Chapter 386: Bai Chenxiang vs. Dai Mubai, Blazing Sun and Heroic Swan!
"Damn! Do I really have to defeat her?"
In the meeting room, as Bai Chenxiang stood up and heard Lin Yu's earlier words, Dai Mubai couldn't help but clench his fists, his face showing a bit of displeasure.
He originally thought that by pretending to be humble in front of Lin Yu, he would easily be allowed to join the Immortal Palace.
But now, it seemed he would have to defeat a girl named Bai Chenxiang.
If it had been in the past, Dai Mubai would have been absolutely confident in defeating a girl of roughly his own age who was relatively unknown.
But remembering how, during the Tiandou Imperial City Academy's small competition, Zi Feng, from Zixing Academy—on the same level as their Oakland Academy—had been a mere Soul Ancestor but, after receiving just half a month of Lin Yu's guidance, had been able to overpower Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
Dai Mubai had no confidence in defeating Yu Tianheng.
If someone like Zi Feng, who had only trained for half a month under Lin Yu, could experience such a massive improvement, then this unknown girl, Bai Chenxiang, must also have extraordinary strength.
He probably wasn't her match.
Although he felt he might lose, Dai Mubai, unwilling to accept defeat, still couldn't bring himself to surrender.
As a prince, his pride prevented him from acknowledging defeat—such a thing had never crossed his mind.
Moreover, in his current situation, trying to catch up to his older brother Dai Weisi's training progress on his own was clearly impossible.
His only hope now was to win this battle and join the Immortal Palace!
Therefore, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and decided he could not give up!
This battle was crucial to his future, and he had to give it his all to seize this opportunity to join the Immortal Palace.
"Alright, Xiangxiang, let's go!"
After Bai Chenxiang proudly introduced herself, Lin Yu stood up and said calmly.
Then, Lin Yu walked toward the door of the meeting room, pausing briefly beside Dai Mubai. He turned his head and spoke coldly to him.
"If you want to pass my test, then come out."
Having made up his mind, Dai Mubai was determined to fight with all his strength to join the Immortal Palace.
So, everyone from the meeting room moved outside to a plaza.
Lin Yu, Principal Oakland, and the other six members of the Oakland team stood on one side, while Bai Chenxiang and Dai Mubai took their places on opposite sides of the plaza, about several dozen meters apart.
"Alright, let's begin!"
Once Dai Mubai and Bai Chenxiang had positioned themselves, Lin Yu gave a calm command, signaling the start of the duel.
"White Tiger, Possess!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Dai Mubai let out a furious roar and immediately summoned his Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul, activating the Martial Soul Possession.
"Roar!"
A loud tiger's roar sounded, and a massive white tiger appeared, bursting out of Dai Mubai's body and immediately merging back into him.
With the Martial Soul Possession, Dai Mubai's figure grew taller, his muscles expanded, thick black-and-white fur sprouted from the back of his hands, and his hands became as large as a fan. His claws, sharp as daggers, shot out from his fingers.
Meanwhile, four soul rings—two yellow and two purple—rose up from Dai Mubai's feet, surrounding him.
On the other side, Bai Chenxiang also summoned her Martial Soul, the Blazing Phoenix Swan, entering Martial Soul Possession.
The Blazing Phoenix Swan was a result of Bai Chenxiang's consumption of a rare spirit herb, the Rooster Phoenix Sunflower, which had been catalyzed by Lin Yu's Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul and Chaos Domain.
Its quality rivaled the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, making it one of the most powerful bird-type Martial Souls in Douluo Continent, possibly only surpassed by Water Bing'er's Ice Phoenix after its evolution.
"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings!"
After summoning her Blazing Phoenix Swan and entering Martial Soul Possession, Bai Chenxiang, a flying-type soul master, immediately shouted and activated her flying soul skill.
A pair of crimson wings formed from soul power sprouted from her back as her third soul ring lit up.
With a powerful flap, Bai Chenxiang soared into the sky, her form turning into a red blur.
"Damn, she can fly?!"
Seeing Bai Chenxiang fly into the air using her flying soul skill, Dai Mubai's face instantly turned grim.
Though Dai Mubai had guessed from Bai Chenxiang's tall, slender figure that she was a speed-type soul master, he had not anticipated that she was not only a speed-type soul master but also a flying-type, with the ability to fly!
If she were just a normal speed-type soul master, he could handle it!
But Bai Chenxiang seemed to possess the fire element in her Martial Soul, meaning she might also have ranged attack abilities. This put him at a severe disadvantage!
"Second Soul Skill, Accelerate!"
After flying up into the air, Bai Chenxiang quickly activated her second soul skill, Accelerate, increasing her flight speed dramatically.
She then turned mid-air, flapping her wings to dive toward Dai Mubai. As she did, she also activated her internal True Qi from the Xuanwu lineage and unleashed the Top Ten Martial Arts—Dragon Claw of the Skeleton!
"Fourth Soul Skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower!!"
Facing Bai Chenxiang's dive, Dai Mubai did not dare hesitate. He immediately shouted and activated his fourth soul skill, White Tiger Meteor Shower. A mass of white energy orbs appeared around him, shooting into the sky toward Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang, knowing the power of Dai Mubai's attack, did not dare to engage directly. She immediately flapped her wings again and shot back into the sky, evading the White Tiger Meteor Shower.
This was not a problem for Bai Chenxiang.
As a member of the Xuanwu family, she was naturally skilled in speed, and with her evolved Martial Soul, few could rival her at the same level.
If Dai Mubai's White Tiger Meteor Shower had been able to hit her, that would have been a surprise!
"Damn it!"
Seeing Bai Chenxiang avoid his fourth soul skill, Dai Mubai couldn't contain his anger.
Just as he was about to launch another attack, Bai Chenxiang, now soaring back toward him, once again flapped her wings and dived toward Dai Mubai.
This time, Dai Mubai couldn't use his White Tiger Meteor Shower again, as more advanced soul skills required longer cooldowns.
