NOVEL WEB Chapter 11: SS - 11
Chapter 11 Dragon VS Tiger
"Su Xiao, Martial Soul: Light Holy Dragon, Level thirty-nine Assault Soul Master. Please enlighten me!"
A milky white halo surrounded Su Xiao, and a thunderous dragon roar echoed. Behind him, the shadow of a Light Holy Dragon appeared, its body enveloped in a radiant golden stream.
Beneath his feet, three purple soul rings rose in slow succession. The surge of his immense soul power swept across the hotel lobby like crashing waves.
"Three... three thousand-year soul rings?" Dai Mubai's face darkened as he took in the sight.
Su Xiao smirked. "What's wrong? Don't want to fight? Then admit defeat and pay up. No need to drag this out."
Gritting his teeth, Dai Mubai lunged forward, tiger palms aimed to seize Su Xiao.
Su Xiao didn't retreat. Observing Dai Mubai's aggressive advance, he activated his first soul skill. Raising his glowing right hand, golden light condensed mid-air, forming five sharp claw marks.
With a powerful swing, the claw marks materialized into a dragon claw and shot toward Dai Mubai.
«First Soul Skill: Light Holy Dragon Claws!»
The massive dragon claw loomed over Dai Mubai, forcing him to retreat. His first soul ring lit up, forming a barrier of pale light to intercept the attack.
«First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!»
As the golden claw struck the barrier, shimmering golden fragments adhered to its surface. Slowly, these fragments penetrated the barrier, reforming into a radiant golden dragon that hurtled toward Dai Mubai.
"The Light Holy Dragon Claw has a penetrating effect. It can bypass barriers," Su Xiao remarked coolly.
The golden dragon surged forward with destructive force. At such close range, Dai Mubai had no choice but to pour all his strength into defending.
"Damn it, your first soul skill alone forces me to go all out!" Dai Mubai cursed.
His second and third soul rings glowed in quick succession. White light condensed in front of him, accompanied by a tiger's deafening roar. A pale light curtain formed, colliding with the golden dragon.
«Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Intense Light Wave!»
The light curtain dimmed under the relentless onslaught of the golden dragon. Despite its diminished strength, the dragon's roar echoed as it spiraled in mid-air, still brimming with residual power.
Dai Mubai's third soul ring released a pale golden aura, enveloping him in a strengthening halo. His muscles bulged as black stripes appeared across his body.
«Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!»
With his enhanced tiger palms now shrouded in a bloody mist, Dai Mubai slashed at the golden dragon. His powerful claws shredded the ferocious construct into fragments.
Seeing his attack neutralized, Su Xiao prepared to activate his second soul skill. Before he could unleash it, Dai Mubai dismissed his martial soul, raising his hand in defeat.
"I give up! That first soul skill of yours already pushed me to my limit. You're a monster."
Dai Mubai exhaled heavily, feigning nonchalance. "Su Xiao, right? When we meet at Shrek, just mention my name if anyone bothers you... though, I doubt anyone would dare."
With a casual wave, Dai Mubai sauntered off, the twins still clinging to him. Before leaving, he tossed Su Xiao a heavy bag of gold coins.
At that moment, Tang San and Xiao Wu emerged from their room, staring at the chaos in the lobby.
"Ah Xiao, did you fight someone?" Tang San asked.
Su Xiao weighed the bag of coins in his hand. "Feeding Xiao Bai every day costs a fortune. I've got to earn extra somehow."
Xiao Wu glanced at Dai Mubai's retreating figure and scoffed. "Not serious at all—two girls at once! What a pervert! Brother Xiao San don't be like that guy!"
"His name is Dai Mubai," Su Xiao replied. "He's a student at Shrek Academy."
