Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Mu Yunyu said, "That\'s not necessary. The public security in Jiali City is still assured. For a few Array Plates, it\'s unlikely that God rank strongs would make a move against them. Those below deity level really might not be able to handle them. At the very least, Bingji has the strength to face a Ninth Stage opponent. He\'s only eighteen and has such strength. It should be no problem for him to break through to God rank in the future. You should be proud to have taught such a disciple. They were right about what they just said, battling to the death like this will definitely speed up their growth."

Guan Longjiang gave a wry smile and said, "Our academy is staking at least half its foundation on these few children! If something happens..."

"There won\'t be an \'if.\'", Mu Yunyu retorted impatiently, "Wait for their victorious return. We are about to have noble disciples. Besides, once they become nobles, there is even the possibility that they can enter Jiali Academy to study. Have you thought about that? Apart from Bingji, the ages of the others all match up well."

Guan Longjiang felt a stir in his heart. Mu Yunyu was right! Jiali Academy only accepted nobles, with certain requirements for age and talent. If they acquired their nobility through the Grand Animal Fighting Arena and their ages were suitable, even as humans, they would certainly be the kind of students that Jiali Academy would like to enroll.

While Guan Longjiang was feeling anxious, Tang San and his four companions had already entered Jiali City, heading toward the Grand Animal Fighting Arena as if they knew the place well.

Instead of going to register first, they located a hotel nearby the Grand Animal Fighting Arena and checked in.

Guan Longjiang factored in the outside circumstances, and so did Tang San. Thus, they chose a fairly decent hotel, one with hundreds of rooms, which was considered one of the larger hotels in Jiali City. Of course, the price for accommodation was quite steep.

It cost fifty Monster Coins for one night.

The five of them rented three rooms. Tang San and Du Bai shared one, Gu Li and Wu Bingji shared another, and the only girl naturally got her own room.

"Isn\'t that too expensive?" Wu Bingji frowned slightly after they settled into the hotel and put down their belongings.

The price was indeed high, and as human vassals, they were interrogated for a long time when checking in. A hotel of this caliber rarely had human vassals as guests.

Tang San said, "As long as it\'s worth the money." Although expensive, the rooms here were indeed nice—in fact, the best Tang San had stayed in since he came to this world.

Each room was sixty square meters, with a private bathroom and various toiletries. The room had fresh and dry air, a soft and comfortable bed, and a huge window that provided a view outside, not far from the Grand Animal Fighting Arena.

Now, they were not as strapped for cash as when they first arrived. Through selling Array Plates, even though Tang San did not know exactly how much they had made, he still had a general idea of the amount. What was staying at a hotel in comparison?

"Big brother, as long as we keep winning, the team battle rewards are very substantial. It\'s said that for the first victory, each person gets an Elemental Coin. Thereafter, the earnings from each win are cumulative. Win more than five rounds, and we can even share in part of the profits from ticket sales and betting," Du Bai calculated with his fingers.

He was always obsessed with money, so he was particularly sensitive to financial matters and had calculated everything beforehand.

As long as they won one round, five Elemental Coins would be theirs, and then the expenses here would be nothing.

Wu Bingji said, "Let\'s just stay here then, make the best of it. Should we go register now?"

Tang San nodded, "Let\'s go."

The five of them left the hotel and, after a five-minute walk, arrived again at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena with familiarity. They had been to the registration place before, so it was an easy route for them this time.

Inside the registration area, it was still crowded, with a queue to register. However, upon entering, Tang San and his group didn\'t line up at the end but made their way to the side of the counter.

"Don\'t you know how to queue?" A thick arm blocked their way; it belonged to an Elephant Demon. It was a brawny Elephant Demon, standing at five meters tall, and among the registering monsters, it was one of the largest in size.

"We don\'t need to line up," Tang San said indifferently.

"Not need to? What crap are you dreaming of? Get lost, you petty vassal." While saying this, the Elephant Demon\'s huge hand reached out to slap Tang San.

Wu Bingji stepped forward, blocking in front of Tang San, and slapped out with his right hand as well. When the disproportionately sized hands were about to collide, Wu Bingji\'s palm merely skimmed over the Elephant Demon\'s hand before swiftly dodging to the side. He had no intention of competing in strength with the Elephant Demon.

But the arm that had been aimed for suddenly stiffened, its surface instantly covered in a layer of white frost. The entire arm seemed to have been frozen.

The Elephant Demon was taken aback. Tang San and the four others appeared very young, and it naturally did not think much of young human vassals coming to register for the Beast Fight. It had not expected the power of the ice element released by Wu Bingji to be so formidable.

"No fighting allowed." Just then, a deep voice sounded. Behind the registration counter, a burly figure stood up.

It was about two and a half meters tall, covered in black fur, with a pair of terrifying blood-red eyes. The powerful presence immediately filled the entire registration area with a menacing aura of killing intent. Bloodthirsty Devil Ape Clan. This clan was an extremely terrifying existence.

Tang San said, "It was the one that struck first, blocking us from registering."

"Register in line. Don\'t you know that?" the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape said coldly.

Tang San said, "According to the rules, teams can register first for team battles, isn\'t that right?"

"Team battle?" Both the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape and the Elephant Demon were taken aback.

The Elephant Demon\'s arm had already regained its mobility and it suddenly burst out laughing, "Alright then! Go register! You can\'t back out now. Looking for death, aren\'t you? Go ahead, go on." It stepped aside to clear the way as it spoke.

Indeed, according to the rules of the Grand Animal Fighting Arena, teams registering for team battles did not need to queue and could register first.

The monsters around them all burst out laughing. A few tiny human vassals actually wanted to register for a team battle—was this not seeking death? It was simply like delivering themselves on a platter. In their eyes, Tang San and the four others were already dead.

Faced with the intimidating aura of the crowd of monsters around them, Du Bai\'s face had turned somewhat pale, Cheng Zicheng\'s eyes blazed with anger, Gu Li clenched his fists, and Wu Bingji\'s face remained as cold as ice. Only Tang San walked up to the counter as if nothing was the matter.

"We want to register for a five-person team battle," Tang San told the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape.

The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape threw a form at him, "Fill out the form to register. After registering, you must participate in at least three matches and cannot withdraw. Otherwise, there will be no mercy, understand? That\'s the rule."

"Understood." Tang San took the form and began to fill it out.

When he got to the part where he had to fill in the name of his team, he paused for a moment as if recalling something, and finally wrote down a name.

Even Wu Bingji and the others did not quite understand the significance of the name he wrote, but when Tang San wrote this name, his eyes underwent a strange change.

"Shrek squad? Xiao Tang, what does that mean?" Du Bai couldn\'t help but ask.

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "It means invincible, an ancient word."

Yes, in his heart, Shrek was synonymous with invincible.
