The Difference Between a Pound of Iron and a Pound of Cotton, Dai Yichen Even Borrows Strengths!

Silence was the reason no one would sleep tonight.

No one present, including Zhu Zhuyun, who was relatively familiar with Dai Yichen, had believed that Dai Yichen would win. Yet the result had slapped them all in the face—Dai Yichen had won, and with astonishing ease!

In the air.

The academy's Three Great Education Committees exchanged glances and fell silent. They no longer knew what words could express the shock in their hearts. After cultivating for so many years, this was the first time they had ever witnessed such a situation.

"Um, should we report this news back to Your Majesty? The imperial physician he assigned to treat the Fourth Prince is still waiting, but from the looks of it, the one needing treatment may need to be changed."

Dai Yichen looked at Dai Weisi sitting on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he still extended a hand. "Eldest Brother, I don't care what you're thinking, but I only want to tell you this: fair competition is fine, but I don't want you playing any underhanded tricks in secret. Your talent is impressive, but that isn't a reason for you to be arrogant!"

Dai Weisi snorted coldly and slapped away Dai Yichen's outstretched right hand before getting to his feet himself. The pride in his heart would not allow him to appear so weak!

"Just you wait. This was only our first clash. I was careless this time, but next time, I won't lose!" Dai Weisi shot Dai Yichen a cold glance, then left alone without looking back.

Dai Yichen clicked his tongue. Out of the basic decency he had retained from his previous life as an ordinary person, he had decided to lend a hand. Who would have thought it would be so ruthlessly slapped away?

A battle like today's was nothing unusual within the royal family. As for whether he had developed any disgust or dissatisfaction toward Dai Weisi, there was a little, but not much. After all, this was part of the normal process. As long as Dai Weisi did not make a move against him in secret, he could not be bothered to care.

Taking the initiative to cause trouble was not in his nature. Rather than waste time on that, he might as well cultivate more and spend more time building a relationship with the Zhu family sisters. Cultivation required a balance between work and rest, after all.

Dai Weisi: So this was what you had in mind! You already wanted to cuckold me, and you still expected me to be nice to you?

Dai Yichen felt that feelings between men and women came from mutual attraction. If Zhu Zhuyun truly liked Dai Weisi, then he naturally would not force anything. A twisted melon was not sweet, even if it quenched thirst. Besides, why would he pass up so many sweet melons just to force himself to eat one that was not sweet?

Zhu Zhuyun did not pay any attention to Dai Weisi, who had already left. Instead, she walked up to Dai Yichen, unsure what expression she should wear.

"Younger Brother Yichen, I didn't expect you to really win?"

Dai Yichen nodded. "Mm, I was just lucky. Eldest Brother was careless this time, so I only had the chance to win because of that."

He said it modestly, but aside from Dai Mubai, none of the people present were fools.

Was Dai Weisi careless? They did not think so. At the very least, he had already used all the soul skills at his disposal, yet he had still lost in the end.

Dai Yichen, on the other hand, did not have a single injury on him, and he seemed to be in exceptionally good condition.

Dai Yuxuan stepped forward with a bitter smile. "I even worried about you just now. Can you tell me—was that thing called Tiger's Roar Flash really your soul skill?"

Dai Yichen answered honestly, "Mm. My martial soul is rather special. Apart from allowing me to equip armor for battle, it can also summon a mount."

After saying that, Dai Yichen smiled. "Second Brother, now that I've defeated Eldest Brother, don't you have any new thoughts about me?"

A bitter expression appeared on Dai Yuxuan's face. He knew what Dai Yichen meant and could only say helplessly, "No particular thoughts. You're a few years younger than me. In a few more years, it will be my turn to fight Eldest Brother. Zhuyu and I can only do our best."

At the thought that failure would mean, at best, having their soul power crippled, the two of them could not help but feel dejected. But since they had been born into the royal family, they had no choice of their own.

Zhu Zhuyun's lips moved, but she did not say anything. Everything would get better.

Not long afterward, Dai Yichen returned to the luxurious single dormitory assigned to him by the academy. He began writing today's diary while watching the recorded battle footage and silently reviewing the fight in his mind.

That was right. He had started recording the moment the battle began. This was his first time fighting someone with soul power so far above his own. There were bound to have been immature moments during the battle, and this footage would help him recognize some of his shortcomings.

Today was the day of registration for Star Luo Royal Academy. I didn't expect my three brothers to come with me to the academy. There's no need to think about it—there's a high chance that my cheap father was behind this. Of course, it might also be because I defeated Dai Mubai a few days ago and caught the attention of the other two.

Sure enough, on the way to the academy, Dai Weisi came looking for trouble. He was already impatient to suppress me. He had originally given me a month to prepare, but how could I possibly agree? So, after the academy business was settled this evening, we began our battle!

After cultivating for a while, I've brought both the "Psychic Energy Cultivation Method" and the "Star Observation Method" to the beginner level. Although I only have sixteen levels of soul power right now, both the quality and quantity of my soul power are more than twice that of others at the same level. If I had to convert it, then my current Soul Power Level should be at least that of a mid-to-high-level Soul Grandmaster.

