Chapter 168: Chapter 169: Code Name—Peerless, A Brutal Duo
"Please wait a moment!"
After accepting the gold soul coins that Lin Ye handed over, the pink-haired woman behind the counter smiled politely. She then bent down, took out a stack of registration forms, and handed two of them to Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Please fill out your information."
She also passed them each a feathered quill, her tone respectful.
Taking the form, Lin Ye gave one to Zhu Zhuqing and then examined the required fields.
There weren't many—Name, Age, Place of Birth, Martial Soul, and Soul Power Level.
Without hesitation, Lin Ye picked up the quill and quickly filled out the form.

"Sir, Miss, would you like to register under a codename?"
After collecting their completed forms, the pink-haired receptionist smiled and asked.
"A codename?"
Lin Ye blinked in surprise.
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing also seemed caught off guard.
"We can use codenames?" Lin Ye asked.
"Of course," the receptionist explained. "Many soul masters prefer to remain anonymous for various reasons, so they register under a codename. However, if you'd like to use your real name, that is also allowed."
"Then we'll definitely use codenames," Lin Ye said without hesitation.
He had already hidden his face with a mask—why not conceal his name as well?
"Miss, would you also like to use a codename?"
The receptionist turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Yes," Zhu Zhuqing replied softly with a nod.
"Alright, please choose a codename, and I'll register it for you."
Lin Ye pondered for a moment.
He first considered using his martial soul.
But aside from Nine-Spirit Immortal Camellia, he also had Xuanyuan Sword and Devouring Ancestral Dragon…
That was the problem—too many martial souls!
Three martial souls… Three…
Suddenly, inspiration struck.
"I'll go with 'Peerless'!"
Lin Ye lifted his head and declared.
The name Peerless (无双) was fitting. It represented not only his one-of-a-kind soul ring configuration but also the fact that he possessed three martial souls—more than just two.
It was, in every way, a name that suited him.
"Got it. And you, Miss?"
The receptionist turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
After thinking for a while but failing to come up with anything, Zhu Zhuqing simply followed Lin Ye's lead and shortened her martial soul's name.
"I'll be 'Spirit Cat'."
"Understood. Here are your identification badges," the receptionist said as she handed them two iron-rank Soul Fighter badges. "Since you are both Iron Soul Fighters, winning a match will currently earn you only ten gold soul coins. However, as you rank up, your rewards will increase."
She then explained the ranking system of the Great Spirit Arena in detail.

"Lin Ye, Zhuqing, are you both registered?"
As the two stepped away from the counter, Su Ying and Xie Lin approached them eagerly.
"We are," Lin Ye nodded. "But… I'm a support-type soul master. How does a support soul master even participate in a solo fight?"
Though Lin Ye himself wasn't worried—after all, he was an exception among exceptions—he was genuinely curious about how other support-type soul masters managed.
"Don't worry! We've already arranged everything for you!" Su Ying grinned. "Xie Lin and you are both Soul Kings, while Zhuqing and I are both Grand Soul Masters. That means we can form duos!"
"Duo battles?"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up.
So soul masters could team up?
That made sense.
If only solo fights were allowed, then support and food-type soul masters would be at a huge disadvantage.
"Come on, let's register for the duo battles!"
With Xie Lin and Su Ying leading the way, the four of them headed to the duo registration counter.
Lin Ye and Xie Lin formed a team called "Phantom Peerless".
Zhu Zhuqing and Su Ying paired up as "Cherry Spirit Cat".
…Yeah.
The naming process was simple—they just mashed their codenames together.
It was straightforward. Brutally so.
After registering their teams, Zhu Zhuqing and Lin Ye, both masked, inspired Xie Lin and Su Ying to get masks as well.
"Xie Lin, can we use weapons in the battles?"
Lin Ye suddenly asked as they made their way to sign up for their matches.
"Why do you ask?"
Xie Lin looked puzzled.
She didn't think much of it, assuming Lin Ye was just trying to give himself an extra layer of security.
After all, back in Evernight City, he had displayed strength far beyond ordinary support-type soul masters.
If weapons were allowed, he'd certainly be better at protecting himself than most.
"In official spirit master tournaments, weapons aren't allowed," Xie Lin explained. **"But in the Great Spirit Arena? Anything goes—as long as you don't kill anyone."
"That works for me."
Lin Ye nodded inwardly.
That meant he could register under a second identity to participate in solo fights later.
With Xie Lin and Su Ying guiding them, the duo registration process was quickly completed.
Since Lin Ye and Xie Lin were in the Soul King-level category, their match would be held later in the night.
So, for now, they followed Zhu Zhuqing and Su Ying to the waiting area for Grand Soul Master duos.
The waiting room was a large, spacious hall where all participating teams could rest before their matches.
When Lin Ye's group entered, the room was already full.
Everyone present was a soul master waiting for their turn.
Since all four of them wore masks, their arrival immediately drew attention.
However, after a brief glance, most looked away.
After all, spirit battles weren't to be taken lightly.
Every participant was focused on mentally preparing for combat.
Thus, the waiting area remained eerily quiet—not a single soul spoke.
