If it weren't for Zhu Qing, I wouldn't even spare trash like Dai Mubai a glance. I'd only treat him like a stray dog by the roadside.

But since he dared deceive Zhu Qing and made her suffer so much in her past life, of course I couldn't let him off. I had to vent this anger for Zhu Qing!

The two lines that appeared in the diary made Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu look at Luo Ye simultaneously.

Xiao Wu was doing relatively fine. As an outsider merely watching from the sidelines, although this greatly improved Luo Ye's image in her heart, that was all.

But Zhu Zhuqing, as the person directly involved, was instantly deeply moved upon seeing those words.

The more Luo Ye showed that he cared for her, the more Dai Mubai resembled a clown. Zhu Zhuqing's inner scales had already tipped toward Luo Ye, and now Dai Mubai had become utterly worthless.

Dai Mubai did not take Luo Ye seriously at all. The other party looked younger than him, and as a monster certified by Shrek Academy, he was confident that no one his age could rival him. He said arrogantly, "The two of you can come at me together. I'm in a hurry."

After saying that, Dai Mubai turned and leered at the pair of twin sisters. His intentions could not have been more obvious.

Seeing this, Luo Ye silently gave him a thumbs-up.

With Dai Mubai acting like this, Luo Ye really ought to thank him properly. Without his assistance, even with the diary, winning Zhu Zhuqing's heart would have been extremely difficult.

The facts proved it. Zhu Zhuqing was furious as she looked at Dai Mubai, but her anger came and went quickly, and she soon calmed down again.

Since she had already decided to void the engagement, it no longer had anything to do with her who Dai Mubai got involved with.

Luo Ye could guess what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking. In order to further cement Dai Mubai's image as trash in her mind, he decisively said, "You? I can handle you myself. No need to dirty her hands."

Luo Ye deliberately did not say Zhu Zhuqing's name, preventing Dai Mubai from discovering her identity for now. He would give him a surprise when they went to Shrek Academy tomorrow.

Not knowing the truth, Dai Mubai saw that Luo Ye was looking down on him and naturally flew into a rage. A vicious gleam flashed in his double pupils as he said coldly, "Then come on!"

Since he wanted to make a grand display, Dai Mubai chose to go all out from the start. He let out a low roar. "White Tiger, Possession!"

Pale white light suddenly erupted from his body. Dai Mubai spread both arms to his sides and thrust out his chest as his entire skeleton crackled. Every muscle beneath his clothes became strikingly pronounced.

After releasing his martial soul, Dai Mubai's golden hair turned black and white. Four faint markings appeared on his forehead—three horizontal lines and one vertical line, forming the character for king.

Most astonishingly, three soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet: two yellow and one purple, displaying his identity as a Three-Ring Soul Elder.

"A Three-Ring Soul Elder, and he even has a thousand-year soul ring!"

Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he was quite surprised inwardly.

Who would have thought that such a small place as Suotuo City hid a genius like this?

Faced with an opponent like him, how would that guy respond?

Would he immediately admit defeat and surrender, or continue to fight head-on regardless of the cost?

Tang San looked at Luo Ye with curiosity written across his face, only to find that Luo Ye's expression had not changed in the slightest. It was as though he did not take Dai Mubai seriously at all.

Did he have enough strength to back it up, or had he been scared stupid?

While Tang San was puzzled, the transformed Dai Mubai spoke in a much deeper voice. "Dai Mubai, White Tiger martial soul, Level 37 Battle Soul Elder. Please instruct me!"

A Level 37 Soul Elder might not amount to much elsewhere, but in a small place like Suotuo City, he still exerted considerable pressure.

At the very least, the manager and waiters of the Rose Hotel were currently trembling in fear.

Yet Luo Ye, who faced this pressure directly, merely looked at him calmly. Flecks of golden light appeared in his deep blue eyes.

The next second, a sight that horrified everyone unfolded.

Three soul rings likewise appeared beneath Luo Ye's feet. Yet unlike Dai Mubai's, all three of Luo Ye's soul rings were a vivid blood-red!

"Luo Ye, Spirit Eyes martial soul, Level 31."

As Luo Ye's words fell, a terrifying aura swept out. The manager, waiters, and the pair of twin sisters could not withstand it and fainted directly to the floor.

Dai Mubai, who stood opposite Luo Ye, naturally bore the brunt of it. Under that terrifying pressure, his legs trembled uncontrollably. Unable to hold on, he dropped to his knees with a bang.

If he had not braced himself against the ground with both hands, he would probably have already collapsed face-first onto the floor, unable to move.

"Impossible! How is this possible?!"

The one who cried out was not Dai Mubai. At that moment, let alone speaking, he was only barely managing to remain on his knees and was close to passing out.

Tang San and Xiao Wu stared fixedly at Luo Ye's soul rings. Both of them looked as if their entire worldview had been shattered, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.

What did red soul rings signify?

They signified a hundred-thousand-year level!

A Three-Ring Soul Elder with three red soul rings—who the hell would dare believe that upon seeing it?!

Luo Ye ignored Tang San and stepped toward Dai Mubai. Looking at Dai Mubai's violently trembling body and the bead-sized drops of cold sweat constantly falling from his forehead, he said coldly, "Tell me now. Do you still dare fight us for the room?"

The aura emanating from Luo Ye was like that of an ancient Fierce Beast, making Dai Mubai feel as though he could barely breathe. He experienced the taste of death firsthand.

The pride in his heart was utterly crushed. He did not even have the courage to look up and face Luo Ye. Gathering all his strength, he struggled to say, "N-No, I don't..."

Dai Mubai might have appeared arrogant and proud on the surface, but he was actually very afraid of death. Especially after sensing the insurmountable gap between himself and Luo Ye, he could not muster even the slightest thought of resisting.

If he had truly been brave, he would never have abandoned Zhu Zhuqing and fled by himself in the first place.

Now that he faced Luo Ye, whose three soul rings were all at the hundred-thousand-year level, meekly surrendering and begging for mercy was entirely in line with his character.

However, Luo Ye clearly had no intention of letting him off so easily. His third soul ring flashed, and Soul Impact—one of the four soul skills Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had given him—activated, slamming fiercely into Dai Mubai.

Buzz!

The invisible Spiritual Power attack left Dai Mubai unable even to make a sound as he immediately collapsed into unconsciousness.

But when they saw scarlet blood continuously pouring from the corners of Dai Mubai's eyes, mouth, and even his ear holes—

Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Tang San all instantly realized that this was Luo Ye's brutal handiwork.
