Chapter 73: Dai Mubai

Dressed all in white, with golden hair, a pair of heterochromatic eyes, and an extremely handsome appearance, yet his expression was cynical...

Could he be...

Qin Jian was lost in thought.

"Hey! Who are you?! Why did you attack me?"

At this moment, Yu Hairou frowned and said.

"This Soul Beast of yours is very suitable for me..."

The person opposite had originally kept his gaze on the Soul Beast, but only now shifted his line of sight, and his pupils immediately widened slightly.

Perhaps anyone in the Star Dou Great Forest would be like this upon encountering seven such beautiful girls...

As for Qin Jian, he certainly hadn't been seen.

"Oh no, I just saw you group of girls having such a hard time hunting the Soul Beast, so I came to help." The young man suddenly changed his tune.

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others all curled their lips at the same time; it was likely not the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"He's actually quite handsome."

Shui Yue'er, a member of the looks-association, took a few extra glances at him.

"Is that so?"

Qin Jian's voice was without the slightest ripple, but to Shui Yue'er, it sounded like a silent threat, and extra training was beckoning right before her.

"No, it's nothing, he can't compare to the Captain!" Shui Yue'er hurriedly changed her words.

"Captain?"

The young man opposite only then noticed Qin Jian's existence, and seeing him surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, he subconsciously frowned.

"Tch!"

Seeing that the person opposite had stopped moving, Yu Hairou very crisply and neatly threw a punch toward the Soul Beast...

"Hum!"

But at this moment, a wave of soul power suddenly surged over, pushing her away.

"Hmm?"

Qin Jian and the others were all startled.

Because none of them had been able to detect the presence of anyone else.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses appeared in their line of sight.

"Mubai, haven't you been tracking this Soul Beast for several days? Are you just going to let it go so easily?"

The middle-aged man knocked him on the head in annoyance: "Don't lose the ability to walk the moment you see a pretty girl!"

"Uh..."

The young man awkwardly covered the back of his head.

Mubai...

Qin Jian's memories, combined with the scene before him, finally allowed him to recall who these two were.

The future captain of the Shrek Team, Dai Mubai.

The Dean of Shrek Academy, Flender.

I really didn't expect to run into them here...

"You two, have you been tracking this Soul Beast for a long time?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Shui Bing'er stepped forward; she had already gradually become accustomed to such a role.

"That's right, we've been tracking it since three days ago. If it weren't for Mubai's training, I would have taken it down long ago." Flender reached out and adjusted his frames as he spoke.

"But this Soul Beast was hunted and finished by us; we can't just give it to you now." Shui Bing'er frowned and said.

Flender scanned the eight of them and said slowly: "My soul power level has already reached Level 70 or above; do you really want to fight for it?"

"A Soul Saint?!"

Several of them exclaimed at the same time, then looked at each other.

If they had to fight this head-on, wouldn't they be wiped out in minutes?

Qin Jian looked back, but he didn't see Yan Zhining's figure.

And Flender also looked in the same direction at this moment, thinking to himself: "There is a Spirit Master's aura over there; it's weaker than mine, but not by much. It seems these little ones opposite also have a guardian, so I can't force them directly by strength."

"How about this, don't say I'm bullying you, after all, you hunted the Soul Beast with such effort..."

He adjusted the frames on the bridge of his nose again and said with a smile: "How about we let the Spirit Masters from both sides who need to absorb a Soul Ring have a battle? Whoever wins gets it, how about that?"

The few people on Qin Jian's side looked at each other, and Yu Hairou walked over and asked: "Captain, do you think this is okay?"

"It's okay, but you'll likely lose..."

Qin Jian said in a low voice: "That young man's strength is above yours."

"Ah? Captain, how do you know?" Yu Hairou asked.

Qin Jian found it hard to answer, but fortunately, Dai Mubai spoke at this moment: "Dean, actually, we could also let them have the Soul Beast. After all, they are a group of girls, and fighting and snatching is too ungentlemanly..."

Flender's face twitched slightly: "Then what do you want?"

"I don't want anything..."

He touched his sideburns and revealed an exceptionally handsome smile: "I just want to get to know these young ladies."

He suddenly took a few steps forward, walked in front of Shui Bing'er, and a flash of heat passed through his eyes: "This beauty, can you tell me your name?"

Shui Bing'er knitted her willow brows, but she couldn't answer, because a hand pulled her directly behind him, and then Qin Jian's figure blocked her front.

"I think the previous proposal is better..."

Qin Jian said indifferently: "However, I will be the one battling you on our side."

"Wow, the Captain is angry!"

Qiu Ruoshui's eyes were glowing.

Xue Wu crossed her arms over her chest and snorted, "Daring to provoke our Bing'er means having to endure the Captain's wrath."

Shen Liuyu touched her own light blue hair and said leisurely, "After all, Bing'er is our Captain's reverse scale!"

With the few of them chattering away, Shui Bing'er was instantly turned bright red.

She quietly raised her eyes, looking at the back of Qin Jian as he stood in front of her, her gaze like water...

"You? You haven't reached Level 30 yet, have you?" Dai Mubai glanced at Shui Bing'er hiding behind Qin Jian and frowned.

"I am Level 25," Qin Jian said indifferently.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Dai Mubai held some annoyance; he knew this guy was a playboy, but he hadn't expected him to have designs on Shui Bing'er...

"Hmph! Don't let Zhu Zhuqing be one of the remaining seven, otherwise..." Qin Jian thought to himself.

"Sorry, I don't want to bully a little kid," Dai Mubai did not have the same pleasant expression for Qin Jian as he had just now.

"Either we fight to decide the ownership of the Soul Beast, or you give up; choose for yourself," Qin Jian said.

Dai Mubai suddenly swept his gaze over the others and said, "Are you really letting him, at Level 25, fight me?"

He looked especially at Yu Hairou: "If he loses, your Soul Ring will be gone."

Yu Hairou gave him a cold look and said, "Do you think I would question the Captain's decision? Trying to sow discord? Don't waste your effort, I listen to the Captain."

"Exactly, exactly, we all listen to the Captain." The others nodded repeatedly.

Dai Mubai's mouth twitched, he stepped back a few paces and said, "Then I shall see what kind of strength your Captain, who is only Level 25, possesses."

"You, who haven't obtained a Third Soul Skill..."

Qin Jian walked forward and stood opposite him: "In my eyes, you are vulnerable."

"Yo, this little guy is quite confident!"

Flender had already cleared the area and was watching from the side.

Naturally, he was not worried that Dai Mubai would lose; even if Qin Jian were also Level 30, he believed that the one to win in the end would be Dai Mubai.

After all, he possessed a top-tier Beast Spirit, and in terms of attack, few people could compare to him.

"Let me see what you have to be so arrogant about!"

Dai Mubai formed his hands into claws, and his top-tier Beast Spirit, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger, appeared behind him.

"Swish!"

A figure flashed, and he had already attacked to right in front of Qin Jian.

"Heh, My Body as a Sword!"

With a sweep of his sword-finger, the martial soul Sword planted itself in front of Qin Jian, accurately blocking Dai Mubai's attack...
