"A Soul King-level Martial Soul Fusion Technique. I wonder if it can withstand my attack."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan immediately used his second Soul Skill. Flame Lord's Arm, quickly conjuring a massive arm and smashing it towards the Black Turtle Divine Beast's body.
BOOM!!
A loud bang resounded, but the Black Turtle Divine Beast remained completely unmoved, easily blocking the attack.
Seeing this, Yan's brows furrowed, thinking to himself, 'This Martial Soul Fusion Technique's defense is so formidable; it's probably reached the level of a defensive Soul Emperor. I wonder how it fares offensively.'
Before he could think further, the Black Turtle Divine Beast suddenly opened its massive mouth and violently spewed out a concentrated beam of energy.
There was no time to dodge, so Yan could only use Flame Lord's Arm again to block the attack. But the very next second, he was blasted away like a cannonball.
Reacting quickly, Ma Hongjun immediately used his third Soul Skill to fly into the air and catch him, preventing Yan from being knocked off the arena.
"A perfect opportunity!"
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng was overjoyed. This was precisely when the Spirit Hall team's formation was at its weakest.
Under Tang San's arrangement, the arena was divided into two battlefields: one where Tang San fought the Demon Charm alone, and the other a six-on-five situation. Furthermore, after being struck by the Black Turtle Divine Beast, Yan and Ma Hongjun were temporarily separated from the main battlefield and unable to support their teammates.
Dai Mubai alone couldn't protect Oscar and Xu Yu, making this an excellent opportunity to attack.
"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!"
"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Lightning Dragon Swiftness!"
Yu Tianheng used two Soul Skills simultaneously, instantly condensing a small blue lightning dragon and aiming it directly at the support-type Soul Master, Xu Yu.
With Ning Rongrong's amplification, this attack was almost comparable to the fifth Soul Skill of a Soul King.
Facing the rapidly approaching Blue Lightning Dragon, Dai Mubai glanced at Xu Yu behind him, seemingly considering whether to block the attack for him.
In an instant, the Blue Lightning Dragon was already charging toward them.
However, Dai Mubai did not choose to intervene, letting the Blue Lightning Dragon pass by him just a few meters away.
After his brutal battle with Dai Weisi, he had discovered the flaws of his mutated Martial Soul. Although his attack power and speed had increased, his defense had been reduced by nearly half, and he was highly prone to losing his rationality. If he chose to take the attack head-on, even if he successfully saved Xu Yu, he would be seriously injured and might not be able to participate in the rest of the battle.
As the saying goes, "Better to sacrifice a friend than oneself." He would not sacrifice himself for his teammates.
Seeing Dai Mubai standing by, Xu Yu was furious. He immediately held up his golden scepter, which emitted a radiant golden light to form a defensive barrier.
However, this golden barrier only held off the Blue Lightning Dragon for a moment before exploding with a bang.
Immediately afterward, Xu Yu was blasted out of the arena, landing heavily on the ground with his head lolling to the side, completely unconscious. Lingering lightning energy crackled across his body.
"That bastard!"
Seeing this, Yan was instantly enraged.
Although Xu Yu wasn't from the Golden Generation, and their relationship wasn't particularly close, as a support-type Soul Master, his importance to the team wasn't much less than a Soul King's. Yet, Dai Mubai had simply betrayed him.
"Little Oscar, give me the sausage!"
A resolute glint flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes as he turned to Oscar beside him, his tone heavy.
Now, he had to give it his all! If he lost this match, Spirit Hall would definitely not let him off the hook; he had to win.
"Boss Dai, are you sure you've thought this through?"
"Hurry up!"
Seeing that Dai Mubai had made up his mind, Oscar sighed, immediately created two strangely shaped sausages, and handed them over.
Looking at the two sausages in his hand, Dai Mubai took a deep breath and stuffed them into his mouth.
The next moment, a terrifyingly powerful aura erupted from his body.
Sensing this aura, which felt like that of a prehistoric beast, Yu Tianheng and the others stopped in their tracks, their expressions grave as they watched Dai Mubai.
After consuming the two sausages, Dai Mubai's body swelled considerably. His height approached three meters, completely transforming him into a bipedal beast. His blood-red eyes contained boundless killing intent; he had completely lost his reason.
In the spectator area, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile, saying smugly, "This is the wisdom of this master! The berserk Dai Mubai is comparable to a Soul Emperor! I've won the bet!"
At the same time, Lin Mu was led by Qian Renxue to a private rest room.
Seeing Qian Renxue dressed as a woman again, Lin Mu frowned slightly, a thought creeping into his mind: 'What does this woman want now?'
Just as he was wondering, Qian Renxue approached and forced him onto the sofa. Then, she sat directly on his lap, leaning close to his ear. Her breath was sweet as orchids as she whispered, "Now that you know my identity, you only have two choices."
"Oh?"
"I want you to become my person and help me seize the Heaven Dou Empire. Otherwise, you'll be my enemy, and I'll have to imprison you to a secret chamber from now on."
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Mu, her tone carrying an unyielding, domineering air.
After all, this concerned her grand scheme of seizing the Heaven Dou Empire, and she had to be cautious. If Lin Mu exposed her identity, wouldn't all her years of undercover work have been for nothing? Moreover, considering the high price she had already paid, Lin Mu should rightfully help her take control of the empire.
Seeing Qian Renxue's assertiveness, Lin Mu smiled calmly, lightly pinching her smooth, white chin with his hand. He teased, "With your meager strength, you think you can imprison me?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was speechless. It felt like a lamb threatening the butcher. If anyone was going to imprison anyone, it was definitely him imprisoning her.
Immediately, Qian Renxue conceded, saying, "As long as you're willing to help me seize the throne, I'll agree to anything."
"You really want to be an emperor that badly?" Lin Mu countered.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue fell silent.
She had originally chosen to become an undercover agent partly to prove her abilities, and partly to gain control of the Heaven Dou Empire, thereby challenging Bibi Dong's dominance. But after so many years in the role, she had gradually developed a genuine obsession with the throne.
Seeing her silence, Lin Mu suddenly changed his tone, saying calmly, "I can guarantee I won't support the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and even helping you ascend to the throne isn't out of the question. But it's absolutely impossible for me to take orders from you."
To him, it was better to let Qian Renxue rule the Heaven Dou Empire than to let Xue Beng become the final winner. Although Qian Renxue was an imposter, it wasn't a huge problem; no one would know anyway. Especially since Qian Renxue was a woman, she couldn't pass the throne to the next generation, unless Lin Mu somehow managed to provide her with an heir.
In any case, even if Qian Renxue inherited the throne, she wouldn't rule forever. After she reached level 100 and became a god, she would find a suitable successor.
"When did you become so agreeable?" Qian Renxue asked, surprised.
Seeing her reaction, Lin Mu immediately said irritably, "Do I look like a cold-hearted person?"
"Don't you?"
