Dai Mubai showed off

"Hiss, that hurts."

Soon, a surge of excruciating pain in his hand snapped Dai Mubai out of his fantasies, and he could not help sucking in a sharp breath.

Xu Ran was gripping Dai Mubai's hand. Under that crushing force, Dai Mubai's face trembled with pain. After gaining the Qilin Bloodline, Xu Ran's human form was nowhere near as monstrous as his beast form, but the bloodline's enhancement had still made his physique far more formidable.

It could be said that, in terms of physique alone, Xu Ran's physical strength approached that of a Soul Emperor.

Ding! Congratulations, host, on triggering a mission: teach Dai Mubai a lesson. A reward of 100 to 200 Skill Points will be calculated based on the extent of the psychological shadow you cast over Dai Mubai.

Hearing the system's voice, Xu Ran could not help smiling. He had already been planning to teach Dai Mubai a lesson, so this came at just the right time.

"Inborn superhuman strength? You actually have inborn superhuman strength? Let go of me already!" Dai Mubai's scalp tingled with pain. He tried to wrench his hand free, but Xu Ran's strength exceeded anything he had imagined. With Xu Ran gripping his hand, he could not pull it out at all. Was the boy before him that strong?

That was impossible. This person looked even younger than him. How could he be stronger? He was an unparalleled genius with the White Tiger Martial Soul, the most gifted disciple of the Dai Family. Even Dai Weisi's talent fell short of his. Even after coming to Shrek Academy, an academy that only accepted monsters, he was still the strongest.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were both far inferior to him. One was a food-type Soul Master whose Martial Soul had no offensive power. Although he had Innate Full Soul Power, what difference was there between a man with no combat ability and a useless piece of trash? As for Ma Hongjun, not only was his talent a notch below his own, he also needed to do that sort of thing to purge his Evil Fire. Once his vital essence ran out, he would be done for.

How could they compare to him, Dai Mubai? If they were geniuses and monsters, then he was a monster among monsters. Moreover, he was not merely gifted; his status was noble as well. How could an ordinary person compare to an imperial prince?

Still, strong as he was, he did not consider himself invincible. There were quite a few people his age in this world who could match him.

But the person before him clearly was not one of them. With neither of them releasing their Martial Soul, his strength surpassed Dai Mubai's by who knew how many times. Someone like this had to possess inborn superhuman strength, nothing more.

"Why haven't you let go yet?" Dai Mubai's muscles twitched with pain. If the person before him still refused to know what was good for him, he would release his Martial Soul and teach him a lesson. So what if he had inborn superhuman strength? This world was not ruled by country bumpkins. Once he released his Martial Soul, the boy could only back down.

"All right." Xu Ran let go just as Dai Mubai was pulling hard, and Dai Mubai instantly toppled backward, landing in a humiliating sprawl.

"Pfft." At the sight, Xiao Wu burst out laughing, a trace of disdain in her eyes as she looked at Dai Mubai. He wanted to imitate others and pick up girls, but with so little strength, he could only make a spectacle of himself.

"You dare toy with me?" Dai Mubai climbed up from the ground, brushed the dust off himself, and glared at Xu Ran in anger. Fury blazed in his heart. In all the years since he had come to Shrek Academy, he had never suffered a loss like this.

Here, thanks to his outstanding talent, he could summon the wind and rain even at Shrek Academy. In Suotuo City, quite a few exceptional beauties had given themselves to him as well.

As the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, when had he ever been toyed with like this?

He could tell that Xu Ran had deliberately let go at that precise moment, just to watch him make a fool of himself.

"Toy with you? So what? Is my woman someone you can touch?" Xu Ran said coldly, looking at Dai Mubai indifferently. Dai Mubai truly was shameless. He had tried to flirt with Xiao Wu the moment he arrived. Had he not seen Xu Ran standing right there? He could not even hold on to his own fiancée, yet he wanted to steal Xiao Wu from Xu Ran's side? What a joke.

At Xu Ran's words, Xiao Wu's pretty face flushed slightly, but she could not help feeling a little happy inside. So in Brother Xu Ran's heart, I'm his woman? But he already has a fiancée.

Does he want both of us? He's so bad.

Xiao Wu pouted and looked at Xu Ran. Whenever she thought about how he already had a fiancée, she could not help feeling a little angry. He already had a fiancée, yet he still called her his woman, and he was so lecherous too.

But she never voiced those words. In the Soul Beast Realm, it was perfectly normal for males to have three wives and four concubines. In truth, she was only a little jealous.

"Your woman? Hmph. So what? Since ancient times, beauties have belonged with heroes. How could a weakling deserve a beauty?" Dai Mubai said. He had now decided that Xu Ran merely possessed inborn superhuman strength and was not particularly strong himself, and his words immediately turned disdainful.

No matter how much brute strength a person possessed, it was of little use.

"Oh?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at Dai Mubai in surprise. He had never seen anyone so thick-skinned. He had only just suffered at Xu Ran's hands, yet he already dared to act this arrogantly.

Inborn superhuman strength, indeed. Surely he doesn't think he's the only genius in this world.

If he's really a genius, why run? Just take Dai Weisi head-on.

What a clown.

Xu Ran had already won over Dai Mubai's fiancée. What the hell did Dai Mubai amount to? It was just that he was not yet ready to tell Dai Mubai about his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing. When he and Zhu Zhuqing came to Shrek Academy together, he would flaunt it right in his face.

"Hmph, a newborn calf has no fear of the tiger." Seeing the contempt in Xu Ran's eyes, Dai Mubai immediately flew into a rage. He glared furiously at Xu Ran and released his Martial Soul.

"White Tiger, possess!" Dai Mubai roared. A brilliant pale-white light abruptly erupted from his body. He spread his arms and thrust out his chest as every bone in his body crackled loudly. His muscles suddenly swelled as well, stretching his robes taut.

Three Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, two yellow and one purple. As the Soul Rings revolved, his strength as a rank-thirty-seven Soul Elder was laid bare.

"Dai Mubai, what are you doing? They're here to join Shrek Academy." Seeing things turn out this way, Ma Hongjun could not help speaking up. Dai Mubai was extremely strong-a rank-thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder whose Martial Soul was the White Tiger, a Martial Soul with formidable combat power. It would be bad if something happened.

"Hmph, here to apply to Shrek Academy? Plenty of people come to our academy every year. How many of them successfully pass? Today, I'll test their strength on the teachers' behalf first. If they aren't strong enough, they should just go back."

"And even if they get lucky and join Shrek Academy, they'll still have to follow the rules. When they see a senior, they must show some respect." A hint of darkness flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes. Having lost face before Xu Ran, he naturally had to reclaim it. Otherwise, people would think he, Dai Mubai, was easy to bully.

How could he, Dai Mubai, possibly be easy to bully?

"Well..." Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai, then at Xu Ran and Xiao Wu. Without saying anything more, he ran into the academy alone. Although he was lecherous, he had not reached that extent. If the teachers learned that he and Dai Mubai had blocked prospective students outside and attacked them, and for that sort of reason at that, they would flay a layer of skin off him.
