Kirin Steps to Heaven, Dai Mubai Instantly Defeated!

Sharp tiger claws tore through the air as they raked toward Su Bai's chest.

Facing Dai Mubai's attack, Su Bai stood where he was without moving.

"Second Spirit Ability, Auspicious Kirin Body Protection!"

The next moment, a phantom Kirin appeared behind Su Bai. It instantly merged with him, forming a sturdy golden Light Shield.

Su Bai's defense, Attack Power, strength, and other attributes rose by 120% in an instant. The golden Light Shield around him also possessed additional resistance against dark and evil attribute attacks.

Dai Mubai's tiger claws were stopped by a suddenly appearing golden Light Shield half a meter from Su Bai's chest.

"Clang!"

A crisp metallic ring echoed out.

Dai Mubai's sharp claws threw up a spray of sparks against the Light Shield, yet failed to advance even an inch.

Dai Mubai felt as though his claws had struck a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Iron, leaving his arms numb from the impact.

A tremendous rebound force surged back at him, forcing him to stagger several steps before he regained his footing.

How could it be so hard?

Dai Mubai was horrified. He knew the power of that claw strike well. Even a defense-type Soul Elder of the same level could not have blocked it so easily.

Su Bai looked at him and shook his head.

"Too slow."

After saying that, the yellow Spirit Ring beneath Su Bai's feet flashed. He gently raised his right foot, then stomped down heavily.

"First Spirit Ability, Kirin Steps to Heaven!"

"Boom!"

A visible golden shockwave spread rapidly across the ground in a fan shape, centered on Su Bai's right foot.

The stone slabs cracked inch by inch, and the shockwave plowed a deep trench through the ground.

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply. He sensed a deadly threat from that golden shockwave.

Without a second thought, Dai Mubai immediately activated his strongest defense.

"Third Spirit Ability, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

The muscles across his body swelled once more. The golden fur on his body instantly transformed into black-and-white stripes, while an intense golden glow covered his entire body.

Dai Mubai's defense, Attack Power, and strength all reached their peak in that instant.

Almost at the exact moment he completed his transformation, the golden shockwave had already reached him.

"Bang!"

Dai Mubai felt as if he had been struck head-on by a crazed giant beast.

With the White Tiger Vajra Transformation enhancing him, Dai Mubai's body was far tougher than that of Spirit Masters at the same level.

He took the shockwave head-on. The protective golden light around him flickered unstably under its assault, and he was pushed back five meters before barely coming to a stop.

Two deep furrows had been gouged into the ground by his feet.

Dai Mubai felt his chest churn violently, and a sweet metallic taste rose in his throat. He forcibly swallowed it back down.

He braced himself against his knees and panted heavily, the muscles in his arms trembling uncontrollably.

How was this possible?

He was Level Thirty-seven, while the other side was only Level Thirty-five.

Yet his Third Spirit Ability had struggled so much just to withstand the other party's First Spirit Ability.

This could no longer be explained by the difference in Spirit Rings. This was absolute suppression at the level of their Spirits!

That Kirin Spirit was surely of a far higher quality than his own White Tiger.

The applicants and parents around them were all stunned speechless.

Dai Mubai, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, had fallen into a disadvantage in the blink of an eye. From the looks of it, his defeat was going to be complete.

Su Bai did not pursue him. He simply started walking toward Dai Mubai at an unhurried pace.

One step, then another.

Each step seemed to tread on Dai Mubai's heart, making him feel an unprecedented pressure.

"Damn it!"

Dai Mubai roared, forcibly suppressing the injuries within his body as his Soul Power erupted once more.

He could not lose!

Especially not so humiliatingly in front of Zhu Zhuqing!

Dai Mubai had spotted the female Spirit Master in the line long ago, the one who had drawn him in just as he had drawn her in. She had to be his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing.

Only Zhu Zhuqing would have come to Suotuo City to find him. He absolutely could not disgrace himself!

"First Spirit Ability, White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier!"

A thick white Light Shield emerged once more, overlapping with the golden radiance of his White Tiger Vajra Transformation to form a dual shield of gold and white.

This was the strongest defense Dai Mubai could currently manage.

Su Bai stopped less than three meters away from Dai Mubai.

He looked at Dai Mubai's layers upon layers of defense without any extra expression on his face.

"Still too weak."

As the words fell, Su Bai raised his right foot again.

It was the exact same motion as before, and that yellow Hundred-year Spirit Ring lit up once more.

"First Spirit Ability, Kirin Steps to Heaven!"

"Boom!"

An even more violent golden shockwave swept out once again.

The ground shattered completely, and the shockwave swept up broken stones and pulverized them into dust.

Dai Mubai's eyes widened as he poured all his Soul Power into the shield before him.

"Block it!"

"Crack!"

The instant the golden shockwave collided with the dual shield, a crisp shattering sound rang out.

The White Tiger Bodyguard Barrier around Dai Mubai's body lasted less than a second before dissolving into countless points of light.

The remaining shockwave did not weaken in the slightest as it slammed heavily into the White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

"Pfft!"

Dai Mubai could no longer hold it back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His entire body flew backward with both feet leaving the ground, like a kite with its string cut, before crashing heavily into the solid wall of Shrek Academy.

The wall caved in, leaving behind a large human-shaped crater.

Dai Mubai slid down the wall and collapsed onto the ground. His White Tiger possession state instantly lifted, returning him to human form.

His face was pale, his breathing weak, and he had already passed out.

The entire area fell silent.

Everyone was utterly stunned by the scene.

Dai Mubai, a Level Thirty-seven Battle Spirit Master and Shrek Academy's genius student, had been defeated twice by a Twelve Years Old boy using the same Spirit Ability.

The second time, he had been instantly defeated outright.

This was no longer a battle. It was a one-sided beating.

Tang San, standing at the front of the line, clenched his fists tightly.

He replayed the battle over and over in his mind.

Su Bai had used only two Spirit Abilities: one for defense, one for attack.

That defensive Spirit Ability had effortlessly blocked Dai Mubai's claw strike.

And that attacking Spirit Ability had been tyrannical beyond reason.

Tang San asked himself whether he could block that golden shockwave if he were in Dai Mubai's place.

Perhaps he could evade it by using Purple Demon Eye together with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

But if he had to take it head-on, he had no confidence at all.

Moreover, Su Bai's yellow, purple, purple Spirit Ring Configuration completely overturned the theories he had learned from his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Wasn't the limit for the second Spirit Ring just over seven hundred years?

Why was his Thousand-year?

Could Teacher's theory be wrong?

The moment this thought emerged, Tang San's mind became unsettled.

Xiao Wu's little mouth hung slightly open, completely forgetting that she was still waiting in line.

She felt it most clearly. When Su Bai used his Kirin Spirit, the pressure originating from his bloodline nearly made her want to kneel in submission.

Was this the strength of an Auspicious Beast?

Too strong.

Dai Mubai's White Tiger Spirit was no different from a housecat before the Kirin.
