Chapter 247: May I Have the Honor?

"Dai Mubai, martial soul: White Tiger Sacred King, Level 80 Assault System Soul Douluo candidate. Please guide me!"

Extending his right hand in a polite gesture, Dai Mubai's expression remained stoic.

This single action sent a collective chill through the audience. A Soul Douluo candidate competing in the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?

The most absurd part was that Dai Mubai still met the age criteria for the tournament! Not just this one—he could even compete in the next tournament five years later if he wanted.

Yan's teeth chattered uncontrollably as he struggled to process the information. Level 80! A Soul Douluo candidate! This wasn't just bullying—it was outright annihilation.

To someone of Dai Mubai's strength, their Soul King and Soul Ancestor ranks might as well be ants.

"Three 100,000-year soul rings… with the fourth ring already at 100,000 years."

The spectators could only describe the sight as terrifying.

Among them, a few elders eyed Dai Mubai's soul rings with a mix of awe and envy. They knew the implications: 100,000-year soul beasts always yield 100,000-year soul bones. With three such rings, Dai Mubai likely had at least three 100,000-year soul bones.

However, as tempting as the thought was, they quickly abandoned any notions of trying to claim them.

Dai Mubai was already a force to be reckoned with as a candidate for Soul Douluo. Once he absorbed his next soul ring, he would become a true Soul Douluo.

With his martial soul and soul ring configuration, even ordinary Title Douluos wouldn't stand a chance against him. Failing to kill him in an attempt to seize his soul bones could lead to him becoming a Title Douluo and exacting terrible vengeance.

Even among the high-ranking members of the Hall of Worship, Elder Hall, and other observers, the shock was palpable.

Unlike Tang San's twin martial soul talent, Dai Mubai seemed to possess only a single martial soul. His unparalleled soul ring configuration could only be attributed to sheer luck and terrifying natural talent.

"Please guide me?"

Hu Liena and her team were completely flabbergasted. How were they supposed to "guide" a Soul Douluo candidate?

They wanted to retort, but no words came to mind.

"Make your move," Dai Mubai said calmly. "If I attack first, you won't even have the chance to try."

With a slight flap of his massive white wings, Dai Mubai rose into the air, hovering about ten meters above the ground.

The Golden Generation was stunned. How were they supposed to make the first move?

"Na-na!" Xie Yue called, his expression firm. The meaning was clear.

If they were to lose, it would at least be with dignity. Even if they couldn't win, they had to show their strength.

Hu Liena nodded. They had no choice but to rely on their martial soul fusion skill.

The two quickly came together, a swirl of pink mist enveloping them.

Yan and the others stood guard, protecting them as they activated their fusion skill. None dared to charge at Dai Mubai—it was pointless. Their only hope lay in the fusion skill.

Moments later, Hu Liena and Xie Yue disappeared into the mist. From it emerged a masked figure wielding dual blades—their martial soul fusion skill: Enchantress (Yaomei).

"A martial soul fusion skill? Your fusion compatibility is decent, but that's all," Dai Mubai observed with detached indifference.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue had a fusion compatibility of about 80%, a remarkable level. It was why they could manifest their fusion skill in a physical form. But to Dai Mubai, it was merely average.

The true power of Enchantress lay in the pink mist that created a domain effect, significantly slowing down opponents and impairing their movements.

The fusion also enhanced all attributes of the combined form. However, compared to top-tier martial soul fusion skills, its utility was limited.

Take Moonlight and Ghost Douluo's fusion skill, for instance—it could freeze time within a designated area. Their Two Poles Static Domain was instrumental in aiding Bibi Dong to hunt down the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python.

"You're strong, and we can't refute your words," Enchantress replied in a voice that was both neutral and echoing, as though Hu Liena and Xie Yue were speaking simultaneously. "But don't underestimate us!"

"I don't mean to underestimate you or Enchantress," Dai Mubai said, waving dismissively. "I just think you're pathetic."

Everyone: "…"

"Enough with the bickering," Dai Mubai sighed. For the first time in ages, he activated his second soul skill.

Gold light condensed in his mouth as he prepared his Saint King Blazing Radiance Wave.

The attack was ready in just half a second, and a beam of golden energy shot toward Enchantress.

Sweat poured beneath the mask of Enchantress. Dai Mubai had used a long-range attack despite holding an overwhelming advantage—utterly dishonorable!

For the Soul Kings and Soul Ancestors in the audience, this was nothing short of a heavenly tribulation.

"Dodge! Dodge it!"

But Enchantress couldn't move. Their legs refused to obey, leaving them rooted in place.

"Na-na!"

Yan, who was nearby, burst forward with unprecedented speed, intent on taking the hit for Hu Liena.

"How touching. Makes me feel like a true villain," Dai Mubai muttered. Though he spoke softly, everyone heard him.

"He's actually self-aware!" someone in the audience whispered. "Honestly, he does look like a villain right now."

Yan collapsed after taking the brunt of the attack. Were it not for Dai Mubai holding back, Yan's injuries would have been far worse than just passing out.

Dai Mubai shook his head in mild frustration. He had to carefully restrain his soul skill's power; even though these opponents were Soul Masters, their bodies were still fragile. If someone died, his qualification to compete would be revoked.

In a flash, Dai Mubai vanished from the air and reappeared beside Enchantress. Without hesitation, he threw a simple punch.
