Dai Mubai's Provocation? Crushing the Sick Tiger!

"For you, that brat actually dared to break off the engagement!"

Dai Mubai was already inferior to the eldest prince. Without Zhu Zhuqing, how could he compete for the position of crown prince?

Zhou Tao frowned. So he had come because of Zhu Zhuqing.

Apparently, after Zhu Zhuqing returned, she had dumped this sick tiger.

Dumping him was for the best. Marrying scum like him would have doomed her to a lifetime of tragedy.

"You piece of trash who looks down on people, don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm young."

"You're a useless waste who spends all day drowning in wine and women. Your face is deathly pale—you look like a pig."

"She dumped you because you're trash!"

"If you dare provoke me, I'll beat you into a pig-headed mess until even your mother can't recognize you."

Zhou Tao fired back on the spot. Anyone who dared provoke him would be hit hard.

Dai Mubai looked somewhat older than him, but he was thin and gaunt, like a bamboo pole.

His cheeks were hollow, his gaze gloomy, and his face carried a mean, bitter look.

A prince, yet raised amid the adoration of countless people and still turning out like this. He was the very image of a villain.

Hearing Zhou Tao's words, the surrounding Spirit Masters all burst into laughter.

"So this is a prince of the Star Luo Empire? He's nothing special."

"I heard that among the Star Luo Empire's princes, the eldest prince, Dai Weisi, is the finest. This Dai Mubai is just trash."

"He spends all day playing with prostitutes and got chased out of the imperial city."

The surrounding Spirit Masters whispered among themselves, exposing Dai Mubai's affairs.

They were all Spirit Masters. How could they not know about the royal family's dirty business?

Dai Mubai's face alternated between black and white, his expression constantly shifting.

He had already felt as though he had been cuckolded. Now Zhou Tao had insulted him and torn open his wounds, leaving him filled with rage.

He wanted nothing more than to devour Zhou Tao alive.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly. Since underhanded methods would not work, he would do it openly.

"Brat, don't get ahead of yourself."

"Do you dare compete with me?"

"To settle our grievances."

Dai Mubai was extremely confident. His Soul Power was far higher than Zhou Tao's.

Moreover, he had already obtained his second Spirit Ring and was a Soul Grandmaster.

The other party's Soul Power appeared to be only in the teens. He had the advantage.

Although the Spirit Masters were all taking Zhou Tao's side, Douluo Continent revered the strong. It was a world where the weak were prey to the strong.

As long as he defeated Zhou Tao, these people would fear his strength and no longer dare offend him.

Seeing that he could not outargue Zhou Tao, Dai Mubai forcefully challenged him, hoping to turn the situation around.

Besides, he had no idea what method the other party had used to make Zhu Zhuqing sever ties with him completely.

This grudge had to be settled.

At that moment, Zhou Tao calmly stepped forward two paces and said, "Please enlighten me!"

He wanted to see just how capable Dai Mubai really was.

A glint flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes as he shouted, "White Tiger, Martial Soul Possession!"

A layer of pale light erupted from his body. Every bone in his body crackled as he transformed into a humanoid War Tiger.

Two yellow Spirit Rings rose one after another beneath his feet, and surging Soul Power rushed toward Zhou Tao.

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger. Level 25 Battle Spirit Master. Please enlighten me."

He was actually a level 25 Soul Grandmaster.

Zhou Tao's expression turned serious. He slowly raised his right hand, and a blue-gold Blue Silver Grass surged from his body, transforming into enormous vines that rooted themselves in the ground.

A pale purple Spirit Ring rose from beneath his feet and revolved around his body.

"Zhou Tao, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level 19 Spirit Master. Please enlighten me!"

Dai Mubai raised a brow. "A useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass?"

But in the next second, he froze.

"Your first Spirit Ring is actually a thousand-year Spirit Ring?"

Dai Mubai could hardly believe his eyes.

Even as a Soul Grandmaster, he had not obtained a thousand-year Spirit Ring.

How had Zhou Tao done it?

No wonder Zhu Zhuqing had turned against him because of Zhou Tao. He had not expected a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul to produce such a genius.

Fortunately, the other party's Soul Power Level was not high. With the skills of his two Spirit Rings, he still held a considerable advantage.

At that moment, the surrounding Spirit Masters were also stunned.

"A thousand-year Spirit Ring!"

"He isn't afraid of Dai Mubai's lecherous tyranny. He clearly has confidence."

"This is a genius—an absolute genius."

All Spirit Masters knew that, generally speaking, the first two Spirit Rings could only be absorbed from hundred-year soul beasts.

If someone forcibly absorbed a thousand-year Spirit Ring beyond their level, their body might be unable to bear the excessive Soul Power, causing them to explode and die.

Only someone with an exceptionally powerful physique could possibly absorb a thousand-year Spirit Ring as their first ring.

People like that were all geniuses. Once they matured, they would surely shake the continent.

The next moment, Dai Mubai moved. After his Martial Soul Possession, his strength exploded. Transforming into a War Tiger, he extended the sharp claws on both hands and lunged at Zhou Tao.

Without hesitation, Zhou Tao activated his lightning-infused Blue Silver Vine. Thick blue-gold vines spiraled out like fists, sweeping toward Dai Mubai from every direction.

A faint glimmer flickered in Dai Mubai's evil eyes, but he paid the vines no mind.

With his strength, he could easily tear through them.

"First Spirit Skill: White Tiger Barrier!"

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

A white barrier appeared around his body, blocking the incoming Blue Silver Vines outside.

At the same time, a milky-white beam erupted from his mouth, shooting toward Zhou Tao's chest.

If it hit, Zhou Tao would be killed or severely injured.

Yet what happened next was far beyond his expectations.

Zhou Tao merely flickered and evaded the killing blow.

At the same time, the Blue Silver Vines around him suddenly pierced the white barrier like sharp blades, binding Dai Mubai's entire body.

"First Spirit Skill, Undying Thunder Vine!"

The next instant, thumb-thick lightning emerged from the Blue Silver Vines and instantly surged into Dai Mubai's body.

Though he had one more Spirit Ring than Zhou Tao and should have held the advantage, he was now easily suppressed by his opponent.

What terrified him even more was the horrifying electric shock coursing from the vines, making him feel as though he had been struck by lightning.

Tearing pain erupted from every part of his body, as though scorching lava were repeatedly washing through him. His Soul Power ran wild and exploded within him, while his muscles were forcibly pulled apart and crushed.

Dai Mubai's body became a bloody mess of torn flesh, with white bone faintly visible beneath it.

"This is only a lesson for you. If you dare provoke me again, I'll send you straight to hell."

"And stay away from Zhu Zhuqing. Of course, you no longer have the ability to harass her anyway."

Zhou Tao looked coldly at Dai Mubai and spoke in an icy tone.

He had merely altered the target of the electrical shock slightly, focusing it below Dai Mubai's lower abdomen.

After this lightning strike, Dai Mubai's tool for committing crimes had been confiscated. He would no longer be able to harm the beauties of Douluo Continent.

At that moment, Dai Mubai had only a trace of will left. His entire body convulsed as he lay on the ground, completely numb.

"What impressive methods, Spirit Master."

"Anyone from the Star Luo Empire who dares commit evil in the Heaven Dou Empire deserves this outcome."

The surrounding Spirit Masters all laughed loudly.

"Zhou Tao... one day, I'll make you repay this tenfold..."

Dai Mubai spoke in a low voice, but it was too quiet for anyone else to hear. Then he passed out.
