Holy Light Tiger, White Tiger Holy Light Blast

Seeing Dai Mubai open his eyes, Zhao Wuji, who had been standing guard beside him, asked excitedly.

Flender also cast him a curious, expectant glance.

"Teacher Zhao, Dean Flender, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you this time."

"After refining and absorbing the Holy Light Tiger Soul Ring, I only obtained one long-range attack Soul Skill, called White Tiger Holy Light Blast, and my Soul Power Level only rose by one."

"Although, because the Holy Light Tiger Soul Ring is a Thousand-Year Soul Ring over six thousand years old, White Tiger Holy Light Blast is much more powerful than my original Second Soul Ring skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave."

Dai Mubai shook his head as he explained.

"Mubai, getting two Soul Skills from one ring is something you can only chance upon, not seek out. You should be content to have encountered it once, so don't feel disappointed."

"One Soul Skill per ring is the norm. Besides, a purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring over six thousand years old is beyond what other Soul Masters can imagine. That alone is already enough to shock the world."

"As for Soul Power, the further you progress, the harder it is to improve."

"On top of that, you have outstanding talent and deep foundations. Your Soul Power is already more abundant than that of other Soul Masters at the same level, and your combat strength is already greater than theirs."

"A one-level increase isn't low."

Worried that Dai Mubai might feel let down after his tremendous gains earlier, Flender gently comforted him.

"Don't worry, Dean. I'm already very satisfied to have obtained a purple Second Soul Ring over six thousand years old."

"I won't dwell on it," Dai Mubai said with a hearty smile.

"That's good, that's good." Hearing Dai Mubai say that, Flender breathed a sigh of relief and grew even more satisfied with Dai Mubai's character.

System, inspect my personal information, Dai Mubai said silently.

After inspecting his personal information, Dai Mubai gained a clearer, more direct understanding of what he had gained from absorbing the Holy Light Tiger Soul Ring.

Afterward, with Zhao Wuji's help, Dai Mubai tested the power of his second Soul Skill, White Tiger Holy Light Blast.

As a Soul Skill produced by a six-thousand-year Holy Light Tiger Soul Ring, its power was indeed beyond anything his former hundred-year Second Soul Ring skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave, could match-

Even with his Great Strength Vajra Bear Martial Soul possessing him and his defensive first Soul Skill, Immovable Bright King Body, activated, Zhao Wuji was prepared and hadn't allowed himself to be distracted.

Yet after taking a direct hit from Dai Mubai's White Tiger Holy Light Blast, Zhao Wuji was blasted five steps backward.

Afterward, Dai Mubai used everything he had. He first wrapped himself in a shield with White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense, then immediately built up momentum for a charge with White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge.

After crashing into Zhao Wuji, he followed up with White Tiger Holy Light Blast at point-blank range.

Zhao Wuji was blasted back, staggering, and only came to a stop after retreating nearly ten steps.

"Good lad, that White Tiger Holy Light Blast of yours really packs a punch. It's practically on par with the fourth Soul Skills of other Battle Soul Masters at the same level, isn't it?"

"And combined with your First Soul Ring's two Soul Skills, its power is even more astonishing."

"As expected of a student of Shrek Academy and me, Old Zhao. Mubai, you really are a monster among monsters, hahaha..."

A dignified Seven-Ring Soul Sage had been driven back by Dai Mubai, a Soul Elder.

Zhao Wuji didn't feel the least bit embarrassed. On the contrary, he was delighted.

"You old rascal, stop gilding your own face."

"Mubai is so outstanding because he's naturally gifted. What does that have to do with an old rascal like you?" Flender shot Zhao Wuji an exasperated glance.

"Dean Flender, Teacher Zhao Wuji is right."

"I, Dai Mubai, am a student of Shrek School and a student of both of you. Both of you also helped me hunt Soul Beasts here in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"The academy and both of you deserve credit for everything I've achieved so far. I wouldn't dare forget your kindness-"

Seeing that his two teachers were about to quarrel because of him, Dai Mubai stepped forward to make his position clear.

"Hahaha... Mubai, you're a good lad. I, Old Zhao, was right about you after all." Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhao Wuji's smile grew even brighter.

Flender's face was also full of a warm smile.

After all, what teacher wouldn't like a student like Dai Mubai, who was exceptionally talented yet neither arrogant nor rash, who valued bonds and loyalty, repaid kindness, and respected his teachers and their teachings?

Even though Dai Mubai wasn't Flender's personal disciple, that did nothing to stop Flender from liking, approving of, and valuing him.

[Ding, character [Flender]'s favorability toward the host has increased by 3 points. Current favorability: 72%]

[Ding, character [Zhao Wuji]'s favorability toward the host has increased by 3 points. Current favorability: 75%]

It had been just a simple attempt to stop a quarrel, although Dai Mubai had indeed spoken from the bottom of his heart.

But he hadn't expected that a single simple remark would raise Flender and Zhao Wuji's favorability toward him again.

Hearing the system notifications ring out in his mind, Dai Mubai felt very happy.

Flender and Zhao Wuji's favorability toward him had reached the same level as Ma Hongjun's and Oscar's.

He wasn't far from reaching 80% and triggering an ordinary Favorability Treasure Chest.

"All right, Mubai, now that you've refined and absorbed the Holy Light Tiger as your Second Soul Ring, we'll go look for the Soul Beast you need for your Third Soul Ring."

"I don't know whether our luck will be as good as before, or how long it will take to find the Soul Beast for your Third Soul Ring. We should be mentally prepared."

"As for stabilizing your Soul Power cultivation, Mubai, you can do that during our rest time each evening," Flender said.

"Okay," Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji both replied, then continued searching the forest.

"Mubai, what Soul Beast do you need for your Third Soul Ring?" Flender asked.

"Hmm... according to research by the elders in my family, my Third Soul Ring should preferably still come from a tiger-type Soul Beast, and ideally it should produce an enhancement-type Soul Skill."

"The Diamond Tiger happens to meet those requirements. My original third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, also came from hunting a Diamond Tiger."

"This time, I still plan to hunt a Diamond Tiger," Dai Mubai said.

"All right." With a clear target in mind, Flender spread the eagle wings on his back and immediately flew ahead, scouting the path while searching for the Diamond Tiger Soul Beast Dai Mubai needed.

Perhaps finding the Soul Beasts needed for the First and Second Soul Rings so quickly over the previous two or three days, including the rare and precious Heavenly Dipper Bug, had exhausted their good luck.

After that, Dai Mubai and his two companions searched the outer and middle regions of the Star Dou Great Forest for more than twenty full days.

Only then did they finally find their target.
