Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

Lin Zhendong continued:

"With your current combat skills, combined with your flight ability, you are no less than any Soul King-level Soul Master."

Lin Zhendong's affirmation greatly boosted Yan's confidence, and he wanted to know what kind of training would follow.

"By the way, Teacher Lin, will you arrange other types of special training for us?"

Lin Zhendong nodded and replied:

"Now it's time to test the results of your special training. You will face even more brutal and realistic challenges."

"What kind of challenge will it be?" Yan asked curiously.

Lin Zhendong stroked his gray beard and smiled slightly.

"I also cannot predict what kind of opponents you will face, because your opponents come from all over the world, and they all have only one goal: to prove their strength through the Soul Fighting Competition."

Yan instantly understood what Lin Zhendong meant.

"Teacher Lin, do you mean you're taking us to the Soul Arena to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition?"

"Yes. Only in the Soul Arena can you unleash your full potential without any worries and show your true strength. It is also the best place for you to accumulate combat experience and hone your skills."

Yan was thrilled after hearing Lin Zhendong's explanation.

As a reborn individual, he was intimately familiar with the rules and brutality of the Soul Arena.

The Soul Fighting competition includes one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. Regardless of the type, it is full of unknowns and dangers, and is also more challenging.

"Teacher, should the three of us still go together?"

Lin Zhendong gently shook his head.

"No, the three of you together are too conspicuous. I will separate you. This will be a good opportunity for the three of you to compete against each other."

"Separately? You mean, different teachers will take the three of us to different arenas?"

"Yes."

Yan said excitedly:

"Teacher Lin, when will the new training begin?"

"Don't rush. The three of you are the future hope of the Spirit Hall, and we cannot afford to lose you. I will report to the Pope before making a decision."

Yan realized this was a golden opportunity.

“Teacher Lin, if possible, I would like to invite Elder Ju to accompany me. There are still many things I would like to ask him for advice.”

"Elder Ju?"

Upon hearing Yan's suggestion, Lin Zhendong frowned slightly.

In his memory, Yue Guan was an eccentric and unapproachable person.

Moreover, as Bibi Dong's confidant, Yue Guan is often busy carrying out various missions, so it would probably not be easy to persuade him to come out of seclusion.

"Inviting Elder Ju to come along... I'm afraid that won't work."

"Teacher Lin, don't worry. I will go to Elder Ju myself, and I believe he will agree."

Seeing Yan's confident demeanor, Lin Zhendong's doubts were somewhat dispelled.

He nodded, tacitly agreeing to Yan's suggestion.

"Since you're so confident, then go ahead and give it a try. However, I must remind you that your martial soul is fire-attribute, so in the Soul Arena, you should try to challenge those water-attribute soul masters whose attributes are countered by yours. Doing so will not only improve your combat experience but also help you enhance your fire-attribute abilities."

"Yes. Thank you for your suggestion, Teacher Lin."

Lin Zhendong then reminded him:

"The place with the most water-attribute soul masters on the continent is Tianshui City in the northeast of the Heaven Dou Empire. Right next to Tianshui City is the main city of Toks Province, which has a large soul arena called the Toks Great Soul Arena. You might encounter many powerful water-attribute soul masters there."

"Okay. Teacher, I've got it."

Yan was even more excited.

He knew that Sunset Forest was located east of Heaven Dou City, in the same direction as the Tox Great Soul Arena, so he could go there along the way.

After Lin Zhendong left, Yan did not return to the academy, but went straight to Yue Guan's residence.

Chapter 24 Finding an opportunity to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well

Over the past six months, Yan has developed an unwavering habit: every night before going to sleep, he would take out the book "Record of Rare Flowers and Herbs" and carefully flip through it page by page, as if exploring a mysterious and beautiful world.

During this period, he also frequently visited Yueguan's residence, each time with a thirst for knowledge about flowers and plants and a sense of awe for nature.

Realizing that Yan genuinely wanted to learn about flowers and plants, Yue Guan guided him without reservation, and their relationship grew stronger.

After passing through several streets, Yan arrived directly at Yue Guan's residence.

Yue Guan was very happy to see Yan.

"Yan, why are you here so early today?"

"Elder Ju, our first phase of special training ends today, so I've come to see you. Also, I have something very important that I need your help with."

Hearing this, Yue Guan smiled indulgently and said:

"We're already so familiar, why are you being so polite with me? Just say what you have to say."

"Elder Ju, then I'll be frank."

"Go ahead."

"Teacher Lin has arranged for us to undergo special training in the next phase, which involves us going to the Soul Arena to hone our skills, and we will be going separately. I would like to invite you to come with me."

"what?!"

Yue Guan frowned slightly, a look of surprise on her face.

"Lin Zhendong is quite the troublemaker, actually taking you to the Soul Arena for training. Does the Pope know about this?"

Yan shook his head.

"I'm not entirely sure either. However, Teacher Lin should be reporting to the Pope soon."

"Yes, going to the Soul Arena for training is indeed a good way to improve your strength. However, since the three of you are going separately, you will need at least three experts to protect you in secret."

Yan picked up the conversation and said:

"Yes. Teacher Lin suggested that I go to the Tox Great Soul Arena east of Tiandou City to train, because I will encounter many water-attribute soul qualities there, and fighting against them will help improve my fire-attribute abilities. However, I came to see you for an even more important reason."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

"I've done some research, and the Tox Grand Arena is not far from Sunset Forest. I'd like to take a detour to Sunset Forest to see if there are any of the exotic flowers and herbs I've read about in the book."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately became interested and smiled:

“I originally thought your research on those flowers and plants was just a passing interest, but I didn’t expect you to take it so seriously. You’ve been studying flowers and plants for half a year now, it’s time to go out and do some field research and broaden your horizons.”

Upon hearing this, Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked:

"Elder Ju, does that mean you agree to travel with me?"

Yue Guan nodded:

"I have no problem with it and I'm really looking forward to this trip. But whether it will actually happen depends on what arrangements the Pope makes. We'll see then."

"it is good."

Yan was filled with anticipation.

He knew very well that even if he knew the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and recognized those immortal herbs, it would be impossible for him to go there alone.

Because Dugu Bo was guarding that place.

Dugu Bo has reached the level of a Title Douluo. In addition to being skilled in using poison, his speed and mental strength are also terrifying.

Yan knew that with his current strength, if he were to trespass into Dugu Bo's secret garden and be discovered by Dugu Bo, even if he had the ability to fly, he would have no chance of escaping.

But if Yue Guan accompanies you, then it's a different story.

Yue Guan and Dugu Bo have been rivals for many years.

Although Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom was extremely poisonous, Yue Guan was superior in terms of attack methods and soul power.

Therefore, in their previous contest, Yue Guan held the advantage.

If Yue Guan is with us this time, we'll have a chance to drive Dugu Bo away.

Alternatively, while Yue Guan and Dugu Bo are engaged in battle, they could launch a surprise attack on Dugu Bo's stronghold.

Yan left after having dinner at Yueguan's residence.

As soon as I returned to my residence at the academy, I saw Xie Yue and Hu Liena, the brother and sister.

Xie Yue asked curiously:

"Yan-ge, where did you and Teacher Lin go? Why are you so late?"

"Teacher Lin went back long ago. I went to Elder Ju's residence."

Hearing this, the brother and sister were even more puzzled.