And as my mastery of the "Psychic Energy Cultivation Method" deepens, the quality and quantity of the soul power inside me will continue to improve! Today, I finally experienced the White Tiger Psychic Lock's trait of becoming braver the more it fights. Sure enough, it can make someone more battle-hungry. As the battle went on, I felt as though I had endless strength, and my power was constantly increasing!

That Flash Spirit Art I unleashed at the end had completely reached the power of a Soul Elder. It was basically impossible for Dai Weisi to block it with the White Tiger Protective Barrier. If his Third Soul Skill had been the same White Tiger Vajra Transformation as Dai Mubai's in the original work, then there might have been a sliver of a chance.

My Flash Spirit Art seems to carry a metallic cutting attribute and naturally has an armor-piercing effect. If someone wants to block it with nothing more than an ordinary soul power shield, that would be rather laughable!

Still, it was fortunate that I recorded the battle footage today, so I can review it. I still have too few offensive methods. When I fought Dai Weisi hand-to-hand, I had no real technique at all. If I knew martial techniques like palm strikes or fist arts, perhaps I could deal with things more easily. Also, I have too little actual combat experience. Whenever I have free time these next few days, I'll go train in the Mimetic Cultivation Room. I just hope the beasts it simulates won't disappoint me too much!

I've realized that I seem to be starting to enjoy battle—the thrill of my blood boiling and my heart racing during a fight! Fuck, am I gradually turning into some kind of pervert? I used to be a model young man, you know. But whatever, as long as I stay true to myself. Hehe!

Naturally, the female leads scattered across different places also saw the video Dai Yichen had just recorded.

Originally, they had all believed that no matter how formidable Dai Yichen was, he could not possibly be Dai Weisi's opponent. But it seemed they had underestimated Dai Yichen's martial soul.

There was also that so-called Psychic Energy Cultivation Method. Only after watching this battle did they discover the true strength of this cultivation technique. It appeared to provide little help to Dai Yichen's cultivation, but in reality, its benefits were enormous.

It allowed him to build a solid foundation and fight above his level. No, fight across several ranks!

Even someone as powerful as Bibi Dong, despite possessing Twin Martial Souls, did not believe that she could defeat a Soul Elder when she only had soul power in the teens!

At the same level, the difference between Dai Yichen's soul power and that of others was like the difference between a pound of iron and a pound of cotton.

Though both weighed a pound, iron had far greater density and value than cotton.

What was more, Dai Yichen's soul power now possessed both the quality of iron and the quantity of cotton. That was even more terrifying!

Spirit Hall.

After around ten days of recuperation, the nine soul rings on Bibi Dong's First Martial Soul had fully recovered. During this time, while her disciple Hu Liena came to care for her, Bibi Dong also discovered that Hu Liena possessed a Diary Copy as well!

It would have been one thing if only Qian Renxue had a Diary Copy, but now even her disciple had one. What if Dai Yichen revealed some of her dark history in the future? What was she supposed to do then?

Most things would be manageable, but regarding Qian Xunji... Qian Renxue had always believed that Tang Hao had severely wounded him, leading to his death. Yet the true murderer had actually been Bibi Dong herself.

After returning from the City of Slaughter, the Rakshasa God's first trial had been for her to use the power of Rakshasa to devour Qian Xunji, the man who had violated her. Naturally, she had not found that difficult to do. At the time, her hatred for Qian Xunji had already clouded her mind.

As for Qian Renxue, if Qian Daoliu had not protected her and even sent her to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out a mission, Bibi Dong did not know when she might have lost control and attacked her.

But as time passed, Bibi Dong realized that she had developed some strange feelings toward Qian Renxue. There had been several times when they met that she had wanted to call out to her affectionately, but the moment she recalled what had happened before, rage immediately clouded her mind again.

And now, if Qian Renxue learned from Dai Yichen's diary that her father had died by Bibi Dong's hand, the conflict between the two of them would probably erupt at once, wouldn't it? What would she do then?

From the moment Bibi Dong learned that Qian Renxue possessed a Diary Copy, she had thought of many things. Her mind was in turmoil, and she was grateful that what Dai Yichen had written over the past few days had merely been ordinary daily matters and had not mentioned her.

"Nana, what do you think of Dai Yichen's strength?" Bibi Dong composed herself and asked Hu Liena beside her without any change in expression.

Today was also the opening day of Martial Soul Hall Academy. However, Hu Liena had returned after completing her registration.

"Teacher, if we fought head-on, I definitely wouldn't be his match. Dai Yichen himself said that his normal strength was actually about the same as a Soul Grandmaster's, but that was only his soul power. If his mental energy hasn't reached the level of a Soul Grandmaster or even a Soul Elder, then I might have a chance against him," Hu Liena said softly after a moment of silence.

Like Dai Weisi, she was currently a Soul Elder. Her path focused on Spirit Bewitchment, so her mental energy far surpassed her own Soul Power Level. Yet even so, she had no confidence that she could defeat Dai Yichen.

Because Dai Yichen's second Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes cultivated mental energy, and he also possessed a so-called Mental Energy Cultivation Method.
