Su Xiao searched all around Suotuo City and finally spent a hefty sum to find a stable willing to take in Xiao Bai.
He found the hotel marked by Tang San. Tang San and Xiao Wu should be staying here.
The moment he entered the lobby, Su Xiao saw a blond young man with an arrogant face, an arm around each of two girls, seemingly giving the front desk staff a hard time.
"Young Master Dai, you're here! Haha, I'll arrange a room for you right away!" A manager-like man smiled bitterly and fawned over him, then turned to scold the employee. "Didn't you know Young Master Dai has had that room reserved long-term?!"
The young man suddenly turned cold and stared at the manager. "Quit dragging this out. I want my original room!"
The manager wiped the cold sweat running down his cheek, flipped through the records, and maintained his most professional smile as he apologetically said, "Young Master Dai, that room has already been taken. Our hotel has even better rooms. It'll be on the house. Would that be acceptable?"
"Do I look like I'm short on money?!" The young man braced both hands against the counter and roared at the manager like a fierce tiger. "What's the name of the bastard who took my room?"
"Su Xiao," the terrified new employee beside him said quietly.
"That bastard is in the room right now?"
"No." An incongruous voice sounded from behind the young man. "He's behind you."
Dai Mubai slowly turned around and looked teasingly at Su Xiao, who was half a head shorter than him. "Oh? So you're that bastard."
"Watch your mouth, or you'll pay the price," Su Xiao said threateningly.
"Heh." Dai Mubai sneered, then suddenly charged at Su Xiao. "Kid, you're pretty cocky. Today, I'll show you why flowers are red!"
Su Xiao had already noticed his differently colored eyes and recognized the young man as Dai Mubai. Hearing about someone was one thing, but fighting him was another. This was the perfect chance for a spar.
Dai Mubai raised his right fist. As he rushed forward at high speed, his strength and momentum reached their peak. This blow aimed straight for Su Xiao's chest.
Faced with Dai Mubai's overwhelming force, Su Xiao stood as steady as a mountain. He slowly assumed a defensive stance, and a crystalline milky-white layer covered his hands. It was Mystic Jade Hand, one of the Mystic Heaven Six Profound Arts.
"You've got some skill, but you're still far from enough!"
Bang!
Su Xiao overlapped his palms and forcibly blocked Dai Mubai's punch. If it had been anyone else using such a risky method to defend, their arms would likely have already been shattered.
Yet Dai Mubai was the one who pulled back his fist, staring at Su Xiao in surprise. What has this kid trained in? Even a place as soft as his palms is as hard as steel.
The reason Su Xiao had blocked Dai Mubai's punch so easily was not only Mystic Jade Hand. Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon had also helped him redirect most of the force into the ground.
The once-exquisite wooden floor beneath his feet had already been stomped into two deep pits, enough to show the power behind Dai Mubai's punch.
"Kid, looks like you're a Soul Master too. How about we have a proper fight?" Dai Mubai proposed.
Su Xiao nodded. "Sure, but it's only interesting if we put something on the line. Let's bet one hundred Gold Coins. You don't look short on money."
Dai Mubai gave a wicked smile. Pale light erupted from his body, and the phantom of a white tiger appeared behind him. At the same time, three Soul Rings in the optimal configuration rose around him.
Two hundred-year Soul Rings and one Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Dai Mubai shook his hair, which had changed from gold to predominantly white, mixed with a few strands of black. Hidden beneath his hair, a glowing pattern in the shape of the character "king" appeared on his forehead.
"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder. Please advise!"
After Martial Soul Possession, Dai Mubai leaned slightly forward, becoming even more imposing than before. Everyone watching nearby felt immense pressure.
But when he saw Su Xiao undergo Martial Soul Possession, panic unexpectedly appeared in Dai Mubai's originally intimidating eyes.
