Diary—Chapter 12: Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, Dai Mubai Kneels
—
[If it weren't for Zhuqing, I wouldn't take a fellow like Dai Mubai seriously at all—just treat him as a stray dog on the roadside.]
[But since he dared to deceive Zhuqing and made her suffer so much in the previous life, I definitely can't let him go. I must avenge Zhuqing!]
—
The two lines that appeared in the diary caught Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's attention simultaneously.
Xiao Wu was better off—though this made Luo Ye's image in her heart grow even more favorable, that was all.
But Zhu Zhuqing, as the person involved, was deeply moved after seeing these entries.
The more Luo Ye acted as her protector, the more Dai Mubai looked like a clown. Zhu Zhuqing's inner balance had already tilted toward Luo Ye, and now Dai Mubai seemed utterly worthless.
Dai Mubai didn't take Luo Ye seriously. After all, Luo Ye looked younger than him. As a monster certified by Shrek Academy, he was confident he had no rivals among his peers, so he said arrogantly,
"You two can come together. I'm in a hurry."
At the end of his sentence, Dai Mubai turned his head and flashed a lewd smile at the twin sisters, a very obvious hint.
Seeing this, Luo Ye secretly gave him a thumbs-up.
Dai Mubai's behavior was worthy of Luo Ye's gratitude. Without his help, even with the diary, it would be very difficult to win Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
Indeed, this proved to be the case. Zhu Zhuqing was so angry when she saw Dai Mubai, but her anger quickly dissipated, and she calmed down in an instant.
Since she had already decided to cancel the engagement, it didn't matter who Dai Mubai tried to hook up with—it was no longer her concern.
Luo Ye could guess Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts. To reinforce her impression that Dai Mubai was a waste, he spoke decisively.
"Just you? I can handle it myself so she doesn't get her hands dirty."
Luo Ye deliberately concealed Zhu Zhuqing's identity, so Dai Mubai wouldn't recognize her for now—surprising him when they arrived at Shrek Academy tomorrow.
Dai Mubai, unaware of the full situation, was naturally furious when he saw Luo Ye look down on him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly,
"Come on then!"
Since he wanted to act big, Dai Mubai chose to go all out from the start, growling,
"White Tiger, possess!"
A pale light suddenly burst from his body. Dai Mubai stretched his arms outward, his chest straightened, and bones cracked all over his body. Every muscle became extremely prominent under his clothes.
After releasing his martial soul, Dai Mubai's golden hair turned black and white. Four faint lines appeared on his forehead—three horizontal and one vertical—forming the Chinese character "王" (King).
Most astonishingly, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rose slowly from beneath his feet, marking his identity as a three-ring soul elder.
"A three-ring soul elder, and a thousand-year soul ring at that!"
Tang San's eyes narrowed, surprised.
Who would have thought that such a genius could be hidden in a small city like Suotuo City?
How would he respond to such an opponent? Should he admit defeat immediately or continue fighting regardless of the cost?
Tang San looked at Luo Ye with curiosity but found that Luo Ye's expression didn't change at all—like he didn't even take Dai Mubai seriously.
'Do you have enough strength to support this, or are you just scared silly?'
While Tang San was puzzled, Dai Mubai, after transforming, spoke in a deep voice.
"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, thirty-seventh level Battle Soul Master. Please give me your guidance!"
A Level 37 Soul Master might not mean much elsewhere, but in a small city like Suotuo City, it still carried significant pressure.
Even the manager and waiters of the Rose Hotel trembled with fear.
But Luo Ye remained calm, with a faint golden glow in his deep blue eyes.
Then, a scene that terrified everyone unfolded.
Three soul rings appeared beneath Luo Ye's feet. Unlike Dai Mubai, all three rings shone with a bright blood-red light.
"Luo Ye, Martial Soul Spirit Eye, Level 31."
As Luo Ye finished speaking, an overwhelming aura swept over everyone present. The manager, waiters, and twin sisters collapsed unconscious on the ground.
Dai Mubai, standing opposite Luo Ye, was the first to be affected. Under this terrifying pressure, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he fell heavily to the ground, unable to support himself.
If he hadn't grabbed the ground for support, he likely would have collapsed completely.
"Impossible! How is this possible?!"
It wasn't Dai Mubai who cried out in shock—he couldn't even speak now. Kneeling on the ground, he struggled to breathe and almost fainted.
Tang San and Xiao Wu stared at Luo Ye's soul ring, both stunned and incredulous.
What does the red soul ring mean?
It signifies a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
A three-ring Soul Elder with three red rings—that's unimaginable!
Luo Ye ignored Tang San and approached Dai Mubai. Seeing his body shake violently and forehead dripping with cold sweat, Luo Ye's voice was cold.
"Tell me now—do you still dare to compete with us for a room?"
Luo Ye's aura, like that of an ancient beast of prey, made Dai Mubai feel nearly suffocated. He experienced the sensation of death firsthand.
His pride shattered completely, and he didn't even dare to lift his head. With great difficulty, he spoke,
"N-No... I don't dare..."
Although Dai Mubai appeared arrogant and proud outwardly, inwardly he was terrified of death. Especially when he felt the enormous gap between himself and Luo Ye, he had no desire to resist.
If he truly had courage, he would never have abandoned Zhu Zhuqing and fled alone.
Now, facing Luo Ye's three 100,000-year soul rings, it was perfectly in character for him to admit defeat and beg for mercy.
But Luo Ye wasn't planning to let him go so easily. His third soul ring flashed, activating the power of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Shock soul skill, which slammed directly into Dai Mubai.
Buzz!
The invisible spiritual attack rendered Dai Mubai speechless, and he immediately fell into unconsciousness.
But as blood gushed from his eyes, mouth, and even ears, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Tang San all immediately realized this was Luo Ye's brutal work.
