Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, and I Crushed Tang San — Chapter 18

Dai Mubai's temper flared. He had been ignored twice in a row—did he have no pride at all?

He had to find out who this person was!

He pulled his right hand free from the twin girls and reached out to grab Zhu Zhuqing's arm.

"You're a grown man. Isn't this a little inappropriate?"

Xiao Tian grabbed Dai Mubai's hand.

If Dai Mubai had not tried to lay a hand on her, Xiao Tian would not have wanted to meddle. But the system's prompts had been ringing nonstop in his mind just now.

He had wanted to save this fight for tomorrow, but it seemed Dai Mubai could not wait any longer!

Ding! Warning! Warning! War God Dai Mubai has been detected approaching and has come into conflict with his wife, the God of Speed. The host is advised not to meddle and should stay away from the area of conflict. Otherwise, the War God can slap you to death with one hand. For this system's performance rating, host, you'd better watch yourself!

Xiao Tian: ...

When Xiao Tian heard those words in his mind, he truly could not help wanting to laugh. This Scumbag System really dared to say anything.

What would he get if he beat this so-called War God black and blue right now?

Dai Mubai's expression abruptly changed as he said viciously, "Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This is between her and me!"

Xiao Tian looked at Dai Mubai teasingly, while the force in his hand gradually increased.

Hiss!

Dai Mubai felt as though his hand was about to break. Instinctively, he used his Soul Power and directly knocked Xiao Tian's hand away.

He stared at Xiao Tian solemnly. "Who exactly are you? And why are you with Zhuqing?"

Zhu Zhuqing stopped in her tracks as she was about to return to her room and said coldly, "Enough, Dai Mubai! Don't you think this is embarrassing?"

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat afraid that Dai Mubai would attack Xiao Tian. Although Xiao Wu had told her that Xiao Tian was very strong and already a Soul Elder, Dai Mubai was three years older than them. He was surely a Soul Elder too, and his strength was very likely above Xiao Tian's!

Dai Mubai took a slight step back. Ignoring Zhu Zhuqing, he fixed his blazing gaze on Xiao Tian and said darkly, "Kid, consider yourself unlucky. I'm in a terrible mood right now. How about I beat you up? Hahaha!"

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul Evil-Eyed White Tiger, Level 38 Battle Soul Master!"

Although he often used to come out and indulge himself, ever since the dean returned from a trip half a year ago, he had become much stricter. Unless they trained for the required amount of time each day, they were not allowed to leave Shrek Academy at all.

As a result, he had come out far less often over the past half year than before. Since enrollment would begin tomorrow, the dean had given them an extra day off today, and he had been in an excellent mood.

He had just arranged to meet two twin girls and was preparing to enjoy himself, only to run into this mess.

His fiancée had caught him in the middle of something improper. He had initially felt a little guilty, but then Xiao Tian stepped in, and his own fiancée was even worried about him. That made Dai Mubai explode!

He felt he needed to teach Xiao Tian a proper lesson and let him know that Zhu Zhuqing was his woman. He needed to warn him not to entertain any unnecessary thoughts.

Seeing that Dai Mubai wanted to make a move, Yu Xiaogang sternly said, "Dai Mubai, I'm friends with your dean. Whatever it is, wait until tomorrow..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish, Xiao Tian leisurely walked forward with a mischievous smile on his lips. "Master, you know I can't stand it when someone provokes me. A Sword Cultivator trains to forge ahead without hesitation. If someone provokes you and you don't even dare fight back, then what sword are you cultivating?"

Boom!

A surge of Sword Intent shot into the sky from Xiao Tian's body.

The smile on Dai Mubai's lips vanished.

Dai Mubai: This person is strong!

It was also the first time Zhu Zhuqing had felt a portion of the strength Xiao Tian was displaying. He had not even revealed his Martial Soul, yet he already possessed such overwhelming momentum. Xiao Wu really had not lied to her!

Zhu Zhuqing became even more curious about Xiao Tian. She wondered just how he had cultivated.

Xiao Tian smiled faintly. "Why aren't you laughing anymore? Were you born without a sense of humor?"

As Xiao Tian spoke, Fifteen appeared in his right hand.

Pfft!

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Wu could not hold back her laughter. At a time like this, her brother was still saying things like that.

The moment Xiao Tian said those words, she could see just how ugly Dai Mubai's expression had become.

When Tang San saw the smile on Xiao Tian's face, his body could not help trembling as he felt a faint chill.

Dai Mubai... was doomed!

My Fists Aren't Hard, but My Sword Is!

"Xiao Tian, Martial Soul Sword Fifteen, Level 36 Battle Soul Master. Please enlighten me!"

Xiao Tian looked at Dai Mubai with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"What?! You're Level 36?"

Dai Mubai was stunned. He had never expected that this boy, who did not look very old, would be so close to his own level.

"Brother, this guy is so annoying! Help me beat him into the air!"

Zhu Zhuqing also stared wide-mouthed at the smug Xiao Wu beside her and asked softly, "Xiao Wu, you're too awful. Xiao Tian is this strong, so why didn't you tell me last night?"

Yesterday, Xiao Wu had only told her that all three of them were Soul Elders, and that Xiao Tian was the strongest among them.

She had originally thought that even if Xiao Tian was strong, being around Level 32 would already be impressive.

But the strength Xiao Tian displayed today had truly exceeded her expectations.

Meanwhile, the twins beside Dai Mubai had long since run with the front desk attendant to hide at the edge of the lobby. They were only ordinary people; battles between Soul Masters were not something they could get involved in.

