Chapter 133 Trouble Comes Knocking
"I remember what you said." A ball of spiritual energy appeared in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
Seeing Dai Luoli's excited expression, Ye Nanxiao slowly pressed the ball of spiritual energy in his hand into Dai Luoli's body.
"Relax, don't resist. I need to understand the current state of your martial spirit."
Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli stood still, but since it concerned the complete awakening of his martial soul, he was still subconsciously nervous.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right back in a bit," Dai Luoli said quickly, taking a deep breath and trying to relax.
Ye Nanxiao smiled and controlled his mental energy to probe around Dai Luoli's martial soul.
I slightly stimulated Dai Luoli's martial soul with my mental energy, and the dim part of it slowly brightened for a moment before quickly returning to its original state.
Feeling a sharp, stinging pain inside her body, Dai Luoli subconsciously frowned.
"This method is feasible." Ye Nanxiao planned to use external stimulation and pressure to force Dai Luoli's martial soul to awaken.
"Something stung my body, and then I felt a power I couldn't feel suddenly appear inside me." Dai Luoli stroked her chest, feeling the situation inside her body, trying to find the power that Ye Nanxiao had stimulated.
"This place won't do. We need to find a more spacious place. Your awakening will be quite a spectacle then." Ye Nanxiao led Dai Luoli away from Juxing Hall and headed to Xingluo Royal Academy, where the arena was spacious enough.
Along the way, Ye Nanxiao attracted a lot of attention, and the two of them booked an entire arena.
With a wave of his hand, he raised massive ice cages, connecting them to surround the entire arena, all while ensuring no one could disturb him during the process.
Dai Luoli rubbed his hands together, feeling an unusual chill from the spreading icy mist around him.
"Sit cross-legged, summon your martial spirit, then relax, and leave the rest to me." A strong spiritual fluctuation rose from Ye Nanxiao's body.
Dai Luoli summoned her martial spirit, sat cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
"It might hurt a little bit, but believe me, it'll only hurt a little bit." Ye Nanxiao squinted, his right index finger and thumb almost touching, leaving a tiny gap.
Before Dai Luoli could answer, Ye Nanxiao's mental energy surged up and engulfed Dai Luoli completely.
The martial soul directly surrounded Dai Luoli, and a strong pressure suddenly descended, oppressing Dai Luoli.
Dai Luoli let out a low growl, gritted his teeth, and braced himself to resist, veins bulging on his forehead.
He really wanted to ask Ye Nanxiao a question: "You promised it would only hurt a little bit?"
Stimulated by the strong mental energy from the outside world, Dai Luoli's own martial spirit began to operate on its own to protect herself.
A layer of white light rose from Dai Luoli's body and quickly enveloped her.
"White Tiger Protective Barrier, huh? Did the White Tiger Duke tame a whole bunch of the same soul beasts?" Ye Nanxiao circled around Dai Luoli twice, increasing his pressure once more.
This caused Dai Luoli to suddenly drop to the ground, her eyes bloodshot, gritting her teeth and remaining silent.
Under Ye Nanxiao's control, the dim part of Dai Luoli's martial soul began to light up, and white hair with a crystalline color grew on the surface of her body.
"Once your martial soul is fully awakened and becomes powerful, no one will say that there is still a difference in status between you and Xu Yun." Ye Nanxiao whispered, as strands of spiritual power dispersed to protect Dai Luoli's spiritual sea and incidentally stimulated the emotional area.
Almost the instant Ye Nanxiao finished speaking, Dai Luoli's own mental energy began to resist and counterattack Ye Nanxiao's mental energy.
"Sister Yun!" Dai Luoli roared, his eyes bloodshot, his tiger claws digging deep into the floor as he used all his strength to lift his body up.
Ye Nanxiao's lips curled up. Dai Luoli's martial soul needed strong stimulation to fully awaken, and emotions provided just that stimulation, especially love, which was simply the best catalyst for teenage boys.
