The Tenth Place on the Hypocrite Rankings Is Revealed: Dai Mubai Abandons His Fiancée and Flees His Fate!

[Special function activated: Thought Manifestation]

[The true thoughts of those on the rankings will soon be extracted and publicly displayed]

The bullet comments exploded instantly.

[What the hell? It can read minds too?]

[Damn, this is way too brutal!]

[Dai Mubai is finished, hahaha]

[Even what you think in your heart is going to be exposed?]

In Nording City, Dai Mubai's face went deathly pale.

"No... impossible..."

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

The image on the Light Screen changed.

Suotuo City, Rose Hotel, late at night three years ago.

Fifteen-year-old Dai Mubai lay on a bed in a luxurious suite, with two sleeping twin girls beside him.

Holding a wineglass, he stared at the ceiling with his evil eyes, a self-mocking smile curling his lips.

A mass of golden light floated out from above Dai Mubai's head and condensed into words.

[Thought extraction time: March 8th, 2638 Douluo Calendar, three quarters past midnight]

[Thought content: Since I'm dead either way, I might as well drown myself in pleasure here. That bastard Dai Weisi will definitely kill me. Going back means death, and staying here means I'll die sooner or later too. So I might as well enjoy myself while I can. If I can live another day, I'll have another day of fun. Zhu Zhuqing? What does that little girl know? She's still young and has no idea how cruel the Star Luo Royal Family is. Once she grows up, she'll naturally forget about me, and the Zhu Family will find her someone better. I'm doing this for her own good, so she won't have to die with me someday. As for becoming stronger? Heh, my talent is what it is. No matter how hard I cultivate, I can't beat Dai Weisi. Why make myself suffer for nothing?]

[I'm fucking sick!]

[What do you mean, "for her own good"? You mean for your own good!]

[Living another day means another day of fun? Is that even something a human would say?]

[Zhu Zhuqing was being hunted down while you were drinking with women, and you still say it was for her own good?]

[Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!]

[Dai Mubai, you're not human!]

In the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianling smashed the armrest of his dragon throne with a slap.

"Rebellious son! A complete and utter disgrace!"

Golden Soul Power erupted from his body, shaking roof tiles loose throughout the hall.

"You abandoned even yourself, yet you still have the nerve to call it a strategic retreat?!"

Dai Weisi stood below, smiling so broadly that his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Father, please calm your anger. Third Brother is young and ignorant. He must have been confused for a moment."

He turned to Zhu Zhuyun and signaled with his eyes.

Zhu Zhuyun nodded and posted a comment.

[Zhu Zhuyun of the Star Luo Empire: My sister nearly lost her life for this kind of man back then. Heh, was it worth it?]

A flood of supportive comments immediately poured in.

[Miss Zhu Zhuqing, run! A man like this isn't worth keeping!]

[Sister, wake up and cut your losses in time!]

[Break off the engagement! It has to be broken off!]

At the border of the Star Luo Empire, within a dense forest somewhere.

At the White Tiger Sect headquarters, inside the council hall.

More than a dozen white-haired elders sat around a round table, every one of them looking extremely grim.

The First Elder at the head of the table slammed his palm down hard.

"Shameful! He has utterly disgraced the White Tiger Sect!"

His fingers trembled as he typed in the comments.

[First Elder of the White Tiger Sect: Dai Mubai's character is utterly lacking. He is unfit to serve as heir apparent to the Star Luo Royal Family. Starting today, our sect formally declares its support for stripping him of his place in the line of succession.]

[Second Elder of the White Tiger Sect: Agreed.]

[Third Elder of the White Tiger Sect: Agreed.]

[Fourth Elder of the White Tiger Sect: This child has dishonored his ancestors and should be expelled from the family records.]

A series of declarations flooded the screen.

The comments exploded completely.

[Even the White Tiger Sect won't acknowledge him anymore?]

[Now he's really finished.]

[The Star Luo Royal Family is going to completely abandon Dai Mubai.]

In Nording City, Dai Mubai trembled all over.

"No... this isn't real... I didn't..."

His lips quivered, and he could barely form a complete sentence.

Xiao Wu gave a cold laugh, clutching Tang San's arm as she moved two steps away and deliberately put distance between herself and Dai Mubai.

