Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 323: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Barrier!"

"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

Dai Mubai roared as soul power surged from his body, instantly unleashing two powerful soul skills.

The first three skills of the White Tiger Martial Soul were considered the signature moves of the Star Luo Empire—simple but effective. These skills had high amplification rates and wide attack areas, making them useful even at mid-to-high-level soul master stages. The third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, despite being a thousand-year soul skill, provided amplification effects surpassing most ten-thousand-year skills.

When the two soul skills were stacked together, Dai Mubai's aura surged dramatically. The long bloodstains on his body were squeezed shut by his taut muscles, stopping the bleeding. His body swelled significantly, and a shield of metallic soul power materialized around him.

The White Tiger Barrier was a defensive soul skill that created a metallic soul power shield around the user, amplifying metallic attributes to a certain extent.

The White Tiger Vajra Transformation was an amplification soul skill with a duration of 30 minutes, during which it doubled the user's strength, attack, defense, and resistance to abnormal effects.

Simple, brutal, powerful, and effective.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned icy cold as she tried to leave more claw marks on Dai Mubai, but when her claws collided with the shield created by the White Tiger Barrier, a metallic clanging sound echoed. Her claws couldn't pierce through the barrier's defense.

Taking advantage of this moment, Dai Mubai grinned viciously and swiped his claws at Zhu Zhuqing. In the blink of an eye, he left several wounds on her back.

The White Tiger Martial Soul was primarily an assault-type martial soul, but as a feline, speed and reflexes were never its weak points. The reason it was categorized as assault-type was due to its overwhelming attack power. The White Tiger Martial Soul could even be developed along an agility-based path.

Zhu Zhuqing, unable to evade Dai Mubai's tiger claws due to the sudden attack, was left with a deep wound on her body. She groaned in pain, her steps faltering as she staggered.

At this moment, Dai Mubai's eyes gleamed with ferocity. Instead of restraining his soul power, he pushed it even further.

"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Light Wave!"

A glowing ball of energy formed in Dai Mubai's mouth as he prepared to launch it at Zhu Zhuqing. His ruthless actions no longer resembled an evaluation or sparring match but a life-or-death battle. Even Zhao Wuji, observing from the sidelines, couldn't bear to watch.

Zhu Zhuqing endured the searing pain and narrowly dodged the light wave, but Dai Mubai seized the opportunity to grab her arm. Grinning savagely, he swung his claws toward her face. At that critical moment, Zhao Wuji roared.

"Enough!"

Seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—appeared around Zhao Wuji. At some point, he had already activated his Martial Soul, the Vigorous Vajra Bear. The oppressive pressure of his Soul Sage-level aura immediately bore down on Dai Mubai, forcing him to acknowledge Zhao Wuji's presence.

Zhao Wuji strode forward quickly, glaring at Dai Mubai, who pretended as if nothing had happened.

Even though Zhao Wuji was known for being protective of his students, he wasn't foolish. It was clear that Dai Mubai's attack wasn't part of the evaluation but a deliberate attempt to harm Zhu Zhuqing.

A senior-level Soul Elder using top-tier martial soul techniques to attack a two-ring Soul Master under the guise of an evaluation—Zhao Wuji was so furious that he almost wanted to scold him outright. If Dai Mubai weren't a student of Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji might have taught him a lesson with a Vigorous Vajra Palm to show him what it meant to bully the weak.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's back, where deep bloodstains marred her pale skin, her face slightly pale and dazed, Zhao Wuji turned and shouted at Li Yusong, who had been watching the commotion. He barked impatiently:

"Old Li, what are you standing there for? Go get some recovery candy!"

"Tch, you're always ordering people around," Li Yusong grumbled but quickly ran toward the village. Before long, he returned, carrying a middle-aged man with an apron slung over his shoulder.

Zhao Wuji had intended for Li Yusong to fetch recovery candies from Shao Xin, but to ensure that Shrek Academy wouldn't face retaliation from the Star Luo Empire or the Zhu family, Li Yusong had directly brought Shao Xin back.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's injuries and pale complexion, Shao Xin frowned and glanced disapprovingly at both Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai. Then, he summoned his Martial Soul. Seven soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—appeared around him.

"Honey Sweet Candy."

"Tangy Lemon Candy."

Shao Xin's second and fourth soul rings lit up, conjuring two candies in his hand. Zhu Zhuqing took them and swallowed them without hesitation.

Support-type soul masters were notoriously difficult to cultivate, and food-type soul masters were the most challenging among them. In this era, there had never been a food-type Title Douluo. Despite this, Shao Xin's status as a food-type Soul Sage made him one of the top five food-type soul masters of his time.

Although not a healing-type soul master, Shao Xin's candies had healing effects comparable to those of Soul Sage-level healing soul masters.

As soon as the candies melted in Zhu Zhuqing's mouth, they transformed into gentle soul power that flowed through her body. Her complexion improved visibly.

The honey candy healed her injuries and eased her pain, while the lemon candy restored her soul power and provided a mental boost. With Shao Xin's cultivation level, even a Soul Sage would feel significant effects from the candies.

Moments after consumption, Zhu Zhuqing's condition had already recovered by 80–90%. The wounds on her back stopped bleeding and began to heal rapidly, leaving only faint scars. Given her soul master physique and the stimulation of soul power, even those faint scars would disappear within days.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's improvement, Shao Xin's expression softened. However, he still shot a sharp glare at Dai Mubai, whose fiery temper was now subdued, and he avoided making eye contact.

Shao Xin's abilities were underutilized at Shrek Academy. Even in the two great empires or the Spirit Hall, a food-type Soul Sage like him would have been highly valued. Although he wasn't comparable to a Title Douluo, his status exceeded that of most ordinary Soul Douluos.

Shao Xin had only stayed at Shrek Academy because he had been tricked by Flender in his early years. Over time, he developed an attachment to the academy despite its humble status. Additionally, Shrek Academy had accepted a food-type genius, Oscar, as a student, further persuading Shao Xin to remain.

Dai Mubai didn't dare to meet Shao Xin's gaze, though this didn't mean he wasn't harboring resentment.

Of course, his resentment wasn't directed at Shao Xin or Zhao Wuji—he wouldn't dare. As someone relying on Shrek Academy for protection, Dai Mubai wouldn't risk offending the vice dean or the academy's teachers.

Instead, he directed his grudge toward Zhu Zhuqing. While he didn't show it outwardly, Dai Mubai was already plotting how to harm her.

Yes, in Dai Mubai's mind, this was revenge.

As for his responsibility?

To Dai Mubai, such a concept simply didn't exist.
