Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 49 Conflict

The next day, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan and Xiao Yi to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings.

Since Dugu Yan is the only one hunting for the spirit ring this time, there is no need to bring anything else.

The three flew the entire way to the Star Dou Great Forest, with Dugu Bo carrying Dugu Yan. Xiao Yi's external soul bone had been upgraded to 20,000 years due to his soul power level and the head soul bone. Because they were also carrying Dugu Yan, the three of them spent four days.

Outside the town in the Starry Sky Forest.

"Yanyan, we've arrived. Come down," Dugu Bo said to Dugu Yan in his arms.

The three of them arrived outside the town in the Star Dou Great Forest. They found a hotel and planned to rest there for the night before entering the forest the next day.

The hotel is a two-story building; the lobby on the first floor is a simple restaurant, and the second floor is for accommodation.

After entering the hotel, the three of them found a place to sit down. Dugu Bo went to the hotel counter and asked for two rooms. Dugu Bo and Xiao Yi shared one room, while Dugu Yan shared one room by herself. After ordering a few dishes and paying, Dugu Bo returned to his seat to wait for the food to be served.

The dishes were served quickly, and the three of them started eating. Just then, four more people entered the hotel.

The leader appeared to be a middle-aged man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance and an extremely muscular build. Although not tall, he exuded a powerful presence. His broad shoulders were like city walls, and his coat could not conceal his massive, steel-like muscles. Although his expression was amiable, his imposing physique gave off an intimidating aura.

Behind him stood a man about 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a handsome face with a touch of fortitude, and long, flowing blond hair that reached almost to his waist. His eyes were sinister, with double pupils, deep blue, and a chilling coldness emanating from the depths of his being, flashing with an evil light between half-open eyes.

The person next to the blond-haired man was a large, fat man with red hair styled in a mohawk and a small mustache, who looked somewhat lewd and sleazy.

The last one was dressed in simple gray clothes, with neat short hair and a pair of large, almond-shaped eyes. His hair was much thicker than average, and it was silver. If he shaved his beard, he would definitely be a handsome man.

After entering the hotel, the four of them found a place to sit down at random. The chubby guy took the menu, ordered some dishes, and then waited for them to be served.

While waiting, the chubby boy's eyes darted around, and soon he spotted Xiao Yi and his two companions.

"Hey Boss Dai, look over there, those breasts and legs, tsk tsk tsk, it would be so great to get my hands on them." The chubby guy whispered to the blond man, his face flushed, looking quite lewd.

"Huh? Fatty, when did your taste become so good?" The blond man looked in the direction the fat man was looking when he heard what the fat man said. He found that Dugu Yan's figure was indeed very good, so he prepared to go up and chat her up.

"Go ahead, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong," the middle-aged man said.

The chubby boy is naturally Ma Hongjun, the blond man is Dai Mubai, and the middle-aged man is naturally Zhao Wuji.

In his early years, Zhao Wuji was a troublemaker who loved to cause trouble. Later, he injured an innocent person in a fight and was wanted by the Spirit Hall. He then went to Shrek Academy to become a teacher and hid for more than ten years. However, old habits die hard. He was the one who came up with Shrek Academy's motto, "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

Dai Mubai straightened his appearance and walked towards Xiao Yi and the other two.

"This beautiful lady, my name is Dai Mubai. May I introduce myself?" Dai Mubai said, striking a flamboyant pose after walking over to Xiao Yi and the other two.

Since Dugu Bo looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties and was only dressed in simple clothes, Dai Mubai felt that this person did not seem to be very strong. Even if something happened, Teacher Zhao would take the blame. Xiao Yi looked to be only two years older than him and his strength was probably about the same, so there was nothing to worry about.

However, the three of them seemed oblivious to Dai Mubai, continuing to eat as they pleased, while Xiao Yi occasionally added food to Dugu Yan's bowl.

Seeing that the three were eating and ignoring him, Dai Mubai felt a little embarrassed, so he spoke up again, "Miss, would it be convenient for us to get to know each other?"

This time, Xiao Yi and the other two finally looked up. In fact, they had already heard Dai Mubai and the others talking, but they didn't care. After all, if a dog barks next to you, you can't bite it back, can you?

"It's inconvenient. I overheard what you were saying. Get out of here while I'm in a good mood," Dugu Yan said, putting down her chopsticks.

"You filthy bitch, it's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you. Do you really think you can look down on everyone just because you have a bit of looks?" Dai Mubai was embarrassed by Dugu Yan's words and retorted angrily.

"I don't need you to look at me, you can go back to where you came from." Dugu Yan stood up, clearly intending to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

"Yan Yan, sit down, leave it to me." At this moment, Xiao Yi stood up and said gently to Dugu Yan.

When Dugu Yan saw Xiao Yi stand up, she knew he was about to make a move, so she sat down to watch the show.

"Kid, you dare to meddle in my business?" Dai Mubai said to Xiao Yi with an arrogant attitude.

"She's my girlfriend, why shouldn't I care? Besides, you're just having a meal, why are you staring at a girl's body and saying such offensive things? Didn't your teacher teach you what respect is?"

"How our teachers teach is none of your business. Our school motto is: those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. If you disagree, then let's have a fight."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi realized that it was Shrek Academy. Oh, it's alright then. When he graduated from the junior academy, a certain master even suggested that he go to Shrek Academy. Luckily, he didn't go, otherwise he would have picked up bad habits sooner or later. However, judging from Dai Mubai's appearance, it seems that he is here to obtain his third spirit ring. That chubby guy should be Ma Hongjun. The two of them are not good people. Since they have offended him, he might as well teach them a lesson.

"Then don't say I'm bullying you."

"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul: White Tiger, Level 30 Power Attack Type Great Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

After Dai Mubai's martial soul was attached to his body, it suddenly burst out with a pale white light, his muscles suddenly expanded, his full head of golden hair instantly turned black and white with white as the main color, a "king" shaped pattern appeared on his forehead, his hands grew to twice their size, his palms were covered with white hair, and eight-inch-long dagger-like claws could be extended from his palms, and his four pupils turned into a deep blue.

Xiao Yi had no time for wasting words with him and directly revealed his spirit rings. The five spirit rings, disguised as yellow, purple, and black, slowly rose up.

When Dai Mubai saw Xiao Yi's spirit ring, he couldn't help but swallow hard, knowing that he had really messed up this time. However, he had to bear the consequences of his actions, even if it was painful.

"White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!" Dai Mubai took the lead, releasing his first and second soul skills.

Xiao Yi immediately dodged when he saw Dai Mubai release his soul skill. He then used his fourth soul skill, Gravity Control, and followed up with Explosive Step to get within a foot of Dai Mubai and knock him unconscious.

"It's good to be young, you can fall asleep as soon as you lie down." After Dai Mubai passed out, Xiao Yi put away his martial spirit and muttered to himself.

After witnessing Xiao Yi's spirit ring and Dai Mubai's instant death, the chubby Ma Hongjun began to feel fear and could only pray that Xiao Yi would not cause him any trouble.

"Little Fatty, it's your turn." Just as Ma Hongjun was praying in his heart, Xiao Yi turned around and looked over.

"Young man, there's no need for that. After all, they only said a few things to your girlfriend; they didn't cause any real harm," Zhao Wuji said.

"What if I say no?" Xiao Yi countered.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhao Wuji stood up.

"As expected, like teacher, like student; a crooked beam leads to a crooked beam," Xiao Yi mocked.

"It seems the Soul Master world has forgotten my title of Immovable King after so long of inactivity." Zhao Wuji cracked his knuckles, preparing to make a move.
