The Crown Prince Position? Stay Steady, No Rush

Dai Mubai summoned his Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul, along with five Soul Ring: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black.

Zhu Zhuqing also summoned the Nine Nether Spirit Cat Martial Soul, as well as three Soul Ring: yellow, yellow, and purple.

"Soul King?"

Dai Tianxing suddenly stood up, his gaze darting back and forth between the Gengjin White Tiger and the five Soul Ring behind Dai Mubai. He felt an even more domineering killing intent than his own Evil-Eyed White Tiger rushing towards him.

He could clearly sense that Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul completely suppressed his Evil-Eyed White Tiger in terms of quality.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Dai Tianxing would never have believed that there was actually a tiger Martial Soul in this world that could suppress the White Tiger Martial Soul the Dai Family had always inherited in terms of bloodline!

Zhu Wanting was standing nearby, had a similar feeling. It was obvious that Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul completely suppressed her Hell Spirit Cat.

Dai Mubai continued, "This is the Gengjin White Tiger, which is even more powerful than the original Evil-Eyed White Tiger. Moreover, my Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Qing is also more compatible than before, and it is basically close to perfection."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Dai Tianxing said "Good" three times in succession.

Although the Evil-Eyed White Tiger of the Star Luo Royal Family is also a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, it is still slightly weaker than the universally acknowledged number one Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Nothing is more exciting than witnessing the Martial Soul Evolution.

Dai Tianxing a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and sat back down behind his desk.

After a moment, Dai Tianxing solemnly said, "Very well. Mubai, with your current talent and strength, you are fully capable of shouldering the position of Crown Prince. Tomorrow, a court assembly will be held to formally appoint you as Crown Prince. I want you to pass on this Martial Soul to future generations."

Everyone present was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, but Dai Mubai fell into deep thought.

Dai Mubai understood that the struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire, and the overall atmosphere of the empire, had always been determined by strength.

If he were to be made Crown Prince now, it would inevitably attract much discussion in the court and the royal family, and cause a great deal of trouble.

Besides, I have nothing to worry about in defeating Dai Weisi. If I can defeat him head-on, that would be truly legitimate and would save me a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Dai Mubai didn't want to show his face too early. He wanted to use the Soul Master Tournament to win the championship for the Star Luo Empire, dampen the Spirit Hall's arrogance, and see if he could profit from it. Defeating Dai Weisi was just a matter of course.

If we expose ourselves too early and attract the attention of the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, they might not take out the three Soul Bone.

Stay calm, don't rush!

With this thought in mind, Dai Mubai said, "Father, I still hope to win against my elder brother through fair competition."

"In a year and a half, the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academy will be held. Your Majesty, I request that you issue a decree allowing me to lead the Star Luo Royal Academy Second Team and assemble my own squad to participate in the Soul Master Tournament. Whoever leads the team that goes further and performs better between my elder brother and me will be the Crown Prince. This will also silence any dissent!"

"Mubai, I didn't expect you to become so composed!" Dai Tianxing's eyes showed a hint of appreciation upon hearing this. "Very well, since you are so confident in yourself, then I will grant your request. Tomorrow I will issue an edict appointing you to lead the Second Team, to compete fairly with the leader. Whoever performs better will be the Crown Prince."

Dai Mubai bowed respectfully, his tone firm. "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

Dai Tianxing nodded in satisfaction, his expression softening slightly. "Alright, take the seniors to settle in first. Come over alone tonight and have a casual meal with your mother. She's been talking about you for three years."

Dai Mubai understood that Dai Tianxing must have something he couldn't ask in public, so he bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave."

The group left the Imperial Study.

Back in his palace, Dai Mubai summoned everyone to the front hall.

He first handed the imperial edict to Niu Gao, instructing him, "Senior Niu, tomorrow you should take this edict to the national treasury to collect the funds, and then go to the east of the city to measure the land boundaries. As for the construction of the mansion, you are the expert, so you will be in full charge of it. I hope you will build it into our future headquarters."

Niu Gao accepted the imperial edict, patted his chest, and said, "Your Highness, rest assured! When it comes to building houses, I, Old Rhino, am a professional!"

Dai Mubai then turned to Yang Wudi and Bai He: "Senior Yang, Senior Bai, you two can assist Senior Niu. Also, you can gradually bring your clansmen to Star Luo City."

The two nodded in agreement.

Then, Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yang Pojun, and the others, and smiled, "As for you, you'll be coming with me to the Star Luo Royal Academy in a few days to register. From now on, we'll be training there to prepare for the Soul Master Tournament a year and a half from now."

Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists, looking eager to try.

Finally, Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji: "Teacher Zhao, would you please temporarily take over as our team leader?"

He then painted a rosy picture. "After I finish participating in the Soul Master Tournament, I will start building my personal guard, Teacher Zhao will be my personal guard instructor! How about that?"

Zhao Wuji laughed and said, "Okay! No problem!"

As evening fell, Dai Mubai arrived at the Imperial Study alone.

The dinner was very lavish, with a table full of exquisite dishes.

The three sat around the door; there were no outsiders present, not even the waiters.

Dai Tianxing's gaze fell on Dai Mubai, his tone much gentler than during the day. "Mubai, there were too many people around today, so I couldn't say much. Now that we're just family, I'll speak frankly with you."

He paused, then continued, "I greatly admire your decision during the day. In the past, the struggle for the throne in our Star Luo Empire has always been based on strength. Only by defeating your opponent fairly and squarely can you win the hearts and minds of the court and reduce obstacles for your future takeover of the government."

"After all, you've been away from the Star Luo Empire for over three years. The court officials know little about you, and you don't yet have enough prestige in the empire. If I were to rashly appoint you, it would only invite much criticism, which would be detrimental to you. The Soul Master Tournament is the best stage for you to prove yourself to everyone. In this respect, you've done exceptionally well!"

Dai Mubai nodded slightly, his expression calm. "Your subject understands, and will certainly not fail your expectations."

Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Dai Tianxing's eyes flashed with satisfaction. "Hmm, you're much more composed than before. These three years of training have certainly not been in vain."

Zhu Wanting was standing nearby, placed a piece of food in Dai Mubai's bowl and said gently, "Mubai, eat more. You've lost weight."

Dai Mubai replied, "Thank you, Mother."

Dai Tianxing's tone shifted, becoming more serious. "You are still young, and the most important thing is to work hard to improve your strength. Make any requests you may have, and I will arrange them in advance as long as they are within my power. This continent is becoming increasingly turbulent; the Spirit Hall is no longer content with dominating the Soul Master World. We, the Star Luo Empire, must improve our strength as soon as possible."

Dai Mubai put down his chopsticks and said solemnly, "Father is wise. Your subject also believes that we should be more vigilant against the Spirit Hall. Especially those duchies near Spirit City, which have probably been infiltrated by the Spirit Hall for many years. At the same time, we must quickly improve our high-level combat power. If we do not prepare early, our Star Luo Empire will be extremely passive once the Spirit Hall launches an attack."

"You're right, this is also what I've worried about most for many years," Dai Tianxing said slowly. "But how easy is it to do this? There are too many people around during the day, and it's not convenient for me to ask in detail. How exactly did your and Zhu Qing's Martial Soul Evolution happen? Is there any way to help the royal family improve its combat power?"
