บท 18: Soul fighting arena

Nothing major happened the whole day .

It's worth mentioning that under both Hansen and Zhu Zhuqing's strong protest, they finally managed to get the same room.

Well there wasn't even a serious dormitory to begin with. They were just huts rented from the villagers. And since both parties had no problem with it, Flander also accepted it.

That night , Hansen suddenly felt strong soul power fluctuations. Hansen knew that it was Tang Hao beating Zhao Wuji for making things difficult for Tang San during the day.

Next morning

Flander gathered everyone on the ground for a meeting.

"This year really isn't bad, we have gotten five little monsters. I, Shrek Academy's dean Flender, will represent the Academy to welcome you here. In a moment, you will each hand over a hundred gold coins to teacher in charge of finances over there. Mubai."

"Dean."

Dai Mubai stepped forward, apparently very respectful towards Flender, even a bit of admiration.

Flender said:

"For your newly arrived five junior brothers and sisters, later tell them about the Academy's regulations. After that each should return to rest and as far as possible recover your peak level states. Today's first class will begin in the evening. So make sure to be in your peak state.Oscar, you and Ning Ronrong are exceptions. You two follow me. "

After that it was simply the same as in the original with Ning Rongrong finally revealing her true nature as a little witch.

Subsequently Flander took everyone to the Soutou city soul fighting arena.

Flender waved his hand, saying:

"To start off, keep up with me."

Finished speaking, just seemed his toes pointed to the ground, leaping up light as a feather, advancing towards the outside of the Academy.

Everyone hurried to keep up.

Flender all along maintained a fast pace, currently observing the gap in strength between the five students.

Following precisely behind Flender's back, was spirit power most profound Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai. Behind Dai Mubai was not at all Tang San, but Zhu Zhuqing.

Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was exquisite when it came to accelerating in a straight line, but on the contrary not equal to Zhu Zhuqing as an agility attack system Spirit Master. Therefore he and Xiao Wu were lined up side by side in third place. Hansen was fourth and Ma Hongjun last, but also not falling behind much compared to others.

All the way, Flender did not say anything, Hansen and the others also did not utter a word, in their minds still recalling the previous conversation between Flender and Ning Rongrong.

After reaching Soutou city, everyone slowed down and calmy followed behind Flander.

Flender suddenly stopped walking, looking at the sky, thinking out loud:

"There still is some time. Follow me."

Speaking, Flender brought them to enter an unremarkable tea shop on the side of the street. Everyone sat down around a round table and Flender asked for few cups of their cheapest tea.

Xiao Wu directly scowled

"Dean, our first class wouldn't be here, right."

Flender said.

"Of course not, the place for your first class, is there."

While speaking, he pointed towards the outside.

After that Flander explained his training plan.

"Your assignment is to, before graduation, hold a silver fighting spirit badge, understood?"

"Yes."

After that everyone entered the fighting arena.

Flander further informed them about other rules here.

Here, fight spirits were divided into three categories, one kind was contests, which was mutually exchanging pointers, where fierce killing techniques were forbidden. Another kind was life or death fights, used for settling disputes that could not be mediated. The last kind were betting fights. With the Great Spirit Arena as referee, in betting fights both sides sent out equal numbers of Spirit Masters to compete, the ultimate victor received the balance of the bet. Betting fights in the first place were life or death fights. Many frequently when irreconcilable conflicts appeared between nobles or schools, they would use this kind of way.

But the matches' appearance also had three kinds, one against one, two against two and group fights. Among them, in team fights the number of people on both sides followed regulations, according to the Great Spirit Arena's customs, ordinarily restricted within seven to ten people.

While everyone was registering for the fight, Hansen felt more attracted to the life and death betting battles.

"May be I can try when I come here alone later. "

Not many changes happened afterwards, with everyone else winning easily. Except Zhu Zhuqing who faced against Tang San.

Hansen also secured his win with his almost invincible defense against soul masters in same realm. Later he used the shield as a plate and simply pushed the opponent off the stage with a few flicks of his wand elegantly.

When everyone was leaving, Ma Hongjun seperated from them to extinguish his evil fire.

After reaching the academy, Hansen saw the dejected Zhu Zhuqing and tried to comfort her.

" Hey! Why the long face?

You know agility attack system Spirit Masters should hide in darkness, attacking, assassinating and scouting, these were their strongest skills. "

" This kind of frontal ring fight, to agility attack system Spirit Masters, in itself was not fair. If this was a in a complex terrain, for Tang San to prevail over Zhu Zhuqing absolutely would not be this easy. "

"And besides your soul power level in itself is lower than Tang San. So just continue to practice hard. You are the best. "

Hansen said while squeezing her cheeks.

After seeing Zhuqing regained her confidence. Hansen also thought about this matter. In the original book, Zhuqing was almost the weakest in the team except Oscar and Ning Rongrong who were auxiliary system soul masters.

" It seems that I have to advance my plans about the fairy herbs and help Zhuqing to evolve her martial soul unlike the original. "
