Beat Dai Mubai

"..."

The moment Zhao Wuji's gaze landed on him, Su Mo instantly had the illusion that he was being stared down by a massive beast.

Su Mo was utterly speechless. If he went up now, he would definitely be going up there to bear Zhao Wuji's anger.

Zhao Wuji might have looked extremely wretched just now, but Su Mo knew Zhao Wuji had not used his true strength at all. Otherwise, Tang San could never have lasted the time it took for a stick of incense to burn.

And since Zhao Wuji had already been careless once, he definitely would not let his guard down and suffer a loss again.

So Su Mo did not want to fight Zhao Wuji.

"Teacher Zhao, I'm only level 22. There's no need for you to assess me personally, is there?"

So Su Mo chose to expose himself. I'm weak trash, not worth your time.

"You're only level 22?"

Sure enough, when he heard Su Mo's words, Zhao Wuji froze for a moment. He had thought everyone who made it to the fourth trial today was above level 25.

Zhao Wuji could not help looking toward Lu Qibin. They already had so many people above level 25, so what was the point of bringing in a level 22 as well?

"Ahem... he really is only level 22!"

When Lu Qibin saw Zhao Wuji's gaze, he coughed dryly twice, then confirmed it.

He could also tell that Zhao Wuji wanted to regain face through Su Mo. But Su Mo was someone he had brought over, so he did not want to see Su Mo become Zhao Wuji's punching bag, and therefore did not mention Su Mo's Soul Ring configuration.

Once it was confirmed that Su Mo was only level 22, he believed Zhao Wuji would lose interest in making a move.

"Then forget it. Dai Mubai, you assess this kid!"

Sure enough, after Zhao Wuji heard that Su Mo really was only level 22, he lost interest, afraid that he might accidentally beat Su Mo to death.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao Wuji!"

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dai Mubai immediately agreed.

The fourth trial had originally been his responsibility to test. Zhao Wuji was only serving as the proctor.

"Teacher Zhao, forgive me for offending you just now. I'll remove the hidden weapons from your body right away!"

At this moment, Tang San finally calmed down as well, dragging his exhausted body over to Zhao Wuji.

After that, Tang San used Mystic Jade Hand and removed the Plate Crystal Hidden Weapons that had pierced into Zhao Wuji's body.

"Teacher Zhao Wuji, it's done..."

Before Tang San could finish speaking, his body swayed, then slowly toppled backward.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji reached out and pulled, grabbing Tang San by the collar and stopping him from falling.

"This kid really did fight with everything he had..."

Looking at the unconscious Tang San, Zhao Wuji knew that Tang San had fainted because both his stamina and Soul Power had been completely exhausted. Though he was displeased at having been made to look so battered by Tang San, he still admired him greatly.

"Dai Mubai, make the final assessment quick!"

"Then we can arrange their lodging!"

After that, Zhao Wuji held Tang San upside down as he spoke to Dai Mubai.

"Yes, Teacher Zhao Wuji!"

Hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Dai Mubai responded again.

Then Dai Mubai came in front of Su Mo. "For the fourth trial, you have to last for the time it takes a stick of incense to burn under my attacks. Are you ready?"

"Anytime!"

Su Mo merely drew the Soul Hunting Spear from his back, spun it in a flourish, then said calmly to Dai Mubai.

Although he had successfully avoided a fight with Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji telling Dai Mubai to finish it quickly also made him very unhappy.

Does he really think Dai Mubai can deal with me that easily?

Seeing that Dai Mubai and Su Mo were about to fight, everyone else backed away a little.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had both already fallen unconscious.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Lu Qibin were also curious at this moment, wanting to know just how strong Su Mo really was.

Zhao Wuji was not interested in Su Mo, but they still were.

Dai Mubai also quickly lit a stick of incense and stuck it into the ground.

"My name is Dai Mubai, a level 37 Power Attack System Soul Elder. Be careful!"

Roar—

After briefly introducing himself, Dai Mubai summoned his martial soul. The illusory figure of a white tiger appeared behind him, then finally completed Martial Soul Possession on his body.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings also appeared around Dai Mubai.

"Su Mo, level 22 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. Please enlighten me!"

Su Mo held the shaft of the Soul Hunting Spear in his right hand and struck it against the ground, giving his reply.

Buzz—

Then two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, emerged from Su Mo's body.

"Ah..."

"How is that possible..."

"..."

When they saw the configuration of Soul Rings appear around Su Mo, everyone except Lu Qibin, who already knew about it, instantly widened their eyes and stared at Su Mo in disbelief.

