The speaker was none other than Flander, the four-eyed owl and dean of Shrek Academy.
He was standing not far from Shrek Academy when he saw this scene and became curious to see how capable this young man, who had cultivated to level twenty-nine at such a young age despite having a flawed Fire Seed Martial Soul, really was.
As for whether he can break through the limitations of his martial soul and cultivate to a higher level after a real fight, that depends on his fate. After all, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is famous throughout the continent, cannot break through the limitations of its own martial soul, let alone a common fire seed martial soul.
It's not that Dai Mubai was rude; in their eyes, what could a Fire Seed Martial Soul do?
Do you light a fire to cook?
Don't laugh your head off, so no one stopped the student from saying that he could abolish his martial soul.
"I really don't know where your arrogance comes from? If Dai Mubai hadn't read the original novel, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that you're all bark and no bite right now."
"Unfortunately, your behavior in front of me is disgusting."
Jiang Xuan adjusted his breathing, making it easier for Dai Mubai to move to another, more spacious square under the watchful eye of the four-eyed cat owl.
Shrek Academy is already struggling financially, and it would be bad if they broke the school gate.
Dai Mubai was already feeling frustrated after his previous encounter with Tang San, and he was looking for a place to vent his anger, so he decided to take it out on this arrogant brat.
He shouted, "White Tiger, possess me!"
"Kid, remember this: Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 37 Battle Soul Venerable."
A burst of intense pale white light erupted from his body. Dai Mubai stretched his arms out to the sides, his chest puffed out, his bones cracked and popped, and his muscles bulged, stretching his already taut shirt as if it were about to burst. Every muscle became extremely visible beneath his clothes, and the air around him seemed to become turbulent under the influence of his martial spirit.
His once golden hair instantly turned into a mix of black and white, with white making up the majority and a few strands of black hair standing out prominently. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the Chinese character for "king".
When possessed by a beast spirit like the White Tiger or the Netherworld Cat, the hands undergo the most dramatic transformation, more than doubling in size. White fur covers the entire palm, and with each flick of the fingers, short, dagger-like claws constantly extend and retract from the hands. Each claw is like a blade, a full eight inches long, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light.
In comparison, Jiang Xuan's martial soul possession was much more low-key, without any flashy physical changes. As an elemental martial soul, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, although in an unawakened state, was still a type of weapon martial soul and would not bring much change to the body.
The moment the two spirit rings appeared, unlike the harmless lotus flames from before, a wave of intense heat washed over them.
"Is this really a flawed martial soul?"
The people standing aside thought to themselves, constantly comparing it with the fire-attribute martial souls they knew in their minds, and found that even those fire-attribute soul masters who had reached the Soul King level did not feel as intense a burning sensation as the "useless martial soul" before them.
It should be noted that determining the strength of elemental martial souls such as fire and ice is actually much simpler than other types of martial souls. The moment an elemental martial soul is infused with soul power and possesses the body, its violent elemental energy can change the surrounding environment.
The young man named Jiang Xuan before them undoubtedly possessed a superior martial soul, leading several students to question the conclusion reached by Teacher Li of Shrek Academy.
"Good lad, looks like I made the right appearance. Has your Fire Seed Martial Soul mutated?"
Flander's small eyes revealed a barely perceptible glint. The reason he appeared in advance as the dean was just as the boy had said. Couldn't the fact that a flawed martial soul could cultivate to level 29 at the age of twelve prove something?
Regardless of the outcome, all he needs to do is admit this young man exceptionally. It doesn't matter if he can't break through level 50 in the future. Just looking at his attribute energy level between 49 and 50, he's probably one of the best. If he finds a way to break through the shackles, wouldn't that add even more honor to his Shrek Academy?
Hey, as a businessman, isn't this a sure-fire way to make money?
"Let's fight!"
"Whoosh~"
On the field, Dai Mubai, who had the advantage, launched the first attack. The burning pain that came his way made him realize that the "useless" martial soul in front of him was not as simple as it seemed. The best way to deal with elemental martial souls and beast martial souls is naturally the same as the way to deal with weapon martial souls. He only needs to fight in close combat to be able to win.
The White Tiger Martial Soul not only brought Dai Mubai powerful attack power, but also enhanced his defense, stamina and speed. With a sudden push of his feet, he instantly arrived in front of Jiang Xuan, his right hand poised to strike down.
The sharp tiger claws on those hands suggest that if they were to strike hard, the frail body of a weapon-wielding soul master would certainly not be able to withstand it.
However, is Jiang Xuan the kind of Soul Master who only knows how to rely on his Martial Soul?
The answer is no.
Faced with Dai Mubai's preemptive attack, Jiang Xuan merely turned slightly to the side, using the burst of flame energy from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to propel his body away from Dai Mubai's attack range.
"Such a quick reaction!"
The crowd gasped in surprise.
Despite Dai Mubai's already fast attack speed as a Soul Master, Jiang Xuan, who possessed a Weapon Martial Soul, was always able to react the instant the attack arrived. In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen moves.
Although it seems that Dai Mubai has gained the upper hand with his frequent attacks, it should be noted that one of them is a three-ring Soul Master with a Beast Martial Soul body, while the other is only a level 29 Great Soul Master.
Tang San was shocked. Could it be that the other party had also cultivated some kind of special movement technique?
Judging from the movements, it doesn't seem like they have any special skills.
Zhu Zhuqing was the most attentive person to the fight between the two, second only to Tang San.
"Is this all the descendants of that family called White Tiger are capable of?"
At level 37, Dai Mubai struggled against a level 29 beast spirit versus a weapon spirit, a match that was previously dominated by level 70. How could he possibly contend with his genius older brother in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing, who had a graceful figure and a maturity beyond her years, dimmed her eyes again. From making up her mind to come here to find her future to being utterly disappointed, it had only taken a few short days.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai, who was in the midst of the battle, felt as if something belonging to him had inexplicably disappeared. After several failed attempts to touch his opponent during the ensuing struggle, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Moreover, there seemed to be a sense of unreality from the beginning, though I don't know if it was just my imagination.
"Is all you can do is hide and run away?"
"Hey, you're really something. A melee beast spirit master is asking me, a weapon spirit user, why I'm dodging? What, do you think it's only a matter of skill if we clash head-on and test our soul power?"
Jiang Xuan spoke in a relaxed tone and could even tease the big cat, showing that she still had some energy left.
