As night fell, at the request of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, Xuan Ming reluctantly followed them to the Great Soul Fighting Arena.
As soon as he entered the hall, Xuan Ming felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was not only because of the attention gathered from all directions, but also because there was a statue in the center of the hall of this great fighting arena.
His statue!
Not only that, there are posters with his portraits in prominent locations in the Grand Fighting Spirit Arena!
"What's going on?" Arou, who came to watch the fun, couldn't help but ask.
"The boss behind the Soto Fighting Spirit Arena is a fan of Brother Xuan Ming." Ning Rongrong said.
"Not only that, the mayor of Soto City is also his fan. I heard before that the mayor of Soto City originally planned to build a large statue of Brother Xuan Ming in the center of the city as a landmark building, but due to strong opposition from someone, the plan was scrapped."
Xuan Ming is the most dazzling star in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena of this era!
No one else!
He has fans all over the continent!
Before Xuan Ming obtained the Diamond Fighting Spirit Badge, every match at the Tiandou City Fighting Spirit Arena would gather spectators from all over the continent!
Sometimes a VIP ticket can be sold for tens of thousands of gold soul coins!
Because of this, after Xuan Ming obtained the diamond fighting spirit badge, the seven major families directly gave Xuan Ming 10% of the annual profits of the Tiandou City Fighting Spirit Arena as dividends!
"Ten percent profit? How much is that?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and said, "At least 20 million gold soul coins."
"Twenty million?!" Xiao Wu screamed in shock.
Even if she has no concept of money, these 20 million gold soul coins are an astronomical figure!
"This is just a minimum estimate, and it only applies to the Tiandou City Great Fighting Soul Arena." Ning Rongrong said.
"In addition to this, he also gets a share of the GG endorsement. For example, these statues and posters at the Soto Arena are part of GG's promotion. If you add up all the scattered profits, it should be around 10 million."
Xiao Wu was confused, her eyes wide open: "You mean, even if he does nothing and just lies at home and sleeps, he can still get 30 million gold soul coins every year?"
"Yeah!" Ning Rongrong nodded.
"He alone is equivalent to the total income of the entire Soto City!"
Soto City is also a third-tier city that can be ranked besides the capitals of the two empires and the capitals of the major kingdoms. As the granary of the Barak Kingdom, Soto City's annual total national income is approximately more than 30 million.
And Xuan Ming alone has more than 30 million!
It's pure profit!
"This is too exaggerated." Xiao Wu found it hard to accept for a moment.
She usually spends one or two gold coins, which seems already very extravagant. How could Xuan Ming have 30 million a year?
"This is just the beginning. Don't forget, how old is he?" Ning Rongrong said.
"Besides, he is only at Soul Sect level now. When he reaches Soul Saint level in the future, he will probably be able to earn hundreds of millions of gold soul coins a year."
"Hundreds of millions..." Xiao Wu's brain froze.
"Is that the Golden Mountain?"
"It's still a huge mountain of gold!" Ning Rongrong said.
Xuan Ming's ability to attract money is unprecedentedly terrifying!
Not only does he have absolute strength that crushes his peers, but he also has such a high appearance value!
This perfect combination of strength and appearance gives Xuan Ming extremely terrifying commercial value!
There are countless nobles who are willing to spend a fortune on him, and the luxury goods endorsed by Xuan Ming are regarded as top-notch products in the aristocratic circle and are sought after by noble ladies!
If it weren't for the fact that Xuan Ming doesn't like to show up in public and is basically unwilling to accept any GG endorsements, he would be rich enough to rival a country now!
However, because Xuan Ming doesn't like to show up, this makes him even more mysterious in the eyes of the world!
The commercial value has skyrocketed again!
"Mr. Xuan Ming, welcome to the Soto Grand Fighting Arena. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
While Xiao Wu and the others were talking, the person in charge of the Soto Fighting Spirit Arena, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, walked quickly towards them with several accompanying staff.
This ostentatious action also attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"I am Ao Feng, the director of the Soto Fighting Spirit Arena." The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said with a respectful smile on his face.
"Find me a quiet place." Xuan Ming frowned slightly, a little impatient.
"Okay, please follow me." Manager Ao didn't waste any words and immediately turned around to lead the way.
Xuan Ming looked at Ah Rou, "What about you?"
Ah Rou looked at Flanders and his group not far away, then looked at Xiao Wu, "I won't disturb your class."
"Yeah." Xiao Wu nodded obediently.
After watching Xuan Ming and Arou leave, Xiao Wu and the other two ran towards Shrek's small team.
However, at this time, Tang San and his companions all had green Shrek masks on their faces, which looked a bit funny.
"What kind of style are you guys wearing?" Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, his expression very serious, and said, "You are late."
Xiao Wu looked at the time in the hall and said aggrievedly, "Only five minutes..."
"Being late means being late." Yu Xiaogang's voice became deeper, and there was a hint of severity in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, we were wrong." Xiao Wu curled her lips, obviously dissatisfied.
I was in such a good mood, but she ruined it with just one sentence!
"Ahem, Xiaogang, let's go to class first." Flanders spoke quickly.
Yu Xiaogang frowned, turned around and led Shrek towards a rest area where few people were.
"Xiao Wu, you guys put this on first." Tang San took out three masks of the same style and handed them to Xiao Wu and the other two.
"The teacher said that when you wear this, you can hide your identity and age when fighting."
"Is this necessary?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.
"I don't think Xuan Ming is hiding anything."
"He is different." Ning Rongrong said.
"He has a backer, and that backer is very special, no one wants to mess with him."
"But us, or rather, especially the two of you."
Ning Rongrong pointed at Xiao Wu and Tang San, "At your age, you have such cultivation. If you become famous in the Great Fighting Soul Arena, the Spirit Hall and all the major spirit master sects will definitely come to you."
"When the time comes, will you join? Or not?"
"Can this be forced?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.
"Of course we won't force you, but if you don't join, you probably won't have a good ending." Ning Rongrong said.
"It was not so bad before, but in recent years, the open and covert struggles between the various forces in the soul master world have become more and more intense. Even if it seems to be peaceful today, it is possible to fight to the death tomorrow."
"If they cannot use your talent for their own benefit, it may become their enemy in the future."
"There is a hidden danger right in front of us. Do you think people will choose to let it grow, or eliminate it forever?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, "Dean..."
"The dean's title can naturally help us intercept most of the small fish and shrimp, but the dean cannot stop a big force like the Spirit Hall." Ning Rongrong said.
Xuan Ming dares to be so ostentatious because everyone knows that there is a Poison Douluo behind him!
The threat posed by Poison Douluo is extremely special, and even the Spirit Hall does not dare to provoke him!
After all, that terrifying poisonous group attack, if it really makes people mad, there will be corpses all over the ground in a matter of minutes!
You are awesome as a Titled Douluo? I can leave you with just a Titled Douluo!
