Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Virtues

"Kid Mubai, since you say you're confident you can absorb a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as your third Soul Ring."

"Then I, Old Zhao, will be looking forward to seeing you create another miracle."

Zhao Wuji spoke as he returned, having left his Martial Soul Avatar form and dragging the barely breathing, half-dead Diamond Tiger behind him.

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhao. I don't want to die yet, so I'll definitely succeed-"

Looking at the man before him, with his thick brows and large eyes, who had not spoken a single word to dissuade him but whose eyes concealed deep concern, Dai Mubai spoke with unwavering resolve.

With that, Dai Mubai stepped forward with a dagger and plunged it into the Diamond Tiger's hate-filled eye. After he stirred the dagger around inside its head for a while, the Diamond Tiger finally breathed its last.

Though Zhao Wuji had pounded it until its muscles and bones were shattered, while pinning it down the entire time.

The Diamond Tiger had not struggled too fiercely as Dai Mubai killed it, but even after it breathed its last, its still-open, viciously glaring eyes were full of deep hatred.

It hated humans, hated human Soul Masters, and hated Zhao Wuji for invading its territory for no reason and beating it half to death without a word.

And it hated that it had ultimately fallen at Dai Mubai's hands, becoming a Soul Ring for this "weak human." The Diamond Tiger truly hated it all so much...

Humans, damned humans, you deserve to die! Roar!!!

Dai Mubai sat cross-legged on the ground, using his Soul Power to draw the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring that had condensed and floated above the Diamond Tiger's corpse onto himself.

As Dai Mubai began absorbing and refining the violent Soul Power within the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the refinement entered its final stage.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to finish refining the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

A tiger's roar filled with deep resentment rang out in Dai Mubai's mind. This was precisely the Soul Beast's soul shock contained within a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Because the Diamond Tiger bore such deep resentment toward humans, human Soul Masters, and Dai Mubai, this soul shock was particularly powerful.

But Dai Mubai had long been wary of it and kept his guard up.

Finally couldn't hold back? Too bad I was prepared for you, Dai Mubai thought calmly.

Although the Diamond Tiger had not provoked him, and it was not an evil Soul Beast like the Man Faced Demon Spider or the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger...

There was no helping it. Humans and Soul Beasts were born on opposite sides.

Only with those like Ah Yin and Xiao Wu, who bore no great malice toward ordinary humans and spent a long time together as companions, would feelings such as friendship and familial affection gradually arise.

In Dai Mubai's eyes, ordinary Soul Beasts were just animals.

Perhaps he would not slaughter Soul Beasts indiscriminately for no reason, but when he needed a Soul Ring and encountered a Soul Beast that suited him, he would not show mercy.

He had goodness in him, but not much, just as he had evil in him, but not much either.

In the mental world within the region of his brow, he faced the Ten Thousand Year Diamond Tiger's soul as it charged at him with a roar, towering black evil flames raging all over its body.

Just as Dai Mubai was preparing to mobilize his mental power to resist and suppress it.

Suddenly, two forces surged from every part of Dai Mubai's body into his mind, then took the form of two energy phantoms as enormous as mountains.

One was a fierce tiger with eerie red and blue eyes, wings on its back, and a body that was both evil and sacred.

The other was a sinister, savage, bloodthirsty, and evil blade, seething with baleful Qi.

The instant Dai Mubai saw the two energy phantoms, he realized that they were none other than his First Martial Soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger, and his Second Martial Soul, the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul.

Dai Mubai was puzzled and surprised, however, as to why his two Martial Souls had projected themselves into his sea of consciousness at this moment.

After all, nothing like this had happened when he absorbed either the Heavenly Dipper Bug's Soul Ring or the Holy Light Tiger's Soul Ring.

And just as Dai Mubai was puzzling over it.

The Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul that had appeared in his sea of consciousness opened its mouth and let out a deafening tiger's roar. The next second, a powerful, domineering suction erupted from its open jaws.

The powerful suction fell upon the charging Diamond Tiger's soul, whose body was engulfed in raging evil flames.

The next second, the pitch-black evil flames born from the Diamond Tiger's extreme fury and resentment were devoured by the Evil Eye White Tiger in an instant.

As the evil flames on the Diamond Tiger's soul were devoured, its soul returned to normal, changing from a violent, aggressive state to one of docile calm.

Meanwhile, after the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had devoured the evil flames on the Diamond Tiger's soul.

The black stripes covering the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul's snowy white fur became even darker and more sinister.

Both righteous and evil was xie; capable of righteousness and evil was xie. Xie lay between good and evil-

The Evil Eye White Tiger was called xie precisely because it stood between good and evil, between the sacred and the evil.

For the Evil Eye White Tiger to complete its evolution and reach its ultimate divine-grade Martial Soul form, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King, it had to devour and absorb enough of both good and evil.

Evil was the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust;

Good was the Seven Virtues: humility, tolerance, patience, diligence, generosity, temperance, and chastity.

The towering pitch-black evil flames that the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had just absorbed from the Diamond Tiger's soul were precisely the evil power contained in wrath, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

The Diamond Tiger's heart had been full of anger and resentment before its death. Though the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had now devoured that power, it was not enough to make the Evil Eye White Tiger evolve.

But the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had indeed become more complete and grown.

Through the information fed back by his Martial Soul, Dai Mubai could clearly sense this.

Earlier, when taking the Innate Full Soul Pill had further released and revealed the White Tiger Martial Soul's potential, and the White Tiger Martial Soul had evolved into the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul.

Dai Mubai had learned through his Martial Soul's feedback what conditions had to be met for the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul to continue becoming complete and advancing.

But at the time, Dai Mubai had no idea how to obtain the evil power of the Seven Deadly Sins or the good power of the Seven Virtues.

Besides, as a super Martial Soul second only to a divine-grade Martial Soul, the Evil Eye White Tiger was already sufficient for the time being.

Compared with further completing and advancing the Evil Eye White Tiger, matters such as adding Soul Rings and raising his Soul Power cultivation were more urgent.

He had never expected that refining and absorbing the Diamond Tiger Soul Ring today would lead him to discover a way to obtain Original Sin Evil Power, and even obtain Wrath Original Sin Evil Power.

He had to admit, it was quite a pleasant surprise-

Just then, however, Dai Mubai made another discovery.

When the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul had let out its earthshaking roar and devoured the towering evil flames on the Diamond Tiger's soul.

The Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul, which had appeared in his sea of consciousness alongside it, had also been eager to devour and absorb the Diamond Tiger's soul and transform it into a Demonic Soul Chang Ghost within the Tiger Soul Domain-

But the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul's need for Chang Ghost Demonic Souls was not as urgent as the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul's need for Original Sin Evil Power, so the Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul had chosen to let the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul take the first bite.

It had not expected the Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul to devour only the evil flames on the Diamond Tiger's soul, leaving the soul itself untouched.

Now, faced with the Diamond Tiger's soul, which had returned to a calm and docile state.

The Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul Martial Soul asked him whether it should transform the soul into a Demonic Soul Chang Ghost, enslaving it to do his bidding.
