Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 231 Davis's Soul Bone!

Today, Xingluo City was exceptionally lively. Whether nobles or commoners, almost everyone was rushing towards the imperial palace, making it completely surrounded. Among the crowd, you could even see people from other countries mixed in!

The reason is simple: today is the fateful battle between the two princes of the Star Luo Empire!

Moreover, one of the princes was not yet eighteen years old, and it was this prince who proposed to start the war ahead of schedule!

Surrounded by such accolades, it's hard not to attract attention!

In the center of the crowd, the Star Luo Emperor sat at the highest point, looking down at the crowd below with an expressionless face.

Behind Emperor Xingluo were numerous court officials and nobles, including Han Feng, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

Outside, a line of Soul King Imperial Guards blocked the crowded people. People did not dare to be too presumptuous. Although they were shoulder to shoulder, they did not dare to cross the line. They stayed obediently in the distance and watched the two protagonists of this incident.

Dai Mubai and Davis stood facing each other on the high platform, their expressions both calm.

To be honest, compared to the previous fateful battle, Dai Mubai and Davis's performance this time was rather meager. Apart from a high platform, there was nothing else. Even the platform itself looked crudely made, clearly rushed out. But there was nothing that could be done about it, since the event happened suddenly and a week was not enough time to create an elegant and prestigious arena.

However, the Star Luo people don't care about such things. More than appearances, they want to know which of the two princes is stronger and who will become the next Star Luo emperor.

"My dear brother! I've finally waited for this day!" On the high platform, Davis, who had previously appeared tough on the outside but weak on the inside, looked at Dai Mubai with a mocking expression. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to eight years ago!

"Tsk!" Han Feng clicked his tongue lightly when he saw Davis's performance.

That night, Davis didn't even dare to release his martial soul in front of Dai Mubai, but now he dares to provoke Dai Mubai. Han Feng doesn't believe he doesn't have some trump cards up his sleeve!

If Han Feng could see it, how could Dai Mubai not see it too?

But Dai Mubai wasn't worried. To put it arrogantly, Dai Mubai had no idea how Davis could beat him!

Without further ado, Dai Mubai raised his hand, pointed at Davis, and said coldly, "Enough with the nonsense, make your move!"

"Hey! How arrogant!" Dai Mubai's haughty attitude completely enraged Davis!

Davis recalled what the Star Luo Emperor had said to him a few days ago when he summoned him!

His father told him directly that he would never be a match for Dai Mubai. His father never expected him to defeat Dai Mubai. His father only hoped that he could fight Dai Mubai to a draw, so that his father could find an excuse to postpone the final battle to a year later.

Davis knew perfectly well why the Star Luo Emperor was doing this!

Dai Mubai had been away from Xingluo for several years, but Davis had been by his father's side the whole time. He had long since figured out his father's personality and temperament!

His father, the emperor, couldn't bear to give up the throne!

The Star Luo Emperor did not want Dai Mubai to become the Crown Prince so early. Although it was only a year's difference, that one year represented too many issues. This one year earlier would allow the Star Luo people to see just how outstanding Dai Mubai was—it was like the difference between a level 98 Peerless Douluo and a level 99 Limit Douluo. The level 98 Peerless Douluo was because his talent was limited, while the Limit Douluo was because the limit for mortals was level 99!

A crown prince with boundless potential and limitless prospects will undoubtedly be a shock to the rule of the Star Luo Emperor!

Look at the Heaven Dou Empire next door!

The old emperor was already a figurehead, and the crown prince handled all the affairs of the empire. Xueye had long been sidelined!

Therefore, the Star Luo Emperor needs a draw, a draw that allows Dai Mubai to be made crown prince at the age of eighteen, just like a normal prince!

Even with such a small requirement, Emperor Xingluo didn't think Davis could succeed, so he gave Davis a ten-thousand-year soul bone!

That's right. The Star Luo Emperor gave Davis a ten-thousand-year soul bone, simply to have Davis fight Dai Mubai to a draw. Even if Davis lost slightly, it wouldn't matter. As long as it wasn't too bad, the Star Luo Emperor could define it as a draw!

But such a thing seems a bit too cruel when it happens to Davis.

"Who do you think you are?!" The immense humiliation and sense of loss caused Davis to roar, his once handsome face contorted in pain, and he charged at Dai Mubai like a madman!

"Evil-Eyed White Tiger!" Davis shouted, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger possessed him. Three of his five spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—lit up. His true body armor, which had already possessed him, changed again, wrapped in the light of annihilation, and charged towards Dai Mubai!

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, and his martial soul was also activated. Three of his five soul rings, yellow, purple, black and white, lit up. He activated the White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation and White Tiger Demon God Transformation. Instantly, Dai Mubai transformed into a humanoid tiger god. The strong fierce aura even made the Star Luo Emperor frown!

Then, Dai Mubai drew the Gengjin Heavenly Fiend Halberd and casually struck, sending Davis flying!

