At the Great Soul Arena, competitors had to register using their real information.
For public appearances, however, they could use their martial souls as their personal titles.
Once they made a name for themselves, people would give them nicknames.
Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu were both still rookies, so people called them by their martial soul names.
"Brother Xue, we still have something important to attend to. We must take our leave."
Tang Yin brought his sister forward and clasped his hands in farewell.
Although he and Little San Niang had long since worked together to eliminate every trace of Xiao Wu's soul beast aura,
until she reached maturity, her underlying soul beast nature would continue producing that aura, requiring them to cleanse it once a month.
Furthermore, if she unleashed her full strength, she still risked being discovered.
There were two Titled Douluos here right now, after all.
This was a risk that could cost her life. They could not afford the slightest carelessness.
Tang Yin knew that perfectly well.
After all his years of tireless teaching and guidance, Xiao Wu was nothing like the spoiled, willful troublemaker from the original story.
She was normally so well-behaved, sweet, clingy, and fond of acting cute. How could she possibly go looking for trouble?
Then there was the impression he had of that fellow Dai Mubai.
Heh...
These people from Shrek really were maggots in a cesspit, each more disgusting than the last.
The inherently evil Shrek Academy had already given him cause to kill them!
Xue Qinghe understood the reason for Tang Yin's hurried departure as clearly as a polished mirror.
He said understandingly, "Brother Tang Yin, go ahead. If you run into any trouble, feel free to come to me."
Winning people over had practically become instinctive for him.
Tang Yin and Tang San Niang put on their masks and hurried to the Soul Fighting Arena, where they found Huo Wu to learn what had happened.
On the fighting platform, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai's match had already begun.
Their soul rings lit up, bathing the entire platform in dazzling colors.
Three soul rings revolved around Xiao Wu.
Yellow, purple, purple!
Like Dai Mubai, she had reached a soul power level of thirty-seven, making her a Soul Elder!
Moreover, her second soul ring was already a thousand-year ring, putting her only a fraction behind the Blue Silver Twin Stars.
The sight was striking.
An uproar rose from the spectators below.
Dai Mubai narrowed his uncanny eyes.
The soul power aura Xiao Wu was giving off was actually considerably stronger than his.
"Little girl, is this what gives you confidence?"
"Too bad your martial soul is only a Soft Bone Rabbit."
Dai Mubai licked his lips with a sinister air, his gaze mocking.
"Tigers eat rabbits. That's a law of nature."
"You just happen to be on this big brother's menu."
Dai Mubai flashed a lecherous smile.
Half of that smile concealed lust, while the other half was intended to provoke his opponent.
"Disgusting. You think you deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as my brother?"
Xiao Wu's pretty face turned frosty.
First of all, this little rabbit had followed her brother's instructions and had not provoked anyone.
This fellow was the one who had come over to boast in front of her.
Neither she nor Sister Huo Wu had paid him any attention.
After all, her brother was more than a thousand times better-looking, and he utterly crushed him in both strength and bearing.
Xiao Wu was accustomed to fine fare. How could trash like this deserve a second glance from her?
Yet this stinking tiger had stood there smugly showing off his knowledge, even sneering at the Blue Silver Twin Stars.
Absolutely unforgivable!
If her brother was the bright moon in the heavens, this fellow was a crazed toad crouching at the bottom of a well. What right did he have to judge the moon's radiance?
She had not fought many matches at the Great Soul Arena.
She had only fought three, but she had won every one.
She feared no one.
Xiao Wu pulled an iron whip from her storage wristband.
Her brother had taught her that when fighting someone, she should never use her bare hands if she could use a weapon.
An inch longer meant an inch stronger; an inch shorter meant an inch more perilous.
As a blacksmith's younger sister, she had all sorts of handy weapons in her Storage Soul Tool.
All of them were forged from refined iron, with quality that could withstand any test.
She shook the iron whip, making it crack sharply.
Xiao Wu's pretty face tightened, murderous intent rolling off her as fire blazed in her eyes.