"Third Brother, let's stay away from him. I don't want to be disgusted just standing near him."

Tang San frowned without speaking, but disappointment was evident in his gaze as well.

In the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Weisi turned with a smile and quietly instructed the leader of the shadow guards behind him.

"Go. Seal off the Nether Duke's Estate."

The shadow guard commander froze.

"Your Highness, this..."

"What? You dare question my orders?"

Dai Weisi's voice turned cold, killing intent flashing through his evil eyes.

"The second daughter of the Zhu Family remains engaged to the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince's reputation is in ruins, the Zhu Family, as a family joined to the royal house by marriage, naturally has to give the royal family an explanation. Sealing the estate is for the Zhu Family's protection, so no one takes this opportunity to cause trouble."

His words sounded righteous, but the shadow guard commander heard the threat beneath them.

"This subordinate obeys."

Within less than a quarter of an hour, the Nether Duke's Estate was surrounded by more than a hundred shadow guards.

Zhu Tianyang, head of the Zhu Family, stood at the estate gates with a livid expression.

"Dai Weisi, what is the meaning of this?"

A shadow guard commander cupped his fists.

"Duke Zhu, please do not misunderstand. The First Prince said this is to protect your estate's safety. Now that the Sky Screen has exposed the Third Prince's affairs, there may be petty villains looking to stir up trouble. We have therefore been ordered to guard this place."

Zhu Tianyang sneered.

"Protection? Looks more like house arrest to me."

He turned and returned to the estate, his steps heavy.

The image on the Light Screen split in two.

On the left: the Nether Duke's Estate, sealed off.

On the right: the comments scrolling frantically.

[Damn, Dai Weisi is ruthless!]

[He's taking advantage of the situation.]

[The Zhu Family has been completely pinned down.]

[Dai Mubai has dragged the Zhu Family down with him.]

Just then, an ice-blue comment slowly drifted across the screen.

The characters were three times larger than ordinary comments and radiated a cold, ghostly glow.

[Zhu Zhuqing of the Star Dou Great Forest: Dai Mubai, I, Zhu Zhuqing, hereby announce before the entire continent—our engagement is void from this day forth. Whether we live or die, we will have nothing to do with each other ever again.]

Everyone across the continent was stunned, and the comments froze for three seconds.

[Well done!]

[Miss Zhu, you did great!]

[That's what a true heroine should be!]

[Good riddance! A scumbag like this isn't worth keeping!]

[Sister, you came to your senses just in time!]

In Nording City, Dai Mubai's vision went dark, and he nearly collapsed.

"No... Zhuqing..."

His voice trembled. He wanted to say something in the comments, but his fingers shook so badly that he could not type a single word.

The Light Screen gave him no chance.

The image changed again.

Shrek Academy, in front of the dormitory building, half a month ago.

Zhu Zhuqing had just arrived at the academy, dressed in tight black clothing and looking exhausted.

When she saw Dai Mubai, a flash of joy appeared in her eyes.

"Brother Mubai..."

But Dai Mubai's face was cold, his evil eyes filled with disdain.

"Don't call me brother. It's disgusting."

He looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down, a mocking smile on his lips.

"You spent three years chasing me all the way to Suotuo City? Tsk, so this is all the Zhu Family is capable of."

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale.

"I... I was hunted down all the way here..."

"Hunted down?"

Dai Mubai cut her off with a cold laugh.

"That only means you're useless. I've lived perfectly well in Suotuo City these past three years. If you had any ability, you wouldn't have been chased into this state."

He turned to leave, but Zhu Zhuqing grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother Mubai, didn't we... didn't we agree that we would become stronger together and return together to reclaim everything...?"

Dai Mubai flung off her hand with such force that Zhu Zhuqing staggered back two steps.

"Agreed? When did I ever agree to that? Stop flattering yourself."

He raised his hand as if to strike her.

Zhu Zhuqing instinctively shut her eyes, but the expected pain never came.

When she opened them, Dai Mubai had already gone far away, leaving behind only one icy sentence.

"Stay away from me. Don't get in my way."

The image froze on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

There were no tears in her eyes, only deep disappointment and coldness.

The comments fell silent.

Then furious words covered the entire Light Screen.

