A Bite of Douluo Continent

Never mind, I was just overthinking it.

In the Great Soul Arena, a handsome appearance did not bring Mo Ran any advantage; here, strength and the right to speak were always equal.

When Mo Ran first joined the Undying Team, everyone was only at the second level. His support skills were also quite strong, and he helped his teammates win many matches.

But now…

As everyone's strength increased, their own martial spirits became increasingly weak, and now even the audience has noticed some clues.

Once the team reaches the Gold Soul level, it will probably be time for me to leave. After all, any support-type Soul Master would likely provide much better support than I can.

So, after this battle, what should I do?

"The match begins!"

The host's voice brought Mo Ran back to his senses. He tried to refocus his attention on the battle, and halos of different colors spread outward from his body, enveloping his teammates.

Even in the final battle, as a support-type Soul Master, you must do your best to help your teammates!

"Huh...huh..."

With a heavy panting sound, the battle on the spacious fighting platform in the center of the fighting arena was nearing its end.

Both sides had many players who were seriously injured and eliminated, but fortunately no one was in life-threatening danger.

Only two members of the Raptors team remained, one of whom was a support-type Soul Master. At this moment, she was constantly using her Soul Skills to heal the injuries of the Raptors team's only remaining captain and restore his Soul Power.

On the side of the Undying Team, there are three members who have not been eliminated yet, and Mo Ran is one of them.

Both sides clearly understand the importance of support-type Soul Masters, so even if it means eliminating themselves, the other members will do their best to protect the support-type Soul Masters on the field.

Although they lack direct combat power, support-type Soul Masters play an important role in team battles as logistical support, and their contribution is no less than that of other Soul Masters.

At this moment, the first, second, and third spirit rings behind Mo Ran were flashing continuously. The light red, pure white, and light green halos slowly receded, enveloping the two remaining members of the Undying Team.

First Soul Skill: Stamina Recovery Aura.

Second Soul Skill: Soul Power Recovery Aura.

Third Soul Skill: Life Blessing Aura.

The three soul skills restore the teammates' stamina, soul power, and life force respectively. Mo Ran's soul skills are the best in terms of both configuration and age.

However, with his assistance, the healing speed of his two teammates' wounds was visibly slower than that of the opposing team.

“We can’t delay any longer.” Zhao Panqing shook his head, his face grave. “We need to finish this quickly. Their captain is about as strong as me. We have a good chance of winning two against one. If we delay, things might change.”

This wasn't said to Mo Ran, but to another member of the Undying Team named Li Qingfeng.

"Hmm." Li Qingfeng's expression was not good. He glanced at Mo Ran with a complicated look, then grabbed his meteor hammer and charged towards the captain of the opposing Fierce Dragons team.

"Kill!" Zhao Panqing shouted, raising his head and letting out a bull-like roar, as he charged towards the opposite side in coordination with Li Qingfeng.

Mo Ran looked guilty, but her reaction was quick. The first and second spirit rings behind her dimmed temporarily, while the third and fourth spirit rings lit up at the same time.

Fourth Soul Skill: Heroic Protection Aura.

To reduce the chances of teammates being harmed by others.

It is also a highly effective soul skill, and it does not overlap with any other soul skills.

Bright yellow and light green halos followed closely behind the two teammates' charge, with Mo Ran quickly keeping up to ensure that the two teammates were always enveloped in her aura.

The battle did not last long. The captain of the Raptor team fought against two opponents of similar strength and skill. He could only hold out for a short while before he could no longer resist and signaled to surrender.

With only one support-type Soul Master remaining, the Raptors team was completely rendered powerless, and victory ultimately belonged to the Undying team.

When the host announced the results and congratulated the Undying Team on officially becoming the Golden Soul Team, cheers and applause erupted from the audience.

"It's over!" Zhao Panqing's face was full of excitement; they had already reached the Gold Battle Soul level.

The other team members were the same, their faces beaming with barely concealed joy.

"Yeah, it's over." With her head down, concealing the disappointment of feeling out of place with her teammates, Mo Ran murmured to herself in a barely audible voice.

After six years of working with my partners, it's finally coming to an end.

As the audience left in an orderly fashion, the Undying Team, who had just completed their Gold Soul advancement, returned to their private dressing room.

"Captain, your last Mad Bull Explosion was so cool." The tall, thin male team member named Meng Ke chuckled, then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "It's just that some people, even though they are both support-type Soul Masters, their healing speed is not even half as fast as the other side, which drags the captain down."

Mo Ran's expression darkened slightly, but she remained silent.

He and Meng Ke had never gotten along, especially after he broke through to the fourth ring. His support ability was much lower than that of other support-type soul masters of the same level, and Meng Ke had ridiculed him a lot.

Normally, he would have retorted sharply; he was not someone to be trifled with.

But today might be his last day in the team, and he still wants to leave behind some beautiful memories.

Mo Ran held back, but Zhao Panqing's expression showed more displeasure. "Alright, it's not easy for Xiao Mo either. His martial spirit is very strong, but it's not suitable for seven against seven. If there are dozens or hundreds of people, Xiao Mo's martial spirit can play a greater role."

