Chapter 75: Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Entanglement!
As Dai Mubai sat down cross-legged, the thousand-year Soul Ring emitting a strange purple light was drawn in and suddenly contracted, settling onto his White Tiger Martial Soul which he was currently releasing.
'Oh, my foolish brother, what do you have to compete with me?"
'Just you wait, the position of Star Luo Crown Prince is mine, and my charming sister-in-law is mine too!"
These were Dai Mubai's last fleeting thoughts before absorbing the Soul Ring.
However, the comfortable feeling of power surging in that he had anticipated never appeared.
In just half the time it takes to steep tea, Dai Mubai, whose complexion was originally ruddy, suddenly turned completely ashen green.
"Ugh—Ah!!"
A piercing, miserable shriek abruptly shattered the silence of the forest.
Dai Mubai was seen trembling violently, large beads of cold sweat mixed with some indescribable substance seeping out of his pores crazily.
The Soul Power inside his body was rampaging through his Meridians, as if trying to corrode all his internal organs.
If one were to strictly explain this using proper Soul Master theory, it meant the Origin of his White Tiger Martial Soul was currently being violently destroyed.
The once majestic phantom of the White Tiger was now stained with a sickly dark green, and the tiger's roar became hoarse and low, sounding like a severely ill sick cat.
"Mubai!" Flender, who was nearby, was greatly alarmed and instinctively moved to check on him, "Xiaogang, what is going on? Why is absorbing a Soul Ring causing such a huge reaction?"
Dai Mubai's identity was, after all, a prince of the Star Luo Empire. If something truly happened to him while under the care of Shrek Academy, they would truly be unable to bear the retaliation from the Star Luo Imperial Family.
"What are you panicking about!"
Yu Xiaogang stopped Flender with one hand, his hands still clasped behind his back.
Although his face showed no panic, instead displaying an inscrutable expression of 'everything is under control, " his heart was actually in utter chaos.
It should, perhaps, probably not result in disaster, right?
Yu Xiaogang frantically comforted himself, and soon his flustered gaze was replaced by determination.
He was The Continents Number One Theory Master. How could Dai Mubai encounter problems after cultivating according to his invincible theory?
The current situation was merely a little bit of tribulation on the path to success!
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Dai Mubai who was in excruciating pain. The confusion and unease in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by the previous wise look. He shouted loudly,
"Mubai! Hold on! This is the sign that your Martial Soul is undergoing a complete transformation!"
Dai Mubai: Teacher, I feel like I'm about to die!
Yu Xiaogang: Nonsense! This is the poison from the Emerald Vine helping you temper your Physical Body, purging the miscellaneous Impurities of Soul Power within you!
"As the saying goes, when Heaven is about to confer a great office upon a man, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and strains his sinews with toil! If you want to obtain power far beyond ordinary people, you must endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear!"
"Every bit of pain you endure now is laying the foundation for your path to becoming a Titled Douluo! If you can't even endure this small amount of pain, what right do you have to talk about defeating Dai Weisi? What right to talk about inheriting the throne?!"
After being force-fed this string of inspirational chicken soup, Dai Mubai, who was on the verge of death, managed to stubbornly hold on.
Yu Xiaogang's previously solemn expression visibly brightened. He could not suppress the upward curve of his lips.
He knew his theory would not be wrong!
...
Time slowly passed, and finally, that purple thousand-year Soul Ring was embedded in Dai Mubai's third Soul Ring slot.
His Soul Power also broke through the Bottleneck, reaching level 31.
"Teacher, I don't know why, but after absorbing the Soul Ring, I feel very uncomfortable all over?"
After absorbing the Soul Ring and feeling his internal state, Dai Mubai voiced his doubts.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's heart, which had just settled down, rose again.
If such a perfect experimental subject were ruined by him, he would feel heartbroken for a long time.
"Mubai, tell me carefully where you feel uncomfortable?"
Dai Mubai closed his eyes to sense the situation inside him before slowly saying, "Teacher, if I absolutely have to describe it, I feel as if my Martial Soul is experiencing a feeling of repulsion after absorbing the third Soul Ring?"
Hearing that it was only this situation, Yu Xiaogang's hanging heart relaxed once more.
A mere repulsion between the Martial Soul and the Soul Ring—these were normal situations in his eyes.
Didn't his own Martial Soul, Luo San Pao, experience the same feeling after absorbing the Soul Ring he had meticulously prepared?
But in the end, didn't he still rely on his own 'effort' to become a strong Great Soul Master at the Peak?
"Mubai, the discomfort you feel is only because your Martial Soul has not yet adapted to the invincible theory proposed by This Master."
"Wait until you absorb a few more poison-attribute Soul Rings for your subsequent ones, and your Martial Soul will naturally undergo a different change."
"This current discomfort only means you need more time to settle things down."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang speak so decisively, Dai Mubai, who still had some doubts in his heart, let go of his own thoughts.
Master Yu was Pope Bibi Dong's old flame. The theoretical knowledge he possessed must have the endorsement of Spirit Hall. What kind of problems could arise?
Immediately after, Yu Xiaogang began to inquire about what Soul Skill Dai Mubai obtained this time.
Dai Mubai re-summoned his White Tiger Martial Soul, but what was different from before was that a touch of green now appeared above the White Tiger Martial Soul's head.
Not only that, but the entire surface of the Martial Soul also began to show green-black lines of varying sizes.
"Come, Mubai, use your third Soul Skill on that tree in front of you!"
"Let This Master see what effect your Soul Skill has!"
When Yu Xiaogang said this, his eyes were shining!
Whether his invincible theory could be verified depended on this move!
"Alright, Teacher!"
Even though Dai Mubai felt physical discomfort, he could not conceal his excitement.
He urged the Soul Power within his body and shouted,
"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Entanglement!"
????
Not only was Dai Mubai stunned, but the Shrek members watching curiously on the side were also stunned.
The White Tiger Martial Soul did not manifest as a Beast Martial Soul possession like before; instead, it eerily elongated and wrapped around the tree in front of him...
Immediately following this, a foul stench drifted across the scene, and a rustling sound indicating corrosion appeared on the surface of the tree.
Bad news: the Soul Skill was this abstract.
Good news: Dai Mubai's attacks now carried the poison attribute.
Everyone present at Shrek looked at the equally dumbfounded Yu Xiaogang with a strange gaze.
That look seemed to be asking him: Is this the Soul Ring he meticulously selected?
