Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

A surge of confidence welled up in Meng Yiran's heart.

Zhao Wuji also looked at Xiao Wu, his brows furrowing slightly.

This pink-haired girl looks to be twelve or thirteen years old. She has a slender figure and a lively temperament, but she doesn't seem to be very strong at all.

There was no obvious fluctuation of soul power on her, at least not like Meng Yiran, who had a martial soul possessed and soul rings manifested.

Should we let her play?

Zhao Wuji sneered inwardly.

How much strength can a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl have?

At best, he'd be a newly initiated Soul Master, and probably someone who'd just broken through.

Should we let Dai Mubai fight her?

He was afraid that people would say that Zhao Wuji only bullied the weak.

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to refuse, he heard Chao Tianxiang ask, "Xiao Wu, are you sure?"

Chao Tianxiang's voice carried a hint of hesitation. She knew that Xiao Wu was quite strong, having earned the title of "Sister Xiao Wu" at the Beast Academy, but she didn't know exactly how strong she was.

Moreover, the opponent is a level 39 Soul Master, so the difference in soul power is obvious.

"I'm sure." Xiao Wu flicked her scorpion braid, her pink eyes looking at Dai Mubai with a sly glint in them. "Golden Hair, are you willing to fight me?"

Dai Mubai looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him, a disdainful smile curving his lips.

Does a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl even deserve to challenge him?

But Zhao Wuji had just refused his request to fight, and now this little girl was offering to fight on her own initiative. If he refused again, wouldn't it make him seem afraid?

Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji: "Teacher Zhao, since this little girl wants to fight, then I'll play along with her?"

Dai Mubai's voice was noticeably flippant, his heterochromatic eyes sweeping over Xiao Wu, a condescending smile playing on his lips.

In his view, this pink-haired girl was only twelve or thirteen years old. Even if she had great talent, she was at most at the level of a newly entered Soul Master.

He, at the age of fifteen, was a level thirty-nine Soul Master, only one step away from becoming a Soul Grandmaster, and was an outstanding figure among his peers in the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

Should I play along with her?

It was said lightly, but everyone could hear the disdain in it.

Zhao Wuji frowned and looked at Chao Tianxiang: "Senior, this..."

Zhao Wuji wanted to refuse, but Dai Mubai had already agreed, and the pink-haired girl didn't seem to be that strong.

Therefore, he had no choice but to agree.

Sending Dai Mubai into battle might seem like bullying the weak, but at least it would ensure that they get the spirit ring.

More importantly, after what happened last night, Zhao Wuji was already wary of Tang San and Cinderella and dared not offend them easily.

If we forcibly replace them now, what if those two little monsters don't cooperate again...?

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Wuji finally nodded: "Stop when you've made your point, don't hurt the young girl."

These words sound grand and dignified, but everyone can hear the perfunctoriness in them.

Dai Mubai grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, I know what I'm doing."

He stepped out of the crowd, stood in the open space, and beckoned to Xiao Wu with his finger: "Little sister, come on."

That arrogant attitude made Ma Hongjun from Shrek Academy chuckle, and Oscar breathed a sigh of relief.

With Boss Dai taking action, this spirit ring should be secure.

Tang San and Cinderella stood side by side at the back of the crowd, neither of them speaking.

Cinderella gently tugged at Tang San's sleeve and whispered, "This girl... is not simple."

Tang San nodded slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing remained expressionless, but a faint hint of mockery flashed in her cold eyes.

She knew Dai Mubai too well; this arrogant man would pay the price for his arrogance sooner or later.

Chao Tianxiang looked at Xiao Wu, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "Xiao Wu, be careful. After all, the opponent is a level 39 Soul Master."

Chapter 289 Xiao Wu VS Dai Mubai 1

"Okay, Grandma." Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, flicked her scorpion braid, and walked briskly to the opposite side of Dai Mubai.

She stopped, her pink eyes staring directly at Dai Mubai, her smile still on her face, but with a hint of cunning in it.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang in Xiaowu's mind: "Little sister Xiaowu, this guy is level 39, and his martial soul is the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, a top-tier offensive beast martial soul. But don't be afraid, I have the soul skill for you. As long as you get close, he will definitely lose."

Xiao Wu chuckled to herself, "Got it, Tianmeng. I've been itching to get started too."

