Chapter 240 What I Saw and Heard at the Soul Arena

After communicating with Wang Lanjin and Wang Mingxu, the two prepared various things and even extorted a lot from many teachers or classmates.

The next morning, the two of them went out excitedly.

Wang Xiaofei, Huo Wu, and Shui Bing'er watched their son and daughter leave, seemingly a little sad. Especially the two wives, it seemed like it was the first time their children had ever been so far from home.

Wang Xiaofei, on the other hand, was more optimistic: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to the two of them when they go out. You two have also been through trials and tribulations. Only through trials and tribulations can you become stronger, especially in terms of mental resilience."

This was the first time Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu had traveled such a long distance, and neither of them was familiar with the directions, so they rented a carriage and began their journey to Tiandou City.

The two of them were in high spirits and very happy the whole way, almost like they were going on a picnic.

It took the two of them five whole days to reach Tiandou City.

When they saw the massive walls of Tian Dou City, both of them were shocked. Although they had read about the size and scale of Tian Dou City in books, seeing it with their own eyes was a completely different experience.

After entering Heaven Dou City, the two realized that Heaven Dou City and Elemental Academy were completely different places. Elemental Academy could be described as somewhat isolated from the world, with only students and teachers inside. Although there were many people and small cities around, their economies were far inferior to those of Heaven Dou City, and their populations were also vastly different.

After 20 years of development, the population of Tiandou City has exceeded ten million, ranking third in the entire continent according to the current population ranking.

Although they had been traveling by carriage for several days, neither of them was too tired. On the contrary, they were both quite excited. When they finally arrived at their destination, they didn't plan to rest first.

"Sis, where do you want to go now?"

Wang Lanfang thought for a moment and said, "We're almost done with everything now. Let's go to the Heaven Dou City Grand Arena first. Heaven Dou City has such a large population, the Arena should be quite fun."

Wang Mingxu seemed somewhat opposed: "Sister, according to the records, the highest level of Soul Battle Arena in Heaven Dou City is only Soul Emperor. We're already Soul Saints now, what's the point of this?"

Wang Lanfang smiled and said, "Mingxu, although you've read a lot of books, there are still some real-world situations you're unaware of. The Soul Battles within our school are just ordinary competitions between students, and even the Soul Battle Arena near our Elemental Academy is just a regular arena."

"The Soul Arena in Heaven Dou City has gambling battles, betting battles, and life-or-death battles, especially the life-or-death battles, which are said to be extremely intense."

"Moreover, there's team spirit here, and it seems like it would be even more exciting if everyone cooperated."

Wang Mingxu was a little surprised: "Sis, where did you hear all this from?"

"Teachers often come to Tiandou City, and I heard all of this from them."

Wang Mingxu sighed, "It seems there's a big difference between books and practice. No wonder my dad once told me that traveling ten thousand miles is worse than reading ten thousand books."

After some discussion, I decided to go to the Soul Arena to watch the battles first. Anyway, we both have plenty of time now and there's nothing urgent.

When the two arrived at the Soul Arena, they immediately bought two of the most expensive Soul Emperor-level team Soul Battle tickets. The ticket price for this level of Soul Battle alone was quite high, with each ticket costing 100 gold soul coins. After all, there weren't many Soul Emperor-level Soul Battles like this.

It is said that there was no such level of battle spirit before, but in the last ten years, the number of soul masters has increased, and this battle spirit has appeared.

When the two entered the arena, the entire place was bustling with noise and chatter. Many people were discussing which side would win. Judging from the size of the arena, it could probably hold tens of thousands of people.

In the center of the Soul Arena is a huge screen that clearly displays all the information of both sides in the battle, including each person's Martial Soul, Soul Power, Soul Ring Configuration, etc.

The two teams in this battle are Thunder Team and Haotian Team. Obviously, both teams have a high reputation in Tiandou City and a very good audience base.

The two people next to them were discussing something, and one of them, let's call him Person A, spoke up: "Did you know? This match between Thunder Team and Haotian Team is the focus of attention recently. Who do you think will win?"

Another person, let's call them B, said, "Is that even a question? Haotian Team will definitely win."

Passerby A continued, "I think these two teams are evenly matched and both are very strong."

Passerby B: "You don't know this, but look at their martial souls. All the members of the Haotian Team have the Haotian Hammer as their martial soul, which is known as the number one weapon martial soul in the world. And all the members of the Thunder Team have the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex as their martial soul, which used to be known as the number one beast martial soul in the world."

"However, the Haotian Sect was once known as the number one sect in the world, far more powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, so I think the Haotian team will win."

Passerby A: "But weren't beast spirits more powerful than weapon spirits before reaching the Soul Saint level?"

Passerby B: "That's true, but it depends on the specific circumstances. Back then, both the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were among the top three sects, reportedly with several thousand Soul Masters and even Title Douluo. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed in a war back then."

Passerby A: "Since both major sects have been destroyed, why would they still participate in the Soul Battle?"

Passerby B: "I guess they were forced into it by life. You don't know, the three upper sects were extremely powerful back then. Many soul masters joined them. Moreover, they colluded with the empire and didn't need to work. They survived by exploiting us commoners. Who would dare to offend them?"

Passerby A: "Weren't there laws back then?"

Passerby B: "Laws, of course there are laws, but in the past, laws only restricted us commoners. If Soul Masters made mistakes, who dared to punish them? Unlike the Douluo Federation now, where everyone is equal, even Soul Masters dare not break the law. Back then, my uncle was beaten to death for offending an outer disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Who dared to take action?"

Passerby A: "According to you, the three sects of the past were all parasites from the mainland."

Passerby B: "Pretty much. In the past, Soul Masters didn't need to work. So where did they get their living expenses from? It's nothing like now, where they need to rely on Soul Battles to make money."

"You probably don't know this, but all the sects are still operating normally. For example, the largest blacksmith shop in Tiandou City is owned by the Haotian Sect, the largest security company in Tiandou City is owned by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the largest mining company in Tiandou City is owned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"As long as you have money, you can also have these world-renowned sect disciples serve us."

……

Before the battle even started, the entire arena was already packed. Wang Lanfang and Wang Mingxu listened with great interest, and sometimes even asked questions when they didn't understand something.

The entire venue fell silent until the competition began, as everyone wanted to capture every detail.
