As Yang Ming's words fell, his left hand shot out like lightning, seizing Dai Mubai's right hand before he could retract it. He pulled with his left hand, clenched his right into a fist, used his fist as a spear, and drove it straight into Dai Mubai's abdomen.
Yang Ming had not used any other power in that punch, only pure physical strength. Even so, Dai Mubai felt as if his abdomen had been struck hard by a thousand-pound hammer. His vision went dark for an instant. If he had not spent the past few years fighting in the Soul Arena and built up decent physical endurance and fighting will, that one punch would have certainly knocked him unconscious.
Dai Mubai was sent flying straight out of the hotel lobby by the force of the punch.
The hotel receptionist had just shown Yang Ming where he would be staying and reminded him to be careful. Naturally, he would not allow the fight to take place inside the hotel.
Bang!
With a dull thud, Dai Mubai flew more than ten meters before crashing heavily onto the street outside the hotel entrance. The acid in his stomach was knocked out of him, along with some blood.
The pair of beautiful twins and the receptionist inside the hotel were all frightened by the sudden turn of events. They had never expected the refined and amiable-looking Yang Ming to be such a ruthless man, ready to strike at the slightest word. Zhu Zhuqing, meanwhile, saw again the way Yang Ming had looked when he first snatched her away. Uh... she had not seen his face back then—she meant his aura!
Seeing Dai Mubai fly out, Yang Ming slowly walked out of the hotel lobby as well.
After taking quite a while to recover, Dai Mubai finally got to his feet. His abdomen still hurt somewhat, but it was no longer a serious problem. That was just how overbearing a top-tier Beast Spirit was.
That blow had also woken Dai Mubai up. He had misjudged him! This kid was not simple. Still, merely not simple. Dai Mubai believed Yang Ming had only caught him off guard just now. In a real fight, the other side would absolutely not be his match.
Moreover, Yang Ming's choice deeply provoked Dai Mubai's cowardly heart. Back then, when faced with his brother, who was six years older than him, Dai Mubai had known he had no chance of winning. He had abandoned everything and fled Star Luo like a stray dog. So what gave that kid the right to charge ahead and make a choice unlike his own back then, when he was three or four years younger than Dai Mubai and did not even know Dai Mubai's true strength?
But Yang Ming would soon let Dai Mubai know exactly what gave him that right!!!
Dai Mubai raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the kid standing on the hotel steps and shouted coldly.
"Kid, you have completely enraged me!"
"Today, I will smash every single one of your bones bit by bit!!!"
"White Tiger Avatar!!!"
A powerful pale light abruptly erupted from Dai Mubai's body. He spread both arms wide, thrust out his chest, and his bones crackled loudly. His muscles suddenly swelled, stretching his clothes taut. Every muscle became distinctly visible beneath the fabric, and even the air around him seemed to grow violent.
His golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white taking up most of it while several locks of black stood out sharply among it. Four faint markings appeared on his forehead—three horizontal strokes and one vertical stroke, forming a Wang Mark.
His hands underwent the greatest change, growing more than twice their former size. White fur covered his palms, and as his ten fingers flexed, dagger-like claws continuously extended from and retracted into his hands. Every claw was as sharp as a blade and nearly eight inches long, gleaming with a cold, sinister light.
Three Spirit Rings emerged beneath his feet—two yellow and one purple. As they revolved, surging Soul Power formed a wave-like pressure that crashed toward Yang Ming.
That earlier punch had already confirmed for Dai Mubai that, without using their Martial Souls, his strength was inferior to Yang Ming's. But judging by Yang Ming's age, he did not believe Yang Ming's cultivation was higher than his. He merely thought Yang Ming possessed inborn divine strength and exceptional physical power. But once Martial Souls were used, that might not be the case.
Dai Mubai was arrogant and proud, but he was not stupid. If he lost this match, not only would Young Master Dai fail to keep his legs and his dignity, he would also lose all face before the beauty Yang Ming had brought with him. Her beauty was one thing, but more importantly, he had sensed a Martial Soul resonance with her. That was what mattered most!!!
If he could win over the beauty before him and help the Dai Family uncover a new Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then Dai Mubai would have the capital to fight his dear elder brother again. As for the possibility that this beauty was his former fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai had never considered it. He had left Star Luo City years ago. Given the personalities of his brother and sister-in-law, it was hard to say whether that little girl he had only met a few times was even still alive. What Dai Mubai did not know was that not only had that little girl survived, she had appeared before him under such circumstances. She had simply changed so much since then that he failed to recognize her.
When Yang Ming saw the imposing might displayed by Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul Possession, he could not help clicking his tongue in admiration. The White Tiger Martial Soul truly lived up to its reputation! Golden light flashed over Yang Ming's right hand, and the transparent, ethereal Atlas Spear, marked with Void Patterns, appeared in his grasp.
Dai Mubai looked at the long spear in Yang Ming's hand but could not identify what kind of Martial Soul it was. However, his White Tiger Martial Soul was faintly warning him. The Atlas Spear's might was relatively restrained, yet the White Tiger Martial Soul could still sense a trace of terrifying power buried beneath the iceberg. That alone was enough to prove the White Tiger Martial Soul's strength!
As Yang Ming summoned the Atlas Spear, the fluctuations of his Soul Power began soaring in a straight line. Although Yang Ming's Soul Power Level was still slightly below Dai Mubai's, its quality far surpassed Dai Mubai's.
Feeling Yang Ming's Soul Power pressure bearing down on him, that aura of Absolute Dominance and unrivaled supremacy made Dai Mubai's mind nearly shatter. He seemed to sense on Yang Ming an imperial majesty even more imposing than that of his father, the king. But that was secondary. The most important question was, why were this kid's Soul Power fluctuations so powerful? They were completely no weaker than Dai Mubai's, even faintly surpassing them. He clearly looked several years younger than Dai Mubai, so why was he so strong?!
Dai Mubai's tiger eyes turned bloodshot as he roared like a madman.
"Impossible!!!"
"How could someone like this exist!"
"I don't believe it! You must have taken medicine that speeds up cultivation!!!"
The moment he finished speaking, Dai Mubai launched his attack. His white hair had only just begun to rise when his burly, muscular body, filled with explosive power after Martial Soul Possession, had already appeared before Yang Ming.
Yang Ming's talent had utterly crushed what little pride Dai Mubai had left. Talent was the final support for this fallen prince's arrogance and conceit. Now that he discovered the talent he had always been proud of was nothing more than a joke before Yang Ming, he felt as if his entire being were about to break apart. Thus, Dai Mubai once again instinctively chose to flee from reality. He desperately wanted to prove that Yang Ming's Soul Master cultivation was fake, built up through drugs! That Yang Ming was vulnerable! Only then could Dai Mubai preserve his last shred of pride.
The claws on Dai Mubai's right tiger paw sprang out as he swiped at Yang Ming's chest.
Seeing Dai Mubai's attack, Yang Ming did not hesitate in the slightest and thrust his spear forward...
