Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 76 The Former Boss Dai, The Current Mu Bai

"That's enough, Bin Erlang!" Cao Jinxuan laughed heartily, and the light and shadow of the Time-Fleeting Clock reappeared behind him. Immediately, his first soul ring lit up, and his first soul skill, Time Freeze Domain, appeared!

The target of a domain-type soul skill is naturally not much stronger than oneself. Since Cao Jinxuan is a twin martial soul possessor, his overall soul power is not much different from that of a three-ring soul master. Dai Huabin is only a newly promoted four-ring soul master. It is impossible for them not to be affected by this domain-type soul skill.

Therefore, apart from the teachers in the stands, only a handful of senior students from the outer academy, including Huo Yuhao, could see through the mystery of Cao Jinxuan's first soul skill.

Frozen in the Time Freeze Domain, Dai Huabin was like a lamb to the slaughter. Cao Jinxuan strolled leisurely to him, his face suddenly contorting into a ferocious expression. He unleashed a flurry of punches on Dai Huabin, causing the parts of Dai Huabin struck to dent visibly.

"One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed..." Cao Jinxuan turned around leisurely, looking quite pleased, and kept muttering about the amount of time he could freeze.

In about ten seconds, Dai Huabin finally recovered from the time-frozen realm. Seeing Cao Jinxuan walking away with his back to him, he was about to give chase when a sharp pain shot through his body.

"Ah..." An unimaginable scream echoed throughout the entire assessment area. Dai Huabin's body was instantly disfigured, flying backward like a broken sack, and crashing heavily off the stage.

Seeing this, Ye Linlin, the only conscious member of Dai Huabin's team, immediately stepped forward to treat him. She was the only one who could restore Dai Huabin's injuries to the greatest extent possible. Despite only being a second-ring Soul Master, Ye Linlin's pure healing abilities surpassed even those of some fifth or sixth-ring healing-type Soul Masters.

They lost. The team hailed as the strongest freshman team actually lost, defeated by a freshman team whose members all only had two rings. It's unbelievable.

They not only possess the strongest healing-type martial soul, but also have a four-ring Soul Master, and even the same martial soul fusion skill as the two original Seven Devils.

Before this, no one believed they would lose, let alone that they would be defeated in the semifinals.

Similarly, this battle was extremely fierce. Apart from Cao Jinxuan, who had consumed a lot of soul power, and Ye Linlin, who was only kicked once, the other four were all injured.

Although Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao received some treatment from the Nine Heart Begonia, it was only a drop in the bucket. Wang Dong was hit by Dai Huabin's Dark Meteor Shower, and the erosion of the dark attribute caused considerable damage to her Goddess of Light Butterfly. Xiao Xiao even had one of her martial souls destroyed, so she wouldn't be able to unleash her full strength in the afternoon's final.

On the other hand, Zhu Lu suffered a backlash from the failed Martial Soul Fusion, with both her mental strength and Martial Soul severely damaged. Dai Huabin had countless broken bones and was on the verge of death. Unless the academy made an exception and intervened to treat the students during the assessment period, the three of them could forget about competing in the afternoon's match.

After all, the academy will not provide medical treatment for injured students during the competition. This is also a test of the freshmen's comprehensive battlefield capabilities. If they go to the battlefield after graduation and find themselves in trouble, they can only rely on themselves and their comrades-in-arms.

"Let's go, there's still the finals this afternoon," Huo Yuhao said to his two companions.

Xie Huanyue and Cui Yajie were still immersed in the fierce battle they had just fought. If one of them had been in their place, they wondered how they would have handled it.

As if understanding what the two were thinking, Huo Yuhao patted them on the shoulder, "Don't worry, they are no match for me."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yajie couldn't help but give him a charmingly disdainful look. She was one of the few people who knew Huo Yuhao's true spiritual power. If Huo Yuhao were willing to use all his trump cards and abilities, sweeping away the two teams working together would naturally be no problem.

Xie Huanyue chuckled, agreeing with Huo Yuhao's words. Even in a one-on-one situation, he was not afraid of Dai Huabin or Cao Jinxuan at all.

The three arrived at the cafeteria and happened to run into Ning Tian's three girls who were ordering food there. If Wang Dong's team did not give up on the finals in the afternoon, they would naturally have to face them head-on.

As for how to break Cao Jinxuan's almost invincible Time Freeze Domain, besides Huo Yuhao forcibly breaking through with his mental strength that surpassed the limits of his peers, Ning Tian's inherited martial soul also has a strategy to deal with it.

"So, are you three confident?" Huo Yuhao smiled at the three of them. They knew him inside and out, almost inside and out.

"Of course! I'm not afraid of a weakened second-ring team!" Wu Feng raised her fist. After three months of transformation, she had unparalleled confidence in her three teammates.

