What a Huge Build
Unlike Ning Rongrong, who was excited to be making her first appearance, Zhu Zhuqing trembled slightly when she heard the words "White Tiger," though she quickly calmed down.
Below the small arena, Dai Mubai strode over with a slightly swaggering air, his arms around a pair of twin sisters and another pair following behind him. He looked every bit an insufferably arrogant young master.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Dai Mubai, whose long golden hair hung loose down his back. His face was pale and somewhat weary, and he had clearly indulged himself to excess. A trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
My luck's pretty good. Two newcomers, of all people. Dai Mubai stepped into the arena and felt somewhat relieved when he heard his opponents were a newly formed team. Although he had some confidence in his strength, his legs really were a little weak right now. Those vixens really wouldn't stop until they had sucked him dry.
"Hey, isn't that the prince of the Star Luo Empire? He's certainly blessed with female company, with two pairs of twin sisters following him around."
"Those two opposite him are from the Douluo Continent too, aren't they? Country bumpkins fighting each other. Hahaha, this should be interesting."
"I'd say Dai Mubai has the better chance. He's been in Mingdu for so long, after all, while those bumpkins only just arrived."
The Soul Masters around them pointed and commented on Dai Mubai, Xu De, and Ning Rongrong. Dai Mubai was the example the Sun Moon Emperor had put forward to attract nobles who wanted to join the Sun Moon Empire, so they naturally recognized him.
As for why they judged Ning Rongrong and the others to be from the Douluo side, it was because they weren't wearing any Soul Tools. In Mingdu, what local went out without carrying three or four Soul Tools?
In the arena, the women Dai Mubai had been holding retreated to the edge, clearly intending to leave the fight to him rather than take part. Ning Rongrong, meanwhile, gave Dai Mubai a look of contempt.
She had no particular opinion about Dai Mubai having so many women. After all, he was decent-looking, a member of the imperial family, and quite strong. It was only natural that he attracted many women.
But given her status, she naturally knew how Dai Mubai had come here. Afraid he couldn't defeat Dai Weisi, he had given up on himself. Once the Sun Moon Empire said it could shelter him, he had come scampering over. A prince's defection could be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the Star Luo Empire's morale.
It had also given others in the Star Luo Empire ideas. After all, if the Sun Moon Empire could accept a prince, there was no reason it wouldn't accept them. At worst, their fiefs would be a little smaller, but at least they could carry on being nobles.
"White Tiger possession!" Dai Mubai naturally felt Ning Rongrong's undisguised contempt, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. With Ning Rongrong's name and her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, he could naturally guess who she was. How is this bitch any better than me? How does she have the nerve to look down on me?
Dai Mubai's muscles swelled, and his golden hair instantly turned black and white, with white predominating. A pattern shaped like the character for "king" appeared on his forehead, his hands tripled in size, and white fur covered his palms.
"The seven treasures turn, and glazed light emerges." Ning Rongrong didn't remain idle either. Brilliant seven-colored light poured from her body, and where it gathered, a seven-colored pagoda over a foot tall appeared in her right palm.
Its precious light glittered, radiating nobility. Two Yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet, and she looked as ethereal as an immortal. Even Xu De clicked his tongue in amazement. Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing each had their own beauty, with three completely different styles, but there was no doubt that all three were beauties of the highest order.
"White Tiger Vajra Transformation!" Dai Mubai's body swelled again, and a Thousand-Year Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet. He looked just like a real White Tiger.
"Seven Treasures Have Names, First: Strength."
"Seven Treasures Have Names, Second: Speed."
By this time, Xu Wushuang had also completed his possession. His Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon was already one of the very finest Beast Martial Souls, and after he consumed an Immortal Herb, his Martial Soul had evolved again. It was already faintly approaching the bottleneck of breaking through to become a true dragon.
Looking at Xu De, whose body was covered in dragon scales and who was a size larger than himself, Dai Mubai couldn't help feeling an urge to retreat. This thing seemed to have a natural bloodline suppression over his White Tiger, and it was also his first time seeing a Beast Martial Soul with a larger build than his own.
The gazes of the three people in the arena involuntarily lowered somewhat. Ning Rongrong's face flushed crimson, the woman licked her lips, and Dai Mubai felt a sense of inferiority rise in his heart.
Damn it, if I'd known, I wouldn't have worn such tight clothes. The outfit he wore was itself a Soul Tool, with an elastic adjustment function. Although Soul Tools were forbidden in restricted-division matches, functional clothing used only to adjust the fit did not violate the rules.
But his build after transforming was too large. Even with his clothes set to their largest size, they still clung tightly to his body, displaying his tall, muscular physique to the fullest.
"Dark Demon Evil God Blade!" Xu De didn't intend to use too much of his strength. Of course, that was also because Dai Mubai wasn't worth using too much strength against.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement, the dark red flying blade was not only more powerful and faster, but even its cutting ability had been amplified. This surprised Xu De somewhat. It seemed he had underestimated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities.
Dai Mubai didn't dare be careless. He used White Tiger Protection Barrier and White Tiger Fierce Light Wave at the same time, spitting a white ball of light from his mouth. But by then, the flying blade had already reached him.
The ball of light collided with the flying blade and was immediately shattered by it, without the slightest suspense. Dai Mubai didn't dare be careless. He guarded his chest with both hands as Soul Power surged rapidly through his body, and his arms swelled a little more. For the moment, he actually managed to hold the flying blade back by sheer force.
"Who is this guy? Even if it's a Thousand-Year Soul Ring, how can one Soul Skill push Dai Mubai this far?"
"Even with a support-type Soul Master enhancing him, surely he shouldn't be this terrifying? Dai Mubai's a Soul Ancestor, after all!"
An uproar broke out among the people below the stands. They were clearly surprised to see Dai Mubai being crushed. At Xu De's direction, the Sun Moon Empire had given Dai Mubai plenty of Soul Power potions and powerful secret medicines.
The current Dai Mubai was a level 43 Soul Ancestor, a full six levels higher than in the original work. The price, of course, was that his potential had been overdrawn and his Soul Power was unstable. Never mind becoming a god, he couldn't even reach Super Douluo. At best, he could become an ordinary Titled Douluo.
"White Tiger Meteor Shower!" Feeling the corrosion and burning in his arms, Dai Mubai realized that the flying blade didn't just have cutting power; it also had an evil attribute.
His fourth Soul Skill had originally been the trump card he planned to unleash in a sneak attack on Xu De, but now he didn't dare keep it hidden. If the stalemate continued, even if he managed to disperse the flying blade, his hands would be ruined.
Countless fist-sized balls of light shot out with his body at the center. After a third of them had been expended, the Dark Demon Evil God Blade finally dissipated, while the remaining two-thirds headed straight for Ning Rongrong!
Dai Mubai was no longer acting to win. His opponent had forced him to exert all his strength with just one Soul Skill. How could he have any hope of winning? Now he only wanted to disgust Ning Rongrong.
