Douluo: Let me loot an airdrop first.

Chapter 21: I, Ning, have always been fair in my dealings!

"Brother Ning, what brings you here too?" Xiao Wu turned her head at the sound of the voice and immediately saw Ning Yuanshan standing at the door with a beautiful woman with a stunning figure, watching the commotion.

Dai Mubai also turned his head to look at him, and with just one glance, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and then he couldn't take his eyes off him.

"What are you looking at? Are we still going to fight or not? Aren't you scared?" Xiao Wu urged impatiently. She couldn't stand Dai Mubai's lewd behavior in broad daylight. How could he be looking at beautiful women when a fight was about to break out? This made Xiao Wu even more disgusted with him. She was waiting for her third brother to teach Dai Mubai a lesson before she could catch up with Ning Yuanshan.

Upon seeing Ning Yuanshan, Tang San also felt a surge of anger, unable to suppress his urge to fight. It's worth noting that in the original story, Tang San harbored the idea of ​​dying together with Dai Mubai. In the book, he didn't care what would happen to Xiao Wu after his death, or whether he would face retaliation from Dai Mubai's powerful backers—after all, Dai Mubai's extraordinary background was obvious at a glance. This incident, however, was merely a dispute over a room.

With Ning Yuanshan present, even if Ning Yuanshan didn't intervene to help him, he could still take care of Xiao Wu after his death, right? Tang San thought to himself, his heart burning with even more fierce battle intent.

"Then let's go..." Tang San and Dai Mubai finally made their move, and soon they were locked in a fierce battle.

Ning Yuanshan watched Tang San and Dai Mubai's battle intently. Back at Notting Academy, Ning Yuanshan had sparred with Tang San many times, but he had never won, even when Tang San didn't use any hidden weapons.

The Tang Sect's martial arts techniques were already incredibly powerful, yet Tang San still managed to encounter so many extraordinary events. He was like a chosen one, which was why Ning Yuanshan was reluctant to be his enemy. However, the longer Ning Yuanshan stayed in the Douluo World, the stronger his sense of crisis grew that he would become Tang San's adversary.

"White Tiger, Possess!" Dai Mubai and Tang San exchanged several blows, but neither gained the upper hand. At this moment, Dai Mubai had already begun to use the power of his martial soul. Tang San also changed somewhat. If one observed carefully, one would notice that his eyes were now covered with a layer of purple light. Ning Yuanshan knew that Tang San had once again entered a state of frenzy, and he was going to fight desperately.

Watching Tang San's endless array of techniques, Ning Yuanshan was filled with envy. Tang San, who only used Blue Silver Grass, was clearly a control-type Soul Master, but his numerous cheat-like abilities transformed him into a power-attack type Soul Master. What man wouldn't want to engage in a satisfying close-quarters battle with his enemy?

"Comparison is the thief of joy..." Ning Yuanshan, lacking soul skills, still has no means of offensive maneuvering. He can hold his own against level 30 soul masters for a couple of moves, but he's powerless against anyone stronger. "I wonder when I'll reach level 30 and unlock the next category of airdrop weapons, or if I'll ever have a chance to get a soul bone..."

Tang San's second spirit ring is consistent with the original story; he obtained it by hunting the Ghost Vine. His first spirit ring came from the ten-year-old spirit beast, Gu Zhu, and he gained a spirit skill called "Blue Silver Shield." Compared to the original story, Tang San's strength has declined significantly, so after both sides used their spirits, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

In the original novel, Tang San's strength was purely due to his extraordinary luck. Both the Mandala Snake and the Ghost Vine, these two soul beasts, not only endowed the Blue Silver Grass with extremely strong toughness, but also produced considerable toxicity.

With both attributes being strong, how could such a good thing be possible? If one were to cultivate along this path, wouldn't the owner of the Ghost Vine Martial Soul be able to easily defeat Tang San? "Tang San's strength must also be due to the fact that the age of the spirit rings he absorbed far exceeded that of ordinary spirit masters..."

As Ning Yuanshan was lost in thought, Tang San gradually found himself at a disadvantage. Compared to his weakened state in the original story, Tang San was finding it increasingly difficult to deal with Dai Mubai. His Blue Silver Grass was easily torn apart by Dai Mubai's tiger claws. However, this only made Dai Mubai underestimate Tang San further, to the point that he didn't even notice the Blue Silver Grass seeds already parasitizing around him. With a soft laugh from Tang San, dense vines grew wildly, wrapping around Dai Mubai layer by layer, while simultaneously injecting neurotoxins into his skin.

"Break!" Dai Mubai had participated in several Soul Battles, and his combat experience was not to be underestimated. The moment his body went numb, he knew he had been poisoned. Therefore, he disregarded the consumption of his soul power, struggled to break free of the restraints, and charged towards Tang San.

The second spirit ring shone like silver snow. "White Tiger Blazing Light Wave!" The intense light, gathered from almost all of Dai Mubai's spirit power, enveloped Tang San. With a "whoosh" sound, when Tang San was seen again, he was kneeling on the ground with his bare buttocks exposed, and his eyebrows and hair were all singed off.

