Dai Mubai, who loves fighting spirit

Chapter 9 Dai Mubai, who loves fighting spirit

"Oh? May I ask which friend has offered such guidance?"

Zhong Li turned around, his face still gentle, and asked.

Opposite Zhong Li was a tall, handsome, blond man who had just achieved three consecutive victories on the Soul Arena not long ago; the blond man's evil eyes scrutinized Zhong Li, with an undisguised look of contempt and disdain in them.

Half a step away from the blond man was the bearded boy with peach blossom eyes, his eyes filled with resentment and coldness.

"Dai Mubai! What are you doing?"

Ning Rongrong's expression changed instantly, and she said. As she spoke, she tried to wink at Dai Mubai, but Dai Mubai acted as if he didn't see it.

"I, Dai Mubai, despise people like you the most. You're all so arrogant offstage, yet you're too cowardly to go up and compete like a man. Understand? If you're too scared to go on stage, then shut up and don't talk nonsense. You'd better stay away from women. Judging by your bright clothes, which family's young master are you?"

Dai Mubai spoke disdainfully, giving Zhong Li a thumbs-up before abruptly turning it downwards. In his eyes, anyone with guts wouldn't tolerate such humiliation. Then, he could teach this guy a lesson, showing Ning Rongrong that he was nothing but a good-for-nothing with no substance.

Hmm? The woman next to him.

When Dai Mubai inadvertently caught a glimpse of the figure beside Zhong Li, he was instantly captivated. To be honest, he had never seen such a beautiful woman before; such exquisite beauty, such aloof and cold temperament. Even Zhu Zhuqing paled in comparison. And the mediocre women he had been with were far, far inferior.

A surge of jealousy rose in Dai Mubai's chest once more. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhongli again. If before, he had provoked Zhongli simply to stand up for his brother, now he genuinely wanted to teach this outwardly handsome young master a lesson.

Damn it; why are women like that all surrounding such a coward? So what if he's handsome? Compared to him, what are all the women I've dated before?

What he didn't notice was that Ying's expression had turned icy cold.

Normally, Ying and Zhongli, being beings of such stature, wouldn't care about such insignificant figures; however, even an ant that keeps jumping around can be a bit annoying.

"Dai Mubai, that's enough!"

Ning Rongrong stepped forward and stood in front of Zhong Li, her face cold as she looked at Dai Mubai, her hands trembling slightly.

She couldn't understand what had gotten into Dai Mubai that made him target her old friend from Tiandou City like this. Was it because Dai Mubai was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and he already knew Zhongli and Ying's identities?

However, in Zhongli's words, from a general rational point of view...

You're a prince who fled to Soto City like a stray dog, and you immediately unleash your full firepower on the powerful prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who is very likely to be the future crown prince. Are you sure you're not out of your mind? Do you think you're a "war tiger"?

"Rongrong!"

At this moment, the bearded boy finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a low growl.

"Are you really willing to make things difficult for our own Shrek brothers just to protect this outsider? Is this person... is he really that important to you?"

At this point, the boy's peach blossom eyes reddened slightly, and his voice seemed to carry endless pressure and questioning.

"Outsider? What do you mean?"

Ning Rongrong glanced at the boy in surprise, pointed at herself, and then laughed in exasperation.

"Your words are strange. If Brother Ali is an outsider, then what are you? Could it be that you're my brothers, Ning Rongrong's own brothers? Oh dear, I really didn't know our Ning family had such outstanding young people like you!"

In an instant, Ning Rongrong's long-suppressed witch-like temper was once again stirred up. Hearing Ning Rongrong's sarcastic words, Oscar and Dai Mubai couldn't help but frown.

"alright!"

At this moment, Zhong Li suddenly spoke. His voice carried a faint air of authority, causing Dai Mubai and Oscar to involuntarily turn their gazes to him.

"Young master, since I've stated my unwillingness to participate in Soul Battles, I naturally have my reasons. But if you're so enthusiastic about Soul Battles and insist on coming to me, wouldn't I be a spoilsport if I didn't oblige?"

Zhong Li sighed softly and said. Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's face lit up with joy; a sinister light flashed in his blue eyes as he thought about how he would humiliate and ridicule this pretty boy on the Soul Battle Stage later.

Let Ning Rongrong and that purple-haired woman see what a real man is!

Zhong Li pondered for a moment, then looked at Dai Mubai and said, "How about this? If you enjoy Soul Battles, I happen to have a guest elder here; although he hasn't fought in Soul Battles for some years, he was quite a formidable opponent in his youth, leaving behind many legendary tales. He even told me the other day that he had some youthful fervor. Perfect! Today, I'll arrange for you two, one old and one young, to compete in the Soto City Grand Soul Battle Arena. It's a win-win situation. What do you think?"

After saying that, Zhong Li clapped his hands. An extremely cold feeling suddenly appeared in the hearts of Dai Mubai and Oscar, and the two of them couldn't help but shiver.

"Young man, since you enjoy spirit battles so much, then let this old man accompany you and have a good fight. Sigh, speaking of which, it's been twenty or thirty years since I last stepped onto the spirit arena. Ever since I became a Title Douluo, I haven't had the leisure for such pleasures! I hope you won't find my old bones too rusty."

Dai Mubai turned his head somewhat stiffly.

Suddenly, an old man in a green robe appeared behind him, his eyes, as green as a venomous snake, fixed on him. The old man had long gray hair that cascaded down his back, a slightly thin build, and a sinister look on his face, and he was watching him with a cold smile.

The next moment, rings of soul rings slowly rose from beneath the old man's feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

As the nine spirit rings slowly pulsed around the old man, it was as if even the air itself had frozen. Dai Mubai felt as if someone were choking him, making it hard to breathe, and his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

He is indeed a Title Douluo.

A titled Douluo has actually appeared in this small city of Soto, in the Soto City Great Soul Arena?

Moreover, this old monster even challenged me to a soul battle?

Dai Mubai was almost in tears.

The old monster's claim that he hadn't engaged in any spirit battles since becoming a Title Douluo was certainly true. After all, at the Title Douluo level, where would one find opponents of the same level to engage in spirit battles? It would take an incredibly boring person to do something like that.

However, for someone who hasn't been on the Soul Battle Arena for decades, or even if they've never fought a soul battle in their entire life, crushing Dai Mubai would be no different from crushing a tiny fly.

And you told me not to look down on you, old man. No, no, no, I'll kneel down before you, okay?

"thump!"

Dai Mubai truly knelt down. Under the gazes of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who had just arrived silently, he knelt before the gray-haired old man.

"Senior! I, Dai, have no idea where I have offended you. Who am I to dare, how could I possibly be worthy to fight against Your Majesty in a spirit battle! Please, in your magnanimity, just let this lowly person go!"

Dai Mubai kowtowed repeatedly as he spoke.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Oscar gritted his teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed.

"Senior, we were ignorant and offended someone we shouldn't have. I apologize to you!"

Even if Oscar were confused, he should understand now that the old man had intervened because of their provocation and insult of Zhongli. Dai Mubai's current predicament was all because of him! His heart was filled with remorse.

What he regretted was not his desire to eliminate the "hidden danger" around Ning Rongrong; on the contrary, this made him even more determined to think: what kind of good person could this scion of some unknown great soul master family be who only knows how to bully others?

What he regretted was that he didn't know the other party had a Title Douluo by his side, which led to his and Dai Mubai ending up in this situation.

But so what? Fortune changes every thirty years.

Oscar kowtowed repeatedly, secretly vowing revenge until his forehead turned red.

"senior!"

Just then, several middle-aged men finally arrived and stood in front of Dai Mubai.
