Dai Mu Bai returned quickly and nodded at Fran, indicating that he had already sent Oscar to comfort Ning Rongrong.
Flanders waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw him tiptoeing on the ground and lightly jumping out, heading in the direction outside the college.
Everyone rushed to follow up.
Ferrand maintained a fairly rapid pace throughout, and it was now apparent that there was a considerable gap in strength between the five pupils.
Right behind Flender was the Evil Eyed White Tiger, Dai Mubai. Behind Dai Mubai wasn't Tang San, but rather Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was excellent, but in terms of linear acceleration, it was actually inferior to Zhu Zhuqing, this agile attacking Soul Master. Therefore, he and Xiao Wu were tied for third place. Ma Hongjun came in last, but wasn't much slower than Tang San.
All the way, Flander didn't say a word again, and Tang San and the others also remained silent. In their minds, they were still thinking about the conversation between Flander and Ning Rongrong earlier.
Soon, Tang San discovered the destination of Fran's trip, which was Soto City.
It's not far from Shrek Academy to Soto City, and just as they were about to arrive at the South Gate of Soto City, Flender slowed down his speed. Let the five students catch up.
Soto City is located within the Kingdom of Barak and will not be threatened by any external forces, so the city gates are open all day. The six people entered the city smoothly.
Although it's already dark now, Soto City seems to have just woken up and is even more lively than during the day. On both sides of the street, all shops are brightly lit, and some small vendors who only come out at night have also found their usual places to sell snacks or small items.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had also stayed in Soto City for two days, but they hadn't gone out at night. Tang San was a bit better, while Xiao Wu was excitedly looking around, seeing some interesting things and quietly sneaking up to take a closer look. If it weren't for Tang San holding onto her, she might have already gotten lost.
Zhu Zhuqing still had an icy face, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her. Her gaze remained fixed on Frand in front of her, without being affected by the outside world at all.
Dai Mu's eyes were cast downward, revealing his calm side, and his appearance was almost identical to Zhu Zhuqing's, except that his face lacked the layer of frost, everything looked very natural.
Ma Hongjun's eyes were a bit insufficient, although he didn't have the same interest in everything like Xiaowu, his eyes would roll around and focus on the most distinctive parts of the women on the street.
From six to sixty, Ma Hongjun's eyes almost didn't let anyone go, and as soon as he saw someone with a fuller figure, he immediately swallowed hard. Fortunately, he was at the back of the team, and no one else noticed his current state.
Flanders suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "There's still some time. Follow me."
As he spoke, Verandah led the five people into an unassuming tea house by the side of the street. The six of them sat down around a round table and Verandah ordered six cups of the cheapest tea.
Xiao Wu looked at the tea water in front of her that was full of tea foam and frowned, "Principal, our first class won't be held here, will it?"
"Of course not," said Franande, "where you have class, over there." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed outward.
Following the direction of his finger, Tang San saw that not far from the teahouse, there was a large building with a height of nearly 100 meters, extremely majestic. In the night sky, it looked very deep and profound. From within that massive structure, a faint glow flickered.
Dai Mu Bai's face changed color and he said in a low voice: "Director, are you going to send them there on the first day?"
"Remember, you are all monsters, not ordinary people. Since you are monsters, you should have a monster's way of cultivation."
He paused, and said in a deep voice: "Your martial souls are all different, each with its own cultivation method. What the academy can teach you is how to better utilize your martial soul, help you obtain better soul rings, gain more combat experience, and develop your potential as much as possible. The rest is about knowledge of various aspects of martial souls, and the situation of Soul Masters on the continent. Among all the things you need to learn, the most important one is combat experience."
"With the same rank and strength, the amount of actual combat experience will be the key to winning or losing. Only through continuous actual combat can you maximize your adaptability in battle. So, your first lesson is actual combat. And that place, is your classroom."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, Ma Hongjun didn't dare to make a sound, while Dai Mubai's evil gaze revealed a hint of helplessness. They obviously both knew what kind of place that was. Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the icy Zhu Zhuqing all showed puzzled expressions.
Furando said, "A building like this can only be owned by a city of the main castle level. Its scale can be said to be a symbol of whether a city or even a country is prosperous or not. Such a building is called a Grand Soul Arena. And it will be named after the city where it is located. Therefore, the one in front of you is called Soto's Grand Soul Arena."
"What is known as the Grand Soul Arena, is a place where Soul Masters engage in fierce battles. It's said that whether it's the Empire of Heaven or the Empire of Stars, the outcome of the battles in this arena determines the rise and fall of nations."
Tang San furrowed his brow and said, "Director, isn't being a Soul Master the most noble profession? Why would there be places like the Great Soul Arena where people watch Soul Masters fight like performing monkeys?"
