4: Talented Domain

As Dai Mubai's third soul skill was released, countless small White Tiger heads appeared within a five-hundred-square-meter radius, continuously striking towards Zhao Wuji.

Flander was also quick-witted, instantly taking Ma Hongjun and Oscar away from the area, while marveling internally: Mu Bai's third soul skill had actually mutated into a large-scale area-of-effect damage type soul skill. Its power was at least comparable to the terrifying level only a fifth soul skill could possess, and the moment it hit Zhao Wuji, Flander noticed that this area-of-effect damage type soul skill even seemed to carry an ability to weaken the enemy.

While Flander couldn't stop sighing, Zhao Wuji on the side was having a hard time. He hadn't even reached Dai Mubai's side when he was hit by the Gengjin White Tiger Meteor Shower. Clearly, Zhao Wuji's luck was consistently bad. The moment he was hit, he actually suffered from malevolent energy entering his body. With his speed and defense already weakened by twenty percent, all his attributes were further weakened by thirty percent.

So, even with the boost of his fourth soul skill, Dai Mubai still managed to create some distance over those few hundred meters, allowing Zhao Wuji to take the full brunt of the Gengjin White Tiger Meteor Shower. After enduring this attack, Zhao Wuji was also in a bad state, covered in wounds. After all, this was a twenty-eight-thousand-year soul skill, already comparable to the age of many people's sixth soul skills.

Unfortunately, the partially irrational Zhao Wuji, unable to tolerate it any longer, directly activated his fifth black soul ring and his second soul ring, preparing to end this battle that was making him look bad.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Press! Second Soul Skill: Great Strength Vajra Palm!"

As Zhao Wuji's fifth soul skill was released, Flander, who was marveling at how astonishing Dai Mubai's mutation was this time, couldn't sit still. He immediately activated his Martial Soul Possession and prepared to rush over.

However, when Dai Mubai was drawn within three feet of Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji unleashed a palm strike with no reservation towards Dai Mubai. The power of this palm strike made even Flander's expression change. The power of this strike was at least comparable to a top-tier Soul King's full-power attack. If hit by this strike, Dai Mubai might be severely injured. But just as he was preparing to take Dai Mubai away, Dai Mubai directly met this strike with his right hand.

This action completely panicked Flander. If Dai Mubai hadn't spoken up earlier and he had saved him, it would have been completely hopeless now. Meeting this strike head-on, Dai Mubai's right hand would definitely be fractured. Flander now only hoped that Dai Mubai's right hand wouldn't suffer any irreversible injuries. And from high in the air, Flander saw something unusual about Dai Mubai.

A glint of cunning flashed in Dai Mubai's golden eyes, because the moment he activated his third soul skill, he had quietly activated the Ji Sha Domain specifically on Zhao Wuji. At this moment, one hundred and eight layers of malevolent marks had just finished stacking.

Moreover, Dai Mubai had just quietly activated his second soul skill. A pair of black-gold energy tiger claws had attached themselves to Dai Mubai's hands, directly colliding with Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Palm.

"Boom!"

After the roaring thick smoke generated by this collision cleared, both sides shot out of the smoke and fell straight backward.

"Dai Laoda!" Ma Hongjun and Oscar exclaimed in worry simultaneously. The two of them immediately rushed straight towards the direction Dai Mubai had flown.

"Sixth..." Zhao Wuji, who had gotten up, was completely bloodthirsty. Just as he was preparing to release his sixth soul skill, the shocked and belated Flander finally managed to stop the partially irrational Zhao Wuji and roared angrily,

"Zhao Wuji! Are you crazy? This isn't a life-or-death battle! This is just a match between you and Mu Bai! You actually planned to use your sixth soul skill?!"

Following Flander's angry roar, Zhao Wuji, who was influenced by partial irrationality and the shame of losing face in front of Ma Hongjun and Oscar, finally regained his senses and repeatedly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I felt like I was being influenced. That kid's last palm strike really wasn't simple, I just subconsciously..."

Amidst Zhao Wuji's stuttering, Flander also finally guessed the rough reason. It was highly probable that Mu Bai's current third soul skill also had some hidden effect that caused Zhao Wuji to lose partial rationality. Otherwise, no matter how much Zhao Wuji cared about his reputation, even if he lost face in front of the students, he wouldn't actually think of using his sixth soul skill on a high-level Soul Venerable.

