"Holy Son, they went to register at the Battle Soul Arena. Looks like they also want to participate in this Advanced Soul Master Tournament!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. Since they've come, they shouldn't think about leaving.
"Since they're already at the Battle Soul Arena, why not give them a little lesson?"
Mobot said, "I'd like to, but they're a Soul Sovereign-level team. Meeting them in a match is a bit unrealistic."
"What's their strength like? How have they performed in other Battle Soul Arenas?"
Mobot said, "According to our investigation, their captain is from the royal family of the Star Luo Empire. His name is Dai Mubai. Though he's royalty, it seems he was kicked out. The Star Luo royal competition is different from Heaven Dou's — they only allow one prince to inherit the throne. The others either get killed or have to flee. The royal family doesn't care. Even if they die, it's no big deal."
"So he's basically a stray dog. I thought they might be troublesome. Who else?"
"Their support-type Soul Master is Princess Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan — now that is trouble!"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned.
"Why would the princess of one of the Upper Three Sects be on their team? If I'm not mistaken, her sect has the world's number one offensive Martial Soul — the Seven Kill Sword, wielded by Jian Daochenxin."
Mobot nodded and said, "Yes, Jian Daochenxin is no joke. Even though he's only Level 95, other Title Douluos at Level 95 aren't even on the same level as him. Only Super Douluos can fight him on equal footing!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. The world's number one offensive Martial Soul — if it wasn't that powerful, it wouldn't deserve the title. Definitely trouble.
"Who else?"
Mobot shook his head and said, "The rest are small fries. Only Tang San seems to have a mysterious background — we're still looking into it!"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Hmm, I also feel like there's something off about Tang San. Let's skip today's matches and all go to the arena to watch!"
Mobot nodded, "No problem. I want to see if this so-called 'Master' Yu Xiaogang has any real skills!"
When it came to Tang San, Jiang Xiaofeng remained cautious. The kid gave him an unusual feeling.
That night, Soto City was brightly lit as always — especially the Battle Soul Arena, the liveliest place in town.
"Your Highness, it's time to go. Yu Xiaogang and the others have already left!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Let's go. I really want to see what they're capable of."
The group headed for the Battle Soul Arena. Unlike Blackhorn City, the Soto City Arena was massive and crowded. The level of Soul Masters coming and going was also much higher — no comparison to the small-time scene in Blackhorn.
"So this is the Soto Battle Soul Arena? Looks impressive."Boss Hu looked around in awe.
Even Jiang Xiaofeng was seeing it for the first time and had to admit — it was grand.
Everyone else was just as curious. This was their first time in such a luxurious arena.
Mobot said, "The Soto Battle Soul Arena ranks among the top in all of Douluo Continent. It's not just large — it draws an enormous number of Soul Masters from every level. Even Soul Emperors and Soul Saints are common here. Sometimes, you might even catch a glimpse of a Title Douluo."
"Title Douluo!!!"Boss Hu and the others looked excited — they'd never seen a Title Douluo before.
"Yeah, it's one of the top arenas on the continent. Let's go. Their team's match should be starting soon!"
"Yeah!"
The group entered the arena and was quickly guided to a luxurious private viewing room.
Inside the arena, a 7v7 match was underway and seemed to be wrapping up soon.
Jiang Xiaofeng observed the match — Soul Sect vs. Soul Sect, but with a clear power imbalance. Not much to learn from it.
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "I'm going for a walk. You all keep watching."
He left the viewing room.
The Soto Arena wasn't just for matches — it had leisure and entertainment areas too. Jiang Xiaofeng found a spot and sat down.
Watching Soul Masters come and go, Jiang Xiaofeng squinted his eyes.
"All alone, young master?"
A woman approached, eyeing his luxurious clothing and hoping to get something out of him — maybe some Gold Soul Coins.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't even glance at her.
"Get lost."
His voice was ice cold — the kind of voice that could only come from someone who'd taken countless lives.
Terrified, the woman left in a hurry, afraid this handsome young man might kill her on the spot.
The wave of killing intent immediately quieted the surroundings. People became curious about this young man.
"Friend, you're here too."
Jiang Xiaofeng turned. Sure enough, it was Tang San. He'd seen him enter the arena earlier and had come here deliberately to wait for him.
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Sit down."
Tang San didn't hold back, but the girl beside him looked uneasy.
"Brother San, let's go!"
Tang San said, "Xiao Wu, you go with the teacher first. I'll be right there. I want to talk to him."
Xiao Wu gave Jiang Xiaofeng a wary look. Jiang Xiaofeng looked back at her — something about her felt… off, but he couldn't say what.
Feeling scrutinized, Xiao Wu involuntarily stepped back a few paces, then nodded and left with Yu Xiaogang and the others.
Jiang Xiaofeng smiled, "Your little girlfriend's… different."
Tang San said, "She's my sister."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Call her whatever you want. You're not from this world, are you?"
Tang San stared at him, on high alert.
"If I'm not mistaken, you aren't either."
Jiang Xiaofeng openly nodded, "Of course. And neither are you."
Tang San was curious — how could this guy be so sure?
"You waited here just to say that?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Of course not. I was already pretty certain of your identity earlier today. This is just confirmation."
Tang San said, "I'm guessing you don't want others to know this secret either."
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Doesn't matter. No one would believe it anyway, right?"
Tang San: "Fair enough. So, what else do you want?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Since we're both reincarnators, I figured we should talk. Don't say I didn't give you a chance later on."
Tang San's expression shifted — clearly, this guy wasn't up to anything good.
"Talk about what?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Judging from your respect toward Yu Xiaogang, I'm guessing you're his student. But have you ever truly looked into him?"
Tang San nodded, "Though my teacher is only a Soul Sovereign, his theories are second to none in all of Douluo Continent."
"Do you know where those theories come from?"
Tang San said, "He organized and analyzed them himself. What, you think he plagiarized?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head, "Heh… that's all you know about Yu Xiaogang? What if I told you his success was built on deceiving Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall — formerly its Saintess?"
Tang San jumped to his feet.
"Friend, what's your point? Trying to clear Bibi Dong's name? Not happening! I believe in my teacher — not you!"
Jiang Xiaofeng chuckled, "If that's how it is, then we walk different paths — see you on the battlefield!"
Tang San's face darkened, falling into silence.
