Qingzhu Zhu vs. Dai Mubai

"So fast!"

Although Dai Mubai had already witnessed Qingzhu Zhu's speed after obtaining her First Spirit Ring at the "Friendly Tournament" in Nuoding City, he only understood the true extent of that speed after experiencing it firsthand!

He couldn't react at all!

But!

The scratches on his right cheek and the pain aroused Dai Mubai's bestial nature. More importantly, he was injured in the first round and scratched by a girl two years younger than him, while his Father Emperor and elder brother were watching.

In that instant, he felt humiliated!

"Roar!"

Dai Mubai roared to the sky.

Sizzle!

But in that instant, Qingzhu Zhu's figure flashed past him again, tearing his clothes and leaving a shallow scratch on his right waist.

Because Dai Mubai's Soul Power was only level nineteen and his Martial Soul was not fully grown, he could not cover his entire body with the White Tiger's fur when possessing it, and it could be cut by sharp weapons.

While the claws of the Hell Spirit Cat are not as sharp as those of the White Tiger, their small size makes them even more piercing.

"Hateful!"

Dai Mubai roared, his tiger eyes fixed on Qingzhu Zhu, who left afterimages all around him. He pounced the next time she flashed past him.

But in Qingzhu Zhu's eyes, Dai Mubai's movements were too slow. She slightly turned her body and dodged, then smoothly cut a bloody mark on his left waist.

After more than ten rounds, Dai Mubai's clothes were covered with many scratches, and his skin was covered with bloody scratches.

Although the wounds were not deep, apart from the scratches on his face where blood was seeping out, the scratches on the other places looked like red marks and did not really break through Dai Mubai's defense.

"Is this Zhu Zhuqing's First Soul Skill, Netherworld Swift Shadow?"

Upon first witnessing an acceleration-type Soul Skill appear on the Nether Civet Martial Soul, Dai Tianran was also surprised. "This speed is comparable to that of the Zhu Family disciple at the Soul Elder level, but without offensive capabilities, it will ultimately be unable to truly break through Dai Mubai's defense."

"White Tiger Body Barrier!"

Feeling the pain in his body and seeing the Taunt looks from Dai Tianran and Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai became completely angry.

Qingzhu Zhu's attacks did not cause much damage, but were extremely insulting.

Therefore, he used his First Soul Skill!

The First Spirit Ring surrounding Dai Mubai flickered, and white light emerged from Dai Mubai's body, forming a white light shield that protected his form.

This First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Barrier, although it has the word "protective" in its name, is not actually a defensive skill. Instead, it is an enhancement and amplification skill that can strengthen the body by nearly 50%.

His increased physical strength also restored Dai Mubai's confidence. He gave Qingzhu Zhu an arrogant look and beckoned to her, signaling her to attack again.

Qingzhu Zhu remained unmoved, staying put as if she wanted to waste time with Dai Mubai.

This is to conserve Soul Power.

"You're not taking the initiative to attack, are you thinking about how to deal with me? You won't have that chance!"

Dai Mubai roared and leaped up like a tiger descending a mountain, rushing towards Qingzhu Zhu.

The enhancement of his physical attributes also increased Dai Mubai's speed.

but--

Qingzhu Zhu took the initiative to move forward. Just as she was about to be hit by Dai Mubai's claws, she leaned back instantly, dodging Dai Mubai's attack, and continued to slide forward, grabbing Dai Mubai's ankle with her claws.

Snap!

Dai Mubai's forward lunge faltered, he lost his balance, and his head hit the ground.

Qingzhu Zhu gained the upper hand with a sliding tackle!

This move is also an imitation of Wang Sheng's action of knocking a controlled Soul Grandmaster to the ground during Friendly Tournament.

While Dai Mubai was dizzy after his head hit the ground, Qingzhu Zhu immediately grabbed Dai Mubai's arms behind his waist, pressed down on the back of his head, and shouted to Dai Tianran, "I won!"

"The winner is Zhu Zhuqing."

Dai Tianran announced the results with a gloomy expression.

Before the competition began, he had planned what would happen if Dai Mubai lost, but when Dai Mubai actually lost to Zhu Zhuqing, he found it hard to accept!

