Why 1999? Because 6 flipped over!
Looking at so many Reward Points, Zhang Tianyu felt that even his every gesture now carried the swagger of a nouveau riche.
But this wasn't the time to browse the Mall and go on a shopping spree. The five-year term had passed, and he could finally change maps!
Although he had fun with Xiao Wu every day at Nuoding Academy, it had become a little monotonous and boring in the end. Just as Zhang Tianyu had said before, everyone got aesthetic fatigue!
Now he could finally meet the other two little beauties!
Ning Rongrong, here I come!
Zhu Zhuqing, here I come!
Suotuo City.
That morning, beneath the bright sunshine, three young people—one girl and two boys—appeared on the streets of Suotuo City.
The girl was pretty and cute, one of the boys was handsome and dashing, while the other boy... looked quite ordinary.
"Obviously, so many intermediate academies invited us. What was Master thinking? Why did he insist on having A San come to some academy we've never even heard of? And Tianyu, why did you want to come too?"
Nonsense. Of course I wanted to go to Skywater Academy more, but I couldn't!
After all, the operation hadn't been that successful!
"You can have another operation," the system said.
"Since we're already here, let's take a look first," Zhang Tianyu said.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the famous Rose Hotel.
Dai Mubai should be making his entrance next, right?
"Yes, he is also one of the mission targets."
Then what are we waiting for? Please welcome our next male victim contestant!
Three Bowls Before Crossing the Ridge
"Uh, sorry, but we only have one suite left," the receptionist said.
Looking at the pretty and adorable Xiao Wu, the receptionist wore a stunned expression.
Then, looking at the strikingly handsome Zhang Tianyu, his face fell again.
How could there be such a ridiculously handsome guy? This was way too discouraging!
Then he saw Tang San standing to the side, and his spirits immediately lifted as he regained his confidence.
It wasn't that Tang San was particularly ugly. At the very least, he wasn't better-looking than me, the receptionist thought.
Hearing that there was only one room left, Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu turned their heads in perfect sync and looked at Tang San.
Tang San: ...
"Fine, then I'll find somewhere else to stay for the night."
"Mm, see you tomorrow morning," Zhang Tianyu said.
Xiao Wu said nothing.
Before Tang San could even walk out the front door, a tall blond man walked past him into the hotel lobby with two beauties in his arms.
"I believe that last room should belong to me."
Tang San frowned slightly, stopped, and turned to look back.
His instincts told him that this tall blond man was very strong!
Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu turned around as well. Zhang Tianyu's face remained expressionless, but inwardly, he laughed.
Handsome, tall, born with double pupils, with a head of blond hair—and most importantly, he had a pair of twin sisters in his arms. No mistake, this was Dai Mubai himself.
The receptionist froze. "May I ask who you are?"
Dai Mubai frowned and asked impatiently, "You're new here, aren't you? Cut the nonsense and call your manager out!"
Zhang Tianyu said expressionlessly, "You're the one who should cut the nonsense. We already booked this room. Go find somewhere else to stay."
Dai Mubai turned to look at Zhang Tianyu, a wicked smirk flashing across his face. "Well, well, kid. You're pretty arrogant, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he noticed Xiao Wu. A strange look immediately crossed his face, though it quickly returned to normal.
The twin sisters, on the other hand, blushed at the sight of Zhang Tianyu, their eyes soft with infatuation.
What a handsome little guy!
Even more handsome than Dai Mubai!
"There are rules in life and in business. Don't you understand first come, first served?" Zhang Tianyu raised a hand and pointed toward the door. "Take care. No need to see you out."
Dai Mubai sneered. "Good. Very good. It's been a long time since anyone dared speak to me like that..."
Xiao Wu snorted coldly. "Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Didn't you hear us tell you to get lost?"
Dai Mubai was angry.
A cold, murderous aura rose from his body. "You two have Soul Power fluctuations too. You should be Soul Masters, right? Then come at me together. If you can beat me, I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, please demonstrate the meaning of the word 'roll' for me!"
Tang San strode over and stood beside Zhang Tianyu and Xiao Wu.
Dai Mubai was slightly taken aback.
"Since you're so formidable, can the three of us take you on together?" Zhang Tianyu asked with a raised brow.
Dai Mubai's face twitched.
Th... this guy had no shame!
Letting the two of you fight me together was already giving you face, and now you wanted three against one? Did you have no shame at all?
The twins also reevaluated Zhang Tianyu. They realized that being handsome seemed to be his only virtue.
What a cowardly, effeminate wimp.
But then Zhang Tianyu's lips curled up. "Looks like you don't dare let the three of us come at you together."
"You..." Dai Mubai had barely uttered one word before Zhang Tianyu cut him off.
"I'm just kidding. I alone am enough to deal with you."
"Is that so?" Dai Mubai's aura grew increasingly terrifying.
At that moment, Manager Wang finally rushed out in a panic. "Young Master Dai! Please don't act rashly! My apologies, two guests! That room was reserved by Young Master Dai. Please choose another establishment!"
