Dragon-Tiger Showdown

"Su Xiao, Martial Soul: Holy Light Dragon, thirty-ninth-level Battle Soul Elder. Please enlighten me!"

Su Xiao was enveloped in a milky-white glow. With a dragon's roar, the phantom of a Holy Light Dragon appeared behind him, radiating pale golden streams of light.

Three purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet, and his formidable Soul Power surged through the hotel lobby like crashing waves.

"Three Thousand-Year Soul Rings?" Dai Mubai's expression darkened.

Su Xiao deliberately taunted him. "Don't want to fight anymore? Then admit defeat and pay up. Don't even think about backing out!"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and glared angrily. He moved, suddenly charging in front of Su Xiao as his tiger paws clawed at him.

Seeing Dai Mubai's fierce attack, Su Xiao did not dodge. Instead, he raised his right hand, gleaming with golden light, as his first Soul Ring lit up.

A great amount of golden light gathered in the air, forming five claw marks. With a full-force swing from Su Xiao, they transformed into solid dragon claws and slammed toward Dai Mubai.

"First Soul Skill—Holy Light Dragon Claw!"

The enormous dragon claw could completely engulf Dai Mubai. He chose to avoid its edge for the moment, retreating continuously as his first Soul Ring shone brightly.

Dai Mubai's Soul Power formed a pale white barrier around him, attempting to block the Holy Light Dragon Claw.

"First Soul Skill—White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

When the golden dragon claw touched the pale barrier, it shattered into golden motes that clung to its surface. Those motes slowly pierced through the barrier, then unexpectedly gathered again into a golden wyrm that charged toward Dai Mubai.

"The Holy Light Dragon Claw has a piercing effect. It can ignore barriers," Su Xiao explained.

The golden wyrm contained terrifying power and was already right in front of Dai Mubai. He had to go all out to break the attack.

"Damn it, a first Soul Skill alone has forced me into this state." Dai Mubai was unwilling to accept it.

His second and third Soul Rings lit up in succession. A mass of white light condensed before him, and with a tiger's roar, a pale curtain of light enveloped the golden wyrm.

"Second Soul Skill—White Tiger Light Wave!"

The pale curtain of light gradually grew thinner. With a dragon's roar, the golden wyrm circled through the air several times. Even after most of its power had been weakened, it was still not to be underestimated.

At the same time, Dai Mubai's third Soul Ring—also his Thousand-Year Soul Ring—released a pale golden glow that enveloped him. His muscles began to swell, and black markings appeared across his body.

"Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai spread his once-again strengthened tiger paws. A layer of blood-colored mist now covered his pale silver claws.

Dai Mubai's aura became even more powerful after his second transformation. His tiger paws tore out several bloody streaks, instantly shredding the fiercely incoming golden wyrm to pieces.

Seeing his skill neutralized, Su Xiao was already preparing to follow up with another attack. He could finally measure himself against a Dai Mubai fighting at full strength. Just as his second Soul Ring began to glow faintly, Dai Mubai waved his hand and dispelled his Martial Soul Possession.

"I concede. You're too monstrous. Your first Soul Skill alone forced me to use my full strength to block it."

Dai Mubai patted his mouth, feigning drowsiness as he let out a relieved breath. "Su Xiao, right? See you at Shrek. If someone gives you trouble, just mention my name... Forget it. I doubt anyone would dare trouble you."

With that, Dai Mubai put his arms around the pair of twins and headed out of the hotel. As he bid Su Xiao farewell, he did not forget to toss him a bag of gold coins.

Just then, Tang San and Xiao Wu also came out of their room and saw the wreckage covering the lobby.

"A Xiao, did you get into a fight?" Tang San asked.

Su Xiao weighed the money pouch in his hand. "Feeding Xiao Bai every day costs a fortune. I have to earn a little extra on the side!"

Xiao Wu pointed at Dai Mubai's retreating figure and criticized, "You can tell at a glance that he's no good. He even picked up two at once."

"His name is Dai Mubai. He's a student at Shrek."
