A week later.
Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
[Host's presence at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena detected, sign-in successful! Congratulations, Host, you have received a reward: Seventh Grade Pill—shapeshifting pill!]
[Item Name: shapeshifting pill]
[Rank: Seventh Grade]
[Origin: A shapeshifting pill personally refined by Yao Chen, the number one alchemist of the Battle Through the Heavens World continent. After consumption, it allows a Spirit Beast to transform into human form, perfectly concealing their strength while retaining their original power.]
"Holy crap, even a shapeshifting pill has appeared."
"Seriously, System, is it because you don't know what to give as a reward anymore that you've started fleecing other Worlds?"
Golden Crown grumbled inwardly.
Seeing its reward being mocked, the System's temper flared up.
[Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, I'll take it back.]
[And then I'll judge this sign-in mission as a failure!]
"Aiya, I was just joking with you, Big Brother System. Don't be angry."
"I want it, I want it, alright?"
Golden Crown hurriedly put away the shapeshifting pill.
At the same time, he pondered who should use this thing.
shapeshifting pill.
As the name suggested, it was specifically prepared for Spirit Beasts.
He was a human.
It was completely useless to him.
The people he knew around him were all humans as well.
Was he supposed to specifically go and make a Spirit Beast friend just for the sake of this pill?
"Forget it, why am I thinking so much?"
"Since I'm already at this Soul Dueling Arena, it would be a waste not to have some fun."
He then looked at Ye Lingling and asked, "Lingling, do you want to play for a bit? Earn some pocket money?"
"Brother Mian, you decide. I have no objections," Ye Lingling said.
Seeing that Ye Lingling had no objections, Golden Crown went to the information registration desk.
"I want to register for a 1v1 soul duel and a 2v2 soul duel, and then sign up directly."
Golden Crown, who was familiar with the rules of the Soul Dueling Arena, finished speaking and placed twenty gold coins on the counter.
The staff member collected the gold coins and then took out paper and a pen to register them. "Please each choose a nickname for the matches. Additionally, you need to come up with a name for your duo."
"I'm General Pan Feng," Golden Crown blurted out.
Ye Lingling thought for a moment and said, "I Love Eating Rabbit Meat."
How should one put it? Ye Lingling's nickname truly exposed her preferences.
And their duo's name was: Cold Crocodile Duo.
The staff member quickly entered their information into the system.
Then, they took out two bronze badges and handed them to Golden Crown and Ye Lingling.
After Golden Crown and Ye Lingling took their badges and bought two masks...
...they entered the Soul Dueling Arena directly.
As for whether it was beneath the dignity of a dignified Spirit Saint to bully a group of Level 20 or 30 Spirit Grandmasters and Spirit Elders...
To that, Golden Crown only wanted to say one thing.
So what?... Meanwhile.
In a certain waiting area of the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.
The Shrek group had also arrived here to participate in soul duels.
After spending a week together...
Tang San and the others had slowly begun to grow familiar with each other.
However, unlike the original story...
The Shrek Seven Devils, who should have been seven people, only had six at the moment.
They were Tang San, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.
As for Ning Rongrong, for some unknown reason...
...she had not come to Shrek to enroll.
Currently, inside the private box.
The "Brothel Phoenix" Ma Hongjun sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, boasting, "Aiya, that opponent just now was way too weak. This Lord Fatty only used one Phoenix Ray, and the other guy was almost finished."
"That's enough, Fatty. Don't just brag about yourself. The battle Little Ao and I had just now was also very strong, wasn't it?" the flirtatious Dai Mubai interrupted.
The uncle-looking Oscar quickly chimed in upon seeing this, "Exactly! With the support of my Big Sausage, Boss Dai was simply unstoppable. He sent that Spirit Grandmaster flying with a single punch."
"Of course! I am the Evil Eyes White Tiger Dai Mubai; a mere Spirit Grandmaster is nothing to me." Dai Mubai arrogantly took out a comb and brushed his hair.
He then turned to ask Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent in the corner, "Zhuqing, how did your 1v1 soul duel go?"
"I won!"
After Zhu Zhuqing said those two simple words...
...she turned her head away.
At this moment, her heart was filled with utter disdain for Dai Mubai.
Back then, this coward, out of fear of competing for the throne with his brother Dai Weisi, had abandoned her and come to Suotuo City to live a life of pleasure.
He had left her to face the combined opposition of Dai Weisi and her sister Zhu Zhuqing alone.
But she didn't care about any of that.
What Zhu Zhuqing cared about was...
...that she had traveled thousands of miles, evaded countless assassination attempts...
...and had even been tricked into joining this Shrek Academy...
...all to finally find Dai Mubai.
Yet, it turned out this guy had actually become effeminate now.
Not a shred of masculinity could be seen in him.
At this moment, she really wanted to slap her past self.
Why did she come looking for this guy?
Oscar, wedged between the two, seemed to sense that the atmosphere wasn't quite right.
He quickly changed the subject and looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu. "Tang San, Xiao Wu, how are things on your end?"
"It's alright. At least so far, we haven't encountered any formidable opponents," Tang San replied with a touch of humble bragging.
Through these few days of soul duels...
Tang San had regained his confidence.
Xiao Wu also said with a smile, "I'm the same as Third Brother. I've won every match so far."
Ma Hongjun stood up and said, "Since the six of us have such good records, I suggest we all go to Yuelai Pavilion later to have some fun!"
This Yuelai Pavilion was the place Ma Hongjun frequently went to release his evil fire.
It just so happened that he hadn't been there for three days.
The evil fire within him was already starting to stir.
Little did he expect that as soon as he finished speaking, he would receive death glares from Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
Xiao Wu said, "Fatty, if you dare take my brother to a place like that, I'll kick the life out of you!"
Ma Hongjun waved his hands repeatedly. "I was just joking. We're all decent people; who would go to a place like that?"
After saying that...
...he quickly leaned in close to Dai Mubai and said, "Boss Dai, since they're not going, let's the two of us go."
Normally, Dai Mubai would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, in his effeminate state, he said, "Fatty, what's so fun about a place like that?"
Ma Hongjun was stunned. "Boss Dai, didn't you love going there the most? Why have you changed now?"
Just as the two were talking...
The Soul Dueling Arena's broadcast rang out.
[218th 1v1 Soul Duel: 'General Pan Feng' versus 'Evil Fire Phoenix'. Will the two contestants please head to Soul Dueling Arena No. 8 to participate in the match.]
"Yo-ho, it's my turn again. Watch how this Lord Fatty dominates the field next." Ma Hongjun stood up and spoke with great confidence.
Then, he quickly ran toward Soul Dueling Arena No. 8.
Hearing the name of Ma Hongjun's opponent, Dai Mubai pondered carefully. "General Pan Feng? What a domineering name. I like it."
On the other side...
After Golden Crown and Ye Lingling finished registering their information...
...they sat in the waiting area.
Hearing that his opponent was the Evil Fire Phoenix, Golden Crown was clearly dazed for a moment.
"Damn."
"I specifically came a week late, and I still managed to run into these guys."
