturally wouldn't help them; Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing each completed their own registration.

What impressed Tang San was that during their registration, the staff in charge of registration didn't laugh at them for being young or show any surprise. They remained professional and efficient throughout. This simple detail revealed that the Great Soul Arena was no ordinary place.

After registration, the Soul Fighting Ranking was about to begin. Flander led them to the Game-type Soul Fighting area, gave Dai Mubai a few simple instructions, and then went into the Soul Fighting Arena himself.

Dai Mubai told Tang San and the others that in the Great Soul Arena, only those with more than five consecutive wins, a high-level Soul Badge, or an extremely high Soul Master level could participate in Soul Battles. Novices like them could only compete in the branch Soul Arenas. A winning Iron Soul Battle would earn them ten gold coins, while a loss would yield no reward.

Soon, the five were assigned to different battle arenas. Since they had arrived together, they were all placed in the fourteenth arena of the gaming area for their battles. However, Dai Mubai's opponent was a Soul Master, while Tang San and the other three's opponents were all Great Soul Masters.

The entire Great Soul Arena dazzled Tang San. The layout was incredibly detailed, with twenty-four separate arenas, each further divided into different areas: a gambling zone and a life-or-death zone. Each zone was further divided into three types: one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. Therefore, each arena had six separate stages. As for the betting matches, according to Dai Mubai, regardless of level, all betting matches would take place in the main arena.

The operating model of the Great Soul Arena has long been highly coordinated. The ticket prices are different for different Soul Arena areas. For example, the one-on-one competition in the game-like sub-arena that Tang San and his friends are about to participate in has the cheapest ticket price and the fewest spectators.

The Soul Masters participating in the Soul Battle were all arranged to rest in a spacious room, waiting to go on stage.

In the rest area, Tang San and his companions' arrival immediately attracted the attention of the other Soul Masters, given their young age. However, while the Soul Masters showed surprise, no one mocked them. Everyone meditated, striving to maintain peak condition in preparation for the upcoming Soul Battle.

Xiao Wu sat down next to Tang San and whispered, "Brother, I just asked Dai Mubai. Although each Soul Master can only participate in one competition per day, they can participate in different types at the same time. We're both level 29, so winning shouldn't be too difficult at this level. How about we sign up for a two-on-two Soul Battle to reach the required points sooner?"

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "No problem. Anyway, we're here to improve our combat experience. More combat experience is always good."

He then told Dai Mubai about his and Xiao Wu's idea. Dai Mubai naturally did not object, and as if reminded by them, his gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing. Unfortunately, their martial souls were not at the same stage, so they could not team up for a two-on-two soul battle, and he could only give up.

Dai Mubai said, "Xiao San, take Xiao Wu to the two-on-two area to register. The battle here should still be going on for a while."

Tang San nodded. Before entering, he had already spotted the registration area for the two-on-two battles. He then took Xiao Wu and temporarily left the one-on-one battle area to register for the two-on-two battles.
