Chapter 21 Skyfire City, Grand Gathering
Zhu Zhuqing was on her way back to Soto City to find reinforcements from the Spirit Hall when she suddenly heard a huge explosion behind her!
It's the seniors!
Looking back, there seemed to be no more fighting after the explosion. Could it be that the senior's battle had ended?
Zhu Zhuqing went back in the direction she had come from. When she arrived, the battle was indeed over, and she no longer saw Ye Yan and Tang Hao.
"senior?"
Zhu Zhuqing called out several times, but received no response.
Could it be that my senior has abandoned me and left?
How could that be?
She finally managed to get to know her senior a little better.
Suddenly, while Zhu Zhuqing was searching around, she saw several unusual sword marks on a tree, which did not seem to be from a battle.
Above it is an arrow and a flame-like pattern.
Was this left behind by our predecessors?
Zhu Zhuqing was also excited when she saw this. Sure enough, her senior wouldn't just abandon her like this!
Zhu Zhuqing knew that Ye Yan was very fast, so she chased after him as quickly as possible in the direction of Ye Yan's arrow!
"They caught up so quickly!"
Ye Yan and Zhu Zhuqing were sitting on an oxcart loaded with goods. Since it was on the way, Ye Yan got on the oxcart, but soon fell asleep.
As a result, Zhu Zhuqing activated her martial soul's extreme speed to catch up. She had originally prepared herself for a long time to catch up, but unexpectedly, she caught up on the first day.
At that time, Ye Yan was lying on the oxcart, fast asleep, completely drunk.
"These two Soul Masters are quite humorous."
The oxcart driver was a young man in his twenties named Wang Ping, whose eyes were filled with envy as he looked at the two of them.
Unfortunately, the martial soul he awakened was a bull-driving whip, and he didn't even have half a level of soul power.
This means he will never be able to cultivate.
In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters are undoubtedly the most coveted profession, but countless people are stuck at the threshold of talent.
"Are you two going to Skyfire City because of the Skyfire Festival?"
Ye Yan immediately became interested and asked, "What is the Heavenly Fire Festival?"
Wang Ping, who was rushing to catch the carriage, asked in surprise, "Don't you know about the Heavenly Fire Festival?"
He thought that going to Tianhuo City at this time was to attend the Tianhuo Grand Gathering, and then he began to explain about the Tianhuo Grand Gathering.
"The Heavenly Fire Gathering is a triennial event in Heavenly Fire City that lasts for three months! It is said that the Heavenly Fire Gathering was once organized by a Title Douluo from Heavenly Fire City. Although that Title Douluo has passed away, Heavenly Fire City, as his hometown, continues to hold such events."
This is the influence of a Title Douluo; even after death, they can still affect an entire city.
"That's quite interesting. Have you ever heard of that kind of 'fire wine'?"
"Of course! Heavenly Fire Wine is the exclusive wine of the Heavenly Fire Festival. It can only be drunk at the Heavenly Fire Festival, and only those of extraordinary status can drink it, such as powerful Soul Masters, wealthy merchants, or nobles."
Even if an ordinary person like him went to the Heavenly Fire Festival, he would only find a place to set up a stall to make a living. Enjoying the festival was not something he should be thinking about.
"If you two are confident in your abilities, you can participate in the Soul Arena in Skyfire City. Winning in the Skyfire Grand Gathering's Soul Arena will earn you Skyfire Wine!"
He's gathered a lot of information, and it seems like this is a good event. With his strength, wouldn't he be able to easily dominate the Soul Arena?
"Senior, there's a rule in the Soul Arena: you can only fight at the same level, and even if you can't be at the same level, you can't be more than two levels higher."
In other words, if Ye Yan, who is a Title Douluo, participates in the competition, his opponent must be a Title Douluo, or at least a Soul Douluo.
Generally speaking, no Soul Douluo would be so foolish as to actively seek out a Title Douluo to fight, so Ye Yan probably wouldn't even be able to participate.
"What kind of strange rule is this! Aren't there any powerful Soul Masters going to compete?"
Generally speaking, the Soul Arena does not have arenas for those who are higher than Soul Emperors, because such beings would not bother fighting in the Soul Arena.
Those at the Soul Emperor level or above would be honored guests even if they joined any faction, or they could venture alone into the Soul Master world and make a name for themselves.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Yan, but she had never heard of Ye Yan's story before.
The only exception was when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School destroyed its protective formation with a single sword strike some time ago.
Is the senior a person who likes to keep a low profile?
That's not entirely true. One reason is that Ye Yan doesn't like to do meaningless things for the sake of fame, and another reason is that basically only his enemies and friends have seen him in action.
Ye Yan has basically killed all the enemies. How can the dead spread stories about Ye Yan?
As for his friends, they wouldn't go around talking about Ye Yan.
In addition, Ye Yan usually travels alone, hitchhiking on the road by oxcart or getting drunk in unknown taverns.
Therefore, very little is known about him.
"However, besides solo participation, the Soul Arena also offers team participation. You can freely form teams, and opponents are matched based on your rank!"
In other words, even a titled Douluo like Ye Yan can participate in team competitions.
This rule actually has some loopholes. For example, if a weak player joins a high-ranking team, their opponents will also be very strong, and vice versa. A player with high skill but low rank is invincible in this kind of team competition.
However, even the organizers probably didn't expect someone like Ye Yan to have his eye on their Soul Arena.
"Register as soon as you arrive in Skyfire City!"
Seeing Ye Yan's enthusiastic expression, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to interrupt him. In fact, with Ye Yan's strength, all he needed to do was show off his soul rings in Tianhuo City and express his desire to drink Tianhuo wine. It wouldn't be long before people would come to him, and there would be many of them!
Seeing that Ye Yan seemed interested in the Soul Arena, and also wanting to team up with him, Zhu Zhuqing brought up the matter. Teaming up with Ye Yan would allow her to observe his battles up close, which would be very enlightening for her future!
Along the way, Wang Ping shared many interesting stories he knew. With two Soul Masters accompanying him, his safety was greatly guaranteed.
Sometimes Ye Yan would tell stories about his time on the mainland, such as a closed-off sect that only knew how to brew wine, or the story of how he got lost in the snowy mountains and accidentally killed a giant dragon.
Wang Ping didn't know if it was true or not, but the journey wasn't boring, and the protection of two Soul Masters greatly ensured his safety.
Zhu Zhuqing often sat on the oxcart to meditate and cultivate. Occasionally, Ye Yan would give her some pointers when he was interested, which made Wang Ping, who could not cultivate, quite envious.
Finally, after more than a month of travel, the group arrived at Skyfire City.
"Gentlemen, I need to deliver these goods to the Chamber of Commerce, so I'll be leaving now."
Wang Ping said goodbye to the two men and left. Thanks to them, he didn't have to pay any "tolls" along the way, which allowed him to earn a lot more money on this trip.
"Senior, let's go in quickly!"
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had been cultivated to level 29 under Ye Yan's occasional guidance, and she was only one level away from entering the Soul Venerable realm!
