Chapter 123: Crush Ma Hongjun, Tang San's Challenge
Dai Weis smiled, activating his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire to secretly observe Dai Mubai's soul power level. Then he chuckled,
> "Level 38, Mubai... seems like you've been living quite well these past years."
> "Level 38?" Zhu Zhuyun beside him furrowed her brows slightly. Sixteen years old and already at level 38—this was faster than Dai Weis.
After all, Dai Weis hadn't reached level 38 until he was eighteen.
Luckily, Dai Weis had obtained those immortal herbs, or else he might have been surpassed by this coward.
Zhu Zhuyun felt a chill in her heart—she didn't want her man to be outdone by Dai Mubai.
But now, even if ten Dai Mubais stood together, they still wouldn't be a match for Dai Weis. Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up with confidence.
> "D-Dai Weis, why are you here?"
Dai Mubai's body trembled. He tried to stand, but his legs had no strength. All he could do was scoot backward on the ground.
Dai Weis gave a fake smile,
> "What kind of nonsense is that? I'm your big brother. Naturally, I've come to take you home!"
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhu Zhuqing—sure enough, her eyes were filled with contempt for Dai Mubai.
Dai Weis was secretly thrilled.
> Zhu Zhuqing was now completely his woman—her heart belonged to him, and soon, so would her body.
> "No, I-I don't want to go back with you!" Dai Mubai stammered, crawling back.
"Father said… you can't kill me until I'm twenty-five!"
Dai Weis snickered.
> "Who said I wanted to kill you? You're my dear... cough, my dear little brother. I just want to bring you back to the Star Luo Empire to keep our parents company. How could I hurt you?"

Tang San frowned slightly.
> "So, this Davis is Dai Mubai's elder brother? Looks like he's here with bad intentions."
With that thought, Tang San quietly pulled out his Zhuge Divine Crossbow, Dragon Beard Needle, and Silent Sleeve Dart. His stealthy movements didn't escape Dai Weis's sharp senses, but he didn't bother to expose him.
> "You're Boss Dai's brother? Hmph! Stop pretending!"
Ma Hongjun shouted angrily and immediately released his martial spirit.
A pair of Evil Fire Phoenix wings burst from his back, radiating intense heat.
> "If you want to take Boss Dai, you'll have to step over me first!
First Soul Skill: Phoenix Fire Line!"
The first soul ring glowed, and Ma Hongjun gathered soul power into his mouth before unleashing a stream of dark red phoenix flame at Dai Weis.
Although his flames weren't pure—being tainted by the evil fire—the heat was undeniable.
> "Young Master, be careful!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun suddenly attack, Li Hu prepared to act, but Dai Weis calmly waved him off.
> "Uncle Li, you're a Soul Douluo now. Don't bother with small fry like this.
I haven't stretched in two months—this is a good warm-up."
Dai Weis stepped forward without activating his martial spirit.
Instead, he pulled out the Saint Sword that Zhu Zhuqing had gifted him yesterday. This sharp blade craved blood to grow.
He channeled his ultimate gold soul power into the blade, causing it to emit a sharp screeching sound.
This Saint Sword was a masterpiece crafted by the Godsmith Titan, forged from soul power-conductive metal over the course of 9,981 days. It could enhance a soul master's attacks even without a soul ring.
> It was equivalent to a second martial spirit, albeit without soul skills.
> "Little fatty, I don't even need to use my martial spirit to handle someone like you.
But since you want to play, I'll indulge you. Don't wet yourself."
With that, Dai Weis slashed.
A powerful sword aura, infused with golden soul power, surged forth and collided with Ma Hongjun's phoenix flame.
Boom!
The sword energy split the flame in two, creating a fiery path in the middle.
Ma Hongjun was shocked.
> He blocked my Phoenix Fire Line without even using his martial spirit?
> "Hmph! Think that's enough to beat me?
Second Soul Skill: Phoenix Rising in Fire!"
This skill increased his flame's power by 30%. Ma Hongjun inhaled deeply, preparing to strike again—but Dai Weis wasn't about to give him the chance.
He gathered soul power and activated the Hundred Step Flying Sword technique.
The Saint Sword flew like a meteor, slicing toward Ma Hongjun.
Fast! Precise! Deadly!
Ma Hongjun tried to dodge, but at only level 29, and without his third soul skill Phoenix Wing Sky Flight, he couldn't fly.
And being a little chubby, his ground speed was lacking.
Swish!
The blade narrowly missed his head, slicing off several strands of hair.
But Ma Hongjun felt as if he had just stared death in the face.
He gasped, and his flames died out in his throat.
> That was the closest he had ever come to dying!
Dai Weis sighed,
> "Dean Lin, looks like I really need to study swordsmanship under you."
He had aimed for Ma Hongjun's neck, but the blade had veered slightly—cutting only hair. Not bad for his first sword swing.
Seeing Dai Weis temporarily unarmed, Ma Hongjun foolishly tried to retaliate.
He began gathering soul power again to fire another Phoenix Flame—
But Dai Weis, using his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire, had already predicted this.
He vanished in a blur and reappeared beside Ma Hongjun.
With a single motion, his large hand grasped Ma Hongjun's throat and lifted him into the air.
> "Mmmff!"
Ma Hongjun struggled frantically. The choking grip robbed him of breath.
> "I told you—
I don't even need to use my martial spirit to deal with garbage like you."
> "Also—don't move.
If I wanted to, I could crush your throat in one second."
His expression was calm, even cheerful. But in Ma Hongjun's eyes, Dai Weis was a smiling devil.
---
> "Brother, please let go of Ma Hongjun.
If you still want to fight, then let me face you."
Tang San stepped forward, steeling himself. Only he and Xiao Wu could fight, and he wouldn't let her step in.
> "Oh? You want to challenge me?"
Dai Weis smiled, amused.
> "Yes." Tang San nodded.
"If I lose, we'll let you handle things your way.
But if I win—you must promise not to hurt Mubai.
I guarantee he won't compete for the throne.
Do we have a deal?"
Dai Weis grinned,
> "Alright. I accept your challenge."
