Fire at Dai Mubai

"Kid, you dared to get distracted while fighting me, Dai Mubai!"

Dai Mubai looked at Tang San's one white and one yellow Soul Rings and sneered.

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? With those two trash Soul Rings, you think you can play the hero and save the beauty? More like a mutt throwing its life away!"

"I didn't expect you to be done for after just one hit."

Tang San was on both knees, drool running from the corner of his mouth. He looked like he had almost been played to death.

Dai Mubai was starting to panic. This kid had better not die from that one blow. He was not afraid of Tang San, but if Tang San died here, he would be in serious trouble too. He did not have the nerve to kill someone in the street in Suotuo City.

But Tang San slowly got to his feet and moved beside Xiao Wu. Looking at her firmly, he said, "Xiao Wu, no one can hurt you. If they want to hurt you, they'll have to step over my corpse first!"

Seeing that Tang San still had the leisure to flirt, Dai Mubai relaxed and continued speaking to Xiao Wu.

"Little sister, how about coming upstairs with your big brother for some fun? As a young Soul Elder, I guarantee I won't treat you badly."

Xiao Wu looked worriedly at Li Chen, her eyes seeming to ask, What should we do?

Xiao Wu had spent all these years playing with Li Chen and had only just reached the rank of Soul Grandmaster. Though Li Chen's level and strength were greater than hers, she had no idea by how much.

But she was certain that Li Chen was also a Soul Grandmaster. She did not know whether he could defeat this hooligan.

Li Chen knew it was time for his performance. He stepped forward.

"Li Chen, Level 27 Assault Type Battle Soul Master. Martial Soul: Soul Cannon. Please enlighten me."

Li Chen was fairly confident in his own strength. He also knew that if he wanted to stir things up at Shrek Academy in the future, he first had to beat everyone at Shrek Academy into submission. After all, this was a world where strength ruled!

After absorbing two Soul Rings, Li Chen's Soul Cannon had grown to seventy centimeters long. Its barrel had thickened by a full circle, and its entire body had turned purplish red. It was also decorated with images of a Mandala Snake and a Flame Lion.

Contempt appeared in Dai Mubai's eyes again.

"A Level 27 Soul Grandmaster? I thought you were a Level 37 Soul Elder. Even if you were a Soul Elder, you still wouldn't qualify to challenge me. This young master is a monster!"

Dai Mubai clearly had no intention of announcing his Martial Soul or level. During a Soul Master battle, that was extremely impolite behavior.

But as a red glow gradually rose from the muzzle of Li Chen's Soul Cannon, he sensed a trace of danger.

"White Tiger Possession!"

Dai Mubai was clearly taking Li Chen much more seriously. When fighting Tang San, he had not even summoned his Martial Soul.

Li Chen slowly said, "Second Soul Skill, Big Daisy Flower!"

Dai Mubai's expression turned strange. "Big Daisy Flower?"

What kind of thing was that? Generally, after a Soul Master obtained a Soul Ring, they would naturally know the name of their Soul Skill.

And the power of a Soul Skill generally matched its name. The stronger the Soul Skill, the flashier its name would be.

What the hell kind of name was that?

Looks like this one's in the bag.

Not only was Dai Mubai a little confused, even Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were watching the battle, were bewildered. They had never heard the name of Li Chen's Soul Skill. Tang San had simply never paid attention, while Xiao Wu had once asked, only for Li Chen to tell her that his Soul Skill had no name.

The twin sisters and the young, beautiful waitress watching from afar all wore regretful expressions.

They were not facing Li Chen's cannon directly, so they did not feel much pressure. But they all knew that if a Soul Skill had an unimpressive name, it was probably not very powerful. This handsome young man was only a Soul Grandmaster, and his Second Soul Skill was already his strongest skill.

The young girls all closed their eyes at once, because they did not want to see such a handsome boy get knocked down.

Although Dai Mubai was handsome too, Li Chen's handsomeness was on an entirely different level!

"Boom!"

Li Chen cleanly fired a shell empowered by his Second Soul Skill. This time, he had poured a full fifty percent of his Soul Power into it!

After a tremendous explosion, everyone saw only a blackened figure lying on the ground outside. His clothes had been blasted to tatters, revealing eight sharply defined abdominal muscles.

"Wow!"

"Who is that?"

"Looks like Young Master Dai!"

"Young Master Dai Mubai, so handsome! Are we really allowed to see this without paying?"

The Rose Hotel was located in the bustling district of Suotuo City, with an endless stream of carriages and horses outside.

Young women, wives, older ladies, and grandmothers passing by saw a figure fly out from the hotel entrance. They were startled at first, but someone soon recognized the identity of the young man with his upper body half bare.

"Dai Mubai is a Soul Elder, and I heard he's the young master of some wealthy family. Just who did he provoke today to get beaten like this?"

"What a pity, what a pity. Such a handsome young man!"

Two older ladies outside whispered to each other. On Douluo Continent, what woman did not harbor romantic feelings, even if they were fifty- or sixty-year-old Spinster Daughters!

"Don't, don't pity him. Look inside!"

"Gasp! There's actually a man in this world more handsome than Dai Mubai."

The romance-struck middle-aged women who had been whispering immediately stopped pitying Dai Mubai when they saw Li Chen.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Dai Mubai slowly got to his feet and walked up to Li Chen.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Li Chen looked at Dai Mubai and spoke calmly.

Dai Mubai bowed to Li Chen and Xiao Wu. "You two truly are young geniuses. To defeat me as Soul Grandmasters... I, Dai Mubai, misjudged you."

Dai Mubai took out a black card from his Soul Tool and handed it to Li Chen.

"There are ten thousand Gold Soul Coins in this. You can exchange it at any Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shop. Consider it a small apology from me. We can say no friendship without a fight—how about being friends?"

Dai Mubai was a tiger, not an idiot.

For a Soul Grandmaster to defeat him, they had to be a genius disciple secretly raised by some major power. There were surely experts above the rank of Soul Douluo secretly protecting them nearby. If he did not give them an explanation today, he might not be able to leave this door alive.

Li Chen accepted the card, then looked at Xiao Wu.

Li Chen thought that if it were only for his own plans, he would naturally take this chance to make peace, then slowly make use of Dai Mubai. But Dai Mubai had insulted Xiao Wu earlier. Beating Dai Mubai up had counted as venting Xiao Wu's anger.

But whether to forgive him still depended on what Xiao Wu wanted.

The moment Xiao Wu saw Li Chen's look, she understood that he was asking for her opinion, and warmth immediately filled her heart.

Then she said to Dai Mubai, "I'll forgive you for what happened today, but you have to give this room to us!"