“But the maximum number of Soul Fighters is only seven.” Meng Ke didn’t notice Zhao Panqing’s dissatisfaction. Seeing that this guy who was dragging his feet was finally going to get rid of him, he was overjoyed. “Dozens or hundreds of people? That’s more like a war.”

"I said, stop talking!" Zhao Panqing shouted in a low voice. Only then did Meng Ke realize that the captain was angry, and he stopped talking somewhat awkwardly.

Zhao Panqing stood up, patted Mo Ran on the shoulder, and smiled. "Little Mo, your brother Zhao has made quite a bit of money. Don't be shy with me tonight. This meal is both a celebration and a farewell."

"Brother Zhao..." Mo Ran nodded emphatically, her face showing some emotion. "Okay!"

He had originally planned to slip away early, and he didn't intend to attend the celebration banquet.

But Zhao Panqing's words made him give up the idea.

This is the last time, I'll go.

Zhao Panqing has always treated me very well.

His forthright personality was also a major reason why he initially joined the Undying Team.

This older brother, who was a few years older than me, had always taken good care of me.

When he had a long private talk with me a while ago, he was also filled with deep guilt.

Mo Ran understood Zhao Panqing's helplessness, so she offered to leave immediately after becoming a Gold Soul, not wanting to put him in a difficult position.

Once the team reaches the Gold Soul level, staying here any longer will only hold everyone back.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Mo Ran gave a wry smile. How could her martial soul be so bizarre?

"Xiao Mo, don't be discouraged." Zhao Panqing looked earnestly at the boy in front of him. When they first met, he was only eleven or twelve years old, but now he was already seventeen.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I watched him grow up.

“I have a distant relative who works in the military of the Heavenly Dou Empire. If you want to pursue a career in the military in the future, I can ask him for you,” Zhao Panqing said earnestly. “Meng Ke has never been a very pleasant person, but he just said something that hit the nail on the head.”

"Your martial spirit can affect everyone within its aura without any limit on the number of people. Moreover, unlike normal support-type martial spirits which increase the percentage of buffs after their cultivation level increases, your martial spirit only increases the maximum range of the aura. Therefore, the more people there are and the larger the range, the greater your value will be. The military is probably the most suitable place for you among all the places I can think of."

Mo Ran shook her head. "Captain, I'll think about it some more."

He didn't actually want to join the army. His father died in the war when he was a child, which made him have a great aversion to and resistance to war.

“Okay.” Zhao Panqing nodded. “This is a decision that definitely needs more consideration.”

"Let's not talk about that anymore. We should probably head over to the Cold Food Festival to queue up." Zhao Panqing smiled. "I heard there were almost a thousand people queuing up for the Cold Food Festival at noon today. If we go now, we can get some food sooner, otherwise we might not be able to get any even if we want to."

"it is good!"

The mention of food immediately piqued everyone's interest, and they all stood up and headed out of the Great Soul Arena.

"I didn't expect that even though we came so early, we still couldn't get into the first batch." Zhao Panqing looked at the line in front of him and quickly smiled. "But we should be able to get in during the second batch."

"Captain, I heard that Hanshi is going to offer breakfast tomorrow morning!" Tan Ling, the only female member of the Undying Team, said with a smile. "It seems to be the same thing as breakfast. Captain, shall we come and try it tomorrow?"

"I'm out of money! I'm out of money!" Zhao Panqing pretended to be in a panic, which made the team members burst into laughter.

Mo Ran laughed along with her; the captain was always very humorous.

His gaze returned to the notice board, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Xiao Mo, if you're not leaving Shrek City tomorrow, shall we go and try their breakfast?" Seeing Mo Ran staring at the notice board, Zhao Panqing thought for a moment and quickly spoke up.

"Captain, I wasn't looking at that." Mo Ran smiled and shook his head. He had noticed the recruitment information on the notice board when he passed by Hanshi earlier, and he just wanted to see some of the requirements.

Or... should I become a waiter at Hanshi Restaurant?

Although it doesn't seem to have much to do with my abilities, it sounds like a very easy job.

...

"Boss, boss."

Fuya strode into the kitchen. "A customer said they wanted to stay and work as a waitress. They'd like to know more about the details."

"Oh?" Qi Han stopped working. "Who is it?"

"That brown-haired young man sitting at that table over there."

Following Fuya's guidance, Qi Han's gaze quickly fell on the young man.

Great, it's a boy.

This made Qi Han, who had been hoping to change the situation of the store being dominated by women, breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tell him to come back after closing time, and I'll talk to him in person then."

"Ok!"

In the dining area, as Mo Ran asked Fu Ya about the waiter, the members of the Undying Team looked somewhat surprised.

"Xiao Mo, what are you doing..." After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhao Panqing quickly recovered and looked at Mo Ran with some complicated feelings. "Why don't you reconsider?"

With Mo Ran's abilities, he would definitely be given an important position in the military.

After all, what the army lacks most are various support-type and food-type soul masters, and Mo Ran's abilities are very suitable for large-scale battles in the army. It should be no problem for him to accumulate military merits and be promoted in a short period of time.
