"Let's not rush. The main purpose of our outing this time is for training. We're going to the Soto City Great Spirit Arena to participate in a few spirit battles," Qin Ming smiled, "As for Shrek Academy, I do want to take you there, but the scale and environment of that academy are not comparable to those of the Tiandou Royal Academy. There aren't many students, and if I were to bring you all there, Dean Flender might think I've grown wings and brought you along to cause trouble."

"However, when you participate in spirit battles at the Great Spirit Arena, you might run into students from Shrek."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, except for Tang San and the Blue Silver Team, including Xiao Wu and Guang Ling, everyone else showed strong interest in Shrek.

Arriving at the Soto City Great Spirit Arena, from the outside, it resembled a Roman Colosseum, oval in shape.

Upon entering, the interior was spacious, with soul lamps emitting soft light from above, illuminating the entire hall.

As the leader of the Royal Academy's team, Qin Ming didn't need to register like others. He directly found the manager of the Great Spirit Arena and chatted with him for a few moments, then arranged for Tang San and the others to participate in the matches, allowing them to freely form a team of two for the double spirit battles.

As for the seven-member team battles, Qin Ming checked the teams at the Great Spirit Arena and found that most of them were Soul Emperor teams. Those with Soul Ancestor teams were just not present, as they had gone hunting for spirits in the Star Dou Forest.

This was troublesome.

The other teams in Soto City were not strong enough to give the Royal Academy's team pressure.

As for waiting for the team with multiple Soul Emperors to return...

There wasn't time for that.

The main purpose of the Royal Academy's team's outing this time was to exchange with the Star Luo Royal Academy. Coming to Soto City was because of his personal preference, combined with it being conveniently on the way.

However, Qin Ming could still distinguish between public and private matters. If the Great Spirit Arena couldn't provide pressure to the Royal Academy's team, then participating in the seven-member team spirit battles here would be a waste of time.

Therefore, Qin Ming planned to let Tang San and the others participate in several double battles, allowing those who hadn't become Soul Emperors to form teams to enhance their coordination, and then he would visit Flender and set off directly for the Star Luo Royal Academy.

"Alright, everyone, I've registered you for the matches. You can go and participate now," Qin Ming handed out the participation badges to everyone.

After receiving the badges, Tang San asked, "Since Soul Emperors are rare here, wouldn't it be unfair for us Soul Emperors to participate?"

Not only Tang San, but Xiao Wu, Huo Wu, and Yu Tianheng also felt that participating in these spirit battles was somewhat meaningless.

"Don't underestimate the Soul Emperors here. Participating here allows the use of any weapons, drugs, and even poison. This place is not a regular spirit battle arena, and deaths are common occurrences," Qin Ming's expression turned extremely serious, "Don't treat spirit battles as child's play."

Tang San didn't argue further. Instead, he entered the arena first, participating in the double battles with Xiao Wu.

Their opponents were a male and a female.

The male had a Spider martial soul with a soul power of thirty-nine.

The female had a Centipede martial soul with a soul power of thirty-eight.

Both of them were close to Soul Emperor level in strength.

But for Tang San, opponents like these didn't require him to use his martial soul to win.

Therefore, Tang San and Xiao Wu won this round very easily. At the beginning of the battle, the two Soul Ancestors were kicked out of the arena by Xiao Wu.

"They're weak."

Back in the rest area, Xiao Wu said to the others, "I didn't even use my martial soul. They couldn't even react."

"The soul masters from small places are no match for us," Yu Feng forgot that Tang San and the others were also from small places and laughed.

"Ahem, those two actually have pretty good strength. It's just that Xiao Wu is too strong," Yu Tianheng coughed, signaling Yu Feng to tone it down a bit, and began to objectively evaluate, "Centipedes and spiders are both poisonous insects, combined with nearly Soul Emperor level strength. Even for me, it wouldn't be easy to defeat them effortlessly. It would take at least seven or eight moves."

This wasn't Yu Tianheng being modest.

Although his martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, capable of suppressing other beast martial souls, his soul power was only at level forty-one, not much different from those two.

Therefore, if he were to compete with them, he estimated it would also take him several moves.

It can only be said that Xiao Wu is too strong.

However, Xiao Wu's ability to defeat those two was also due to catching them off guard. After all, those two were already adults, while Tang San and Xiao Wu were at most rapidly developing teenagers.

"Tiānhéng is right. Those two guys, if I were to deal with them, I might not necessarily win," Dugū Yàn supported her boyfriend's statement.

Moreover, her words weren't self-deprecating. Her martial soul, the Azure Dragon, was powerful in terms of poison, just like the martial souls of those two opponents. Their resistance to poison was definitely not weak.

Next up were Shí Mò and Shí Mò, the two brothers.

Their opponents were also a pair of twins, but their martial souls were hammers.

The two brothers also won easily.

However, when Lan Yinzi and Yè Línglíng teamed up, their opponents showed some strength.

Those two wore masks, covering the upper half of their faces, but their aura was very powerful.

"That person is Mù Tiān!"

Níng Róng Róng recognized Mù Tiān at a glance, mainly because of the very eye-catching three-headed Earth Fire Lizard on his head. It was impossible not to recognize him.

"That guy with the nose that's about to reach the sky?" Xiao Wu remembered their experience of hunting spirits, "I didn't expect him to come to Soto City. When I was at the Tian Dou Royal Academy, I wondered why he didn't come with you."

"Don't tie me to him." Níng Róng Róng immediately retorted, "He just joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that's all. We're not close."

"Why would people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School be in Soto City?" Huǒ Wǔ wondered, "Róng Róng, could it be that he's your secret guardian?"

For a large sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it wasn't surprising for someone to secretly protect them, right?

"Have you ever seen a guardian like that being so easily discovered by the one being protected?" Níng Róng Róng said somewhat speechlessly, "He just didn't want to come to the Tian Dou Royal Academy, and then he wanted to join Shrek... Teacher Qin Ming, it seems that he's the Shrek Academy you mentioned."

Qin Ming's eyes lit up upon hearing this and he asked, "Oh? It seems that this young man from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a good eye."

For Qin Ming, Shrek was a kind of faith, and if someone acknowledged Shrek, it would earn his favor even more.

"Then let's watch how the students from Shrek fight."

"I believe that those two students from Shrek can bring you a lot of insights and teach you a lot."

Learn a lot?

Not necessarily.

Tang San looked at Mù Tiān and thought to himself, "Without Austin Griffin, what kind of level can you reach?"
