Douro Continent

Chapter 392 Strategic Planning, Master (Part 2)

In order to deal the biggest blow to Dai Mubai, he used his trump card right from the start.

The Soul-Locking Ring appeared before Lei Dong for the second time. However, Dai Mubai seemed oblivious to the light emanating from the ring. His first soul ring lit up, a layer of white light covering Dai Mubai's body. This was Dai Mubai's first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier.

Lei Dong was enraged, glaring at Dai Mubai who was charging towards him, as if to ask, "Are you prepared to use your first soul skill to block my fourth soul skill? You underestimate me too much."

The Soul-Locking Ring vanished before Lei Dong's eyes, and in the next instant, it was fully applied to Dai Mubai. The lightning ring tightened, and Dai Mubai's advancing body abruptly stopped. Dense bolts of lightning erupted from the Soul-Locking Ring, instantly spreading throughout Dai Mubai's entire body. Just as Lei Dong had expected, how could the defense of the first spirit ring possibly withstand the restriction of the fourth spirit ring?

Dai Mubai's gaze remained unchanged; his evil eyes were still fixed on his opponent. Lei Dong, after unleashing his fourth soul skill, clearly showed signs of soul power depletion. He swayed slightly, his face ashen.

A hint of disdain flickered at the corner of his mouth as Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head and unleashed a roar. What followed was a scene that completely stunned all the teachers and students of Thunder Academy. Dai Mubai's spirit rings remained unchanged, but a layer of brilliant golden light appeared on his body, and the white hair that had appeared due to his martial spirit possession instantly turned completely golden.

A cracking sound rang out, his muscles tensed, and his power was released instantly. Dai Mubai's evil eyes widened, and the God-Locking Ring that bound him actually let out a weak groan.

Bang—, specks of blue light flashed in the air as the God-Locking Ring shattered. Dai Mubai pounced like a tiger poised for battle.

How could this happen?

At this moment, not only Lei Dong, but everyone in Thunder Academy was completely blank in their minds. They couldn't understand why Dai Mubai, who appeared not to have used any soul skills, was able to break free from Lei Dong's fourth soul skill binding him. Why wasn't he paralyzed by the intense lightning attached to the God-Locking Ring?

Dai Mubai naturally wouldn't give them an answer. By the time the teachers from Thunder Academy realized what was happening, Dai Mubai was already in front of Lei Dong. He still didn't use any soul skills, but simply slammed a tiger paw down, heavily striking Lei Dong's shoulder. The tiger claw extended the instant the paw struck.

Lei Dong's body floated out of the arena like a scarecrow. Before losing consciousness, he clearly heard the sound of his bones cracking.

The tiger claw blade left five deep blood grooves on his back, and his entire left shoulder bone was completely shattered. If Dai Mubai hadn't held back, this single palm strike would have taken his life.

After swatting his opponent away, Dai Mubai acted as if nothing had happened, turning around and walking back to his starting position. His gaze met Tang San's. A faint purple aura flashed in his evil eyes.

Tang San smiled slightly and gave Dai Mubai a thumbs up.

While they exchanged glances, the Thunder Academy team on the other side was indignant. Lei Dong's injuries were extremely severe; his entire back was now stained crimson with blood. He was unconscious, his left arm hanging limply. Dai Mubai's strength was even more domineering than expected; along with the shattered shoulder bones, several ribs also showed signs of fracture. With such severe injuries, he probably wouldn't be able to participate in the finals, let alone the last two qualifying matches.

The teachers at Thunder Academy were among the first to protest to the competition organizing committee.

The referee approached Dai Mubai for questioning, and Dai Mubai's explanation was simple. Although he had the advantage at the time, his opponent hadn't conceded. He hadn't killed his opponent; he had only knocked him out of the ring, and hadn't violated any rules of the game.

And that was indeed the case; no matter what, Dai Mubai had no intention of killing his opponent. And at that time, Thunder Academy also did not concede defeat.

Dai Mubai still stood proudly in the center of the field, looking down at his right tiger paw, and a feeling of excitement welled up in his heart.

Finally, I don't have to hide my abilities anymore. It's really frustrating to always suppress my feelings.

Since the start of the qualifying rounds, at the master's insistence, he hadn't used his full strength. As captain, he watched his teammates win match after match, while his own victories were unremarkable. How could someone as competitive as Dai Mubai feel comfortable about this? Only the master could have made him do this.

