Chapter 37 Dai Mubai Shows Off_1
"Hiss, it hurts."
Very soon, a sharp pain in his hand snapped Dai Mubai out of his reverie, causing him to involuntarily inhale a breath of cold air.
At that moment, Xu Ran was pinching Dai Mubai's hand with such force that Mubai's face trembled with pain. After acquiring the Kirin Bloodline, Xu Ran's physical state, though not as abnormal as his beast form, had still been greatly enhanced by the bloodline, making him much stronger.
It could be said that, in terms of physical constitution alone, Xu Ran's strength was close to that of a Soul Emperor.
"Ding, congratulations 'Host' for triggering the mission, 'Teach Dai Mubai a lesson.' Earn 100 to 200 Skill Points based on the 'Host's inflicted psychological trauma on Dai Mubai."
Hearing the System's voice, Xu Ran couldn't help but smile. He had been thinking about teaching Dai Mubai a lesson anyway, and now he had the perfect opportunity.
"Divine Strength? Is it truly Divine Strength? Let go of me quickly!" Dai Mubai was in so much pain that his scalp tingled. He tried to pull his hand away with force, but Xu Ran's strength was beyond his imagination. His hand was firmly gripped by Xu Ran and couldn't be pulled free. Could this youngster in front of him actually be so strong?
This was simply impossible; the man looked even younger than himself. How could he possibly be stronger? He, who possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul, was an unsurpassed genius. Within the Dai family, he was the disciple with the strongest talent, even stronger than Davis. Even after coming to Shrek Academy—a place that only accepted monstrous talents—he was still the strongest.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were far inferior to him. A food-class Soul Master whose Martial Soul had no offensive power, although he had Innate full soul power, what's the difference between a man with no combat ability and trash? And as for Ma Hongjun, not only was his talent not as strong as his, he even had to do that kind of thing to remove his evil fire—once the Essence of Life was gone, he would be finished.
How could they compare with him, Dai Mubai? If they were considered geniuses, monsters, then he was the monster among monsters. And it was not only his talent that was formidable; his status was also noble. A prince of The Empire—how could an ordinary person compare?
However strong he was, he didn't consider himself invincible. There were still many of his contemporaries in the world who could compete with him.
But this person in front of him was clearly not one of them. Without unleashing their Martial Souls, this individual was many times stronger than himself. This person must have Divine Strength and nothing more.
"Aren't you going to let go?" Dai Mubai's muscles twitched in pain. If this person didn't come to his senses, he would have to unleash his Martial Soul to teach him a lesson. So what if he had Divine Strength? This world isn't ruled by some country bumpkin. If he unleashed his Martial Soul, then he would have no choice but to submit.
"Fine." Xu Ran let go of Dai Mubai's hand just as he tried to pull away. Instantly, Dai Mubai fell backward and landed face-first on the ground.
"Pfft." Seeing this scene, Xiaowu couldn't help but snicker, looking at Dai Mubai with a trace of disdain in her eyes. Trying to imitate others and flirt when he's this weak, he could only make a fool of himself.
"You dare to mock me?" Dai Mubai got up from the ground, dusting himself off, and looked at Xu Ran with anger. His heart was ablaze with fury. Since arriving at Shrek Academy, he had never before been so humiliated.
Here, by virtue of his exceptional talent, he had a high status at Shrek Academy. In Soto City, he had plenty of beautiful women at his disposal.
As the Third Prince of the Xingluo Empire, when had he ever been subjected to such ridicule?
He could tell that Xu Ran had deliberately let go at that moment, just to make him look foolish.
"Mock you? So what if I did? How can you lay a hand on my woman?" Xu Ran said coldly, looking indifferently at Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai really was shameless. Coming straight up to hit on Xiaowu, didn't he see that Ran was there? Couldn't even protect his own fiancée, yet trying to pick up Xiaowu from his side? What a joke.
Hearing Xu Ran's words, Xiaowu's pretty face blushed slightly, but she couldn't help feeling happy inside. So in Brother Xu Ran's heart, she was his woman? But he already had a fiancée.
Was he thinking of having them both? How bad.
Xiaowu pouted, glancing at Xu Ran. The thought of him already having a fiancée made her unable to suppress her anger. He already had a fiancée, yet he said she was his woman and was still so lecherous.
However, she never spoke these words out loud. In The Soul Beast Realm, it was very normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. In truth, she was just a bit jealous.
"Your woman? Hmph. What of it? Since ancient times, beauties have matched with heroes. A weakling, how could he be worthy of a beauty?" Dai Mubai spoke, having made up his mind that Xu Ran only had Divine Power and was not genuinely strong, and thus he said contemptuously.
After all, brute strength alone was useless.
"Oh?" Xu Ran raised his eyebrows, surprised as he looked at Dai Mubai. He had never encountered someone with such a thick face. Having just lost to him, now he dared to be so arrogant.
And this about having Divine Power; it couldn't be that he thought he was the only genius in this world, could it?
If he were truly a genius, why run? Just stand up and fight Davis.
What a joke.
Dai Mubai's fiancée had been snatched away by him—what was he worth? However, Xu Ran was not ready to reveal his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Mubai yet. He would wait until he and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Shrek Academy together and show off in his face.
"Hmph, the young calf is not afraid of the tiger." Dai Mubai, seeing Xu Ran's disdainful gaze, immediately became angry. He furiously looked at Xu Ran and directly unleashed his Martial Soul.
"White Tiger, possess me." Dai Mubai shouted loudly, and a strong pale light burst out from his body. His arms spread open, and his chest puffed out as his bones made crackling sounds, and his muscles suddenly swelled, stretching his clothes tight.
Beneath his feet, two yellow and one purple Soul Rings rose, and the rotation between the Soul Rings left no doubt about his strength as a level 37 Soul Elder.
"Dai Mubai, what are you doing? They are here to join Shrek Academy," Ma Hongjun said as he saw the situation escalate and couldn't help but speak up. Dai Mubai's strength was extremely formidable. A level 37 Battle Soul Honor with a powerful White Tiger Martial Soul—any mishap would be troublesome.
"Hmph, coming to apply for Shrek Academy? Every year, many come to our academy. How many pass the test? Today, I will check their strength on behalf of the teachers. If they're not strong enough, they'd better go back."
"Moreover, even if they're lucky enough to join Shrek Academy, they must follow the rules. When meeting a senior, they must show some respect." Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom. Having lost face in front of Xu Ran, he naturally wanted to reclaim his dignity. Otherwise, other people might think he, Dai Mubai, was easy to bully.
Was he, Dai Mubai, someone easy to bully?
"This..." Ma Hongjun glanced at Dai Mubai, then at Xu Ran and Xiaowu, and said no more but ran off toward the academy. Although he was lecherous, he wasn't to that extent. If the teachers found out that he and Dai Mubai stopped the newcomers wanting to enter the school and attacked them—and for that reason—he'd be in deep trouble.
