Hearing that familiar line, Gu Chen didn't even need to turn his head to know that the newcomer was none other than the Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai.
Tang San and the others turned around to see three people approaching from behind, heading toward the counter.
Two of them were young women, dressed in eye-catching attire. Their appearances were similar, clearly a pair of twins.
Walking between them was a broad-shouldered young man with long golden hair that reached his waist. His eyes were peculiar—double pupils in each eye, deep blue with a cold gleam.
Dai Mubai walked up to the counter and looked at the attendant, asking, "You must be new here, huh? Don't you know there's always a room reserved for me?"
The attendant was momentarily stunned and cautiously asked, "And you are?"
Dai Mubai grew impatient. "Call your manager out here."
Tang San blurted out, "What brand of trash bag are you? You sure can hold a lot."
The moment he finished speaking, he regretted it, silently scolding himself—he had been corrupted by Gu Chen! Taunting someone without knowing their strength was not a wise move.
Dai Mubai's cold and eerie gaze fell on Tang San as he nodded slightly. "Very good. It's been a long time since anyone has dared to talk to me like that. You all have soul power fluctuations, so you must be Soul Masters, right? Then come at me together. If you can defeat me, I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, get lost!"
Only now did Gu Chen turn around. Dai Mubai's words included Gu Yuena in the insult. A dragon has its reverse scale, and Gu Yuena was his!
Just as Gu Chen was about to step in, Gu Yuena grabbed his hand. "For the past five years, you've always protected us. This time, let me do it. Don't worry, I used my spiritual power to assess his strength—he's far weaker than me!"
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena's pride would not allow her to be treated like some fragile vase that needed constant protection!
Gu Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding and letting go. He was well aware of how terrifying Gu Yuena's spiritual power was.
Over the past five years, he had completed over a hundred daily choices through the system. Upon reaching the fiftieth choice, he unlocked an appraisal function, and by the hundredth choice, he gained the ability to view others' attributes.
He had seen Gu Yuena's spiritual power attributes—it was more than five times his own.
To put things in perspective, after consuming the system's reward, the Autumn Dew Condensation, his spiritual power had reached a staggering 5000 points, equivalent to that of an average Soul King.
And five times the spiritual power of a Soul King… that was at least the level of a Soul Sage!
As Gu Yuena, an absolutely stunning girl, stepped forward, Dai Mubai frowned, feeling insulted. "What's this? You're sending a weak little girl to fight me?"
Looking at Gu Yuena's breathtaking face, Dai Mubai hesitated to hurt her and instead offered, "Why don't you follow me? I'll protect you. Unlike them, who are just pushing you out as a shield."
Crack!
Gu Chen clenched his fists tightly, resisting the urge to explode with fury. He knew that if he interfered with Gu Yuena's fight, she would only resent him for it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gu Yuena's expression turned icy at Dai Mubai's words. With a wave of her hand, three sharp wind blades shot forth.
She hadn't even activated her Martial Soul—she had simply controlled the elements through her overwhelming spiritual power. This kind of attack had incredible concealment.
Dai Mubai never expected such a powerful attack from someone who hadn't even released their Martial Soul. He quickly retreated and activated his Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul, barely managing to block the attack.
"Let's talk! Let's talk! No need to fight!" At that moment, the attendant from earlier hurriedly returned with a middle-aged man, his face full of anxiety.
Dai Mubai shot him a glance. "Manager Wang, you guys are really running your business well these days, huh?"
Manager Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed nervously. "Young Master Dai, please don't say that! It was just a mistake by my staff—this young man only started yesterday and wasn't aware of the rules. I apologize! I'll arrange a room for you right away."
Turning to Gu Chen's group, he said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, dear guests, but that last room was already booked by Young Master Dai. If one room isn't enough, please find another inn."
"Hm?" Gu Yuena's expression darkened. Her fight had been interrupted by this Manager Wang, and she was not pleased.
Suddenly—Silver Dragon King Martial Soul, attached!
Purple. Purple. Black! Three soul rings rose from beneath her feet.
That second purple ring—it wasn't just purple, but a deep, near-black purple, meaning it was at least 9000 years old!
An overwhelming pressure crushed down on Manager Wang, rendering him motionless. Gu Yuena looked at Dai Mubai and said coldly, "If you want to fight, then let's continue!"
"A ten-thousand-year soul ring?! How is that possible?!"
Under the Dragon's Might of the Silver Dragon King—a supreme soul beast lineage—Dai Mubai's Evil Eye White Tiger was utterly suppressed, reducing his strength drastically. He couldn't even summon the will to fight!
"Gu Yuena. Martial Soul: Seven-Colored Dragon. Rank 39 Soul Elder!" she announced coldly.
Dai Mubai broke out in a cold sweat. This fight… was unavoidable!
"First Soul Skill: Elemental Tide!"
Gu Yuena's delicate voice rang out as her light purple soul ring shone. A radiant seven-colored light enveloped her.
She stomped lightly—instantly, the ground beneath her froze, ice rapidly spreading toward Dai Mubai. In a flash, crystalline frost reached his feet!
Dai Mubai shuddered and dared not hold back. He activated his third soul skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and his first soul skill, White Tiger Barrier.
But Gu Yuena's ice was no ordinary ice! The chilling aura seeped through his defenses, making him feel an unbearable coldness.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the spatial element fluctuated—in the next instant, Gu Yuena appeared behind Dai Mubai, a blazing flame forming in her palm!
She struck!
Zzzzzz!
The sound of burning flesh filled the air as Dai Mubai let out a miserable cry, crashing to the ground. The scent of roasted meat spread through the room!
Gu Yuena showed no mercy. With a swift motion, she kicked Dai Mubai hard, sending him flying several meters before he crashed to the floor like a dead dog, landing right at Gu Chen's feet.
Just then, a light sword materialized in Gu Yuena's hand—formed purely from compressed light energy. She aimed straight for Dai Mubai's throat!
Seeing that the sword was only one centimeter away from piercing his neck, Gu Chen quickly intervened.
"Nana, stop! We don't have any deep grudges with him. Teaching him a lesson is enough!"
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Gu Yuena obediently withdrew her sword and stepped back to his side.
Dai Mubai, who had just escaped the clutches of death, was left with nothing but fear—and a newfound gratitude toward Gu Chen for stopping her.
He couldn't believe it. This incredibly beautiful girl was a lethal monster in battle! Every move was meant to kill!
"Hiss!" Enduring the pain, Dai Mubai stood up, the burns making him gasp. "You're here to enroll in Shrek Academy, right? If anyone troubles you there, just mention my name—Evil Eye White Tiger, Dai Mubai."
"I'll cover all damages here!" he told Manager Wang before limping out of the hotel.
