Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Wang Teng quickly analyzed the woman's identity in his mind.

At this moment, the woman spoke softly, and because of her height, she bent slightly, standing quite close to the two of them.

Despite the situation, Wang Teng remained calm and simply nodded slightly.

Wang Sheng blushed instantly, his eyes darted around, and he opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to say.

"We're here to register for the Soul Fighting competition. Please lead the way, young lady."

Seeing this, Wang Teng had no choice but to step forward half a step and speak clearly.

"Alright, please follow me."

The woman smiled sweetly, turned around and led the way, her waist swaying gently as she walked ahead.

Wang Teng gently nudged Wang Sheng, who was still in a daze, and whispered, "Snap out of it, bro, stop staring at his butt."

After saying that, Wang Teng took the lead and followed.

"I...I didn't..."

Wang Sheng blushed even more and hurriedly followed his younger brother.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the noise and commotion immediately intensified several times over.

The atmosphere was a mix of shouts from the audience, muffled thuds from the clash of soul skills, and the host's passionate commentary, creating a thrilling and exciting experience.

The huge circular audience seats were packed with people, and the colorful soul-guided lights illuminated the central battle arena brightly.

The air was filled with a unique smell, a mixture of sweat, dust, and excitement.

The woman led them to a relatively quiet reception area.

The place is bustling with people, mostly Soul Masters registering or receiving rewards.

"Gentlemen, are you planning to participate in a one-on-one Soul Battle, or a two-on-two Soul Battle?"

The woman stood by the counter and skillfully explained, "The registration process and fees vary slightly depending on the type of competition."

"If you want to team up, you need to complete individual registration first, and then team registration."

"We're participating in a two-on-two spirit battle competition."

Wang Teng answered very decisively.

"understood."

The woman nodded and explained in a steady voice: "The process is as follows: First, both of you need to register as Iron Soul level Soul Masters. The registration fee for each person is ten Gold Soul Coins."

"After successful registration, you two will receive an Iron Soul Badge."

"After that, the two of you can form a two-person team. The team registration fee is also ten gold soul coins."

"Once you complete these steps, the staff will arrange a competition of the appropriate level for you."

After listening, Wang Sheng couldn't help but take a breath, leaned close to Wang Teng's ear, and said in a very low voice, "Little brother, this hasn't even started yet. Ten coins per person, plus ten coins for the team, that's thirty gold soul coins!"

"What if... what if we lose? Wouldn't all this money be wasted?"

At this moment, Wang Teng did not hesitate at all. He took out his money bag from his pocket, counted out thirty glittering coins, and placed them steadily on the counter.

"We both registered and formed a team."

A glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and her smile became even brighter.

"Okay, sir."

She deftly put away the gold soul coins, took out two forms and two pens from under the counter, and said, "Please fill out this basic information form first. Later, someone will take you to test your soul power level to verify your eligibility to participate in the competition."

Wang Teng took the form and quickly glanced at the information that needed to be filled in: name, age, martial spirit, spirit power level (estimated), spirit ring configuration, etc.

He picked up his pen and began to write, his handwriting neat and tidy.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and start filling out the form as well.

"By the way, your teams need a name."

The woman waited until they finished filling out the forms, then put them away and gave them a reminder.

After a moment's thought, Wang Teng decided directly, "Let's call it the 'Tiger and Horse' combination."

The name is simple, yet it resonates.

"Okay, the 'Tiger and Horse' combination."

The woman repeated herself and made the annotations on the form.

"Please come with me to the testing room over there. After you complete the soul power verification, the badges and preliminary competition schedule will be given to you soon."

The testing process was quick; it simply involved injecting soul power into a specific soul tool to display its approximate level.

Wang Teng and Wang Sheng both passed the test successfully and received their own weighty Iron Fighting Soul Badges.

The badge is made of iron, with the exclusive emblem of the Soto City Grand Arena—a crossed spirit hammer and a spirit ring pattern—engraved on the front, and the word "Iron" in small letters below the emblem; the back has a unique serial number.

They were then led to a spacious waiting room.

