Chapter 35

Dai Weisi, who just obtained the third soul ring, has soul power at rank thirty-one.

And Zhu Zhuyun's soul power is at rank twenty-eight.

After the martial souls fused, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's strength is no longer a threat to me.

Dai Xiyu's soul power is now rank thirty-six, Zhu Zhuqing's is rank eleven; after their martial souls fuse, they are actually somewhat stronger than Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

Furthermore, Dai Xiyu also has the Copy Wheel Eye's boost.

It can be said that tomorrow's battle already has no suspense.

Upon hearing that Davis broke through to rank thirty, Zhu Zhuqing was also startled.

However, she quickly reacted, and her expression relaxed considerably.

What's so special about Davis being rank thirty? Dai Xiyu is rank thirty-six, a full five ranks higher than him.

Thus, in a one-on-one fight, Dai Xiyu almost certainly cannot lose.

The only thing to worry about is Zhu Zhuqing herself.

Just then, Dai Xiyu suddenly said, "Zhu Qing, tomorrow we two will go onto the field together, facing Davis and Zhu Zhuyun in a two-on-two."

"Huh... huh?"

After a moment, Zhu Zhuqing finally reacted and hurriedly said:

"Why? If you fight one-on-one, you'll definitely beat Davis, but in a two-on-two I'll drag you down!"

Dai Xiyu showed a confident smile and said:

"Defeating Zhu Zhuyun hasn't been your lifelong wish? Although it's a joint victory, it still counts as fulfilling your longtime dream."

Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly and whispered:

"But... if we do that, the outcome becomes uncertain, even though you could surely win..."

Dai Xiyu paused his steps, reached out to rub Zhu Zhuqing's head, and laughed:

"Whether I'm sure to win or not doesn't matter; your wish is most important."

Hearing Dai Xiyu say that, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes reddened slightly, she quickly turned away and said nothing.

Meanwhile, in the upper-left corner of Dai Xiyu's vision, a notification suddenly refreshed.

【Harvest from Zhu Zhuqing: fortune +2,000,000】

Seeing the notification refresh, Dai Xiyu then continued speaking with great vigor:

"Besides, who says we two can't surely win by teaming up? I have full confidence—tomorrow I'll take you to sweep all directions!"

Zhu Zhuqing burst out laughing, couldn't help turning, and lightly punched Dai Xiyu's chest.

The two laughed and played in the empty corridor, then returned to the bedroom.

Zhu Zhuqing went to the bathroom to shower, while Dai Xiyu sat on the bed and opened the fortune store.

【Fortune balance: 3,732,816】

【This month's listed products are as follows (updated after 16:59)】

【Hundred-year soul ring: 1,000 fortune】

【Five-hundred-year soul ring: 6,000 fortune】

【Thousand-year soul ring: 10,000 fortune】

【Divine soul ring: 1,500,000 fortune】

【10,000-year right arm soul bone: 200,000 fortune】

【Soul power (rank 1): 800,000 fortune】

【Free attribute points: 400,000 fortune】

【Third martial soul (random): 5,000,000 fortune】

【A bag of gold soul coins (1000): 1,000 fortune】

……

Looking at the store's contents, Dai Xiyu pondered silently.

"The update time left is about seventeen hours; it's now seven p. m., which means the update will be at noon tomorrow."

After waiting a month, the store update is finally coming, and Dai Xiyu is very eager for its content.

Now the balance has reached 3.7 million, and Dai Xiyu faces two choices.

The first is to purchase soul power now and immediately increase it.

The second is to save up first, then see tomorrow if there's anything better to exchange for.

After a moment's thought, Dai Xiyu chose the former.

No matter what good things refresh tomorrow, they won't disappear immediately; there's plenty of time to accumulate fortune.

Moreover, soul power is always a good thing; buying it will never be a loss.

Thinking this way, Dai Xiyu immediately spent fortune to buy soul power.

【Successfully purchased soul power (rank 1), fortune -800,000】

【Successfully purchased soul power (rank 1), fortune -900,000】

【Successfully purchased soul power (rank 1), fortune -1,000,000】

Buying three ranks of soul power cost a total of 2.7 million; at this point the fortune balance still has 1 million left.

Dai Xiyu's soul power also rose to rank thirty-nine as a result.

Feeling the greatly increased soul power within his body, he couldn't help but smile.

Rank thirty-nine soul power, plus the second martial soul Copy Wheel Eye.

Now, even if Dai Xiyu fights alone, facing Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's martial soul fusion skill is no problem.

Dai Weisi never would have imagined that his third brother, whom he remembered as only rank twenty-five, is now a rank thirty-nine powerhouse.

The remaining one million soul power, Dai Xiyu did not purchase anything else, directly closing the shop page.

That night, the two continued their usual dual cultivation; while Dai Xiyu harvested qi fortune, they also assisted Zhu Zhuqing in a comprehensive improvement.

The night passed in silence.

Early the next morning.

After Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing finished washing up and had breakfast, they left the Duke's Mansion together by carriage.

Although Dai Weisi was met at the Duke's Mansion last night, he did not stay there overnight, but instead returned to the Imperial Palace with Zhu Zhu Yun to spend the night.

As before, Zhu Zhu Yun rarely stayed at the Duke's Mansion; whenever she returned to Star Luo City, she would always stay by Dai Weisi's side.

In this regard, the two are somewhat similar.

Among the three brothers, only Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhu Yue have a relationship that remains stiff to this day.

Zhu Zhu Yue is now in a laid-back state, having completely given up competition and begun to enjoy the present.

Every day she eats, drinks, and has fun, attending various noble tea parties and balls.

As for Dai Mubai, she treats him as if he doesn't exist, rarely taking the initiative to seek him out.

She no longer minds the pressure brought by Zhu Zhu Yun, and is actually much more cheerful than before.

The carriage stopped at the Imperial Palace gate, Dai Xiyu led Zhu Zhuqing down and entered the Imperial Palace directly.

Today's Star Luo Imperial Palace is much livelier than before, with many nobles coming from afar to participate in this Noble Grand Spirit Battle.

Along the way, Dai Xiyu met many students from the academy, as well as many unfamiliar faces from advanced academies outside the city.

These people, upon seeing Dai Xiyu, also maintained good etiquette.

Their attitude has become vastly different from a month ago.

After all, the current Dai Xiyu is a genius who reached level twenty-five at the age of nine.

In the Crown Prince Struggle, there is a great hope of victory.

Compared to that, Dai Mubai is now the least hopeful.

At this point, Dai Mubai truly follows the old path Dai Xiyu once took; many noble offspring avoid him as much as possible, fearing misunderstanding by the other two princes.

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

After experiencing everyone's flattery, then falling back into the mundane world is hardest to accept.

Dai Mubai is now like that—his connections have declined, and his economy has also hit rock bottom.

To those who haven't visited the Imperial Palace in a long time, Dai Mubai and Dai Xiyu's situations seem to have undergone a reversal of fortune.

The changes of the times are unpredictable, leaving one sighing.
