Chapter 37

Unbelievable, it's only been one month since awakening their martial soul, and Zhu Zhuqing is already a one-ring Soul Master?

With the first soul ring, their soul power must be at least rank eleven. In just one month, they've risen four ranks—how terrifying is Zhu Zhuqing's talent?

A genius, this is what a genius is……

……

Not only the spectators among the nobles, but even Dai Weisi on the Soul Battle Platform felt somewhat surprised.

He had thought only Dai Xiyu's monstrous talent could raise four ranks in a month.

Now upon looking, even Zhu Zhuqing possesses extraordinary talent.

In the first month after awakening their martial soul, gaining the first soul ring is hardly different from innate full soul power.

Only then did Dai Weisi truly feel that Dai Xiyu posed a threat to him.

If we give these two people time to grow, then when the time comes to later vie for the crown prince position, they will surely become a huge stumbling block.

At this very moment, Dai Weisi had already made up his mind.

After the Grand Soul Duel ends, we must do something; we can no longer let things go unchecked.

Among those present, the most shocked was Zhu Zhu Yun.

As Zhu Zhuqing's elder sister, Zhu Zhu Yun could be said to be Zhu Zhuqing's mortal enemy.

And yet now, she watches helplessly as Zhu Zhuqing possesses such monstrous talent.

Anyone else would probably be unable to sit calmly and securely.

At this moment, after taking in everyone's reactions, Dai Xiyu said lightly: "How about it? Does Zhu Qing now have the qualifications to go on stage?"

Dai Weisi came to his senses, smiling as he said:

"Since Miss Zhu Qing has already broken through to rank ten and possesses her first soul ring, she naturally qualifies."

"That works; then let's have a two-on-two match, so you can see the strength of our cooperation."

Having said that, Dai Weisi gave Zhu Zhu Yun a glance; she understood and immediately jumped onto the Soul Duel platform.

Dai Xiyu and Zhu Zhuqing, as usual, walked up onto the Soul Duel platform at a steady pace from the side and stood before Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhu Yun.

Since it's a Soul Duel, there naturally needs to be a referee.

In the Grand Soul Duel arena, referees are usually the commentators.

The palace naturally wouldn't ask a commentator; the referee is a worshipper from the Hall of Worship.

This worshipper's name is well known among the nobles: it is the Hidden Douluo, whose title is Yin, possessing the formidable strength of a rank ninety-six peak Douluo.

The Hidden Douluo is a gaunt, silver-haired old man; although his appearance seems ordinary, his eyes conceal an unmatchable sharpness.

No one knows the Hidden Douluo's age; it seems that during the previous Star Luo Emperor's reign, this old man was already in the Hall of Worship.

In the entire Star Luo Empire, probably only the Hall of Worship's mysterious Grand Worshipper is older than him.

Legend has it that this old man even watched the previous Star Luo Emperor grow up.

And now, this generation's Star Luo Emperor is already over sixty years old.

Having him serve as referee can eliminate any accidents, and no underhanded tricks can escape the eyes of a peak Douluo.

However, even a peak Douluo cannot discern Dai Xiyu's exact soul power before he releases his martial soul.

Even if he releases his martial soul without engaging in combat, it still cannot be seen.

It's like a sixty-year-old looking at five- and six-year-old children, not noticing much difference between them.

Looking at Dai Xiyu before him, Dai Weisi continued to maintain his confident smile and said:

"Xiyu, I never expected we'd stand together on the Soul Duel platform. I previously thought this day would never come in my lifetime."

Dai Weisi indeed has the standing to say that, and even now it is not considered arrogance.

After all, as long as he wins in the struggle for the throne, Dai Xiyu only has two outcomes: having his soul power abolished or death.

Either way, he would no longer be able to mount the Soul Duel platform.

Dai Xiyu, however, gave a light smile and said: "Then cherish it well; if you later wish to duel me again, you may not get the chance."

Arrogant!

At this moment, that word rose in everyone's hearts.

If Dai Xiyu were facing Dai Mubai, saying that might not be a big deal.

But now, he is facing Dai Weisi.

As a genius, Dai Weisi is a full six years older than Dai Xiyu.

A six-year gap is not something that can easily be caught up.

Moreover, the noble children who study outside the city together with Dai Weisi all know his true strength.

As a genius, Dai Weisi is not an empty reputation.

Only seen, Dai Weisi seemed to have heard something amusing and burst out laughing.

"Good, very imposing. Then what if it's like this?"

As soon as his words fell, Dai Weisi instantly released his martial soul.

Yellow, yellow, purple!

Three rings, Soul Elder!

Below the stage, a sudden exclamation arose.

Dai Weisi is only fifteen this year, yet he has already broken through to three rings!

At this moment, everyone had the same thought.

Dai Xiyu, there's no hope.

In their view, Dai Xiyu's strength is rank twenty-five.

Even if he possesses a thousand-year second ring, such a level cannot be compared to Dai Weisi.

From level twenty-nine to thirty is a very large bottleneck.

No one knows how many soul masters have been stuck at this level for several years, even over a decade.

And Dai Weisi was still level twenty-eight half a year ago.

In this short half‑year period, not only did his soul power increase, but he also broke through the twenty‑nine‑level bottleneck and obtained his third soul ring.

From then on, Dai Weisi's soul power progress can be described as smooth and unimpeded.

As for Dai Xiyu, it's still unknown how long he will remain stuck at the twenty‑nine‑level bottleneck.

Compared to potential abilities, people are more willing to believe in what they already possess.

Moreover, his partner Zhu Zhu Yun also possesses astonishing talent.

Zhu Zhu Yun, who had already reached level twenty‑six half a year ago, and Zhu Zhuqing, who has only just obtained her first soul ring now, both face little suspense.

Offstage, Dai Mubai also widened his eyes.

He had thought that Dai Weisi would be stuck at the twenty‑nine‑level bottleneck for at least a year.

That way, Dai Mubai also had a chance to achieve a stunning comeback from a desperate situation.

But now, Dai Weisi has broken through this major bottleneck, and he didn't even need half a year to do it.

Dai Mubai couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged.

It seems that catching up to Dai Weisi as a goal has become hopeless.

At the same time, Dai Mubai couldn't help but mourn for Dai Xiyu in advance.

Even if he had a thousand‑year second soul ring, the gap in the number of soul rings cannot be made up by the age of the soul rings.

Today, Dai Xiyu will surely suffer a crushing defeat.

Furthermore, what will follow closely is Dai Weisi's frenzied suppression, until Dai Xiyu can no longer pose any threat.

Dai Mubai let out a sigh.

Although the great vengeance has been avenged, it was not by his own hand, which is somewhat regrettable.

At this moment, on the Spirit Fighting Platform.

At the moment the soul rings were released, Dai Weisi exuded strong confidence.

He looked down on Dai Xiyu from above and said somewhat regretfully:

"Xiyu, your talent is indeed excellent. It's just a pity that my talent is equally strong, and I am six years older than you."

"If you and Zhu Zhuqing had been born a few years earlier, perhaps you would truly have the qualifications to compete with me."

"Now then..."
