Chapter 37: Two-on-Two Spirit Fighting, the Warm Heart Nest Combination

"You may follow us, but let's get this straight: you must listen to my commands in everything. Can you do that?"

If the rules weren't set beforehand, given Ning Rongrong's temperament, there was no telling what kind of trouble she might cause.

Ning Rongrong nodded like a chick pecking at rice, agreeing to everything.

"Fine. We will be competing at the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena for this period; do you want to come along?" Wu Qi asked.

Having Ning Rongrong by his side could, to a certain extent, block some of his fanatical female fans.

One had to know, the gazes of those female fans were like wolves and tigers; he truly couldn't handle them on his own.

Ning Rongrong first nodded in agreement, then asked in confusion, "Brother Wu Qi, aren't you here to carry out the Crown Prince's mission? Could it be that your mission is just to gain experience?"

"You could say that." Wu Qi replied, then stood up and walked forward, "Let's go eat first. We still have to participate in Spirit Fighting tonight; going on an empty stomach won't do."

Ning Rongrong's Spirit Fighting Badge was processed. As an Auxiliary System Soul Master, she could not participate in one-on-one Spirit Fighting. To raise her badge level, she could only participate in two-on-two or team Spirit Fighting.

For Ning Rongrong, raising her Spirit Fighting Badge level was not part of her training mission, so Wu Qi did not force her to participate in Spirit Fighting immediately.

"Brother Wu Qi, can Rongrong team up with you?" Ning Rongrong blinked, looking forward to the answer she wanted.

Ning Rongrong and Changkong were both Great Spirit Masters; if they were to team up, the two of them would be the most suitable.

But given the relationship between them, Wu Qi abandoned this idea.

For him, with the help of his external soul bone, his speed bonus was already sufficient, but his attack power was still lacking.

Ning Rongrong's First Soul Skill could provide a 30% Strength Amplification, which was a huge help to him.

Thinking of this, he agreed to Ning Rongrong's request.

As for the team name, he didn't care; Ning Rongrong improvised and ended up choosing a name full of girlish charm—Warm Heart Nest.

Two-on-two Spirit Fighting at the Great Spirit Arena was generally scheduled after the hour of Xu. Wu Qi and Changkong participated in one-on-one Spirit Fighting first.

Currently, the two of them did not have many consecutive wins in one-on-one Spirit Fighting, and their opponents were very average in strength, so they didn't consume much soul power.

An hour and a half later, when the broadcast of the Spirit Arena sounded, Wu Qi remained indifferent.

Ning Rongrong poked his arm, "Brother Wu Qi, the broadcast announced our team name. Are we going to participate in the match?"

"Hmm?" Wu Qi was confused.

Listening to Ning Rongrong's explanation, he finally realized that Warm Heart Nest was their team name.

This name was so embarrassing that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

With the match imminent, it was too late to change the team name. Right now, in order not to lose points for nothing, Wu Qi could only bite the bullet and step onto the ring.

In the spectator stands.

The audience was discussing this.

"Warm Heart Nest? This sounds like a girls' group, and young ones at that."

"Since when did such talented girls appear in the Soul Elder matches?"

The two-on-two team of Wu Qi and Ning Rongrong had just been formed, and those "fanatical fans" were unaware of it, so no one in the audience recognized him.

Furthermore, Wu Qi's reputation only garnered attention among some noble ladies, and his current winning streak was not enough to attract more fans.

Fortunately so, otherwise it would have been a huge embarrassment.

On the ring, the two brothers of the Wild Bear Combination saw Wu Qi and the other walk onto the ring and revealed impudent smiles.

The two brothers had thought it was some old man deliberately coming up with such a ridiculous name to hide his strength.

They didn't expect that Wu Qi and his partner were truly young people who hadn't seen much of the world.

Xiong Er of the Wild Bear Combination laughed loudly, "Grandpa's crotch is freezing cold; little sister, come warm it up for Grandpa?"

"You!" Ning Rongrong was furious and pointed at the opponent, cursing.

At the same time, there were boos from the audience.

With such a childish name and the way the two looked, was there any suspense in this match?

Conversely, the Wild Bear Combination had already achieved a six-match winning streak in two-on-two Spirit Fighting.

It was foreseeable that after this match ended, regardless of the result, it would definitely be talked about by people.

Wu Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Let your strength do the talking!"

Xiong Da sneered, "As you wish!"

Xiong Er, the younger brother, scoffed, "If you surrender now, you might be spared from physical pain."

"At your age as a Soul Elder and a Great Spirit Master, you must be disciples of some big family. If we hurt you, I hope your elders won't blame us."

These words did not mean he was truly afraid of their background; it was more about trying to provoke Wu Qi and Ning Rongrong, making them full of flaws in the upcoming match.

Wu Qi understood his intention and ignored him.

Ning Rongrong, however, was furious, "If you have the guts, say that again! Don't force me to tear your mouth apart!"

Xiong Er said cheekily, "Yo, I'm so scared."

Below the ring, the referee didn't think highly of Wu Qi and his partner either.

Seeing that they were young, to avoid excessive verbal abuse, he immediately announced the start of the match.

According to the pre-match plan, Ning Rongrong stood at the edge of the ring.

Bringing an Auxiliary System Soul Master into a two-on-two Spirit Fighting match was already a disadvantageous matchup. If Wu Qi had to constantly worry about Ning Rongrong's safety, the match would be impossible to fight.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong standing at the edge of the ring, ready to use exiting the ring as a means of self-preservation, was a good choice.

"Brother Wu Qi, tear that guy's mouth apart."

Ning Rongrong said fiercely, then manifested her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, and two yellow soul rings appeared at her feet.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" Xiong Da had extraordinary insight and immediately recognized the opponent's martial soul.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong proudly held her head high.

Xiong Da sneered in his heart.

When disciples of great families enter the Great Spirit Arena for experience, as long as they do not die on the arena stage (excluding life-and-death battles), even if they are injured, the families behind them will not pursue the matter.

The goal of the Wild Bear Combination is simply to win the Spirit Fighting; Ning Rongrong is an Auxiliary System Soul Master, so they only need to take care of Wu Qi, and they will automatically win the match.

"Bringing an Auxiliary System Soul Master to a two-on-two Spirit Fighting, how arrogant!"

Xiong Da gave a cold snort and released his martial soul together with Xiong Er.

The martial souls of the two brothers are both Wild Bear, with soul power levels of thirty-seven and thirty-two, respectively.

Xiong Da does not have the optimal Soul Ring configuration, possessing three yellow Soul Rings; Xiong Er, however, has yellow, yellow, and purple.

Clearly, these two brothers share a deep bond; the elder brother stepped onto the path of a Spirit Master first, and after attaining a certain level of cultivation, he began to shelter his younger brother from the wind and rain.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi's gaze sharpened.

He had already found the best tactic to defeat his opponents.

As the referee struck the gong, the match officially began!

"Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, Seven Treasures Named: one is Power, two is Speed!"

Ning Rongrong's task is only one—to continuously provide buffs for Wu Qi.

Feeling his speed and strength increase by thirty percent, Wu Qi could not help but sigh in his heart.

For an ordinary Support System martial soul, if the first and second soul skills provide a boost exceeding fifteen percent, they are already considered top-tier soul skills.

Yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect martial soul's percentage boost increases as the realm rises; they are truly heaven's chosen!
