Douluo Continent: I am a biologist, and I have awakened a weapon spirit?

"Where is this place?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"This is the Soul Arena." After saying that, Dai Mubai explained the general situation of the Soul Arena to everyone.

If there were any omissions, Flander would fill them in.

After their explanation, everyone else understood what the Soul Arena was like.

"Practical combat is a necessary training program for Soul Masters, and all your future practical combat courses will be held here," Flander said.

At this moment, Gu Yueling asked:

"Dean, you just said there would be a prize for winning here?"

"Yes."

Gu Yueling looked up at the Soul Arena, a carefree smile appearing on her lips.

Chapter 118 Rules are rules, they weren't made today.

At this moment, Gu Yueling was penniless, practically penniless.

Not only that, she also owes two debts.

Zhu Zhuqing's debt was alright; it was just that she helped buy some daily necessities, and it didn't cost much.

The key issue is the money she owes Ning Rongrong; a hundred gold coins sounds like a lot, which makes Gu Yueling somewhat anxious.

Because she didn't know how to make money.

But now Gu Yueling knows that as long as you win a match in the Soul Arena, you will receive ten gold soul coins.

The more you win, the more you earn. If you can win ten rounds, you can pay back the money you owe Ning Rongrong.

One more win and I could pay off all my debts, and even have some left over.

Then she'll be able to eat and drink whatever she wants.

Seeing the smile on Gu Yueling's face, Flander didn't say anything and walked to the side.

"Dean, the entrance to the Soul Arena is this way," Ma Hongjun reminded him, somewhat puzzled.

“Just follow me,” Flander said without turning his head.

The group followed with some doubt, and soon, led by Flander, they arrived at a deserted alley.

"Dean, what are we doing here?" Dai Mubai asked.

"I'll get you some things to conceal your identities." Flander took out several masks from his storage soul tool and explained:

"The master reminded me that your level of cultivation at your age is likely to attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. So he asked me to prepare this and also asked each of you to give yourselves a nickname."

"Give me a nickname?" Dai Mubai reached out and picked up a mask. He found that the mask was silver-white and could cover most of the face, only revealing the eyes, mouth and nose. Wearing it would not be a problem.

As Chen Feng took a mask, he said:

“Brother Dai, your code name will be Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Oscar will be Food God Specialist, and Ma Hongjun will be Evil... or Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes.”

He originally wanted Ma Hongjun to use the code name Evil Fire Phoenix, but then he suddenly remembered that Ma Hongjun was no longer troubled by the evil fire, so he changed the little fat boy's code name.

Dai Mubai and the other two were very satisfied with the code name given by Chen Feng, and the others also became interested.

“Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng, what about me?” Ning Rongrong asked.

"How about you call yourself Seven Treasure Glazed Tile? Zhu Qing will be called Netherworld Cat, and Xiang Xiang will be called Sharp-tailed Swift. Just use your martial soul as your code name, okay?"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both agreed, but Bai Chenxiang seemed hesitant to speak.

Chen Feng noticed this and said:

"I'm just making a suggestion. If you have a preferred codename, Xiangxiang, that's fine too."

“I want to be called Yu Feng Fei Yan,” Bai Chenxiang said earnestly.

“Yufeng…” Chen Feng’s eyelids twitched. “This codename is pretty good, it suits you well.”

"Then what should I and Xiao San be called?" Xiao Wu asked, pointing to her chin.

"How about the Moon Goddess?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"Goddess? Isn't this too ostentatious?" Xiao Wu's tone was a little hesitant.

"Then let's go with the Taiyin Jade Rabbit. As for the third one... what do you think of the Immortal Divine Tree?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San nodded. "This one will do."

He felt that the code name suited him quite well, and as long as he continued along the path of life, he should be able to look forward to immortality.

"So, Xiao Feng, what's your code name?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"As for myself, I'll call myself the Sword Saint of Limitless." Chen Feng said the code name he had already thought of.

"This codename is not much different from the Moon Goddess from before; both are quite flamboyant," Dai Mubai couldn't help but say.

"Who cares? It's fine to have a flashy codename," Chen Feng said.

“Exactly, I think the code name Zhang Yang is better,” Gu Yueling agreed.

Chen Feng looked at her and suggested:

What do you think of the codename "Golden Lion King"?

"Hmm..." Gu Yueling hesitated, "Is there anything better?"

"It's gone."

"Then let's go with this one." Gu Yueling wasn't one to overthink things, and immediately settled on this code name.

After choosing their code names, everyone put on masks.

Chen Feng looked at the others wearing masks with a strange expression, because he felt that wearing these masks made him look a bit like the protagonists of short videos he had seen in his previous life.

If he was Chen Feng before wearing it, then he became Mr. Jiu Yi Chen after wearing it.

With this strange thought swirling in his mind, Chen Feng and the others entered the Soul Arena.

Upon entering the Great Soul Arena, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge stone tablet.

The stone tablet was covered with densely packed names. Flander said these names were those of the dead in the Soul Battle. This made everyone's expressions much more serious.

Flander first had everyone register. The registration process was not complicated; all they needed to do was fill out an information form, have their soul power tested, and then pay ten gold soul coins.

Ning Rongrong paid Gu Yueling's registration fee on her behalf. Ning Rongrong was really strict and did not give Chen Feng and Gu Yueling any chance to contact each other.

Dai Mubai then said:

"The battles here are mainly divided into three types: one-on-one, two-on-two, and team battles. The number of people in a team battle is determined by both sides, ranging from seven to ten. Each person can only participate in each of these three types once a day."

"You can only participate in each of the three methods once? What kind of ridiculous rule is this?" Gu Yueling frowned.

