Overwhelming Dai Mubai

Dai Mubai immediately understood what was going on when he saw Ning Yao's emerald-green eyes faintly glowing.

He sneered and withdrew his hand.

"Kid, since we're both soul masters, don't say I'm bullying you."

"Do you dare duel me? Only a hero deserves a beauty!"

Before Ning Yao could even speak, Zhu Zhuqing's face beside him had already gone completely dark.

"Dai Mubai, don't go too far."

Gritting her teeth as she looked at Dai Mubai before her, she could never have imagined that her fate would be bound to a man like this.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'll handle this myself."

After taking a deep breath and calming herself, Zhu Zhuqing clasped her fists toward Ning Yao and spoke apologetically.

This scene clearly made Dai Mubai even angrier.

Without caring about anything else, he raised his hand. As his martial soul possessed him, a massive tiger claw came crashing down toward Ning Yao.

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly summoned her Netherworld Spirit Cat, intending to block the attack for Ning Yao, only to discover that he had somehow already moved in front of her.

Ning Yao was rather speechless at this point. If he remembered correctly, he had not even said a single word the entire time.

What an undeserved disaster...

Still, this let him see what the so-called Shrek Seven Monsters were like.

Ning Yao had only one assessment: this Dai Mubai was even more disgusting than in the original story.

He raised one hand and extended a finger.

This seemingly insignificant finger met the incoming tiger claw. As Dai Mubai sneered wildly, the claw seemed to have struck steel and could not advance another inch.

No matter how hard Dai Mubai exerted himself, the tiger claw did not move in the slightest.

"Young man, your name is Dai Mubai, right?"

Ning Yao looked at the blond man close before him and applied a little force with his fingertip.

Bang!!

In an instant, Dai Mubai was slammed into the ground. The paving stones shattered into spiderweb-like cracks beneath him, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones.

Dai Mubai coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the ground, and who knew how many teeth he had lost.

Ning Yao's expression did not change much. Looking down at Dai Mubai, he spoke calmly.

It was true that he was a spirit formed from Jianmu, and it was also true that the only divine power within him belonged to the Path of Abundance. But it was equally true that he himself was strong even aside from the Abundance.

Especially in a low-level plane like Douluo, he could pierce through this world without using any power at all.

Looking at Dai Mubai's miserable state, Ning Yao gently shook his head.

"And don't misunderstand. I never agreed to duel you. You're not qualified."

"As for Miss Zhu Zhuqing..."

He turned back and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing behind him, whose mouth had fallen into an O as she stood there dumbfounded.

"She and I truly only met by chance. I don't want to hear you say such things again. Otherwise, it won't be this simple next time."

Dai Mubai lay miserably on the ground, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth. Even so, he still struggled to nod.

"Yes, yes, yes, Senior. As you command!"

He had been completely frightened senseless.

He had not expected Zhu Zhuqing to be telling the truth. This really was a senior!

In all his years, he had only felt this kind of oppressive presence from Headmaster Flender!

He had actually provoked such a young Soul Sage!

Dai Mubai was utterly dumbfounded. Regret had already begun to fill him. If he had known, he would have just let Zhu Zhuqing, that wild woman, do as she pleased. Why had he come over to stand up for a woman?

He was filled with remorse, but all he could do now was lie on the ground and nod humbly.

He could barely even stand up now.

Ning Yao did not concern himself with Dai Mubai any further.

He turned to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Miss, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Having just come back to her senses, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly nodded at Ning Yao.

"Thank you, Senior. I've caused you trouble."

She clasped her fists as she spoke, but the astonishment in her heart only grew stronger.

She truly had not misjudged him, but with Dai Mubai disrupting things, she no longer had the face to seek Ning Yao's guidance.

At that thought, Zhu Zhuqing's disgust for Dai Mubai deepened even further.

Before leaving, Ning Yao still offered Zhu Zhuqing a word of advice.

"If you don't want to be affected by someone like him, stay farther away from him. Your talent is suited for a better place."

Zhu Zhuqing did not argue when she heard this and nodded deeply.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior."

She had finally seen things clearly. If she continued to stay here with someone like Dai Mubai, then her ending would probably be nothing but death.

Seeing this, Ning Yao said nothing more. His figure flashed, and he vanished from where he stood.

After seeing Ning Yao leave, Dai Mubai, who was sprawled on the ground like a beaten dog, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and looked at Zhu Zhuqing standing nearby.

"Zhu Zhuqing, help me up. We're going back to the academy together."

Dai Mubai spoke in a low voice, but Zhu Zhuqing remained silent.

His brows immediately furrowed.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten our relationship?"

Yet Zhu Zhuqing still ignored him.

She kept thinking about the "better place" Ning Yao had mentioned.

As for Dai Mubai?

After casting him a disgusted glance, she left.

No matter how Dai Mubai shouted after her, it was useless.

In the end, two scantily clad young women emerged from the crowd and carried Dai Mubai away.

The discussions among the surrounding onlookers immediately grew louder.

Everyone chimed in at once, all of them discussing Dai Mubai and wondering just who Ning Yao was.

Some people even recognized Dai Mubai.

This scene made Dai Mubai's face, before he was carried away, flush red.

He wished he could immediately jump up and beat every one of these mocking people around him, teaching them a lesson.

Unfortunately, his injuries simply would not allow it.

In a moment of anger, he even tugged at the wound on his face and let out a piercing scream.

At once, the criticism around him became even louder.

Dai Mubai: "..."

He was going to find Headmaster Flender!

He would make the headmaster avenge him!

And that bitch Zhu Zhuqing—Dai Mubai nearly ground his teeth to pieces in rage.

He would definitely make those two pay the price!

But as he was thinking this, Ning Yao had already spent a little money and found himself a simple place to stay.

At the same time, he took the time to leave word at Spirit Hall.

Of course, he was certainly not revealing his identity.

He merely told the manager there that if an important figure from Spirit Hall came looking for someone in a few days, they should come find him.

Although the manager did not quite understand and might even have thought Ning Yao was not normal, he still nodded and agreed.