"What about you guys, Yuhao?" Nanmen Yun'er timidly approached Huo Yuhao. "Dai Huabin and the others have the Nine Heart Begonia, the number one healing martial soul in the world. It's hard to guarantee they won't recover to a certain extent before the competition starts this afternoon. They haven't used their martial soul fusion skill today, so there's no cooldown time. If..."

"Good girl." Huo Yuhao doted on Nanmen Yun'er, this delicate girl, and patted her head. "If they dare to come, I'll beat them until they admit defeat."

Feeling Huo Yuhao's doting attitude towards Nanmen Yun'er, Cui Yajie and the other girls couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but it was just a small jealousy. After all, everyone would like to pity a gentle and weak girl like Nanmen Yun'er.

"Yeah, beat them to a pulp!" Xie Huanyue had already started showing off his physique.

In contrast to the relaxed and carefree atmosphere of Huo Yuhao and his six companions, Dai Huabin's team was shrouded in gloom.

Thanks to Ye Linlin's generous use of her soul power to heal him, he and Zhu Lu had regained consciousness. Upon opening their eyes and seeing the pitiful-looking person beside them, they were immediately filled with rage.

"Lulu, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you fully commit to the fusion back then?" As soon as Dai Huabin woke up, he launched into a tirade of scolding, leaving Zhu Luhua, who was lying beside him, pale with fright.

"Zhu Lu must have her own reasons, don't scold her yet..." Ye Linlin advised from the side.

"Then tell her what she means! We might not even make it into the top three now! If we lose the semi-finals, we can only compete with another four-ring team for third place!" Dai Huabin roared in frustration. Once upon a time, he was the pride of the White Tiger lineage, with cultivation talent no less than his elder brother's. After arriving at Shrek Academy, he was initially highly respected for being the top freshman.

However, all of this was shattered in this match. He, a dignified four-ring Soul Master, was utterly humiliated by someone with only a two-ring Body Martial Soul.

Thinking of this, Dai Huabin's eyes turned red. He grabbed Zhu Lu by the collar and demanded, "Tell me! What exactly do you mean? Why didn't you merge with me during the competition?"

Zhu Lu, whose lips trembled as he gripped her tightly, burst into tears. Ye Linlin, standing nearby, could only offer words of comfort. Although she understood Dai Huabin's mindset, she looked down on a man who would only bully his partner after losing.

After a long silence, Zhu Lu finally stammered out the truth about Cao Jinxuan's scheme to attack her heart by using a kiss before the competition.

"Ah—" Dai Huabin roared furiously, his eyes blazing with rage, as if he were about to go mad. He shoved Zhu Lu, who was trying to get closer, away from him. "You bitch! Get away from me, ahhh!"

"Cao Jinxuan, I'll never forgive you!"

Spirit world.

"Mu Bai, you've arrived." Tang San stood on a high ground shrouded in mist, his back to a man. This man had handsome blond hair, a robust build, and looked to be in his thirties. Just by standing there, he exuded an indescribable ancient aura, as majestic as a towering mountain, awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring.

"Little San, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking for me?" Dai Mubai was puzzled, but felt a little resentful. You see, before Tang San learned about his true identity, he always fawned over him, calling him Boss Dai.

Time has passed, and Tang San has become the strongest among the Seven Devils and an enforcer of the God Realm. He no longer respects Tang San as much as before.

"Look at this." Tang San's deep and wise eyes showed no emotion. He raised the golden trident in his hand, and a game scene with Wang Dong's first-person perspective was presented to Dai Mubai.

"This is... a Shrek Academy competition?" Dai Mubai became interested, watching the young men and women fight in pairs, which gave him a feeling of returning to his younger days.

"Could this be my descendant? Not bad, a twelve-year-old Soul Master, even stronger than I was back then!" Dai Mubai was quickly captivated by Dai Huabin's strength and couldn't help but grin. "Little San, have you taken a fancy to this young man of mine? While this kid is of suitable age, it wouldn't be bad for our two families to arrange a marriage between our children. Besides, your Wu Tong..."

Soon, Dai Mubai's smile vanished. He clearly saw the final scene from Tang Wutong's perspective: his outstanding junior unleashing the Dark Black Tiger Meteor Shower, which swept towards the screen, and then nothing more.

"No, Xiao San, this is just a few juniors sparring and fooling around..." Dai Mubai finally understood why Tang San had called him here and immediately spoke up to persuade him.

"Mu Bai, you know I only have one daughter, Xiao Qi. Your descendant is quite capable, isn't he?" Tang San pointed his trident at Dai Mu Bai and sneered, "It's been a long time since we brothers have sparred and fooled around. I won't use the Asura Sword; let's have some real fun!"

"Hey, you can't do this!" Dai Mubai was no match for Tang San, and immediately turned and ran away, completely unlike the demeanor one would expect from a war god.

"Don't run away! Unpredictable storms await!"

"Aaaaaaahh ...
