I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Dai Mubai's fingernails dug deeply into his palm, and warm blood meandered down the lines of the White Tiger Martial Soul.

At this moment, as he looked at the undisguised contempt in Lin Yuan's eyes, he suddenly remembered that snowy night many years ago, when he was twelve years old, covered in blood, shivering under the eaves of Shrek Academy.

"I regret."

Dai Mubai's voice sounded like it was squeezed from deep in his throat, tinged with broken sobs. He recalled the days when the Shrek Seven Devils fought side by side.

Those warm memories now felt like sharp blades, tearing his heart to shreds.

"I regret joining Shrek Academy, and I regret getting to know all of you."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but the surging blood mist on the Asura Demon Sword suddenly froze, as if he would personally kill Dai Mubai in the next second.

Dai Mubai knelt on the ground like a caged beast with its spine removed. His long, silvery-white hair was covered in dust, and his once proud eyes were now bloodshot.

“I regret it even more. If I hadn’t joined Shrek Academy, this situation might not have happened.”

Dai Mubai suddenly looked up, blood welling up in his throat and dripping from the corner of his mouth, spreading out on the ground like a hideous red plum blossom.

"I regret it even more."

Dai Mubai suddenly looked up, blood welling up in his throat and dripping from the corner of his mouth, spreading out on the ground like a hideous red plum blossom.

"I regret fleeing Xingluo for the sake of so-called freedom, and I regret not standing up for Zhu Zhuqing when she was being hunted down!"

At this moment, Dai Mubai's voice suddenly rose, filled with an almost manic grief.

"I thought joining Shrek Academy would free me from the royal infighting, but I forgot that there was someone behind me waiting for me to protect!"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly as she looked at Dai Mubai's position. Although the two of them were no longer related, he was, after all, her fiancé in the past.

Seeing Dai Mubai in his current state, Zhu Zhuqing felt a pang of resentment, but she did not plead for him, because Dai Mubai in his current state did not deserve anyone's sympathy.

Looking at the magnificent landscape before him, Dai Mubai sighed deeply and said, "If I die, will you spare my Star Luo Empire?"

Lin Yuan, with one hand hovering behind his back, calmly replied, "Of course. I never break my word. As long as you commit suicide, I will naturally not harm the people of the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Mubai laughed loudly, but his laughter was tinged with endless desolation. He raised his right hand with trembling hands, the white tiger's claws gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"Good, very good"

His gaze passed over Lin Yuan and landed on Zhu Zhuqing's cool profile in the distance.

At that moment, he seemed to see again the girl who stubbornly chased after his back on the Xingluo City Wall back then.

"Zhu Qing."

Dai Mubai's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately did not utter a sound. He knew in his heart that he was no longer worthy to call out that name.

The White Tiger Martial Soul let out a final mournful cry behind him, and brilliant golden light burst forth from its body, causing his aura to instantly weaken.

“I, Dai Mubai, a prince of the empire, have my manhood destroyed. What face do I have to live in this world? If there is an afterlife, I… Dai Mubai would never want to join Shrek Academy again, much less be a prince…”

"Now I finally understand how happy it is to be a free Soul Master. Hehehe, how pathetic, how truly pathetic! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"

Suddenly, Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot, and he fiercely stabbed his own heart with his claws, spraying blood like rain onto the blood mist of the Asura Demon Sword.

Pfft!

A mouthful of hot blood suddenly spurted from Dai Mubai's mouth.

Dai Mubai stared at Lin Yuan's location with bloodshot eyes, tears streaming down his face. "Please... Your Majesty..." Before Dai Mubai could finish speaking, his breath stopped instantly, and he died tragically on the spot, turning into dust and disappearing into the world.

[Congratulations, host, for slaying one of the most important characters in the main storyline, the future White Tiger God of War, completely disrupting the plot of Douluo Continent. You are rewarded with a one-level increase in soul power.]

[Soul Bone Enhancement for 100,000 Years!]

[Soul Ring Upgraded by 100,000 Years!]

When Lin Yuan heard the system notification, he was also taken aback. He hadn't expected that killing Dai Mubai would bring such a large reward.

As Lin Yuan slightly moved his mind, a deep blue panel symbolizing his basic information appeared in front of him.

Name: Lin Yuan

Soul Power: Level 97 Title Douluo

Martial Soul: Shura Demon Sword (God Level)

Soul Rings: Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Gold!

Soul bone: full
Domain: God of Death Domain, Shura Domain
Total kills: 15695
Total soul beasts: 358
Seeing his spirit ring transform into gold, Lin Yuan's face showed a hint of satisfaction, after all, this was a genuine million-year spirit ring.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, it's estimated that only god-level powerhouses are qualified to possess a million-year soul ring.

Lin Yuan put away the system in front of him, glanced slightly at Dai Mubai who was completely dead, and slowly turned around.

"Zhuqing, let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip tightly, glanced at Dai Mubai's position, and then turned and left with her teacher.

Davidson held his son, Dai Mubai, with blood streaming from the corners of his eyes as he watched Lin Yuan's departing figure.

Only after the other person had completely disappeared from his sight did he dare to grit his teeth and say:
"The Heaven Dou Empire... the Heaven Dou Royal Academy... I, Davidson, swear at this moment that one day I will crush you all and avenge my son!!"

.........

On the carriage leaving the Star Luo Empire, Lin Yuan rested his chin on his hand, looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a worried expression, and asked, "Are you blaming your master?"

Zhu Zhuqing gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she felt no pain whatsoever.

The wind whistled past the car window. She stared at the dappled light and shadows on the ground for a long time before speaking softly:

"Teacher, I have no right to blame you. Dai Mubai chose this path himself."

Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled, and the image of Dai Mubai's desperate yet relieved look before his death reappeared before her eyes.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. The Asura Demon Sword emitted a deep hum under the fluctuation of soul power. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's profile, which was trying to maintain a calm demeanor, he suddenly remembered how she looked when he first met this disciple.

The little girl, covered in thorns, was trembling with fear, yet she stubbornly clenched her fists.

"You don't need to hide anything from your teacher."

Lin Yuan's voice was unusually gentle as he ruffled Zhu Zhuqing's hair: "If it weren't for your safety, I could have made the Star Luo Empire disappear completely from the Douluo Continent."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked up and met Lin Yuan's eyes, which seemed to see right through people. The tears she had been suppressing finally burst forth.

"I was just thinking about the past... Back then we were all young, and we promised to grow stronger together and break free from the constraints of our families."
