Chapter 10 Return to Shrek

"Success!" A dark green figure shot straight into the sky and then fell from the sky, followed by a loud bang and billowing smoke.

"Old Poisoner, what's the mentality of those of you who successfully break through or fly after completing your seclusion? You don't have to make such a spectacle of showing off with all that smoke, do you?"

Dai Mubai coughed and complained as he brushed away the dust.

"Little Bai, your mouth is still so foul, hahaha. I've broken through to level 92, almost level 93. Moreover, this time I condensed the soul core, which increased my strength by at least 7%. I haven't fully digested it yet. After a while, once I've digested this boost, I feel that defeating Chrysanthemum Pass won't be difficult. Just thinking about the expression on that kid Chrysanthemum Pass's face when I defeated him makes me feel very satisfied."

Dugu Bo patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder while sharing his improvements over the past three months.

"Yes, yes, you're the best."

Dai Mubai looked at Dugu Bo, who seemed impatient, but his tone was full of joy.

"You're such a quiet rascal. If my granddaughter marries you, and you still dare to act like this, I'll give you a good beating."

Seeing Dai Mubai's state, Dugu Bo couldn't help but want to tease him again, and he couldn't help but start promoting his granddaughter again. After all, Dai Mubai was too outstanding at the moment. He was a god inheritor and had already stepped into the high-level Soul Master at only 14.15. Apart from being a bit taciturn and sometimes having a sharp tongue, he was also impeccable in terms of appearance and family background.

"Old Poisoner, didn't I already say I'm from Xingluo? I have a fiancée, don't you object?"

Dai Mubai looked at Dugu Bo and couldn't help but tease him.

"What's the big deal? Which powerful person doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Besides, you are the inheritor of the gods, so what's the big deal? Just treat my Yanyan well."

Dugu Bo spoke nonchalantly, after all, he himself had three wives and four concubines back then, and Dai Mubai was someone who might become a god in the future. Although he had considered these things before, since no one wants their granddaughter or daughter to compete with other women for a man, these things were nothing in front of the successor of the godhood.

"Stop! Before you went into seclusion last time, didn't you take the Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma and other medicinal herbs I asked you to bring to your granddaughter? Don't you want to know the effects?"

Dai Mubai quickly changed the subject, but looking at Dugu Bo, he realized that the conversation had inadvertently gone in the wrong direction.

"That thing can't be poisonous, can it? Yeah, my Yanyan should have sent me a letter by now, I need to go check it out."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he couldn't help but walk outside. When he returned, Dai Mubai had already tidied everything up.

"Kid! Not bad! My Yanyan sent me a letter last month saying she's broken through to the Soul Master level, and her Martial Soul has evolved to the Azure Serpent Emperor, just like mine!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai nodded in satisfaction. Clearly, a single Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma was insufficient for Dugu Yan's martial soul to evolve. Therefore, he added other snake-type spiritual herbs, which, while not immortal herbs, were nearly identical. It was this combination that created the opportunity for Dugu Yan's martial soul to evolve.

Seeing Dai Mubai, with whom he had spent so much time, about to leave, Dugu Bo felt reluctant. However, just as he was about to mock Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai spoke first.

"Just as I expected, you haven't seen Dugu Yan for three months, don't you want to go see her?"

"Yes! I need to hurry and go see Yanyan."

Seeing Dai Mubai deliberately change the subject, Dugu Bo understood his meaning. So the two of them, who understood everything without saying a word, finally changed direction and left Sunset Forest. However, before they parted, a small package fell on Dai Mubai's face.

Upon opening it, he found a talisman given to him by Dugu Bo, with a line of small characters below it. Crushing it would allow him to sense Dugu Bo's location.

"That old poisoner, he's all talk and no action."

Dai Mubai shook his head and headed to Shrek Academy.

Three days later, at Shrek Academy

"Boss Dai, I've missed you so much!"

Before he even arrived, his voice preceded his movement. Just as Ma Hongjun was about to rush over and hug Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai anticipated his actions and directly reached out to refuse Ma Hongjun's request for intimate contact.

"Mu Bai, you have no idea, these two have been working hard since you left. They actually broke through level 30 yesterday. You really were gone for so long."

Flander stroked his beard as he told Dai Mubai about his recent situation.

"Boss Dai, what about our special fortune? I was the first to break through level 30, so my fortune should be the best." Oscar looked at Dai Mubai and couldn't help but rub his hands together expectantly.

