In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

P.S.: First update. I have something to do tonight, so I'm updating earlier today.

Thank you to [伴月挽人归] for the 1000 Qidian Coins reward.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Lan Si's Scheme

Ning Rongrong subconsciously asked again, "Then why didn't you just tell me that Lan Si is the one who loves to eat rabbit meat?"

But as soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it, because she noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's expression had changed, becoming increasingly cold.

Zhu Zhuqing said indifferently, "A-Si has never asked me anything about Shrek Academy, and I will not betray him by using my knowledge of him for a mere Soul Battle. If you want to talk, I won't stop you; it's your freedom. I consumed a lot of Soul Power during the previous Two-on-One Soul Battle, so I'm going to recover first. You can do as you please."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing turned around and returned to the private room without looking back. She walked to a corner, sat down cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.

"Zhuqing, I..." Ning Rongrong hurriedly followed, looking at Zhu Zhuqing sitting cross-legged in the corner meditating. Her gaze was very complicated, and she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had lost something important and precious.

Did she really do something wrong?

Inside the private box where the Royal Fighting Team is located in the Soto Arena.

Qin Ming, the team leader of the Royal Fighting Team, handed over a stack of documents with a somewhat strange expression and placed it on the table. "It seems you're about to meet your match. Take a look, this is the information on your opponent tonight."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Royal Fighting Team gathered around to look at the information, only to be greatly disappointed by what they found.

The Shrek Seven Devils team, all members of which wear the Iron Fighting Emperor badge, have unknown origins.

Captain: Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 38 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Vice-Captain: Thousand-Handed Asura, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass, Level 32 Control-type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Soft-Boned Enchantress Rabbit, Martial Soul: Jade Rabbit, Level 31 Close-Combat Power-Attack Type Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Evil Phoenix, Martial Soul: Evil Phoenix, Level 28 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Team member: Netherworld Cat, Martial Soul: Netherworld Cat, Level 28 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

Team member: Sausage Specialist; Martial Soul: Sausage; Level 31 Support-type Weapon Soul Master; Soul Rings: Two Yellow and One Purple.

Team member: Qibao Liuli, Martial Soul: Qibao Liuli Pagoda, Level 27 Support-type Weapon Soul Master. Soul Rings: Two Yellow.

"Four Soul Masters and three Great Soul Masters, and their badges are Iron Douluo. Teacher, is this considered an opponent?" Vice Captain Dugu Yan spread out the documents in her hand, looking puzzled.

Qin Ming said calmly, "Don't underestimate this team. Yes, a month ago they were Iron Battle Soul badges, but through this month's battles, their points have reached the Silver Battle Soul level. They even achieved a 27-game winning streak. Do you remember the Berserker team that you fought against a while ago? They were their defeated opponents."

Yu Tianheng stared at the information in his hand with some surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Their soul power is so much lower than the Berserker Team's? How could they possibly win?"

Upon hearing this, the others also turned their attention to the soul power of the Shrek Seven Devils. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed quite low, and they immediately began to tactically taunt them.

Qin Ming was getting a headache from the noise of this group of troublemakers. He turned his gaze to Lan Si, who had been leisurely leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed the whole time, and asked with a wry smile, "A-Si, what do you think?"

To be honest, Qin Ming couldn't quite figure out this student. It was as if nothing could shake him, not only in terms of strength but also in terms of mentality. No matter how strong the opponent was, he could always deal with them calmly.

Lan Si slowly opened her eyes and chuckled, "Teacher Qin Ming, isn't this great? Morale is the most important thing in war. Tianheng and Yanyan have confidence, which is not a bad thing. Besides, there are a few old acquaintances of mine in Shrek Academy. I also plan to join in the fun. Even if Tianheng and the others are defeated, as long as I'm there, the Royal Fighting Team can still win in the end."

From the very beginning, Lan Si had no intention of completely ruining the original plot. He had spent several years at Tongwen Hall and knew how to concoct some poisons, but he couldn't concoct an antidote to neutralize the massive amount of poison in Dugu Bo's body. Even if he could, he didn't like entrusting his life to strangers.

So, very early on, Lan Xichen began plotting to use Tang San to distract Dugu Bo, and then, during that time, he would plunder the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

Therefore, as early as his time at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, he frequently went to Sunset Forest and found the location of Dugu Bo's poison array.

As for this battle of spirits, he will not make a move until Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom is countered.

Upon hearing Lan Si's words, Qin Ming was slightly taken aback, instinctively thinking that he had misheard, and his face showed disbelief!

The rest of the Royal Fighting Team erupted in protest. "Ah Si, if you say that, we're not happy. What do you mean we'll still have you if we lose? Do we look like people who would lose?"

"Then pretend I didn't say anything. If you win later, you can choose any place within the Heavenly Dou Empire, and I, Lord Lan, will pay for it." Lan Si shrugged slightly.

