Chapter 136: Absolute Strength Overwhelming
Although Dai Mubai insisted he had only been careless, he knew the truth. Even if he took that punch again, he might not be able to dodge it.
After so many fights in the Suotuo City Grand Arena, he was not a complete idiot. Dai Mubai had his own judgment, and from that single blow, he had already gained a rough understanding of Yu Tianlin's strength. This kid was indeed a tough opponent.
But the claim of only using 3 tenths of his strength was too absurd. Dai Mubai did not believe it.
No matter what happened before, now that he had activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation, he was sure he would win.
"Since you've already seen my White Tiger Vajra Transformation," Dai Mubai said coldly, "now it's my turn to see yours!"
The immense power surging through his body filled him with confidence. His evil eyes locked onto Yu Tianlin, and he lunged forward again.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu frowned and whispered into Tang San's ear, "Brother, didn't that guy say he's Master's nephew? Are we still supposed to help him?"
"The Blue Silver Grass seed I left on Dai Mubai was shattered by his thousand year Spirit Skill, so I can't use Parasitism," Tang San said in a low voice. "If I use Blue Silver Grass to bind him, it'll be torn apart by his claws."
"As for your soft techniques, Xiao Wu, close combat with Dai Mubai in this state is too dangerous. Let's watch for now. Master's nephew isn't as simple as he looks."
Tang San clearly remembered what he had seen with his Purple Demon Eye earlier. That punch was fast, heavy, and smooth. It was not something an ordinary person could do. So he chose to observe.
Yu Tianlin raised an eyebrow as he watched Dai Mubai charge again.
It seemed his earlier punch had been too light, making Dai Mubai misjudge his strength and still dare to attack.
It made sense.
White Tiger Protective Barrier combined with White Tiger Vajra Transformation could boost Dai Mubai's attack, defense, and strength by 150%. With that kind of increase, it was natural for his confidence to soar.
But that 150% was still based on Dai Mubai's original physical foundation.
A Spirit Master's physical attributes were tied to the Spirit Rings they absorbed. The higher the ring's age, the greater the improvement.
Even if Dai Mubai's 3 Spirit Rings were calculated at their maximum age limits, the total was only around 3,000 years.
And Yu Tianlin?
Even ignoring his third Spirit Ring, which mainly strengthened mental power, Yu Tianlin's first Spirit Ring was 7,000 years, his second was 1,800 years, and his fourth was 10,000 years. That was already close to 20,000 years combined.
On top of that, Yu Tianlin had absorbed 2 Spirit Bones, greatly raising his physical attributes, far beyond what those ring ages alone suggested.
So Yu Tianlin's body was simply on another level compared to Dai Mubai.
Even if Dai Mubai amplified himself by 150%, it still would not be enough.
Dai Mubai would need to reach level 40, obtain a nearly 5,000 year Spirit Ring, and raise his base physique significantly. Only then, with both White Tiger Protective Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation stacked, would he barely be qualified to fight Yu Tianlin.
As for now, Yu Tianlin did not even need to use his Martial Soul. With pure physical strength alone, he could crush Dai Mubai, even with 2 self amplification skills active.
In the next instant, Dai Mubai's shining tiger claws reached Yu Tianlin, ready to tear into him.
At that moment, Yu Tianlin also lifted his hands, as if he planned to block those sharp claws barehanded.
But just as their hands were about to collide, Yu Tianlin's palms flipped.
He slipped past the claws and directly grabbed Dai Mubai's wrists.
Dai Mubai's expression changed instantly.
Yu Tianlin's grip was like an iron hoop. Dai Mubai's claws could not move forward even an inch, and he could not pull back either.
"How can this kid be this strong?" Dai Mubai's heart shook. "This is ridiculous!"
Seeing Dai Mubai's sudden expression shift, Yu Tianlin smiled faintly.
"I told you," he said, "that punch only used 3 tenths of my strength."
"Hmph."
Dai Mubai did not answer, only snorted coldly. His right leg whipped out, kicking fiercely toward Yu Tianlin's abdomen.
If his hands were restrained, then he would strike with his leg.
Dai Mubai was fast, but Yu Tianlin was faster.
Yu Tianlin's foot snapped out like lightning and struck Dai Mubai's hamstring.
Dai Mubai's leg went weak, and a powerful force drove him down onto one knee.
He tried to resist, but Yu Tianlin's hands tightened around his wrists and twisted sharply. Pain exploded through Dai Mubai's arms, and cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead.
Both hands were controlled, and one leg had been broken down, but that did not mean Dai Mubai was completely helpless.
He could still use his second Spirit Skill, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, the beam of Spirit energy from his mouth. He could aim it straight at Yu Tianlin's head.
"Don't struggle, it's useless."
Yu Tianlin's senses were too sharp. The moment Dai Mubai's breath and energy shifted, Yu Tianlin reacted.
He tightened his grip and twisted Dai Mubai's arms 180 degrees.
Under that intense pain, Dai Mubai's Spirit energy scattered. The power he had been quietly gathering for the second Spirit Skill instantly collapsed and dispersed.
With Dai Mubai's last resistance crushed, Yu Tianlin spoke calmly.
"Just like you said to Tang San earlier, there's an absolute power gap between you and me. You're no match for me."
Tang San felt a strange urge to sigh. You two were fighting just fine, why drag me into this? So if you can crush Dai Mubai, and Dai Mubai can crush me, then I, Tang San, am basically just a target for my Zhuge Crossbow.
"You… you didn't even use your Martial Soul. How can you be this strong?" Dai Mubai was not a sore loser. He had lost plenty of times in the Suotuo Grand Arena. But he was still shaken by what he was seeing.
"Yeah," Yu Tianlin said lightly. "I'm really this strong."
Even Yu Tianlin was a little dazed.
He was 3 years younger than Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai was a jerk, sure, but among his peers, his strength was still top tier. Yet Yu Tianlin could suppress him without even using his Martial Soul.
Before this, Yu Tianlin had always fought older seniors. Most of the time, he was the one being suppressed.
He had not expected that fighting someone of the same generation would be this easy.
But that was not enough.
He needed to be even stronger.
For a brief moment, Yu Tianlin sank into the sense of superiority his power brought. Then his strong mental resilience pulled him back immediately.
Crushing a mere 3 ring Spirit Master meant nothing.
He was still far, far away from being able to match them.
