Chapter 103: Desperate Dai Mubai
"Yanzi, don't destroy my confidence like that." Yu Tianheng smiled bitterly. "Of course, I know I can't beat Dai Weis with my current strength, but I believe one day I will surpass him."
"Ahem, you said you met Dai Weis a year ago, right?"
At this moment, Dai Mubai's voice came from nearby. Supported by Oscar and Ma Hongjun, he slowly walked toward Yu Tianheng, followed by Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong.
The current levels of the Shrek Six Monsters were:
Dai Mubai, spirit Evil Eye White Tiger, level 37 power attack system battle spirit master.
Oscar, spirit Sausage, level 31 food system spirit master.
Tang San, spirit Blue Silver Grass, level 31 control system spirit master.
Ma Hongjun, spirit Evil Fire Phoenix, level 28 power attack system spirit master.
Xiao Wu, spirit Soft Bone Rabbit, level 31 power attack system spirit master.
Ning Rongrong, spirit Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, level 27 auxiliary system spirit master.
"..."
Although he didn't know why Dai Mubai asked that, considering the fact that Dai Mubai's spirit was the Evil Eye White Tiger, Yu Tianheng guessed there had to be some connection between him and Dai Weis. So he nodded and answered truthfully.
"That's right, we met a year ago. That guy was really strong. Even now, I don't have the confidence to defeat the Dai Weis I met back then."
"What level was he at that time?"
Dugu Yan frowned. "Why are you asking this? Do you know him?"
"To be honest... that guy is my brother!"
"What? You're Dai Weis's younger brother?"
Yu Tianheng exclaimed and then examined Dai Mubai up and down. He had long suspected the two were related, but hadn't known if they were brothers or cousins. Now he knew.
"Tsk tsk... you really are brothers. One is more monstrous than the other. When I was your age, I wasn't even level 37!"
Yu Tianheng sighed. He was only a year or two younger than Dai Weis, and his spirit power was just at level 39. Yet Dai Mubai, only fifteen years old, was already level 37. Comparisons were indeed frustrating.
"Alright, I'll tell you. A year ago, that guy was already a level 48 power attack system battle spirit master. He defeated our entire Royal Fighting Team by himself."
Boom!
Level 48?!
Hearing that chilling number, Dai Mubai was stunned. His entire body froze like a statue.
"Level 48? Dai Weis had already reached level 48 a year ago? How is that possible? His talent was supposedly inferior to mine—how could he cultivate so fast?"
"If he was level 48 a year ago, then now… he might already be a Spirit King!"
"Even Yu Tianheng and the seven members of the Royal Fighting Team couldn't beat him. How can I hope to fight him alone?"
The fear of defeat took over. Dai Mubai trembled. Challenging Dai Weis with his strength now was like an egg hitting a rock—he wouldn't stand a chance.
Sigh!
"Little friend, I advise you to enjoy the time you have left." Yu Tianheng sighed before leaving with Dugu Yan and the others.
As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was well aware of the Xingluo royal family's method of choosing their heir. In his eyes, Dai Mubai was already a dead man walking.
After Yu Tianheng left, Dai Mubai was helped back to the private room by Oscar. The whole way, he looked lost and silent, as if his soul had left his body.
"Hey? Boss Dai, what's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything? This isn't like you! Could it be… Yu Tianheng beat you into depression?"
The chubby Ma Hongjun scratched his head in confusion and asked.
"And who's this Dai Weis you mentioned? Boss Dai, I didn't know you had a brother?"
As Ma Hongjun asked, Oscar and Tang San also turned their eyes to Dai Mubai, waiting for answers.
But Dai Mubai remained silent, miserable, trembling slightly, his skin even sprouting goosebumps. Clearly, he was scared of something.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but glance at him with sympathy. As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was quite well-informed.
She whispered, "I once heard my father mention how the Star Luo royal family selects their heir. I didn't expect Boss Dai to actually be a prince of the Star Luo Empire..."
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Ning Rongrong explained the Xingluo royal family's brutal succession rules.
"If I'm not mistaken, the man named Dai Weis is the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire. He and Boss Dai are destined for a final battle."
"The winner becomes the Crown Prince. The loser… dies. And with Boss Dai's current strength, I'm afraid he's no match for Dai Weis."
"Oh my God! That's too cruel!"
Oscar and Ma Hongjun gasped in unison. Even the usually playful Xiao Wu fell silent.
Ning Rongrong continued helplessly,
"Still, it's precisely because of this method that the Star Luo Empire remains so strong. Honestly, if it weren't for the Spirit Hall blocking them, the Star Luo Empire might have already annexed the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Mubai, don't be afraid. You still have us!" Tang San patted his shoulder and encouraged,
"We Shrek Six Monsters are united as one. We won't stand by and watch you die. If Dai Weis dares try anything, we'll fight him off for you. Right, everyone?"
Ma Hongjun grinned.
"That's right! If that bastard dares come near, I'll roast him like a chicken!"
"Exactly, Boss Dai! You still have us!"
"Yeah, and worst-case scenario—we run! If we can't beat him, we can at least hide."
"Boss Dai, don't worry. If it comes to that, you can join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I believe my father will definitely accept you after seeing your talent!"
Ning Rongrong smiled warmly. In fact, she truly hoped Dai Mubai could join their sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was full of auxiliary spirit masters and lacked real combat strength.
Dai Mubai's talent wasn't inferior to hers. In the future, he could at least become a Spirit Douluo—perhaps even a Title Douluo. Having someone like him would be a huge asset.
"Thank you, everyone..."
Dai Mubai's eyes filled with emotion. For the first time, he truly felt that joining Shrek Academy had been the best decision of his life.

Meanwhile, after reuniting with Flender and Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming cheerfully caught up with his former teachers.
Upon learning that Shrek Academy was struggling financially, Qin Ming invited Flender to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. For the sake of Dai Mubai and the others, Flender finally accepted the offer.
After Yu Xiaogang completed the third phase of training, he also set off with the others toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
