In the following days, Kai was quite leisurely. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to Cultivate his spirit power, so he just watched Ning Rongrong and the others emerge from Gods Domain with unwilling expressions every day, which was a great source of amusement.
And naturally, Kai's diary stopped updating without any reason.
Qian Renxue, as Kai's loyal reader, had already cursed Kai hundreds of times behind his back.
However, in these past few days, the strength of the new Spirit Hall Team assembled by Kai had significantly improved. Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan all successfully stepped into the Soul King Realm with the help of Gods Domain, and with Bibi Dong's assistance, they all obtained their fifth spirit ring.
Zhu Zhuqing's Cultivation, on the other hand, had been progressing steadily. Coupled with her consumption of two great Immortal Herbs, which had been gradually improving her Physique, her Cultivation speed was much faster than before.
Ning Rongrong also successfully broke through to Level 40 and, with Kai's help, obtained her fourth spirit ring.
The age limit was naturally a ten thousand year spirit ring that had just reached its full potential.
Besides the previous Beautiful Silk Tulip, Kai also gave Ning Rongrong another Immortal Herb to improve her physical condition. This Immortal Herb was merely for auxiliary purposes and did not boost Ning Rongrong's spirit power Level.
However, looking at the long-term benefits, this was definitely a huge advantage for Ning Rongrong.
Finally, there was Dugu Yan, whose changes surprised Kai even more.
It seemed that due to consuming the Immortal Herb, not only had Dugu Yan's spirit power now increased to Level 49, but Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had also undergone a special evolution, transforming from the original Jade Phosphor Serpent into a Martial Soul called Netherworld Serpent Emperor.
Dugu Bo, naturally, was the most surprised person.
Because the quality of the Netherworld Serpent Emperor Martial Soul completely suppressed his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!
From this, it was clear that Dugu Yan's new Netherworld Serpent Emperor Martial Soul could definitely be considered a top-tier Martial Soul.
"Hehe, Holy Son, didn't you say you could re-Cultivate those Immortal Herbs... Then the one you gave Yanyan last time..."
Seeing Dugu Bo's fawning manner, Kai felt helpless but still agreed.
After all, Dugu Bo's increase in strength was also beneficial to him... "It seems you all have improved. Now, it's time for us to go to Heaven Dou Empire and teach those Shrek people a lesson."
Kai walked up to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan.
Ning Rongrong asked, "Kai, will their strength have also increased to a Realm similar to ours by now?"
Kai rolled his eyes.
Shrek was basically done for. Leaving everything else aside, Ma Hongjun alone was mostly crippled.
Having lost the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, he would eventually be killed by his own evil Phoenix fire.
As for Dai Mubai, he was at most Level 40 now. As for Tang San, he wasn't sure, but he probably was still a clown. After all, this time without the Immortal Herbs and without the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, let's see how his Blue Silver Grass would bounce around.
On Kai's side, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had lower spirit power, had both reached Level 43.
However, in the end, Dugu Yan did not go with Kai. After all, her Martial Soul had just evolved, and Dugu Bo also suggested that she stay in Spirit City to continue Cultivating to avoid any unexpected situations.
Kai didn't mind. After greeting Bibi Dong, he prepared to take Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to Heaven Dou Empire.
Bibi Dong still chose to have the inseparable Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo protect Kai at all times, precisely because she was worried about Tang Hao.
After a period of travel, the three arrived at Heaven Dou Empire, but they did not go directly to Heaven Dou City. Instead, they chose Soto City, which was not far away, because according to the plot's development, those people should be competing in the Soul Dueling Arena now.
"That Grandmaster is just a Jianghu swindler, and he's extremely hypocritical!"
Ning Rongrong complained about Grandmaster's various shortcomings all the way.
Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much, she nodded in agreement when Ning Rongrong mentioned crucial points.
"He's just a Jianghu swindler. Don't you believe he'll start yelling again when he sees that both of your fourth spirit rings are ten thousand year spirit rings?"
Kai got a headache whenever Yu Xiaogang was mentioned.
He had never seen such a shameless person.
"But Yu Xiaogang has already lost an arm, so maybe he'll be more well-behaved now?"
Zhu Zhuqing said, "You are still too kind to them. If I had your strength but encountered a group of people who kept causing trouble, I would kill them all."
Kai shrugged and agreed, "You're right, but since I finally have a clown to amuse myself with, why not keep him? He won't be able to stir up any trouble."
"Both of you are now Soul Ancestors. You won't encounter Shrek's members in a direct battle."
Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "Why?"
"With your strength, you can only participate in Level 40 Soul Dueling competitions. Clearly, Shrek doesn't have anyone at Level 40 right now, unless you both hide your spirit power Level, but spirit rings can't be faked."
Kai was a bit helpless: "But it's not a big problem. Let's go and see first."
"Actually, there's another way," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke up.
"Hmm?"
Kai looked over curiously.
"I heard passersby in Soto City mention earlier that there has always been a special type of competition in the Soto City Great Spirit Arena: free-for-all."
Zhu Zhuqing slowly said.
"Free-for-all?" Kai and Ning Rongrong didn't quite understand Zhu Zhuqing's meaning. Zhu Zhuqing explained, "A free-for-all is an extremely cruel arena battle. Twenty people participate in one free-for-all, with a strength requirement of Level 30 to Level 45. The last person standing wins and receives generous rewards."
After listening to Zhu Zhuqing's explanation, Kai was even more speechless.
"This competition discriminates against Soul King powerhouses like me."
Kai sighed. It seemed he was destined not to fight. Even if he participated in a one-on-one match, his opponent would also be a Soul King.
That was simply meaningless.
With his current strength, instantly killing a Soul King was not a problem.
"Hehe, in that case, let Zhuqing and I handle it," Ning Rongrong chuckled.
The three then arrived at the Great Spirit Arena. It was bustling with excited shouts. Kai frowned slightly, seemingly disliking such an environment. Afterward, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both registered for the competition.
As they turned around, they heard a low voice from behind: "Zhu Zhuqing, stop right there!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She slowly turned around, looked at Dai Mubai behind her, and said, "Something wrong?"
"You! Why are you with this guy?" Dai Mubai pointed at Kai, then at Zhu Zhuqing.