At this moment, many Soul Masters were already waiting in the waiting room.

Some of these Soul Masters sat alone, closing their eyes to rest, while others gathered in twos and threes to talk in hushed tones, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Several huge soul-guided screens were hanging on the wall, displaying information about the upcoming matches and the names and numbers of the opposing teams.

The two brothers found a corner spot and sat down.

Wang Sheng stroked the cold iron badge in his hand and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Little brother, what kind of person do you think our opponent in the first match will be?"

Wang Teng's gaze swept over the various Soul Masters in the waiting room, including teenagers who looked to be around the same age as them, as well as middle-aged people with weathered faces.

"No matter what kind of person your opponent is."

Wang Teng withdrew his gaze and said in a calm but firm tone, "Now that we're on this stage, all we can think about is how to win."

"By the way, big brother, when you fight later, don't forget the routines we practiced together during training."

Looking at his younger brother's composed profile, Wang Sheng's unease was gradually replaced by a rising fighting spirit.

He nodded vigorously, clutching the badge tightly in his hand.

The waiting room was filled with a play of light and shadow, and the sounds of chatter could be faintly heard through the heavy doors.

Wang Teng and Wang Sheng were sitting on a bench in the corner, trying to calm their rapid breathing, when suddenly!

"For the next match, please welcome the 'Ox and Horse' duo and the 'Tiger and Horse' duo to the stage!"

The clear and loud broadcast echoed through every corner via the soul-guided amplification device, reaching the brothers' ears without any obstruction.

"The 'Tiger and Horse' duo...are they calling us?"

Wang Sheng jolted awake and looked up at his younger brother, Wang Teng.

At this moment, Wang Teng had already stood up.

Wang Teng's eyes held a calm expression.

"Walk."

Then, without further delay, the two quickly walked out of the waiting room under the guidance of the staff.

The heavy doors closed behind us, isolating the relatively quiet backstage space.

The deafening sound surged in like a tidal wave, almost engulfing people.

Wang Teng and his companion stepped into a slightly dimly lit contestant passage, at the far end of which lay a wide arena illuminated by countless lights.

On both sides of the aisle were towering stands, now completely full, with countless eyes fixed on them as they appeared, filled with scrutiny, curiosity, or simply the excitement of watching a spectacle.

"Oh! A newbie?"

"You look so young, are your hair all grown in yet?"

"Great! I bet on 'Bull and Horse' to win, this is a sure thing! The other side has two kids..."

"Hey, don't underestimate him. Look at his steady gait, he might have some skills!"

A cacophony of voices arose from all directions, but most of them were pessimistic about their chances.

Wang Sheng subconsciously straightened his back, his palms sweating slightly.

Wang Teng kept his eyes straight ahead and walked forward steadily, only slightly adjusting his breathing to shut out the noise from his mind.

Stepping onto the stairs leading to the arena, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before me.

The oval-shaped battle arena is paved with hard granite, polished slightly rough to prevent slipping, and surrounded by protective soul guide light screens that emit a soft glow.

On the other side of the ring, two other fighters were already in position.

In the center of the ring stood a middle-aged referee in a dark red uniform.

The referee's voice was amplified by the soul-guided amplifier clipped to his collar.

"Ladies and gentlemen! What follows is an Iron Soul level 2 vs 2 team battle!"

"On one side, we have a new face in the Soto Grand Arena: the 'Tiger and Horse' duo!"

"The elder brother, Wang Sheng, is an eleventh-level Battle Soul Master; the younger brother, Wang Teng, is a twelfth-level Battle Soul Master!"

Let's welcome the newcomers!

Sparse but not indifferent applause rang out around them.

However, most of the time they were observing with amusement.

At that moment, Wang Teng paid no attention to the audience around him.

Because his gaze had already been fixed on the other side.

Opposite the ring were two extremely burly men.

They all had shiny bald heads, square faces, and were probably close to two meters tall.

The two men opposite him had arms thicker than Wang Teng's thighs, and they stood there like two iron towers.

They wore sleeveless coarse cloth vests, revealing their bronze, muscular arms.
