On the contrary, he would be happy to see Ning Chuan lose to the man before him. Then, after seeing the difference in strength, Xiao Wu might even give up on him. Then, if he were to take on this man again, without resorting to hidden weapons or his second spirit, even if he couldn't defeat him, he would have a 50% chance of remaining undefeated.
"Dai Mubai, spirit, White Tiger, level 37 Strong Attack War Spirit Master, please teach me."
Dai Mubai formally challenged Ning Chuan.
Facing Dai Mubai's challenge, Ning Chuan appeared remarkably calm and composed. With a serene expression, he slowly raised his right hand.
A cyan light suddenly surged, and a three-foot-long emerald green sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The moment the sword appeared, the air in the entire hotel lobby seemed oppressive, as if a massive, sharp sword were hanging overhead.
"Ningchuan, spirit, bamboo sword, thirty-three-level Battle Spirit Master, please teach me."
"What a beautiful sword! Is this Xiao Liuzi's spirit?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. This was the first time she had seen Ningchuan unleash his spirit.
Tang San frowned. This spirit seemed different from before, no longer so useless. And there seemed to be something indescribable about it, and his spirit power.
Thirty-three, how could that be possible? Ningchuan's innate spirit power was only half a level. Didn't the teacher say he would never be able to break through to level thirty? How did he break through, and even surpass himself in spirit power?
Even if that incompetent dean had given him drugs, it wouldn't have been possible this quickly!
"Ningchuan, just how strong are you now?"
Thinking of this, Tang San clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Ningchuan with his now-opened Purple Demonic Pupils. At this moment, he began to sink into self-doubt.
Dai Mubai nearly stumbled. "You call this a bamboo sword?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see the extraordinary nature of this weapon spirit. If this was considered a bamboo sword, then what were the weapon spirits he'd seen before?
"Bamboo Sword is just the abbreviation for my spirit. Its full name is Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword."
Ning Chuan publicly revealed the name of his spirit for the first time.
"What about your spirit rings?"
Dai Mubai could sense that Ning Chuan's spirit power had reached the Soul Master level, yet he couldn't see any.
"If I can force my spirit skills, I'll let you know."
Ning Chuan had hidden his spirit rings. This wasn't difficult; it just required mastering the technique. However, he hadn't yet achieved the fusion of spirit rings and spirit like the original Sword Douluo, so he couldn't use his spirit skills while hiding his spirit rings.
"Nice Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword! Let me experience the wonders of your spirit."
Dai Mubai moved, gliding in front of Ning Chuan. His two tiger claws, each with ten fingers, simultaneously released sharp blades, grappling with Ning Chuan's body.
Dang!
Dai Mubai's two tiger claws were blocked by Ning Chuan's single-handed sword, sparks flying everywhere.
Ning Chuan swung his sword horizontally, sending Dai Mubai flying even faster than before.
"His strength is even greater than mine."
Dai Mubai's expression was even more astonished than when he had previously exchanged blows with Tang San. At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his palm, which had just come into contact with Ning Chuan's sword.
Fortunately, it was the sharp blade of the tiger claw that had just come into contact with the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, otherwise he had no doubt that his tiger paw would have been cut.
Buzz—
a terrifying sword chant rang out, and Ning Chuan swung his sword, dragging it across the ground, his entire body moving in a curved pattern as he rushed towards the backward-flying Dai Mubai.
"So fast!" Dai Mubai had barely landed on his heels, barely stabilizing himself when he saw Ning Chuan charging towards him. With no time to react, he instinctively raised his tiger claws and crossed his arms.
At the same moment, his first spirit ring ignited, its yellow light radiating brilliantly, forming a white shield that enveloped him.
He planned to rely on his own powerful spirit power, the tiger claws imbued with his martial spirit, and his first spirit skill, the White Tiger Body Barrier, to withstand Ning Chuan's attack.
Clang—
about five steps away from Dai Mubai, Ning Chuan suddenly changed his sword stance, leaping high into the air, his sword grasped in his backhand, and slashing down.
"What is this?" Tang San's expression was horrified, a purple light pulsing in his eyes, as if he sensed the terrifying power of Ning Chuan's strike.
Bang!
Dai Mubai's White Tiger Body Barrier was directly cleaved, and the sword blade slashed across his arms, its blade imbued with spirit power, sending him flying against the wall.
This move, developed by Ning Chuan based on his first soul skill, Sword Light, allows him to unleash sword energy before even moving. With Tang Ritian's power bank, he didn't have to worry about misdirecting his soul power and causing harm while practicing. While its power was only a third of his first soul skill's, it could be controlled freely, greatly enhancing his close combat abilities.
"How is this possible?" Dai Mubai exclaimed in shock. He had thought he'd overestimated Ning Chuan's strength, but he hadn't imagined his opponent's power was even more terrifying. Furthermore, he could unleash sword energy without relying on soul skills at the Soul Master level.
If he hadn't activated the White Tiger Body Barrier, he would have sustained significant damage from this attack.
He doubted his two tiger paws could withstand the opponent's Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.
Ning Chuan wasn't going to play a turn-based game with him, let alone give him a break.
A cyan sword light swirled around the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword like flames. His sword power was so powerful, the azure light blinding him. His eyes reflected the azure sword light, as if a cyan flame flickered within them. With each strike, sand and rocks flew, leaving hideous sword marks on the ground.
"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
With the lesson learned from his previous experience, Dai Mubai dared not hold back. He unleashed his full force, reaching level 37. His third soul ring ignited, enveloping him in a blanket of intense golden light. His entire form suddenly expanded, and even the blades flicking from his ten fingers turned silver.
He instantly completed the second stage of his transformation. He swung his silver-bladed tiger claws, clashing with the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. As
the two clashed, Ning Chuan, with his unstoppable sword energy, instantly and without using any soul skills, doubled Dai Mubai's resistance to the abnormalities of his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his attack power, defense, and strength, and pinned him down. Dai Mubai, who possessed four soul power levels higher than him, was now four soul power levels stronger.
And as the battle continued, the quality gap and combat experience between the martial souls became apparent.
Although the White Tiger can be regarded as a top-level beast martial soul.
But the quality of the martial soul is definitely not as good as the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, which transfers all the side effects to Tang Ritian.
Not to mention the combat experience, Dai Mubai has only fought with soul masters of the same level at most.
But Ning Chuan has even fought against Soul Douluo.
Almost every time he has a holiday, he will go to the Anxiang Sword Family to fight those high-level soul masters.
Although he is beaten badly every time, who can blame him for having Tang Ritian, that big enemy.
