"Mhm, Teacher, I understand."
Tang San nodded.
He guessed that Teacher might indeed have reached some kind of agreement with Ye Feng back then.
Or perhaps Teacher simply didn't want to bring up that person anymore.
He was right, what's past is past, let it go.
There was no need to dwell on it.
But he was thinking too small.
"Mhm, that's good. Starting today, train well and don't let him affect your state of mind."
Although Teacher had intentionally avoided letting Tang San see Ye Feng's body back then, it turned out he still caused him psychological trauma.
After all, he was just a six-year-old child at the time, suddenly seeing a fellow villager bitten to death by a snake—it's normal for that to leave a lifelong impression.
If he had just said that Ye Feng had been cured and left, it might have been better.
Unfortunately, these things cannot be redone.
He believed that after his warning today, Tang San would be able to completely forget about it.
"Understood! I will put my all into training!!"
Tang San clenched his fists tightly.
Ye Feng acted so arrogantly, right?
Then he would defeat him! He would pin him to the ground and rub his face in the dirt, fiercely winning a round for Teacher!
At this moment, Tang San swore to himself in his heart.
He felt that Teacher was so sensitive and even disallowed mentioning Ye Feng's name because the person he gave up on had become such a powerful figure, even defeating him at the assembly town.
So Teacher was hit hard.
But that was then!!
He believed that the next time he encountered him, he would definitely knock him down.
And let him know what it feels like to have his face ground into the dirt!!
"Alright, you can rest for today, I'll personally take you to class in a couple of days," said Grandmaster at that moment.
"Mhm."
Tang San nodded.
Soon, night fell.
Soto City was indeed the city that never sleeps.
The nightlife was even livelier than the daytime.
Especially at the Soto City Great Soul Fighting Arena.
It was bustling with activity.
Ye Feng walked in.
If he couldn't spot the wealthy Young Master Dai at the Rose Hotel, naturally, he had to clock in at the Soto City Great Soul Fighting Arena.
"Are you sure you want to register with the name 'Bloodthirsty Demon'? It will cost you ten gold coins," asked the attendant at the counter as Ye Feng submitted his information.
"Mhm," nodded Ye Feng and handed over ten gold coins.
"Here is your Iron Fighting Soul Badge. If you are arranged for a match, it will notify you," said the attendant as she handed over the badge to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took the Iron Fighting Soul Badge.
He had to admit, it felt quite substantial.
If he remembered correctly, to graduate from Shrek Academy you had to reach the Silver Fighting Soul Badge, right? He wondered what level he could reach here.
Ye Feng played with the badge in his hand for a moment.
Ten minutes later, it was his turn to go on stage.
The dazzling lights shone down!
The match was about to start!
"Welcome everyone to the Soto City Great Spirit Arena on this wonderful night!!" At that moment, a blonde woman with a pair of invisible wings on her back flew into the air—it was the host of the event.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the crowd went wild.
"Our first match in the arena 18 today is Fatty Tiger versus Bloodthirsty Demon, please enter the arena!"
First to enter was a burly, overweight man.
Following him was a man wearing a bright red mask.
That man was naturally Ye Feng.
He didn't want to reveal his true identity.
And he didn't want to use his fourth soul ring either.
So he concealed his strength and signed up for the Soul Honor Level competition.
Having been acquainted with Xue'er for so many years, if she had the skill to hide soul rings, he naturally had the skill to hide his Soul Power.
So this wasn't a problem.
As for why he was doing this?
He just wanted to have some fun and see how long it would take him to reach the Silver Fighting Soul Badge level by hiding at the Soul Venerable Level.
And incidentally, to test the cultivation techniques he practiced on a regular basis.
"Fight!"
"Fight!!"
As the host announced, the audience around the ring became as excited as if injected with adrenaline.
But at the next breath, the entire place fell deathly silent!!
They all looked as if they were lifelike statues.
What did they see?
The one called Bloodthirsty Demon had knocked out his opponent with just one strike!
Fatty Tiger simply fell down flat.
With a thunderous sound!!
"The Soul Honor Arena is such trash, this is too weak," Ye Feng said, unimpressed, after knocking out his opponent with a single punch.
It was a simplicity he had never imagined.
And thus, that night, the Soul Arena witnessed the rise of a superstar!!
After winning the regular matches, he even went on to participate in challenge matches, life-and-death battles!!
Winning fifteen games in a row at the Soul Venerable Arena, taking five consecutive victories in the Soul Ancestor Arena that same night!
At eleven o'clock at night.
"Sigh, those Soul Venerables are too weak. Tomorrow, I should keep going with the life-and-death matches and transcendent battles," Ye Feng said as he walked out of the grand soul fighting arena, strolling alone through the streets and heading towards the Rose Hotel.
"Ah~ Ah, no, please!!"
Suddenly, a woman's scream came from a nearby alley.
