Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something to say."

Just as everyone was playing enthusiastically, Dean Flander's voice suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire playground.

Wang Teng quickly retrieved the spinning top and stopped fighting with Xiao Wu.

The others immediately stopped what they were doing and looked toward the source of the sound.

Flander stood at the edge of the playground, waving at them and calling out, "Come and gather around!"

Wang Teng and the others quickly ran to Flander's side.

"okay."

Flander smiled and looked at the kids in front of him, praising them, "You've been at Shrek Academy for a month now. I've seen your training and battles over the past month, and I'm quite satisfied."

"Thank you, Dean!"

Hearing Flander, the Soul Saint, praise them so highly, Wang Teng, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Dai Mubai all beamed with joy.

"Good good."

Flander adjusted his glasses and continued, "Seeing how hard you've been training lately, I'm planning to take you out for a stroll tonight to help you relax."

"Relax?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and as if he had just thought of something, he winked at Flander and said, "Dean, you wouldn't be thinking of taking us to a place like that, would you?"

"boom!"

Without saying a word, Flander flicked Ma Hongjun on the forehead.

The fat man immediately covered his head and begged for mercy: "Ouch! No, no, no, Dean!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"

Flanders glared at him and explained, "Tonight, I plan to take you to the Grand Arena in Soto City to see what it's like."

"Yay! Finally, I can go out and play!"

"Great! I love fighting!"

"Awesome! Let's have a good fight tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the group became excited, rubbing their hands together as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Afterwards, everyone finished their workout and headed to the cafeteria.

By the time we finished dinner, it was completely dark.

Led by Flander, the group marched in a grand procession toward the Great Arena of Soto City.

Flander walked at the front, turning back to explain the rules of the Soto Arena to the young man behind him as he went.

Although Dai Mubai, Wang Teng, and the others had already been active in the Soto Grand Arena.

However, this was the first time Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong had come here.

Therefore, Flander explained in great detail, covering almost everything from the classification of fighting spirit levels to the calculation method of points, and various precautions.

"...The so-called fighting spirit is basically like this."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Wang Teng and Mu Bai later. Those guys spent a lot of time in there a few years ago."

After Flanders finished speaking, his gaze swept over the crowd.

Tang San thought for a moment and then asked, "Dean, what are your plans for our Soul Battle tonight?"

"Should we have an individual match, a duo match, or a seven-on-seven match?"

"Seven against seven?"

Flander waved his hand and said, "You've only known each other for a short time, and you haven't even practiced your teamwork yet. What are you doing playing seven-on-seven?"

"Let's start with singles and doubles matches today, get familiar with the venue, and show off your skills."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing and whispered, "Zhuqing, how about we sign up for a doubles match?"

"This is a good opportunity to practice and build rapport, which will be useful for future teamwork."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't even glance at Da Mutou, and coldly replied, "I'm going to fight one-on-one to hone my agility-based combat skills."

"you--"

Dai Mubai frowned, his face immediately showing signs of embarrassment.

Flander quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, Mu Bai, this isn't urgent. You two can practice your teamwork; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't let this cause any unpleasantness."

"If Zhuqing wants to fight in a singles match, let her fight. You can also sign up for a singles match yourself."

"call--"

Flander's words carried considerable weight, and Dai Mubai took a few deep breaths after hearing them.

Then, stay away from Zhu Zhuqing.

On the other side, Tang San turned to Xiao Wu and asked, "Xiao Wu, shall we sign up for a doubles battle? It'll be a good opportunity to test our teamwork."

Xiao Wu tossed her long braid, smiled, nodded, and agreed, "Okay, I have no problem with that."

Wang Teng turned to Ning Rongrong beside him and said, "Rongrong, shall we go together?"

"I also want to experience the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. I haven't tried it before."

Ning Rongrong raised her chin, a hint of smugness in her eyes, and said, "Of course, no problem!"

"Hmph, I'll show you the strength of the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in a moment. I guarantee you'll be quite surprised."

Oscar glanced at Ma Hongjun, who was left, and quickly grabbed his sleeve, asking, "Fatty, it's just the two of us left, you absolutely have to carry me!"

