Without Tang San's help, even without the royal family's brutal competition, Dai Mubai probably would not have measured up to his Eldest Brother.

Dai Yichen tilted his head back, narrowly dodging Dai Weisi's Fierce Light Cutting Line.

Maintaining that posture, he delivered a sweeping right kick to Dai Weisi's waist, using the momentum to flip his body over and regain his footing.

Bang!

Dai Weisi had not expected Dai Yichen to launch such a fierce counterattack under those circumstances. Caught off guard, he was kicked flying.

The several academy committee members watching in secret could not help nodding, admiration in their eyes. The Fourth Prince truly possessed extraordinary strength. His sense of balance was exceptional, and as the battle went on, his offense only became more ferocious. His Soul Power also seemed inexhaustible. They did not know whether it was merely an illusion, but this did not seem like something a person who had only recently awakened their martial soul should be capable of.

Dai Weisi quickly got back to his feet and stared viciously at Dai Yichen. "Not bad. You truly are my good little brother!"

Though Dai Weisi was shocked inside, he remained composed on the surface. He simply could not believe that a Soul Elder like himself would lose to a Soul Master who had only recently awakened his martial soul!

The Third Soul Ring on his body lit up. "White Tiger Earthshaking Quake!" Dai Weisi's Soul Power surged wildly, gathering in his hands. When he struck the ground, a powerful wave of Soul Power spread outward from him like raging tides, turning the ground into rolling waves that offered no foothold.

Even Zhu Zhuyun and the others standing at a distance were affected by this soul skill. Zhu Zhuyu could not help saying, "This is Dai Weisi's Third Soul Skill. It's extremely troublesome, and there's a second form as well. I wonder if Dai Yichen can withstand it!"

Zhu Zhuyun remained silent as she watched Dai Yichen. Dai Weisi's Third Soul Skill was extremely unique, possessing two forms. The first distorted the ground, making it impossible for others to find footing, while he himself remained unaffected.

Once his opponent adapted to the turbulent ground, like surging ocean waves, they would then face his second form. It was practically impossible to guard against.

Dai Yichen had long known the effects of Dai Weisi's soul skill. With a thought from Dai Yichen, the White Tiger Psychic Lock on his left wrist suddenly flashed.

Seeing Dai Yichen unable to gain footing as expected, Dai Weisi curled his lips into a slight smile and rushed toward him as though walking on level ground, swift and fierce, a gust of wind trailing in his wake.

Just as he came within an arm's reach of Dai Yichen, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out beside his ear. Alarm bells blared in his mind, and he instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but it was already too late. With a boom, he was sent flying by an unknown object!

The thing that appeared before everyone was none other than Tiger's Roar Flash, like a golden bolt of lightning tearing through the heavens, carrying the might of countless thunderbolts and the domineering aura of the king of tigers.

Its body moved as swiftly as a shooting star. As it sped along, a brilliant golden radiance faintly glimmered around it, like a halo formed from the manifestation of tigerly majesty.

No one had expected this strange thing to suddenly appear before them.

Dai Weisi had never felt so humiliated. His waist had been struck twice in succession. Trembling as he rose to his feet, he coldly demanded, "Dai Yichen! What is that thing? This is a match between two people, yet you're relying on external help!"

Dai Yichen looked utterly calm. "This is one of the soul skills granted by my White Tiger Armament: Tiger's Roar Flash. It is part of my own power. How could it count as external help?"

With another thought from Dai Yichen, Tiger's Roar Flash vanished instantly.

"You've already used so many soul skills. It should be my turn now, shouldn't it?"

Dai Yichen's gaze abruptly sharpened, locking tightly onto Dai Weisi. He raised his right hand high, gathering the surging white energy rushing toward it. Once the energy had accumulated to a certain extent, Dai Yichen gave a low shout. "Flash Spirit Art!" A powerful pillar of white light instantly shot toward Dai Weisi.

Dai Weisi's expression changed slightly. This soul skill made him feel a deep threat. He could not take it head-on!

The next instant, he placed his hands on the ground again, and massive rocks rose from the earth one after another. "Second form, White Tiger Earth Shattering Rise!"

Dai Weisi intended to use the boulders to seal away Dai Yichen's Flash Spirit Art, but unfortunately, the Flash Spirit Art seemed to possess a sharp, unstoppable edge. The moment those rocks touched it, they were ground into nothing!

Watching this, Dai Yichen laughed inwardly. What, did you think your White Tiger Earth Shattering Rise was Planetary Devastation?

Boom!

Left with no choice, Dai Weisi activated the White Tiger Protective Barrier once more and crossed his arms before himself to block. But the instant he came into contact with the Flash Spirit Art, an enormous explosive force sent him flying.

Dai Weisi felt a sharp pain in his chest and could not help coughing up blood.

Dai Yichen slowly walked up to Dai Weisi and said blandly, "Eldest Brother, you lost!"

The reason Dai Yichen had not used Flash Spirit Art from the beginning was that his Battle Intent had not yet reached its peak. But after engaging Dai Weisi in close combat, he only felt himself becoming braver with every clash. His blood boiled, as if he had endless strength, and he could barely feel any pain at all.

Dai Yichen did not know whether it was because the White Tiger Armament's defensive power was so great that Dai Weisi's attacks could not harm him at all, or because the trait of growing stronger in battle had made him fearless, causing excessive adrenaline secretion to dull his sense of pain.

"I won't—"

"Eldest Brother, you don't have to admit defeat. But think carefully. I feel better than ever right now. If we keep fighting, I'm afraid I won't be able to restrain my frenzied Battle Intent. Can you bear the consequences?"

As he spoke, the White Tiger Armament vanished, revealing Dai Yichen's original face. He interlocked his fingers and cracked his knuckles, producing a series of sharp pops.

When Dai Weisi met his gaze, he seemed to see the frenzied Battle Intent in Dai Yichen's eyes. Watching Dai Yichen instinctively lick the corner of his lips, fear suddenly rose in Dai Weisi's heart for no reason. This was the first time he had seen this side of Dai Yichen. He meant it!

No matter how unwilling he was, Dai Weisi could only force out three difficult words: "You won." Those words seemed to drain all his strength, causing him to collapse onto the ground. It felt as though his honor had been trampled beneath someone's feet.

He was unwilling! This was the greatest humiliation he had suffered in all his years of cultivation!

Only after dismissing his armament did Dai Yichen let out a sigh of relief. He felt that he had become somewhat crazed just now. Every cell in his body had been screaming: Fight! Fight! Only battle can make you stronger!

Was this what it meant to be born for battle and die only when wisdom was exhausted?

But honestly, Dai Yichen did not dislike this feeling. Once battle began, only by throwing himself into it completely and entering a state of self-forgetfulness could he break free of his limits and unleash his true strength. He had to admit, that feeling of fists striking flesh was truly exhilarating!

He could not help sighing inwardly. No wonder Feng Yao acted with such obsession. He had really traded away his intelligence for it!

Still, Dai Yichen was not worried about that. He could control his martial soul very well, and with the assistance of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, he could retain his sanity even amid madness. He would not behave like an idiot the way Feng Yao did!
