Chapter 2: The Soul Ring is Yellow and Purple, and Everyone is Stunned!
The level 21 Soul Master looked at Dai Mubai, and without even daring to release his Martial Soul, he dragged his father away in a sorry state.
Su Bai was secretly pleased.
Isn't this like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep?
I was just worried about not having a chance to show my skills, and here comes the opportunity.
What Su Bai wants is not just to pass the assessment.
He wanted to attract the attention of Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing in the most shocking way possible.
Seeing that no one dared to accept the challenge, Dai Mubai showed a hint of disdain on his face.
"Since no one is here, let's continue to register."
"I'll do it."
A clear and powerful voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Su Bai, who was standing in the middle of the line, slowly walked out.
He walked directly up to Dai Mubai.
"I'll fight you."
As soon as Su Bai stepped forward, he immediately became the focus of the entire room.
"Who's this kid? He doesn't look very old, yet he dares to challenge that blond guy?"
"Are you crazy? Didn't you see that even the level 21 student ran away in fear?"
"He's quite handsome, but unfortunately he's a hothead."
Whispers arose from the crowd.
Tang San was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the man he cared about to suddenly step forward.
He wanted to see what gave this person such confidence.
Xiao Wu was somewhat worried. Although she could sense that Su Bai had a noble bloodline, she did not know his specific strength.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also turned their attention to them.
Dai Mubai sized up Su Bai. Su Bai was over 1.8 meters tall, half a head taller than him, with a well-proportioned and powerful physique, not at all like a twelve-year-old boy.
"Are you sure? I won't go easy on you just because you're young." Dai Mubai sneered.
"Enough with the nonsense." Su Bai sounded impatient. "If I beat you, will I be exempt from all the tests and be admitted directly?"
Dai Mubai was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, that's hilarious! This is the funniest joke I've heard all year."
Li Yusong, the admissions officer next to Dai Mubai, also frowned, feeling that the boy was too arrogant.
"Young people, don't be too ambitious."
Dai Mubai is a level 37 Battle Soul Master, one of the most outstanding students in our academy.
Su Bai ignored Li Yusong's advice and just looked at Dai Mubai.
"Do you dare to bet?"
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Dai Mubai's arrogance was provoked.
"If you can beat me, not only will you be exempt from the test, but you'll also be the boss at Shrek Academy from now on, and I, Dai Mubai, will listen to you!"
"good."
Su Bai uttered a single word, then took a slight step back.
"bring it on."
"Arrogant!"
Dai Mubai roared and stopped suppressing his soul power.
"Martial Soul, White Tiger, Possession!"
He let out a tiger's roar, his body instantly swelled, his muscles bulged, golden fur sprouted from under his skin, and his hands transformed into sharp tiger claws.
Two yellow and one purple spirit rings rose from his feet, pulsating around his body.
A powerful sense of oppression spread out instantly.
Some of the applicants at the front of the line were even pressured by this momentum and had to back away.
"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Level 37 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Venerable."
Dai Mubai announced his name.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Su Bai's reaction.
In their view, this boy was about to pay the price for his arrogance.
However, Su Bai showed no fear on his face.
Su Bai lightly stomped her foot.
"Martial Soul, Qilin".
The moment the words fell.
An aura far more majestic and sacred than Dai Mubai's white tiger erupted from Su Bai's body.
A golden phantom of a Qilin flashed past behind him.
Immediately afterwards, three spirit rings appeared beneath his feet.
The first spirit ring is a standard century-old yellow.
When the second spirit ring appeared, a collective gasp filled the arena.
Purple!
Millennium Soul Ring!
Dai Mubai's smile froze.
Li Yusong's pupils suddenly contracted.
Tang San's expression also turned serious. The second ring was a thousand years, which was beyond his comprehension.
"Didn't the teacher say... that the maximum lifespan of the second spirit ring is 764 years?"
The third spirit ring followed closely behind. Its deep purple hue was even more intense than that of the second spirit ring.
Another thousand-year soul ring!
Yellow, purple, purple!
A deathly silence fell over the entire entrance to Shrek Academy.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the three spirit rings beneath Su Bai's feet.
What kind of monster configuration is this?
A twelve-year-old boy with three spirit rings is already a genius among geniuses.
But his second soul skill is actually at the thousand-year level!
This can't be described as genius anymore, this is simply monstrous!
Li Yusong rubbed his eyes, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.
He had been teaching for decades and had seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such an outrageous soul ring ratio.
Tang San's hands had unconsciously clenched into fists.
He believed that he possessed twin martial souls, giving him an advantage over ordinary people. However, upon seeing Su Bai's soul ring configuration, Tang San's resolve wavered.
Tang San's doubts didn't stem from his own talent, but rather from his unwavering belief in the theory itself.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were deeply shaken.
The auspicious aura they sensed became incredibly strong the moment Su Bai released his martial spirit.
Xiao Wu, in particular, felt her blood rushing through her veins, and she felt an urge to worship.
Dai Mubai, standing opposite Su Bai, had the most direct experience of what Su Bai was like.
The moment Su Bai released the Qilin Martial Soul, the White Tiger Martial Soul that he possessed actually trembled.
It was a fear and suppression that came from the depths of his bloodline, and his soul power became sluggish.
"This...this is impossible..."
Dai Mubai's voice was dry and hoarse, and the arrogance on his face vanished, replaced by deep shock.
"Su Bai, Martial Soul Qilin, Level 35 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Venerable."
Su Bai's calm voice rang out in the silent space, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
A twelve-year-old Soul Master at level thirty-five!
Cold sweat beaded on Dai Mubai's forehead.
Although he was two levels higher than Su Bai, the opponent's incredible soul ring configuration and absolute suppression in martial soul completely eroded his confidence from before the battle.
"What? Scared?" Su Bai's voice rang out again.
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth. He was Dai Mubai, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, a prince of the Star Luo Empire. Dai Mubai also had his own pride.
Can't beat Davis, but can't beat anyone else?
"Afraid? What a joke!"
Dai Mubai forcibly suppressed the trembling of his martial soul and roared out.
"It's just a spirit ring to bluff! Take this!"
"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"
This is his first soul skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier! It combines offense and defense!
Dai Mubai launched the first attack, his body transforming into a white lightning bolt as he rushed straight towards Su Bai.
