Chapter 124: Davis Takes Action, and Everyone in Shrek Is Shocked
Dai Weis agreed to the duel. He never intended to harm Dai Mubai. His real purpose was only to inform him that the Star Luo royal family's heir selection system had been abolished.
In fact, he had promised Zhu Zhuqing two years ago that he would completely dismantle the brutal method of heir selection.
Now, he was already the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the throne had nothing to do with Dai Mubai anymore.
If he were to kill Dai Mubai with his own hands now, his parents, grandparents, and even Zhu Zhuqing would all be disappointed in him.
So although he still disdained Dai Mubai, as long as Mubai didn't provoke him again, Dai Weis had no interest in bothering with him.
But if Dai Mubai insisted on seeking humiliation, Dai Weis wouldn't hold back.
To put it bluntly—Dai Mubai could die, just not by his hand.
> "Tang San, since you want to challenge me, let's begin."
As he spoke, Dai Weis sheathed the Saint Sword.
Tang San became alert at once.
> "How do you know my name?!"
> "Idiot," Dai Weis sneered. "Since you're Dai Mubai's classmates, I obviously investigated you all beforehand. I had to know who he's been messing around with these past years."
Tang San didn't argue. Instead, he exchanged a glance with Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who immediately understood.
> "Seven Treasures, turn to Glaze!"
"The Seven Treasures are named: One is strength! Two is speed!"
Two multicolored beams of light surged into Tang San's body, instantly boosting both his strength and speed by 30%. At the same time, Oscar produced several recovery sausages and flying mushroom sausages, handing them to Tang San.
> "I'm ready. For the sake of my friends, I'll give it my all."
With that, Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass martial spirit, while gripping the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his other hand.
> "Tang San, Martial Spirit: Blue Silver Grass. Level 32 Control System Battle Soul Master. Please advise!"
> "Tch, how shameless!"
Zhu Zhuyun scoffed. "This was supposed to be a one-on-one duel, but he's getting buffed by auxiliary and food-type soul masters.
Sister Xiao Mo, Sister Xiao Xue, go assist too—we've got our own support!"
> "Yes, Madam!"
The two women nodded, ready to assist. But—
> "No need," Dai Weis raised a hand with a calm smile.
"Just a mere soul master. I don't need any support."
Hearing that, Tang San's heart sank.
> Yu Tianheng said a year ago that Dai Weis was already level 48. Now a year has passed… could he have reached the Soul King level?
> "Saint White Tiger, possess me!"
Dai Weis whispered. Instantly, a majestic white tiger appeared and merged into his body.
His form expanded—his aura became fierce.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—six soul rings rose from beneath his feet and floated steadily in the air.
> "Dai Weis, Martial Spirit: Saint White Tiger. Level 63 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. Please advise."
> "WHAT?!"
Everyone from Shrek Academy was utterly stunned.
> "Second ring—a thousand years? Fourth ring—ten thousand years?! That's impossible!!"
Even the ever-proud Yu Xiaogang, who had tagged along with the Shrek Six Monsters, couldn't remain calm. His eyes turned bloodshot.
> Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
If he weren't afraid of being killed on the spot, he'd have already stormed up to grab Dai Weis by the collar and demand the secret to absorbing soul rings beyond limits.
> "A thousand-year second ring… a ten-thousand-year fourth ring…"
Tang San repeated blankly, his thoughts in turmoil.
But Teacher said the second soul ring's limit is 732 years! The fourth ring's is 5,000!
How could he possibly… unless Teacher's 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirits' is… wrong?
Tang San's faith in his teacher wavered. He felt completely lost for a moment.
Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others were equally shocked. Only Dai Mubai stared at Dai Weis in disbelief and murmured:
> "Saint White Tiger…? Impossible. I clearly remember—we both had the Evil-Eyed White Tiger… And your second soul ring was just a hundred-year ring! How did this…"
> "Heh, since you're my brother, I'll let you in on the secret.
Over the past few years, I've had some fortuitous encounters.
My martial spirit evolved, and the quality of my soul rings improved—thus, the second ring turned purple."
This revelation stunned the entire Shrek group.
Yu Xiaogang immediately began taking notes, determined to revise his theories based on what he'd just seen.
> What Dai Weis didn't mention was that… his fourth soul ring had always been a ten-thousand-year ring.
> "Martial spirits… can evolve post-birth?"
Ning Rongrong thought to herself, eyes lighting up. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tower could only support seven rings, and therefore capped at level 79.
This limitation made her less motivated to train seriously.
But now that she knew martial spirits could evolve…
> Could the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower evolve too? Maybe I can ask him for the secret. If he won't say it… Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will help me.
As Ning Rongrong's thoughts raced, the duel officially began.
Tang San activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, dashing toward Dai Weis like a blur. His first soul ring lit up.
> "First Soul Skill: Binding!"
Dozens of dark purple Blue Silver Grass vines shot toward Dai Weis like venomous snakes, twisting and coiling with fierce momentum.
> "Cheap tricks."
Dai Weis sneered. He'd sparred countless times with Anna, whose fighting style was nearly identical to Tang San's.
Seeing the vines approach, Dai Weis's hands transformed into tiger claws.
With a swipe, ultimate golden soul power erupted.
As he slashed, blade-like wind burst from his claws and tore through the Blue Silver Grass with explosive force—ripping the vines into powder before they could touch him.
> "That power…"
Tang San's eyes widened.
"As expected of a Soul Emperor. Just a casual move destroyed my first skill!"
But Tang San didn't stop—he'd already dashed in close during that attack.
His tactic was simple: take advantage of Davis underestimating him and finish the fight quickly.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize—Dai Weis never underestimated cheat-code protagonists like him.
> "Third Soul Skill: Spider Web Restraint!"
Whoosh—
Three massive spider webs fired at Davis.
But Davis only smiled slightly. His second soul ring lit up.
> "Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"
