Chapter 74: The Furious Immortal Master, Dai Mubai's Mentality Collapse, Sent Off to Be a Turtle Pimp!
On top of the beating he had already taken on the way here, Dai Mubai now lay sprawled in a muddy pit like a dead dog. Even moving a finger felt extremely difficult.
"Pain… it hurts so much."
Dai Mubai bared his teeth as he slowly lifted his head. Through his blurry vision, he happened to hear the fat Immortal Master's words.
"Pri… Primordial Immortal Court?!"
These four words were like a shot of adrenaline injected straight into his body. The body that had looked like a dead dog suddenly began to struggle slightly.
He widened his heterochromatic eyes and stared fixedly at the two figures in midair.
"That's a subordinate sect of the Primordial Immortal Court?"
"An opportunity. This is a heaven-sent opportunity!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai was overjoyed. In his mind, a perfect blueprint for a counterattack had already taken shape.
Zhu Zhuqing, that bitch, had only gone to the Immortal Court as a mere servant because of her Hell Spirit Cat martial soul, yet her life had completely changed overnight.
But he possessed the dignified White Tiger martial soul, far stronger and nobler than that.
As long as he could attract the attention of these two Immortal Masters, then with the top-tier talent of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, they would surely be astonished!
After that, he would be taken back to the sect for focused training. Perhaps it would even shock the upper sects of the Immortal Domain, prompting the Immortal Lord of the Primordial Immortal Court to descend personally, take him as a disciple, and bring him into the Immortal Court.
And at that time…
Forget Zhu Zhuqing.
Even the heaven-favored daughters of this entire world would kneel beneath him.
"Hmph, Zhu Zhuqing. Since you refused to listen, I'll use my strength to tell you that in this life you'll never escape the grasp of my tiger claw!"
Thinking this, Dai Mubai somehow found strength from who knew where. Under the terrifying gravity pressure, he dug his fingers into the cracks between the floor tiles and began crawling toward the center of the square like a maggot.
Meanwhile, after accepting several gifts presented by the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire, the two Immortal Masters from the Qingyun Sect grew increasingly satisfied.
"Mm, not bad."
"You've cultivated three talents for our Qingyun Sect. You've done well."
After the fat Immortal Master spoke, he returned to a serious expression and exchanged a glance with the thin Immortal Master beside him.
"By the way, within the Great Qian Empire, all children who meet the conditions have already been tested, correct? None were missed?"
Just before leaving, the thin Immortal Master casually asked to make sure.
Hearing this, the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire quickly replied,
"Reporting to the Immortal Masters, a total of 336 qualified children from all prefectures and counties have been tested. None were omitted."
Upon hearing this, the two Immortal Masters glanced at each other and prepared to depart.
"In that case, the two of us will return to report."
"W-wait…"
"Th-there's still me…"
Just as the two Immortal Masters waved their sleeves, preparing to sweep up the three children and leave on flying swords, and as the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire was about to rise and respectfully send them off, a voice suddenly rang out from somewhere.
"Do the Immortal Masters intend to miss a genius?!"
Everyone was startled and turned to look.
They saw a strange man covered in mud and blood lying on the ground. He struggled to raise his head, staring at the fat and thin Immortal Masters in the sky with his bizarre red and blue eyes.
"I haven't been tested yet! You can't leave!"
"If you do, it will be a huge loss for the Qingyun Sect and even the Primordial Immortal Court!"
Seeing this filthy stranger suddenly appear, the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire's expression changed drastically.
"Where did this beggar come from, daring to disturb the Immortal Masters?"
"Guards! Drag him away and execute him!"
"Wait."
The thin Immortal Master raised his hand to stop the imperial guards.
He frowned as he looked at Dai Mubai lying on the ground, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"You say you're a genius?"
"That's right!"
When Dai Mubai saw the Immortal Master looking at him, he immediately felt hope.
Taking a deep breath and enduring the intense pain, he decided to hold nothing back and impress them properly.
"White Tiger, possess me!!!"
"Roar!"
With Dai Mubai's roar, a weak tiger's howl echoed out. A flash of white light followed, and the muscles across his body instantly bulged.
Black-and-white fur spread across his body, the character "King" appeared on his forehead, and his hands transformed into tiger claws.
Two yellow and two purple soul rings—four in total—floated beneath his feet. Though suppressed by the gravity and somewhat dim, they still pulsed faintly.
"Do you see that!"
After revealing the White Tiger martial soul, Dai Mubai looked extremely proud. Even though the gravity still forced him to remain hunched over, his chin remained arrogantly raised.
"This is the White Tiger, a top-tier power attack-type beast martial soul!"
"And not only that, I already have four soul rings!"
After speaking, Dai Mubai looked at the two Immortal Masters with anticipation, waiting for them to show shock, excitement, and eagerness to recruit him into their sect.
However, one second passed.
Then two seconds.
Neither Immortal Master showed any expression.
After quite a while, their faces finally twitched slightly.
Not with excitement.
Instead, they looked as if they had just eaten something disgusting.
"What… what kind of thing is this?"
The fat Immortal Master covered his nose and waved his hand in disgust, as if shooing away something filthy.
"Neither human nor demon."
"And this is the genius you're talking about?"
The thin Immortal Master let out a cold laugh, instantly seeing through Dai Mubai's essence.
"Your body is filled with impurities, your meridians are as fragile as paper, and your qi and blood are laughably unstable."
"As for those so-called soul rings, they're nothing more than low-level beast souls forcibly sealed inside your body through external means."
"Not only have they polluted your bloodline, but they've also severed the very foundation of your path to the Great Dao."
"This cultivation method is pure heresy. Absolute trash among trash!
"With such garbage, you're not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the spirit beasts guarding the gate of our Qingyun Sect!"
"And yet you dare call yourself a genius and invoke the name of the upper sect. How laughable."
At the end of his speech, the thin Immortal Master immediately turned to the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire below, his expression dark as water.
"Zhao Chun! Are you toying with me?"
"You bring such a filthy thing here to stain my eyes?"
"Do you no longer wish to sit on your throne?"
The Emperor of the Great Qian Empire was completely confused by the situation. Still, he was so frightened by the sudden change that he collapsed to his knees and began kowtowing frantically.
"Immortal Masters, please calm your anger!"
"I don't even know this person! He's not from within my Great Qian Empire at all. Please see clearly, Immortal Masters!"
"Hmph. How unlucky."
"If there's a next time, you will be executed without mercy."
With that, the two Immortal Masters snorted coldly. With a wave of their sleeves, they no longer even glanced at Dai Mubai. They swept up the three children and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
"No! Don't go! Don't leave!"
"I'm the Evil-Eyed White Tiger! I'm a prince! Are you blind?!"
