Entering the Great Spirit Arena, Lan Si and Ye Lingling completed the soul power level test and put on their masks before heading to the registration area.
"Register me for a single battle and a duo battle, then sign us up directly." Familiar with the rules of the arena, Lan Si took out twenty gold soul coins as the registration fee from his soul guide.
"We'll register you shortly. Whether it's a single battle or a duo battle, you can earn ten gold soul coins for each victory," the staff member said formally, collecting the fee and taking out paper and pen to record the details.
"Please give your group a name, and also a name for the single battle."
Name?
Lan Si and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance before Lan Si spoke: "Let's call the duo 'LanLing Team.' For the single battle... name me 'I Love Eating Rabbit Meat!'"
As for the name, it didn't have much meaning, so Lan Si simply used a combination of their names. For the single battle, it was purely for fun—and besides, he really did like eating rabbit meat.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the rest area of the Great Spirit Arena in Suotuo City...
After three months of grueling training, the Shrek Seven Devils, under Yu Xiaogang's orders, had finally come to the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena for the second stage of their training, aiming to obtain both the team and individual Silver Soul ranks.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the box was quite good. Although they were newcomers, they had achieved excellent results in both single and duo battles that day.
"Haha, the opponents were too weak! With just one Phoenix Fire Line, I almost took them down!" the Evil Fire Phoenix, Ma Hongjun, boasted to the rest of the Shrek Seven Devils.
"Heh, we're not bad either. In our duo battle, with the help of my Flying Sausage, Boss Dai knocked the flying soul master out with a single punch. The other Soul Elder surrendered in fear," Oscar chimed in.
"Of course! Who do you think I am? I'm the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Dai Mubai!" Proud of himself, Dai Mubai pointed his thumb at himself. Then, turning to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong in the corner, he asked, "Zhuqing, how did you and Rongrong do in your duo battle?"
"We won," Zhu Zhuqing's voice was pleasant but cold, just like her personality—short and indifferent, as if she were answering a stranger's question.
This made Dai Mubai feel uneasy.
Ever since he decided to pursue Zhu Zhuqing and found out she was his fiancée, Dai Mubai had vowed to change his ways and cut ties with his past girlfriends. But no matter what he did, Zhu Zhuqing's attitude toward him never changed.
It was as if an impenetrable wall stood between them, pushing them further apart. Whether he behaved well or even reverted to seeking other women, Zhu Zhuqing remained indifferent.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Oscar quickly changed the subject: "Tang San, how about you and Xiao Wu?"
Before Tang San could answer, the broadcast in the arena announced:
"Match 118: 'Soft-Bone Demon Rabbit' versus 'I Love Eating Rabbit Meat.' Please proceed to Battle Arena 7."
The Shrek members were momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
"Soft-Bone Demon Rabbit vs. I Love Eating Rabbit Meat..."
"Hahaha, Xiao Wu, your opponent's name is too funny!"
Hearing the teasing, Xiao Wu's face flushed with anger. "Hmph, stop laughing! That guy is going to pay. Just watch how I teach him a lesson!"
With that, Xiao Wu dashed towards Battle Arena 7 in a huff.
Watching Xiao Wu leave, Oscar asked with a grin, "Tang San, can your Xiao Wu handle it?"
Tang San smiled and shook his head. "You guys underestimate Xiao Wu. She's much stronger than she appears. If she gets serious, even Dai Mubai would have a hard time against her. Besides, she's been holding back her frustration from three months of training. It's time for her to blow off some steam."
"True." Oscar swallowed hard, recalling his previous experience facing Xiao Wu's wrath.

Elsewhere...
Lan Si and Ye Lingling had just finished their duo battle and were resting in the lounge when they heard the announcement. They were momentarily stunned.
He didn't expect to encounter the old rabbit so soon. Did this mean that the little kitty was also here?
"Lan Si, your name is 'I Love Eating Rabbit Meat,' and now you're up against 'Soft-Bone Demon Rabbit.' She must hate you," Ye Lingling said with a chuckle, covering her mouth.
"Let her hate me then. It doesn't matter who the opponent is; the result will be the same." Lan Si shrugged. "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
"Alright, be careful." Ye Lingling nodded, confident in Lan Si's abilities. Over the past three months, they had been through hundreds of battles together without a single loss. Lan Si had even defeated a Soul Elder on his own in one team battle.
Such accomplishments had made Ye Lingling almost blindly trust Lan Si.
In Battle Arena 7
With the host announcing the start of the match, Xiao Wu, wearing a half-mask, jumped onto the stage in anger.
"Oh, you've finally arrived?" A lazy voice sounded.
A young man in luxurious blue attire, also wearing a half-mask, appeared before her. He was tall with flowing black hair—it was Lan Si.
That voice, that hairstyle, and that familiar build... Could it be that despicable man, Lan Si?
Xiao Wu's mind was in turmoil, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
No, it couldn't be. It must be someone who just looks similar. From what she knew, Lan Si had gone to an advanced soul master academy in Heaven Dou City, so it was unlikely for him to be in Suotuo City.
Relaxing, Xiao Wu glared at him and shouted, "Are you the one who loves eating rabbit meat?"
"Yes, I do love eating rabbit meat," Lan Si nodded, a teasing smile appearing on his lips. "Especially the meat of Soft-Bone Rabbits; it's exceptionally delicious."
"You...! I'll avenge all the poor rabbits!" Xiao Wu, hearing that he loved eating Soft-Bone Rabbit meat, could no longer hold back her rage. She summoned her martial soul, with two yellow and one purple ring rising from her feet. In an instant, she lunged at Lan Si.
Today, she would avenge her fellow rabbits—or rather, her descendants!
