Tang San watched as his older brother, Tang Yin, prepared to spar with Dai Mubai. Curious about his brother's current strength, he did not intervene.
On the sidelines, Flander, Zhao Wuji, Yu Xiaogang, and Qin Ming noticed that Tang Yin and Dai Mubai had stepped onto the battle platform and turned their attention to them.
Meanwhile, the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, including Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, who had been practicing, paused to watch the impending match. Oscar and Ma Hongjun also looked on with eager expressions.
Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms, accentuating her figure, and focused intently on Tang Yin on the battle platform. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu stood beside Tang San, with A Yin nearby, all equally anticipating the duel between Tang Yin and Dai Mubai.
On the battle platform, Dai Mubai smiled at Tang Yin. "Dai Mubai, martial soul: White Tiger, level 38, three-ring Soul Master." As he spoke, he cracked his knuckles and assumed a fighting stance, his White Tiger martial soul shimmering behind him, with three soul rings of yellow, yellow, and purple swirling around him. He was ready to attack at any moment.
"Tang Yin, martial soul: Green Light, three-ring Soul Master." Tang Yin did not disclose his exact level and made a gesture indicating that Dai Mubai could begin his attack.
Dai Mubai's expression shifted slightly; Tang Yin's demeanor suggested that if he didn't attack quickly, he might be defeated instantly.
What irritated Dai Mubai further was that Tang Yin had not even released his soul rings, implying he did not intend to use soul skills in their battle, which felt like a slight to him.
Dai Mubai, already known for his temper, felt a surge of anger. He glared at Tang Yin and scoffed, "Since you are so arrogant, don't blame me if I leave you searching for your teeth later."
Tang Yin replied calmly, "Don't worry; you won't have that chance. And just a friendly reminder, if you don't attack with all your strength, you might be taken out in an instant."
"Such arrogance," Yu Tianheng of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy remarked, having heard Tang Yin's words. He was well aware of Dai Mubai's strength and found it hard to believe that someone much younger could claim to defeat him so easily. However, Dugu Yan, who had fought against Tang Yin, remained silent, knowing just how powerful he was and that he might indeed be capable of defeating Dai Mubai in an instant.
"Third brother, is your older brother always like this?" Ma Hongjun asked Tang San, unable to contain his curiosity.
He had intended to call Tang Yin arrogant but thought better of it, considering he was Tang San's brother. Tang San shook his head with a wry smile; he was unsure of what had changed in his brother after six years apart and decided to observe quietly.
"Such a cocky kid; I want to see how he plans to defeat Mubai," Zhao Wuji said, arms crossed, watching the platform with interest.
As Dai Mubai's teacher, he knew how formidable Dai Mubai was, and he doubted anyone at the same level could defeat him so easily. Flander and Yu Xiaogang exchanged knowing smiles, dismissing Tang Yin's claims. Yu Xiaogang, a theoretical master in the soul master community, found it hard to believe that Tang Yin could defeat Dai Mubai, who had the best soul ring configuration and a top-tier martial soul.
"Just watch; it won't be long before he is defeated by Mubai. I want to see the expression on that kid's face then," Yu Xiaogang said confidently.
On the platform, Dai Mubai's aura intensified as he focused on Tang Yin, sneering internally. 'If you think you can defeat me instantly, let's see if you have the strength for it. Who defeats whom is still uncertain.'
"White Tiger, Possession!" A powerful pale light erupted from Dai Mubai, his arms stretching out as his chest puffed up. His muscles bulged, and his clothes strained against his form. His golden hair transformed into a mix of black and white, with the white dominating. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead, forming a character for "king." His hands grew significantly larger, covered in white fur, and sharp claws extended from his fingertips, glinting ominously.
Dai Mubai's body swelled further, his muscles exaggeratedly pronounced, and his upper clothing burst apart, revealing a terrifying physique. Black stripes appeared on his skin, resembling a tiger's pelt. He leaned forward, his eyes turning a deep blue, exuding an aura of a killing machine. His third purple soul ring began to flicker.
"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Diamond Transformation." As he chanted, his tiger paws grew even larger, the blades extending from them turning a bright silver. He was enveloped in a strong golden light, as if he were gilded. His blood-red eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light, radiating the dominance of the king of beasts. At this moment, he was prepared to unleash his strongest move to defeat Tang Yin in one blow.
Outside the platform, Tang San felt a twinge of worry as he saw Dai Mubai unleash his full power. Zhao Wuji remained relaxed, arms crossed, while the rest of the Heaven Dou Royal Team, except for Dugu Yan, watched with anticipation. Ah Yin, as Tang Yin's adoptive mother, was unfazed, knowing her son's strength and feeling a hint of pity for Dai Mubai, who would likely be defeated instantly.
Zhu Zhuqing observed the platform intently, not focusing on Dai Mubai but on Tang Yin. She had witnessed his incredible speed during training and wanted to see his movements clearly. Xiao Wu, as Tang Yin's sister-in-law, was equally intrigued.
As the battle commenced, Dai Mubai let out a roar and charged at Tang Yin, his claws glinting with cold light, intent on tearing him apart in an instant.
Tang Yin watched as Dai Mubai approached, the distance between them ten meters. For Dai Mubai, it would take two seconds to cover that distance, but for Tang Yin, it would take less than a second.
In an instant, he vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Dai Mubai, who had only covered four meters. With a simple punch, Tang Yin unleashed tremendous power, striking Dai Mubai's back.
"Where did he go?" Dai Mubai, suddenly realizing his target had vanished, looked around in confusion. But before he could react, a loud crash echoed as Tang Yin's punch connected with his back. Dai Mubai's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression contorting in pain as he was sent flying forward.
With a thunderous crash, Dai Mubai landed heavily off the platform, the pain rendering him unable to resist.
"What..." Ma Hongjun and Oscar, watching from the sidelines, were left in shock, their faces pale with disbelief. Zhao Wuji, who had been watching with amusement, dropped his arms and stared wide-eyed at Dai Mubai, who lay incapacitated on the ground.
Yu Xiaogang and Flander, who had been discussing how long it would take Dai Mubai to defeat Tang Yin, jumped to their feet in shock. "How is this possible?" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed, unable to accept that his assumptions had been shattered in an instant.
The Tiandou Royal Team members, including Yu Tianheng, were equally stunned, unable to comprehend how Dai Mubai had been unable to withstand a single attack from Tang Yin.
"Such speed! He appeared behind Dai Mubai in an instant. Although it seemed effortless, the power was immense," Zhu Zhuqing noted, still in shock. She had barely caught a glimpse of Tang Yin's movements and found his efficiency in attack something she aspired to learn.
Ah Yin smiled as she watched her son achieve victory over Dai Mubai. Tang San looked at his brother Tang Yin as if seeing him for the first time.
As everyone began to process what had just happened, Ma Hongjun rushed over to help Dai Mubai up. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked.
"Ugh... that hurt... Fatty, can you be gentler?" Dai Mubai groaned as he was assisted.
"Sorry! Oscar, hurry and bring your healing sausage for Boss Dai!" Ma Hongjun called out. Oscar quickly retrieved his healing sausage and handed it to Dai Mubai.
After consuming the sausage, Dai Mubai's injuries healed quickly, as Tang Yin had only intended to incapacitate him without causing serious harm.
On the platform, Tang Yin approached Dai Mubai with a slight smile, bowing politely as he had done with his adoptive father, Tang Hao. "I apologize; I may have used a bit too much strength and caused you to lose your ability to resist and fall off the platform."
Dai Mubai's expression darkened further at Tang Yin's words.
