Imperial Treatment, the Enemy of the Entire Academy
With a gentle smile on her Zhu Lu quickly walked to Dai Huabin's other side and gently supported his swaying body.
"You just love to show off."
Dai Huabin felt the support coming from both sides, as well as two completely different but equally pleasant fragrances, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.
He gave a weak smile:
"I wasn't actually being reckless. It's just that I've never used this move before. If Sister Wu Ming hadn't activated her Martial Soul Avatar, I really wouldn't have dared to use it."
Indeed, that was the case. If Wu Ming hadn't activated her Martial Soul Avatar, Dai Huabin wouldn't have dared to use it, otherwise he could easily have seriously injured her.
Zhu Lu nodded slightly. She understood Dai Huabin and knew that he never did anything without being sure of success, so her worries eased a little.
Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, showed no intention of letting go; instead, she held on even more firmly.
Dai Huabin was thus sandwiched between two girls with excellent figures on either side, unable to move, mainly because he really didn't have much strength at the moment.
"Your move was definitely a high-level Soul Sage level attack; it was incredibly powerful," Ma Xiaotao exclaimed, sensing the weakness emanating from Dai Huabin.
Just then, Han Ruoruo helped Wu Ming walk over.
Wu Ming's face was still pale, but her eyes were full of admiration and a strange light.
"You lad... no wonder Mu En values you as a genius!"
She took a breath, then slapped her thigh and said with great pride,
"I keep my word. From today onwards, I'll be your sparring partner!"
Han Ruoruo and rubbed her forehead, whispering a reminder, "Ming'er, be a little more ladylike!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming deflated like a punctured balloon, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.
Zhang Lexuan walked over gracefully, her expression filled with astonishment as the Grandmaster.
"Huabin's move truly possesses the strength of a high-level Soul Sage. It's unbelievable that a level 48 Soul Ancestor could unleash such a powerful attack."
An even greater upheaval was stirred within her.
He truly deserves to be called a "monstrous" genius by even Mu En.
With him in this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, Shrek Academy's championship position is practically guaranteed.
Not to mention, Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu also possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that they have yet to unleash at full power.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lexuan gently suggested:
"Alright, the battle is over. Huabin and Ming'er are both quite exhausted and must be hungry. Why don't we go to the Inner Academy canteen and rest for a bit?"
The suggestion was immediately approved by everyone.
The atmosphere in the private room of the Inner Academy dining hall was somewhat strange.
Dai Huabin was still being "supported" by Ma Xiaotao and Zhu Lu on either side, enjoying emperor-like treatment, which made Wang Dong'er grit her teeth.
She silently poked at the Soul Beast in the bowl, holding back a surge of energy.
I must return to the Clear Sky Sect during this holiday! I must become stronger!
Otherwise... otherwise how will I beat this increasingly outrageous guy up in the future!
Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie whispered to each other, glancing occasionally at Dai Huabin, who was surrounded by beautiful women, and then at Wang Dong'er, whose complexion was not good. Their expressions were somewhat subtle.
Ning Tian quietly sipped his juice, silently observing everyone.
Dai Huabin wasn't thinking too much about it; he was chatting with a few girls about his month-long seclusion.
"So you've been meditating under the Golden Tree for the past month?" Wang Dong'er couldn't help but ask, her tone tinged with suspicion.
"More or less," Dai Huabin replied casually.
"Nobody would believe you!" Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes.
After a month of cultivation, his Soul Power jumped from level 47 to 48, and he even mastered a technique capable of defeating Soul Sage. Who are you kidding?
Zhu Lu smiled slightly to herself; Huabin was increasingly enjoying teasing Dong'er.
The meal went fairly well, and Dai Huabin finally regained some strength, no longer having to be "held hostage" by his senior.
After lunch, it was already afternoon.
Zhang Lexuan looked at everyone, and finally turned the conversation to Dai Huabin.
"Huabin, there's something I need to inform you of in advance. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament will officially begin in half a month."
Everyone perked up, knowing that the important matter had arrived.
"As per the academy's arrangements, we must depart ahead of schedule and proceed to the Mingdou Mountain Range to complete our Inner Academy surveillance mission."
Zhang Lexuan paused for a moment, then continued:
"Five days from now, we will set off for the Mingdou Mountain Range!"
"Mingdou Mountain Range?"
Wang Dong'er repeated, "I don't quite know where I am."
