Sacrifice Dai Mubai!

"Since you want to stand up for him, let me see if you're qualified!"

Dai Mubai released his martial soul once more.

Having just used his Third Soul Skill, he had consumed a great deal of soul power.

He needed to end this quickly.

"My name is Huo Feng. Make your move."

Huo Feng's expression remained calm as he merely stated his name.

He did not mention his martial soul or Soul Power Level.

"Whoosh—!"

A flash of cold light passed by, and a blue longsword crackling with arcs of electricity appeared in Huo Feng's right hand.

"Hmph! Arrogant!"

A glint of coldness flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes.

This brat named Huo Feng was so arrogant that he would not even reveal his martial soul or Soul Power Level! What he did not know was that Huo Feng had no choice.

A thousand-year Second Soul Ring would easily scare the little ones if revealed.

And if others saw it and word got out, who knew how much trouble it would bring.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not reveal his soul rings.

Ding!

Main Quest, Phase Three, triggered!

Sacrifice Dai Mubai!

Quest Reward: Soul Ring Simulator!

Soul Ring Simulator: The host may freely alter the displayed age of soul rings! (Note: Displayed age is not actual age!)

At that moment, the system's voice appeared in Huo Feng's mind without warning.

Soul Ring Simulator! After hearing the quest reward, Huo Feng could not help but feel surprised.

Didn't that mean he could alter the displayed age of his Second Soul Ring to that of a hundred-year soul ring?

In everyone else's eyes, Huo Feng's Second Soul Ring would only be an ordinary yellow soul ring!

Rather than purple!

Well, damn. He got exactly what he needed.

It had solved one of Huo Feng's most pressing problems.

Forget the distant future—even when he went to Shrek Academy in two days, the entrance exam would have been hard to deal with.

With the system practically spoon-feeding him, it would be hard not to soar! A sinister gleam flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes. He suddenly raised his right fist and charged forward, throwing a punch straight at Huo Feng's chest.

In just a few steps, his strength and speed reached their peak.

His punch was simple and unadorned, without any flashy tricks.

Tang San, watching from nearby, changed expression.

Having taken two of Dai Mubai's punches head-on, he knew all too well how powerful those fists were.

He could not help but mutter to himself. Huo Feng probably would not find it easy to take that punch either.

"Sword Cleaving Strike!"

Huo Feng did not lower his guard. His opponent was a level thirty-seven Beast Martial Soul Battle Soul Grandmaster.

At least in terms of Soul Power Level, Dai Mubai was still stronger than him.

He lightly leaped into the air, gripped his sword with both hands, and brought it down in a slash! "Sizzle—!"

Where the sword radiance passed, the air itself crackled under the stimulation of electric arcs.

"Boom—!"

Dai Mubai, who had been charging forward, carelessly took Huo Feng's slash head-on.

The instant the two forces collided, a cloud of white mist erupted.

When the mist dispersed, Dai Mubai was already covered in soot and scorch marks.

The muscles all over his body twitched uncontrollably.

It was the effect of the Chain Lightning within Huo Feng's Sword Cleaving Strike.

His expression turned somewhat grave as a result.

He had not expected Huo Feng's ordinary-looking slash to be fucking electrified!

Wasn't that against martial ethics?

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

The stalemate made Dai Mubai uneasy. The purple soul ring around him abruptly lit up.

His Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, was unleashed.

Just as before, his body began to swell and grow, entering its strongest combat form in the blink of an eye.

Dai Mubai's figure flashed as he sprang from the ground.

His terrifying explosive power brought him to a position above and in front of Huo Feng in an instant.

His limbs spread out in an extremely strange posture, making it seem as though his entire body was full of openings.

But on closer inspection, one would discover that Dai Mubai could shift his limbs at any time to respond to attacks that might appear at any moment.

"Clang—!"

Huo Feng slashed out with his sword.

The Thunderclap Sword collided with a tiger claw, sending a string of sparks flying.

"Clang—!"

Another slash fell.

Dai Mubai actually felt pain and took two steps back.

Enhanced by his Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his tiger claws were as hard as metal.

Yet Huo Feng's sword carried electricity. When metal met electricity, it was an experience like no other.

Just as Dai Mubai was at a loss, he saw the sword in Huo Feng's hand suddenly disappear.

He had actually recalled his martial soul?

He was utterly arrogant! Dai Mubai could not stand it anymore. A Tool Soul Master had actually put away the Attack-Type Martial Soul he relied on.

Could it be that he wanted to compete with a Beast Martial Soul Battle Soul Grandmaster like him in physical strength?

Dai Mubai did not believe Huo Feng, who possessed such strength, could be that foolish.

There was only one reason for the latter to do this: he simply looked down on him completely.

At that thought, Dai Mubai's already scarlet eyes turned even redder with rage.

They brimmed with blazing battle intent.

The twin sisters, who had just been clapping and cheering from nearby, trembled uncontrollably when they saw this.

After being favored by Young Master Dai so many times, they had never seen him this angry.

Dai Mubai walked step by step toward Tang San.

The silver blades on his ten tiger claws extended and retracted continuously, radiating astonishing pressure.

At that moment, Huo Feng moved.

He still did not release his martial soul, charging straight at Dai Mubai empty-handed.

He leaped high into the air, assuming the same posture he had used when unleashing his First Soul Skill, Sword Cleaving Strike.

The only difference was that Huo Feng's hands were empty now. The Thunderclap Sword had been replaced by his fists.

With a dull bang, Huo Feng's fist slammed into Dai Mubai's chest.

At the same time, Dai Mubai's fist smashed into Huo Feng's chest as well.

Amid the startled cries of the twin girls watching, Dai Mubai's body paused slightly before he steadied himself and stopped.

Huo Feng, who had initiated the attack, was sent flying backward in an instant.

With his upper body tilted back, he performed a backflip and flew a full five meters before landing.

He only regained his balance by dropping into a half-crouch on one knee.

Seeing this, Tang San's previously grave expression suddenly relaxed.

In his eyes, since Dai Mubai had beaten him so badly,

Huo Feng should not be able to win so easily either.

Tang San did not notice that the subtle shift in his expression had been clearly caught by Xiao Wu, who was also watching behind Huo Feng.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly in a smile.

Unlike Tang San, she had never once thought Huo Feng would lose.

Huo Feng stood up and patted the dust from his body.

After taking Dai Mubai's punch to the chest, even his clothes had become somewhat torn.

"It's not too late to admit defeat now!"

Dai Mubai crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at Huo Feng.

The latter had taken his full-force blow.

His condition had to be terrible by now.

The host has made contact with Dai Mubai!

Would the host like to proceed with the sacrifice?

At that moment, the system's voice appeared in Huo Feng's mind right on cue.

"Sacrifice!"

Without even thinking, Huo Feng answered directly.
