In Douluo Continent, what is a martial soul? It's like Luckin Coffee.

Chapter 283 Even someone looking for trouble wouldn't think of such a thing.

Before long, Bai Ran successfully obtained the ticket.

I took the holiday-bound Shenzi and Lei Yingdian to Xingluo Square to watch today's match.

"Manager, it's so lively here!"

Walking into Xingluo Square, I saw a scene of people packed together, with some holding up signs to support the college.

The little god was greatly shocked.

They also stated that such a massive crowd could not be replicated even if all the residents of Inazuma were gathered together.

"Yes, it is indeed quite lively."

"My child, hold on tight to me, don't get lost."

As Lei Yingdian spoke, he reached out and grabbed Shenzi's small hand.

"Ah Ying, are you worried about me?"

"You're so small, I'm afraid you'll get lost."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran, who was standing to the side, said: "As expected of your terrible movies, I could never say something like that, even if I were just looking for trouble."

Sure enough, when she heard Lei say that she was tiny, Shenzi was immediately unhappy.

Yae no Miko: What do you mean I'm small? I just need to grow. Once I'm fully grown, I'll definitely be bigger than you, A-Ying.

……

"Manager, did you buy a standing ticket?"

When they arrived at the designated spot, there wasn't even a place to sit, and Xiao Shenzi was slightly unhappy.

They all took a holiday to watch the game, but there wasn't even a place to rest.

How can you prevent people from getting angry?

"It wasn't that I bought a standing ticket; it was just that there were only standing tickets available."

Bai Ran spread his hands and began to explain to the Divine Child.

Because the Soul Fighting Tournament, held every five years, is so popular, the organizers didn't arrange any seats in order to allow more spectators to watch the matches live.

"Then why are those people allowed to sit and rest?"

Yae no Miko pointed to a resting place not far away.

“Those are the contestants participating in this competition, and they naturally have a designated rest area.”

Even if the organizers are obsessed with making money, they still have to make proper arrangements for the contestants.

If a player has an issue that causes problems in the competition, the resulting losses could be significant.

"A competition? Manager, I want to participate too."

Hearing the words of the "little child" Shenzi.

A spectator nearby immediately became displeased: "Kid, do you know how difficult it is to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament? It's a competition that only the top students from advanced Soul Master academies can participate in."

"Why are you, an adult, arguing with a child?"

Bai Ran glanced at the other person's attire. "Bright Academy?" It sounded like they were selling milk.

They're probably a weak academy team that got eliminated in the first stage.

The reason I'm still here might be because of the generous treatment offered by the organizers, which makes me not want to go back to the academy for the time being.

"What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran quickly moved aside with Shenzi and Lei Yingdian.

To be honest, Bai Ran was afraid that getting too close to a guy like that would affect her intelligence.

……

Next, before the match began, Bai Ran briefly explained the situation to Yae no Kami and Lei Dianying, who had never seen a Soul Master duel before.

"If that's the case, then Soul Master duels are pretty much the same as duels before the Emperor?"

This is a fighting style belonging to Soul Masters.

"It's still a bit different. In this kind of Soul Master duel, which is mainly a competition, friendship comes first and competition comes second."

The two sides in the fight aim to stop short of causing serious injury or death.

Although athletes occasionally get injured, it is extremely rare for an athlete to die.

Leaving aside the referees who might intervene at any moment.

The contestants who came to participate in the competition were almost all top talents from their respective academies.

It is well known that geniuses cherish their lives.

Moreover, unless there is a major grudge, they will generally choose to hold back.

Like in the original story, during the final match between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Academy. If Ma Xiaotao hadn't gone berserk and killed a student from Sun Moon Royal Academy, Ma Rulong wouldn't have taken out the Sword of Judgment to fight Ma Xiaotao to the death.

……

The first match of the day will begin soon.

The players from both sides enter the arena.

When the Shrek Academy contestants entered the arena, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous applause.

Most of the audience were chanting the word "Shrek".

Faced with such a commotion, perhaps finding it noisy, Yae no Miko quickly covered her ears with her hands.

Then he asked Bai Ran, "Manager, what's the background of Shrek Academy, and why is it so popular?"

Before Bai Ran could even explain...

A kind-hearted uncle next to her spoke up first: "Young lady, Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the entire continent, and the reigning champion of the Soul Fighting Tournament."

"Oh? Will Shrek Academy be the champion this year too?"

As soon as the little god said this, the uncle suddenly fell silent.

Even the most loyal supporters of Shrek Academy were not entirely satisfied with Shrek's performance in this year's Soul Fighting Tournament.

However, Shrek Academy's main players were injured, so they could only send some children who were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old to the field.

It's already quite an achievement that Diudiu made it to the third stage of the knockout rounds. How can they blame a group of kids?

The blame lies with the higher-ups at Shrek Academy.

Such an important Soul Fighting Tournament resulted in the main players getting injured on the eve of the competition, instead placing the heavy burden on a group of children.

It's disgusting.

"Uncle, why are you silent?"

The little god held out his hand and waved it in front of the uncle.

She clearly took her hands away from her ears, so why couldn't she hear the man's voice?
It's really quite baffling.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was even more at a loss for words, and could only laugh it off to cover up his embarrassment.

Uncle: Oh my child, how come your mouth is as sweet as honey?

"Alright, Divine Child, the match is about to begin. Focus on watching the match."

If the goddess continued, she would break the old man's defenses.

Bai Ran quickly scooped the little goddess into her arms and covered her mouth.

……

"Manager, do you have any drinks with you?"

For some reason, the divine child suddenly felt thirsty.

"What do you want to drink?"

Do you have milk?

Bai Ran could produce many drinks, but she couldn't produce a single glass of milk.

"If we don't have milk, would you like some coconut milk instead?"

"Yeah, that's okay."

A short while later, a cup of Luckin Coffee coconut latte appeared in Shenzi's hand.

Divine Child: Strange, why does this coconut milk taste different? Could it be that it's been sitting out for too long? Oh well, whatever, as long as it tastes good.

On the other side, in Shrek Academy's preparation area.

Huo Yuhao took out a cup of Luckin Coffee iced Americano from his storage ring.

This is the last cup. I'll go buy some more from Boss Xiaobai after the competition ends.

"Yuhao, are you sure this isn't a contraband?"

Before the match started, Huo Yuhao drank a strange beverage.

Although Wang Yan knew that Huo Yuhao had always been honest and upright, he was still a little worried.

Having finally entered the third stage, the testing and other procedures have become relatively more stringent.

What if the test results show something wrong? Wouldn't that ruin everything?

"Don't worry, Teacher Wang Yan."

Huo Yuhao said very seriously.