A hazy white tiger phantom appeared behind Dai Luoli, with specks of shimmering starlight emanating from Dai Luoli's body merging into the white tiger phantom behind him.
As the starlight merged in, the phantom of the white tiger gradually became clearer.
A series of booming sounds resounded within Dai Luoli's body, and flames seemed to rise in his eyes.
However, Ye Nanxiao frowned as he sensed Dai Luoli's elusive aura. Dai Luoli was still missing the final step of solidifying her mutated martial soul.
Ye Nanxiao's martial spirit quietly possessed him, wagging his nine fluffy tails, and his aura surged.
He wanted to step in and directly help Dai Luoli break through the final obstacle.
One finger was pointed at Dai Luoli's forehead, carrying Dai Luoli's own spiritual power as it broke through.
As a sound like shattering glass emanated from within Dai Luoli's body, Dai Luoli's aura suddenly surged.
"Aaaaaah!!" Dai Luoli roared like a tiger.
A stream of blood-red light rose from Dai Luoli's body and landed on the white tiger phantom behind him, turning the phantom into a blood tiger.
The Blood Tiger slowly descended and merged into Dai Luoli's body, causing the crimson in Dai Luoli's eyes to shrink, eventually becoming a blood-red pupil that attached itself to the original black pupil.
Feeling the new power, Dai Luoli's face was full of excitement as she raised her tiger paw to examine it.
Ye Nanxiao nodded in satisfaction, pleased to have gained a very good little fanboy.
Realizing the dramatic changes within himself, Dai Luoli couldn't help but let out a long howl to release all the pent-up frustration in his heart.
"Your cultivation speed will increase significantly from now on. Previously, you only cultivated half of your martial soul, so your speed was naturally slow. Your White Tiger martial soul is a mutated martial soul, which is much stronger than a regular White Tiger martial soul in terms of spirit." Ye Nanxiao pointed to Dai Luoli and explained the changes in his Blood Tiger martial soul.
After listening with barely suppressed excitement, Dai Luoli punched the air hard and exclaimed excitedly, "Finally, I can cultivate smoothly! When I become strong enough, I can marry Sister Yun!"
The first thing I thought of was still love!
Ye Nanxiao coughed twice and said, "Do you remember the three things I asked you to do before?"
Dai Luoli immediately stood at attention, looked at Ye Nanxiao seriously, and said, "Of course I remember. From now on, Brother Ye, you are Luoli's benefactor. As long as it's within my ability, I will do whatever it takes!"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, extended a finger with his right hand, and said, "The first thing is that now that your martial spirit has awakened, I need you to go to the army and quickly improve your status until you can command a medium-sized army."
Ye Nanxiao didn't explain why, and Dai Luoli didn't think about the deeper reasons either, nodding in agreement.
"The second thing is that once you have control of the army, you must marry Xu Yun. This just happens to suit your wishes." Ye Nanxiao shook two fingers.
Dai Luoli was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with joy.
"As for the third point..."
"Excuse me!" A loud shout came from outside the ice prison.
Ye Nanxiao and Dai Luoli turned to look at the source of the sound.
He gave Dai Luoli a wink, and the latter immediately understood and withdrew his martial spirit into his body.
With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the ice prison.
Five people stood at the edge of the arena, looking at Ye Nanxiao and his companion with indifferent expressions.
The middle-aged man with a goatee, who was in the lead, glanced at Ye Nanxiao and said coldly to Dai Luoli, "Fourth Young Master, please exchange the White Tiger Token. The young master took the White Tiger Token without permission, and the madam is very angry."
His tone was utterly impolite, showing no regard for Dai Luoli's identity.
Ye Nanxiao frowned; the tone of the goatee in front of him was very unpleasant.
"The White Tiger Token was given to each of us by Father. This White Tiger Token is mine. Do I need to ask Lady White Tiger to take my own things?" Dai Luoli roared.
