Dueling on the Arena
Translated by Rara of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Not long after, news about the challenge between You XiaoMo and Chai Jun spread.

You XiaoMo was at his height of ‘popularity’ while Chai Jun was the third young master of the Chai Clan. The grudge between them had long spread among the freshman, but no one would have thought that the fight would break out without any prior warning, and on the arena to boot. This matter was not small at all, thereon, people started rushing over. And this story not only spread among Block Two, but even Block One and other daoshi heard about it.

This type of duel was very common, especially the duels between low ranking and mid ranking mages. Usually, it was not something worth seeing. You XiaoMo had become the subject of everyone’s attention inside the academy. When people heard one of them was You XiaoMo, they couldn’t help but dash their way there.

In less than half an hour, the inside and outside of the arena was filled with people, leaving a very horrifying scene.

You XiaoMo never would have thought that his duel with Chai Jun would gather this much attention. As the result, when he saw the massive amount of spectators, he was dumbstruck.

Before You XiaoMo stepped onto the arena, BaiLi XiaoYu, who was frowning like he couldn’t solve something, suddenly made an ‘aha’ sound and then pulled You XiaoMo’s hand.

You XiaoMo was puzzled and turned back to look, he nearly got dragged down from the stairs, “What?”

BaiLi XiaoYu was so agitated he couldn’t finish his sentence, and until You XiaoMo couldn’t tolerate it anymore and chopped BaiLi XiaoYu’s head. BaiLi XiaoYu suddenly gasped as he spoke in one swoop, “I know why Chai Jun dared to accept your challenge.”

“Why?” Was there any secret in it?

“Chai Jun have a level 7 demon beast, moreover, the Chai Clan has a skill training book for the soul, that is why he dared to accept the challenge.” BaiLi XiaoYu promptly said. Since Chai Jun didn’t call out his contracted demon beast often, and with his head gone in the heat at the moment, BaiLi XiaoYu couldn’t remember it at that time.

Most high ranking mages used their soul power to attack, because when one reached level 7, the soul would start to transform and develop the power to go on the offensive. That was why they didn’t really need to have a skill training book to learn how to attack using their soul, but skill training was still an indispensable thing for a high rank mage.

However, for mages below level 7, since their souls hadn’t transformed yet, it held no attack power, and the skill training techniques became crucial for them. Therefore, under the special influence of skill training, the soul power could go on the offensive.

The Chai Clan’s foundation was not as good as the other three clans or the Dao Xin Academy, but they could still afford a skill training book. Not to mention, Chai Jun was not from a branch family, he was the third son of the master of the main branch of the Chai Clan, so he was qualified to undertake the skill training.

As for his contract beast, using the Chai Clan’s position, it was not weird for Chai Jun to have one. So, just like BaiLi XiaoYu said, the reason he could easily accept the duel so bluntly was because he had enough power to.

Chai Jun having a contract beast was something You XiaoMo already had in expectation, but what he was curious about was what kind of shape this skill training for soul was. If he could, You XiaoMo felt that he might want to take advantage of this situation and learn about it a bit.
