Yu Xiaogang's Theories, Completely Wrong!

However.

The next moment.

The information displayed on the Sky Screen was like a resounding slap, fiercely striking Yu Xiaogang across the face.

In the image.

The royal scribe responsible for recording, his voice trembling, read aloud the information regarding the spirit ring Dai Mubai had just obtained:

"Second Prince Dai Mubai, first spirit ring, obtained from a four-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"

"Spirit skill: White Tiger Rending Gold Claw!"

"Non... non-defensive spirit skill!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only was the Star Luo Imperial Family in the image in an uproar.

Even the Star Luo Square in the Black World exploded into chaos in an instant.

"What?"

"The first spirit ring isn't White Tiger Protection Barrier?"

"Is he crazy?"

"Giving up the White Tiger Martial Soul's most proud defense to pursue extreme attack? Isn't this cutting off his own path?"

Yu Xiaogang's hands, which had been clasped behind his back, suddenly stiffened.

He stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"Nonsense!"

"This is absolute nonsense!"

"Abandoning the White Tiger Protection Barrier, which balances both offense and defense, to choose such a purely offensive skill—this completely violates the laws of martial soul cultivation!"

"This Dai Mubai of the White World, although his character is decent, is simply a brute when it comes to the path of cultivation!"

"Does he not understand the principle that what is too rigid is easily broken?"

Tang San also wore a look of confusion.

In his view, steady and solid progress was the only true path.

This kind of extreme stat allocation was nothing but a path to self-destruction.

In the Sky Screen image.

The Star Luo Emperor of the White World, sitting in the center of the viewing platform, saw his face, which had been full of anticipation, sink at this moment.

He looked at his second son below the stage, a clear trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

No White Tiger Protection Barrier.

This meant that in confrontations at the same level, Dai Mubai would lose his greatest margin for error.

"Mubai, you have disappointed me too much."

"As a prince, you are reaching for the stars and greedy for momentary attack power, yet you have forgotten that survival is the foundation."

The Star Luo Emperor's voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy pressure.

The other officials on the platform whispered among themselves, their gazes toward Dai Mubai filled mostly with pity.

And standing opposite Dai Mubai, Dai Weisi laughed out loud at this moment.

He looked at his younger brother, his eyes full of mockery.

"My good brother."

"I thought you might bring me some kind of surprise."

"Turns out you're just a brainless idiot."

As Dai Weisi spoke, he arrogantly released his martial soul.

"Hum!"

A yellow spirit ring rose beneath his feet.

Immediately following.

A layer of white light shield instantly enveloped his entire body.

First spirit skill: White Tiger Protection Barrier!

Dai Weisi patted the thick light shield on his body, producing "thumping" muffled sounds.

He pointed at Dai Mubai, laughing until he doubled over:

"See that?"

"This is the orthodox way!"

"This is what the White Tiger Martial Soul should look like!"

"Without this tortoise shell... oh wait, without this Protection Barrier, what are you going to use to fight me?"

"Just those claws of yours that haven't even fully grown yet?"

Faced with his father's disappointment, his brother's mockery, and the skepticism of the court officials.

Dai Mubai of the White World stood in the center of the arena, his expression not changing in the slightest.

He did not offer a defense.

Nor did he show any anger.

He simply watched Dai Weisi, who was laughing uncontrollably, with eyes that looked as if he were watching a clown.

"Are you done laughing?"

Dai Mubai spoke.

His voice was very calm.

"If you're done, let's begin."

"I will let you know why I didn't choose that tortoise shell."

Dai Weisi's expression darkened.

"Sharp-tongued brat!"

"Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!"

"I'll make you understand the difference between the orthodox path and a wild one!"

As the words fell.

Dai Weisi shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.

With the blessing of the White Tiger Protection Barrier, he completely ignored any potential counterattack from Dai Mubai, opting directly for the most brutal ramming tactic.

He intended to use his absolute defense to crush this arrogant younger brother who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.

The audience of the Black World held their breath.

Especially Black Dai Weisi, who was staring fixedly at the Sky Screen at this moment.

He screamed frantically in his heart:

"Smash him to death!"

"Tell everyone that only the path we chose is the right one!"

"Without the White Tiger Protection Barrier, he is bound to lose!"

In the image.

Dai Weisi had already charged right in front of Dai Mubai.

His massive fist whistled through the air as he smashed it down fiercely.

Yet, Dai Mubai still did not move.

It wasn't until the wind of the punch hit his face, blowing back the golden hair on his forehead.

He moved.

He did not retreat.

He did not dodge.

He performed an action that made everyone's scalp tingle.

He lunged forward!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, crashing head-on into Dai Weisi's attack!

"He's courting death!"

Yu Xiaogang asserted beneath the Sky Screen.

"Using a physical body to hard-counter a soul skill defense is the most foolish approach."

However.

Just as the two figures were about to collide.

A flash of golden light flickered in the depths of Dai Mubai's eyes.

His first soul ring suddenly lit up.

It was not a normal yellow, but a deep yellow so dark it approached purple!

"White Tiger—Gold-Splitting Claw!"

Dai Mubai's hands instantly transformed into sharp tiger claws, wrapped not in the white light of an ordinary White Tiger, but in a brilliant, extreme dark gold!

That was the unique tearing attribute of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

The pinnacle of offense!

Indestructible!

"Riiip--!"

A teeth-grinding sound of shattering echoed throughout the entire Soul Fighting Arena.

Time seemed to freeze in this very moment.

The crowd watched in horror.

The White Tiger Protection Barrier that Dai Weisi took such pride in, that light shield touted as invincible among those of the same rank.

In front of Dai Mubai's golden claws, it was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper.

It didn't even manage to block for a single second.

It shattered instantly!

White specks of light scattered across the sky like snowflakes.

Immediately following.

Dai Mubai's sharp claws did not pause for even a moment, hovering directly at Dai Weisi's throat.

The sharp aura pierced Dai Weisi's skin, drawing a bead of bright red blood.

Meanwhile, Dai Weisi's fist remained suspended in mid-air, only a few inches from Dai Mubai's face.

But he dared not move.

Because he knew very well.

If he moved even an inch further, his throat would be completely torn open first.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

In the entire Soul Fighting Arena, one could hear the sound of a needle dropping to the floor.

Dai Mubai of the White World slowly retracted his hand.

He looked at Dai Weisi, whose face was covered in cold sweat and whose pupils were dilated, and the corners of his mouth curled upward. This was not a polite smile, but a look of genuine contempt.

"Big brother."

"You asked me just now, without a protection barrier, what would I use to fight you?"

Dai Mubai brushed some non-existent dust off his hands.

"Are you satisfied with the answer now?"

"As long as my attack is stronger than your defense, as long as I kill you before you can hit me."

"I don't need defense."

"In this world, offense is the best defense."

"Do you understand now?"

Dai Weisi's legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.

His pride, his theories, and the orthodoxy he was so proud of were, in this moment, torn to shreds by that single claw.