"Fourth Young Master, this is Madam's will. Are you sure you want to resist? Doing so will only put your mother in a difficult position." The goatee sneered twice, making no attempt to conceal the threat in his words.
Dai Luoli clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment, and turned to look at Ye Nanxiao.
"Don't even think about it. If Lady White Tiger wants it, let her come and get it herself!"
Now that his martial spirit has fully awakened, Dai Luoli has gained a lot of confidence. Unlike his previous slow cultivation speed, he is now confident that he can catch the eye of the White Tiger Duke.
Goatee's face darkened; he hadn't expected that Dai Luoli, who usually obeyed after a few threats, would be so tough today.
"Could this kid have gotten close to some big shot?" the goatee thought to himself.
Recalling Dai Luoli's actions just now, Goatbeck turned his gaze to Ye Nanxiao and carefully observed him.
A look of amazement flashed in the goatee's eyes. Working under Lady White Tiger, he must have some discernment. Almost instantly, the goatee concluded that the extraordinary Ye Nanxiao was Dai Luoli's backer.
"Is Fourth Young Master following this young friend? May I ask how this young friend is addressed? I am the steward of the White Tiger Duke's mansion. May I ask who your master is?" the goatee asked.
"Ye Nanxiao, from the Tang Clan." Frost appeared between Ye Nanxiao's right hands. The goatee in front of him relied on Lady White Tiger as his backer and was very likely to make a move against Dai Luoli to forcibly seize the White Tiger Token.
Having just made friends with his new underlings, Ye Nanxiao naturally couldn't let them bully him.
Tang Sect? That declining sect? The goatee's expression relaxed. Since it wasn't a sect with any powerful background, there was no need to fear making enemies with it.
"Fourth Young Master, you'd better hand over the White Tiger Token as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we roughnecks ask for your permission and are late, we won't be able to explain ourselves." The goatee waved his hand, and the four men behind him lined up in a row, slowly approaching Ye Nanxiao and his companion in an encircling formation.
"You!" Dai Luoli roared, about to possess his martial spirit.
Ye Nanxiao pressed Dai Luoli down with one hand.
"Brother Ye, these people are Madam White Tiger's lackeys!" Dai Luoli said angrily.
"I know, I know. It just so happens that I have a grudge against Madam White Tiger, so let me do it," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Young friend, have you thought this through? To become an enemy of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!" the goatee said sternly.
Ye Nanxiao spread his spiritual power, enveloping the entire area.
"All five of them are Soul Masters. It seems that the White Tiger Duke's mansion has not sent out its high-end combat force," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
The four burly men were imbued with martial spirits and assumed fighting stances.
Ye Nanxiao turned to Dai Luoli and said, "Watch closely, these people are about to get a really bad beating."
Seeing that Ye Nanxiao was willing to stand up for her, Dai Luoli felt a warmth in her heart and nodded emphatically.
Ye Nanxiao's eyes were filled with blue light, and all nine tails were covered with a faint glow.
The chilling air slowed the four burly men's movements.
Then, all four of them, including the goatee, were horrified. In their wide-open eyes, they saw thick icicles reflected in their reflections.
The icicles were as thick as buckets and exuded a strong chill.
A red light flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes, and a powerful pressure descended.
The four were enveloped by this oppressive aura, and their minds became hazy. They saw a terrifying, enormous phantom behind Ye Nanxiao. In front of this phantom, the four felt their martial spirits being suppressed, and fear arose in their hearts.
The flock of birds unleashed their full power, sending a deluge of ice spikes raining down.
The four burly men were powerless to resist such an attack.
Ye Nanxiao looked at the goatee with a smile and said, "Are you leaving on your own, or staying here as an ice sculpture?"
Looking at the four people frozen into ice sculptures, Goatbeck recalled the huge phantom behind Ye Nanxiao just now, and hurriedly used his soul power to roll up the four ice sculptures and run away.
