Chapter 27: Chapter 28: Xiao Wu Falls Again, Tang San Goes Berserk
Xiao Wu nodded, her expression resolute.
She wasn't convinced!
Dai Mubai told her not to use charm skills, and she just wasn't supposed to listen? If she backed down now, how could she hold her head high in the future?
"Second Soul Skill—Charm!"
A pink light burst out from Xiao Wu's body as she cast a playful glance at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai: "…"
This?
This is what you call charm?
"Why won't you people ever listen?"
Dai Mubai sighed softly, and the vertical eye on his forehead suddenly emitted a brilliant golden light. In that moment, his gaze was like that of a supreme god looking down upon mortals.
Behind him, the phantom of the White Tiger Sacred King let out a thunderous roar, as though it had been provoked.
The White Tiger governed slaughter, as well as exorcising evil and warding off disasters. Among the five elements, it represented metal, and its offensive power was unparalleled.
While Dai Mubai's original Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul hadn't reached that level, the White Tiger Sacred King already exhibited some of the traits of the divine beast itself.
The golden divine light shot straight towards Xiao Wu, who had activated her charm skill.
"Ah—!"
Xiao Wu didn't even have time to react. She screamed in pain, spitting out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.
Pfft!
Dai Mubai shook his head, a bit exasperated as he said,
"I told you not to use charm skills on me, didn't I? You just wouldn't listen."
Currently, Dai Mubai couldn't actively trigger this skill.
However, if anyone used a spiritual attack against him, the White Tiger Sacred King would instinctively counterattack.
At the moment, it was an incredibly powerful passive ability.
The White Tiger Sacred King was no ordinary martial soul—it was practically a god-level martial soul.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San froze. When he finally snapped back to his senses, he roared in anger and rushed to Xiao Wu's side.
This time, Xiao Wu's injuries were far more severe than when she had been backlashed while attacking Zhao Wuji.
Back then, Zhao Wuji hadn't actively counterattacked—Xiao Wu was only hurt by the recoil of her own spiritual power.
But this was different. Dai Mubai had not only rebounded Xiao Wu's spiritual attack, but also struck her with the golden light from his vertical eye!
This attack was no ordinary move!
"Dai Mubai!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he turned to glare at Dai Mubai, murderous intent filling his gaze.
Dai Mubai: "…"
Oh?
Didn't you just call me "Boss Dai"? Now I'm back to being Dai Mubai again?
Fine. Dai Mubai didn't mind. After all, he had already warned them not to use charm skills.
They didn't listen, insisted on digging their own graves, and now they were blaming him?
"Tang San! Dai Mubai warned you both beforehand! What is that look on your face? Are you trying to kill him?"
Flender shouted angrily at Tang San.
He hadn't expected Dai Mubai's martial soul evolution to be this terrifying.
That golden divine light was clearly a passive skill of the White Tiger Sacred King.
Still, Flender's words fell on deaf ears. Tang San ignored him, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Dai Mubai.
Why didn't Dai Mubai say earlier that he had such a skill? Why didn't he control it or suppress it?
"Dai Mubai, you're courting death!"
Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes red as he carefully laid Xiao Wu down before walking back towards Dai Mubai.
Anyone who dares harm Xiao Wu will be his enemy—someone he will kill without hesitation!
Even Zhao Wuji, a Soul Sage-level powerhouse, had been forced to release his Martial Soul True Body because of him.
Dai Mubai?
He's just a Rank-40 quasi-Soul Ancestor without a fourth soul ring.
Compared to a Soul Sage, he's more than thirty levels weaker!
"Xiao Wu's fall was my mistake in judgment, but I will definitely avenge her!"
Tang San's voice was icy as he glared at Dai Mubai, his hands already brushing over his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges.
Countless concealed weapons appeared in his grasp.
Tang San had always believed that his martial soul wasn't his true power—his hidden weapons were!
Activating his Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San carefully watched Dai Mubai's every movement.
Dai Mubai's speed was too fast for him to ignore.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai's lips curled into a faint sneer.
Oh?
"Courting death," am I?
Double standards much?
Very well. If I don't teach you a proper lesson today, my name isn't Dai Mubai!
Amid everyone's confused gazes, Dai Mubai raised his right leg and kicked lightly in Tang San's direction.
A golden crescent-shaped energy wave shot towards Tang San.
"W-What is that?!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed in shock, his small eyes wide with disbelief.
There had been no fluctuation of soul rings! Dai Mubai had merely kicked the air, yet he'd unleashed such a powerful attack!
"Another self-created soul skill…"
Flender's face grew solemn as he muttered to himself.
Could it be that Dai Mubai wasn't lying when he said he had been training in seclusion for the past three years?
Otherwise, how could he explain these self-created soul skills?
Self-created skills weren't something that could be mastered overnight. They required enormous amounts of time, research, and practice.
"Dai Mubai, I misjudged you before!"
Flender sighed.
Just based on these two self-created soul skills, Dai Mubai had already become the most hardworking and talented student in Shrek Academy's history.
To remain silent for three years, only to amaze the world with a single feat—such determination and patience were admirable.
Back in the field, Tang San's pupils contracted sharply. Without time to think, he activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to narrowly dodge Dai Mubai's attack.
At the same time, he hurled his hidden weapons at Dai Mubai.
What shocked Tang San was that Dai Mubai suddenly closed his eyes!
What?
Is he looking down on my hidden weapons?
I, Tang San, defeated a Soul Sage-level powerhouse with these very weapons!
Is Dai Mubai so arrogant that he's not even going to dodge?
The next moment, Tang San was stunned.
With his eyes closed, Dai Mubai swayed lightly on the spot, his body moving like a leaf fluttering in the wind.
To Tang San's disbelief, all of his hidden weapons missed their mark!
Dai Mubai was like a sheet of paper, floating effortlessly, dodging every single attack.
On the sidelines, Zhu Zhuqing finally exhaled in relief. She had been more nervous than anyone, but she hadn't shouted out to distract Dai Mubai.
Shouting during a fight—"Be careful, Mubai!" or the like—would only distract him and serve no real purpose.
Dai Mubai opened his eyes once more. With his Paper Art combined with the intuitive abilities of his second martial soul, it was like having Observation Haki.
"Is this all you've got? If so, then it's time for you to fall."
As Dai Mubai's words fell, his figure vanished instantly.
The next moment, he reappeared to Tang San's left, his tiger palm striking towards him.
Tang San's expression shifted drastically. The speed was too fast!
Even with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he didn't have time to dodge.
With no other choice, Tang San's hands turned jade-like as he activated Mysterious Jade Hands to take the strike head-on…
