NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Those Who Insult Will Be Insulted
"Then please demonstrate what 'roll' means!"
Those words echoed painfully in Dai Mubai's ears.
As the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, being spoken to in such a manner was utterly unacceptable.
"What if I refuse?" Dai Mubai narrowed his eyes.
"Then I can only apologize! I'll keep hitting you until you're willing to roll out of here, considering you said the same to us earlier," Mu Chen replied with a smile.
"Gege!" Xiao Wu softly called out.
"Xiao Wu, I've said it before: anyone who dares to harm you will pay a painful price," Mu Chen said, still smiling.
"Are you sure about that?" Dai Mubai questioned.
"I am sure! If today we are the weaker ones, then it would be us rolling out of here. Those who insult others will always face insults in return!" Mu Chen's gaze turned sharp.
"You're asking for trouble. White Tiger, manifest!" Dai Mubai growled, angered.
**Third Soul Skill: White Tiger's Diamond Transformation!**
Enraged, Dai Mubai immediately unleashed his strongest soul skill.
**First Soul Skill: White Tiger's Shield!**
A milky-white protective barrier surrounded Dai Mubai. At this moment, he was entirely fired up.
Whew~
With the activation of his third soul skill, Dai Mubai's speed and strength doubled. However, relying on the Sharingan, Mu Chen found it increasingly difficult to dodge Dai Mubai's attacks and was forced into a direct confrontation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two exchanged blows in the lobby, trading punches and kicks. Anyone studying math would quickly realize that Dai Mubai was forcing Mu Chen to engage him directly. Yet, nearly every attack was blocked by Mu Chen, while Dai Mubai found himself on the receiving end of the punishment, sporting a bruised and battered face.
**Thirty Minutes Later**
The milky-white light surrounding Dai Mubai faded; his White Tiger's Diamond Transformation had reached its time limit.
Smack!
Mu Chen calmly swung his palm toward Dai Mubai's face.
"Don't hit my face!" Dai Mubai pleaded.
"Not a chance," Mu Chen replied, raising his hand again, ready to slap Dai Mubai's face.
To secure an invitation to Shrek Academy, Mu Chen was willing to go all out. Dai Mubai was the perfect target for this.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
The crisp sounds of slaps echoed throughout the lobby. Everyone present stared at Mu Chen in shock. This scene completely reshaped their understanding of strength; it was terrifying how powerful one person could be.
In no time, Dai Mubai's face was swollen on both sides, making him look like a pig!
"Will you speak to us like that again?" Mu Chen asked.
Dai Mubai shook his head vigorously.
"Alright, let's go." Mu Chen stood up, knowing when to stop.
Dai Mubai's expression darkened. The two twins, previously at his side, timidly approached, only to be pushed away by him. He was filled with suppressed anger, thinking he had just run into a wall today. The opponent hadn't even used his martial spirit, yet he had been defeated while going all out.
"Wait!" Mu Chen called out.
"What do you want now?" Dai Mubai glared at Mu Chen, wondering if he was really going to make him roll out.
As a prince, Dai Mubai was unwilling to do that. His fists clenched tightly; if Mu Chen insisted, he would have to defend his royal dignity and fight back.
"Pay up!" Mu Chen stated.
"Huh?" Dai Mubai was taken aback.
"Today, I taught you an important lesson about how there are always greater mountains and people beyond you. Don't you think you should pay for that?" Mu Chen smiled mischievously.
"Uh!"
Dai Mubai was stunned, cursing himself for not having thought of this when he was the one teaching others a lesson!
Not only was Dai Mubai dumbfounded, but the surrounding spectators also looked at Mu Chen in shock. It was unheard of to beat someone up and then extort money from them afterward.
**Soul Power +1000 Points**
As the crowd expressed their shock, the system collected another 1000 emotional points for Mu Chen.
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! Your soul power is now full and has leveled up to 29!"
Mu Chen was also taken aback. He had merely taught Dai Mubai a lesson, yet the total emotional points collected allowed him to level up!
After the initial shock, his eyes sparkled with delight.
"Five thousand gold soul coins. Once you pay, you can leave!" Mu Chen stated casually.
"Five thousand?" Dai Mubai's eyes widened, his speech slurred due to his bruised face.
Five thousand gold soul coins were enough for a family of five to live comfortably for a hundred years.
He had just been beaten up, and now he was being asked to part with a significant amount of money.
Five thousand gold soul coins was almost all the wealth Dai Mubai had on him.
Dai Mubai thought to himself, wanting to protest, but he couldn't find the words.
"Of course, you can choose to refuse. It's either pay up or roll out of here!" Mu Chen said with a smug smile.
Paying five thousand gold soul coins? For the surrounding nobles and rich second-generation heirs, this was no small sum.
Rolling out? While it was somewhat humiliating, the prospect of earning five thousand gold soul coins for a simple act of rolling didn't seem too bad either.
The surrounding nobles and wealthy heirs watched Dai Mubai with a mix of anticipation and amusement, wondering what he would choose.
Swish!
Dai Mubai touched his storage soul guide, flicking his finger to send a gold money card flying toward Mu Chen.
"Here's five thousand gold soul coins. Can I leave now?" Dai Mubai asked.
"Sure," Mu Chen nodded.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai stared at Mu Chen for a moment, as if trying to engrave Mu Chen's figure into his memory. Then, with a cold glint in his eyes, he turned and left.
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! You have successfully beaten Dai Mubai and secured Room 1314 for Xiao Wu. You have also turned Dai Mubai into a pig's head and extorted five thousand gold soul coins from him, perfectly completing the minor trial of the Chaos God's second examination. Reward: Soul Power 70,000 points; Skill Point: 1; Item: Ten Explosive Talismans!"
**Ding dong!**
"Congratulations! Your soul power is now full and has leveled up to 30!"
Mu Chen was overjoyed. Completing the minor trial of the Chaos God's second examination and gaining 70,000 soul power had pushed him directly to the next level.
