Dai Mubai's True Colors-The Fight Begins!

The two of them waited beneath the tree for nearly half an hour before the Shrek students finally showed up.

"Rongrong, you're here so early?"

When Xiao Wu and the others reached the Playground, they were surprised to see Ning Rongrong and Lin Xiao.

There were still five minutes until the agreed time.

But judging by Ning Rongrong's expression, she seemed to have been waiting for a while.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with a light laugh. "I got a little excited thinking about training, so I came almost half an hour early."

"That early?"

Xiao Wu was stunned.

Even Tang San took his training seriously.

But he wasn't that eager.

And Ning Rongrong got excited just thinking about training?

No. Something was definitely off!

Xiao Wu glanced at Lin Xiao beside her, then remembered what Ning Rongrong had said last night. It seemed she understood.

It had to be because of Lin Xiao!

Ning Rongrong had probably gotten up early to find Lin Xiao, and then the two of them had come to the Playground together.

Tsk.

Ning Rongrong was one bold girl.

"Looks like we'll have to come earlier from now on. We can't let you outdo us."

Xiao Wu spoke with a grin.

She didn't particularly like training, but she had a competitive streak.

She thought it was only natural for Tang San to train hard.

But another girl working harder than her? That wouldn't do.

"Morning."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lin Xiao and gave a slight nod.

"Zhuqing..."

Dai Mubai and the others came over as well.

He had just opened his mouth when Zhu Zhuqing turned away, ignoring him completely.

Dai Mubai was left hanging and nearly burst into curses.

What woman around Suotuo City dared give him the cold shoulder?

Zhu Zhuqing had some nerve!

But he held himself back.

Zhu Zhuqing was beautiful, and her figure was exceptional.

More importantly, Zhu Zhuqing was tied to his future.

If he could build a good relationship with her and they developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he might still stand a chance against Dai Weisi.

But if Zhu Zhuqing refused to help him,

he had no hope of defeating his elder brother.

He might even be killed.

With that in mind, he suppressed his anger, snorted, and turned away.

As he turned, though, he shot Lin Xiao a glance.

That look left Lin Xiao feeling helpless.

He had barely won any favor with Zhu Zhuqing, yet Dai Mubai already had it in for him.

Probably because Zhu Zhuqing had greeted Lin Xiao but not him, leaving him jealous.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a look.

"Tsk. Boss Dai really has his eye on Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Isn't it obvious? But Boss Dai's acting differently this time. He hasn't tried any tricks?"

"Heh, it's only just started. There's plenty of time. Besides, Boss Dai said women count as resources, not people."

At those words, Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened.

"Disgusting!"

"Pah! What a lowlife!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.

Women counted as resources, not people?

That was an insult to women, and a grave one at that.

"Fatty, got too much to say?"

Dai Mubai's face turned grim.

He still hadn't figured out how to attract Zhu Zhuqing.

And now, thanks to Ma Hongjun's remark, her impression of him would only get worse.

What a pig of a teammate!

Next time they went to Suotuo City for some fun, he wouldn't pick up that damned fatty's tab!

Ma Hongjun seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and shrank back.

Only then did Dai Mubai snort. When he tried to explain himself to Zhu Zhuqing, she had already moved several steps away.

"And you think you can pursue Zhuqing like that? You don't respect women. Who could like you?"

Ning Rongrong was furious now.

Dai Mubai might not have said it himself, but that attitude was outright contempt for women—an insult to them.

The thought of being classmates with someone like him was sickening.

Dai Mubai's face turned black as ink. "What the hell does it have to do with you?"

"Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you just because you're the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"If I wanted you dead, you'd die. No question!"

At those words, Lin Xiao stepped directly in front of Ning Rongrong.

"Then try it."

"Let's see which of us dies first."

No one had expected Lin Xiao to step forward.

Even Ning Rongrong froze.

She never imagined he would stand up for her at a moment like this.

Dai Mubai frowned, and three Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet.

Two yellow and one purple—they did look somewhat intimidating.

"Kid, are you looking to die?"

Dai Mubai was already furious.

Seeing someone step forward only made him angrier.

The other party was just a student who had joined the academy, and Dai Mubai couldn't care less.

Without another word, Lin Xiao summoned the Immortal Execution Sword.

"You talk big. I hope you have the strength to back it up."

Those words came from Lin Xiao.

Even Tang San was stunned to hear a newcomer to the academy say such a thing.

He had fought Dai Mubai before and knew how troublesome he was.

A Soul Elder of the Power Attack System was terrifyingly strong.

How long had it been since Lin Xiao awakened his martial soul? Even if he had obtained his First Soul Ring, he had no business being this arrogant.

Still, Tang San felt a flicker of anticipation.

If Lin Xiao fought Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai might give him a brutal beating.

This was nothing like yesterday's entrance exam.

Zhao Wuji had held back because they were students. He hadn't struck to kill.

Dai Mubai, on the other hand, was young and hot-blooded. Once a fight started, he would surely go all out.

Lin Ye was only level twenty-five. Against Dai Mubai, he had no chance of surviving.

Fight. Come on, fight!

Tang San clenched his fists in excitement.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked uncomfortable.

They were all going to be classmates. What were they supposed to do if a real fight broke out?

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing had no such hesitation.

They went straight to Lin Xiao's side.

Zhu Zhuqing's action provoked Dai Mubai.

He was already brooding over the fact that she had greeted Lin Xiao.

Now the two of them were standing together. How could he let that pass?

"Fine. Very fine!"

"Kid, if you've got the guts, fight me. I'll teach you not to insult a senior student!"

With that, he stepped back, his Soul Power surging wildly.

Lin Xiao smiled.

It seemed he could complete the task the system had issued yesterday right now.

If he ended the fight quickly and took Dai Mubai down in one move, his task rating would surely be high.

Then his Second Soul Ring would have an even higher age limit!

"As you wish."

"Rongrong, all of you, step back."

But Ning Rongrong did not move.

Lin Xiao was only level twenty-five. Against a Soul Elder, he didn't seem to stand much chance.

"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Lin Xiao patted her shoulder.

He truly wasn't worried about dealing with Dai Mubai.

Even with a gap of more than ten levels,

he had a cheat on his side. Fighting above his level should be a walk in the park, shouldn't it?

If he couldn't even manage that, he would be a disgrace to transmigrators everywhere.

Lin Xiao's words provoked Dai Mubai yet again.

"Fine, fine, fine! If you're looking to die, I'll oblige you!"

"Die!"

"Martial Soul Possession! White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Enraged, Dai Mubai decisively struck first.

A furious blow—a beam of dazzling light—shot straight toward Lin Xiao.

Facing Dai Mubai's attack, Lin Xiao's gaze sharpened.

"First Soul Skill: Immortal Execution Mountain-Cleaving!"
