Chapter 129 Breakthrough in Battle
Xiao Yan patted his shoulder armor, dispelling the dust in front of him. To Dai Mubai's astonishment, he stood unharmed in the spot.
"A ten-thousand-year soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower, the effect is not bad. It's a pity, Dai Mubai, you've met me. It's like you had to assassinate me of all people."
Xiao Yan's tone was very calm. If Dai Mubai, who had finally broken through to the Soul Sect, was only at this level, then he would surely die today.
Moreover, he hadn't let Agumon make a move yet, and he thought he might try to get some information out of Dai Mubai about the reason for his transformation.
"Xiao Yan, don't be so smug. Your current composure is just a facade. I unleashed four ten-thousand-year soul skills on you in one go. How could you act like nothing happened?"
As Dai Mubai spoke, he opened his mouth wide, and a burst of intense black and white light rushed towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan raised his hand and gently waved it away, as if dispersing smoke and dust, thus blocking his soul skill.
But Dai Mubai was not idle. At the same time as the fierce light wave attacked Xiao Yan, he also rushed forward, concentrated his soul power in his right hand, and swung it at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan remained calm despite seeing Dai Mubai's surging fist wind. He raised his right arm and directly blocked the opponent's punch, preventing him from advancing an inch.
The black, ten-thousand-year soul ring shimmered on Xiao Yan's body. This was the effect of his other fourth soul skill, Weakness. Now, Dai Mubai's movements and reactions were much slower, which was why he easily received the opponent's punch. Dai Mubai, who was already somewhat delirious, was completely unable to adapt to the effect of his weakness.
Then, flames condensed in his left hand, and the Blazing Fist slammed heavily into Dai Mubai's cheek, knocking him to the ground. He seemed to feel no pain and quickly got up, making his burned cheek look even more bizarre.
"That's it? If this is all you're relying on, Dai Mubai, then today is your last day."
Xiao Yan's cold voice was like the Grim Reaper tolling a death knell, urging Dai Mubai to set off.
Although Dai Mubai felt no pain at this moment, looking into Xiao Yan's eyes, he was filled with inexplicable fear. In an instant, he thought of his elder brother Davis's eyes. It was that look that forced him to leave his home and flee to this place.
Why do they all want to die? Why can't they ever have their wish granted?
"Hey, old man, if you don't show me some tricks, I'm going to die here! Didn't you say I'm one in a million? That my heterochromatic eyes make me the first person in the history of the White Tiger Clan to receive your inheritance? What other conditions do you want? I'll trade you anything. Do you want a leg or an arm?"
Dai Mubai looked up at the night sky, seemingly talking to someone.
Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing his words. If there were evil soul masters, shouldn't they all be imprisoned in the Slaughter City by the Spirit Hall these days? How could any soul masters have escaped, and those who did escape should all be renowned figures—
I've never heard of a Soul Master using such sinister methods.
Xiao Yan stood still, intending to use his killing move. He wanted to see what kind of ability the being summoned by Dai Mubai had. From the beginning, both sides had staked their lives on this duel. Logically speaking, the other party should not interfere. Could he possibly conjure up an offensive soul tool for him?
But this is the world of Douluo Continent 1. If there really were offensive soul tools, those imperial armies might not even bother to raise soul masters.
Unexpectedly, Dai Mubai then looked up at the sky and began to mutter to himself. His delirious state made others afraid to look at him for long, lest they be infected by his behavior.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll give you anything, as long as it's power. You can even ask for my lifespan. Just make me strong enough to kill Xiao Yan!"
Dai Mubai's tone grew faster and faster, tinged with a hint of longing.
It seemed that the other person was using a voice that they couldn't hear, chatting with Dai Mubai alone.
"Give it to me now, you old geezer!"
Before Xiao Yan could react, Dai Mubai knelt down in an extremely contorted position, curled up on the ground, and screamed in extreme pain, his cries even more agonizing than those of wild beasts in the mountains.
His face suddenly turned towards Xiao Yan. His previously intact left eye was now closed, revealing his right eye, which should have been blind. It was now open, and the gaze it gave was still lifeless.
