Meanwhile, on the Shrek Academy playground, Dai Mubai and his six companions had already begun to assemble.
"Xiao Wu, do you know Yu Xiaogang?" Ning Rongrong, soaking wet and with a flushed face, stood beside Xiao Wu and asked in a low voice.
Xiao Wu paused for a moment, then nodded and whispered, "I know him, he's Tang San's teacher, but we're not very close."
Ning Rongrong looked puzzled: "Tang San? Didn't you always call him 'brother'? Why did you change your address?"
Xiao Wu lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought, and did not answer Ning Rongrong.
When Bai Yu arrived at the playground, Flender was talking to the seven of them.
"Oscar, Ning Rongrong, you did a great job, you both ran twenty laps. You don't need to participate in tonight's activities, just rest well at the academy."
As Flender spoke, a hint of disbelief still lingered in his eyes, as he frequently glanced at Ning Rongrong.
Bai Yu had just arrived when he heard what Flender said, and his expression turned to surprise. He thought to himself, "She really got away?"
He then walked over to Flender, glanced at Ning Rongrong who was soaked in sweat, chuckled, and said:
"Hey, Dean, take it easy. If something goes wrong, the only way to chat with you again is to visit your grave!"
Flender's lips twitched, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected Ning Rongrong to actually run twenty laps, and he had no reason to stop her from following behind.
He then turned and glared at Bai Yu, saying, "You little brat, all you do is say sarcastic remarks. Oscar, take Ning Rongrong to Old Shao's place and ask for a few recovery candies."
"Then you all get some rest. As for the five of you, come with me to the Great Soul Arena. Your lesson for today will be there!"
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at the Bai Yu, then looked at Flender and said:
"No need, I've done this kind of physical training at home before, I'm not that delicate. I'm going back to my dorm first, I'm covered in sweat, it's so uncomfortable!"
Oscar watched Ning Rongrong leave and said, "Then, Dean, I'll head back first too!"
After saying that, he turned and ran towards Ning Rongrong.
Flender watched the two walk away, then turned to face the Bai Yu.
"Hey kid, what are you doing here? Did you come here just to laugh at me?" Flender said irritably.
Ning Rongrong turned the tables on him, making him feel a bit uncomfortable. Bai Yu even came to laugh at him.
Looking at Flender's unwilling and slightly fearful face, Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, Dean, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to come at me like that? I just came to join you guys and see what's going on!"
Flender looked at his grinning face, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Then let's go together."
He then waved to Tang San and his group of five: "Let's go, follow me."
As everyone ran out of the academy, Tang San's eyes were fixed on Bai Yu, who was walking beside Flender.
Watching him move with such incredible speed, his steps, though seemingly small, made one feel dizzy and disoriented.
He then shook his head, thinking to himself:
"This is definitely a movement technique, and it's even more advanced than my Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. I was so ignorant before!"
As the group entered Soto City, their pace slowed down. Seeing the bustling scene on the streets, Xiao Wu and the others couldn't help but take a look.
There is no curfew in Soto, and the city is even more lively at night than during the day, with all kinds of department store stalls and acrobatic performances.
Ever since Ma Hongjun entered the city, his eyes have been glued to all the women around him, and he can't take them off.
Regardless of height, weight, or build, everyone was scanned.
(TL: someone should flash him an image of Big Mom naked)
"Brother Bai, look at that one over there, she's twisting her waist so seductively."
Ma Hongjun tugged at Bai Yu's clothes and said excitedly.
Before Bai Yu could speak, Xiao Wu couldn't help but interject, "Hey Fatty, you can't live without a woman, can you?"
Ma Hongjun grinned: "You're God Dam right!"
"Alright, stop joking. We still have some time. Let's go to the teahouse and I'll tell you about the Great Soul Arena."
Flender glanced at the two bickering and then spoke.
The group arrived at the teahouse. Just as Flender was about to order, he was stopped by Bai Yu.
"I'll do it. Dean, the stuff you ordered is not as good as some boiled water."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Flender waved his hand and said:
"I didn't bring them here for tea, but since you're treating, I won't stand on ceremony. Bring me a pot of top-grade Chunlv tea!"
Bai Yu rolled his eyes: "Well, I've never seen you be polite before. Little Bai, tell them about the Great Soul Arena."
Dai Mubai glanced at Bai Yu, then said, "Okay, Brother Bai, but isn't it a bit early to bring them here directly?"
Flender then spoke up: "Shrek is a monster academy, and you are all little monsters. Monsters have their own training methods."
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, a half-smile on his face.
"Come on, Dean. The conditions are just bad. There are too few students, not enough for battle. Monsters? Don't fool yourself."
Flender's face instantly turned awkward, and he couldn't help but reach out to shoo the Bai Yu away:
"Get out of my way, you brat! Why are you always undermining me? Mubai, hurry up and introduce the Great Soul Arena to them!"
"Yes, Dean!"
Dai Mubai continued:
"The so-called Great Soul Arena is a type of building that can only be found in the main city. It is also a symbol of the city's strength. The Great Soul Arena is named after the city. The one in front of us is called the Soto Great Soul Arena."
"The main purpose of the Great Soul Arena is for Soul Masters to fight. According to the arrangements of the Great Soul Arena, different Soul Masters will engage in battles for others to watch!"
Tang San, looking puzzled, couldn't help but ask:
"Isn't being a Soul Master the most prestigious profession? Why is there a place where Soul Masters are treated like monkeys, providing amusement for others?"
Bai Yu took a sip of tea and picked up the conversation.
"You're not entirely right. First, no matter how prestigious a Soul Master is, they still need money, and this is a place where they can make money."
"Secondly, this place can increase combat experience; otherwise, one can only train outside, which is very dangerous. Thirdly, this is also a place where geniuses can make a name for themselves."
Dai Mubai nodded and said:
"That's right. You get a medal for each win here, and you get points for every win after that. Once you have enough points, your medal will be upgraded. Those who own high-level medals are very famous and can earn a lot of money!"
"Of course, it's not that easy, because you'll lose points if you lose, and almost every Soul Master who comes here loses points when they level up to a higher level."
"Why?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
Dai Mubai gave a wry smile: "Heh, take you as an example. You're level 29 now, and there are few rivals among the Great Soul Masters."
"And what if you reach level 31? You'll be at the bottom of the Soul Master rankings, and all your opponents will be level 38 or 39. You'll lose more than you win!"
Flender glanced at the sky and then said, "Alright, we've learned enough. Let's go inside."