"I won't! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Xiao Wu planted her hands on her slim waist. "You look down on people because you think we're young and easy to bully?"
Dai Mubai said coldly, "This is no longer about whether or not to give up that room. You dared to insult me—you won't be leaving so easily!"
"Hmph, you think you can leave without giving me a beating?" the system said, imitating Dai Mubai's tone.
"Hahaha." Zhang Tianyu laughed.
"You're laughing? I'll make you cry in a moment!" Dai Mubai snapped. "Manager Wang, stop wasting your breath. I'll cover all the damages later!"
Zhang Tianyu's eyes lit up. "If I lose, I'll roll out of here. No problem. But what if you lose?"
Dai Mubai sneered. "Me, lose? Fine, whatever. Name it!"
"Fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins, or you roll out of here too," Zhang Tianyu said with a smile. "Money or dignity—pick one."
"I'm not short on money. If you can beat me, I'll give you a hundred thousand!" Dai Mubai laughed angrily.
You're just a little brat around twelve years old. How strong could you possibly be? I'd lose? What a joke!
"Ooh, ooh, ooh, how lavish!" Zhang Tianyu chuckled. "Then let's begin."
Boom!
Three Soul Rings emerged from his body.
The angry smile on Dai Mubai's face vanished instantly!
He was completely dumbfounded!
Three Soul Rings?
And the optimal configuration at that—hundred-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year?
Fuck!
A Soul Master above level thirty?!
Such a young Soul Master?!
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Dai Mubai began to panic inwardly. Damn, he never expected him to be a Soul Master!
He wasn't afraid of losing a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. As a prince of a nation, money was just a number to him. What he cared about was losing face if he lost!
The twins and so many onlookers were watching! How humiliating would it be if he lost?
"You're not scared, are you?" Zhang Tianyu asked.
"Scared? Me, scared of you? Come on!"
Boom!
Dai Mubai completed his Martial Soul Possession. His muscles swelled rapidly, his body grew larger, his aura intensified, and sharp claws grew from both hands.
Three Soul Rings emerged from his body as well, also the optimal two yellow and one purple configuration.
"Notice: Mission received [Three Bowls Before Crossing the Ridge]. Mission objective: Defeat White Tiger · Dai Mubai. Mission reward: Reward Points +5, Soul Power increased by 2 levels. Failure penalty: Zhu Zhuqing's quest line will be closed."
Zhang Tianyu: ...
What the hell was [Three Bowls Before Crossing the Ridge]? Was he Wu Song fighting a tiger or something?
"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, level thirty-seven Battle Soul Master. Please advise!"
Zhang Tianyu spread his hands, and Huangquan silently appeared before his chest. "Zhang Tianyu, Martial Soul: Huangquan, level thirty-six Battle Soul Master."
Level thirty-six! Dai Mubai's eyes widened. He was a genius!
The twins, hiding nearby to watch, also brightened.
Wow, after summoning his Martial Soul, this handsome little guy became even more handsome! Oh my god! So handsome!
With a tiger's roar, Dai Mubai chose to directly unleash his Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, enhancing his combat power.
Zhang Tianyu unleashed his Second Soul Skill. A sonic boom howled past, and all anyone saw was a flash of black light before Dai Mubai froze in place.
"Among all soul skills, nothing is unbreakable—only speed is unbeatable," Zhang Tianyu said slowly. "You lost."
Dai Mubai looked utterly baffled and shocked. Slowly lowering his head, he saw Huangquan resting against his neck. In that instant, it was as though he had been struck by lightning!
It wasn't that he had never considered losing; he had even prepared himself for it.
But he had never imagined he would lose so completely. Damn it!
Ning Rongrong in the City Was Really Fair-Skinned
Like the satisfaction after a burst of passion, Dai Mubai's body rapidly shrank and wilted.
He released his Martial Soul Possession.
Which was also an admission of defeat.
With a wave of Zhang Tianyu's hand, Huangquan floated back behind him, hovering silently. It gave off neither a sound nor the slightest aura, like an inconspicuous little nobody with no sense of presence.
"Not bad," Dai Mubai said slowly as he looked at Zhang Tianyu. "Very not bad. To possess this level of strength at your age is truly impressive—astonishing, even!"
"Oh, stop flattering me. Where's the money?"
Dai Mubai: ...
Well then, the moment those words came out, the aura of a young prodigy vanished on the spot.
Zhang Tianyu didn't care about any of that. The bearing of a young prodigy? Some transcendent, otherworldly temperament? Could that bearing feed him, or could that aura feed him?
Nothing was more practical than money, right?
Dai Mubai's mouth twitched. He took a silver card from his robes. "There are roughly eighty thousand Gold Soul Coins in here. Take it first. I'll have someone deliver the remaining twenty thousand to you later."
"Great." Zhang Tianyu accepted the silver card without ceremony. "If you ever want to spar again, remember to contact me."