Xiao Yan felt as if he had been seen through, and Dai Mubai's eyes did not look like his own eyes at all. He had experienced this feeling last time when he looked at the one-eyed scaled beast.
Could it be that Dai Mubai has been controlled by some kind of mental-type Soul Master?
Dugu Bo turned his head away, no longer looking at Dai Mubai curled up on the ground. In his eyes, this young man was beyond saving, constantly seeking power from the outside. He could see that this person named Dai Mubai was completely different from Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was able to absorb the ten-thousand-year soul ring only on his own solid foundation.
In contrast, Dai Mubai didn't rely on himself at all; otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up looking like this, neither human nor ghost.
From a distance, Flander bowed to Dugu Bo, clearly unwilling to watch any longer. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Dai Mubai, even if he wasn't some kind of evil soul master, couldn't escape involvement. With Dugu Bo present, Dai Mubai's fate was already sealed.
Right now, he thought it best to hurry back and comfort the remaining two students, who must be very curious about what happened at the academy gate.
A moment later, Dai Mubai, who was lying on the ground in pain, made a sound like a pipa playing from his bones. His full head of white hair made him look even more weathered. In contrast, Dai Mubai, who had now released his martial soul, looked even thinner, as if a layer of human skin was covering a withered skeleton.
However, the aura emanating from him was even stronger than before, emanating from within uncontrollably, directly approaching that of a Soul King.
"@#!￥" Dai Mubai opened his mouth, but it seemed that he had lost part of his language ability due to the painful roar he had just given, making it impossible to understand what he was muttering.
"Old monster, although Soul Masters can suppress their cultivation level to continue training, there's no such thing as obtaining a Soul Ring immediately upon breaking through, right?"
Agumon immediately moved closer to Xiao Yan, indicating that he also sensed a hint of danger from Dai Mubai.
Xiao Yan turned to Dugu Bo for advice, since Dugu Bo was knowledgeable and experienced.
Dugu Bo naturally shook his head: "Suppressing one's cultivation to continue cultivating is certainly possible. After obtaining a soul ring and breaking through, one can even directly surpass the bottleneck by several levels. However, no soul master has ever naturally obtained a soul ring after breaking through, unless—" Dugu Bo did not understand why Xiao Yan brought this up for a moment, until he noticed that the four soul rings that were originally floating on Dai Mubai's body had inexplicably broken through to five.
"Unless it's the legendary inheritance of the gods." Xiao Yan naturally continued. For him, a transmigrator, the gods were merely a goal for him to come to this place, but for these titled Douluo, they were the opportunity to break through that barrier that they longed for.
Only gods can accomplish such miracles, which exist only in stories passed down through generations.
"But Dai Mubai, what kind of god are you? You've turned yourself into something that's neither human nor ghost. You can only be an evil god, right?"
Xiao Yan looked at Dai Mubai and said coldly.
"@￥&*" Then Dai Mubai just opened his mouth and spoke in words they couldn't understand.
Xiao Yan sighed. The changes in Dai Mubai were obviously not related to Shrek Academy, otherwise Flander wouldn't have had that expression on his face. So it could only be related to him personally. If we really wanted to investigate, we might have to go to the Starfall Empire.
Now that only he, Dai Mubai, and Dugu Bo, who was still worried about him, remained, Xiao Yan stretched and actually deactivated his evolved form.
"Dai Mubai, you don't really think that just because you've been promoted to Soul King, you'll be my opponent, do you?"
"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something. Those two Soul Kings weren't killed by my secret protectors; I did it myself!"
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, the Tyrannosaurus Rex device clipped to his waist burst into light, causing Dugu Bo's eyes to widen before he could even process the meaning of Xiao Yan's words.
The Agumon, which was originally only as tall as Xiao Yan's waist, suddenly grew to a terrifying height of more than ten meters in an instant!
Dugu Bo reacted quickly, immediately leaping into the air. Only Dai Mubai, who was standing closest to Xiao Yan, was unable to stand steadily due to the shaking of the ground.
Standing on the shoulder of the Earth Tyrannosaurus Beast, Xiao Yan's body was illuminated by his two soul rings, one yellow and one purple.
