Dai Mubai's entire body stiffened. He knew that voice better than anyone.
He whipped around and met Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, which were practically spitting fire.
"Zhu... Zhuqing?"
Before he could react in any way, a startling transformation had already taken place on Zhu Zhuqing's body.
Two yellow and one purple, three spirit rings suddenly rose. Her jet-black hair instantly grew longer, and a pair of adorable cat ears emerged atop her head.
Her hands turned into sharp claws, while a long cat tail swayed gently behind her.
Hell Spirit Cat, Martial Soul Possession!
At that moment, she was no longer the aloof young woman from before. She was a deadly predator that had been utterly enraged!
"Second Spirit Ability, Netherworld Hundred Claws!"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a shriek. Her figure vanished from where she stood, transforming into a blurry black line as countless claw shadows swept toward Dai Mubai like a tidal wave!
"Not good!"
Dai Mubai was greatly alarmed. Most of his drunkenness instantly vanished, and he instinctively circulated his Soul Power, trying to activate the White Tiger Protection Barrier.
But it was too late.
"Rip—!"
Amid the piercing sound of flesh tearing, countless bloody gashes burst across his raised arm. Blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.
Sharp pain surged through him. Dai Mubai let out a muffled groan and was repelled several steps by the tremendous force, crashing into the bar counter in a sorry state.
He stared in horror at the wound on his arm, deep enough to see bone, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing across from him, her eyes full of killing intent. The color completely drained from his face.
"Zhuqing, listen to my explanation! It isn't what you think!"
He hurriedly spoke, trying to salvage the situation.
However, Zhu Zhuqing merely looked at him as though he were trash.
An explanation?
Looking at the two women in his arms, whose faces had lost their color from fright, then looking at his hypocritical and flustered face...
Zhu Zhuqing felt nauseated.
This man made her feel sick from head to toe.
Without saying a word, she pushed off the ground with her long, powerful legs and Rushed over at Dai Mubai once again!
This time, her attacks were even more violent and merciless!
Sharp claws, whip kicks, elbow strikes...
She poured all her anger, disappointment, and humiliation onto the man who had deceived her.
Dai Mubai hastily responded to the challenge, beaten back step by step. Before long, he was completely suppressed.
More and more wounds appeared across his body. His ornate robe was torn into fragments, and he looked utterly disheveled. There was not the slightest trace left of the Evil Eye White Tiger's former grandeur.
The hotel's guests had long since scattered and fled. Only Zhu Zhuqing remained, like a Goddess of Vengeance, mercilessly treading upon the coward beneath her feet.
The hotel lobby was a mess.
Dai Mubai was left with no power to fight back under Zhu Zhuqing's string of storm-like attacks. Covered in blood, he lay on the ground in a miserable state.
However, he was ultimately a Level 44 Soul Ancestor, and his foundation was far deeper than Zhu Zhuqing's.
Seeing another sharp claw coming at him, aiming directly at his face, a fierce glint finally flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes.
"Enough!"
He roared as the Soul Power within him abruptly erupted.
"First Spirit Ability, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
A solidified white light shield instantly enveloped his entire body.
"Clang—!"
Zhu Zhuqing's sharp claws struck the light shield with a clash of metal, yet she could no longer advance an inch.
A powerful rebounding force sent her staggering back two steps.
Dai Mubai braced himself against the ground and slowly rose to his feet. He wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his Evil eyes full of fury.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what madness are you up to?!"
Panting heavily, he pointed at Zhu Zhuqing and shouted.
"If you dare to make a move again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Seeing his blustering and bullying appearance, the anger in Zhu Zhuqing's heart gradually subsided, turning instead into bone-chilling coldness.
She understood that she was not his match.
If they continued fighting, she would be the only one to suffer losses.
But so what?
The purpose of her visit today had already been achieved.
She had seen this man's True Face and vented the anger in her heart.
Zhu Zhuqing gave a Cold Snort and slowly withdrew her Martial Soul.
The captivating cat ears and long tail disappeared. She returned to her stunningly beautiful appearance, but there was no longer even a trace of the affection from the past in her gaze. Only disgust and resolve remained.
She looked at Dai Mubai and spoke, one word at a time.
"Dai Mubai."
"From today onward, there is no longer any relationship between us."
"The engagement is void. From now on, you take your Sunny Road, and I'll cross my Single Plank Bridge."
"We owe each other nothing."
After saying that, she did not even spare the man another glance. She turned and left, her back proud and resolute, without the slightest hint of attachment.
Dai Mubai stood frozen in place. Looking at that resolute figure, an inexplicable panic suddenly welled up in his heart.
Meanwhile, Blue Tyrant Academy.
Inside Lu Ming's room.
He was lying leisurely on his bed as messages frantically refreshed across the Chat Group screen in his Sea of Consciousness.
[My Cat is White and Big: Dai Mubai is a despicable, shameless liar! A hypocrite! Human trash!] Zhu Zhuqing had apparently returned to her dormitory and was venting her fury in the group. [Little Witch: @My Cat is White and Big, what happened?? Hurry up and tell us!] [I Have No Mother: Every single one from Shrek Academy has problems. First there was Tang Hao, who abandoned his wife and child. Then there was Ma Hongjun, consumed by Evil Fire. Now there's another Dai Mubai, full of lies.] Qian Renxue's words hit the nail on the head, instantly drawing everyone's agreement. [Little Witch: Exactly! That Tang San isn't any good either. He looks honest, but he's actually full of bad intentions!]
Lu Ming watched the conversation in the group, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, a mechanical System Prompt Tone rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Detected that group member "My Cat is White and Big" has completely broken with Dai Mubai after the Host exposed his True Face, changing her own fate.] [Mission complete!] [Congratulations, Host, on obtaining rewards!] [Reward 1: Soul Power Level increased by nine levels!] [Reward 2: God-Bestowed Soul Ring*2!] [Reward 3: Complete Understanding of Soul Tools!] [Reward 4: Thirty Thousand Year Blue Silver Set Soul Bone*1 (a complete set of six pieces)!]
The string of System Prompt Tones made the smile on Lu Ming's face grow even brighter.
The rewards this time were simply too generous!
"Accept the rewards."
Lu Ming silently thought.
The next instant, a vast and majestic torrent of Soul Power appeared out of thin air and surged into every part of his body!
His Soul Power Level began soaring wildly at an inconceivable speed!
Level 45!
Level 46!
Level 50!
A bottleneck? It did not exist.
His Soul Power charged ahead without resistance, directly breaking through the barrier between Soul Ancestor and Soul King!
Level 51!
Level 52!
Level 53!
Only upon reaching Level 53 did the growth of that Soul Power gradually come to a halt.
Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, Lu Ming let out a comfortable sigh.
Soul King!