Even Zhao Wuji, who was holding Tang San, nearly loosened his grip and dropped him to the ground.

"That little brat is a little monster too..."

Zhao Wuji murmured in shock.

"So this guy was actually this strong?"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were also extremely surprised. They no longer dared look down on Su Mo just because his Soul Power Level was only level 22.

"You..."

Dai Mubai also stared at Su Mo in shock, nearly forgetting he was supposed to attack.

"Good kid. As expected of someone who came from the same place as Tang San!"

"I'm coming. Be careful!"

Remembering that he still had to test him, Dai Mubai forcefully suppressed the shock and curiosity in his heart and spoke seriously to Su Mo.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

Bang—

After Dai Mubai used his First Soul Skill to enhance himself, he pushed off with both feet and swung his claws as he charged at Su Mo.

After Martial Soul Possession, Dai Mubai's hands had turned clawlike as well, possessing extremely strong offensive power.

Yet in the face of Dai Mubai's fierce incoming attack, Su Mo did not even use a Soul Skill. He merely raised the Soul Hunting Spear and thrust it straight forward, blocking Dai Mubai's assault.

When a long spear fought fists and feet, naturally, it would not allow the opponent to get close.

Facing the obstruction of Su Mo's long spear, Dai Mubai's expression changed slightly. He felt as if all his movements had been seen through by Su Mo. With just a simple thrust, Su Mo had halted his offensive.

Dai Mubai could only stop, twist his body, and avoid Su Mo's attack.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—

Yet the moment Dai Mubai retreated, the Soul Hunting Spear in Su Mo's hands seized the chance to counterattack. One thrust followed another, every move and form brimming with bold ferocity as he attacked Dai Mubai again and again.

What Su Mo was using was the Overlord Spear Technique he had learned in his previous life, the Overlord Spear Technique used by the overlord Xiang Yu. It emphasized wide, sweeping moves, pressing down on the opponent like Mount Tai descending upon them.

This was because Su Mo's Soul Hunting Spear belonged to the category of rigid spears, heavy spears. Only by using this sort of Overlord Spear Technique could he better bring out the Soul Hunting Spear's advantages.

Bang, bang, bang—

Facing Su Mo's domineering attacks, Dai Mubai's expression changed again and again as his figure was forced back repeatedly.

"How is this possible..."

Dai Mubai, beaten back again and again, was filled with disbelief. He could hardly believe that under Su Mo's attacks, he was actually in such a sorry state.

"How is this possible?"

"Did they get their levels backward?"

Seeing the battle between Su Mo and Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong and the others were also shocked. They even began to suspect whether the two of them had stated their Soul Power Levels the wrong way around, and Su Mo was the one with the higher level.

"Damn it!"

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai also felt deeply humiliated. After pushing off with both legs and pulling back to create distance, he immediately used his Second Soul Skill, launching a long-range attack at Su Mo.

He had also realized it now. Against Su Mo, who used a long spear, if he could not get close, he would have a hard time dealing with him. Using a ranged attack was different.

Roar—

Then Dai Mubai placed both hands by his mouth in the shape of a megaphone and spat out a powerful golden light wave, blasting it toward Su Mo.

"Second Soul Skill: Thunderclap Strike!"

Seeing Dai Mubai's attack, a sharp light flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he instantly used his own Second Soul Skill as well.

Zzzzt, zzzzt, zzzzt—

Thin arcs of lightning intertwined over Su Mo's body. Then Su Mo's figure flashed, the Soul Hunting Spear in his hand thrusting straight toward Dai Mubai like a thunderbolt.

The spear tip was also aimed straight at the golden light wave Dai Mubai had fired.

Boom—

The Soul Hunting Spear in Su Mo's hands quickly stabbed into Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave.

To everyone's surprise, the collision between the two did not produce any powerful clash.

Instead, Dai Mubai's White Tiger Light Wave was split apart directly by Su Mo's Soul Hunting Spear like tofu, allowing Su Mo's Soul Hunting Spear to rapidly drive upstream against the White Tiger Light Wave and attack Dai Mubai himself.

"Impossible..."

Dai Mubai's eyes nearly bulged out of his head when he saw that.

They were both Second Soul Skills, so how could Su Mo's soul skill be so much stronger than his?

"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

No matter how shaken he was, at the critical moment, Dai Mubai quickly stopped his useless White Tiger Light Wave, then used his Third Soul Skill to enhance himself, preparing to block Su Mo's attack with it.