"Bullshit! We broke through together!"

Ma Hongjun watched as Oscar retorted defiantly.

"You're talking nonsense. I broke through this morning. If you don't believe me, ask Dean Flander."

Seeing the two of them playfully bickering, Dai Mubai couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Stop fooling around, you two. Mu Bai, what is your current cultivation level?"

As Zhao Wuji walked in, interrupting Oscar and Ma Hongjun's antics, he looked at Dai Mubai and asked.

Level 48.

When Dai Mubai finished speaking, the four of them were shocked once again. The Soul Master's level had increased by seven levels in five months? This improvement was too terrifying.

"Brother Dai, do you borrow 12 extra hours from God every day?"

Ma Hongjun looked at Dai Mubai and couldn't help but ask seriously. In order not to fall behind Oscar, Ma Hongjun had sacrificed almost all his rest time. Apart from eating and fighting, he spent all his time cultivating. Only then did he barely catch up with Oscar. But Dai Mubai played this trick on him, which really made him a little unable to hold back.

"Boss Dai, you're going too far!" Oscar, realizing what was happening, complained about Dai Mubai's terrifying cultivation speed, almost in tears.

"Get out of here, Mu Bai, did you use some kind of 'forcing growth' method?"

Flander interrupted Ma Hongjun's whimsical question and couldn't help but look at Dai Mubai seriously.

"Dean Flander, do you think I'm that kind of person? I accidentally helped Poison Douluo by obtaining a few unfamiliar immortal herbs from his herb garden, which are very helpful for low- to mid-level Soul Masters to build a solid foundation."

Upon hearing this, Flander nodded. Just as he was about to ask if he had prepared anything for his disciple Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai spoke first.

"Moreover, one of the immortal herbs I discovered can completely solve the fat man's problem of evil fire, as well as improve Ti Xiao'ao's cultivation speed when he is an auxiliary Soul Master or Soul Sect Master."

Upon hearing this, Flander couldn't help but stand up and look into Dai Mubai's eyes for confirmation.

"Really? Can Hongjun's problem with his 'evil fire' really be completely resolved?"

Dai Mubai smiled and nodded. Flander couldn't help but be overjoyed. Ma Hongjun's problem with evil fire had troubled him for too long. Without a master, he himself couldn't find anyone who could help him solve Ma Hongjun's evil fire problem.

Although it seems that Flander treats Ma Hongjun indifferently, he is actually the best to Ma Hongjun in private because Ma Hongjun is his last disciple.

"Well... cough cough"

"However, it's best to wait until the two of them have finished hunting for their third soul ring before using it, since immortal herbs can also significantly increase soul power."

Seeing Flander's somewhat embarrassed expression, Dai Mubai timely interrupted him as he was about to finish speaking.

"Alright then, Mu Bai, take them both hunting soul beasts today. You were already at least on par with a Soul King when you were level 38, and now you're at least comparable to a Soul Emperor. Getting them a thousand-year soul ring will be a piece of cake. Flander, good things happen today, let's go have a drink together, hahaha."

Zhao Wuji noticed that Flander was somewhat embarrassed, as it was indeed a bit awkward to ask his own student for such a thing. So he put his arm around Flander's shoulder and led him out the door.

"Huh? I just got back?"

Dai Mubai couldn't help but twitch his face, and said with some helplessness.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go, Boss Dai, let's go hunt for spirit rings."

Ma Hongjun and Oscar escorted a utterly dejected Dai Mubai out the door towards Star Dou. It wasn't that Dai Mubai didn't want to help them. Although Dai Mubai did intend to find someone to practice on, the current thousand-year-old soul beasts were like going through the trouble of chopping vegetables for him.

A month and a half later

Dai Mubai looked at the calendar, calculating that the day was almost up, went out to look around, and saw Ma Hongjun and said...

"Fatty, you're in charge that day, I'm going to pick someone up."

Ma Hongjun immediately turned around, looked at Dai Mubai, and began to act, reluctantly tugging at his clothes.

"Boss Dai, please don't leave us again..."

Dai Mubai looked at Ma Hongjun with a threatening smile and muttered to himself.

"Looks like you don't want to watch the game, you want to spar with me? I'm going to pick up my wife!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun shook his head vigorously, retreating repeatedly until he disappeared in a flash.

Looking at Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai couldn't help but gently rub his forehead, then turned and murmured in one direction.

"Zhuqing, I'm coming to pick you up right away."