If he had such a foul mouth, she would whip it to pieces!
Below the platform,
Ma Hongjun looked excited.
"Who'd have thought this girl would have such a fiery temper when she looks so sweet and innocent?"
"Boss Dai, shred her clothes with your claws! Give your brother a feast for the eyes!"
Zhao Wuji's voice rang like a great bell, brimming with confidence.
"Even beast martial souls have their hierarchy. A mere Soft Bone Rabbit dares challenge the Evil-Eyed White Tiger? She really doesn't know her own limits."
"The White Tiger will win this battle!"
Flender pushed up his black-framed glasses and smiled. "Naturally. Our Little Monster won't lose to such a feeble beast martial soul."
Inside the VIP Room,
Xue Qinghe watched with burning eyes, looking somewhat excited.
"The Blue Silver Twin Stars' sworn younger sister? I haven't seen her fight before. I hope she brings me a few surprises."
Dai Mubai's claws were exceptionally sharp, long as sword blades and gleaming with a chilling light.
Once he entered battle, not a trace of lust remained in his eyes.
That was the greatest difference between him and Ma Hongjun.
Born in the Star Luo Empire and burdened from childhood by the pressure of its brutal elimination contests, he would never show mercy in battle.
In an instant,
his claws slashed in a dense flurry, tearing through the air with piercing shrieks.
Xiao Wu's slender fingers tightened around the iron whip.
Beneath the claw shadows filling the air,
whip shadows danced.
Black serpent shadows darted out in an instant, shattering the countless claw shadows.
The pitch-black venomous snakes bit viciously toward Dai Mubai.
They carried a sinister chill that pierced to the bone.
Their mournful hissing shook the air.
The sound made everyone's hair stand on end.
Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically. He dared not be careless.
First soul skill-White Tiger Protection Barrier!
A barrier of light rose instantly, shielding his entire body.
Bang!
The barrier shook but did not break.
A hurricane of whip shadows followed close behind.
Bang, bang, bang!
Explosive cracks rang out one after another.
Fractures appeared across the barrier, multiplying rapidly.
With a sharp crack, it dissolved into specks of stardust.
The next instant, the whip shadows fell.
Dai Mubai's eyes widened almost to bursting, and he roared.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
With his beast martial soul possessing him, his already powerful body swelled further. His upper clothing burst apart, his crimson eyes turned blood-red, and golden light enveloped him. The "king" marking on his forehead shone brilliantly.
Thud, thud, thud-!
A series of dull impacts sounded as the whip shadows lashed Dai Mubai without pause.
Every strike sent strings of blood droplets flying.
Each left a savage, bloody welt.
"Aaargh!!!"
Dai Mubai roared.
He covered his head with both hands and hunched over, his muscles bunching. Seizing an opening, he suddenly erupted into motion, pushing off with his thick legs and launching himself into the air.
"Die!"
"White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
Dai Mubai's eyes bulged with fury as a ball of milky-white light the size of a basketball shot from his mouth.
Accompanied by a tiger's roar, the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, compressed and unleashed through the force of his abdomen and chest, hurtled straight at Xiao Wu's face with jaw-dropping speed.
Facing this attack, Xiao Wu stood utterly still, as though she had been scared senseless.
A cruel smile curled Dai Mubai's lips.
Just as some spectators could not help closing their eyes, unable to bear watching,
a playful smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
Her soul ring lit up.
Third soul skill-Instantaneous Movement!
In an instant, she vanished.
Dai Mubai was dumbfounded.
He had been suppressed throughout the entire fight and had finally found an opening to counterattack.
But where had she gone???
"Please, you're really weak!" Xiao Wu's voice came from above his head.
The next second, pain struck Dai Mubai's back, and he plummeted out of the air.
"Brilliant! I want this one too!"
Xue Qinghe clapped his hands and cheered.
Pufferfish and Snake Lance exchanged a glance, communicating with their eyes.
Why did the Young Master sound as though he was choosing consorts?