"Dai Mubai, do you think that because I look younger than you, I must be weaker than you, and that you can bully me however you want? Unfortunately, I'll tell you the truth: you picked the wrong person. Even Tang San, the weakest on my side, might be more than you can handle."

Tang San: ???

Tang San did not know whether he should be happy or unhappy.

Was Xiao Tian praising him or mocking him?

Dai Mubai looked at the utterly ordinary Iron Sword in Xiao Tian's hand, his heart filled with confusion. Why was Xiao Tian's level so high?

Could it be that he had powerful backing?

But... so what if he did? It was not as though Dai Mubai had none!

Xiao Tian: ...

Xiao Tian had already made up his mind. He had to give Dai Mubai a vicious beating. The sight of him was simply irritating.

Xiao Tian held Sword Fifteen, its blade trembling slightly as Sword Qi covered its surface.

Without using any Soul Skill, Xiao Tian launched instantly and slashed a streak of Sword Qi straight at Dai Mubai.

"Hehe, that's it?"

Dai Mubai had initially intended to use only the physical enhancement from Martial Soul Possession to block that Sword Qi. Yet as it drew closer, the pressure emanating from it made him feel as though he faced a formidable enemy!

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Body Protection Shield!"

Dai Mubai crossed his clenched fists before his chest to protect his vital areas. A faint white glow emerged from his body, increasing his defense by fifty percent.

Aaaah!

Dai Mubai's body had an intimate encounter with Xiao Tian's Sword Qi. The veins across his body bulged as he was blasted several steps back by that seemingly ordinary Sword Qi. His sleeves were sliced apart, exposing skin beneath them covered in deep bloody marks.

Dai Mubai was utterly stunned. How was this possible?!

Xiao Wu and the others, however, were already used to it.

Although Xiao Tian's Sword Dao Realm had not improved much over the past few years by his own standards, he had still reached the peak of Sword Intent. The enhancement this Sword Intent granted to his strength was terrifying!

They all felt that Xiao Tian simply did not know how to be satisfied. He was still so young; even Jian Daochen Xin had not achieved such accomplishments at Xiao Tian's age!

But Xiao Tian knew that, for someone whose comprehension had been enhanced, his current Sword Dao Realm was progressing far too slowly. He needed a fierce, satisfying battle that could put a certain degree of pressure on him!

His Sword Intent currently possessed only the realm, not the true intent. He needed to break through in battle!

Dai Mubai had not expected that he had nearly failed to block just a casual slash from Xiao Tian. It seemed he could only take the initiative and attack!

Dai Mubai formed a ring in front of his mouth with both hands as his second Soul Ring emerged.

"White Tiger Rending Light Wave!"

The next moment, a white beam shot from Dai Mubai's mouth toward Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Tian, aren't you supposed to be strong? If you've got the guts, take this head-on!"

Dai Mubai continued to provoke him verbally.

Xiao Tian had originally planned to dodge, but then remembered that they were still in the hotel lobby. It would be better not to let their battle damage the hotel too much.

Besides, the other party had challenged him. How could he refuse?

A Sword Cultivator had to look cool!

Sword Control Technique!

With great composure, Xiao Tian had Fifteen form several streams of Sword Qi before him. Their tips met one another, forming a circle.

Meanwhile, the true Sword Fifteen was held in Xiao Tian's hand and inserted horizontally through the middle as support. It looked somewhat like an umbrella.

Sword Qi Barrier!

When Xiao Wu saw Xiao Tian use this move, she gave a sly smile.

This was also Xiao Tian's Self-Created Soul Skill, and she understood this Soul Skill even more deeply than the others. It could not only defend, but also...

"A mere barrier made of Sword Qi—do you think it can stand against my second Soul Skill? You're too arrogant! You haven't even used a single Soul Skill until now!"

Dai Mubai's lips curled upward slightly, but the anger in his voice was unmistakable. He was being underestimated!

Xiao Tian smiled calmly. With the enhancement of his Sword Intent, did he need to use Soul Skills against Dai Mubai?

"A mere hundred-year Soul Skill."

Tang San: ...

Tang San and the others felt offended as well.

It hurt. It hurt too much.

The instant the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave struck the Sword Qi Barrier, it was wrapped up, like an umbrella turning inside out.

Xiao Tian thrust Sword Fifteen forward with a slight exertion of force. The umbrella instantly returned to its original form, and the attack... was reflected back!

Yes, this was a Soul Skill Xiao Tian had conceived on a whim several years ago, inspired by an umbrella.

"Not good!"

Dai Mubai's expression froze. Gritting his teeth, his third purple Soul Ring rose.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

The instant the Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, Dai Mubai's aura abruptly changed, making everyone nearby shudder.

With the enhancement of his third Soul Skill, the muscles all over Dai Mubai's body swelled. He easily blocked the reflected White Tiger Fierce Light Wave.

But his expression was anything but pleasant.

"Bastard! Are you looking down on me?!"

Dai Mubai was enraged. Truly enraged.

Nearby, Yu Xiaogang tried to struggle one last time, urging, "Dai Mubai, Xiao Tian, that's enough! You'll all be classmates starting tomorrow. Stop while you're ahead. Don't harm the harmony between you!"

Dai Mubai came to his senses. This person was actually going to join Shrek Academy?

But Xiao Tian said, "Master, if Shrek Academy is full of people like this, then I don't think there's any need to join. No reason, no sense—whoever has the harder fist is right, is that it?"

"Perfect. My fists may not be hard, but... my sword is!"

Xiao Tian no longer hid his strength. Three purple Soul Rings rose beneath him!

Dai Mubai fell silent.

Dai Mubai was shocked.

Dai Mubai yielded from the heart.

But... it was already too late!
