Chapter 74: Seven Treasure Soul Battle Arena
Ning Bei, who was caught by the three women, had a thorough experience of what it was like to be a human pack mule.
Fortunately, he had a storage soul tool, otherwise, he would have had to consider whether to pull out a few soul beasts to act as his laborers.
He had often heard his friends complain about their girlfriends or mothers who would spend the whole day shopping without buying anything.
However, these three were different. It didn't matter whether the items were useful or not; as long as they caught their eye, they'd take them.
The group shopped from morning till evening, only stopping when they finally became hungry, marking the end of their shopping spree.
Behind them, Ning Bei was mentally exhausted. Despite his enhanced body from the immortal herbs and whale gum, along with his 76th-level soul power, he could barely handle the pace.
When it came to shopping, these women were at the level of Title Douluo.
They found a restaurant, and the group ordered a large feast to satisfy their hunger.
"Rongrong, my shoes are still a bit lacking. After we eat, let's go check out the Seven Treasure Shoe Shop again!"
"Mm, that sounds good! I also want to see if Master Naike has any new items. Yan Zi, are you coming with us after eating?"
"Sure, we'll make it quick!"
Ning Bei stood there, dumbfounded, as the three women quickly made plans to go shopping again after eating. Inside, he felt like a thousand alpacas were running through his mind.
"Are you serious? My legs are about to give out!"
The three women looked at him with disdain.
"How many people would love to shop with three beautiful women like us and never get the chance? I advise you not to be ungrateful."
In the end, Ning Bei couldn't escape his fate of continuing as their pack mule, but thankfully, Xiao Wu got distracted by the conversations of some passersby while they were shopping.
"I heard there's a Soul King team aiming for a 20-win streak at the Seven Treasure Soul Battle Arena today. Want to check it out?"
"I heard about it too! They seem to have a martial soul fusion technique. Let's go see!"
Xiao Wu's ears perked up, and she overheard the conversation.
"Rongrong, let's go check it out! If they're really that strong, we could form a team and try it out ourselves."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she heard Xiao Wu's words. She also found the idea very interesting.
"Yes, yes, let's go."
Without greeting Dugu Yan and Ning Bei behind them, the two of them took each other's hands and rushed toward the Seven Treasure Soul Battle Arena.
Ning Bei secretly sighed with relief. No matter what, at least this terrible shopping trip was finally over.
"Are you interested, Yan Zi? Should we go check it out too?"
"Mm, let's go!"
This was Ning Bei's first time at a Soul Battle Arena in the Douluo World, and it felt a bit fresh to him.
When the four of them entered the arena, they found the stands were already packed with spectators. It seemed like the team aiming for 20 wins in a row was quite popular.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong went to the front desk to sign up for a two-person soul battle, calling themselves the Seven Treasure Enchantress Bunny duo.
Ning Bei had a headache watching the two of them act so recklessly. Surely, the 20-win streak team had some real skill. What if they ended up hitting a wall?
But the two girls didn't care what Ning Bei thought. They'd already signed up, so whatever.
Above the battle stage, a host was already warming up the crowd using a flying soul tool. Ning Bei couldn't help but think of a child who had recently awakened in the sect. His martial soul was a microphone. It seemed like there would be a job for him in the future.
"Alright, welcome everyone to the Seven Treasure Soul Battle Arena's competition today. Our seed contestants, the Snowfield Twin Combo, are eagerly awaiting their 20th win. Let's cheer them on!"
"Let's give a warm round of applause for Nunu and Willem!"
As the host announced, a giant man, about three meters tall, walked onto the stage, followed by a small man who was only about one meter tall.
Ning Bei couldn't help but smile. This was the cutest height difference he had ever seen.
"Now, let's welcome their opponents, the Axe Gang Combo!"
Two men in black suits appeared on stage, looking extremely arrogant, as if they didn't consider the tall and short duo in front of them.
"Tch, Snowfield Twins? The Axe Gang Duo will easily crush you."
The tall and short duo in front of them didn't get angry. Instead, they smiled and waved their fingers at their opponents.
The Axe Gang duo immediately became furious.
Both men summoned axes, and their soul rings appeared—white, yellow, yellow—the same configuration, with six soul rings in total.
The short man looked at his partner.
"Willem, we're going."
"Mm."
The giant man named Willem immediately entered his martial soul possession state. A snow-white snowman appeared behind him, with three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—shining in sequence.
Seeing their soul ring configuration was superior to theirs, the Axe Gang duo frowned, and a bad feeling flashed in their minds. But since they had already come here, they couldn't just surrender. They braced themselves and started using their soul skills.
"Spinning Axe!"
"Great Massacre!"
One of them threw his axe at the snowman giant, while the other charged at him. His axe grew huge and spun around his body as he slashed at the snowman.
Willem wasn't flustered by their attack. His third soul ring lit up, and a furious roar echoed.
"Frost Shock!"
The enormous shockwave sent the charging man flying off the stage, and the giant axe was also sent flying, disappearing into the distance.
The man who had thrown the axe looked at his comrade, who was unconscious on the stage, his face turning pale as he raised his arm.
"We surrender!"
The audience erupted into angry shouts. There are always some opportunists who bet against the odds in a competition, but now, seeing the Axe Gang duo defeated in one exchange, they were furious, and the insults began.
The host immediately announced the result.
"Alright, the Snowfield Twins have successfully secured their 20th consecutive victory. How far can they extend their winning streak? Let's wait and see."
After the announcement, the host glanced at his notes.
"Next up, we have a beautiful girl duo, the Seven Treasure Enchantress Bunny Combo, made up of Soul King Xiao Wu and Great Soul Master Ning Rongrong. Will they be able to take on the Snowfield Twins?"
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong hurriedly walked to the arena when their names were called.
Ning Bei, watching from the side, wondered if he should step in and save them if they ended up losing. At most, he'd stop coming to the Soul Battle Arena in the future.
The audience laughed as they saw two little girls stepping onto the stage.
"Are these two kids here to make us laugh?"
"No, they're betting that the Snowfield Twins won't fight against women and children."
"I'm all in on the Snowfield Twins. Even if they're mosquitoes, they're still worth something!"
When the host confirmed both sides were ready, he announced the start of the battle.
Nunu, the short man, saw the two little girls on stage and couldn't hide his disdain.
"Little kids, you should hurry up and leave before you get beaten and start crying."
