"Oh? Grandpa, are you trying to test the defensive power of my Thousand-Jin Battle Armor?" Dai Weisi curled his lips into a grin. He took a step back, keeping a distance of fifty meters from Dai Tianxing, and then laughed.
"Since Grandpa wants to try, then come on!"
"Good! Dai Weisi, be careful!"
With a roar like a raging tiger, Dai Tianxing instantly completed his Martial Soul Possession. His veins bulged, his blood surged, and his bones and muscles strengthened dozens of times over!
Two yellow, two purple, and five black—nine spirit rings descended in order, finally floating beneath his feet.
In the next instant, Dai Tianxing gathered his soul power, and suddenly, his second spirit ring radiated a faint yellow light.
"Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Light Wave!"
The first three soul skills of the Dai family had been refined through centuries of research, producing the most optimal configuration. Therefore, every Dai clan spirit master possessed the exact same first three skills. The only difference lay in the varying age of the spirit rings absorbed.
Dai Tianxing inhaled deeply, white light glowing from his mouth. A milky-white sphere condensed before bursting into a tennis ball-sized light bullet, which shot forward at great speed, scraping sparks through the air.
"Heh!"
Faced with Dai Tianxing's second soul skill, Dai Weisi merely smirked. He didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he placed his hands on his hips, lifted his chin proudly, and prepared to take the White Tiger Light Wave head-on with the Thousand-Jin Battle Armor!
After all, the second soul skill was only a century-level ability, while the Thousand-Jin Battle Armor was a hundred-thousand-year soul skill. If it couldn't even withstand a century skill, that would be utterly humiliating.
Boom—
With a thunderous bang, the light bullet struck Dai Weisi's chest and immediately exploded, producing secondary damage.
The blast whipped up sand and rocks, filling the air with dust and smoke, engulfing Dai Weisi's figure completely.
On the sidelines, Zhu Lingyun's expression tightened in worry for Dai Weisi. She shot Dai Tianxing a sharp glare, her eyes saying: You old man, sparring with your grandson is one thing, but did you really need to use soul skills? If Dai Weisi gets hurt, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!
Dai Tianxing naturally caught her gaze. His mouth twitched awkwardly, not daring to meet her fierce, tigress-like stare. He quickly shifted his focus back to Dai Weisi.
But as the smoke cleared, the universal law of "smoke but no injury" held true—Dai Weisi stood there perfectly unscathed.
After taking the full brunt of the White Tiger Light Wave, the jet-black Thousand-Jin Battle Armor hadn't even sustained a scratch. What's more, Dai Weisi hadn't even taken a single step back!
"What an incredible set of armor!"
Dai Tianxing's eyes gleamed. After all, men remain boys at heart, and who could resist such an indestructible, imposing, and awe-inspiring suit of armor?
"Grandpa, your second soul skill is useless against me."
"So it seems. Since century skills are ineffective, let me show you a millennium skill instead! Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Tianxing's muscles swelled, his body expanding to over two meters tall, his frame thickening noticeably. In the next instant, he launched forward in a sudden burst.
Though he was a power-attack type spirit master, his speed was astonishing. Even Dai Weisi's pupils dilated in shock. "Such speed!"
By the time Dai Weisi reacted, Dai Tianxing was already behind him. A cold voice followed:
"Dai Weisi, how many times have I told you since childhood—never expose your back to the enemy during battle!"
Dai Tianxing turned his fist into a palm, gathering thirty percent of his soul power into it before striking out!
The strike was heavy and ferocious, shaking the very air. Though it had yet to land, Dai Weisi could already hear the howling force tearing through the void.
Clouds follow the dragon, winds follow the tiger—this strike seemed to summon the gales of heaven and earth. Dai Weisi even had a chilling premonition that his Thousand-Jin Battle Armor might not withstand it.
Hurriedly, Dai Weisi poured more soul power into the soul bone, reinforcing the armor.
Bang—
The palm crashed against Dai Weisi's back with an earth-shaking detonation. The sound sent nearby spirit beasts fleeing in panic.
Dai Weisi staggered forward, stumbling awkwardly before falling hard to the ground.
"Huh? That didn't hurt at all?"
Though he had fallen, it was merely from being shoved off balance, not because he was injured.
"The Thousand-Jin Battle Armor… it's actually this tough…" Dai Tianxing's expression turned grim. He withdrew his hand slowly, lips tightening.
Then came pain.
An unbearable, bone-deep agony surged through his arm, as if the bones of his palm had shattered.
He had just unleashed thirty percent of his soul power and his full physical strength. Though Dai Weisi had only toppled, Dai Tianxing himself was far from fine.
The Thousand-Jin Battle Armor was truly indestructible—but force is always mutual. His strike rebounded violently, making his tiger's mouth throb in pain, his palm and arm bones feeling as though they were splitting apart.
"Grandpa, are you okay? You… don't look so good." Dai Weisi turned and asked.
"Cough, cough. I'm fine." Dai Tianxing took a deep breath, channeling soul power into his palm to ease the pain. "Enough. Put away the Thousand-Jin Battle Armor, we should head back."
"Oh?" Dai Weisi smirked mischievously. "Grandpa, are you sure you don't want to test it further? You could use your full power—I'm confident my Thousand-Jin Battle Armor could handle it."
"No, no, that won't be necessary! Grandpa already believes in its defense!"
Dai Tianxing waved his hands quickly. Just thirty percent of his power had nearly shattered his palm. If he unleashed his Martial Soul True Body and went all out, even if Dai Weisi took damage, his own injuries would be catastrophic—wouldn't his palm bones be completely shattered?
Satisfied with the armor's resilience, Dai Tianxing spoke earnestly: "Dai Weisi, with this Thousand-Jin Battle Armor, even if a Titled Douluo targets you, you'll still have a means to protect yourself.
But remember my warning—unless your life is truly on the line, never use the Thousand-Jin Ant Emperor's Left Leg Bone. That will only bring endless trouble."
Dai Weisi nodded firmly. "Grandpa, I understand. I won't expose it lightly."
"Good. It's getting late. We've been out far too long—it's time we return."
Dai Tianxing glanced at Zhu Lingyun. With years of shared life, just one look was enough for them to understand each other.
With Zhu Lingyun carrying Dai Weisi, the three quickly flew back toward Star Luo City. As they departed the Star Dou Forest, Dai Weisi cast one last glance at its core region, silently vowing in his heart:
Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, and that rogue rabbit… One day, you will all belong to me!
