Arriving at the Sixth Satellite City! The Junior Martial Artist Threshold!

In the footage, after Dai Mubai had trekked for over a dozen hours, a magnificent steel fortress finally appeared at the edge of the horizon.

Sixth Satellite City!

Looking back on the hardships of the journey, Dai Mubai felt an urge to cry out loud.

Along the way, he had witnessed the cruelty of the Wilderness Zone firsthand.

The scenes viewed through the Sky Screen were vastly different from what one saw with their own eyes.

On the Sky Screen, those monsters only looked terrifying, but the pressure and sense of oppression one felt were weakened by dozens or even hundreds of times.

Only after seeing those monsters in person did Dai Mubai realize just how terrifying this strange world truly was.

Those monsters wandering through the ruins, whether in terms of size or their bloodthirsty instincts, far exceeded the ordinary soul beasts in the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had maintained high vigilance throughout the journey, even keeping his Martial Soul possessed the entire time; by now, his soul power was completely exhausted.

Fortunately, his luck was decent, and the beastly intuition granted by his White Tiger Martial Soul allowed him to avoid large-scale beast herds several times.

Only then, before his soul power was entirely depleted, did he see the satellite city!

The towering metal city wall was like a dormant giant beast, cold and heavy. Atop the wall stood rows of thick cannon barrels, shimmering with a cold light.

Dai Mubai mingled with a group of scavengers dressed in rags and covered in dust, passing through the city gate's identity verification without incident.

After the Great Nirvana period, people from survivor settlements in the wild would occasionally come to seek refuge, so the gate guards were accustomed to it. As long as it was confirmed that they were not carrying any viruses, a simple registration was enough to let them pass.

Upon entering the city, the scene before him opened Dai Mubai's eyes.

Wide, smooth asphalt streets were flanked by skyscrapers dozens of stories high, and in the air, sleek flying buses whistled past from time to time. This level of prosperity far exceeded the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

"Gurgle—"

His stomach protested.

Dai Mubai swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva, feeling somewhat helpless.

Having traveled to a strange world, he was penniless. Back on the Douluo Continent, he was a prince who never worried about food or drink, and he possessed no skills for making a living.

Now, having to fill his own stomach was truly a difficult task.

Sigh, the top priority is to first figure out the power hierarchy of this world, and then find a place to stay.

Walking while lost in thought, Dai Mubai looked up again to find a strangely shaped building before him.

It was a massive structure covering a vast area, possessing a deep blue metallic texture throughout, its exterior resembling a colossal spaceship docked in the center of the city.

On the front of the building hung four bold, sweeping characters—Extreme Martial Arts Hall!

Dai Mubai's heart stirred.

The short-haired youth from before had mentioned that the martial arts hall was a place to cultivate martial artists.

Whether for gathering intelligence, making a living, searching for cultivation techniques, or obtaining resources, this was an excellent place to go.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai tightened his tattered coat and slipped quietly into the first-floor lobby of the martial arts hall, following the flow of people coming and going.

The first-floor lobby was very spacious, filled with various strange instruments he had never seen before. Hundreds of people were scattered across different areas, exercising until they were drenched in sweat.

In the center of the hall stood a machine resembling a large punching target.

Several people were gathered around it, queuing up to throw punches at the black target. Every time a punch landed, a number would jump on the screen above the machine.

Is this the instrument for testing strength?

Dai Mubai guessed to himself.

He waited patiently for a while until the crowd in that corner dispersed and the machine stood alone, at which point he walked over quickly.

Standing before the punch strength tester, Dai Mubai took a deep breath.

He wanted to see what level his proud cultivation as a level 37 assault-system battle soul grandmaster would be in this world!

"White Tiger, possess!"

With a low, soft shout, Dai Mubai mobilized all the remaining soul power in his body and erupted with it, holding nothing back!

Then, his bones crackled, his muscles bulged, and his hands instantly transformed into wide tiger claws. To hit the limit of his data, he even directly activated his third soul skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

Under the enhancement of his third soul skill, his strength and attack power instantly doubled.

Dai Mubai bent his legs slightly, exerted force from his waist, and channeled that power through his spine into his right arm. With a shrill, wind-tearing sound, he slammed a heavy punch into the black test target!

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed in the corner.

The target shook violently.

Dai Mubai withdrew his numb right arm and looked up at the display screen above the machine with anticipation.

The red numbers jumped rapidly before finally settling.

"920kg."

Looking at this number, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Dai Mubai's tense face.

The short-haired youth on the Sky Screen had said that the passing line for a junior martial artist was 900 kilograms. Having hit 920 kilograms after activating the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, it meant he had already stepped into the ranks of junior martial artists!

In this world filled with danger, he finally possessed a bit of capital for self-preservation.

However, the smile on his lips had not yet had the chance to fully bloom.

A thin, slight youth carrying a schoolbag, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, walked over from the side while yawning.

He tossed his schoolbag onto the ground with a casual flick of his wrist.

Then, without even settling into a stance, the youth simply twisted his waist and threw a punch at the target with effortless ease.

"Bang!"

The sound was crisp and powerful.

Dai Mubai turned his head instinctively to look at the screen above the youth's machine.

The red numbers flickered for a moment.

"1050kg!"

In that instant, Dai Mubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire body freezing in place.

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul he took such pride in, the White Tiger Vajra Transformation third soul skill he was so proud of, the limit data he had achieved by giving his all... was actually inferior to the casual strike of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child!

The pride of a Star Luo Empire prince and the halo of a Shrek Academy genius were shattered to pieces in this moment.

Outside the Sky Screen, on the Douluo Continent.

In the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire.

The ministers, who had just been offering constant congratulations for Dai Mubai's successful infiltration of the city, were now all silent.

One could hear a pin drop in the great hall.

Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng sat upright on the White Tiger Throne, his hands gripping the pure gold armrests so tightly that the veins on the backs of his hands bulged, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This... how is this possible!"

The Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul was a top-tier beast martial soul in its own right, and the soul ring configuration his son used was the very one employed by the Star Luo Empire's royal family!

Passed down for thousands of years, this soul ring configuration had been time-tested and continuously optimized.

By now, it had reached the perfect ratio, beyond which no further improvement was possible!

With his martial soul possessed and under the effects of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai's raw strength could even bridge a two-level gap to match a Soul King!

Yet that random high school student, who didn't even use a martial soul, had actually struck with power that surpassed Dai Mubai!