"Little brother A-Si, you said it yourself, right? When we get back to Tian Dou City, I'm going to give you a good beating, one you'll never forget. I won't make you treat us to a meal; I'll just take us to the Tian Dou Auction House later, and we can each pick out something we like." Dugu Yan blinked her bright green eyes, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, the rest of the Royal Fighting Team gasped. "Wow, Yanzi, you're too ruthless! The cheapest items at the Heavenly Fighting Auction House cost tens of thousands of gold soul coins."

"There's nothing I can do. It's just that our little brother A-Si looks down on us so much! Besides, little brother A-Si has been making a fortune lately, and I've been looking forward to taking advantage of him." Dugu Yan shrugged.

Lan Si smiled and gave an unexpected answer, "Okay. Then Lingling and I will stand behind and watch. As long as you win, you can choose whatever you want from the Tiandou Auction House that I can afford."

"Haha, then it's settled. Teacher Qin Ming, you have to be our witness," Oslo and the others chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling looked puzzled and gave Lan Si a resentful look. In her opinion, Shrek Snow Night had no chance of winning at all. Wasn't Lan Si just throwing money away?

Yawen Library

You have to understand, the items at the Tiandou Auction House aren't cheap. Even if you're rich, you can't afford to spend like that.

Lan Si gently stroked Ye Lingling's sky-blue hair, returned a reassuring smile, and said softly, "It's okay, as long as everyone is happy. Besides, we will be participating in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition in the future. It would be best if I lost. If I win, it will be a small lesson for these arrogant guys, so that they will not underestimate the Soul Masters of the world."

P.S.: Second update

Chapter Sixty-Six: Royal Battle vs. Shrek

Surrounded by the members of Huang Dou, Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with admiration when he heard what Lan Si said to Ye Lingling. Yes, this was just like the Lan Si he knew. No matter who the opponent was, she would never underestimate them. This time, she just wanted to let Yu Tianheng and the others know that there are always people more powerful than you, and that you should not underestimate any Soul Master in the world.

He immediately agreed: "Alright, this time Tianheng, Yanzi, Lingling, Shimo, Shimo, Aosluo, and Asi will be the players. Yufeng, you can stay in the VIP box and watch the match with me through the crystal window."

"Yes, teacher." Yu Feng did not show any dissatisfaction or surprise. Lan Si's strength was obvious to all. Even Yu Tianheng, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, did not dare to say that he could win for sure. If Lan Si participated in the group battle, then he and Oslo were destined to be eliminated.

Who told them that their strength was among the weakest of the Royal Fighting Team's Soul Masters?

"Ah Si, are you still going to bet on this Soul Battle? This time, our Royal Fighting Team's odds are 1 to 1, while Shrek Team's are 1 to 5," Qin Ming asked Lan Si.

“Of course.” Lan Si took out a gold card from his soul tool: “Just bet 500,000 gold soul coins for me, betting on the Royal Fighting Team to win.”

Qin Ming frowned. "Isn't this a bit too risky? It seems you don't plan to make a move before Tianheng and the others fail. If Tianheng and the others lose, are you confident you can handle all five Shrek Academy Soul Masters at the same time? Lingling is only a support-type Soul Master and can't provide you with direct assistance in battle."

Lan Si chuckled awkwardly, "Teacher Qin Ming, I know, and I've also fought against some of the Shrek Academy members. No matter how strong they are, they're just my defeated opponents. Besides..."

As he spoke, Lan Si's expression suddenly turned serious. "The enemies who are defeated by me are never considered my opponents. I give them time to catch up until they are out of sight."

"This..." Qin Ming took the gold card from Lan Si's hand, a wry smile on his face. He had originally thought Yu Tianheng and the others were already arrogant enough, but now it seemed Lan Si was even more so. However, if Lan Si could remain invincible, perhaps he really could succeed...

The main arena at the heart of the Soto Grand Arena.

The area here isn't very large, only slightly larger than the other branch arenas. There are no open-air stands or spectators around, only enclosed boxes. The spectators inside the boxes can only see the scene inside the arena through crystal glass on one side, while people outside cannot see through the boxes, making the entire central arena extremely quiet and full of mystery.

Because the main arena in the center has no open-air stands, the arena itself is exceptionally large, with a diameter of over seventy meters, enough to accommodate hundreds of people fighting.

Suddenly, the already bright lights in the main arena in the center increased again, then focused and converged in mid-air. A girl with snow-white wings on her back, a graceful figure, full breasts, and long brown wavy hair, holding a cone-shaped megaphone and wearing a professional smile, flapped her wings and slowly descended onto the arena with the lights.

After landing, the girl twirled around once, waved sweetly to the audience behind the crystal glass of each VIP box, and then announced in a clear, melodious voice:

"I am your host, DouDou. It is an honor to once again host the Team Soul Battle Tournament at the Central Soul Arena for all of you. Today, the Soto City Grand Soul Arena will witness a major event, and this is the only match we have scheduled for tonight. Although they are only at the Soul Master level, they are all holders of Silver Soul Badges, true geniuses. They certainly will not disappoint you. Now, let me introduce the two opposing teams."

