The divine trials are not that easy to pass.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were stuck at the sixth trial. It turns out that finding soul bones of the same origin, especially those over fifty thousand years old, is incredibly difficult.
This is almost an impossible task!
Even with the resources of an entire kingdom, they couldn't gather a complete set of soul bones of the same origin, let alone ones over fifty thousand years old.
With no other choice, they could only try to choose soul bones of relatively high quality.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun had just absorbed a soul bone and were sitting together, resting and celebrating their breakthrough.
Absorbing soul bones that are not of the same origin was a last resort, as even the entire Star Luo Empire couldn't provide the most perfect soul bone configuration.
Being able to absorb high-quality soul bones was already a testament to the Star Luo Empire's depth of resources.
Ma Hongjun altered at Dai Mubai sitting across from him and suddenly, as if struck by an idea, his eyes lit up.
"Hey, Boss Dai, did you forget something important?"
After saying this, Ma Hongjun subconsciously looked at Dai Mubai's hair, its color still didn't sit right with him!
Although puzzled, Dai Mubai asked, "What is it?"
Ma Hongjun continued to stare at Dai Mubai's hair, his gaze quite expressed, his face showing a strange expression.
"Boss Dai, your head, it's a bit green."
After a while, Ma Hongjun finally spoke in a soft voice.
"???"
Dai Mubai was stunned, his mind filled with question marks. How could his golden hair turn green?
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Dai Mubai clenched his fist and punched Ma Hongjun on the shoulder.
"You damn fatty, always bring up the wrong things!"
Ma Hongjun didn't dodge, taking the punch squarely. Although it didn't hurt, he acted as if it did.
"Ah~"
Dai Mubai rolled his eyes. He knew how much force he had used; there was no way Ma Hongjun was actually hurt.
Silence, a deathly silence.
Seeing Dai Mubai remain silent, Ma Hongjun also quieted down, falling into silence.
Back then, Dai Mubai had been utterly humiliated, having his engagement with Zhu Zhuqing broken off in front of so many people.
That was bad enough, but it was just a matter of time and circumstances, don't bully the young and poor!
But Zhu Zhuqing actually moved into the Crown Prince's residence!
As the fiancée of the Star Luo Empire's prince, she had moved into the residence of the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince!
This was just...
"The events of that time are still vivid in my mind; I haven't forgotten."
After a while, Dai Mubai spoke with a serious expression.
At this moment, there was no trace of his usual frivolity on his face, only anger and shame.
If he didn't avenge this, he would surely die with regret!
Such humiliation was a massive blow to a man with a strong sense of pride.
"It's time to teach Zhu Zhuqing a lesson and make her pay for what she did back then."
A flash of killing intent appears in Dai Mubai's eyes; clearly, he was ready to get serious.
"I don't believe Xue Qinghe would dare to go to war with us over a girl from the Zhu family!"
Given Dai Mubai's current status in the Star Luo Empire, it wasn't impossible for the royal family to go to war for him.
The Star Luo royal family had always wanted to start a war; if they could use this as an excuse, why not?
The Heaven Dou Empire was already weaker than the Star Luo Empire. If it wasn't for the Spirit Hall's intervention, the Star Luo Empire would have already unified the Douluo Continent.
"Boss Dai, you need to think carefully. Zhu Zhuqing knows the Martial God."
Ma Hongjun said with some apprehension, which was one of the reasons why the royal family hadn't made a move against Zhu Zhuqing yet.
As for the Heaven Dou Emperor Xue Qinghe, in the eyes of the Star Luo Emperor, he was just a young man, not worth considering.
The only obstacle is Zhongli, the Rock King of the Heaven Dou Empire!
Hearing this, Dai Mubai shook his head and smiled disdainfully, saying, "Knowing him is one thing, but who doesn't know that they're just acquaintances?"
"Do you not know the Martial God, or do I not?"
Dai Mubai spread his hands. What did it matter if they were just acquaintances?
As if reminding something funny, Dai Mubai awkwardly smiled and said, "Back then, they went to a hotel together, but it was just for a meal. I once doubted the Martial God's character, but I was wrong."
Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment before saying, "I remember that. Back then, you and I went to that place because of it..."
As for what "that place" was, those who know, know.
"Damn fatty, let's not bring that up."
They were now divine heirs; such things shouldn't be spread around.
Dai Mubai had a reputation to maintain!
"I know the Martial God's character and strength are top-notch. I have no reason to oppose him, but from the moment we first met, we were already enemies."
Back then, Dai Mubai had his hands in his pockets, not knowing what it meant to have an opponent.
When he first arrived in Heaven Dou City, he saw Zhongli and Paimon.
Because Zhongli stood out and because of the way Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, Dai Mubai was furious!
Thinking back now, Dai Mubai even feels that the entire Douluo Continent should thank him.
If it wasn't for Dai Mubai's recklessness, Zhongli, with his temperament, probably wouldn't have revealed his strength.
If Zhongli hadn't revealed his strength, Xiao Feilian, Du Siji, and the like wouldn't have appeared, and the Body Sect wouldn't have emerged...
"Huh???"
At this thought, Dai Mubai felt like he was the worst.
After all this, it turns out Dai Mubai was the "source of all evil"?
"So, this fight has no heroes or villains; it's just a matter of life and death."
"A fight for pride!"
"Enough, let's talk about this after we become gods."
Ma Hongjun pouted. What kind of talk was this about brothers fighting together?
He had a feeling that he and Dai Mubai would end up like cannon fodder...
After all, Zhongli was feared by someone even the "old" gods. Even if they became gods, they'd still be new gods. Could they really defeat Zhongli?
Ma Hongjun didn't voice this thought; he was afraid Dai Mubai would think he was disloyal.
Brotherhood doesn't change because the enemy is strong. Knowing it's impossible but still doing it, that's brotherhood.
If we can win, we'll fight together.
If we can't, we'll take the fall together.
"Let's talk about Zhu Zhuqing first. What are you planning to do?"
Now, both he and Dai Mubai were Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. After obtaining their soul rings and absorbing the remaining soul bones, they might even reach the peak Soul Douluo level.
Not to mention the divine trial rewards, soaring to new heights wasn't impossible.
"What else can we do?"
"After completing the sixth trial, we'll head to Heaven Dou City and take her down!"
If all goes well, this move could make them Titled Douluos. With two Titled Douluos arriving, plus Dai Mubai's status, what could Zhu Zhuqing do to resist?
Heaven Dou City, the palace.
"What did you say?"
