Miserable Dai Mubai(Part 2)

"No, I will never admit defeat. I still have one last soul skill," Dai Mubai gritted his teeth. If the other party hadn't interacted with Zhu Zhuqing, or if Zhu Zhuqing hadn't been present to watch, losing wouldn't have been so shameful. But how could a man admit defeat in front of a woman? Especially when the enemy might very well be his romantic rival.

"Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation."

The purple soul ring instantly shone brightly, and the air around Dai Mubai began to distort. His evil eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and the sharp blades of the Blue Silver Emperor that wrapped around him fell off. With a loud explosion, all the Blue Silver Emperor vines, including the branches that had pierced into his body, were shaken off.

Dai Mubai's body underwent a second transformation.

Dai Mubai laughed wildly, "Haha! My White Tiger Vajra Transformation can last for half an hour. During this time, my resistance to abnormal conditions, along with my attack, defense, and strength, will all double. With my thirty-seventh-level soul power, under this amplification, your Blue Silver Grass will no longer be able to harm me."

Zuzong smiled faintly and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then let's give it a try."

"Second Soul Skill—Blue Silver Blades."

As he spoke, Zuzong controlled the Blue Silver Emperor vines with his soul power, casting the skill.

The second yellow soul ring surrounding Zuzong lit up.

Dozens of deep blue Blue Silver Emperor vines, glowing with black phosphorus, suddenly shot up from the arena floor. The top few meters of each vine straightened, transforming into sharp blades. They shot towards Dai Mubai in all directions, leaving no gaps.

Unable to dodge, Dai Mubai had no choice but to activate his soul power again, using the "First Soul Skill—White Tiger Barrier" to defend himself. With the combined effects of the "Third Soul Skill—White Tiger Vajra Transformation" and the "First Soul Skill—White Tiger Barrier," Dai Mubai's defense reached its peak. 

For a while, even Zuzong's "Blue Silver Blades" couldn't break through. However, Dai Mubai wasn't faring well either. The relentless attacks from the Blue Silver Blades carried immense force, and each stab or slash caused his blood to surge, with his bones crackling as if they were about to shatter.

The entire arena echoed with gasps of shock.

"Is this still a battle between Soul Elders?" someone from the crowd couldn't help but shout.

Meng Yiran, who had been watching the fight intently, asked Tang San, "Xiao San, do you think Dai Mubai will be alright?"

If it were her in the ring, she would have surrendered long ago. She didn't have the kind of defensive abilities Dai Mubai possessed.

Tang San shook his head gravely and tried to reassure her, "Don't underestimate Dai Mubai. He's strong. However..." His expression grew more serious, as he suspected that Zuzong had been holding back the whole time. It seemed that even this soul skill, "Blue Silver Blades," wasn't being used to its full power. Compared to Zuzong's skill, Tang San's own "Third Soul Skill—Spider Web Bind" felt insignificant.

"Ah!" After holding out for a moment, Dai Mubai's defense finally broke, and he collapsed on the ground, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Without hesitation, Zuzong used the Blue Silver Emperor vines to bind Dai Mubai tightly.

—Turtle Shell Bind.

Zuzong turned to the referee and said, "Can you declare my victory now?"

The tuxedo-wearing middle-aged referee rolled his eyes at Zuzong, thinking, "You could've just tied him up, but did you really have to do it in such an... explicit way?"

The referee loudly announced, "I now officially declare that in the 138th one-on-one soul battle of the month, the final victor is Uchiha Zong. Congratulations to Battle Soul Elder Uchiha Zong on achieving his fifth consecutive victory in the one-on-one soul battles."

As soon as the referee made the announcement, the arena erupted with thunderous applause, like a dam bursting.

Dai Mubai, bound in such a humiliating position, glanced at Zuzong and then looked toward the Shrek team. He noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's gaze had been fixed on Zuzong the entire time.

At the same time, he could hear the voices of the surrounding discussions.

"Look, it's that Evil-Eyed White Tiger, so embarrassed."

"You think that's bad? You should've seen how he got humiliated at the start!"

"Really?"

The mocking voices came in waves, and Dai Mubai spat out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.

This time, the blood wasn't from severe injuries but from sheer anger.

Zuzong snapped his fingers, and the Blue Silver Grass binding Dai Mubai automatically loosened and fell away.

On the other side, seeing that Dai Mubai had fainted, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others rushed over to help him and carry him away.

Watching Dai Mubai being carried off, Zuzong's lips curled into a sinister smile. No one knew that while binding Dai Mubai, Zuzong had injected a trace of fire poison into a certain sensitive area of his body. This fire poison came from the "Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame" that had once been on Xiao Xun'er, and had now fully merged with Zuzong's Blue Silver Emperor. 

The fire poison wouldn't activate under normal conditions, but when Dai Mubai experienced lust, he would be consumed by the fire, and it wouldn't stop until all his vitality was burned away. It was even worse than Ma Hongjun's evil fire.

"Dai Mubai, you like playing with twin beauties at the Rose Hotel, don't you? I'll make sure you get to enjoy them—so much that after this, even if you survive, you'll be utterly ruined."

Returning to the Emperor Team's private box, the Shrek group, including Xiao Wu, were already waiting.

As soon as Xiao Wu saw Zuzong return, she leaped towards him like a swallow returning to its nest, wrapping herself around his neck like a koala.

"Wow! Xiao Zong, you were amazing just now! You beat that perverted tiger so badly!"

"Yeah! Zuzong, you were awesome! That 'Blue Silver Blades' move was epic," Osler, the most excitable of the group, said enthusiastically.

Zuzong took off his fox mask and smiled, "Really?"

"It was indeed cool!" Unexpectedly, even the usually quiet Ye Lingling spoke up. However, her next words almost made Zuzong spit out blood, "Except for that cheap move, 'One Thousand Years of Death,' and the strange way you tied him up at the end."

"Come on, girl, you really have to throw in a twist like that?" was what everyone in the room thought at that moment.

The Emperor Team's teacher, Qin Ming, was clearly also taken aback by Ye Lingling's comment. He had just managed to calm down after being startled by Zuzong's rather... "inappropriate" moves.

Clearing his throat, Qin Ming criticized, "Ahem, Zuzong, in the future, try not to use moves like 'One Thousand Years of Death' if you can avoid it. And absolutely no using it inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. Also, that strange binding technique—don't use that again either."

Zuzong nodded, his face slightly embarrassed, "Understood, Teacher Qin."

Just then, the door to the box creaked open.