"First up is the Royal Fighting Team, captain Yu Tianheng, whose martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex..."

"Then came the Shrek Seven Devils, with their captain being the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, whose martial soul is the White Tiger..."

As the host's words faded, the Royal Fighting Team and the Shrek Seven Devils took to the stage, facing each other in a row of seven in the center of the arena, captains facing captains, vice-captains facing vice-captains...

Before the match even started, their eyes clashed fiercely, locked in a tense standoff.

Lan Si stood beside Dugu Yan. Whether by coincidence or otherwise, the person standing opposite Lan Si was none other than Xiao Wu, the one who had been beaten to a pulp by Dugu Yan last time.

On Xiao Wu's left and right sides stood Vice Captain Tang San and Little Cat.

"What a small world! I didn't expect to meet you so soon." Xiao Wu took the initiative, casting a provocative glance.

Lan Si feigned innocence and paused for a moment, then turned to look at Dou Dou, pointed at Xiao Wu, and asked, "Host, who is this guy?!"

“Uh…” The host, Dou Dou, was a little embarrassed. Since the establishment of the Soto City Grand Soul Arena, this was the first time that a contestant had asked the host about the identity of her opponent. “I’m sorry, I’m a Soul Master who loves to eat rabbit meat. The Grand Soul Arena does not allow the disclosure of contestants’ identities in private. However, I can tell you her contestant’s name. It is ‘Soft Bone Charming Rabbit’.”

"Oh..." Lan Si tapped his palms, looking as if he had just realized something. He first winked at Zhu Zhuqing, which made the latter's lips curl up slightly. Then he teased Xiao Wu, "So you're the old rabbit I kicked into a pig's head last time? I was wondering why you looked so familiar. I've been squandering so many Soul Masters in the past month that I couldn't remember you right away. I'm really sorry."

"Looks like you've recovered. Tsk tsk... It's a good thing I held back last time, otherwise, if I had used the full power of the Disfigurement Kick, you would have turned into more than just a pig's head."

This time, Lan Si was still wearing the same blue outfit he wore when he fought Xiao Wu last time, and he was also wearing a mask. Because he had met Tang San and Xiao Wu in his true identity a month ago, Lan Si even made a slight change to his voice to satisfy his wicked sense of humor.

"You..." Upon hearing the word 'pig head,' especially from the person who had beaten her into a pig's head, Xiao Wu's face immediately turned red, her eyes welled up with tears, and in her rage, she was about to unleash her martial spirit to give Lan Si a good beating.

At this moment, she was furious. The person she had been longing to take revenge on had not only forgotten her, but also dared to touch her taboo.

Indeed, pig heads are a taboo subject for Xiao Wu.

Nowadays, these two words are not only taboo in Xiao Wu's heart, but also in the hearts of everyone in Shrek Academy, because as long as someone mentions the words "pig's head" and makes Xiao Wu sad, no matter who it is, Tang San will immediately turn on them.

Making a move before the host announces the start of the match is a violation of the rules of the Great Soul Arena. At best, it will result in a loss and expulsion from the arena; at worst, it will result in extremely severe punishment from the Soul Arena.

Tang San naturally couldn't stand by and watch Xiao Wu fall into his trap and do something foolish. He immediately grabbed Xiao Wu's hand and whispered, "Xiao Wu, stay calm. There will be plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson later." After saying that, he didn't forget to curl his lips at Lan Si and sarcastically said, "Whose little dog is this? Take it away quickly. How dare it come here and bark like that."

Lan Si said "Oh": "Who is the puppy calling?"

"The puppy is calling you." Tang San blurted out these four words subconsciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it.

Damn, isn't this just admitting you're a dog?

Chapter Sixty-Seven: A glint of wisdom flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes once more.

"Oh, oh, oh, so it was the puppy calling me." Lan Si nodded repeatedly, and the rest of the Royal Fighting Team laughed mockingly.

"Haha... These days, there are actually people who call themselves dogs."

"You know what, this Shrek vice-captain really does look like a dog."

"A rabbit and a dog, absolutely unique..."

Finally, even Ye Lingling, who was usually very serious, couldn't help but let a slight smile appear on her lips.

Compared to the Royal Fighting Team, the Shrek Academy team looked much worse, especially Tang San, who was clearly furious. After a long pause, he finally managed to utter these few words: "I hope your strength is even greater than your words."

"You'll see." Lan Si's expression was relaxed and carefree, as if he didn't take Shrek Academy seriously at all.

This caused Tang San to feel extremely humiliated. He thought to himself, "Just you wait. I love eating rabbit meat. I will make you pay a heavy price for your words and actions just now, and for hurting Xiao Wu."

"Attention, fourteen Soul Masters participating in the Team Soul Battle: You have one minute to summon your Martial Soul. After one minute, when I announce the start, you may attack. The battle will continue until one side concedes defeat, or the last member falls down or off the stage."

As DouDou flapped its snow-white wings and slowly ascended into the air, it explained in a soft, melodious voice.
