Chapter 53: Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Invincible Vajra Body

Qian Renxue couldn't stay away from Tian Dou City for too long. If it weren't for that old man Dugu Bo preferring to stay in Sunset Forest, she might not have come to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for a spirit ring.

"I'm in Tian Dou City. If you have time, you can visit me at the Spirit Hall in Tian Dou City."

"This is my token. Show this, and someone will notify me."

Qian Renxue took out a token and handed it to Dai Mubai as she spoke.

"What would I go looking for you for?"

A chance meeting, even if Qian Renxue was beautiful, Dai Mubai wasn't that kind of creature...

So, after receiving the token, he subconsciously asked.

Qian Renxue: Maybe I should just kidnap him instead!

Clenching her teeth, the pink fist she had tightened slowly relaxed. Keeping her face calm, Qian Renxue said coldly:

"Don't pretend you don't understand. The compatibility of our martial souls is far greater than the Netherworld White Tiger's fusion degree."

"Let's not even mention martial soul fusion skills."

"If we cultivate together, our cultivation speed could be more than doubled."

She rolled her eyes at Dai Mubai and waved her hand dismissively.

"I have to go now. See you next time."

Hopefully, I won't have to drag you back by force.

Dai Mubai froze in place, watching Qian Renxue's departing figure. After a long moment, the corner of his lips curved into a faint smile.

So she still didn't attack me in the end.

Looking at the token in his hand, he saw that the front bore only a single character: "Qian," surrounded by six feather-like decorations.

The back of the token had two words: Elder Hall.

"She really is generous, pulling out such a token."

Qian Renxue and Dai Mubai took different routes out of the Star Dou Forest.

Dai Mubai glanced at the golden lion's corpse on the ground and scratched his head. As a 30,000-year spirit beast, even without a spirit bone, the golden lion was still a treasure trove.

Storing the golden lion's body into his spatial soul tool, Dai Mubai began retracing his path back.

Just as he was about to leave the mixed-zone area, a sudden thought crossed his mind.

"No, I need to hunt down an 8,000-year-old spirit beast or so, just for appearances."

After absorbing the golden lion's spirit ring, Dai Mubai's spirit power had already reached level 53. But level 53 was far too conspicuous!

For someone who had just broken into rank 40, such a leap was simply inappropriate.

"I'll temporarily mask myself as level 43."

A sudden increase of over ten ranks would definitely raise suspicion.

Level 43—just enough, not too much.

With his current control over spirit power, unless someone directly used their soul power to probe him, it would be incredibly difficult to determine his actual level.

After briefly considering his options, Dai Mubai made up his mind.

He'd look for a dragon-type or dragon-bloodline spirit beast.

He didn't even know why—he just wanted to hunt one.

An inexplicable fury surged within him. Why should dragons naturally suppress tigers?

"No more talking—let's move!"

With a cold snort, a violent emotion bubbled up inside Dai Mubai. Right now, he only wanted to vent on some dragon-type spirit beasts.

No—dragons never even admitted they were spirit beasts.

Before long, whether by fate or destiny, Dai Mubai really did come across a dragon-type spirit beast—not a true dragon, but a sub-dragon.

The absolute ruler among sub-dragons: the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This type of spirit beast was exceedingly rare. According to legend, Tyrannosaurus Rex possessed a trace of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, granting them unparalleled strength.

Their power was no weaker than true dragons, and they looked down on many real dragons. Tyrannosaurus Rex had only one belief: the Golden Dragon King. Even the Silver Dragon King couldn't make them submit.

They were inherently violent, killing for the sake of killing.

The spirit beast currently hailed as the strongest beast martial soul was a variant of the Tyrannosaurus Rex: the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon shared a small trace of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's bloodline, as well as some bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon. Of course, both were extremely diluted.

Staring at the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the distance, Dai Mubai shook his head.

Dragons really are hypocrites.

For such cruel and ruthless beasts as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, they turned a blind eye.

For a madman like the Golden Dragon King, they still did nothing.

But when it came to the tiger clan: You are inherently violent and cannot be kings.

Clearly, they feared the tiger clan competing for their status.

As the White Tiger Saint King had once said: Before I fell, who among the dragon clan dared to say tigers couldn't rule?

But the moment the White Tiger Saint King perished, the dragons began suppressing the tiger clan, forbidding any second White Tiger Saint King from emerging.

In the end, everything came down to strength.

Without further thought, Dai Mubai instantly activated his martial soul. First, he'd deal with this 9,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex.

At the same time, the Indestructible Vajra Art began circulating. White and golden lights intertwined, transforming Dai Mubai into a golden figure, his entire body resembling gilded bronze.

He pounded his chest twice. "Dong, dong..." The sound rang out like striking a great golden bell.

"Only the Indestructible Vajra Art gets this job done. Every soul skill is weak in comparison!"

With a roar, Dai Mubai charged at the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Using Shave, he crossed a hundred meters almost instantly, arriving right in front of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The sudden appearance of this "little golden man" clearly startled the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

What kind of "golden spirit beast" dares to attack me?

"Roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, with its short forelimbs, thick hind legs, and massive frame, typically relied on stomping or biting to attack. With its immense strength, most spirit beasts would be crippled from a single hit.

Already prone to anger, it couldn't tolerate this golden creature's provocation and lunged at Dai Mubai.

"Duang—"

"???"

Dai Mubai clearly saw one of the Tyrannosaurus Rex's teeth break off...

He wasn't entirely unscathed, though. The beast's immense strength left a faint white mark on his body, though it didn't actually injure him.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was dumbfounded. One of its teeth was broken, and the golden creature in front of it was completely unharmed!

"Rasengan!"

Before the Tyrannosaurus Rex could recover, a golden, spinning ball of soul power smashed into its open mouth.

"Boom—"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly lost half its head.

Had the attack hit its body, it wouldn't have been nearly as destructive. But its mouth—its strongest and weakest point—was the target.

Dai Mubai stared at the fallen Tyrannosaurus Rex, the killing intent in his eyes fading slightly.

With its vitality, it wasn't dead yet. Even with half its head gone, it continued glaring at Dai Mubai, hatred burning in its gaze, as though it wanted nothing more than to devour and tear him apart.

"Hmph. Go ahead and hate me. The more unwilling you are, the more likely you are to drop a spirit bone."

Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes and said with a smirk.

"I have to admit, dragon-type spirit beasts really are strong. My second martial soul..."
