"Sister Zhuqing is right."
"You are the White Emperor of Heaven, the man destined to rule the world."
"Dai Mubai from that world is nothing but a lump of mud; he doesn't deserve to share your name."
At this point, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and a hint of infatuation appeared in her gaze as she looked at Dai Mubai:
"When I saw that scene just now, I even thought, what if you became like that..."
"impossible."
Dai Mubai interrupted her, his tone calm yet exuding a powerful confidence.
He released his hands and pinched the two women's smooth cheeks one by one; they were warm to the touch and felt wonderful.
"I am who I am because I know what I want."
"That good-for-nothing chose to live on his knees, while I choose to die standing, or... stand and make everyone kneel down."
These words sound arrogant, but to the two women present, they were perfectly natural.
A faint blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool face.
She stopped resisting and obediently leaned on Dai Mubai's shoulder, the clean scent unique to this man lingering around her nose—the scent of sunshine and strength, so different from the vain, alcohol-smelling good-for-nothing in the sky.
"You're not allowed to look at that good-for-nothing anymore, he's an eyesore."
Zhu Zhuqing muttered something under her breath.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai slowly slid his hand down her slender waist and gently patted her stunning curves.
"Alright, I'll do as my beloved consort says."
"However, the best is yet to come; the comparison isn't over yet."
"We need to watch how he gradually debases himself to the dust."
...
It seems to be to confirm Dai Mubai's words.
The scene above the sky did not stop because of Dai Mubai's shame in the underworld.
The images flow.
Instead of the dimly lit Rose Hotel, we were transported to a dilapidated village.
Above the archway made of rotten wood at the entrance of the village, a crooked plaque hangs—Shrek Academy.
Despite bearing the name of an academy, its dilapidated state was even worse than that of a refugee camp in the Star Luo Empire.
At this time, Shrek Academy was recruiting students.
Dai Mubai, the so-called "Boss Dai" of the underworld, is responsible for maintaining order.
He changed his clothes and looked presentable, but the dark circles under his eyes and his unsteady gait told the world what kind of excessive indulgence he had experienced the night before.
Just then, a beautiful figure appeared in the crowd.
That was Zhu Zhuqing from the underworld.
She was dressed in a tight black outfit, her expression indifferent, like a black rose blooming in the snow.
The moment Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing, his previously cloudy eyes instantly lit up.
"Zhu Qing!"
He shouted almost instinctively, a smile he thought was charming plastered on his face, and strode forward to meet him.
"You've come! I knew you'd come looking for me!"
Dai Mubai opened his arms, wanting to give the other person a hug.
However.
Zhu Zhuqing's reaction was like a bucket of ice water being poured over her head.
She shifted her body slightly to the side, her movements swift and decisive, directly avoiding Dai Mubai's touch.
In those beautiful eyes, there was no joy of reunion, only endless disappointment and disgust.
"Please have some self-respect."
The three cold words were uttered by Zhu Zhuqing.
She even took a half step back, as if Dai Mubai had some kind of filth on him that could be contagious.
"Your perfume smells terrible."
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression instantly froze in the video.
The hand, suspended in mid-air, hung awkwardly, unsure whether to retract it or release it.
The other students who came to register, as well as Mr. Li Yusong, the teacher in charge of registration, all cast strange glances at him.
That look was like looking at a clown.
...
Right now.
The Dark World, Xingluo Square.
The already furious crowd erupted in anger upon seeing this scene.
"How shameful! So shameful!"
"A young woman traveled a long way to see him, and he greeted her reeking of a brothel woman?"
"This is our prince? He's like a dog in heat!"
"I don't think he went there to cultivate; he went there to breed, didn't he?"
Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy.
In the real dark world, Dai Mubai looked at his reflection in the sky, publicly despised, and was completely numb.
He felt as if his face was being peeled off layer by layer and thrown on the ground to be stomped on.
Especially when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's disdainful look in the video, his heart ached as if it were being clenched.
At that time, he thought he had concealed it very well.
Little did he know, in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, he was already rotten to the core.
...
But that's not the most despairing thing.
The aerial footage continues to advance.
The Shrek Seven Devils have finally assembled.
Among this group, Dai Mubai is the oldest and has the highest soul power level, making him the nominal "boss" of this dilapidated academy.
Logically speaking, he should be the absolute core and the leader of this team.
However, what is shown in the picture is completely different.
That was a test battle against Zhao Wuji.
"Mu Bai, you're in charge of the flanks!"
The speaker was an ordinary-looking boy.
Tang San.
At this time, Tang San's soul power was only level 29, which was eight levels lower than Dai Mubai's!
Moreover, he is a control-type Soul Master.
But his tone was as if he were giving orders to a subordinate.
The most outrageous thing is that Dai Mubai, who is a level 37 Battle Soul Master, did not show the slightest dissatisfaction after hearing this order.
He nodded, and said with a look of conviction:
"Okay, I'll do as you say, Xiao Tang!"
Immediately afterwards, Dai Mubai activated his martial spirit and charged forward.
Then...
Bang!
A muffled thud.
He was slapped away by Zhao Wuji and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, covered in dust and unable to get up for a long time.
That one slap knocked him out of the game.
The ensuing battle turned into a one-man show by Tang San.
Tang San, at level 29, managed to hold his own against Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint at level 76, for quite some time by using those strange and unusual hidden weapons and his unpredictable footwork.
Although they ultimately lost, their brilliance and wisdom completely overshadowed everyone else's.
Especially Dai Mubai, who was lying on the ground as a backdrop.
The difference between the two is immediately apparent.
One is a genius who takes on challenges beyond his level and possesses extraordinary talent.
One was the highest-ranking but the first brute to be defeated.
After the battle.
Having already awakened, Dai Mubai clutched his chest, looking at Tang San with an expression of adoration:
"Xiao Tang, you're amazing! Even Teacher Zhao suffered at your hands!"
"From now on, I'll respect you as one of the Shrek Seven Devils!"
He spoke from the heart, without any falsehood.
But to onlookers, this is nothing short of a great irony.
You're the boss!
You are a prince!
You are the owner of the White Tiger Martial Soul!
You were commanded by someone with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul and a much lower soul power than you. You were the first to fall in a fight, and then you acted like a lapdog for them.
