(A beautiful picture of Zhu Zhuqing)
Just then, a waiter happened to bring out the first dish for their table.
The young man from Canghui Academy suddenly quickened his pace and crashed straight into the waiter, who cried out in alarm.
The dish tipped toward Dai Mubai's head.
Tang San started to get up and catch it, thinking, Watch me show off with Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!
But he had run around all day and carried Oscar, making his hemorrhoids worse. Halfway to his feet, the pain sent him sitting back down.
Tang San's movement made Dai Mubai think he would catch it, so Dai Mubai sat calmly in his seat without moving.
And then-
Splat!
The whole dish landed squarely on Dai Mubai's head!
His golden hair was plastered with vegetables and soup, leaving him a sorry sight.
The people from Canghui Academy couldn't hold back and all burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
"I'm dying!"
Even the normally aloof Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help laughing at the sight.
Xiao Jue, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu laughed along with her.
Rage burned in Dai Mubai's chest. He slammed the table and shot to his feet.
"Damn it, you're looking for trouble, huh?!"
Dai Mubai sneered inwardly. Looks like I'll have to show you what I can do! I haven't used the system since I got it!
Dai Mubai roared inwardly, System! Activate the function!
[Ding! War God System function activated! Randomly generating battle effect!] [Random effect: 100% Barehanded Blade Catch!] [Beginning consumption of War God Points!]
Dai Mubai froze. What kind of effect is that? Why is it so convoluted?
Forget it. These are War God Points I worked hard to earn from missions, after all!
But spending one War God Point per second is way too much! I'd better finish them off quickly!
With an angry shout, Dai Mubai sent a punch at the young man who had knocked over the dish.
The young man felt his body move beyond his control. His legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees in front of Dai Mubai with a thud, raising both hands to catch Dai Mubai's fist squarely.
The pose looked just like a marriage proposal.
Dai Mubai was overjoyed. My system is awesome! It really lives up to the name War God System!
Seeing this, the other Canghui Academy students immediately rushed forward to help their fellow student.
"Let him go!"
"You're courting death!"
Six young men charged at him together.
Dai Mubai sneered and threw punch after punch.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
All seven fell to their knees before Dai Mubai!
There they were, lined up neatly, looking just like a row of people proposing marriage.
The middle-aged man from Canghui Academy could sit still no longer. He sprang to his feet, his face ashen.
"What kind of insidious Soul Skill is this?!"
The middle-aged man shouted angrily, "Let me, Ye Zhiqiu, see what you can do! Black Tortoise, possession!"
His four limbs contracted by a third at the same time, while his back bulged into a huge shell.
Black light flickered over his entire body as five Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet and circled him.
Of the five Soul Rings, one was white, two were yellow, and two were purple.
A Soul King!
Dai Mubai's pupils shrank. He's a Five-Ring Soul King?
But he still steeled himself and shouted, "You'll still kneel for me!"
Dai Mubai threw a punch.
Ye Zhiqiu's clumsy tortoise body slid onto its knees with a swish, coming to a stop before Dai Mubai. His two short arms reached up and held Dai Mubai's fist.
The pose was utterly ridiculous.
Dai Mubai threw back his head and laughed. "Hahahahaha!!! Now you know how powerful I am!!!!"
However-
Just then, Dai Mubai dropped to his knees in front of Ye Zhiqiu with a thud.
The two knelt there, staring at each other...
Dai Mubai said, "What the hell is going on???"
[100% Barehanded Blade Catch: If your opponent's Soul Power is higher than yours, the effect will rebound on you!]
Damn it, Dai Mubai thought. You should've said so earlier!
By then, Ye Zhiqiu had broken free of the control. Being made to kneel before a junior today was an utter humiliation!
"Kneeling before me won't save you! Die!"
Ye Zhiqiu roared and struck at Dai Mubai with his palm.
Dai Mubai came to his senses as well and hastily threw another punch. "Even if the effect rebounds on me, I can keep making you kneel!"
"Boom!!!"
A tremendous crash rang out.
The ceiling shattered, and a dark figure descended from above.
Zhao Wuji slid onto his knees!
He slid to a stop, kneeling before Dai Mubai, both hands raised to catch and hold his fist!
The whole place fell silent...
A pin could have been heard dropping.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the bizarre scene.
Zhao Wuji knelt before Dai Mubai, holding his fist up with both hands, a bewildered look on his face.
Dai Mubai was just as stunned. He held his punching pose, not moving an inch.
Zhao Wuji came to his senses.
The bewilderment on his face turned to anger, and then to fury.
"I was sleeping just fine, Dai! Mu! Bai! How dare you make me kneel before you???!!!"
Zhao Wuji's roar shook the entire hotel.
Dai Mubai immediately lost his nerve. His face turned deathly pale, and his legs went weak.
[War God Points depleted to 0. Random War God effect ended.]
Dai Mubai hastily waved his hands, his voice rising in pitch. "T-Teacher Zhao, let me make excuses... No, let me explain..."
"Explain my ass!"
Zhao Wuji rose to his feet in fury, his face so dark it could have dripped water.
Soul Rings emerged around him, one after another.
Yellow!
Yellow!
Purple!
Purple!
Black!
Black!
Black!
Seven Soul Rings-a Soul Saint!
That terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire hotel.
At the sight, Ye Zhiqiu was scared shitless and fled, scrambling and stumbling.
"Run!"
The other Canghui Academy students hurried after him, terrified they would be caught in the crossfire if they were too slow.
Dai Mubai wasn't so lucky.
Zhao Wuji sprang forward, his powerful body pinning Dai Mubai down. He pressed him to the ground and gave him a thorough beating!
"That's for showing off, you brat!"
"That's for making me kneel, you brat!"
"If I don't beat your ass until it blossoms today, my name isn't Zhao Wuji!"
Zhao Wuji cursed as he beat him, every punch landing on flesh.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Dai Mubai howled under the beating and scurried about with his head in his arms.
"Teacher Zhao, I was wrong! I really was wrong!"
"Ah! Not the face! Not the face!"
"My nose! My nose is broken!"
"Teacher Zhao, spare me!"
Dai Mubai was beaten black and blue, stars dancing before his eyes and blood running from the corner of his mouth. His handsome face had turned into a pig's head in an instant.
He tried to fight back, but Zhao Wuji was a Soul Saint. How could a mere Soul Elder like him resist?
"You still dare dodge?"
Zhao Wuji seized Dai Mubai by the collar and lifted him up.
"Weren't you looking mighty impressive just now? Didn't you make me kneel?"
"Why have you lost your nerve now?"
Dai Mubai pulled a long face. "Teacher Zhao, I... I didn't know..."
"Didn't know?"
Zhao Wuji sneered and smashed a fist into Dai Mubai's eye socket.
"Argh!"
Dai Mubai let out a miserable scream as his right eye instantly swelled into a black eye.
"That punch was for my knees!"
"Bang!"
Another punch followed.
"That punch was for my dignity!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Three punches in a row.
"Those three punches were for... for... #＆％!"
