White Tiger Parasite! The Third Soul Skill Was Root Hairs! (Happy New Year, May You Prosper)

As the Imperial Family of the Star Luo Empire, the Dai Family's White Tiger Martial Soul had established references for obtaining every Soul Skill.

After Dai Mubai reached Level Thirty, he had originally planned to hunt a Diamond Tiger and obtain White Tiger Diamond Transformation, a powerful Soul Skill that provided an overall enhancement.

In the Dai Family's inheritance, regardless of what the other Soul Rings were, the third Soul Skill had to be White Tiger Diamond Transformation.

This was because it truly was the most suitable powerful Soul Skill for the White Tiger Martial Soul. Even at the Title Douluo level, it could still be used.

But Yu Xiaogang stopped him.

"According to my Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls, Plant-type Martial Souls can absorb Animal Soul Rings. Likewise, Animal Martial Souls can also absorb Plant Type Soul Rings."

"Therefore, I have decided to choose a Plant-type Soul Beast for you."

Although Dai Mubai greatly respected Master, he still asked hesitantly:

"According to the Dai Family's generations of inheritance, the Diamond Tiger's Soul Skill is the most suitable for the White Tiger Martial Soul. Master, how about I choose a Plant-type Soul Beast for my next Soul Ring instead?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately darkened as he shouted:

"Do you still remember what you promised me back then? You must listen to me in everything. Otherwise, what right do you have to become my student?"

Dai Mubai lowered his head. He was deeply dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang's belittlement, but he did not dare argue back.

Yu Xiaogang realized that the person before him was the future Star Luo Emperor, and that he would still need him to become the Imperial Tutor, so his tone softened somewhat.

"Mubai, you are much younger than Dai Weisi. If you walk the same path, you will never be able to defeat him."

"If you want to surpass him, you can only take an entirely new path."

"And only by doing as I require can you absolutely forge a new path and defeat Dai Weisi."

Those words sounded quite reasonable, and Dai Mubai raised his head.

"Teacher, I understand. I'll listen to you in everything!"

After successfully establishing his authority as a teacher, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Dai Mubai entered the Star Dou Great Forest. After searching for some time, they found Master's intended target.

"Mubai, this is a rare Ghost King Vine, the king among Ghost Vines."

"By my estimate, it is a full thirteen hundred years old. This will be an enormous test for you. Are you willing to accept this challenge?"

Yu Xiaogang stared intensely at Dai Mubai.

That look seemed to say that if he was unwilling, then he was trash!

"I am willing!"

Dai Mubai declared solemnly.

Although he did not know what Soul Skill the Ghost King Vine would grant him, Yu Xiaogang looked so confident that Dai Mubai felt there had to be a reason.

Yu Xiaogang truly had his own ideas.

Dai Mubai's Martial Soul was the White Tiger, and its attributes leaned toward light and metal.

He wanted to alter the White Tiger's fierce and unyielding nature by using the Ghost King Vine's darkness and netherworld attributes to balance it.

Since the Dai Family's White Tiger and the Zhu Clan's Hell Spirit Cat could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill to form the Hell White Tiger.

Why not directly add the netherworld attribute to the White Tiger Martial Soul and turn it directly into a Hell White Tiger?

After reaching this conclusion, he felt that he truly deserved to be called Master.

As for why he was absorbing the Soul Ring of a Plant Soul Beast rather than an Animal Soul Beast, he had ample justification as well.

Absorbing a Soul Ring with opposing attributes would inevitably cause rejection.

By comparison, the Soul Rings of Plant Soul Beasts were gentler and would help Dai Mubai absorb them.

Persuaded by Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai immediately began absorbing the Ghost King Vine's Soul Ring.

The instant the purple Soul Ring entered his body, a stabbing pain in his Martial Soul made Dai Mubai's entire body tremble.

The White Tiger roared and struggled, but before the thousand-year Ghost King Vine, it ultimately fell into defeat.

The Ghost King Vine wrapped around the White Tiger, slowly tightening and gradually merging with it.

At the same time, Dai Mubai's body instinctively curled up. He could not stop sweating from the pain.

Flender frowned and said worriedly:

"Xiaogang, there won't be any danger, right? We can't let something happen to him while he is with us."

Those words reminded Yu Xiaogang.

No matter what, Dai Mubai was a prince born to the actual Empress of the Star Luo Empire. If he died by Yu Xiaogang's hand, this discarded son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not be able to bear the Imperial Family's wrath.

He immediately panicked inside.

But outwardly, he continued maintaining his unfathomable image.

"Everything carries risks!"

"If you want to accomplish great things, how can you avoid taking risks?"

"Flender, do you not believe in the Wisdom Horn of the Golden Iron Triangle?"

Under Yu Xiaogang's scrutinizing gaze, Flender hurriedly waved his hands.

"Of course not, Xiaogang. I will always believe in you. You are the wisest person on Douluo Continent!"

"Then wait for a miracle to happen."

Yu Xiaogang's tone was calm, as though he were a sage.

As a seasoned actor, he quickly steadied his weak legs and trembling voice, then turned his gaze back to Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai's talent and potential were among the very best on Douluo Continent. In the original story, he reached Level 37 at fifteen, and his Cultivation Speed was no worse than Tang San's as a Twin Martial Souls wielder or Xiao Wu's as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Therefore, the Ghost King Vine's attribute clash did not cripple him. He endured it.

"Teacher, I succeeded."

Dai Mubai let out a long breath.

He felt as though he had just suffered torture. If not for the temptation of the throne continually giving him motivation, he would have given up long ago.

Yu Xiaogang said approvingly:

"Mubai, I knew I had not misjudged you."

"After enduring hardship, you will certainly grow. Only someone like you is qualified to sit in that supreme position!"

Dai Mubai nodded in agreement, having completely forgotten that Yu Xiaogang had caused this hardship.

Flender asked expectantly:

"Mubai, quickly let me see what Soul Skill you obtained!"

Yu Xiaogang also looked over, waiting to admire his masterpiece.

Dai Mubai immediately used Martial Soul Possession, and a great deal of long hair appeared over his body.

He charged toward a tree, slashed out with a claw, and roared:

"White Tiger Parasite!"

In an instant, dozens of Tiger Hairs shot forth and pierced into the tree.

Flender fell silent.

A White Tiger Soul Master who had originally crushed Soul Masters of the same level with absolute strength had now been reduced to shooting his own fur.

If the battle became too intense, would he have to pull out all his own hair?

If that happened, would it count as running around naked?

"Teacher, once my hair drills into your body, it will obstruct the circulation of your Soul Power and make your entire body feel miserable."

The moment Yu Xiaogang heard Dai Mubai say that, his entire body already felt miserable.

He did not want Dai Mubai's hair drilling into his body!

"Good! Mubai, you have already made a breakthrough!"

Yu Xiaogang shouted.

"As the saying goes, softness overcomes hardness. Hair represents softness. With this alone, you are already invincible!"

"Next, as long as you follow the path I have planned for you and continuously absorb the Soul Rings of Plant Soul Beasts, you will definitely defeat Dai Weisi!"

Elsewhere, Tang San consumed the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and his Soul Power soared directly from Level 25 to Level Thirty.

His Blue Silver Grass became even tougher, its edges incomparably sharp, and its attack power increased dramatically.

Tang San himself had even grown considerably taller, nearly reaching Lu Duzhou's height.

The next day, after giving Tang San and Xiao Wu a few final instructions, Lu Duzhou headed for Vast Sea City.
