------------------------------------------------------
In the Great Soul Battle Arena, Spirit City, Arena No. 1.
The dazzling lights intertwined, forming a brilliant sea of illumination that bathed the entire arena in brightness as if it were daylight.
The stands were packed to capacity, with the clamor of the audience rising and falling like waves, creating an atmosphere of intense excitement.
At this moment, the manager of the Great Soul Battle Arena slowly stepped into the center of the arena.
He raised his hand to signal for silence, his voice booming: "Esteemed audience, the match you're about to witness is truly remarkable, so I'll personally host it!"
"As for why it's so remarkable?"
The manager suddenly pointed toward the left exit. "First, on the left, we have a dark horse contender who has achieved an impressive seven consecutive victories!"
"Please welcome the 'monsters' from Shrek Academy—the San Shuai Duo!" (Three/San Handsome lmao, similar to San Wu, Tang San and Xiao Wu)
As the manager finished his introduction, Tang San and Ma Hongjun emerged side by side.
Tang San wore plain yet tidy blue battle attire, the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist swaying slightly. Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, was clad in fiery red robes, his round figure unable to hide the arrogance radiating from him.
The audience erupted into thunderous cheers: "San Shuai Duo, finish them quickly—I bet on your victory!"
Ma Hongjun instantly puffed up with pride, tilting his head back and pounding his chest as he addressed the crowd: "Don't worry, folks! I'll take them down again in just three minutes!"
Tang San remained silent, a faint smirk curling his lips as he exuded confidence, seemingly agreeing…
That Ma Hongjun's boast held no exaggeration whatsoever.
Once the two reached the center of the arena, the manager spoke again.
"Now, the next team is equally extraordinary—you'll definitely be shocked when you see them!"
"Please welcome our Tiger and Big Fox Duo!"
Hearing the manager's mysterious tone, the arena fell silent in an instant. The crowd craned their necks toward the right entrance, their eyes brimming with curiosity.
Even Tang San and Ma Hongjun couldn't help but exchange glances.
After all, their previous matches had been hosted by ordinary attendants, but now the manager himself was handling things—clearly a sign of special treatment.
"Who could it be?" Ma Hongjun whispered.
Tang San shook his head indifferently, his face calm. "I don't know either."
"And it doesn't matter. Whoever they are, they'll still…"
Before Tang San could finish, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he blurted out: "It's him!"
His voice carried a clear undertone of surprise and anger.
At that moment, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the passage. His golden hair shimmered under the bright lights, while his sleek black outfit accentuated his perfectly sculpted muscles.
This person was none other than Dai Chengfeng.
Close behind him followed Hu Liena, dressed in white-and-gold battle attire, her chestnut shoulder-length hair fluttering in the wind. Her fox tail swayed faintly behind her, exuding an innate allure.
"You know him?"
Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San, puzzled by his surprised expression.
Tang San nodded, a flicker of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. "He's the one who humiliated Master back then, and the younger brother whom Big Brother Dai has been obsessing over…"
"The fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Chengfeng!"
Meanwhile, in a backstage lounge, only Yu Xiaogang remained.
Dai Mubai and Oscar had already gone to another arena, where their battle had already begun.
Yu Xiaogang had been intently watching the footage of Dai Mubai and Oscar's fight against their opponents. However, by chance, he glanced at Tang San's arena screen.
Instantly, his face turned an ashen black.
"Dai! Cheng! Feng!"
Yu Xiaogang ground out the name through clenched teeth, his fists clenching so tightly that his nails nearly dug into his palms.
He would never forget the scene in Nuoding City when the other man had grabbed him by the neck and berated him like a dog.
That incident ranked second only to being expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as the greatest humiliation of his life.
It was also the reason he had hurriedly brought Tang San to Spirit City, even taking risks—he wanted Tang San to grow stronger quickly so he could exact revenge on Dai Chengfeng.
But he hadn't expected to encounter him again here in Spirit City.
However, soon, a cruel smile spread across Yu Xiaogang's face.
"Dai Chengfeng, you've chosen the path to destruction! Heaven has its paths, but you refused to walk them; hell has no doors, yet you walked right in!"
Yu Xiaogang was well aware of his disciple's abilities. Though Tang San might lag behind Dai Chengfeng in soul power—after all, Dai Chengfeng had already reached level 31 in Nuoding City, and likely stood at levels 33 or 34 now—Tang San was currently at level 27.
But Tang San had his hidden weapons!
Moreover, Dai Chengfeng would have to suppress his soul power, limiting himself to level 27.
At the same level, combined with Tang San's hidden weapons, Yu Xiaogang was confident that Tang San wouldn't lose to Dai Chengfeng.
For a moment, a ruthless gleam flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. "Xiao San, give it your all and teach Dai Chengfeng a harsh lesson for me!"
"Let him know the price of humiliating me!"
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang could already vividly imagine his disciple Tang San using his hidden weapons to pin Dai Chengfeng to the ground, grinding him into submission until he begged for mercy—a thought that filled him with excitement.
As for Hu Liena?
Though she looked somewhat familiar, Yu Xiaogang believed Ma Hongjun alone was enough to handle her. He didn't consider her a threat at all.

Meanwhile, on Arena No. 1.
The manager gazed at the frenzied crowd and burst into laughter: "That's right! One of these two is the illustrious fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire, the young genius known as the War Sage—Dai Chengfeng!"
"And the other is a member of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, the prodigious young maiden Hu Liena!"
Upon hearing the manager's introduction, the crowd went wild once more, screams echoing throughout the arena.
"This battle is going to be absolutely spectacular!"
After all, they had only known about Hu Liena before, but they hadn't expected the golden-haired youth to be so remarkable as well.
Seeing this, the manager nodded in satisfaction: "Monsters versus geniuses—who will emerge as the superior duo?"
"Without further ado, let's not waste any more time."
"The match begins!"
"It's been a while since our last meeting in Nuoding City."
As the manager stepped off the arena, Tang San fixed Dai Chengfeng with a cold glare, his voice dripping with hostility.
However, Dai Chengfeng didn't even spare Tang San a glance. Instead, he casually turned to Hu Liena beside him and said, "Let me take care of this. It'll be quick. I also want to test out a new soul skill."
"As for the spirit fusion technique, we can try it later against an evenly matched team. These two…"
"They aren't worthy of being my whetstone."
Dai Chengfeng's tone was indifferent, as if Tang San and Ma Hongjun were nothing more than insignificant ants beneath his notice.
"Bastard!"
Seeing Dai Chengfeng completely disregard him, Ma Hongjun roared furiously, his face flushing red, his eyes blazing with rage.
"Who do you think you're looking down on? Today, your Uncle Ma is here to teach you a lesson on behalf of Elder Dai!"
"Let me show you just how powerful we are at Shrek Academy!"
Tang San's expression darkened to its peak. "Dai Chengfeng, you've already found your way to die!"
