Douluo: Two brothers in douluo

"How is that possible?!"

The last time during the entrance exam, they had seen Dai Mubai's martial soul.

Back then, it didn't have this kind of overwhelming presence!

Now, after Dai Mubai activated his martial soul, his body grew larger, standing around 2.1 to 2.2 meters tall.

His clothes exploded, revealing perfectly sculpted muscles that looked like they were carved out of marble…

Thankfully, his pants were specially made—ahem!

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu all blushed slightly.

Dai Mubai's physique was simply too perfect, and coupled with that unruly, carefree face of his, it was even more striking.

"Brother San, Dai Mubai looks a little intimidating!"

Xiao Wu said, her expression serious.

"He's got some strength."

Tang San nodded with the same serious expression, though inwardly he wasn't all that concerned.

Just earlier, Flender had mentioned that Dai Mubai reached Rank 30 when he was thirteen.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had both reached Rank 30 at the age of twelve.

If they were the same age, Dai Mubai would definitely not be their opponent.

Right now, he had merely cultivated for a few more years than they had.

"Are you two ready?"

Dai Mubai was itching for action. He had yet to put the Rasengan or the Six Styles to the test in real combat.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were perfect sparring partners for this experiment.

As for Zhu Zhuqing? Come on, she was his wife… how could he hit his wife?

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu paused.

What did he mean, "Are you ready?"

They had already released their martial souls—of course they were ready!

Dai Mubai's unnecessary question made it seem as though they were weak.

The two nodded, exchanged a glance, and silently decided to teach Dai Mubai a lesson.

"We're ready! Bring it on, Dai Mubai!"

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Dai Mubai's figure disappeared from her line of sight. The next moment, she was sent flying backward!

Boom!

Xiao Wu landed heavily on the ground.

Dai Mubai's figure reappeared where Xiao Wu had been standing, shaking his head slightly.

"Weak. Absolutely weak!"

Tang San's eyes widened in shock—he had seen what happened!

Dai Mubai hadn't used any soul skill. His speed was simply too fast!

So fast that it was as if he had teleported right beside Xiao Wu and kicked her away in an instant.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were both stunned.

Since when did Dai Mubai become this strong?

Had all those times Dai Mubai beat them up in the past… been him just holding back and playing around?

The thought made both of them shudder, their necks shrinking as they trembled.

Boss… truly lives up to his title!

Fortunately, we never offended Boss before. And from now on, we'll make sure to stay on his good side!

"Xiao Wu!"

Tang San finally reacted and rushed over to Xiao Wu in a panic.

"Don't worry. I held back."

Dai Mubai's calm voice rang out. Xiao Wu, still sitting on the ground, shook her head and said to Tang San,

"Brother San, I'm fine. Boss Dai didn't hurt me."

Xiao Wu's use of "Boss Dai" left Dai Mubai momentarily stunned.

Oh, now that they realize they can't win, they're calling me Boss Dai?

Didn't you two keep calling me "Dai Mubai" earlier?

I actually liked you better when you were rebellious!

"As long as you're okay, that's what matters."

Tang San finally let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Wu was fine—good.

This Dai Mubai doesn't seem like a bad guy after all. If he's willing to go easy on Xiao Wu, he's worthy of being called Boss Dai.

Tang San decided that the previous unpleasantness between them was water under the bridge.

Of course, if Dai Mubai knew what Tang San was thinking, he probably wouldn't have held back earlier.

Tang San and Xiao Wu got back to their feet, now far more cautious.

That attack had been so fast that they hadn't even seen it coming.

Xiao Wu rubbed her back—there was still a bit of pain from the impact—but she didn't want to worry Tang San, so she insisted she was fine.

"Boss Dai, what did you just use? I didn't sense any soul ring fluctuations, so it wasn't a soul skill…"

Before Tang San could finish his question, everyone's expression changed dramatically.

Is Tang San serious?

How could he just ask about something like that?

For soul masters, their techniques and skills were their secrets. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't even explain the effects of their soul skills to others.

After all, most soul masters only had up to eight soul skills (excluding Martial Soul True Body). If an enemy understood those skills, they could be easily countered.

And self-created soul skills were even more closely guarded secrets!

Some self-created skills could even be passed down through families.

A few didn't even require a specific martial soul—if someone knew how to train in them, they could replicate the technique.

Because of this, self-created skills were among the most tightly guarded secrets of all!

Flender's face darkened. He was just about to stop the match and give Tang San a lecture—though not a physical one, since he didn't dare—when Dai Mubai waved his hand dismissively.

"It's called Shave—a self-created soul skill."

Dai Mubai said this with a slight smile, looking directly at Tang San.

Then, he stopped speaking.

...

Tang San: "…"

What the hell? You're just going to say the name and leave it at that?

Come on, explain its function, its effects, and how to train in it!

We're classmates—why not share it?

Tang San was shouting in his heart.

He had noticed that Dai Mubai's self-created skill was even faster than his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track in a straight line.

Naturally, Tang San was very interested.

After all, this was the first self-created soul skill he had seen in the Douluo Dalu world!

But why was Dai Mubai being so tight-lipped? Did he really need Tang San to ask explicitly?

"The test continues!"

Flender said coldly, his face still dark.

Does Tang San really not understand that some things just shouldn't be shared so easily?

The fact that Dai Mubai had even revealed the name of his self-created soul skill was already generous enough!

Flender's words were effective. Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and nodded.

Xiao Wu's second spirit ring began to glow—she was preparing to use her charm ability on Dai Mubai. Tang San planned to use that window of opportunity to launch a sneak attack—no, a "frontal assault."

"You really shouldn't try to use charm abilities on me."

Dai Mubai said "kindly," as if giving them a friendly reminder.

Xiao Wu and Tang San paused.

Why couldn't they use charm abilities on Dai Mubai?

They didn't believe him.

The reason Xiao Wu's charm had failed against Zhao Wuji before was the vast difference in soul power.

But Dai Mubai was only ten ranks above Xiao Wu. This kind of difference shouldn't cause a backlash. If Dai Mubai were affected, Xiao Wu could control him for at least two seconds.

Two seconds would be enough for Tang San to defeat him!

"Brother San?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San hesitantly. Tang San thought for a moment, then nodded at her…
