Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 25 Beating up Dai Mubai

As Lang Lei walked towards him step by step, his aura growing stronger, Dai Mubai felt a chill run down his spine, cold sweat broke out, and he pushed away the twin sisters in his arms.

He just encountered a level 29 genius, how could another one appear now? Are there really that many geniuses these days?

Dai Mubai was very puzzled.

"You two, you can't fight here!" The receptionist was almost in tears and quickly ran back to call the manager.

"No need, we'll split the loss." Lang Lei looked coldly at Dai Mubai opposite him. "Is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem! Let's fight now! Who's afraid of who!" Dai Mubai shouted to bolster his courage.

"I hope you'll be this energetic in a bit." Lang Lei beckoned. "Weakling with blond hair, I'll let you have a go. Don't say I didn't give you a chance to fight."

Dai Mubai dared not be careless and directly activated his Martial Soul.

"Evil-eyed White Tiger, possess me!"

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Overwhelmed with confidence after unleashing two soul skills, Dai Mubai rushed in front of Lang Lei and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

"That's it?" Lang Lei easily caught Dai Mubai's fist and tilted his head.

With a gentle twist of the hand—

"Click—"

"ah--!"

With a cracking sound of bones breaking, Dai Mubai couldn't help but yell out.

"It's over in one move..." Lang Lei gripped Dai Mubai's fist tightly.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang..."

He punched Dai Mubai in the stomach, and after Dai Mubai was stunned, his fists rained down on Dai Mubai's face and chest like a storm.

Lang Lei slightly distracted himself to control his strength, lest he kill the other party before he could calm down. As Lang Lei released Dai Mubai's hand, his next punch slammed Dai Mubai into the opposite wall, where he landed next to the twin sisters that Dai Mubai had been holding.

"You haven't left yet?" Lang Lei asked in a calm tone.

"Let's go now!"

Seeing that Dai Mubai had provoked someone he couldn't handle, the two left without hesitation, not even glancing at Dai Mubai on the ground.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Splitting Light Wave!"

"Heh, still quite energetic. Looks like I can hit even harder." Lang Lei chuckled, sidestepping the opponent's energy attack with ease. "But you're quite good at sneak attacks, too bad they don't work on me."

Lang Lei was certainly not going to be hurt by the light wave, but he wasn't stupid. Why would he take the attack head-on when he could just dodge it by turning to the side?

"No, don't come any closer!" Dai Mubai sat on the ground without any regard for his image, using both hands and feet to back away until he was pressed against the wall again.

"Just now... wasn't it this mouth that was rude?" Lang Lei cracked his knuckles and slapped Dai Mubai across the face.

The immense force sent Dai Mubai flying.

"Hey, that skin's pretty thick. Looks like I can whip it a few more times." Lang Lei walked over step by step again.

With each step, the not-so-loud footsteps seemed to strike Dai Mubai's heart like a heavy blow.

"Snapped!"

Another slap landed, this time hitting the other side directly, making the other person's swollen face symmetrical.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Dai Mubai mumbled, "I'm sorry, I ...

Although it was a request, it was clear that he wanted to use his status as a prince to put pressure on Lang Lei. Dai Mubai thought that no matter how powerful the other party was, he wouldn't dare to go against the royal family of a country.

"Hehe, where's the prince~" Lang Lei slapped him again, sending him flying once more. "I'm really scared~"

"How dare you look at her like that! Even if you're the grandson of a Title Douluo, I'll teach you a lesson!" Lang Lei said viciously.

In his past life, he wasn't exactly a good person. He also experienced time travel, was abandoned by his biological parents, adopted as a tool, and then abandoned again in a desperate situation because he was useless...

Lang Lei is no longer that hot-blooded, righteous young man...

"It was those eyes that gave you that look just now, wasn't it?" Lang Lei asked again.

"No, I didn't!" Dai Mubai quickly and excitedly denied.

But obviously, it didn't work.

"Pfft—"

"ah--!"

"That scream was quite clear." Lang Lei casually shook his hand, looking at Dai Mubai who was rolling on the ground, clutching his eyes. "Looks like he still has quite a bit of energy left."

"Stand up!"

Dai Mubai stood up shakily, his whole body aching uncontrollably, and his martial spirit had been forced back.

"Weren't you quite arrogant just now?" Lang Lei approached Dai Mubai step by step again. "How come you couldn't even withstand a single move?"

"The next blow will cripple your leg, watch out." Lang Lei seemed to be reminding Dai Mubai, causing Dai Mubai to tremble and quickly activate his Martial Soul Possession again.

"Bang!"

"Thump!"

"ah--!"

But how could Dai Mubai, who couldn't even see, possibly stop Lang Lei? With a sweep of his leg, Dai Mubai tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"This makes me look like some kind of evil villain~" Lang Lei stepped on Dai Mubai's chest, leaned down and whispered, "How about... we finish this quickly?"

"Please, please, stop disturbing my home! My little brat dares to do this!" Dai Mubai begged desperately, his body trembling violently with fear.

"Don't cause trouble in your next life... A Soul Master who doesn't dare to cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master?" Lang Lei chuckled. "Just bullying the weak and fearing the strong, why make your twisted logic sound so nice?"

"Brother Lang Lei..."

Just then, a soft voice rang out.

Lang Lei was stunned for a moment, then kicked Dai Mubai hard between the legs, crippling him and sending him flying out of the hotel.

Let's just say they were lucky this time, but surviving under those circumstances...

Maybe it's just good luck?

"Brother Lang Lei..." Gretchen came over and hugged Lang Lei.

"Brother Lang Lei looks very angry right now, just like Uncle Qian Jie..." Gretsch said softly, "It's not good for your health. Don't be angry, okay?"

"Okay, brother, don't be angry." Lang Lei squatted down and gently stroked Gretchen's little head, the trace of hostility in his eyes fading away.

No matter what, Greta won't leave him, will she?

"Gresch isn't a child anymore..."

"Yes, I know..." Lang Lei picked Gretchen up again, "but I still want to be loved~"

"Little Gretchen has come to me, so at the very least, I must ensure that she doesn't suffer any injustice, after all, she's such a kind person..." Lang Lei said softly.

"Yes, I love Lang Lei the most!" Gretchen hugged Lang Lei's neck.

At this moment, the hotel manager walked over.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience." The other party's ability to read the wind was also first-rate. "You don't need to pay any compensation this time. According to Dai Shao's, no, Dai Mubai's, habit, we will collect the expenses from his academy later."

"How much does this hotel cost?" Lang Lei's question startled the hotel manager.

"this……"

"I'll buy it. Here's 100 million gold soul coins. Use the extra for renovations." Lang Lei tossed over a black card; he had quite a few of these gold soul coin cards on hand.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the contract right now." The manager was overjoyed. With such a powerful Soul Master protecting him, any troublemakers would have to think twice. He owned this hotel anyway, so there was no need for all that trouble.

Within minutes, Lang Lei and the other party had signed the contract.

"From now on, no one else is allowed to live in the room I'm currently in. Keep it for me." Lang Lei put away the contract, land deed, and property certificate, and gave the order in an unquestionable manner.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Lang Lei nodded and carried Gretchen up the stairs.
