Transmigrating into Douluo Continent as Dai Mubai, a mutated Gengjin White Tiger

Chapter 48 Tang Hao Returns

Just like in the original story, Tang San encountered trouble after arriving at Blue Tyrant Academy.

At first, Tang San easily dealt with Tai Long's harassment of Xiao Wu. However, with the appearance of Tai Long's father, Tai Nuo, even though Tang San had the Four Spider Soul Bone, he still used hidden weapons to defeat him.

Titan couldn't stand it when he heard this, and even with Liu Erlong in front of him to stop him, he still couldn't stop the protective Titan.

When Tang San was forced to reveal his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, he withdrew the Yama's Decree he had intended to unleash.

As a result, Titan, who had been abandoned and ignored by the Clear Sky Sect, still protected Tang San like a filial son.

With the blessing of luck, Tang San also learned about the existence of the immortal herb in Yang Wudi's possession, which Tang San revealed intentionally or unintentionally.

Thus, our filial son Titan, Tang Hao, paid a great price to obtain the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng from Bai He.

Tang San received a portion of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and shared it with Xiao Wu, so the two of them both reached level 40 in the competition.

Guided by fate, Tang San still chose the ten-thousand-year-old cave spider as his fourth spirit ring.

Looking at the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years under his feet and the Yama's Decree hidden in his hand, Tang San couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the five members of Shrek Academy. In his heart, he already regarded the five members of Shrek Academy as toys that he could play with at will.

After all, Tang San had no intention of letting the five Shrek Seven Devils off easily. In his mind, if the Shrek Seven Devils had given him the immortal herb earlier, he might have become a Soul King like Dai Mubai.

What troubles Tang San and Yu Xiaogang the most is the current strength of their team members.

Apart from her and Xiao Wu, there were no other Soul Masters. Although Tang San was confident that he could defeat the Shrek Academy members in the finals, he learned from Yu Xiaogang that none of the five major academies were easy targets.

According to Yu Xiaogang, each of the five major academies has at least two Soul Masters in their teams this year, and all of them are high-level Soul Venerables (referring to those at level 37 or above).

Titan then slowly spoke, revealing the information about the previous champion and runner-up.

"The previous champion was Spirit Hall Academy. They had an all-Soul Master lineup with more than four high-level Soul Masters in the team. The runner-up was Star Luo Empire. They also had a five-Soul Master lineup with two high-level Soul Masters."

When it came to the Blue Tyrant Academy's battle against them, Tang San, after hearing Titan's words, was no longer entirely confident after learning that he couldn't use hidden weapons.

In Tang San's mind, the King of Hell's Decree was definitely meant for Shrek Academy, but thinking of his ten-thousand-year soul ring and external soul bone, Tang San still chose to put aside his bold statement that he would definitely win the championship.

This made Yu Xiaogang overjoyed, but he calmed down for the time being.

After all, this concerned the reputation of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, and the enemy's strength was extremely terrifying. So, after exchanging tactics in detail again, the group slowly left.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man who had witnessed the entire event from the shadows left the area silently, exuding a murderous aura.

Shrek Academy

After visiting his granddaughter at Shrek Academy, Dugu Bo was about to leave when Dai Mubai stopped him, and the two began to play chess.

"Senior Dugu, if a war were to break out in the Spirit Hall within the next ten years, which side would you stand on?"

Dai Mubai slowly placed a black stone and, unusually, began to chat earnestly with Dugu Bo.

"I want to live a simple life as a country bumpkin, and I know that's impossible, but Mu Bai, what makes you think the Spirit Hall will definitely start a war?"

After hesitating for a long time, Dugu Bo slowly placed a white piece, blocking Dai Mubai's attack. He knew in his heart that this day might come, but why did Dai Mubai dare to be so certain about the timing? So Dugu Bo threw the question back at him.

"First, from the perspective of ordinary people, the Spirit Hall is undoubtedly a good organization. However, judging from the current rulers, the Spirit Hall's actions are aimed at becoming an uncrowned king. Second, the Spirit Hall has used its inherent advantages to encompass nearly 70% of the soul masters on the continent."

