Chapter 32: Speak with strength
It was dusk when Long Chen and Dugu Bo arrived at Soto City.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this bustling city, covering it with a golden gauze.
Soto City is located within the Kingdom of Barak. As an important commercial center of the Kingdom of Barak, it not only has a superior geographical location, but also serves as a transportation hub connecting the north and south of the kingdom. Its prosperity is self-evident.
On both sides of the street, there are a variety of shops, from high-end soul master equipment stores to ordinary grocery stores, from fragrant taverns to bustling entertainment venues, all showing the vitality and diversity of this city.
Long Chen and Dugu Bo walked side by side on the lively streets, feeling the rich atmosphere of life around them.
“It’s really lively here.”
Long Chen smiled and looked around.
Dugubo nodded slightly.
"You have been in the mountains for more than a year and there is no one to talk to except me, an old man. Are you exhausted?"
"It's true, haha~"
"Let's go have something to eat first, and then go to the spirit fighting arena."
The two found a restaurant on the street.
After dinner, Long Chen and Dugu Bo walked through the night towards the Soto Grand Soul Fighting Arena.
As they gradually approached, a towering and spectacular building came into view.
That is the symbol of Soto City - Soto Great Spirit Fighting Arena.
The Soul Fighting Arena is located in the heart of the city, covering a vast area. Its appearance adopts the unique architectural style of the Kingdom of Barak, which combines solidity and beauty.
The tall buildings glowed with a faint golden light in the night, adding a bit of luxury and solemnity.
The entrance to the Soul Fighting Field is brightly lit.
Colorful lights intertwine to create a dreamy and warm atmosphere.
The crowd was bustling and lively.
There are nobles in gorgeous costumes and civilians in simple costumes. Their faces are all filled with anticipation and enthusiasm for the spirit fighting competition.
The Soto Spirit Fighting Arena is a relatively large spirit fighting arena.
Its interior is divided into one main spirit fighting arena and twenty-four sub-spirit fighting arenas, which can accommodate 60,000 spectators at the same time.
Long Chen knew the rules of the spirit fighting arena, which were roughly divided into three categories.
One is to play games, learn from each other, and it is forbidden to kill people with cruel hands.
One is a life-and-death fight, where you don't care about your opponent's life or death.
There is also a gambling battle, in which both sides send an equal number of soul masters to compete, and the winner will receive everything in the bet.
There are also three forms of competition: one-on-one, two-on-two and group battle.
Long Chen and Dugu Bo entered the fighting spirit arena and went directly to the ticket purchase area at the service desk.
He wanted to know if those members of the Tiandou Royal Academy were here.
"Hello, will the Royal Fighter Team have a game tonight?"
A young female staff member at the front desk glanced at Long Chen and replied casually:
"The Imperial Fighting Team has a match, but their match is in the central main fighting arena, and there are no VIP rooms."
Dugu Bo asked impatiently:
"Little girl, what do you mean?"
The lady at the front desk glanced at Dugu Bo and was immediately frightened and hurriedly explained:
"Dear guest, I'm sorry. There are no open-air stands in the main fighting arena of our center. They are all VIP rooms. There are a total of twelve high-end VIP rooms and 320 ordinary VIP rooms, all of which have been booked."
"With so many VIP rooms, is there not one empty one?"
"There are really none. The high-end VIP rooms have their owners, and the ordinary VIP rooms are also booked at the beginning of every year."
Dugu Bo's expression changed.
"Little girl, I don't want to embarrass you, so I'll call your supervisor over."
"Okay, please wait."
After the girl left, Long Chen said with a smile: "Brother Bo, are you trying to force yourself?"
Dugu Bo also smiled.
"Xiao Chen, remember, in this world, in the final analysis, you have to use your strength to speak. With strength, you have everything. Those bullshit nobles are nothing in my eyes. I, Dugu Bo, have made countless enemies in my life, and I don't care. Offend a few more.”
"You are still willful."
Long Chen gave Dugu Bo a thumbs up.
No matter what, he had to enter the central fighting arena and couldn't let Shrek's group succeed.
After a while, the girl brought a middle-aged man.
The first time the middle-aged man saw Dugu Bo, he felt the powerful aura on Dugu Bo's body and knew that this person was not an ordinary person.
"Dear distinguished guest, hello. I am Director Ao of this fighting spirit arena. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"My request is very simple. I will watch the games in the center's main fighting arena these days. An ordinary VIP room will do. Don't worry, I won't give you a penny less."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Director Ao smiled and said:
"Our front desk staff should have explained to you that our VIP rooms have already been booked."
"Then I don't care. You can find a way to make room for me. I'm just here to watch the game and have no other intentions."
Director Ao felt a little angry. As the director of the Soto Grand Fighting Arena, he was by no means an ordinary person and had a wide network of contacts.
But Dugu Bo's aura was too strong, and he knew very well that this was not someone he could afford to offend.
Therefore, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked tentatively:
"Dear Mr. VIP, who are you?"
"My surname is Dugu, and my title is: Poison."
Dugu Bo didn't bother to talk to him and directly gave his name.
After hearing this, Manager Ao was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
There are only a handful of titled Douluo in the Tiandou Empire, and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is definitely a terrifying existence.
He has a weird personality, likes to be a loner, kills countless people, and never takes anyone seriously.
Manager Ao would naturally not dare to offend such a ruthless person.
"It turns out to be Senior Poison Douluo Dugu. It's an honor for us that you are willing to come to Soto Soul Fighting Arena. We apologize for our poor hospitality just now."
"It's okay. Are there any VIP rooms now?"
"Yes! Yes! Please wait a moment, I will arrange it for you right away."
After Manager Ao left, Long Chen and Dugu Bo looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Bo, you are really good."
"Xiaochen, this is the benefit of strength, you will understand it later."
After a while, Manager Ao returned.
"Senior Dugu, the VIP room has been arranged for you, please come with me."
Later, Manager Ao personally took Dugu Bo and Long Chen to a VIP room and declined Dugu Bo's ticket money.
The main fighting spirit arena in the center is extremely quiet.
There are no bleachers here, it is entirely composed of sealed boxes.
People in the box can clearly see everything on the ring through the crystal glass.
But the situation in the box cannot be seen clearly from the outside.
The VIP visitors who come here have deep backgrounds and often place big bets.
In order to avoid conflicts over gambling, no one is willing to reveal their identity here.
What they want is a low-key, luxurious and high-end feeling.
