Martial Soul Evolution, Nine Nether White Tiger

Golden Orb.

It was a reward second only to a multicolored orb.

And the one dropped after he killed a Soul Douluo was even more lavish.

The first treasure.

An eighth-grade Soul Tool, the White Tiger Judgment Sword.

The glittering golden greatsword had caught his eye the moment it dropped.

At the time, he had only wanted to shout one thing.

Gold drop!

In this era, Soul Tools were absolutely a crushing advantage.

The White Tiger Judgment Sword was a masterpiece among masterpieces. An ordinary Soul Saint could wield it and fight a Soul Douluo alone.

If the wielder possessed a White Tiger Martial Soul, its power would double.

More importantly, the Soul Tool came with its own Soul Power and did not consume the user's own Soul Power when used.

Soul Power could normally be stored inside it for use in battle. It was practically the perfect offensive weapon.

Unfortunately, no Soul Ring or Soul Bone had dropped.

Only a battle formation had dropped.

The White Tiger Battle Formation.

It was said to be a battle formation from the founding era of the Star Luo Empire, one that had now been lost.

The battle formation currently used by the White Tiger Legion was merely a fragment of its incomplete formation.

A Sub-Grade Martial Soul Evolution Device had also dropped.

It could evolve a Martial Soul once, but it could only be used on Martial Souls below Peak-Grade Martial Souls, and could at most evolve them into Peak-Grade Martial Souls.

That was because it was merely a sub-grade device.

Above it, there should be Martial Soul Evolution Devices that could evolve a Martial Soul once without restrictions.

His own Martial Soul was already a Peak-Grade Martial Soul, while Zhu Zhuqing's happened to be a High-Grade Martial Soul, so he gave the evolution device to her.

In the forest that day, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul evolved.

It was like a demonic beast crawling out of hell.

The Nine Nether Soul Cat.

It changed from a corporeal spirit cat into an illusory soul form, and the Netherworld Qi around it became purer and denser.

That was her transformation.

Fortunately, they could still perform Martial Soul Fusion. It was simply that the fused form had become the even more powerful Nine Nether White Tiger.

And this was Dai Mubai's trump card.

Even he had not expected the Nine Nether White Tiger to become that powerful. Even Su Xiong, a Soul Douluo, had found it difficult to defend against its attacks.

In the end, Su Xiong had relied on speed to disperse the Nine Nether White Tiger.

Its performance was nothing short of monstrous.

"A monstrous prince deserves a monstrous Martial Soul Fusion."

After sensing the Nine Nether White Tiger's strength, Su Xiong could not help but sigh in admiration.

The food was served.

Su Xiong could only stop trying to persuade them and dine with everyone.

Some were dining, while others were anxious.

At this moment, in Dai Weisi's Palace.

Dai Weisi paced back and forth anxiously.

His subordinates still had not managed to find Dai Mubai.

The Defense Clan had already been completely abandoned as well.

How could he not be anxious?

He knew very well that if he could not find Dai Mubai, if he could not kill Dai Mubai...

Then he would be kicked out of the competition!

The news would eventually spread!

The Longxing City Lord was an influential figure in the Star Luo Empire.

And he had simply died like that.

Sooner or later, it would be discovered.

By then, everyone would know just how monstrous Dai Mubai was!

"Find him for me! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find Dai Mubai!"

Dai Weisi clutched at his hair, irritation churning in his heart as he lashed out furiously at his subordinates.

If Dai Mubai escaped—

Then he, Dai Weisi, was doomed to lose!

Zhu Zhuyun, standing nearby, felt as though she were in a dream.

Her younger sister...

Was actually going to win?

She simply could not believe it. Ever since they were young, her sister had always been crushed beneath her feet.

And all because her fiancé was Dai Mubai.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! We've found Dai Mubai!"

At that moment, a figure rushed in and reported.

"What? Where is he?"

The moment he heard that Dai Mubai had been found, Dai Weisi became instantly excited and rushed before the man.

"Dai Mubai has entered the Imperial Capital!"

"What? Wonderful!"

Dai Weisi was overjoyed. "That stupid fool, hahaha! He actually... walked right into the trap."

However, Dai Weisi had barely rejoiced for long.

The next moment, his face turned deathly pale.

"Wait... no... no..."

Dai Weisi slumped back into his seat.

"What if... what if he came to initiate the Throne Succession War?"

No!

No!

Dai Weisi knew very well that, given the strength Dai Mubai had displayed so far—

He was absolutely no match for him.

Soul Emperors and Soul Kings were killed as easily as one pleased!

Wouldn't dealing with him be even more...

In any case, Dai Weisi did not believe he could defeat a Soul Emperor.

Dai Weisi's face was pale as sweat continued to pour from his forehead.

His mouth was dry and his tongue parched.

What should he do?

What should he do?

I...

I don't want to die!

Dai Weisi kept racking his mind for every possible solution he could think of.

He could not be allowed to see Father Emperor!

A fierce glint flashed through Dai Weisi's eyes.

Imperial Palace

The Grand Marshal stepped before the Star Luo Emperor and reported.

"Your Majesty, recently, unidentified individuals have appeared within the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Palace. I suspect... they are from Spirit Hall."

"Come, sit down."

The Star Luo Emperor's expression did not change upon hearing this. He merely raised an eyebrow calmly and gestured for the Grand Marshal to sit.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the Grand Marshal sat down, he was about to say something more when the Emperor interrupted him.

"We will not discuss anything else today. Just sit and watch a good show."

The Star Luo Emperor revealed a meaningful smile.

Today was a special day, after all.

Netherworld Duke's Estate.

"Please take action and kill Dai Mubai!"

Dai Weisi had begged everyone he could, but in the end, he could only turn to the Netherworld Duke.

The people General Divine Eagle had contacted earlier had all refused the moment they heard they were supposed to assassinate Dai Mubai in the Imperial City.

They had practically pointed at his face and called him insane.

Now, he had no other options.

"Can't you just deal with him during the duel? Why must you make a move in the Imperial Capital?"

The Netherworld Duke frowned.

He had no desire to agree to this sort of thing.

At present, the Netherworld Duke had no idea of Dai Mubai's true strength.

He still believed Dai Weisi could easily keep Dai Mubai under control.

Besides, if he personally killed Dai Mubai...

Even as the Netherworld Duke, he would likely bear a disgraceful reputation.

"Your Highness! Dai Mubai and the others have already left Delicious Building and are about to enter White Tiger Street!"

While the two were talking, one of Dai Weisi's men suddenly rushed in and reported the news to him.

"Got it."

Hearing this, Dai Weisi grew even more nervous.

He gritted his teeth. "Proceed according to the plan!"

The Netherworld Duke, standing nearby, immediately furrowed his brow.

"What plan?"

he asked.

Though he had no idea what sort of plan Dai Weisi had come up with at a time like this, it was definitely nothing good.

"Dai Weisi, you'd better not do anything that will displease His Majesty!"

The Netherworld Duke warned him.

"Heh."

Dai Weisi gave a cold laugh and shook his head. "I've already arranged for General Divine Eagle, along with ten Soul Saints and thirty Soul Emperors, to assassinate Dai Mubai!"

"What did you say?"

The Netherworld Duke was instantly shocked.