"Third Brother!" Xiao Wu cried out in alarm, her martial spirit instantly activating as she charged towards Dai Mubai.

"Xiao Wu, come back! He's already holding back..." Ning Yuanshan couldn't stop the furious Xiao Wu in time, seeing her close to Dai Mubai in the blink of an eye. Then, she unleashed her graceful skills in an instant. Dai Mubai was in the heat of battle with Tang San, and his mind was entirely on Tang San. He was also bound by the parasitic seed, so he couldn't dodge in time.

Dai Mubai's neck was tightly clamped between Xiao Wu's long legs. "First Soul Skill! Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu stretched her entire body out like a large, curved bow. The light of her first spirit ring instantly covered her entire body. Then, like a fully drawn bow suddenly exerting its force, she flung Dai Mubai's body away.

The immense force successfully knocked Dai Mubai to the ground. But it also ignited the White Tiger's rage. In front of his two lovers, and in full view of everyone, how could he, Young Master Dai, be beaten down by a mere girl? How could he tolerate this?

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation." Although Dai Mubai couldn't dodge in time, he successfully released the third soul skill when Xiao Wu closed in. Therefore, Xiao Wu's attack was ineffective for him, only extremely embarrassing.

"Hey!" Dai Mubai roared, springing up from the ground and delivering two powerful punches. Xiao Wu was also a close-combat, offensive-type Soul Master, but her cultivation level was a notch below Dai Mubai's. Moreover, under the "White Tiger Vajra Transformation" Soul Skill, Dai Mubai's attack power, defense power, and strength all doubled simultaneously. With his level 37 Soul Power, under such a boost, Xiao Wu was instantly sent flying.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, and he had already gripped the hidden weapon in his hand. If he hadn't jumped up to catch Xiao Wu, the hidden weapon would have already been launched.

"Xiao Wu is alright, he didn't use much force..." Ning Yuanshan quickly used his second soul skill, taking out adrenaline and standing between the two. "My needle is very big, just bear with it," Ning Yuanshan then inserted a needle into Tang San and Xiao Wu respectively.

Dai Mubai underestimated Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. Clearly, the Blue Silver Grass's poison wasn't invisible and odorless; he could smell it but didn't take it seriously? After inhaling the neurotoxin, the seeds wouldn't be detected, but was Tang San's first soul skill, "White Tiger Protective Barrier," just for show? Why not just keep it on and use it for defense?

Dai Mubai fought a humiliating battle, but because Tang San's strength was not as good as in the original story, and especially because the Blue Silver Grass was not enhanced by the two layers of poison from the Mandala Snake and the Ghost Vine, Dai Mubai actually managed to unleash a fatal attack without using his third soul skill, while his whole body was paralyzed and out of control.

Unlike the original story, he could only defeat Tang San by relying on his third soul skill.

However, Dai Mubai's second soul skill, the light blast, successfully hit Tang San, but he himself was also poisoned and paralyzed for a moment. Therefore, Xiao Wu intervened, forcing him to use his third soul skill to counteract the negative effects.

With Tang San and Xiao Wu side by side, and without using his third soul skill "White Tiger Vajra Transformation" while his body was paralyzed, Dai Mubai indeed couldn't win. However, since he had previously said that Tang San and Xiao Wu should attack together, it couldn't be considered a victory.

It was clearly a fight where the outcome was ultimately unimportant, yet Tang San harbored the intention of taking everyone down with him. Ning Yuanshan didn't know how to evaluate it.

"His injury... is healed already?" Dai Mubai was about to step forward to inquire about him when he was surprised to see that Tang San, who had just been lying in a corpse-like state, had regained his rosy complexion after receiving an acupuncture.

Dai Mubai had originally wanted to ask a few more questions about what kind of martial soul possessed such miraculous effects. However, seeing Xiao Wu's ferocious and ruthless appearance, he held back. Since Tang San and the others were coming to Shrek Academy anyway, Dai Mubai was too lazy to argue with San and Wu. So he gave his name, left a message saying "See you at Shrek Academy," and walked away nonchalantly with the two sisters.

"Stop! Dai Mubai, you two have wrecked the hotel like this, it's not right to just turn around and leave, is it?" Ning Yuanshan suddenly spoke up, stopping Dai Mubai who was busy with the two sisters' love affair, as if the matter wouldn't be resolved without paying compensation.

In the original story, it seems that Dai Mubai lost money, but he settled it later on an account, not on the spot. Moreover, Dai Mubai paid the full amount without asking Tang Sanhua for a single penny. It has to be said that the fugitive prince had some resources.

But Ning Yuanshan was always straightforward and to the point. He stopped Dai Mubai and righteously persuaded him to stop trying to cover all the losses. In the end, Dai and Tang each paid half, which resulted in Tang San losing all the money he had painstakingly saved over the years.
