Douluo Continent: Rebirth of Ma Hongjun, Phoenix of Ultimate Light

Chapter 46: Boss Dai has become Junior Dai!

Dai Mubai thought this attack would at least blast his opponent back, but when the white light dissipated, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Oscar stood still, not moving an inch.

His school uniform sleeves were torn, revealing a faint golden sheen on his exposed arms.

That layer of luster blocked most of the damage from the White Tiger's fierce light wave, and his body withstood the rest.

His arm was covered in charred marks, but he didn't even flinch.

"Your White Tiger Blazing Light Wave is very powerful; if your defense isn't strong enough, you won't be able to withstand even one hit."

Oscar made a comment and then continued charging forward.

Dai Mubai instinctively raised his hand to block.

boom!

A tremendous force came from his arms, as if he had been slapped by a real bear.

His body slid back several steps, leaving two white marks on the bluestone slabs with his feet.

My arms were numb, not from being burned by flames, but from being numbed by pure force.

What kind of superhuman strength is this?

It's even more terrifying than Ma Hongjun's fire attack!?

Dai Mubai cursed inwardly.

Is this fucking food?

This is definitely not a food-type Soul Master; this is a power-type Battle Soul Master disguised as a food-type Soul Master.

"I have a super strong gut!"

Oscar recited the incantation again and ate another sausage.

His strength surged again, and he charged forward with another punch.

boom! boom! boom!

Punch after punch, each one powerful and heavy.

Dai Mubai was forced to retreat repeatedly, and the light shield of the White Tiger Protective Barrier flickered violently under the bombardment of punch after punch.

His defenses are not bad, but if this continues, they will be breached sooner or later.

This can't go on.

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, his second soul ring lit up, and the White Tiger Blazing Light Wave condensed in his palm.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking Oscar's punch head-on, and blasted the beam of light out as his body leaned back.

The beam of light struck Oscar squarely in the chest.

This time he used all his strength.

Oscar was blasted back five or six steps, his school uniform was torn to shreds at the chest, revealing the muscles underneath.

There was a charred mark on the skin, but it was only a superficial injury and did not affect mobility.

He looked down at the charred marks on his chest and patted the dust off.

"That really hurt."

Dai Mubai was panting heavily, feeling like he was dreaming.

He attacked a food-type Soul Master, but after a long time, the opponent seemed completely unaffected.

"Where did you get your strength and defense?"

Dai Mubai asked.

"Second Soul Skill, Power Sausage."

Oscar pulled another one out of his pocket and shook it.

"The Mighty Vajra Bear's spirit ring, 750 years old. Consuming it will cause a surge in both strength and defense. Combined with my external..."

""

He almost blurted out the words "external soul bone," but swallowed them back down after his tongue swirled in his mouth.

Dai Mubai did not fight again.

It's not that we don't want to fight, it's that we can't continue fighting.

His arms were scalded and swollen from Ma Hongjun's flames, his shoulders were burning and aching from the piercing light, and the impact of Oscar's punches had left his hands numb. Every part of his body ached.

But he wasn't upset.

To be precise, he had never felt so good before.

During his time in the Star Luo Empire, he had two kinds of opponents.

One type is the weaker opponent, so fighting them is pointless, and even if you win, you don't feel happy.

Another type is someone stronger than him, such as his older brother Davis, who is completely helpless in a fight and feels frustrated when he loses.

But today is different.

Ma Hongjun is three years younger than him, and his soul power is one level higher.

Oscar is a year younger than him, and they are both in level 30.

Both of them possessed innate full soul power; they were monsters among monsters.

He lost, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly, without any excuses.

But he found that he didn't hate the feeling.

"Were you trying to say something else?"

Dai Mubai looked at Oscar, narrowing his heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one green.

Oscar's expression froze for a moment, then he grinned.

"And—plus, I eat a lot every day! Teacher Shao Xin said, you need to eat a lot to be able to fight!"

Dai Mubai glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Oscar hadn't finished his sentence, and there were clearly other words after "outside," but the other party was unwilling to say, and he had no right to press him for details.

Flander's voice rang out at just the right moment, breaking the delicate atmosphere.

"Dai Mubai, the two practical tests are over. Do you have anything to say?"

Dai Mubai turned around to face Flander.

He paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts.

"Before I came here, I heard that Shrek Academy was a lousy place."

His first words made Zhao Wuji's face darken.

"They're dirt poor, can't get any students, and are on the verge of going out of business."

"But now it seems those rumors were all nonsense."

Flanders did not interrupt him.

Dai Mubai continued speaking.

"Your academy may not be as luxurious as the Royal Academy, but it has walls, gates, and training grounds—everything you need. That flag is the best I've ever seen; simple, grand, and imposing. And that school uniform..."

He paused for a moment.

"I've never seen such a nice school uniform before! It's so cool and suits my personality perfectly!"

Ma Hongjun, standing to the side, smiled slightly upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure.

Dai Mubai did not notice the change in his expression.

"so what?"

Flanders' tone remained indifferent.

"So I want to stay."

Dai Mubai raised his head, his heterochromatic eyes staring straight at Flander.

"I didn't choose this place because I had no other choice, but because it's a place worth staying."

"What makes you think you deserve to stay?"

Dai Mubai did not hesitate; his voice was clear and firm.

"Ten years old, a peak level twenty-nine Great Soul Master, with the White Tiger Martial Soul. My talent isn't the best, but my willpower is second to none. I left the Star Luo Empire not to escape, but to become stronger."

His gaze swept over Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

"Here, I found the direction to become stronger."

Flander was silent for a moment, then looked away from Dai Mubai and glanced at the teachers behind him.

Zhao Wuji nodded.

Shao Xin nodded with a smile.

Li Yusong nodded expressionlessly.

Lu Qibin pushed up his glasses and nodded.

Flander looked away.

"Dai Mubai, you've passed. From today onwards, you are a member of Shrek Academy."

Dai Mubai stood still, without cheering, without excitement, and without even a change in expression.

But his hand clenched slightly, his nails digging into his palm, as if to confirm that this was not a dream.

"congratulations."

"From now on, you will be our junior Dai."

Ma Hongjun stepped forward and extended his hand to him.

Dai Mubai looked at the hand, hesitated for less than half a second, and then grasped it.

Ma Hongjun's hands were very dry, with distinct knuckles and thick calluses on his palms, the result of long-term training.

These are not hands of pampered pampering, but the hands of a warrior.