"My support-type character isn't good at one-on-one combat."

Ma Hongjun puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry! Tonight is the night our Flaming Sausage Duo makes its comeback. Let's show them what we're made of!"

After assigning tasks, Flander waved his hand and shouted, "Alright, then stop dawdling and speed up the fight. Get in and register as soon as possible."

Before long, the group arrived at the Soto Arena.

The enormous building was brightly lit, and Soul Masters came and went in an endless stream. The light of various Soul Rings would occasionally flash, making it a lively and bustling place.

Wang Teng and his group entered the hall with ease and began registering under the guidance of the waiters.

When it was Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong's turn, the waitress behind the registration desk politely asked, "What is your couple's name?"

Wang Teng turned to look at Ning Rongrong and asked with a smile, "What do you think of this handsome man and beautiful woman combination?"

Ning Rongrong blushed slightly, gently punched him, and said shyly, "Oh dear, you're so shameless! Who gives themselves a name like that!"

"I feel so embarrassed."

"There are other people waiting, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The waiter smiled and reminded him, his eyes carrying a hint of good-natured teasing.

"Sorry, let's just call it the 'Handsome Man and Beautiful Woman Combination' then, thank you."

Ning Rongrong quickly turned around and said to the waiter.

The waiter quickly filled out the forms and handed them two receipts.

Wang Teng took it and glanced at it, then turned to Oscar next to him and said, "Oscar, we're assigned to venue number three, let's go there first."

Chapter 150 Iron-War Duo

"Go ahead, go ahead, there are dozens of venues here. Even though we've all signed up for doubles, we might not run into each other."

"Play well, don't get eliminated in the first round."

Oscar waved his hand and said.

Ma Hongjun joined in the teasing, saying, "Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. It's annoying to see you all in pairs. Stop showing off here and think about how single people feel, okay?"

Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong exchanged a smile, neither arguing nor contradicting each other, and walked towards venue number three with their vouchers in hand.

After passing through several corridors, they were led by a waiter to the lounge for the two-player contestants.

The waiter pointed to the soul guidance screen on the wall and explained, "You two can rest and wait here. The screen will display the names of the groups that will be performing soon, and the announcements will also be broadcast around here. When your name is called, you can enter through the passage over there."

"I wish you both good luck."

"understood."

Ning Rongrong casually agreed and pulled Wang Teng to a seat against the wall.

By this time, quite a few people were already waiting in the lounge.

Some were talking in hushed tones, while others were resting with their eyes closed.

The atmosphere in the lounge was quiet yet tense.

Ning Rongrong looked around and whispered to Wang Teng, "What kind of opponent do you think we'll face in the first match? Will they be very strong?"

"Who cares what kind of opponent it is? With you here to buff me, how could I possibly lose?"

Wang Teng smiled and squeezed Ning Rongrong's soft hand, saying, "Besides, our team is all new, and the Great Soul Arena shouldn't arrange very strong opponents for us right away, so just take it easy."

Ning Rongrong snorted, but couldn't help but smile and said, "That's true, but you'd better protect me. I'm a support-type Soul Master, and I'm very fragile."

"Don't worry, with me here, no one can touch a hair on your head."

Wang Teng spoke earnestly, with a smile in his eyes.

As the two were chatting, a gentle female voice suddenly came over the loudspeaker: "Please prepare for the two-person Soul Battle team to begin. The next match is..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng and Ning Rongrong immediately looked up at the soul guide screen, where the list of upcoming team members was scrolling.

Wang Teng glanced at the list and, not yet seeing the words "handsome man and beautiful woman combination," relaxed and leaned back in his chair.

"I wonder which arena Xiaowu and the others were assigned to, and what about Zhuqing and Fatty? Do you think they can win?"

Ning Rongrong said casually.

"I don't know which venue they're in, but I think Tang San and Xiao Wu's combination should be able to win big," Wang Teng commented.

"That's true, Tang San is indeed quite powerful, but Xiao Wu is no less so."

Ning Rongrong nodded, then remembered something and asked, "By the way, you said that Oscar and Fatty's Flaming Sausage combo, they won't be knocked out in the first round, will they? That name doesn't sound very reliable."