Dai Mubai explained in a logical and methodical manner what the Spirit Hall was currently doing, and at the same time, he made another move that clearly indicated an offensive strategy.

"Didn't the Spirit Hall do the same thing before? What makes you so sure they'll launch an attack within ten years?"

Dugu Bo blocked Dai Mubai's attack with a move and brought up the previous incident.

"Hehe, Senior Dugu, you know this reason better than I do. You should know about the new Pope's temperament and actions. You should also have witnessed her methods, as she is only about fifty years old but possesses a 100,000-year soul ring. As for my source, I can guarantee one thing: she will definitely re-select the seven major sects within five years."

After Dai Mubai finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Dugu Bo. He spoke with such certainty as if he were just talking about something that had happened in the past. Dai Mubai also made a move that Dugu Bo could not understand.

After listening, Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time. As a titled Douluo, especially after he defeated Chrysanthemum Pass in order to win back his pride, the Spirit Hall's desire to "recruit" him had increased to an unprecedented level.

If he hadn't used the excuse of seclusion to avoid the situation for a while, Dugu Bo might be facing even greater pressure right now.

After all, Xingluo knew about his victory over Chrysanthemum Pass, and even the people of the Xingluo Empire hadn't stopped their so-called "recruitment."

Dugu Bo was surprised that Xingluo sent Dai Mubai this time.

However, Dugu Bo stubbornly placed a piece, intending to do everything he could to neutralize Dai Mubai's attack.

Dugu Bo spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and tinged with helplessness.

"Sometimes, even a titled Douluo is not free to do as he pleases, but at least with my current strength, I can still protect a group of people without any problem."

The last sentence reveals Dugu Bo's confidence, because with Dai Mubai's help, he broke through to level 94 this year, and Dugu Bo's words also indicate that he can protect Shrek Academy in the chaotic world.

"Since you know you have no choice in the matter, you can still try to gamble if you act. But if you don't become a player in the game, there's only one outcome."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dai Mubai laid bare the bloody truth before Dugu Bo, forcing him to make a choice.

After speaking, Dai Mubai placed his last piece, which linked all the hidden pieces together and determined life and death.

Dugu Bo stared at the chessboard in front of him in silence for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, Dai Mubai smiled freely and slowly said.

"Games take time to play out; you can't decide life or death with a single move. But a critical moment can arrive in the blink of an eye. There's still time to see the situation clearly."

Upon hearing Dai Mubai's words, Dugu Bo smiled sincerely, a determined glint in his eyes, and then posed a question that he thought would be difficult for Dai Mubai.

"What if I were willing to help you, or join your academy without representing your Star Luo Fighting Forces?"

That's exactly what I was thinking.

To Dugu Bo's surprise, Dai Mubai said those words without hesitation.

"Mu Bai... are you sure?"

After a moment of contemplation, Dugu Bo and Dai Mubai solemnly determined the truth of the matter.

"It's just an empire, what's there to be reluctant about? A hundred-year-old emperor eventually turns into a handful of dust. What I'm going to do is much more meaningful than that."

Dai Mubai's nonchalant, even disdainful, mention of the Star Luo Empire's throne would be unbelievable to Dugu Bo if it were someone else.

However, Dai Mubai in front of him was a being who possessed divine inheritance, so Dugu Bo seemed to understand, smiled freely, stretched out his hand to Dai Mubai, gathered it into a fist, and spoke to confirm.

"Then I'll go crazy with you."

Seeing this, Dai Mubai smiled with satisfaction and made a fist with his right hand, directly touching it.

From that moment on, Dugu Bo had no idea what he would face in the future. But years later, when Dugu Bo mentioned this matter, he shook his head and chuckled. After all, he had underestimated what Dai Mubai was going to do.

After Dugu Bo slowly left, Gu Yuena emerged from the woods and looked at Dai Mubai with some confusion, asking him a question.

"He's just a Title Douluo. Although he has the ability to fight in groups, is it really necessary for you, Lord Gengjin, to go to such lengths?"

"Character is always the most important thing. You can never buy a 100% loyal and capable person by suppressing people with force."

After Dai Mubai explained slowly, Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, and the two were about to leave.

A cold, hoarse voice rang out.

"I think so too..."
