Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Gu Ling was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had heard some joke, he could not help laughing.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"That fat bastard came over on his own just now and tried to molest my friend. After I stopped him, not only did he not think he was in the wrong, he even summoned his martial soul and attacked me."
"What?"
"Was I supposed to stand there and let him hit me?"
Dai Mubai's expression darkened slightly.
But Gu Ling gave him no chance to speak and continued.
"And judging by how unsurprised you looked just now, this fatty must do this kind of thing all the time, right? Relying on the fact that he's a Soul Master and assuming ordinary people won't dare resist."
"Whenever he sees a girl he likes, he goes over and harasses her."
"If she doesn't want to, he even dares to lay his hands on her."
"Today, he happened to run into me. If it had been an ordinary girl without soul power, would you really think she could only endure it after being bullied by him?"
At this point, the mockery in Gu Ling's eyes became even more obvious. At the same time, he lowered his head and glanced at Ma Hongjun on the ground.
"So what if I beat him?"
"What? Do you have a problem with that?"
As soon as he said that,
the surrounding passersby, who had merely been watching the commotion, immediately began discussing among themselves.
"So that fat guy was the one who started getting handsy?"
"I saw it just now. He really did reach out to lift that girl's veil."
"Doesn't he deserve it?"
"He harassed someone else's girl, got beaten up by her companion, and still had the nerve to call people over to help him?"
As those voices entered his ears, Dai Mubai's expression grew even uglier. Of course, he knew Ma Hongjun was in the wrong, but the problem was... Ma Hongjun was from Shrek Academy!
Now that Gu Ling had beaten him into this state right in front of him, if he did nothing, where would Shrek Academy's dignity be afterward?
Moreover, Gu Ling's completely dismissive attitude toward them had also made Dai Mubai extremely displeased. He shouted angrily.
"Stop spouting nonsense!"
"Whether my friend was right or wrong, we'll educate him after we return. But since you beat him into this state, this matter cannot end like this!"
Hearing that, the corners of Gu Ling's lips curled up slightly. Showing no fear whatsoever, he said in a low voice,
"Oh?"
"So you're saying that when your brother bullies someone, you can take him back and talk it over slowly. But when someone beats your brother, you have to stand up for him immediately?"
"I think I'm starting to understand. For you to turn out like this, the teachers who usually taught you probably weren't much better. After all, a crooked beam makes a crooked roof."
Hearing him insult his mentor, Dai Mubai was completely enraged. He roared,
"You're courting death!"
"White Tiger, possess me!"
The next second, a violent surge of soul power erupted from his body!
Roar—!
A deep tiger's roar suddenly resounded through the street.
Dai Mubai's already towering body swelled another size. Golden hair cascaded down his back, his hands transformed into massive tiger paws, and sharp claws sprang from his fingertips.
"First Soul Skill! White Tiger Barrier!"
Buzz!
The first yellow Soul Ring abruptly lit up, and a layer of milky-white light instantly enveloped Dai Mubai's entire body. His aura visibly rose.
The next second, Dai Mubai suddenly exerted force beneath his feet. The bluestone pavement cracked, and he charged straight at Gu Ling like a ferocious tiger unleashed from its cage!
His massive tiger paw carried a fierce gust of wind as it viciously slammed down at Gu Ling head-on!
Seeing this, Gu Ling's expression did not change in the slightest. He had beaten the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon flat in a direct clash; a White Tiger martial soul was hardly worthy of his fear.
However, Gu Ling clearly had no interest in standing still and trading blows with Dai Mubai. Just as the tiger paw was about to descend, the second purple Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up!
"Second Soul Skill, Void Dragon Assault!"
Buzz—!
The space nearby twisted slightly. Dai Mubai's vision blurred, and Gu Ling's body vanished from before him without warning!
"What happened?!"
"Where did he go? He disappeared?"
Dai Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted. He realized that his opponent had left behind neither a movement trajectory nor an afterimage from high-speed motion, and an intense sense of danger surged within him.
But before he could turn around, ripples had already spread through the space behind him.
In an instant, Gu Ling's figure appeared!
"Boss Dai! Watch your back!"
Oscar's expression changed drastically at the sight, and he immediately called out a warning, but it was already too late.
The bone armor on Gu Ling's right arm instantly tightened. His sharp bone claws carried terrifying force as they savagely struck Dai Mubai's back, and a dull impact exploded through the air!
Even with the White Tiger Barrier protecting him, Dai Mubai still felt a terrifying force wildly surge into his body through his back. The milky-white protective glow shook violently before shattering with a bang!
"Pfft!"
Dai Mubai spat out a mouthful of blood. The blow sent him sprawling forward, his body crashing heavily onto the bluestone street as dust and shattered stones scattered in all directions.
Dai Mubai, who had charged at Gu Ling so aggressively just moments ago, was now sprawled several meters away.
For a moment,
the entire street fell silent.
Oscar's eyes widened. Ma Hongjun, who had only just climbed back to his feet, froze in place and said in disbelief,
"Boss... Boss Dai? Even he can't beat this kid?"
Gu Ling slowly withdrew his bone claws. Looking at Dai Mubai, who was coughing up blood on the ground, his expression remained calm as he mocked,
"I thought you charged in so fiercely because you were much stronger than that fatty."
"Now it seems you're only this capable."
As soon as he said that, Dai Mubai's face, still pressed against the ground, flushed bright red. The gazes of the surrounding onlookers made his face burn even more.
He was a Three-Ring Soul Elder.
And a member of Shrek Academy!
Yet the moment he rushed forward, he had not even touched the corner of Gu Ling's clothes before a single claw strike knocked him to the ground. How could he possibly accept that?
"Bastard!" Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head, the fury in his eyes nearly spilling out as he roared, "You only caught me off guard by using a teleportation soul skill to launch a sneak attack!"
"In a direct fight, you aren't worthy of being my opponent!"
The next second, he suddenly rose from the ground. The White Tiger martial soul, which had just subsided somewhat, erupted completely once more, and violent soul power surged wildly from his body.
Then, the third purple Soul Ring beneath his feet abruptly lit up!
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
As the light of the third Soul Ring fully blossomed, Dai Mubai's aura suddenly soared!
His already massive body expanded again, his muscles stretching his clothes taut. Tufts of white fur grew from the surface of his skin, and his hands completely transformed into enormous tiger paws.
His strength, attack power, defense, and physical prowess were all enhanced in nearly every aspect at that moment. The violent aura of the White Tiger even forced the nearby ordinary people to retreat again.
The next second, the bluestone slabs beneath Dai Mubai's feet exploded apart. His body shot toward Gu Ling like a cannonball, his speed and strength clearly far surpassing what they had been before!
