Chapter 82 I Love Rabbit Meat vs. the Three-Five Combination!
In Soto, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, casting dappled shadows on the bed.
When the sun was high in the sky, Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes. As his consciousness gradually cleared, he suddenly felt a warm breath beside him.
Holy crap!
Tang Chuan instinctively looked down and froze instantly.
He found Xiao Ruier leaning against him, her hands still around his waist, breathing steadily, her face peaceful, and she was fast asleep right next to him.
Tang Chuan suddenly felt a tightness all over his body, and even his breathing slowed down for a beat.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Ruier seemed to sense something as well. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. What came into view was Tang Chuan's face, which was very close to hers.
"Ah!" She was startled and sat up abruptly, her face flushed red. She stammered, "W-how come you're next to me?"
Tang Chuan, equally embarrassed, quickly sat up, avoiding eye contact, and chuckled awkwardly, "I...I was about to ask you that too. Weren't we cultivating last night? How could we..."
The two fell silent, the air thick with tension.
"Maybe it was because the fusion of soul power was too smooth during cultivation that I accidentally fell asleep..." After a moment, Xiao Ruier coughed lightly and muttered in a low voice.
Tang Chuan scratched his head: "So...did you feel uncomfortable anywhere last night?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier's pretty face turned even redder, and she glared at him fiercely.
"I...I meant the state of mind during cultivation!" Tang Chuan waved his hand, quickly explaining, his face full of innocence, "Don't overthink it!"
The two looked at each other, neither daring to say another word, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Xiao Ruier muttered under her breath, "We can't cultivate together at night next time."
"Ah! Why?" Tang Chuan responded softly, then paused, and murmured, "But... I slept quite well last night..."
"What did you say?" Xiao Ruier's beautiful eyes widened, and she shouted.
"N-nothing!" Tang Chuan quickly got up, putting on his shoes as he mumbled, "I'll go outside and see if lunch has been delivered."
Tang Chuan had just reached the door when he heard a soft thumping sound.
He looked up and saw the inn's waiter standing smiling at the door, holding a delicate lunch and a neatly sealed letter.
"Sirs, this is your lunch." The waiter respectfully handed over the tray, then presented the letter, saying, "And this is a letter that just arrived, addressed to you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan raised an eyebrow, casually accepted the lunch and letter, thanked them, and then turned back into the house, gently closing the door behind him.
Inside the room, Xiao Ruier had recovered from her earlier embarrassment and was sitting at the table drinking water. Seeing Tang Chuan enter, she looked up and asked, "Who wrote the letter?"
"It was written by Teacher Qin," Tang Chuan said calmly, glancing at the handwriting on the envelope.
He then opened the envelope, glanced at the contents, and said calmly, "Teacher Qin said they will arrive in Soto City in two days. He told us to arrange our accommodations in advance. He also said that we will both be participating in the upcoming team battle in Soto City."
Xiao Ruier blinked and said with a hint of relief:
"Are they going to arrange for us to compete? How about we go to the Soto City Grand Arena tonight and familiarize ourselves with the place?"
"Sure." Tang Chuan nodded slightly, then said seriously:
"Before Teacher Qin and the others arrive, we can participate in the two-person Soul Battle in Soto City. It'll be good to have some fun and see how strong the Soul Masters here really are."
Xiao Ruier's eyes lit up upon hearing this, seemingly intrigued by the suggestion, and she said, "Great! Let's test our teamwork now. I haven't really been serious on the way here, so maybe we'll run into some interesting opponents."

At this moment, inside Shrek Academy.
In a slightly dilapidated office, the afternoon sun streamed in through the window, illuminating the dusty wooden table and stacks of files.
Flanders stood by the window, his brow furrowed, a hint of helplessness in his expression, and said:
"Xiao Gang, we've been searching for those two Fallen Ones for almost a whole day, and we still haven't found a single clue. I feel... we can't let this drag on any longer."
"We need to hurry up and arrange for the children to participate in the Soul Fighting competition."
"As you know, the academy's finances are already stretched thin. If we don't let them earn some gold soul coins, our little academy probably won't last much longer."
Upon hearing this, the master sitting to the side looked up. He was silent for a moment, but finally nodded slowly and said, "Alright. In that case, let the Soul Battle proceed as scheduled tonight."
"Okay, I'll go arrange it right away." Flander stood up, took a deep breath, as if to temporarily suppress the pressure he was under.
…………
Night falls.
The Soto Grand Arena, located in the bustling center of Soto City, was once again brightly lit.
Spectators flocked from all directions to watch the battle, and luxurious carriages, escorted by entourages, could be seen entering the Great Battle Arena through the VIP passage.
Today is the end of the month, and it also happens to be the weekend, making the Soto Grand Arena the perfect place for Soto residents to relax. Here, you can not only watch exciting spirit battles, but also try your luck with a small bet and follow your favorite spirit master's performance.
As usual, the Shrek Academy group entered the Great Soul Arena wearing masks.
At the same time, Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier also arrived at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena. At this moment, both of them were wearing a hideous ghost mask, making them look somewhat mysterious in the crowd.
"Why...why do we have to wear masks to hide our identities? Is it really necessary?" Xiao Ruier raised her hand and gently touched the mask on her face, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and whispered.
Tang Chuan smiled slightly and replied in a low voice:
"We just clashed with the Shrek Academy people yesterday. This is the Soto Grand Arena, and Shrek Academy is nearby. We can't guarantee we won't run into them. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to conceal our identities for now."
"You've thought of everything." Hearing this, Xiao Ruier nodded thoughtfully.
"It's never a bad thing to be cautious. If all the people from Shrek Academy attack us, we probably won't be a match for them either," Tang Chuan replied calmly, then glanced around before heading towards the designated area for registering for the two-person Soul Battle.
On the other side of the two-player arena.
Xiao Wu stood gracefully beside Tang San, gazing at the registration platform ahead.
Tang San stepped forward, handed over a badge engraved with the words "Sanwu Combination," and said calmly, "Help us register for the duo spirit battle."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The staff member skillfully recorded the information in the logbook, and soon handed them the Soul Number, saying:
"Registration complete, third round of performance tonight."
"Thank you." Tang San smiled slightly, accepted the number, and left side by side with Xiao Wu.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had just left when Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier arrived.
"The registration fee is ten gold soul coins. If you win a match, you will receive a total of ten gold soul coins." The staff collected the fee from Tang Chuan and his companion in a businesslike manner.
Please come up with a name for your group.
Naming?
Tang Chuan and Xiao Ruier exchanged a glance.
Seeing that it was their first time there, the staff explained, "For both 2v2 and team battles, you need to give your team a name so that the arena host can introduce it."
"The name..." Xiao Ruier murmured softly, her eyes darting around before she looked at Tang Chuan and smiled, "You decide."
After a moment of contemplation, Tang Chuan's mind raced with various thoughts. He said in a deep voice, "Your martial soul is the Golden Dragon, while mine is the Blue Silver Grass. The Blue Dragon combination!?"
"But this name is just awful!"
"How about I register a name based on my personal preference?"
"Let's just call it... I love eating rabbit meat!!!"
