Chapter 16 Isn't this cheating?
The Soul Fighting Zone is located in the northwest corner of the Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department.
Shrek Academy does not prohibit fights between students, but they must generally be resolved in the Soul Fighting Zone.
The Soul Fighting Zone has dedicated instructors who serve as referees for the battles. They are responsible for determining the winner, protecting both students, and providing treatment, but all of these services are chargeable.
In Wang Dong'er's eyes, the entire Shrek Academy was like a small prison, which explained why it was in such a terrible state.
As Wang Dong'er and her group headed towards the Soul Battle Zone, most of the onlookers who had been watching earlier also chose to go with them.
Watching the Soul Fighting matches in the Soul Fighting Zone is also a form of entertainment for Shrek Academy students.
To hold a Soul Battle, both sides need to pay ten Gold Soul Coins each as a fee for using the venue.
Here, not only are there no restrictions on hands-on activities, but you can also earn academic credits, which can be added to your grade-level exams.
Starting from the fourth grade, you need to have Battle Spirit Credits to advance further.
There is no limit to the number of people who can watch the matches in the Soul Fighting Zone, but you have to pay a fee. Each person has to pay one Silver Soul Coin to buy a ticket.
Although Wang Dong'er knew about the Soul Fighting Zone, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao did not. On the way there, Tang Ya and Bei Bei introduced it to them.
After listening to the introduction of the Soul Fighting Zone, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "It feels like Shrek Academy charges fees everywhere."
Tang Ya smiled and said, "After all, the academy's expenses are not small, so naturally they have to find ways to collect more money. That's what they call 'the wool comes from the sheep'... oh wait, no..."
"Xiaoya, just shut up." Beibei was exasperated. Shrek Academy was, in a way, his home.
"Actually, Shrek Academy's taxes are quite high. After all, Shrek Academy is the richest academy on the continent, and it can even be said to be richer than a country."
For some reason, upon hearing Tang Ya's introduction, Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered what Wang Dong'er had told her before, and her expression became somewhat inscrutable.
Arriving at the Soul Fighting Area and sitting down in the audience seats, looking at the empty arena, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask Tang Ya, "Senior Tang Ya, where are Dong'er and that Xu Sanshi?"
"The Soul Battle Zone is only open after school each day and closes before midnight. All students participating in the Soul Battle must register and pay in advance. Originally, if Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi went to the Soul Battle, given their fame, the academy would broadcast it through the Soul Guidance loudspeakers in the dormitory area to attract more people to watch."
Tang Ya sighed, "Of the ticket money paid by the spectators, the academy will take half of it, and the rest will be distributed to the winner of the soul battle. If the two soul battlers are not of the same grade, the academy student from the higher grade who loses will have to give the student from the lower grade an extra ten gold soul coins."
"Beibei and Xu Sanshi had already earned quite a bit through their Soul Fighting abilities..."
"Huh?" Hearing Tang Ya say that, Xiao Xiao suddenly remembered that they seemed to know each other, and said with some surprise, "Aren't you guys...?"
Beibei looked at Tang Ya helplessly. Sometimes he really felt that Tang Ya was doing it on purpose. Her mouth was just too talkative, and she could say anything.
Tang Ya didn't notice Bei Bei's helpless look and instead looked at Huo Yuhao, "What a pity! If Bei Bei had fought Xu Sanshi just now, he could have taught Xu Sanshi a lesson with that move from Huo Yuhao!"
"Me?" Huo Yuhao was taken aback, remembering the four soul skills that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had given him.
Tang Ya's meaning was clear: if Bei Bei were to compete, she would ask him to provide some off-field assistance.
Commonly known as cheating.
Tang Ya's reminder sparked a sudden inspiration in Huo Yuhao.
He could help Wang Dong'er in the same way!
Although Wang Dong'er stood up for Xiao Xiao, she was, after all, also a part of the matter...
Xiao Xiao was completely confused. "Senior Tang Ya, what are you talking about? Does Huo Yuhao have anything special about him? What do you mean, 'that move'?"
"Hey, actually it's just..." Tang Ya was about to say something, but then stopped herself and looked at Huo Yuhao.
"It's alright, Teacher Xiaoya." Huo Yuhao smiled and explained, "It's just the effect of my soul skill. It's hard to explain in words, you'll understand once you experience it."
Then, Xiao Xiao saw a brand new world.
"This is..." Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Are you a support-type Soul Master? This Soul Skill is amazing!"
"My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, a mental-type martial soul. This is my first soul skill, Spirit Detection Sharing," Huo Yuhao said. "The current distance is exactly the limit. When Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi are fighting in spirit battle later, I can try to use this soul skill on Wang Dong'er."
"But isn't this cheating?" Xiao Xiao hesitated, but still voiced her thoughts.
"Hey," Tang Ya waved her hand, "This is just teaching that bastard Xu Sanshi a lesson, how can it be considered cheating?"
"Perfect timing, Xiao Yuhao. Wang Dong'er is a freshman after all. Even if she only uses the soul skill of her first soul ring, Xu Sanshi is still far superior to her. With your assistance, our chances of winning will be much greater."
"Will I really win? I'll give it a try," Huo Yuhao said.
"Don't worry, we'll win." Tang Ya smiled. "I can't wait to see Xu Sanshi's disgusted face after he's defeated by Wang Dong'er."
"However, Xu Sanshi's martial soul is the Xuanming Turtle, which, like Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, is a top-tier martial soul with exceptionally strong defense. I wonder what kind of martial soul Wang Dong'er has, and whether she can break through his defense."
"Is that so?" Huo Yuhao pondered. It seemed that when it came time to teach Xu Sanshi a lesson—or, as Teacher Xiaoya would say, when they were about to cheat—he should focus on observing Xu Sanshi's weaknesses.
Inside the Soul Fighting Restroom, Wang Dong'er and Xu Sanshi stood on either side, neither saying a word.
"Hey little vixen, why don't you just admit defeat? Otherwise, it won't look good if I beat you to tears later," Xu Sanshi suddenly said.
"My name is Wang Dong'er. You'd better watch your mouth." Wang Dong'er looked at her coldly.
"Fine, fine, you asked for it. Don't blame me for being too harsh if you get beaten to tears later."
"You're from the Xuanming Sect, aren't you?" Wang Dong'er suddenly asked.
"How did you know?" Xu Sanshi asked instinctively, but it was too late to change his mind.
"You can smell that cowardly, bastardly attitude from far away."
"Heh, it seems Tang Ya told you my identity." Xu Sanshi gave his own guess, laughing angrily, "You dare call me a bastard? You'll be crying later."
"Let's make a bet then," Wang Dong'er said, staring at Xu Sanshi. "We'll bet on the Mysterious Water Pill."
"Mysterious Water Pill? Sure. But you need to find a stake of equal value first." Xu Sanshi did not refuse.
In the original text, it was Bei Bei who took the initiative to ask Tang Ya to find Huo Yuhao to cheat.
[Rewinding to before the match began, the hand gestures Bei Bei made to Tang Ya were a signal for her to tell Huo Yuhao to help. It was only after Tang Ya informed him of the range of Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection that Bei Bei launched an attack on Xu Sanshi when there was clearly no opportunity.]