But the moment he knocked Davis away, Dai Mubai frowned – Davis’s soul power had clearly increased by two levels. Although it was weak, it was indeed much stronger!

"Hmph!" Seeing Davis being so easily knocked away, Emperor Xingluo snorted coldly, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

"Cough cough!" Davis, who had been sent flying backward, coughed violently twice, looking at Dai Mubai with jealousy, and suddenly said, "Actually, I've known for a long time that you're stronger than me. You've been stronger than me since you were little. When you were seven, you were stronger than me at nine, and when you were eleven, you were stronger than me at fourteen. So I kept trying to suppress you, but in the end, it was all in vain! You're still stronger than me. Father doesn't even think I can threaten you!"

Dai Mubai looked at Davis from afar, his brows furrowed.

Davis is behaving very abnormally right now, with extreme emotional fluctuations and constant chatter, which is completely different from his usual self!

"What are you doing!?" The next moment, Dai Mubai, who finally noticed something was wrong, shouted and charged towards Davis with the Gengjin Heavenly Fiend Halberd!

"So you found out after all!? Too bad it's too late!" Davis was not surprised but delighted. He stopped hiding and raised his left arm high. A powerful wave forced Dai Mubai back. The unique wave of the soul bone flowed out from his left arm!

"Soul Bone!?" Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized what was happening. He looked at the Star Luo Emperor with a complex expression in his eyes!

In the palace, who, besides the most esteemed emperor, could possibly grant Davis an extra, high-quality soul bone without him even noticing? Who else possesses such power and wealth?

But that's not all that's surprising. The next moment, the two thousand-year spirit rings and the only ten-thousand-year spirit ring behind Davis gradually merged into one!

"A Fusion Ring!?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this, "This soul bone is actually a Fusion Ring!?"

"It's not a complete fusion ring. This soul bone skill can only fuse the power of three soul rings at most. Although it's more flexible than a true fusion ring, its power is greatly reduced!" Zhu Zhuqing explained, her beautiful eyes showing worry as she murmured, "His Majesty actually gave this soul bone to Davis!?"

Hearing the two women's conversation, Han Feng suddenly smiled mysteriously and said softly, "Big Brother Bai... if Heaven doesn't grant you this, you'll surely suffer the consequences!"

Seeing that Davis's fusion ring was about to succeed, Dai Mubai withdrew his gaze. His aura changed again, and he activated his Berserker Body. Terrifying baleful energy suddenly exploded on the high platform, and the surging power stirred up a storm on the platform, actually overpowering Davis's fusion ring!

"What is this!?" Davis had seen Dai Mubai unleash his Berserker Body before, but no matter when, Davis couldn't help but feel terrified!

"You don't need to know!" By the time Davis reacted, Dai Mubai had already ignored the fluctuations emanating from the Fusion Ring and appeared beside him, raising the Gengjin Heavenly Fiend Halberd high. With a swift movement, the halberd fell, and blood flashed!

"ah!!!"

boom!

All the onlookers saw was Dai Mubai severing Davis's left arm with a single halberd strike. The bone fell onto the high platform, and without the support of the soul bone, the three soul rings that were almost fused together exploded. Davis's shrill screams were drowned out by the deafening explosion. Several Soul Douluos flew out to limit the spread of the explosion, but no one could see what was happening on the high platform!

"Useless!" At this moment, the Star Luo Emperor cursed under his breath, his tiger eyes filled with displeasure!

At the same time, Dai Mubai had emerged from the explosion, completely unharmed, though his face was splattered with blood. He held a bloody piece of his left arm bone in his hand, his face expressionless, and he walked down the platform step by step.

With each step Dai Mubai took, a transformation occurred: his murderous aura dissipated, his white hair faded, and his martial spirit returned. By the time he reached Han Feng and the others, he had returned to normal.

Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai's expressionless face and felt a pang of pity. The tears that had been welling up in her beautiful eyes finally burst forth, and she cried out, whether with joy or resentment, it was hard to tell.

"Not kill?" Han Feng wasn't so sentimental; he simply asked calmly.

"I won't kill him! I will end this vulgar fate of the Star Luo royal family!" Dai Mubai said, enunciating each word clearly. He glanced at the high and mighty Star Luo Emperor and said with disdain, "Although I have severed his left hand, crippled his cultivation and martial spirit, and severed his tendons, he will become the first prince of the Star Luo Empire!"

Han Feng chuckled softly upon hearing this.

To put it bluntly, if the Star Luo Empire wants to continue its legacy, it will need Davis's offspring!

Once they become gods, if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing have children, Han Feng wouldn't want his nephew or niece to suffer in the mortal realm!

As for how to bring them to the realm of gods...

Let's find the God of Defense!

The old man kept talking about first-level gods and second-level gods. Anyway, even after reaching level 100, he could stay in Douluo Continent for a hundred years, so he had plenty of time!

Of course, it's a bit early to say all this now; Han Feng himself has only just turned fourteen.
