Chapter 168: 186. War God Descends
He remembered that in the previous life, it was also in the year he was nine that after Zhu Zhuqing awakened her martial soul and they had martial soul resonance, he was selected as one of the candidates for the throne.
But the opponent he faced was his older brother, who was a full six years older than him. Even if his talent was slightly higher than his brother's by a hair, it couldn't make up for the first-mover advantage his brother had from those six years.
Thus, when he felt that no matter how hard he cultivated, he couldn't surpass his brother, in the year he was eleven, he completely despaired, gave up on himself, and fled the Star Luo Empire to arrive at the Heaven Dou Empire.
However, this choice completely changed his fate. He became one of the Shrek Seven Devils and, three years later when Tang San enrolled, hugged tightly onto Tang San's thigh, advancing triumphantly all the way. In the end, he even destroyed Spirit Hall, achieving the legendary tale of the Shrek Seven Devils becoming gods.
He also became the War God Dai Mubai among the Shrek Seven Gods and was worshiped by his descendants for ten thousand years.
Now, reborn into the past, Dai Mubai didn't take his older brother seriously at all. He just needed to follow the path from the previous life once more, hug tightly onto Tang San's thigh, and he would basically reverse his fate. Davis, go play; he couldn't care less.
What to do next?
According to memories from the previous life, he should flee this country in two years, join Shrek Academy, and then wait for Tang San's arrival.
But Dai Mubai didn't want to stay here for even a moment longer. He had been reborn nine years ago. The reason he stayed this long was one: Zhu Zhuqing.
He needed to establish a martial soul fusion skill with Zhu Zhuqing.
The martial soul fusion skill was an insurance for Dai Mubai. The Nether White Tiger always took the White Tiger martial soul as the dominant and the Civet martial soul as the subordinate. In this clearly defined dominant-subordinate martial soul fusion skill, the side with the Civet martial soul, as long as it established the martial soul fusion skill with the White Tiger martial soul side, would never betray the White Tiger martial soul side. But conversely, the dominant side was harder to say. (In Douluo 1, Dai Mubai gave Zhu Zhuqing a green hat before she went to Shrek; in Douluo 2's Qiankun Asking Love Valley, Dai Hua Bin said his favorite was Wang Dong'er while Zhu Lu remained devoted to Dai Hua Bin.)
Thinking of Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai's immediate feeling was boredom; he was really tired of playing with her. It was just so-so.
She was very small now, but sleek and shiny; in the future, she would be an unparalleled woman.
But Shrek's tradition was monogamy. Tang San was devoted to Xiao Wu, Oscar to Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun to Bai Chenxiang. So for him, Dai Mubai, to not disrupt this atmosphere, he could only be devoted to Zhu Zhuqing. But he wasn't a devoted person at heart. If he were devoted, he wouldn't have become a time management master in Soto City.
Zhu Zhuqing was very beautiful, but even the most beautiful person becomes boring after playing with them for long, just like a plate of delicacies from land and sea. Eating it for a day would leave you savoring endlessly, but eating it every day, wouldn't you get tired? Answer me—fifty years in the God Realm, waking up every day to face Zhu Zhuqing's face. Could you stand it?
In the later ten-plus years in the God Realm, Dai Mubai had already started to miss that pair of twins from twenty thousand years ago. (Simply put, our Dai Mubai had eaten his fill of delicacies at home and wanted to try some wild game.)
However, he couldn't just ditch Zhu Zhuqing, because she was the foundation for his standing in Shrek and in the God Realm in the future.
In the Seven Devils team, Tang San himself was a powerful soul master. Oscar and Ning Rongrong's auxiliary value was even higher than theirs as battle soul masters. Ma Hongjun was weak in the early stages, but after obtaining the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Pill, his suppressive power far surpassed his own. If not for slacking off early on, his potential could even reach level one god.
With Zhu Zhuqing, their martial soul fusion skill could hard-counter a level one god. Without Zhu Zhuqing, he was just an ordinary battle soul master; even if he became a god, it would only be a level two god. In Shrek's circle, he would be at the bottom.
Therefore, even if he was tired of this plate of delicacies Zhu Zhuqing, he still needed her.
So, after the martial soul awakening, he waited another three years in the Star Luo Empire until Zhu Zhuqing awakened her martial soul, they formed resonance, and Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't betray him—only then was it secured. After that, Dai Mubai had already started planning his escape.
This time, fleeing two years early, arriving in Soto City, he might even get to play for two more years. First, play until Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others came to register at Shrek Academy, then switch back to the devoted Young Master Dai mode. Dai Mubai thought this inwardly, his heart already itching to move.
Hehehe, the flower girls of Soto City, I, the War God Dai Mubai, have descended to grace you.
After confirming that Dai Mubai was his opponent, Davis constantly monitored Dai Mubai's every move. Although he had the age advantage, in talent, Dai Mubai was slightly stronger than him by a hair. In Star Luo's history, there were plenty of emperors who reversed situations from adversity; he didn't dare slack off.
At this moment, one of his confidants walked in and said to Davis: "Eldest prince, Dai Mubai has escaped."
"He ran?" Davis was slightly stunned.
He hadn't even started using any tactics against this younger brother, and he ran?
No way—
At dawn, before the sun had risen, Zhu Zhuqing had already gotten up.
Unlike the Dai princes, who didn't know which one would finally resonate with their martial soul, they had no sense of urgency. Zhu Zhuqing was different; after her sister resonated with Davis, she had a sense of urgency and knew what she would face in the future.
After awakening her martial soul, she didn't dare slack for a moment and cultivated with full effort.
Several hours passed, and Zhu Zhuqing sensed her soul power changes, sighing inwardly.
Dai Mubai's talent was slightly stronger than Davis's by a hair, giving a slim chance of victory. But she only had innate level 7 soul power, while her sister had innate level 8 talent. Facing an opponent who surpassed her in talent and age, Zhu Zhuqing saw almost no hope of victory.
But she didn't want to die, nor did she want to drag Dai Mubai down because of herself. She couldn't give up, Zhu Zhuqing told herself inwardly.
At this time, the door opened, and Zhu Zhuyun walked in, teasingly saying: "Little sister, you're still cultivating? Haven't you seen the gap between us clearly yet?"
"No matter how big the gap between us is, I have to try, sister." Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Hehe, even if your fiancé has run away, you still want to persist alone, my good little sister?" Zhu Zhuyun said with a cold laugh.
"Run away?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.
Zhu Zhuyun said: "I'm here to tell you something. Your partner ran away last night, escaped in women's clothing."
My fiancé ran away after establishing the martial soul fusion skill with me?? Zhu Zhuqing was completely numb!
