This scene made the hearts of countless female spectators in the Black World melt.

"So sweet! This is what childhood sweethearts should be like!"

"He says he won't take responsibility, yet he holds her hand so tightly!"

"Look at them, then look at our Dai Mubai—it really is a case of 'compare goods and you'll throw them away, compare people and you'll want to die'!"

The following scenes transformed into a pure display of battlefield slaughter.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, using aliases as ordinary soul master soldiers, were assigned to a scout squad.

The first skirmish occurred.

Facing a hundred-man squad from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Dai Mubai took the lead.

He activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation immediately, his entire body resembling a golden War God as he charged into the enemy ranks, moving as if through empty space.

Every punch he threw was accompanied by the sound of shattering bones.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing moved like a Ghost, weaving through the shadows of the battlefield.

Hell Stab!

Hell Hundred Claws!

Any enemy sent flying by Dai Mubai or left with an opening would have their life reaped by a black shadow in the next second.

The coordination between the two was so seamless that it didn't seem like they were twelve-year-old children at all.

It was as if they had practiced it countless times.

Especially when facing an enemy thousand-man commander who was a level 50 Soul King.

Dai Mubai met him head-on, using White Tiger Intense Light Wave to forcibly interrupt the opponent's soul skill.

Zhu Zhuqing seized that split-second of stiffness, her figure tracing a graceful arc through the air as her Hell Slash precisely sliced through the opponent's protective soul power.

Blood splattered.

The Soul King clutched his throat and collapsed in disbelief.

The battle ended.

The ground was a mess.

Dai Mubai was covered in blood, yet he didn't even blink.

He pulled the slightly panting Zhu Zhuqing over, took out a clean cloth, and carefully wiped the bloodstains from her cheeks.

"Are you afraid?"

Zhu Zhuqing's hand, still gripping her dagger, was trembling slightly, but she shook her head.

"With you here, I'm not afraid."

This battle shocked the entire military camp.

The scene shifted.

Inside the main military tent.

The commander of the Star Luo border looked at these two excessively young soldiers as they slammed two thousand-man commander tokens onto the table.

"Heroes emerge from the youth."

"No matter your background, in the Star Luo army, military merit is everything."

"You killed an enemy Soul King and wiped out a hundred-man squad."

"These two thousand-man commander tokens are yours to take!"

White World.

In Star Luo Square, cheers erupted like a tsunami.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empress!"

"This is our true Emperor! Military merit earned by fighting from the bottom up!"

"Open and honest! Upright and righteous!"

"Even while hiding his identity, His Majesty is still the most dazzling star!"

Meanwhile, in the Black World.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.

People looked at the Dai Mubai who had become a thousand-man commander through military merit at the age of twelve, then thought about the one on their side.

What was Black Dai Mubai doing?

He was in Suotuo City, relying on his cultivation as a Soul Elder to bully ordinary people and finding a sense of existence by crushing weaklings in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Even after returning to the Star Luo Empire later, it was only by relying on his family's influence and the help of Tang San that he had managed to barely reclaim his position as crown prince.

He simply lacked any experience of fighting his way up from the bottom!

"Trash!"

Someone couldn't help but curse out loud.

"They're both princes, yet that Black Dai Mubai dared to hide his identity and join the army, earning his status with his own fists."

"Our Dai Mubai only knows how to bully others by relying on his status!"

"I heard that when he was later exiled to the border, he even used his identity to steal credit from the soldiers?"

"He has truly brought shame upon the Star Luo Imperial Family!"

Shrek Academy.

Black Dai Mubai listened to the whispers around him and looked at his high-spirited self on the Sky Screen, his entire face turning green.

It was a feeling of extreme shame, indignation, and distortion.

He gripped the armrests of his chair so tightly that his nails were on the verge of snapping.

"A brute..."

"This is simply the behavior of a brute!"

"A person of noble birth should not put themselves in danger; does he not understand that?"

"What if he had died? Does the Star Luo Empire not need an heir?"

He tried to use such reasons to comfort himself and cover up the cowardice in his heart.

But no one paid any attention to his justifications.

Even Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were sitting nearby, silently moved a distance away.

It was as if being near him would cause them to be tainted by that scent of a coward.

Above on the Sky Screen, the story continued.

Not long after being promoted to a commander of a thousand, Dai Mubai received a new mission.

To burn the logistics and provisions of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Inside the military tent.

Several advisors pointed to a mark on the map.

"According to reports from scouts, the Heaven Dou army's provisions are stockpiled at Wild Wolf Slope."

"The terrain there is flat, making it easy to attack but difficult to defend."

"As long as the surprise attack succeeds, we can cut off their supplies."

Everyone felt that this was a great opportunity.

Only Dai Mubai stood before the map, his brows tightly locked.

He stared at the place named "Wild Wolf Slope" for a long time without speaking.

"Commander Dai, is there a problem?"

The commander-in-chief asked.

Dai Mubai extended a finger and drew a line on the map.

"It's too simple."

His voice was steady, revealing a seasoned maturity that did not match his age.

"The commander on the Heaven Dou side is Marshal Ge Long, who is a notoriously cunning old fox."

"Would he place his provisions in such a place that is easy to attack but hard to defend, just waiting for us to burn them?"

"This is a lure."

"Wild Wolf Slope is a pocket formation; as soon as our raiding party enters, the ambushing troops surrounding it will immediately close in."

"By then, no matter how many go, they will all die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tent was shocked.

The commander-in-chief's expression also changed.

"But if they aren't at Wild Wolf Slope, where would their provisions be?"

Dai Mubai's finger moved across the map, finally stopping at a precipitous valley.

"Black Wind Valley."

"The terrain here is treacherous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is located behind their main army."

"Most importantly, the wind has been blowing in this direction for the past few days."

"If I were Ge Long, I would place the provisions here; it is both safe and concealed."

"Furthermore, he predicted that we would take the bait, so the defenses at Black Wind Valley would actually be lax."

The analysis was perfectly logical.

Clear reasoning, meticulous thinking.

Inside the Pope Palace of the Black World.

Bibi Dong, who had originally been watching with cold indifference, suddenly sat bolt upright.

A flash of genuine astonishment crossed her beautiful eyes.

"What sharp battlefield intuition."

"Not only is his personal combat strength superb, but his military command ability is also this outstanding?"

"This level of insight is definitely not something that can be gained through simple cultivation."

"This Dai Mubai of the White World... is a natural-born commander."

Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Hu Liena beside her, her tone becoming a bit more stern.

"Nana, you must watch carefully."

"This is what a true genius, a true powerhouse, looks like."

"One must not only have strength, but also brains."

Black World.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue, wearing the disguise of Xue Qinghe, sat in the study, watching the Sky Screen.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Black Wind Valley..."

"In that battle back then, the Star Luo army did indeed suffer a crushing defeat at Wild Wolf Slope, with heavy casualties."

"If there had been someone like him at that time, would the outcome have been completely different?"

She was eager to know what this White World Dai Mubai would do after seeing through the trap.

Would he report it? Or...