[Dai Mubai, are you even fucking human?!]

[You were going to hit a woman? Beast!]

[Zhu Zhuqing searched for you across thousands of miles, and this is how you treated her?]

[I'm going to throw up. I really am.]

[Shrek Academy accepts trash like this?]

A violet-gold comment floated past.

[Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Miss Zhu Zhuqing, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect welcomes you. A talent like you should not be buried in a place like Shrek.]

Soon after, Ning Fengzhi's comment appeared as well.

[Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Our sect welcomes young Soul Masters of noble character to join us at any time.]

[Sword Douluo Chen Xin: This old man would also like to meet Miss Zhu.]

The three comments flooded the screen, shaking the entire continent.

[Damn, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is personally recruiting her?]

[This treatment is way too good.]

[Zhu Zhuqing has turned misfortune into fortune.]

Spirit Hall, Pope Hall.

Bibi Dong sat upon her throne, watching the Light Screen with a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

"Interesting."

She instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her.

"Yue Guan, make a trip to Suotuo City and bring back the account books from the Rose Hotel."

Chrysanthemum Douluo froze for a moment, then immediately understood.

"Your Holiness is wise."

In less than half an hour, the manager of the Rose Hotel in Suotuo City was taken under control by a Spirit Hall branch.

A thick account book was transmitted to Spirit Hall headquarters, then scanned and uploaded onto the Sky Screen.

[Chrysanthemum Douluo of Spirit Hall: Everyone, please look at Dai Mubai's spending records from the past three years.]

Dense rows of accounts appeared on the Light Screen.

[March 15th, 2638 Douluo Calendar: Dai Mubai spent 300 Gold Soul Coins, accompanied by female twin sisters, drunk for three days.]

[April 2nd, 2638 Douluo Calendar: Dai Mubai spent 500 Gold Soul Coins, reserved the venue for three days, accompanied by five women.]

[May, 2638 Douluo Calendar...]

[2639 Douluo Calendar...]

[Three-year cumulative spending: over 100,000 Gold Soul Coins; 87 women recorded as companions]

Three seconds later, the comments went completely insane.

[100,000 Gold Soul Coins?!]

[Eight-seven women?!]

[Dai Mubai, are you fucking an animal?!]

[Zhu Zhuqing was being hunted while you were whoring around?!]

[Trash among trash!]

In Nording City, Dai Mubai spat out a mouthful of blood.

The White Tiger Martial Soul within him trembled violently, golden light flickering wildly in his evil eyes.

"Ah!"

He screamed, dropping to one knee as the Soul Power throughout his body ran rampant.

Flender's expression changed drastically.

"Mubai!"

But it was already too late.

The golden light around Dai Mubai abruptly dimmed, and his Soul Power receded like the tide.

[Warning: Dai Mubai has triggered the ranking's punishment mechanism due to overwhelming public outrage and his unworthy character]

[Punishment: Soul Power drops by two levels]

Dai Mubai's body shook, and he collapsed limply to the ground, his face deathly pale.

"No..."

His voice was weak, his eyes filled with despair.

The comments erupted in cheers.

[Serves him right!]

[Retribution is here!]

[The Sky Screen is awesome!]

The Light Screen shifted toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zhu Zhuqing sat on a tree branch when a soft golden glow suddenly surged from her body.

[Assessment: Zhu Zhuqing resolutely broke off the engagement, shattering the shackles of fate and meeting the Sky Screen's reward criteria]

[Reward One: Speed attribute permanently increased by 10%]

[Reward Two: One divinely bestowed self-healing pill]

A jade-green pill appeared out of thin air and landed in Zhu Zhuqing's palm.

She froze for a moment, then clenched the pill tightly, her gaze resolute.

The comments erupted once more.

[Miss Zhu Zhuqing is so lucky!]

[This is what it means for Heaven's Will to have eyes!]

[She was right to break off the engagement!]

The Light Screen trembled.

Dai Mubai's name was erased by a streak of blood-red light, turning into drifting ash.

Huge blood-red characters appeared.

[Dai Mubai's judgment is complete]

[Next, a rapid succession of reveals will be conducted for ranks nine through three]

[Forces involved: Spirit Hall, Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Clear Sky Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan]
