Come Down, Come Down-What Are You Doing?

Sun Lie was sent flying backward, crossing the boundary of the Soul Arena platform and crashing heavily onto the safety mat below. He passed out on the spot.

"Big Brother!"

Sun Yan's eyes nearly split from rage, and his mind was shaken to the core!

With Sun Lie no longer threatening Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai had no more reservations.

Sun Yan was merely a defensive-type Soul Ancestor, with limited attacking methods. Faced with Dai Mubai's storm-like assault, he quickly fell into a disadvantage.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After three punches and two kicks, Sun Yan could no longer hold on. He was sent flying and could not get back up.

The host immediately shouted:

"The White Tiger Pagoda Combination wins!"

"Boom!!!"

The audience erupted in thunderous cheers!

"White Tiger! White Tiger! White Tiger!"

The spectators all stood up and applauded enthusiastically. The noble young ladies were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

Even Tang San was deeply shaken. Even after activating his Purple Demon Eyes, he still failed to catch sight of Dai Mubai after the activation of his fourth soul skill.

Tang San thought to himself: If it were me, even with the Purple Demon Eyes and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, I probably couldn't avoid that terrifying attack!

On the Soul Arena platform, Ning Rongrong had only used two skills throughout the entire match and had then been carried around while being bounced about. Now, she was no longer nervous.

She hopped around excitedly, waving and bowing toward the audience. She looked so smug, as if she herself had just slaughtered her way through the entire arena.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Dai Mubai called out helplessly before turning toward the passageway.

"Wait for me!"

Ning Rongrong called out. Perhaps she was simply too excited, but she actually took a running start and boldly leaped onto Dai Mubai's back, wrapping her arms around his neck and hanging onto him.

The soft, warm sensation pressed against his back, and Dai Mubai's footsteps halted. His entire body stiffened.

"Ooh!"

The audience immediately broke into waves of jeers, as if the sounds of countless young ladies' hearts shattering had rung out.

"Come down, come down! What are you doing?"

Dai Mubai hurriedly reached back to pry Ning Rongrong's arms loose.

This little witch... Seriously! In front of so many people, with tens of thousands of spectators watching!

"Sorry! Sorry! I got a little excited!" Ning Rongrong said after Dai Mubai made her get down, her pretty face flushed red.

Dai Mubai subconsciously looked toward the competitors' viewing area.

Zhu Zhuqing's already cold and striking face seemed to have gained another layer of frost.

Dai Mubai's heart tightened, and he hurried toward the passageway.

The five Shrek members in the competitors' viewing area also got up and left, but the uproar in the audience seats around the main Soul Arena platform did not die down for a long time.

Dai Mubai first went to the settlement hall, took out three betting slips, and handed them to the staff member behind the counter.

"Thousand Hands Asura, one-on-one soul battle, bet ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, five-to-one odds, payout fifty thousand."

"Soft Boned Enchanting Rabbit, one-on-one soul battle, bet ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, five-to-one odds, payout fifty thousand."

"Three-Five Combination, two-on-two soul battle, bet ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, five-to-one odds, payout fifty thousand."

The staff member accepted the three slips and respectfully completed Dai Mubai's settlement.

"Young Master Dai, please take this." The staff member presented a golden soul coin card with both hands. "Your principal was thirty thousand, and your profit was one hundred and twenty thousand. After deducting the handling fee, the total is one hundred and forty-four thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The odds for new Soul Masters had always been high, because few people knew their true strength.

Someone like Dai Mubai, who had accurately bet on three matches, each with a large wager, had practically never appeared before.

Although he had taken more than a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from the Great Soul Arena, given Dai Mubai's reputation there, the profits from admission tickets and betting alone could bring the Great Soul Arena hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins from a single match. They could just consider this a share of the profits.

Dai Mubai accepted the card and slipped it into his storage ring, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

This could also be considered taking advantage of his "prophetic" edge to fleece Tang San a little.

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips beside him. "Boss Dai, what are you smiling about? It's only a little over a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. It isn't even enough to buy me a necklace."

Dai Mubai could not help inwardly smiling bitterly.

This was the confidence of the wealthy young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. To her, over a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins was merely someone else's pocket money.

"Let's go. The five of them should still be waiting for us."

When the two arrived in the main hall of the Great Soul Arena, the other five members of Shrek were already waiting there.

Ma Hongjun said excitedly, "Boss Dai was incredible today! You spent the whole match playing the hero and saving the beauty!"

Oscar chimed in from the side, fanning the flames.

Dai Mubai rolled his eyes at them and made a stopping gesture. "Enough, enough! I only wanted to win the soul battle. If you two keep talking nonsense, watch out or I'll beat you both up."

Ma Hongjun and Oscar laughed sheepishly.

"Where's the dean?" Dai Mubai asked, looking around. He did not see Flender anywhere.

Ma Hongjun said, "Who knows where he went? The teacher told us to go back first after we finished our soul battles."

"Fine. Then let's go back." Dai Mubai waved his hand and led the way toward the entrance.

The seven of them walked out of the Great Soul Arena. Ma Hongjun suddenly stopped and smiled. "Uh... Boss Dai, you guys go back first. I'll return later!"

Dai Mubai understood instantly. The little fatty's breathing was heavy, clearly because his Evil Fire had begun acting up again.

He nodded. "All right. Once you're done, return to the academy early. We have training tomorrow!"

Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly. "Got it. Bye-bye!"

With that, he sped off toward the Rose Hotel.

"Boss Dai, what did Fatty go to do?" Xiao Wu asked, her face full of confusion.

Dai Mubai smiled and glanced at Tang San. "You two ruined his fun the day before yesterday. His Evil Fire probably won't be easy to suppress today."

Xiao Wu said irritably, "He's gone off to harm another girl?"

"Harm isn't the right word. It's consensual, and both sides get what they need. If Fatty's Evil Fire isn't released regularly, he could explode and die in severe cases. We can't exactly make him give up cultivation, can we?"

Dai Mubai spoke helplessly.

Ning Rongrong had been listening from the side. She stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Boss Dai, you didn't go with Fatty, did you?"

Dai Mubai's heart tightened, but he casually replied, "I don't have Evil Fire!"

He did not say that he had never gone before. The original owner really had gone quite often in the past. It was only during the three years since he had transmigrated that he had stopped going entirely.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong clearly relaxed. She muttered softly, "That's good, that's good..."

Xiao Wu gave her a teasing smile. "Rongrong, Boss Dai didn't go. What are you happy about?"

Ning Rongrong was rendered speechless by the question, and her pretty face instantly flushed bright red. "I—I... I was only worried that Boss Dai would learn bad habits!"

"Oh..." Xiao Wu and Oscar exchanged a glance, and the two revealed knowing smiles at the same time.

At the end of the group, Zhu Zhuqing kept her head lowered and remained silent. Her fists, however, were clenched tighter and tighter.

Dai Mubai hurriedly called out, "All right, all right. It's getting late. Let's hurry back to the academy!"

With that, he quickened his pace and strode toward the western part of the city.

By the time they returned to Shrek Academy, the night was already deep.

Dai Mubai arrived beneath the dormitory building and waved at everyone. "That's enough for today, everyone. Get some rest early."

With that, he turned and prepared to return to his dormitory.

"Dai Mubai."

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
