Are You Really 15? Are You Really Level 46?

"You don't need to know the young master's identity."

Su Xiong snorted coldly.

"You can take a guess."

Dai Mubai spoke instead.

"Young master..."

Su Xiong was immediately somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected Dai Mubai to reveal his identity.

Dai Mubai merely waved a hand.

If he could win over the Defense Clan, then revealing his identity would not matter.

Niu Gao's expression instantly turned cold. "Are you people from the Clear Sky Sect?"

"The Clear Sky Sect?"

Dai Mubai raised a brow, pretending to be somewhat displeased. "On Star Luo Empire territory, the first thing out of your mouth is the Clear Sky Sect. Do you still hold the Star Luo Imperial Family in any regard?"

Dai Mubai understood very well that different people required different attitudes if one wanted to win their hearts.

For people like Ma Hongjun, he should build a sincere friendship.

For someone like Hu Liena, he only needed to beat her into submission, and she would fall in love with him on her own.

But when dealing with people like Niu Gao and Tai Tan, who had long grown accustomed to serving as family retainers—

Naturally, he had to take a more arrogant attitude.

The more he displayed his nobility, the less likely they would be to resist.

"What? You're... someone from the Imperial Family?"

Niu Gao was immediately shaken.

What kind of Imperial Family member could have a Soul Douluo as a guard?

Then, it could only be a Prince.

Could the person before him actually be a Prince?

Dai Mubai said nothing, merely taking out his token.

Su Xiong at his side also produced his guard token.

The instant the two tokens appeared, Niu Gao and his son hurriedly said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Although a Soul Douluo's status was not actually inferior to that of a Prince, this Prince was clearly different.

After all, he had a Soul Douluo as his guard.

His status was obviously extraordinary.

Moreover, his tone and attitude just now had been somewhat offensive.

At this moment, Niu Gao became exceedingly polite.

"Your Highness, I was disrespectful just now. Our Defense Clan is willing to reveal the location of the Breaking Clan."

Niu Gao said.

"Good."

Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction.

In order to keep the Defense Clan under his control, while showing his satisfaction, Dai Mubai also revealed his displeasure toward the Clear Sky Sect.

"I know about what happened between you and the Clear Sky Sect. The moment danger appeared, the Clear Sky Sect abandoned you. What a disgrace!

The Clear Sky Sect merely relies on the prestige of its ancestors to strut about the continent now.

The Imperial Family is also utterly disappointing, so incompetent now that it has allowed the Upper Three Sects to steal all the limelight!"

Dai Mubai lowered his eyes coldly and glanced at Niu Gao.

At this moment, Niu Gao kept his head lowered, cold sweat pouring down his face. He did not dare say a single word.

Good heavens!

This guy...

How could he be so bold...

How did he dare badmouth the Star Luo Emperor directly...

He was truly ruthless!

Zhu Zhuqing's body instantly tensed, and her heart filled with anxiety.

Su Xiong looked around fearfully, pretending he had heard nothing just now.

His Highness had some nerve.

"Confused?"

Dai Mubai glanced at Niu Gao and continued, "I may be a Prince of the Star Luo Empire, but I have been away from the Imperial Capital for many years. Now, I don't even know what has become of it."

"Your Highness, since you are a Prince, why...?"

Niu Gao was immediately curious upon hearing this.

Seeing that Niu Gao had already taken the bait, Dai Mubai spoke leisurely. "You know about the Throne Succession War, right?"

"My laughable elder brother is eight years older than me, yet he is only Level 45 now... In two years, at most, he'll be Level 49."

"Meanwhile, I am already Level 46. In two years, I will have long since broken through to Soul King. In that case, wouldn't the throne be mine for the taking?"

Dai Mubai spoke with an arrogant expression.

As for why Dai Weisi was supposedly Level 45 now, he had made it up.

It was just so he could compare himself against him.

After all, if he did not know the truth, then Niu Gao certainly would not either.

Sure enough, Niu Gao did not care about any of that at all.

Instead, he stared in shock at the youth before him.

Eight years younger than his elder brother.

Though he did not know much about matters in the Imperial Capital, he did know that the age limit for the Throne Succession War was under twenty-five.

Then...

"Then, Your Highness, does that mean you are... 15 Years Old this year?"

Niu Ben was equally stunned. Swallowing hard, he asked.

A 15-year-old Level 46 Soul Ancestor?

How was that possible?

Under normal circumstances, someone who reached Soul Ancestor by the age of twenty was already considered a genius!

This...

Niu Gao beside him was even more shocked.

Such talent reminded him of...

Tang Hao!

No!

He...

was even stronger than Tang Hao!

"Now do you understand why I did not tell you my identity? Dai Weisi is looking for me right now. If my imperial brother learns of this, it may cause me some trouble."

Dai Mubai spoke calmly, but his tone was filled with confidence. Clearly, he did not think much of the matter.

Of course.

A 15-year-old Level 46 Soul Ancestor had every right to be confident—more than every right.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. We definitely won't tell anyone."

Niu Gao hurriedly said.

"Is that so? How can I be sure you won't tell anyone? Just based on your word?"

Su Xiong stepped forward, speaking with a wary expression.

He was not stupid either. Naturally, he saw what Dai Mubai was doing and took the initiative to lend a hand.

"Your Highness, we cannot let our guard down! We can't trust him so easily! How about..."

Though Su Xiong was speaking to Dai Mubai, he watched Niu Gao vigilantly, his gaze icy.

What?

Niu Gao immediately grew tense upon hearing this.

Could it be...

They wanted to... silence him?!

This guard did not seem weaker than him. If they really fought...

Damn it!

I shouldn't have asked in the first place.

How had this somehow gotten dragged into the Prince Succession Struggle?

At this moment, Niu Gao was filled with regret.

This mouth of mine...

It really did bring trouble with every word...

"No, Su Xiong."

Dai Mubai waved his hand. "I want to be friends with the Defense Clan."

"Be friends?"

Niu Gao was immediately puzzled upon hearing that.

Could this prince possibly be trying to recruit him?

"At present, I'm merely a prince as well," Dai Mubai said. "Clan Leader Niu, I'll be frank. I need to guard against Dai Weisi, but I'm short on manpower. I hope you can lend me a hand."

"This..."

Niu Gao showed a hesitant expression, cursing himself several times over in his heart.

What friends? This was clearly recruitment!

Sigh! If I'd known, I wouldn't have come back early. Then none of this mess would have happened.

That was a prince. Agreeing to him meant joining the Prince Succession Struggle.

But if he refused, now that he knew the other party's identity, did he truly still have the right to refuse?

Seeing Niu Gao remain silent, Dai Mubai understood that he was probably unwilling.

"Clan Leader Niu, what realm do you think I can reach?" Dai Mubai asked with a light smile.

"A Titled Douluo!"

Niu Gao answered without hesitation. "With Your Highness's talent, you are in no way inferior to Tang Hao. At the very least, you'll become a Titled Douluo!"

"Of course, that Tang Hao vanished for decades after causing that huge disturbance. Compared to Your Highness, he naturally can't measure up."

"Tang Hao? Heh heh, Niu Gao, do you know? Tang Hao has already broken through to Super Douluo."

Dai Mubai seemed to have heard something amusing and let out a cold laugh.

"What? That bastard!"

Niu Gao was stunned.
