Lan Fuozi was just about to charge toward Tang Wulin again when a figure descended from above.

"Stop! No fighting in the Bright City Sports Stadium! If you have differences to settle, then go elsewhere to settle them!" An elderly man in a Spirit Pagoda uniform had positioned himself between the two of them, extending a hand toward each of them with a wary look in his eyes.

Both of them were very powerful, so if they insisted on fighting here, he would most likely struggle to stop them.

Tang Wulin withdrew his arm and raised his chin toward Lan Fuozi before departing.

Lan Fuozi gritted her teeth as she looked on at his departing figure, then stomped a foot down onto the ground with a resounding boom before also leaving.

Her voice then rang out beside Tang Wulin's ears. "Just you wait!"

Tang Wulin merely raised his index finger above his head and wagged it in a derisive manner.

Their clash had naturally been captured by the surveillance cameras within the venue, and the footage was quickly being broadcasted by all of the major media outlets to further fan the flames of the event's popularity.

Apparently, Lan Fuozi had once entered the Myriad Beast Plane together with Yu Longyue, and the two of them had somehow become enemies following that experience.

Lan Fuozi was at the Spirit Domain realm and was regarded as the most powerful seed in the fourth group, but neither he nor Yu Longyue were able to gain the upper hand during their clash.

All types of news stories and articles were being released about the incident, and many people were lamenting the fact that Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi weren't in the same group, which meant that no clash would take place between them in the event unless new rules were introduced for the final 10.

Of course, if they wanted to progress to the final 10, then they had to emerge from their respective groups first and with three Titled Douluos, including Qiangu Zhangting, in Tang Wulin's group, it seemed that this task was going to be more difficult for him.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he departed from the stadium.

The round-robin stage was about to commence, there were some ticket resellers that had begun to appear in Bright City leading up to the matches. With all of the effort the Spirit Pagoda was pouring into the event's promotion, ticket prices remained extremely high.

At the same time, the Spirit Pagoda received news that the day of the round-robin stage's commencement would also be the day that the Myriad Beast Plane was opened. All Soul Masters who wanted to enter the Myriad Beast Plane would have to pay a certain fee, which was obviously a very steep price, but most of the young high-grade Soul Masters in Bright City would definitely have enough disposable income to splurge on something like this.

Each round of the round-robin stage would take five days to complete, so all participants would have five days of rest between rounds. As such, even they would be able to enter the Myriad Beast Plane during their rest days in order to enhance their soul spirits to put on a greater showing in the rest of the event.

The Myriad Beast Plane was scheduled to be opened the next day, and all of the slots for the first day had already been reserved. According to the rules of the Myriad Beast Plane, only 200 people could enter it per day, and the entry fee was 5,000,000 federal credits per person, so 200 people equated to 1,000,000,000 federal credits per day.

Generally speaking, around 10,000,000 federal credits were required to craft a black mecha, so the Spirit Pagoda was essentially earning 100 black mechas per day from the Myriad Beast Plane alone!

Even the several thousand participants who had registered for the event alone would be enough to ensure that all slots were filled for the 45 days of the round-robin stage, so the Spirit Pagoda was definitely going to be making a massive profit.

"Well done, Zhangting; your entire plan is perfect!" Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't be more pleased with his grandson. Qiangu Zhangting was the one who had proposed and planned this joust for a spouse event, and everything had gone according to plan.

Currently, the Myriad Beast Plane was extremely popular, and the Spirit Pagoda kept 10 entry slots up its sleeve every day to be auctioned to those who needed them and had enough money to purchase them.

Of course, those slots were going to cost far more than 5,000,000 federal credits, and this idea had been proposed by Qiangu Zhangting as well.

Under these circumstances, the Myriad Beast Plane would earn an astronomical sum of profit for the Spirit Pagoda within the next two months.

Qiangu Zhangting smiled, and replied, "You can't shower me with all the accolades; Na'er's contribution is integral to the plan's success as well! If she hadn't perfected the Myriad Beast Plane, we wouldn't have been able to open it to the general public."

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded in response. "Na'er's contribution is indeed vital. You two are a match made in heaven, and if you can emerge as first in your group, there will be a lot less opposition for you to inherit my position as chairman. Once you take over from me, I'm sure the two of you will be able to elevate the Spirit Pagoda to even greater heights."

Gu Yuena smiled, and said, "Rest assured, Chairman; Zhangting is definitely going to be a very wise and astute leader for the Spirit Pagoda."

Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled, "Can you finally call me grandfather once this event ends? I've been waiting to hear that from you for a very long time."

Gu Yuena lowered her head as a blush appeared on her face.

An entranced look appeared in Qiangu Zhangting's eyes as he looked at her, and he said, "Grandfather, you can hear her call you that as many times as you want after I marry her."

Qiangu Dongfeng burst into elated laughter upon hearing this. "By the way, Na'er, make sure to keep an eye on the Myriad Beast Plane so that nothing goes wrong. I'm sure everyone is aware that the entry fee of 5,000,000 federal credits that we're charging isn't actually very high. Our main objective is to maintain the plane's stability; we have to give them some benefits, but not too much, and only then will they keep coming back for more."

"Rest assured, Chairman; I'll make sure to maintain a good balance. I've already made an agreement with the two rulers of that plane, and this is a mutually beneficial exchange for both sides. They require the energy that we provide them with to maintain the plane, so in comparison, they need us more than we need them, which is why I'm confident they wouldn't dare to break the agreement."

"Good. Those two planar rulers aren't easy to deal with. If four-word battle armor hadn't been invented, I would be very reluctant to collaborate with them. Make sure to take the grand elder with you when you go to meet them again."

"I'll be sure to look after myself," Gu Yuena assured with a smile.

"Alright, I won't take up any more of your alone time; I'm going back to cultivate now," Qiangu Dongfeng said as he rose to his feet before vanishing into a plume of smoke and mist.

Following Qiangu Dongfeng's departure, an excited look appeared on Qiangu Zhangting's face. "We really did it! Nana, there's already a massive line outside the entrance of our Myriad Beast Plane! I'm sure there would be just as many people lining up even if we were to raise the entry fee to 10,000,000."

Gu Yuena smiled, and said, "There's no rush; we're keeping the price low so that more people can experience the benefits of the Myriad Beast Plane. Only then will they become more hooked on the Myriad Beast Plane."

Qiangu Zhangting said, "When that time comes, they'll become more and more dependent on our Spirit Pagoda. I wonder what they'll think if they knew that we could take away the enhancements their soul spirits experience in the Myriad Beast Plane using the power of the plane. The more they benefit from the Myriad Beast Plane, the more leverage we'll have against them. In around 10 years, we'll be able to control the entire Soul Master world! When that time comes, no one will dare to oppose us as we can significantly dent their powers if we please!"
