A Match for the World's Number One

"Boss Dai, we're good brothers who've studied together and visited brothels together! From now on, I'm counting on you to look after me, boss. You can't refuse!"

When the little fatty Ma Hongjun learned that Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level had broken through to the level 30 Soul Elder realm, he immediately rushed forward and shamelessly clung to Dai Mubai's leg.

"We're brothers, so of course I'll look after you, Fatty. But don't bring up those bastard things we did before. I'm planning to turn over a new leaf and start fresh."

Dai Mubai pulled the fatty off his leg, then picked him up by the back of his collar and kicked him in the butt.

"Ow~" Ma Hongjun let out a strange yelp, then rolled back to his teacher Flender's side.

Although Dai Mubai had kicked him in the butt, Ma Hongjun wasn't angry.

Not only that, his favorability, which had originally been 69%, had even risen to 72% because of Dai Mubai's kick.

That was right, because they were roommates.

Dai Mubai had often treated Ma Hongjun to food, drinks, and prostitutes in the past.

And since Ma Hongjun was a person who valued loyalty and friendship, his initial favorability toward Dai Mubai was even higher than Oscar's.

However, Ma Hongjun was relatively younger, and Dai Mubai's promise to look after him wasn't as moving as the deeper appreciation and regard he had shown Oscar.

Thus, although Ma Hongjun's favorability had risen, it hadn't risen as much as Oscar's.

Still, 72% favorability was quite high. If Dai Mubai found a few suitable chances to raise it again, a favorability treasure chest would surely drop soon.

But compared with Oscar and Ma Hongjun's excitement,

Flender and the other teachers at the academy grew serious when they heard that Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level had broken through, rising three levels in a single night.

Clearly, they were just like Zhao Wuji earlier.

They mistakenly believed that Dai Mubai had taken medicine that overdrew his potential as a side effect, or had strayed onto the wrong path and used an Evil Soul Master's methods.

Although Shrek Academy took a relatively hands-off approach to teaching,

And Dai Mubai's former dejected, dispirited, and dissolute behavior had left them somewhat disappointed,

Dai Mubai was, after all, a student of Shrek Academy, a student under their care.

Naturally, they cared about Dai Mubai and worried that he had taken harmful medicine or strayed onto the wrong path and fallen into becoming an Evil Soul Master.

"Flender, Old Shao, Old Lu, Old Li, Mubai said he didn't do any of the things you're worried about."

"Although he didn't use medicine or stray onto the wrong path and use an Evil Soul Master's methods, he did say something had happened to his Martial Soul."

"When I asked him about it just now, he didn't explain much. He only said he'd wait until you got back to talk about it," Zhao Wuji explained.

When Flender and the others heard the first part of what Zhao Wuji said, their expressions eased somewhat. But when they heard that something had happened to Dai Mubai's Martial Soul,

Their expressions immediately grew serious again, even graver than before.

After all, a Martial Soul was the foundation of a Soul Master. Once something went wrong with it, the impact on the Soul Master would be enormous.

"Kid Mubai, at a time like this, stop keeping things hidden. Hurry up and tell us what happened to your Martial Soul that made your Soul Power soar three levels in one night."

Zhao Wuji pressed him anxiously.

The other teachers around them, along with Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had been happy about the rise in Dai Mubai's Soul Power cultivation, also looked at him worriedly.

After all, something going wrong with a Martial Soul was no small matter.

Sensing everyone's concern and worry for him, Dai Mubai stopped keeping them in suspense and immediately gave them the explanation he had prepared.

"Dean Flender, teachers, when I said something had happened to my Martial Soul, I meant that it mutated for some unknown reason..."

But before Dai Mubai could finish, Flender cut him off halfway through.

The subject of Martial Soul Mutation was simply too sensitive for Flender.

His closest friend and brother, Yu Xiaogang, who had once traveled the Soul Master World with him and came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had suffered a Martial Soul Mutation.

As a result, no matter how hard he cultivated, he was unable to break through to the level 30 Soul Elder realm;

And his personal disciple, Ma Hongjun, had also suffered a Martial Soul Mutation, which had left him plagued by Evil Fire ever since his Martial Soul Awakening at the age of six.

Though a noble phoenix Soul Master, he had been forced to frequent brothels, because only that could prevent the Evil Fire from consuming him and causing his body to explode.

Now that he heard Dai Mubai say his Martial Soul had also mutated, how could Flender not worry-

After interrupting Dai Mubai, Flender hurriedly asked, his face full of concern, "Did your Martial Soul mutate for the better, or for the worse?"

"For the better." Knowing that Dean Flender was so anxious because he was worried about him, Dai Mubai hurriedly replied.

"My White Tiger Martial Soul was originally somewhere between a high-grade and a top-grade Martial Soul, only slightly inferior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."

"Now that my Martial Soul has mutated, it's grown much stronger. Not only has it leaped into the top grade, it's even among the very best of top-grade Martial Souls."

"My Martial Soul is now called the Evil Eye White Tiger. Its strength has not only surpassed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but can even rival the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one tool Martial Soul."

"It was precisely because my Martial Soul mutated for the better that my Soul Power Level rose three levels in a row, rather than falling and setting my cultivation back."

Although Dai Mubai's Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had already reached the level of a super Martial Soul and surpassed the Clear Sky Hammer,

For now, he was only bringing the change in his First Martial Soul into the open before his teachers, not revealing all his hidden cards and secrets.

So Dai Mubai only said that his Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, having mutated for the better, was among the very best of top-grade Martial Souls. He didn't say it was a super Martial Soul.

"A beneficial mutation? Oh~ That's good, that's good."

Hearing Dai Mubai's explanation, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others breathed a great sigh of relief, followed immediately by a surge of wild joy.

Martial Soul Mutations could be good or bad, but since this one was for the better, it was naturally worth celebrating.

Especially since Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul had originally only been of high-grade quality.

After mutating into the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, its quality had even surpassed that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the world's number one Beast Martial Soul, placing it among the best of top-grade Martial Souls.

It could even rival the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one tool Martial Soul.

How could Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others not be happy? This was the true world's number one Beast Martial Soul, capable of rivaling the world's number one tool Martial Soul!

This meant that their Shrek Academy had produced a true super genius, a true monster.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the other academy teachers silently made up their minds.

Whatever had caused Dai Mubai to become dejected and dispirited in the past, from now on, even if they had to chase him around all day with sticks in hand,

They would make the prodigal son turn back and train him into a genius who had both talent and the will to work hard.

They could leave the other disciples Shrek had recruited in the past to their own devices, but not Dai Mubai.

Because his talent was simply too outstanding.