She was heading home towards the Heavenly Soul Empire.
"Yes, Evil Soul Master often appear there."
Zhang Lexuan explained,
"The monitoring mission before this competition is both to familiarize us with teamwork in advance and to eliminate a group of recently active Evil Soul Master."
Those present were all elites from the Shrek Academy, and they were well aware of the dangers posed by Evil Soul Master, so they all became serious for a moment.
The group nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Zhu Lu, who had been sitting quietly next to Dai Huabin, suddenly spoke softly.
"Huabin, is Uncle Dai somewhere in the Mingdou Mountain Range?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin was also taken aback.
He then remembered that since awakening his memories of his past life, he had never seen his father in this life, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.
Dai Hao has been stationed at the military fortress in the Mingdou Mountain Range for many years to resist the infiltration of the Sun Moon Empire and to eliminate the Evil Soul Master on the border.
Thinking of Dai Hao, Dai Huabin's thoughts drifted a little further away.
He had always been curious about what kind of mindset Dai Hao had when he gave the White Tiger Dagger to Huo Yuhao's mother Huo Yun'er, in his memories of his previous life.
This is really a bit, cough cough...
Zhang Lexuan and the others realized what Zhu Lu meant.
"That's right! White Tiger Duke is stationed in the Mingdou Mountain Range!"
Ma Xiaotao clapped her hands. "That's great, Huabin! With your father's help, isn't this mission much easier?"
Wu Ming and Han Ruoruo nodded as well.
"Hmm, probably," Dai Huabin said casually, but he wasn't so optimistic.
He was thinking of the "Death Messenger" who had managed to escape from Xuan Zi, a Level 98 Super Douluo, with ease.
That guy is hailed as the strongest Soul King in the Douluo Continent world.
I should remind them later, Dai Huabin thought to himself.
During this period, he trained with the Main Team members such as Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, and their relationship was quite good. There was no need for him to watch them make mistakes.
After the meal, the group did not disperse immediately.
At Zhang Lexuan's suggestion, the group took a leisurely stroll around Sea God Island to relax.
Sea God Island by ancient trees, fresh air, and a gentle lake breeze, making it a truly refreshing place.
However, the combination of this team is simply too eye-catching.
Dai Huabin walked in the middle, with Zhu Lu and Wang Dong'er on his left and right sides respectively.
Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, Cui Yajie, Ning Tian, and a few other girls followed behind, chattering away.
Leading the way were three stunningly beautiful senior students, Zhang Lexuan, Wu Ming, and Han Ruoruo, all renowned in the Inner Academy.
A group of stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, surrounded the only man in the group.
This scene was incredibly impactful for the Inner Academy disciples who happened to be passing by.
"That... that's Grandmaster Zhang Lexuan, right? And Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming and Golden Fairy Han Ruoruo?"
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Senior Ma Xiaotao is here too!"
"Are those girls in the back the Reserve Team? Wow, they're all so beautiful!"
"Who's that guy in the middle? And why is he doing this?!"
"Who else could it be but Dai Huabin, the Reserve Team captain!"
"Damn! This is so awesome! Being surrounded by so many beautiful women is the pinnacle of life!"
Various envious, jealous, and sour whispers came from all directions. Although the voices were not loud, everyone present was sharp-witted and perceptive.
Wang Dong'er blushed slightly and moved a little awkwardly to the side. Xiao Xiao and Cui Yajie, on the other hand, chuckled secretly, occasionally glancing at Dai Huabin with teasing expressions.
Ma Xiaotao, ever eager for chaos, deliberately moved closer to Dai Huabin and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:
"Oh dear, Huabin, look at you, you're practically becoming the enemy of the Inner Academy."
Listening to the surrounding discussions and sensing the different reactions of the girls around him, Dai Huabin's expression remained unchanged.
He simply lowered his voice, making a soft remark that only those around him could hear.
"There's nothing I can do; who can blame me for being so outstanding? It's only natural that people would be jealous."
"Pfft!"
Zhu Lu, who was standing next to him, was the first to burst out laughing.
Even the usually aloof Ling Luochen turned his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Wang Dong'er kicked a pebble on the ground with her toe in anger and muttered under her breath:
"Narcissism!"
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Lexuan, who was walking at the front, turned around and looked at the group of people playing around. A smile appeared in her silver eyes.
She felt that the team atmosphere was actually quite good.
