"There's something strange!"
Lu Feng stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful.
In some novels from his previous life, the plot of the protagonist traveling through a secret realm and obtaining an opportunity was already cliché.
In some secret realms, the flow of time was indeed different from the outside world.
"The spiritual energy in that valley is rich; it can be considered a blessed land. Although the Douluo Continent is jokingly called the 'floor of the fantasy genre', it is, after all, a world with extraordinary power."
"The subsequent Douluo books mention that one day in the God Realm is one year on the ground. Could that secret realm be the God Realm?"
"No, that valley was just an ordinary primitive tribe. Doesn't that mean that in the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, everyone had the chance to become a god?"
Lu Feng shook his head, casting these messy thoughts out of his mind.
Fortunately, he had only stayed in the secret realm for one day.
If he had accidentally played around for more than ten days, wouldn't the first Douluo book have ended by the time he came out?
"Wait!"
Lu Feng suddenly thought of something.
"I'm eleven years old now. Doesn't that mean I'll be able to see my brother-in-arms soon!"
"At most half a year, the Shrek Seven Devils will gather in Suotuo City."
"Tsk, tsk, they're all high-quality leeks!"
A glint flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, and he immediately felt full of energy.
"Sigh, I've been absent from work at the Spirit Arena for almost two years. I wonder if my wages will be docked."
Lu Feng walked alone on the mountain road, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.
The spirit hunting market here was a bit remote, adjacent to the Star Dou mountain range.
The small path was covered with rubble and weeds.
Rumors often spread that some soul master had been robbed on the path; some soul master had saved a damsel in distress, only to fall into a 'badger game'.
"Help~!"
As Lu Feng was walking, he suddenly heard a woman's cry for help.
He glanced down towards the foot of the mountain, where the weeds were over half a person tall. Two tall and sturdy soul masters were chasing a woman in white.
"Is that her?"
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, and the [Brass Knuckles] martial soul instantly appeared on his hands.
The fleeing female soul master was precisely Lu Feng's host colleague from the Spirit Arena, Doudou.
At this time, Doudou had her martial soul possessed, and her two soul rings flashed alternately as she ran desperately.
Her martial soul was a White Dove, which had no attack power. Moreover, due to the quality of her martial soul and her level, she did not currently possess the ability to fly.
One tall and one short, two Soul Grandmasters were chasing after her, the distance closing rapidly.
"Swoosh!" The dagger martial soul in the tall, sturdy man's hand shot out, instantly hitting Doudou's calf.
"Bang."
Doudou immediately stumbled and fell heavily to the ground. Her forehead hit a sharp rock, instantly splitting open a large gash.
At this moment, the two sturdy men swaggered over and surrounded her.
Their faces were filled with lewd smiles, and their eyes shone with a disgusting light, like two evil wolves eyeing a little white rabbit.
Doudou's eyes were filled with terror. Her hands scrambled on the ground, supporting her body as she subconsciously tried to move backward.
A few days ago, her soul power had risen to level thirty. Overjoyed, she had found a friend to accompany her to hunt for a soul ring.
Arriving at the spirit hunting market, they had hired two soul master hunters.
Unexpectedly, the other party had been overcome by lust.
Doudou's friend, in order to cover her escape, had been hit by a Soul Grandmaster's soul skill, and his fate was unknown.
And now...
Looking at the two gradually approaching men, tears couldn't help but stream down Doudou's face, her eyes filled with despair.
At this moment, the tall soul master chuckled lewdly, "Hehe, little beauty, keep running. Today, even if you scream your throat raw..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a strong impact hit his head.
"Bang!"
The tall soul master's body was sent flying seven or eight meters. In mid-air, blood continuously spurted from his mouth, like exploding fireworks.
"Boom!" The tall soul master slammed heavily onto the ground, his head lolled to the side, and he was completely silent.
"Big Brother!" the short soul master shouted in terror.
He looked, turned his head to look at Lu Feng, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground. "Hero, I..."
Before the short soul master could finish his sentence, he found that his body had already flown into the air.
Immediately after, a sharp pain came from his chest.
The short soul master looked down and saw that his chest had been completely caved in. A dizzying sensation rushed to his brain. His body fell to the ground, and he could no longer open his eyes.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Feng looked at the pale-faced Doudou and asked with a smile.
His face was stained with some blood, and his smile looked extremely 'amiable'.
"I..." Doudou was about to speak when she suddenly felt her mind go blank and fainted directly.
On the outskirts of the forest, Doudou sat down cross-legged, guiding a purple soul ring to the top of her head.
Beside her, a Lightning Falcon with a body length of over three meters lay fallen.
After about half an hour, Doudou opened her eyes with joy. "Tang Si, I finally have attack power!"
She was slightly agitated, her face flushed, looking like a rosy apple.
"Congratulations," Lu Feng said with a faint smile.
Saving Doudou was purely a coincidence. Hunting a soul ring for her was also just something he did along the way.
Lu Feng had originally been worrying about how to get back to work at the Spirit Arena.
Now that he had an acquaintance to introduce him, maybe his 'overdue' wages for two years could even be paid back.
"Tang Si, thank you," Doudou walked over to Lu Feng and said seriously.
If she hadn't met Tang Si, she didn't dare to imagine what her fate would have been.
"It's alright. It just so happens that I was also returning to Suotuo City for some business. Perhaps it's fate between us, hahaha," Lu Feng said casually.
"Tang Si, why did you suddenly leave back then? You didn't even tell me. I even asked my uncle about you."
"Your uncle is?"
"Oh, my uncle is one of the managers of the Spirit Arena."
"What a coincidence. There might be something I need to trouble your uncle with. It's like this, my wages have been overdue by the Spirit Arena for two years. Although I haven't been working these two years..."
Night quietly fell upon Suotuo City. The Spirit Arena shone like a bright pearl in the night.
For the first time ever, Lu Feng worked a night shift.
He stood quietly in the center of the Spirit Arena. The brilliant lights poured down like a waterfall, striking his body.
A well-fitting black suit accentuated his slender and tall figure.
To liven up the atmosphere, Lu Feng had specially dyed his hair blond. Coupled with a pair of sunglasses, his whole person looked unrestrained.
On his chest, a silver badge shone with light.
Doudou's uncle was a manager at the Spirit Arena. To express his gratitude to Lu Feng, he had not only repaid Lu Feng's 'two years of overdue' wages but had also promoted Lu Feng to a Silver Badge host.
"Heaven did not give birth to me, Li Batian, but the path of souls was like a long night! Congratulations to contestant Li Batian for his first consecutive win in the individual matches. A new star of the Spirit Arena is rising!"
"Wow, it's that familiar feeling!" a commotion immediately broke out in the audience.
"Look quickly, that host with the professional commentary and pleasant voice is back!"
On the spirit fighting stage, Li Batian smiled awkwardly.
It was this host again!
The last time Li Batian had finished his match, because of the other's commentary, he had been laughed at by his companions for several months.
On the stage, Lu Feng held the microphone. "The next contestant is the Evil-Eyed White Tiger! And his opponent!!!"
Halfway through, Lu Feng threw the microphone down from the stage, and it landed steadily in Doudou's hands.
"Crack, crack." Lu Feng clasped his hands together and flexed his wrists.
"It's happening! It's happening! The host is warming up again!"
A loud cheer erupted from the audience.
Doudou walked onto the spirit fighting stage. Looking at Lu Feng in the center of the ring, her eyes were full of stars.
"Third Spirit Arena, Soul Elder one-on-one, second match. Contestant Tang Si, codenamed Sett, versus contestant Evil-Eyed White Tiger!"
