Chapter 186 The Spider King's Intimidating Power (Part 2)

She didn't rush to drink. Standing there, looking at everyone, her eyes slightly red, she said, "When I first came to the academy, I caused you all a lot of trouble. Back then, Third Brother and Xiao Ao were right. If I had continued like that, I probably would never have understood the meaning of friendship. So many days have passed, and we've all been cultivating together, fighting together, and going through life-and-death trials together. Thank you, my partners. I toast to everyone, and at the same time, I want to say something I've never been able to say before. I'm sorry."

After saying the last three words, Ning Rongrong downed the beer in one gulp. As she drank, two lines of crystal tears streamed down her fair cheeks.

"Rongrong, don't drink so fast," Oscar kindly reminded her. Looking at Ning Rongrong's current state, he was probably the happiest person. He had set his sights on Ning Rongrong the first time he saw her, but later suffered a setback.

But Ning Rongrong has become so adorable now. It is said that children are the most malleable, and Ning Rongrong, who is only twelve years old, is already completely different from what she was a few months ago.

"Rongrong, we are partners, we are brothers, now and forever. We accepted you back when we returned from the Star Dou Great Forest. Let's not talk about these things anymore. Come on, everyone, let's drink. But you're all too young, so drink less."

Oscar seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Rongrong, why do you call Tang San 'Third Brother' but me 'Little Oscar'? That doesn't seem fair."

Ning Rongrong blushed, glared at him irritably, but did not answer.

Ma Hongjun, who was standing to the side, noticed something amiss. "Xiao Ao, no wonder you're ranked second. You really are a bit of a goofball. I actually wish we had this kind of preferential treatment."

Oscar, being a smart man, immediately realized what was going on. He gave Ning Rongrong a deep look, almost bursting into laughter with excitement, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, it was my fault. I'll drink the penalty."

Alcohol is something that gets harder and harder to control the more you drink. Even Dai Mubai, who initially said he wanted to drink less, ended up constantly asking for more. Although the seven of them were all young, as Soul Masters, they possessed physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people. Coupled with their recent training, their ability to metabolize alcohol was undoubtedly extremely strong. The drinking session lasted a full two hours before it finally ended.

When everyone sobered up the next day, the only thing they could vaguely remember was that one person had drunk an exceptionally large amount and was the only one who remained sober at the end.

It wasn't Dai Mubai, who had the strongest soul power, nor Tang San, who had the most powerful overall strength, but Ning Rongrong, who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul.

The first to collapse was Ma Hongjun; the chubby guy's alcohol tolerance was clearly not very high. Oscar was second. Then came Xiao Wu. Surprisingly, the oldest, Dai Mubai, was the fourth to fall. Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San collapsed together. And the last one to survive was Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong not only didn't get drunk, but she actually drank the most. She drank almost one glass at a time, displaying the same ferocity she used to display when she was throwing a tantrum. According to Ning Rongrong herself, this was her first time drinking alcohol.

Afterwards, whenever the other six members of the Shrek Seven Devils thought about this incident, only two words came to mind: talent.

The battles continued, and over the next month, the Shrek Seven Devils were incredibly successful at the Soto Grand Arena's branch arena. Within a month, they participated in twenty-seven team battles, winning all twenty-seven. They were virtually unbeatable within the level 30 tier.

In the individual competition, the "Three-Five" duo also achieved an impressive 27-game winning streak. Tang San and Xiao Wu's perfect teamwork and powerful soul skills left their opponents helpless.

Dai Mubai and Oscar's Twin White Tiger duo achieved a record of 16 wins and 11 losses in 27 battles. After all, only Dai Mubai was fighting, and Oscar's sausages ultimately had limited effectiveness in this type of battle.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's Seven Treasures Spirit Cat duo performed even better than the Twin Winged White Tiger duo, as they were participating in a two-on-two Soul Battle of the tier 20 Great Soul Masters. They achieved an impressive record of 22 wins and 5 losses in 27 matches. Their eight consecutive wins earned them a significant number of points.

As for the individual competitions, the Shrek Seven Devils were all on fire. Dai Mubai achieved 25 wins in the level 30 tier, except for two losses against control-type Soul Masters. Tang San was extremely lucky, not encountering a single opponent with a fire-type Martial Soul, and despite being only level 32, he maintained a perfect record in the level 30 Soul Master tier.

