Chapter 51 Dai Mubai Wants Another Competition
The next morning.
The atmosphere on Shrek Academy's playground was somewhat eerie.
Dai Mubai appeared in the queue with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
Those evil eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze would occasionally sweep over Ye Liuyun, who was standing at the end of the group. Deep in his eyes was an uncontrollable resentment and killing intent.
The scene of being "shrouded in green light" last night was like a poisonous thorn stuck in his heart.
Although he couldn't beat Ye Liuyun, he couldn't swallow his anger.
"Today's training session will still consist of weighted long-distance running to improve physical fitness."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Dai Mubai, where he nodded.
"Mu Bai, now that you're awake and your health is fine, return to the team for training."
"You have a powerful offensive beast martial soul, so physical strength is your forte. I hope you can take the lead and wash away yesterday's shame."
The phrase "wash away the shame" instantly ignited the powder keg in Dai Mubai's heart.
He suddenly turned his head, stared intently at Ye Liuyun who was yawning, and took a step forward, blocking the other's path.
"Ye Liuyun."
Dai Mubai's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of ruthlessness:
"I refuse to accept this."
"I was careless yesterday and fell for your strange soul skill. But a soul master doesn't just rely on soul skills; the body is the foundation."
"I am the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, a top-tier beast martial soul. In terms of physical attributes, I absolutely crush you, a plant-type!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the bamboo basket next to him filled with stones and said provocatively:
"Do you dare to have a match with me?"
"Let's have a weighted cross-country race! Let's see who finishes twenty laps first! The loser has to say 'I'm a piece of trash' three times in front of the whole school!"
The place fell silent upon hearing this.
Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, both giving Boss Dai a thumbs up in their hearts.
That was a brilliant move! Bypassing Ye Liuyun's bizarre control skills, it directly pitted them against each other's physical strength—that was the absolute domain of a beast martial soul!
Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Good.
Knowing how to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.
As long as he could physically surpass Ye Liuyun, he could prove his theory.
Plant-based was still plant-based; physical weakness was an inherent disadvantage.
Therefore, plant-type martial souls needed to absorb beast-type soul beasts to increase their strength in other aspects.
That was how it was with Little San; from his first spirit ring onwards, he had always absorbed spirit rings from beast-type spirit beasts.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang not only did not stop it, but instead added fuel to the fire:
"A very good suggestion."
"Healthy competition can promote the progress of the team. Ye Liuyun, since Mu Bai has issued a challenge, as a man, you should accept it."
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Ye Liuyun was dumbfounded. Was this all they had arranged for him?
This was like saying that not refusing to fight meant you weren't a man. What kind of logic was that?
Besides, did Yu Xiaogang still not understand the characteristics of his strength?
His fighting style was characterized by endurance; his strength lay in his continuous and relentless attacks.
If it was a short-distance sprint or a burst of speed, Dai Mubai might have a chance of winning.
However, if the distance was too long, he could outrun Dai Mubai by constantly replenishing his soul power.
However, Ye Liuyun was too lazy to get entangled with this gambler who was blinded by rage.
This kind of easy, one-sided domination gave him no sense of accomplishment, so he might as well save his energy.
"Boring."
Are you scared?
Seeing this, Dai Mubai thought he had found Ye Liuyun's weakness, and became even more arrogant, pressing closer and closer:
"If you're afraid to compete, then you're scared. Just admit defeat."
Ye Liuyun got goosebumps all over listening to this.
If you don't compete, it means you're afraid.
What kind of child was speaking?
But considering that Dai Mubai was only 15 years old, he couldn't be bothered to argue with the brat.
"Okay, okay."
Ye Liuyun waved his hand dismissively.
"Since you insist on running, then run."
"I'll do whatever you say, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai was overjoyed.
"Fine! You said it!"
Afraid that Ye Liuyun would change his mind, Dai Mubai, without saying a word, immediately picked up the heaviest bamboo basket and shouted to Yu Xiaogang:
"Master! Give the order!"
