Chapter 34: Dai Weisi's Confidence

At this moment, Dai Xiyu, who was in the duke's mansion, still did not know what had happened in the imperial palace.

He and Zhu Zhuqing had just finished breakfast, just like the previous two days, and took a carriage all the way to Starlight Forest.

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhu Yun would return today, which Dai Xiyu also knew.

However, he obviously had no interest in going to mock and ridicule Dai Weisi.

Compared to that, cultivation was more meaningful.

Now, Dai Xiyu had realized that the opportunities for him and Zhu Zhuqing to deepen their feelings were becoming fewer and fewer.

If this time they could use the martial soul fusion technique to defeat Dai Weisi's combination.

Then, their relationship would definitely experience a breakthrough growth.

Elder Sister Zhu Zhu Yun had always been a demon-like presence in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

Being able to defeat Zhu Zhu Yun with the martial soul fusion technique would amount to fulfilling a great wish of Zhu Zhuqing.

By then, the goodwill Zhu Zhuqing felt for the hand-in-hand progressing Dai Xiyu would certainly not be low.

Otherwise, Dai Xiyu would not be so eager to train the martial soul fusion technique with Zhu Zhuqing.

That day, Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul fusion made further progress.

However, compared to before, this progress was slight, with the duration lasting only a few seconds longer than yesterday.

By the time they returned, it was already evening.

The two got off the carriage at the duke's mansion gate and entered the main gate together.

Upon entering the front hall, Dai Xiyu noticed that several familiar yet unfamiliar figures had appeared before him.

The young man whose facial features resembled his by fifty percent and who was noticeably taller, Dai Xiyu had never seen before after his transmigration.

However, in his memory, he had a deep impression of him.

Dai Weisi, the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, was the elder half-brother of this body.

He was also, before the transmigration, a nightmare-like existence in Dai Xiyu's original self.

It can be said that, in the past few years, Dai Xiyu had always lived under Dai Weisi's shadow.

However, this has nothing to do with the present Dai Xiyu.

Therefore, Dai Xiyu did not, as in his memory, quickly lower his head upon seeing Dai Weisi.

Instead, he continually maintained a relaxed and composed demeanor.

A different temperament, yet the same confidence.

Dai Xiyu was nothing out of the ordinary, but Zhu Zhuqing was different.

At the moment she saw Zhu Zhu Yun, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but recall past events.

This elder sister of hers, whenever she was with the two younger sisters, constantly undermined their confidence.

It can be said that, compared to Dai Weisi, the shadow Zhu Zhu Yun cast over Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhu Yue was even greater.

As Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing entered the hall, the several people inside naturally noticed them as well.

Dai Weisi turned his head, looked at Dai Xiyu with a full-face smile, and said with a somewhat condescending tone:

"Xiyu is back, huh? Not seeing you for half a year really makes this big brother look at you with new eyes."

Dai Xiyu gave a light chuckle, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and calmly walked up to Dai Weisi.

"I myself don't feel any change; perhaps the big brother had previously overlooked me."

"Moreover, what you see now is only the beginning; there will be even more changes you cannot imagine later."

While speaking, Dai Xiyu also paid special attention to the fortune above Dai Weisi's and Zhu Zhu Yun's heads.

Dai Weisi【209882】

Zhu Zhu Yun【190289】

Unexpectedly, Dai Weisi's fortune was actually stronger than that of the Star Luo Emperor.

Does this not indicate that Dai Weisi's future achievements will surpass those of the Star Luo Emperor?

Thinking carefully, according to the original plot, Dai Mubai cared nothing for the throne, and after becoming a god he ascended to the Divine Realm.

And Dai Weisi would eventually become the next Star Luo Emperor, surely his strength would not be low either.

The Star Luo Emperor is currently level ninety-four; since Dai Weisi's achievements exceed his, it is estimated that he could also reach level ninety-five.

And just then, a notification refreshed in the upper left of Dai Xiyu's vision.

【Harvest from Zhu Zhuqing's fortune +100】

【Harvest from Dai Weisi's fortune +2】

The notification from Dai Weisi, however, sparked Dai Xiyu's interest.

In this way, it seems that anyone whose fortune exceeds two hundred thousand is considered an abnormality of fortune.

However, the current Dai Xiyu no longer regards a mere two hundred thousand fortune highly.

Two hundred thousand isn't even enough to buy half a level of soul power.

……

Dai Weisi was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Dai Xiyu's personality to have changed so greatly.

He shook his head, feeling somewhat wistful, and said:

"I never expected that the formerly timid Xiyu would completely disappear. It seems that the increase in strength has also given you considerable confidence."

Upon saying this, Dai Weisi's smile instantly retracted, his eyes becoming as sharp as a hawk's.

"However, you also need to be careful. As the elder brother, I won't be easily overtaken by the two younger brothers, especially since... one of them is still innate second level."

By saying this, he was obviously mocking Dai Xiyu's talent.

However, Dai Xiyu was completely unbothered, his smile undiminished.

As if ignoring Dai Weisi's words, their gaze turned to the Netherworld Duke beside, and they said:

Uncle, I trained with Zhu Zhuqing all day, and now I'm a bit tired, so I'll head back to my room first.

From just now, the Netherworld Duke has been acting as an observer, and only now did he speak:

"Your Highness, you've trained hard; you should rest well and prepare in advance for tomorrow's soul duel."

He nodded, then Dai Xiyu took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and turned to leave.

Walking halfway, Dai Xiyu turned his head, his pupils already turned blood-red.

He stared at Dai Weisi for a moment, then smiled and said:

"If that's the case, then let's see who's superior tomorrow, big brother."

Having said that, Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing left the front hall together.

As for Dai Weisi, he was full of doubt.

He turned to look at the Netherworld Duke and asked:

"Just now, I seemed to see Xi Yu's eyes looking a bit strange—what is that?"

Hearing that, the Netherworld Duke shook his head and said:

"It should be a kind of soul skill; the Second Highness has used it more than once in battle."

At this moment, the ever-silent Zhu Zhu Yun spoke up:

"No matter what soul skill it is, it cannot make up for the gap in soul power. When tomorrow comes, everything will be decided."

Zhu Zhu Yun said that, and Dai Weisi also nodded, his bearing still exuding composure and confidence.

Meanwhile, Dai Xiyu, who had just left the front hall, also showed a smile.

Zhu Zhuqing, whose hand was held by Dai Xiyu, said somewhat nervously:

"Xi Yu, the Eldest Highness seems very confident—what should we do tomorrow?"

Dai Xiyu smiled and said:

"Dai Weisi's confidence is merely because he broke through to level thirty."

He is so certain precisely because of that glance when he turned around just now.

The Copy Wheel Eye possesses ultimate insight, and this insight can also see the energy within living beings.

In the world of the Douluo Continent, this energy is naturally soul power.

Below level thirty-six, Dai Xiyu knows exactly how much soul power each rank possesses.

So, Dai Xiyu saw through Dai Weisi's soul power at a glance.