Since sweeping aside all Soul Masters at the Beast Academy, Xiao Wu hasn't encountered a worthy opponent in a long time.

Those classmates couldn't even last a few moves against her; they gave up after a short while, making the fight pointless.

This blond guy in front of me isn't very strong, but he looks pretty annoying.

Xiao Wu flexed her wrists, her pink eyes locking onto Dai Mubai: "Hey, Golden Retriever, are you ready?"

Dai Mubai frowned and his face darkened when he heard the word "golden hair": "Little girl, watch your mouth. Don't cry if you lose later."

"Who's going to cry is still up in the air," Xiao Wu said, tilting her head with a bright smile.

"Insanity!"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, and his soul power suddenly erupted.

Three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from beneath his feet, and the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul instantly possessed him.

His body swelled up, his muscles bulged, white hair sprouted from under his skin, and his hands transformed into tiger claws, sharp nails gleaming coldly.

Those heterochromatic eyes became even sharper at that moment, and the pressure of a top-tier beast martial soul spread out.

The full power unleashed by a level 39 Soul Master was indeed astonishing.

On Shrek Academy's side, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but whistle: "Boss Dai is awesome!"

Oscar clenched his fist and whispered encouragement to Dai Mubai.

Zhao Wuji's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the arena.

He had made up his mind to intervene immediately if things went wrong.

Regardless of victory or defeat, we cannot allow Dai Mubai to hurt this little girl, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining to the Dragon God and Snake Goddess.

Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran remained calm. Meng Yiran even had a slight smile on her lips.

She knew Xiao Wu's strength all too well.

In the arena, after Dai Mubai completed the Martial Soul Possession, his gaze towards Xiao Wu became even more contemptuous: "Little girl, show me your Martial Soul and Soul Rings. Don't say I'm bullying you."

Xiao Wu shook her head, a hint of mockery flashing in her pink eyes: "I don't need to deal with you."

"What did you say?" Dai Mubai roared in anger.

He, a dignified level 39 Soul Master and the owner of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul, was actually looked down upon by a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

"court death!"

Dai Mubai let out a low roar, and the first yellow spirit ring under his feet lit up.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

A white halo enveloped his entire body, instantly increasing his defense by fifty percent.

This is his most frequently used starting stance, which can both enhance defense and prepare for subsequent attacks.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Mubai pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body rushed towards Xiao Wu like an arrow released from a bow.

The tiger's claws tore through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Xiao Wu's face.

This attack was extremely fast and powerful; if it were an ordinary Soul Master, they probably wouldn't even have time to react.

But Xiao Wu is not an ordinary Soul Master.

She is the human form of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Soft Bone Rabbit, possessing the instinctive combat awareness of a soul beast. With the assistance of the million-year-old spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the practical training she has received at the Beast Academy over the past few months, she has truly honed her skills.

In her eyes, Dai Mubai's movements were as slow as if they were in slow motion.

"too slow."

Xiao Wu said softly, turning her body slightly to the side.

The tiger's claws grazed her cheek, the resulting gust of wind ruffling her pink hair.

Dai Mubai was startled when his attack missed, but he reacted quickly, sweeping his tiger claws to grab Xiao Wu's shoulder.

However, Xiao Wu's movements were even faster.

She leaned back, her body moving like a boneless noodle, avoiding the grab at an incredible angle.

At the same time, his right leg lashed out like a whip, striking Dai Mubai's wrist precisely.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Dai Mubai felt a numbness in his wrist, and most of the force on the tiger claw was dissipated by this kick.

He was shocked. How could this girl be so strong?

But he was, after all, a level 39 Soul Master. Although his combat experience was not as rich as Xiao Wu's, his reaction speed was not slow.

Using the force of the kick, Dai Mubai spun around, his left leg sweeping towards Xiao Wu's waist like a steel whip.

This kick is so powerful that if it lands, it could shatter even a rock.

Xiao Wu neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

A sly glint flashed in his pink eyes, and the second yellow spirit ring beneath his feet quietly lit up.

"Second Soul Skill: Teleportation!"

Dai Mubai's left leg swept across, but only caught a fleeting afterimage.

Xiao Wu's figure appeared like a ghost three meters behind Dai Mubai, her pink scorpion braid drawing a graceful arc in the air.