With such a rule limiting the number of sessions, how can she make money?

“Rules are rules, and they weren’t set today. Also, the two-on-two opponents are determined by the highest level of the two players, so it’s best to team up with Soul Masters of the same level,” Dai Mubai said with a shrug.

“Huh? Little… Shenmu, we’re at the same cultivation level, so we can team up for two against two,” Xiao Wu said to Tang San.

Tang San nodded. "Okay."

Gu Yueling was annoyed by the rule limiting the number of matches. She looked at the others and said:

Anyone want to play 2v2 with me?

Ning Rongrong had a bad feeling. Sure enough, Gu Yueling's gaze swept over the others and then landed on Chen Feng.

Of the ten people present, five were at the Soul Venerable realm: Tang San, Xiao Wu, Chen Feng, Oscar, and Gu Yueling.

Dai Mubai is already a Soul Master, so he can only fight in one-on-one battles and team battles.

Of the five Soul Masters, Tang San and Xiao Wu have already decided to team up. If Gu Yueling wants to team up, she can only choose between Chen Feng and Oscar.

Ning Rongrong knew without even thinking that Gu Yueling would definitely choose Chen Feng.

She wanted to stop Chen Feng and Gu Yueling from fighting two against two, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

If she were already a Soul Master, she could have claimed this spot first, but unfortunately she isn't.

Left with no other option, Ning Rongrong gave Oscar a meaningful look.

Quickly reserve this spot for me; I can't let this vixen succeed.

However, Oscar looked up at the ceiling as if flowers were growing on it, which made Ning Rongrong grit her teeth in anger.

As Ning Rongrong expected, Gu Yueling extended a direct invitation to Chen Feng:

"How about we play 2v2 together?"

"Uh..." Chen Feng glanced at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had already left to register, then looked at Oscar, who was staring at the ceiling, and shook his head, saying:

"The God of Food is a support-type Soul Master, so he can't fight one-on-one. If the two of us team up, he won't be able to participate."

“Tsk…” Gu Yueling frowned.

"Do you want to make money?" Chen Feng asked.

“Yes, it’s ten gold coins a round. I have debts to pay off.” Gu Yueling nodded.

Ning Rongrong really wanted to say that you don't need to pay back the money, just stay away from Chen Feng, but she couldn't bring herself to say it in front of everyone.

Chen Feng smiled and said:

"Actually, if you want to pay back the money, you can go to the Spirit Hall to collect the subsidy issued by the Empire. A Soul Master can receive one hundred gold coins per month, which is enough to pay back the money. You didn't forget to collect your subsidy this month, did you?"

"Ah? Ah! Right, right, I forgot about the subsidy, hehehe..." Gu Yueling looked like she suddenly realized.

She now understood why the dean had that indescribable expression on his face when she couldn't afford the tuition fees.

So human soul masters can get subsidies?

After learning that she would receive a subsidy of 100 gold coins per month, Gu Yueling stopped insisting on teaming up with Chen Feng for a two-on-two match and went directly to the singles arena to wait.

At this moment, Flander's gaze swept over the remaining few people, and he spoke:

"Of the remaining people, Phoenix and Flying Swallow are in one group, and Spirit Cat and Glaze are in another. Go sign up. Also, it's a bit early for you guys to participate in team battles, so don't participate for now."

Bai Chenxiang glanced at Ma Hongjun and nodded indifferently.

Oscar came over to Chen Feng and nudged him, saying:

"I gave you a chance, but you wasted it."

"What opportunity did you give, Food God Specialist?" Ning Rongrong's cold voice rang out behind Oscar.

"It's nothing, I just misspoke. Sword Saint, I'll wait for you at the registration desk. Bye-bye." Seeing that things were going badly, Oscar quickly slipped away.

Ning Rongrong's cheeks puffed up with anger, and she stared at Oscar's back with a death stare, as if she wanted to poke two holes in him with her eyes.

"Alright, I didn't accept the invitation." Chen Feng pinched Ning Rongrong's cheek to let the little pufferfish breathe. He found Ning Rongrong's jealous look quite amusing.

"It's a good thing you didn't agree. If you had dared to agree, I wouldn't have let you off the hook." Ning Rongrong grabbed Chen Feng's hand, pulling her face away from his clutches.

"It's time to register." Zhu Zhuqing stepped between the two, separating Chen Feng and Ning Rongrong while also pulling Ning Rongrong away.

Seeing Ning Rongrong looking back every few steps, Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, then walked towards the registration area.

Tang San and Xiao Wu quickly registered. Fortunately, the staff did not get their group name wrong, so the newly formed group was the Sanwu group instead of the Sanwu group from the original work.

Chen Feng and Oscar were a temporary team, so their name was rather casual. They simply used a somewhat satirical name: the Black and White Tofu Duo.

Black and white refer to Chen Feng, and tofu naturally refers to Oscar.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's duo is called the Glazed Cat Duo, while Bai Chenxiang and Ma Hongjun's duo is the Flying Phoenix Duo.

After registering, everyone waited for their opponents to be matched.

Before long, everyone except the two support-type Soul Masters was matched with opponents in single-player matches.

After Zhu Zhuqing and Ma Hongjun entered the arena, they quickly defeated their opponents in the singles match. After all, they were already level 28, which made them strong among the Great Soul Masters.

Bai Chenxiang, due to her low soul power, struggled to deal with her opponents, but in the end, she relied on her excellent speed to engage in hit-and-run tactics and achieved a good start.

Tang San, watching Bai Chenxiang running rapidly through the arena while attacking enemies with feathers, looked thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Feng asked as he approached Tang San.

Tang San hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I want Bai... Feiyan to learn hidden weapon techniques from me."
