[Inside the Rose Hotel.]
[As Dai Mubai walked into the lobby with a pair of beautiful twin girls in his arms and confidently declared that the room belonged to him, Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, her expression filled with disdain and contempt.]
["You say it's yours, so it's yours?!"]
[After casting a casual glance at Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai ignored her and led the twin beauties straight to the front desk, speaking in a calm yet domineering tone.]
["You must be new here. Don't you know a room is always reserved for me?"]
[Seeing the receptionist still frozen in shock, Dai Mubai directly ordered them to call the general manager.]
[As the receptionist broke into a cold sweat and hurried off to find the manager, Tang San frowned slightly and stepped forward, stating that it seemed they had arrived first.]
[A conflict quickly erupted between the two sides.]
[Dai Mubai sneered with clear disdain, "Very well, it's been a long time since anyone dared speak to me like that. I see you're also Spirit Masters, so why don't you both come at me together? If you can defeat me, I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, get out!"]
"This guy is quite arrogant!"
White World, Heaven Water Academy.
Seeing Dai Mubai's overbearing attitude in the comparison video, combined with his handsome appearance and those striking heterochromatic eyes, he indeed carried a certain wicked charm mixed with dominance.
Shui Yue'er could not help but feel surprised.
"Though he is quite handsome, especially those unique eyes, which are undeniably special…"
"But compared to our White World's Male God Tang Chuan, he still falls far short!"
"Whether it's looks, intelligence, or strength, our Male God Tang Chuan is number one in the world!"
After briefly acknowledging Dai Mubai's appearance, Shui Yue'er's delicate face lit up with pride as she confidently declared Tang Chuan's superiority.
Beside her, Shui Binger could only sigh inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless.
Her younger sister was excellent in every aspect, whether in beauty or personality.
Unfortunately, she was far too obsessed with appearances.
And clearly, Shui Binger's opinion was in the minority within the Heaven Water Girls Group.
Hearing Shui Yue'er's praise, Yu Hairou, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, and the others all nodded in agreement, joining in enthusiastically.
"Yue'er is right! Our White World's Male God Tang Chuan is number one in the world… no, number one across both worlds!"
"After all, he not only possesses extraordinary talent and the potential to ascend to godhood, but he has also created so many powerful Spirit Ability combinations and self-created Spirit Skills. Who could possibly compare to that?"
[At this moment, the general manager of the Rose Hotel finally rushed over, repeatedly calling out 'Young Master Dai' as he apologized profusely.]
[Because Dai Mubai was a high-tier, long-term customer, the manager naturally sided with him and instead apologized to Tang San, explaining that the room had always been reserved for Dai Mubai and requesting that Tang San and Xiao Wu find another place.]
[Xiao Wu, however, was already irritated and refused to accept this, feeling they were being deliberately bullied.]
[Eventually, after Dai Mubai offered to compensate for any losses, he proposed settling the matter with a Spirit Duel and even told them to attack together.]
[Tang San, however, calmly stated that he had promised to protect Xiao Wu, and that this matter would be handled between men.]
[Thus, in the Rose Hotel lobby, Tang San and Dai Mubai began their battle, both summoning their Spirits and activating their Spirit Abilities.]
[However, Dai Mubai was already a Spirit Elder, while Tang San was only a Spirit Grandmaster with Blue Silver Grass as his Spirit.]
[Although Tang San initially managed to restrain Dai Mubai, once Dai Mubai activated his third Spirit Ability, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he easily broke free. Yet, instead of continuing the fight, he chose to stop.]
[He admitted that the moment he used his third Spirit Ability, he had already lost the spirit of the duel.]
[Dai Mubai then guessed that Tang San and Xiao Wu had come to enroll in Shrek Academy, saying they would meet again before leaving the Rose Hotel with the twin beauties in his arms.]
[Watching him leave, Xiao Wu remained unconvinced, still feeling that he was not a good person.]
[Tang San, on the other hand, formed a favorable impression, believing Dai Mubai to be cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a straightforward nature.]
White World, Blazing Academy.
"This Dai fellow is also from Shrek Academy?"
"His Spirit is the Evil Eyes White Tiger, and his surname is Dai… could he be from the Star Luo Empire's imperial Dai clan?"
After watching the battle on the comparison screen, Huo Wu frowned slightly as she voiced her thoughts.
"Most likely," Huo Wushuang replied after a moment of consideration, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
At the same time, he could not hide his surprise.
"This Shrek Academy seems quite remarkable."
"Dai Mubai appears to be around our age, yet his cultivation has already reached level thirty-seven Spirit Elder. That's undeniably the mark of a genius."
"For such a genius from the Star Luo imperial family, along with someone like Tang San who possesses Innate Full Spirit Power, twin spirits, and the potential to become a god, to both choose Shrek Academy…"
"It's definitely not an ordinary place."
However, as he spoke, confusion crept into his expression.
"But if it's truly that outstanding, why has no one in the Spirit Master world ever heard of it?"
[After Dai Mubai left, Tang San and Xiao Wu successfully checked into the Rose Hotel.]
[Upon entering the room and seeing the suggestive décor, especially the large red heart made of roses in the center, Tang San could not help but feel awkward.]
[Xiao Wu, however, found the setting enchanting and was clearly delighted by the atmosphere.]
[After settling in, the two left the hotel to explore Suotuo City.]
[They soon arrived at a shop marked with a sign engraved with a sword, an ice hammer, and a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and stepped inside.]
[Inside, a thin middle-aged man in his fifties lounged on a recliner, slowly rocking back and forth. He wore grayish-brown leather clothing and had a distinctive appearance, with a protruding chin, wide cheekbones, a flat face, an aquiline nose, and black crystal glasses.]
[Tang San began browsing the items with Xiao Wu, eventually focusing on a piece of crystal placed against the wall. It appeared transparent, but contained a brownish-yellow impurity within.]
[When Tang San expressed interest in buying the crystal, the aquiline-nosed man sized him up and began raising the price repeatedly, from one hundred gold coins to two hundred, and finally to five hundred gold coins.]
[Lacking sufficient funds, Tang San initially prepared to leave, but the man called him back, suggesting he could pay in installments.]
[However, just as Tang San was about to take out gold coins from the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, the man learned that Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple. Upon hearing this, he suddenly changed his attitude and allowed Tang San to take the crystal for free.]
White World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"This crystal looks completely ordinary. Why would Tang San insist on buying it, even going so far as to pay five hundred gold coins?"
"What exactly is he after?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong frowned deeply, unable to understand Tang San's actions.
After a moment of contemplation, Ning Fengzhi spoke slowly.
"Although I cannot identify this crystal either, the Tang San of the Black World is far from an ordinary youth. His past life was tied to the Bashu Tang Clan."
"Based on that, I believe this crystal is anything but ordinary."