After all, facing his web-like bindings, it's difficult for anyone at this level to break free without a countermeasure. Xiao Wu is a bit less skilled; although her teleportation is quite unique, she has encountered opponents who happen to counter her abilities several times, yet she still has twenty wins.

Ma Hongjun is also thriving in the top tier of the 20th class, with 23 wins out of 27 matches. Zhu Zhuqing's individual record is equally impressive, only one win less than Ma Hongjun's.

Based on this calculation, Tang San became the biggest winner. Although the winning streaks in the three different forms of the Great Soul Arena need to be calculated separately, his points still skyrocketed thanks to his multiple winning streaks.

If it weren't for the rule in the Great Soul Arena that the points gained from consecutive wins are only calculated at the end of the month, he would already be much more than just an Iron Soul Badge.

Despite this, the Shrek Seven Devils' amazing performance still caught the attention of the Grand Arena. If it weren't for their low-level Soul Badges, which didn't meet the minimum requirement of Silver Soul Badge for participating in the Central Arena, they would probably have already been invited to the Soto Grand Arena to participate in the main arena's Soul Battle competition.

When the Shrek Seven Devils came to the Great Soul Arena to participate in the Soul Battle, it was the second day of this month. This month has a total of thirty days. Apart from one day of rest, after today's Soul Battle ends, a month will finally be over. At that time, their bonus points will also be calculated. Then, they will no longer have the Iron Soul Badge they have now.

Even more remarkable is that among the Shrek Seven Devils, the captain, Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, has broken through to level 38 in soul power. This is not only due to his diligent cultivation all along, but also closely related to his physical training and combat experience over the past four months.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong also increased their soul power levels, reaching level 28 and 27 respectively. They are steadily progressing towards level 30.

As night falls, the Soto Grand Arena, located in the bustling center of Soto City, is once again brightly lit.

Spectators flocked from all directions to watch the battle. Every now and then, luxurious carriages, escorted by entourages, could be seen entering the Grand Arena through the VIP entrance.

Those were all nobles or members of large families. The only fighting spirits that could catch their eye were those that took place in the central arena of the Soto Grand Arena.

Today is the end of the month, and it also happens to be the weekend, making the Soto Grand Arena the perfect place for Soto residents to relax. Here, you can not only watch exciting spirit battles, but also try your luck with a small bet and follow your favorite spirit master's performance.

The Shrek Academy group, including Master, Flander, and Zhao Wuji, entered the Soto Great Soul Arena in completely separate groups.

It wasn't that they were trying to carefully conceal their identities, but rather that they had no choice but to do so.

After a month of intense battles, the Shrek Seven Devils achieved remarkable results, naturally becoming the focus of attention for the audience. Although they had never been to the main arena, the spectators in the outer arenas were already extremely familiar with them. The title "Shrek Seven Devils" was already a familiar and exciting name to these spectators.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and entanglement, starting ten days ago, the Shrek Academy students began entering the Soul Arena in their original forms, then changing into different clothes and wearing masks at a designated location to register for the Soul Battle.

As a result, guessing which Soul Arena the Shrek Seven Devils would be fighting in has become a favorite pastime for spectators in the outer Soul Arena.

Today was no different. They deliberately dressed simply to enter the Great Soul Arena, so no one would notice the few children who looked to be only teenagers. Over the past few months, Tang San and Ma Hongjun had both turned thirteen, and in a few more months, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing would also all be turning thirteen.

Age became their best disguise. Everyone greatly admired the master's far-sighted decision to have them wear masks.

Although the team battle started last, they were the first to register. To avoid them running into each other in the one-on-one and two-on-two matches, Grandmaster first told them the location of the team battle zones, and then had the Shrek Seven Devils disperse to different zones when participating in the first two matches. This would prevent them from meeting each other and affecting their winning streaks. Grandmaster, in his capacity as the Shrek Seven Devils' manager, handled the registration for the team battle.

Today, the master chose the eighth battle zone to register his disciples. After a month of battles, the Silver Battle Spirit level, which originally seemed extremely difficult to reach, has been basically achieved through everyone's winning streak. Now, all that's needed is to wait for the points to be calculated after today's battles.

The master did not want his disciples to receive too much attention. Once their ages were discovered, the attention from all sides would be unbearable.

Therefore, he has decided that after today, he will lead the Shrek Seven Devils into the third stage of trials that he has arranged for them.
