As the battle on the duel platform neared its end, Gui Mei finally glanced at Xu Sheng and abruptly reminded him, "Xu Sheng, this grand melee is almost over, but what about your match? It seems there hasn't been an announcement yet!"
Xu Sheng shook his head, indicating he was also unclear, "Although I've registered, it seems that there is a clear rule on Sea God's Island that one must be at least fourteen years old to participate in the arena."
"So I had that staff member report upwards, I suppose we'll have a result soon."
Suddenly, Gui Mei's eyes narrowed, "It looks like there's no need to wait, someone is coming!!"
As his words fell, the staff member who had greeted Xu Sheng before approached with a smile...
In an exceedingly respectful tone, he said, "Respected guests, my lord has requested your presence, would you please come to the lounge for a talk!!"
Gui Mei was taken aback, "Guests??"
However, he quickly realized that the other party must have recognized his Titled Douluo strength!
For a moment, a trace of pride inevitably appeared on his face...
It was an honor for this arena that he, as a Titled Douluo, had personally come here!!
Xu Sheng glanced at him, "Elder Gui, let's go. Let's not keep them waiting."
Hearing this, Gui Mei placed his hands behind his back and commanded in a tone of authority, "Hmm... Lead the way."
One must use such a condescending tone towards the weak to truly experience one's own strength!!
The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, respected guests, please follow me!!"
Thankfully, these two were reasonable. Otherwise, he would have been the one to suffer!!
He then started to lead Xu Sheng and Gui Mei away...
After a short while, they arrived at the door of the lounge...
The staff member gently knocked on the door and announced, "My lord, the two guests you invited have arrived!!"
Soon, a slightly surprised voice came from inside, "Oh?? They've arrived so soon? Let them in!!"
With permission granted, the staff member gestured, "Guests, please enter."
Xu Sheng and Gui Mei nodded and then pushed the door open to walk in...
What met their eyes was an all too familiar face of power...
One could even imagine the extremely tricky nature of the person...
The man smiled and pointed to the seats in front, "Gentlemen, I've been waiting for you, please have a seat!!"
Xu Sheng and Gui Mei exchanged glances and then took their respective seats...
They were curious to see what the other party intended to say...
The man then turned to the staff member by the door and scolded, "What are you waiting for, can't you see the situation? Quickly, make tea for our distinguished guests!!"
As the latter was about to start, the man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, I can't count on you guys. I'll do it myself!"
He skillfully brewed a pot of tea, carefully poured it out, and set it in front...
Rubbing his hands eagerly, he said, "Gentlemen, please try our tea. It's a rare delicacy!!"
Gui Mei, unpretentious as ever, quickly lifted the teacup and took a sip. Only when the tea reached his taste buds did he ponder and comment, "Hmm, this tea is indeed good!"
Of course, it still couldn't compare to that of the Martial Soul Hall...
Xu Sheng, however, made no move and just stared directly at the man...
Realizing this, the man held back his irritation and asked patiently, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, you are the one who wishes to participate in the Soul Fighting, right??"
Xu Sheng affirmed this, "Yes, I want to participate in Soul Fighting at your esteemed arena, but... I've heard that there is a rule here banning those under fourteen years old from participating?"
The man sighed as if helpless, "Indeed, this rule was personally decreed by Grand Elder Poseissi, and everyone must abide by it!"
"Otherwise, one will suffer very dreadful punishment!"
Gui Mei put down his teacup, his voice cold, "So you're saying, he cannot partake in Soul Fighting at your arena??"
The unintentional suppressive atmosphere he exuded made the man's forehead break out in a cold sweat...
But he still forced a smile and said, "According to the rules, indeed, he cannot be allowed to participate!"
"However, there are exceptions to this matter!"
Gui Mei sneered, "Exceptions?? That is to say, there are Soul Masters under the age of fourteen who have come to this arena to fight, right?!"
From this, one could tell that the other side already had ample experience with such matters!!
The man's back was already chilled, "I suppose... suppose that is the case? But it's not any troublesome method!!"
He had seen Titled Douluos before, but this was the first time he felt such emotions...
The other party, was certainly no kind soul!!
Just then, Xu Sheng abruptly said, "Elder Gui, perhaps you should restrain your imposing aura a bit!"
Gui Mei harrumphed, but he didn't refuse and slowly retracted his oppressive aura...
This scene caused a glint to flash in the man's eyes...
This Titled Douluo was actually obeying this youth's word, it seemed he was not wrong in assuming that the other party had a significant background!
That is to say, there was no need to risk interacting with that Titled Douluo, he just needed to ingratiate himself with the latter!!
With this thought, the smile he directed at Xu Sheng grew even more significant...
"Actually, the method is very simple, and it doesn't require the aid of any external objects!"
Xu Sheng didn't waste words, "Please, speak plainly!"
The man continued, "You just need to affirm that your age is over fourteen years old and that your strength has reached the Soul King Realm, then you can participate in Soul Fighting!!"
"After all, no one will specifically test one's physical constitution!!"
This was also an unspoken rule of the various arenas!!
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei couldn't help but snort with laughter, "Heh..."
So these arenas are just playing the fool, as long as one claims to be over fourteen, they can participate, making the rule essentially nonexistent!!
Xu Sheng's expression also showed a rare hint of complexity...
This method was simpler than he had anticipated, even somewhat difficult to believe!!
However, as long as he could enter the arena, admitting he was fourteen wasn't really an issue!
Seeing Xu Sheng's reaction, the man inquired further, "How about it?? As long as you're willing to admit you're fourteen, I can take the risk to let you participate!!"
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you cannot participate in Soul Fighting at any other arenas!!"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Good, let's do as you say. I'll participate in Soul Fighting at the age of fourteen!!"
With consent given, the man grew excited, passing an eye ornament across the table, "Since that's the case, this is for you. Just wear it, and it will block certain spiritual power probes!!"
Since the spectators who come to watch in the arenas are generally not too strong, with this item, there's no fear of one's true appearance being revealed!!
Xu Sheng was somewhat surprised by this, "You're not going to confirm my strength??"
