Tang San silently took the registration form, his fingers twitching slightly as he immediately began calculating.
Winning one match earned five Gold Soul Coins. If he won several matches, that would cover the cost of crafting Hidden Weapons!
With this thought, Tang San quickly filled out the registration form in his hand. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also took forms and began filling them out.
Noticing that Xue Na and Ning Rongrong hadn't taken registration forms, Flender asked curiously:
"Ning Rongrong, Xue Na, why aren't you two filling out registration forms?"
"Dean, we already have Silver Soul Duel Badges!"
Xue Na and Ning Rongrong each took out two silver badges from their Soul Guiding Devices.
The badge designs were exactly the same as the ones Xiao Wu and the others had received, except theirs were silver while Xiao Wu's group had black ones!
Flender's gaze fell on the silver badges in Xue Na and Ning Rongrong's hands. He was momentarily stunned, then raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying some surprise:
"You two have Silver Soul Duel Badges? When did this happen?"
Ning Rongrong twirled the badge between her fingers and explained with a smile:
"When Brother Husband took us out for training before, we spent some time at a Combat Arena in another city."
"Nana and I fought several dozen Two-Person Soul Duels together, and before we knew it, we reached Silver Combat Soul level."
As she spoke, Ning Rongrong hugged Xue Na's arm beside her. Xue Na also nodded and put her badge back into her Soul Guiding Device:
"I fought together with Sister Rongrong. Most of the time we participated in Two-Person Soul Duels as a team."
Xiao Wu, who had just finished filling out her form, came over to see what was happening and exclaimed:
"Wow! Silver Combat Soul! You two are amazing, Rongrong! I just got my Iron Soul Duel Badge!"
Zhu Zhuqing's hand paused as she finished filling out her registration form. She looked up at Ning Rongrong and Xue Na, a clear flash of surprise passing through her dark pupils.
Having heard Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun talk about their combat records earlier, she had roughly calculated the difficulty of achieving Silver Combat Soul.
Even someone like Dai Mubai, a Soul Elder, had only managed a net score of two points fighting at his level, showing that accumulating enough points was no easy task.
But Xue Na and Ning Rongrong... one was an assault system, the other a support system.
In Two-Person Soul Duels, the most common combinations were assault paired with control, agility assault paired with assault, or double assault teams. Such combinations had high fault tolerance and strong burst capability.
Support system Soul Masters had weak combat capabilities themselves but could provide enhancement traits, making them often indispensable in multi-person soul duels.
However, in Two-Person Soul Duels, support system Soul Masters were natural weak points, meaning the other Soul Master had to face two opponents while also protecting the support system Soul Master.
Such a combination seemed inherently disadvantaged at first glance. How could they fight their way all to Silver Combat Soul?
Flender stroked his chin, a satisfied expression appearing on his face:
"Not bad, not bad. It seems you two coordinate quite well. Since you already have badges, that saves the registration fee."
"Perfect, you should also register for a match later. Go down and practice, consider it today's lesson!"
"Got it, Dean!" Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue and laughed, pulling Xue Na's hand.
"Perfect timing to stretch our limbs. It's been a long time since Nana and I participated in a soul duel match!"
Xue Na also nodded slightly, a flicker of eagerness flashing in her eyes.
After everyone had registered, Flender led the group into the arena to wait for the soul duels to begin.
Entrusting the little monsters to Su Yu, Flender hurriedly walked off the field.
The Soto Soul Duel Arena had twelve arenas.
With all twelve arenas hosting soul duels simultaneously, the daily ticket revenue alone was no small sum—unsurprising that they offered subsidies to victorious Soul Masters.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was time for Shrek Academy's first match of the day.
This match was a two-person soul duel: the Tiger-Leopard Combination versus the Nine Treasure Purple Lightning Combination!
The Nine Treasure Purple Lightning Combination naturally referred to Ning Rongrong and Xue Na. "Nine Treasure" represented Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Purple Lightning" represented Xue Na's Thunderclap Spirit, named for the purple hue of her thunderbolt.
On Arena One of the Soto Grand Combat Arena, spotlights suddenly blazed, illuminating the central area as bright as day.
The spectator stands were packed, buzzing with noise as waves of cheers and whistles rose and fell, vibrating through eardrums.
The host, Little Spirit Rabbit, dressed in eye-catching attire and holding a sound-amplifying Soul Guiding Device, addressed the crowd in a crisp voice:
"Good evening, audience! I'm your host and referee for Arena One—Little Spirit Rabbit!"
With a flick of her wrist, she drew a round of cheers before shifting the topic.
"Next up is a two-person soul duel between two Silver Combat Soul combinations—both sides are Soul Elder-level powerhouses, promising a spectacle beyond imagination!"
"The first combination is our Tiger-Leopard Combination, also the newest Silver Combat Soul holders in our Soto Soul Duel Arena!"
As she spoke, the passage on one side of the arena opened, and two figures leaped out.
The one on the left was burly, his Martial Soul manifesting as a half-human, half-tiger form.
White, yellow, and purple Soul Rings pulsed around him—clearly a power-attack type Battle Soul Elder.
The one on the right was agile, his body marked with leopard patterns as his Martial Soul emerged, darting swiftly to the center of the arena.
He too had white, yellow, and purple Soul Rings, identifying him as an agility-attack type Battle Soul Elder.
Their entrance drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Listening to the cheers, Little Spirit Rabbit waved for quiet.
Her voice echoed again through the speaker, tinged with mystery:
"And their opponents are also a Silver Combat Soul combination—the Nine Treasure Purple Lightning Combination!"
"Let's give them an equally warm welcome as they take the stage!"
From the opposite passage, Ning Rongrong and Xue Na walked out side by side.
Ning Rongrong wore a cyan dress and smiled gently as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda materialized in her palm.
Yellow, yellow, and purple Soul Rings lit up in sequence, casting a soft glow around her.
Xue Na stood half a step behind Ning Rongrong, clad in a purple combat outfit.
Faint purple lightning crackled around Xue Na as three Soul Rings rose around her.
Discussions from the stands surged like a tide, mixed with scorn and doubt.
"One support and one attacker? This combo is just handing out points in the Silver Combat Soul arena!" a bearded man scoffed, thumping his wine bowl against the railing.
"The Tiger-Leopard Combination is pure power-attack plus agility-attack—every move is solid skill. These girls won't last three rounds!"
Beside him, a scholarly man with glasses adjusted his lenses and remarked leisurely:
"Not necessarily. That girl with the Thunderclap Spirit has a strong aura and steady Soul Power fluctuations."
"One person's strength won't matter!" the bearded man snorted dismissively.
"In a Two-Person Soul Duel, support types are just sitting ducks! That Leopard Soul Elder is so fast—once he circles around and reaches that little girl, the match is over!"
This remark drew agreement from the crowd around them, with many feeling that the Tiger-Leopard duo had victory firmly in hand.
