Beat Down Dai Mubai

If Dai Mubai hadn't received those immortal herbs, it would have been hard to say whether he could have even reached level 40 at that time.

Back then, Dai Mubai had hit a bottleneck; if Tang San hadn't given him those immortal herbs, his level could never have increased so rapidly.

The novel itself mentioned that after the age of 12, cultivation speed would naturally slow down.

Zhu Zhuqing?

Without those immortal herbs, she would have been a drag on Dai Mubai.

If the two of them had gone up against Dai Weisi and his group, there would have been only one outcome: defeat.

Tang San could do without Dai Mubai and the others, but Dai Mubai and his group could not do without Tang San.

God King Tang San watched Dai Mubai, unable to help but recall the scenes of himself fighting Mubai in the past.

Walking up to the counter, Dai Mubai looked at the waiter and said, "You must be new here. Don't you know that a room is always supposed to be reserved for me?"

The waiter looked puzzled; he did not recognize Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai said impatiently, "Go call your manager."

Seeing that Dai Mubai was not someone to be trifled with, the waiter obediently went to fetch the manager.

Xiao Wu said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, we were here first. Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served?"

Dai Mubai cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Wu, his eyes filled with arrogance, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth: "Little girl, you don't understand the rules around here."

Spirit power fluctuations radiated from his body; although he had deliberately restrained them, the pressure belonging to an assault-type battle spirit master still made Xiao Wu frown subconsciously.

Xu Yuan took half a step forward, blocking Xiao Wu with a calm demeanor, his gaze fixed steadily on Dai Mubai: "Rules are meant to be followed by those who know how to be polite."

Dai Mubai froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting anyone to dare speak to him like that.

He looked Xu Yuan up and down, noting the other's extraordinary temperament.

Dai Mubai thought for a moment and said, "You have spirit power fluctuations on you as well, so you must be spirit masters. Then you can both come at me together. If you can beat me, I'll leave immediately; otherwise, I suggest you demonstrate the meaning of the word 'scram'."

Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine, but we're doing this one-on-one."

Upon hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Dai Mubai's eyes, which immediately turned into deep disdain: "One-on-one? You, of all people?"

His spirit power was released abruptly, and two yellow and one purple spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.

"White Tiger, Avatar!"

Following Dai Mubai's low shout, his physique changed instantly; his muscles bulged, his golden hair turned black and white with white as the dominant color, and a "King" character marking appeared on his forehead.

His hands doubled in size, covered in white fur, with short, dagger-like claws up to eight inches long extending from his palms, and his double-pupiled eyes turned a deep, piercing ghostly blue.

"First Spirit Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"

A pale golden halo enveloped Dai Mubai's body, making him look as if he were clad in a suit of sturdy armor, his defensive power skyrocketing instantly.

Xiao Wu felt her heart tighten as she watched from the side, unable to help but tug on the corner of Xu Yuan's sleeve: "Xu Yuan, this guy looks so fierce..."

Xu Yuan patted Xiao Wu's hand to reassure her, his gaze locked onto Dai Mubai the entire time, his tone flat: "Let's begin."

Before the words had even faded, Dai Mubai had already lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow, his tiger claws carrying a fierce gale as they struck directly at Xu Yuan's face.

Xu Yuan utilized the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, easily dodging Dai Mubai's attack.

"First Spirit Skill, Life Entanglement!"

Several jade-colored Blue Silver Emperor vines erupted from the ground, winding toward Dai Mubai's legs like agile snakes.

These Blue Silver Emperor vines glowed with a faint golden light, containing a rich vitality.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, sweeping his tiger claws horizontally in an attempt to sever the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, Xu Yuan's Blue Silver Emperor possessed extreme resilience; after being struck by the tiger claws, it merely trembled slightly without breaking, instead taking the opportunity to tighten and bind his legs firmly.

"Hmm?" Dai Mubai's expression shifted slightly; he hadn't expected the opponent's martial soul to be so tough.

He exerted force suddenly, trying to break free from the restraint, but the Blue Silver Emperor only coiled tighter, as if it had taken root.

White flowers emitted a faint fragrance, soothing Dai Mubai's emotions.

The Blue Silver Emperor began to absorb the spirit power within Dai Mubai, and this spirit power was fed back to Xu Yuan.

"Second Spirit Skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!"

Dai Mubai wanted to open his mouth to spew a scorching white light wave to attack Xu Yuan.

But Xu Yuan used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to arrive in front of Dai Mubai, throwing a punch from below toward Dai Mubai's chin.

"Bang!"

The fist struck Dai Mubai's chin with precision, the force not particularly violent.

Dai Mubai only felt his chin jerk upward from a clever burst of force, and the White Tiger Intense Light Wave brewing in his throat was instantly disrupted.

That scorching spirit power, which was about to erupt, surged backward and exploded within his body, causing a sharp pain.

"Ugh!" Dai Mubai let out a muffled groan, feeling a tightness in his chest as a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

This wasn't an injury caused by Xu Yuan's strike, but rather his own spirit power backfiring, forcibly bruising his internal organs.

Seeing this, God King Tang San said with satisfaction, "Not bad, he has the style I had back in the day."

Xu Yuan gave Dai Mubai no chance to react, shattering his light barrier with a few punches.

"You're courting death!"

Pained and furious, Dai Mubai ignored the roiling blood in his body, sweeping his left tiger claw through the air with a foul wind, swearing to tear this troublesome fellow before him to shreds.

Xu Yuan had anticipated this; dodging the claw wind with a sidestep, he clenched his right hand into a fist and struck fiercely at Dai Mubai's face.

The fist whistled through the air, landing precisely on the side of Dai Mubai's face.

"Bang—"

With a dull thud, Dai Mubai felt his cheek go numb, his vision darkening in waves.

"First Spirit Skill, Life Entanglement."

Xu Yuan's voice was as cold as ice as the words fell.

More Blue Silver Emperor vines erupted from the ground like awakened giant pythons, coiling frantically around Dai Mubai's arms and waist, instantly wrapping him into an immobile cocoon.

Those golden-glinting vines were dotted with tiny white flowers, yet their fragrance carried an irresistible suppressive force.

Bound tightly, Dai Mubai felt as if his internal spirit power were being pierced by countless needles, draining away continuously along the vines.

"Let me go!" Dai Mubai roared, his muscles bulging.

He tried to break free, but the resilience of the Blue Silver Emperor far exceeded his expectations; the more he struggled, the tighter it coiled, squeezing until his ribs ached.

Xu Yuan crouched down and struck at Dai Mubai's head without hesitation, his fist descending with a powerful gust.

He would not let Dai Mubai off; during their previous fight, the other party had at least intended to beat him into a serious injury.

Dai Mubai was already suffering from the backlash of his spirit power, and now, tightly bound by the Blue Silver Emperor, he had nowhere to hide.

The moment the fist struck his forehead, he felt the world spin, a splash of crimson exploded before his eyes, and his consciousness plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang!"

Another punch landed on his cheek, causing it to swell visibly; a numbing sensation of loose teeth spread through his gums, and blood mixed with saliva trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to roar, to resist, but the Blue Silver Emperor dug into his flesh like steel cables, making even breathing feel like a tearing pain.

Xu Yuan did not stop, his fists raining down on Dai Mubai's shoulders, neck, and chest.

Stunned by the beating, Dai Mubai completely failed to think of using his third spirit skill to deal with Xu Yuan.

The female companion Dai Mubai had brought was so terrified that her face turned pale, and she turned and fled.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu felt incredibly satisfied.

The arrogant look Dai Mubai had worn earlier had made her want to beat him up herself.