How could the White Tiger lose to the Hell Spirit Cat?

[Dai Mubai! You have disgraced the White Tiger Martial Soul!]

Although Qingzhu Zhu won this contest by taking a shortcut, Dai Mubai ultimately lost, and Dai Tianran had no choice but to keep his promise.

Qingzhu Zhu borrowed paper and pen from the study in the back garden, wrote a letter of divorce, and stuffed it into Dai Mubai's arms, who was still in shock from "losing to his fiancée." She said, "I have unilaterally divorced you. Don't bother me if you have something to do, and don't bother me if you don't have anything to do."

"A letter of divorce?"

When Dai Mubai's gaze refocused, Qingzhu Zhu had already bid farewell to Dai Tianran and left the back garden. Dai Tianran also turned and left, leaving only him and Dai Weisi by the fish pond.

Sizzle!

Dai Mubai angrily tore up the letter of divorce, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it forcefully into the fishpond, splashing a little water and startling the ornamental fish in the pond.

"A letter of divorce! A letter of divorce! If anyone should be divorced, it should be me! When did it become a girl's turn? Why would Father Emperor agree to this? This is absolutely a huge joke!"

"It was definitely a joke."

Dai Weisi said meaningfully, "If you continue to be a playboy, you might have to rely on women when you actually face me in the future."

Dai Mubai trembled with anger, but when he saw Dai Weisi's sharp eyes, he shuddered and dared not utter a word. He could only run away as if fleeing.

Dai Weisi's eyes turned completely cold. "You're hopeless, Mu Bai. It seems Father Emperor's plans are going to fail..."

That afternoon.

The news that Dai Mubai lost to his fiancée and was even divorced by her spread throughout the Star Luo Royal Academy.

The students dared not discuss it in front of Dai Mubai, but in private they treated it as a topic that seemed to never end, either Taunt or teasing him.

The person who suffered the most was Dai Mubai, and because all the maids in his house had been replaced by male servants, he had no way to vent his frustrations.

However, the other protagonist in this story, Zhu Zhuqing, gained a group of fans in the academy. After all, many noble children are forced into marriage by their families and parents after reaching a certain age, and they have little choice but to do so for the sake of their families and interests.

Zhu Zhuqing's actions have clearly opened a completely new door for them!

"Zhu Zhuqing, aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?"

The Zhu Family.

After learning about this, Zhu Zhuyun found Qingzhu Zhu, "Dai Mubai is the Third Prince, after all. Is it really okay for you to embarrass him like this?"

"I think it's alright." Qingzhu Zhu smiled broadly. "I can do whatever I want. Anyway, I'm quite happy now and don't need to worry about anything."

"Hey, I have to warn you, until you truly have the power to control your own destiny, your fate is still tied to Dai Mubai's." Zhu Zhuyun lowered her eyes, her face serious. "Don't take Zhou Qing's words too seriously; he's just an ordinary person."

"But he has everything I don't—"

A free and easy lifestyle doesn't require too many constraints of etiquette...

The fireflies in the jungle at night were a sight she had never seen before...

Zhou Qing's gentleness and humor are also admirable, enviable, and even captivating...

All of this made Qingzhu Zhu stare straight into Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. "Sister, if you are willing to accept your fate, I can only wish you and brother-in-law well, but I have seen a much broader view!"

If she hadn't met Zhou Qing and the others, she might have made the same choice as her sister in the future and competed with her, just to... survive.

Despite her young age, she had already sensed the fate she would face in the future.

But now!

She found another path:

[Escape!]

When Qingzhu Zhu chose to use the Shadow Cat as her First Spirit Ring Shadow Swift Cat, she was still a little hesitant. But after obtaining the First Spirit Ring, possessing the Netherworld Swift Shadow, and having a speed even faster than Zhu Zhuyun, she no longer regretted it!

This is her choice!

She is different from Dai Mubai. His choice to escape is cowardly because he cares about what others think.

And I... can't completely ignore other people's opinions, but at least for now I'm trying to learn to ignore them!

Moreover, she chose to escape in order to pursue even greater speed, to pursue speed that surpasses everything!

Then, you gain freedom!

And then, do what you want to do...