"Start!"
With a command from Yu Xiaogang.
Boom!
Dai Mubai was like a tiger unleashed from its cage, burning with vengeful fury and a desire to prove himself, and he charged out in a flash!
At that moment, he unleashed the fastest speed he had ever experienced.
The heavy bamboo basket felt as light as a feather on his back.
He wanted to use absolute speed to leave Ye Liuyun far behind, so that Ye Liuyun wouldn't even get a whiff of his exhaust fumes!
First lap... Second lap... Third lap...
Dai Mubai ran very fast, sweat pouring down his face, his eyes resolute.
He ignored everything else and just focused on running.
He was determined to beat Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun, carrying a bamboo basket, was keeping pace with the main group.
Beside him, Xiao Wu, also carrying a bamboo basket, chatted and laughed with him.
Ye Liuyun maintained a steady pace of movement.
He was so old that he didn't even know how many years he'd lived in both lifetimes combined.
It wasn't like competing with a child in running.
When this kid got mischievous, if he won the race, would he also want to compete in eating and sleeping?
He had no interest in dealing with such trivial matters.
"Ye Liuyun!!!"
Dai Mubai slowed down after getting lapped again.
"What are you doing?"
"We're in a match! A match!!!"
"Are you trying to humiliate me by being so slow?"
Ye Liuyun shook his head:
"No, I can't outrun you."
Dai Mubai smiled unconsciously.
"So you're admitting you're inferior to me?"
Ye Liuyun nodded and said:
"I lost, I admit I'm not as good as you."
Dai Mubai pointed at Ye Liuyun, his finger trembling violently, a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to come up or go down.
To say he won was an understatement; his opponent clearly lost.
But he couldn't feel the joy of winning.
"You're clearly not taking this seriously."
Ye Liuyun explained in a very serious manner.
"I'm just a plant-type Blue Silver Grass, how could I possibly outrun you?"
"Do you expect me to run myself ragged and lose to you before you're happy?"
Dai Mubai couldn't refute it after thinking about it; he genuinely felt that Ye Liuyun definitely couldn't outrun him.
If he were a plant-type Soul Master, he would also admit defeat.
"Since you lost, you should stay away from Zhu Zhuqing from now on."
Ye Liuyun frowned, not understanding what this matter had to do with Zhu Zhuqing.
He didn't understand what Dai Mubai was saying?
"You!"
Dai Mubai was furious; he had witnessed the two of them having a secret rendezvous last night.
What else could a man and a woman be doing together late at night?
Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun was still pretending to be stupid.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silently running to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She stopped, her usually cold eyes burning with fury as she stared intently at Dai Mubai:
"Dai Mubai! What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Who I associate with is none of your business! What right do you have to restrict my freedom?"
"On what grounds?"
When Dai Mubai heard that Zhu Zhuqing was actually siding with outsiders, the string in his heart snapped completely.
He looked around and saw Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and even Yu Xiaogang walking over with a serious expression.
In order to salvage his crumbling dignity and to assert his ownership of this woman.
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, and spoke so loudly that it could almost echo throughout the entire village:
"Because you're my fiancée!"
"Because you're my woman!"
These words caused an uproar in the group.
"Holy crap?!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened, and his jaw was so agape it looked like it was about to dislocate.
"Fiancée? Zhu Zhuqing is Boss Dai's fiancée?"
Oscar was also shocked, then put on an ambiguous smile and egged them on:
"Oh! It's my sister-in-law!"
"No wonder Boss Dai was so nervous, turns out the young couple had a tiff! Hahahaha!"
"Boss Dai is awesome! His domineering CEO style is amazing!"
The cheers and jeers around him gave Dai Mubai a false sense of confidence.
He raised his chin, looking at Zhu Zhuqing, as if to say:
See? Everyone knows you're mine, and you can't escape.
