"Zhu Zhuqing, if you come back to my side now, I can forgive you."

"Pah! Who's forgiving who here? You attempted rapist!"

Hearing Dai Mubai's shameless words, Zhu Zhuqing had yet to speak when Ning Rongrong spat first.

"Fight."

Zhu Zhuqing was ruthless and sparing with words. Strength was the only truth that decided who had the right to speak.

Martial Soul Possession!

The instant the Hell Spirit Cat possessed her, Zhu Zhuqing's entire aura changed.

She was like a Dark Maiden who had walked out of hell.

Yellow, yellow, and purple—three spirit rings appeared beneath her feet.

Three rings. Soul Elder!

Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang's heart shook. This girl looked several years younger than her granddaughter, yet she was already a three-ring Soul Elder.

And she could sense that the Third Soul Ring this girl had manifested was of extremely high quality, much stronger than a normal Soul Elder's Third Soul Ring.

"No wonder you dare fight me. So you've just absorbed your Third Soul Ring. But it's useless. There's still a gap of seven ranks between us."

Dai Mubai snorted.

"Boss Dai, don't be careless."

Tang San could not help reminding him.

"I know what I'm doing." Dai Mubai nodded.

A little over a month ago, on the back mountain of Shrek, Zhu Zhuqing had been forced by him to jump off a cliff to save herself. He refused to believe this Peach Blossom Spring Academy was really that bizarre, able to make her strength advance by leaps and bounds in just one month.

White Tiger Possession!

The same configuration of yellow, yellow, and purple spirit rings also appeared beneath Dai Mubai's feet.

"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai took the initiative to attack. Intense white light shot from his mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing moved, her figure darting through the forest like a ghost, and Dai Mubai's light wave could not hit her at all.

First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!

When Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared again, she was right behind Dai Mubai's side.

"White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier!"

Dai Mubai's body jolted fiercely, and a shield marked with white tiger patterns covered him, actually blocking Zhu Zhuqing's thrust. His large hands followed the momentum and reached to grab Zhu Zhuqing's hand and restrain her.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing's reaction speed and agility had long since become incomparable to a month ago. With a slight turn of her wrist, she cleverly avoided Dai Mubai's grapple, leaned back, kicked Dai Mubai's fist, and her body had already leapt dozens of meters away.

Dai Mubai rubbed his slightly trembling wrist, his pair of Double Pupils almost overlapping as he said:

"Zhu Zhuqing, it's useless. What Agile Attack System Soul Masters fear most is defense, let alone me, who cultivates both defense and assault."

"This White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier of mine was absorbed specifically to restrain the agile attacks of you Hell Spirit Cats. In the future, if we join hands against Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi, this White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier will increase our winning chance."

"If you turn back now, there's still time."

Dai Mubai said in a low voice.

"If you'd said that to me a month ago, I might really have been deceived by you. I might not even have taken Teacher as my master."

"But now, that's already impossible. Even if I don't join hands with you, I'll still win all the same. Besides, that's a struggle within your Dai Family. It has nothing to do with me. Sooner or later, I'll go break off this engagement."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly. At this moment, her Dao Heart was firm.

"Third Soul Skill, Hell Cross Slash!"

The purple spirit ring on Zhu Zhuqing's body flashed. At this moment, her aura actually underwent a faint transformation, as if she had become an envoy walking out of hell.

At the same time, a strange Hell Six-Pointed Star pattern appeared beneath Dai Mubai's feet.

Two extremely powerful black-red cross slashes surged in front of her, their deterrent force pushed to the limit.

Seeing this cross slash, Zhao Wuji, Tang San, Chao Tianxiang, and the others were all startled. The aura this soul skill gave off was truly terrifying, no weaker than a normal Soul Ancestor's Fourth Soul Skill.

"What's going on? Why can't I move?"

Even Dai Mubai's face filled with terror, but just as he was about to dodge, he realized he could not move at all and could only remain within the six-pointed star pattern beneath his feet.

"Grandma, what's going on? Dai Mubai seems unable to dodge?"

"This should be a control soul skill, but I also find it a little strange. Any control soul skill, especially for low- and mid-level Soul Masters, requires some kind of contact—martial soul contact, soul skill contact... there should be time to predict it. But I didn't see her martial soul make contact. This six-pointed star appeared instantly, with no time to avoid it at all... Wait, could it have been just now!"

"Boss Dai has been hit."

Tang San also figured out the reason at this moment.

"Third Brother, what happened?"

"I don't know the effect of Zhu Zhuqing's soul skill, but I think she must have used that Hell Stab just now to leave something like a Control Mark on Boss Dai."

As a Control System Soul Master himself, Tang San saw the clue.

Su Ran gave Tang San a calm glance. This Tang San truly was worthy of having lived two lives; his insight was indeed sharper than that of ordinary people.

The Bloodthirsty Hell Wolf Su Ran had specially chosen for Zhu Zhuqing had brought her the Third Soul Skill, Hell Cross Slash. It could briefly elevate Zhu Zhuqing's power of the netherworld into the power of hell, allowing her to unleash a cross slash with immense dark destructive force, while also summoning the Hell Six-Pointed Star. Anyone within the Hell Six-Pointed Star would take 30% more damage from the cross slash.

If the opponent had been marked by Zhu Zhuqing's other skills, it would also produce a powerful control effect—Six-Pointed Star Death Immobilization.

After being immobilized by the Six-Pointed Star Death Immobilization, the opponent would be unable to move for three seconds.

By the time Dai Mubai noticed a needle-sized wound had appeared on his body, radiating a dark-black glow, he no longer had time to think about why Zhu Zhuqing had broken through his defense.

"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier!"

Dai Mubai reacted quickly as well. In that instant, he cast two skills on himself: one Vajra Transformation that could greatly enhance his physical attributes, and another shield.

But even so, when the Hell Cross Slash swept past, his body slammed away with a boom, flying straight back. Along its path, several towering trees were cut cleanly in half.

"Boss Dai!"

Everyone from Shrek turned pale with shock.

When they found Dai Mubai among the forest, a horrifying cross-shaped wound had appeared in the center of his chest, extending all the way to his arms and lower abdomen. His flesh was mangled, and he was already badly injured.

Pfft—

Then he spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Teacher, I did it! I really did it!"

"That skill just now was the new soul skill I obtained. It's called Hell Cross Slash!"

"I only used one month to surpass Dai Mubai. This is all because you taught me so well, Teacher. You're the best, most amazing teacher in the whole world! I love you to death!"

On this side, it was also Zhu Zhuqing's first time using Hell Cross Slash, and she had directly defeated Dai Mubai.

Wild with joy, she ran up to Su Ran and couldn't help kissing him on his mask.

"Zhu Zhuqing! What are you doing!!!!"

When Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing excitedly kiss Su Ran on the mask, her eyes went wide and her face turned green. She was even more agitated than Zhu Zhuqing.
