Dai Mubai's face turned pale then flushed, his knuckles whitening from how tightly he clenched his fists.
He never imagined that his full-powered Spirit Ability would be so effortlessly neutralized by his opponent, even reflected back at him completely unchanged.
"Who... who are you really?" Dai Mubai panted heavily, his eyes showing newfound wariness.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow, his tone somewhat careless: "A nameless man, just a wanderer!"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth. His pride prevented him from immediately backing down, yet reason screamed at him about the gap between them.
He stared intently at Su Yu, as if trying to discern something from his face, but Su Yu's expression remained neutral, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Seeing Dai Mubai's hesitation—wanting to fight but not daring to—Su Yu decided to add fuel to the fire:
"Little kitten, if you don't dare to make a move, hurry home to your mother!"
Already seething with anger, Dai Mubai's fury blazed even hotter at Su Yu's provocation.
The Soul Power around him grew restless. How could he still care about whether he could defeat Su Yu or not!
"You're asking for death!"
Dai Mubai roared lowly, his chest heaving violently. The phantom of his White Tiger Martial Soul loomed menacingly behind him.
"Third Spirit Ability - White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
Dai Mubai snarled through clenched teeth. His third purple Soul Ring suddenly lit up, enveloping his entire body in a dazzling radiance.
His physique visibly swelled, muscles bulging, faint white tiger stripes appearing on his skin, and his eyes taking on a fearsome, savage glint.
"Die!"
Like a white lightning bolt, Dai Mubai charged at Su Yu once more, carrying a violent momentum.
This time, he used all his strength. His sharp claws tore through the air with a piercing sound, aimed directly at Su Yu's throat—clearly, he was truly enraged.
Watching his desperate assault, the mockery at the corner of Su Yu's lips deepened.
He couldn't even be bothered to dodge. Only when Dai Mubai's claws were about to reach his throat did Su Yu extend his right hand, precisely seizing his opponent's wrist.
"Crack—"
A faint bone-cracking sound echoed, accompanied by Dai Mubai's agonized scream.
Su Yu's fingers were like iron clamps; no matter how much Dai Mubai struggled, they didn't budge an inch.
"I told you, you're not up to it."
Su Yu's voice remained calm, but he applied a bit more pressure with his hand.
"Ah—!"
Dai Mubai broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, his face as pale as paper. The phantom of his White Tiger Martial Soul wavered violently from the intense agony, on the verge of dissipating.
Su Yu glanced at the suffering Dai Mubai and casually flung him away.
Once again, Dai Mubai was thrown aside like a ragged sack, crashing heavily to the ground. The effects of White Tiger Vajra Transformation instantly vanished.
He lay prone on the ground, his wrist twisted at an unnatural angle.
Su Yu walked slowly to stand before him, looking down from above, his tone carrying a hint of icy mockery:
"Now, do you still think you can beat me?"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, his forehead pressed against the cold ground. He knew he had lost completely, utterly defeated.
Su Yu looked at Dai Mubai sprawled on the ground, frowned slightly, and spat out two words:
"Worthless."
Before the words had fully left his mouth, his fingertips lifted lightly, tapping seemingly casually behind Dai Mubai's neck.
Dai Mubai's body jolted violently, his eyes rolled back, and he instantly crumpled to the floor, completely unconscious.
Having dealt with the source of trouble, Su Yu turned to the trembling twins, his tone dripping with undisguised impatience:
"Get over here and take him away."
The two were already scared out of their wits, standing frozen in place. If the hotel manager hadn't discreetly nudged them, they might not have snapped out of it.
"Y-yes..."
They hurriedly complied, trembling as they stepped forward and struggled to lift the unconscious Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai's large frame made them stagger as they supported him, dragging him along like two heavy puppets as they scurried shamefacedly toward the hotel exit, not daring to look back.
Only when the three figures completely disappeared through the doorway did the tense atmosphere in the hotel begin to ease slightly.
The manager quickly approached, his face plastered with an ingratiating smile: "Esteemed guest, we apologize for the inconvenience..."
Su Yu's gaze swept around the hotel lobby as he spoke in a calm tone:
"So, the room is ours now?"
The manager hastily wiped sweat from his forehead, his obsequiousness practically overflowing:
"Of course! It's absolutely yours! Xiao Li, come quickly and register these distinguished guests!"
The front desk attendant Xiao Li, who had been terrified to the point of cold hands and feet, immediately responded and stepped forward.
Her fingers flew across the registration book, completing the procedures in no time, not even daring to breathe heavily.
"Guests, here are your room keys. Just turn left on the third floor. Please head upstairs!"
Xiao Li presented the keys with both hands, her head bowed low.
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and snatched the keys, her face beaming with excitement as she pulled Xue Na toward the staircase, her steps as light as a fawn's:
"Let's go, let's go! Let's check out the room!"
Su Yu watched their retreating figures before following them upstairs, never once glancing back at the manager and attendant.
Only when the three figures completely disappeared around the staircase corner did both the manager and Xiao Li slump in relief, letting out long sighs. The backs of their shirts were soaked with cold sweat.
Xiao Li patted her chest, muttering with lingering fear: "I thought Young Master Dai was already domineering enough, but today we got someone even more formidable... That aura earlier scared my legs weak."
The manager frowned and rubbed his temples before instructing Xiao Li:
"Don't just stand there! Quickly assess the hotel's damages, especially that cracked wall!"
"Calculate everything clearly and send the bill to Young Master Dai. And remember - keep today's incident to yourself. Don't spread it around and bring trouble upon us."
"Ah, right away!"
Xiao Li quickly acknowledged, though she secretly clicked her tongue - it seemed the Rose Hotel wouldn't know peace anymore.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and Xue Na headed upstairs, examining the keys in their hands.
"Hmm! Pink Mood! Let's hurry and find it, Xue Na!"
The two began searching for their room along the row of door numbers.
The hotel room names were truly intriguing: Blue Enchantress, Pink Tenderness, Yellow Sincerity, White Innocence, Green Parting, Red Ocean...
The two walked along the corridor until the very end, where they finally spotted the room marked "Pink Mood."
Ning Rongrong and Xue Na exchanged a glance, their faces filled with curiosity, then turned and waved enthusiastically at Su Yu who had just caught up:
"Brother Husband, over here! Our room is here!"
As Su Yu approached, the two girls hand in hand pushed open the door and skipped excitedly inside.
But the moment their feet crossed the threshold, the smiles on their faces froze—
The room was adorned everywhere with pink rose decorations, the walls covered in rose-patterned wallpaper, and even the chandelier was crafted in the shape of a rosebud about to bloom.