Flander, casually glancing at Zhao Wuji's hands which he had kept hidden behind him the whole time, noticed faint traces of blood. Looking down, the few drops of blood below his hands proved that Dai Mubai's second soul skill in his final strike was definitely not simple. It was able to break through Zhao Wuji's attack, which was comparable to a top-tier Soul King's strike, and even injure Zhao Wuji.

Having made up their minds, Flander and Zhao Wuji slowly walked towards Dai Mubai.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who were the first to appear by Dai Mubai's side, helped him up and couldn't help but examine his injuries thoroughly. Seeing Dai Mubai's injured right hand, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask with concern,

"Dai Laoda, is your right hand okay? It's not broken, is it?"

Dai Mubai pulled his right hand back dismissively and said proudly,

"What could be wrong with me?"

Internally, he thought: This Fatty is quite considerate, no wonder Bai Chenxiang could fancy him. However, could he please stop touching him, a grown man, like that? He still had Zhu Qing in his heart. Thinking of this, Dai Mubai felt troubled again. If he went back to save her now and exposed his mutated Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul, it would likely attract greater trouble. Currently, without enough power, he could only lie low for now.

And Oscar, looking at Dai Mubai's bleeding right hand, still couldn't help but ask with concern,

"Dai Laoda, is your hand really okay? Should I go find a healing Soul Master to take a look for you? After all, some injuries might be internal and not visible on the outside."

Just as Dai Mubai was about to refuse, Flander and Zhao Wuji were already in front of him. Flander looked at Dai Mubai and said seriously,

"Mu Bai, do you know how dangerous that was? Forcibly taking Teacher Zhao's second soul skill in that state? The power of that move was comparable to a top-tier Soul King's full-power strike! You didn't want your right hand anymore? Also, why didn't you say something in advance about having a soul skill that can make people lose partial rationality? What if I hadn't arrived in time? Do you know how dangerous it is to provoke a high-level Soul Saint?"

Seeing Flander's words, which seemed like scolding but were actually concern, Dai Mubai felt a warmth well up in his heart and explained,

"I also didn't expect Teacher Zhao's luck to be so bad. My third soul skill does have the effect of making others lose partial rationality, but the chance is only five percent. And I just quietly activated the talent Domain of my mutated Martial Soul on Teacher Zhao..."

Before Dai Mubai finished speaking, Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were present, couldn't help but exclaim in unison upon hearing "talent Domain",

"Talent Domain?!"

And Ma Hongjun and Oscar, seeing their surprised expressions, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but ask, "Flander Laoshi, what is a Talent Domain?"

Looking at his disciples' curious appearance, Flander cleared his throat and explained, "Domains are always terrifying skills. Even at the Title Douluo stage, a Title Douluo with a Domain can easily defeat a Title Douluo of the same level without one. For example, the current Pope Bibidong and Tang Hao both possess the Killing God Domain, and a Talent Domain is even more remarkable. According to current records, only those from the Angel God lineage can obtain this legendary Talent Domain."

After explaining, Flander looked at Dai Mubai and said seriously, "Mu Bai, from now on, unless absolutely necessary, never display your Domain in front of outsiders, and even more so, never mention the words 'Talent Domain'. The extent of your Martial Soul mutation this time is more terrifying than I expected. I will arrange for a Grandmaster specializing in Martial Souls to study your mutated Martial Soul to prevent you from taking detours in the future."

"Then isn't Dai Laoda even stronger? He can just take me and rampage around?" Ma Hongjun said, looking at Dai Mubai with an expression of worship after hearing this.

"You kid, being strong yourself is the way to go. Be careful Mu Bai looks down on you, this lazy bum. Remember not to let a fifth person know what was said today." Looking at Ma Hongjun, whose first reaction was to become complacent, Flander shook his head helplessly.

"A bit unlucky... Mu Bai, your Domain should also have multiple effects, right? Otherwise, the effect of your final second soul skill would be a bit too tyrannical."

Zhao Wuji's face twitched slightly as he looked at Dai Mubai, who said his luck was bad, but he still voiced the doubt in his heart.