In terms of age, Dai Mubai is the oldest among the Shrek Seven Devils, and has also cultivated for the longest time. He is no longer at level 44, but level 45. He just broke through to that level two days ago. The reason he was able to break free from his opponent's restraints with his first soul skill was definitely not by chance. Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt a strong sense of gratitude towards Tang San.

Why was he able to do all this? Why wasn't he paralyzed by lightning? It's simple, because of a magical herb. A magical herb called the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, when consumed, circulates Qi throughout the limbs and unblocks the eight meridians, enabling one to cultivate an indestructible body.

The claim of being indestructible is obviously an exaggeration, but it's enough to demonstrate the efficacy of this magical herb. Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum complement each other perfectly. Even Ma Hongjun, thanks to the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, had his evil fire threat removed, purifying his Phoenix Martial Soul. How could Dai Mubai not benefit from it?

At this moment, Dai Mubai's body can be described as an indestructible body, with all-attribute resistance so strong that even Zhao Wuji, who was following the same path, was full of praise.

Lightning paralysis wasn't ineffective against Dai Mubai; it's just that his opponent's soul power was weaker than his, and his body's resistance was so formidable. Naturally, the effects of the lightning were greatly weakened. At least the God-Locking Ring wasn't enough to restrict his movements.

The greatest effect of the God-Locking Ring lies in paralyzing opponents with lightning. It is not very tough, so how can it restrain Dai Mubai when the paralysis effect is not very effective?

This is Dai Mubai's true strength. With his physical condition after consuming the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, let alone an opponent with the same spirit ring, even if the opponent has a spirit ring higher than him, the opponent may not be able to hurt him.

Fierce and domineering—these are Dai Mubai's characteristics. The master's guidance to him was to transform this domineering nature into unparalleled supremacy.

With negotiations proving fruitless, the last member of Thunder Academy, who was also their captain, finally made his appearance.

Yu Tianxin, a level 43 offensive-type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, one of the seven major sects. In terms of seniority, he is also the cousin of Yu Tianheng from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team. However, his strength is slightly inferior to Yu Tianheng's.

Upon seeing Yu Tianxin's appearance, the master frowned slightly. He and Liu Erlong both came from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Yu Tianheng was his nephew, and Yu Tianxin was his cousin, as well as the eldest grandson of Liu Erlong's father. Liu Erlong was his aunt.

Seeing members of the sect inevitably reminded Grandmaster of his past with Liu Erlong. He had already instructed Dai Mubai not to hold back against his opponents, as long as they didn't break the rules and kill them. It wasn't that he was heartless, but rather that he didn't want his actions to affect the Shrek Seven Devils.

"You will pay for what you just did." Yu Tianxin stared fiercely at Dai Mubai. As the captain of the Thunder Team, seeing his partner seriously injured, his eyes were already red.

Dai Mubai said calmly, "That depends on whether you have the ability."

With a cold snort, Yu Tianxin unleashed her martial spirit in a low growl.

A dazzling blue light suddenly shone from between Yu Tianxin's eyebrows. Immediately afterward, the blue light spread, descending from his brow into his entire body. Streaks of blue-purple electricity, like small snakes, erupted and coiled around his body. A blue lightning bolt mark appeared on his forehead. Unlike the original Yu Tianheng, two parts of his body had changed due to the possession of his martial soul.

What changed were his arms. His sleeves ripped and turned to ash due to the expansion of his arms. His arms increased in length by more than half a foot, becoming extremely thick and covered in bluish-purple scales. His hands transformed into claws, also covered in the same scales, and every joint in his hands became extremely large. The bluish-purple snake-like lightning swirling around him constantly condensed and flowed across his arms. Unlike other soul masters, his four spirit rings—two yellow and two purple—did not coil around his body, but rather coiled directly on his uniquely mutated arms. There were two spirit rings on each side.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul, starting at level 30, transforms a part of its body into a dragon-like form with each new Soul Ring it acquires. Yu Tianheng was level 39 at the time, so only one arm was like this. Now, Yu Tianxin is over level 40, and both arms have transformed into dragon-like forms. Both his aura and presence are far stronger than Yu Tianheng's back then.

Staring intently at his opponent, Dai Mubai fully felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from him. Back when he faced Yu Tianheng, Dai Mubai had first experienced the pressure emanating from a martial spirit. Now, that same feeling was emanating from his opponent before him.

As one of the three upper sects, the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's martial soul is beyond doubt. However, Dai Mubai believes that after consuming the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, his White Tiger martial soul is no longer inferior to his opponent's.

Seeing his opponent's reddened eyes, Dai Mubai's evil pupils became even deeper. The two stared at each other, neither giving an inch.
