Douluo: Two brothers in douluo

Lin Fan—no, he should now be called Dai Mubai—sat up and rubbed his aching waist, unable to hold back a sigh.

"I can't keep living like this!"

Currently, Dai Mubai's spirit power was at level 37, the same as when he first appeared in the original Douluo Continent storyline.

"So that means Tang San and the others will be arriving at Shrek Academy soon?"

The academy's enrollment period was about a week away. If the plot hadn't gone awry, then Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong should either already be in Soto City or on their way here.

Gazing tenderly at Xiao Xue and Xiao Qing, Dai Mubai got up and walked toward the bathroom.

Everything that should have happened—and even things that shouldn't have—had already happened.

No matter what Zhu Zhuqing might think in the future, Dai Mubai would take responsibility!

But as soon as he shut the bathroom door, he felt a sudden wave of clarity, followed immediately by an unbearable pain that struck him like a thunderbolt. His face twisted, and his body collapsed to the floor, his figure curling up like a bow.

The agony in his head was indescribable, as if it were about to explode. This was a hundred times worse than when he had first transmigrated!

At the same time, Dai Mubai's martial spirit, the Evil Eyed White Tiger, manifested itself.

The tiger's shadow was mirroring Dai Mubai's pain, writhing in the air and letting out anguished roars.

"Roar…"

"Roar…"

Two bulges appeared simultaneously on Dai Mubai's back and on the back of the Evil Eyed White Tiger. Meanwhile, the center of Dai Mubai's forehead began to crack open.

After about half an hour, the bulges burst open, and a pair of pure white wings extended from Dai Mubai's back, unfurling majestically.

The crack in his forehead revealed a vertical eye that radiated an emotionless, supreme gaze that seemed to overlook all living beings.

Eventually, the winged and three-eyed form of the Evil Eyed White Tiger receded back into Dai Mubai's body, restoring him to his normal state.

But it wasn't over.

A figure wreathed in darkness silently appeared behind Dai Mubai.

This being wielded a long-handled scythe and wore a black cloak shrouded in mist, obscuring its face. Only a pair of indifferent, emotionless eyes glowed faintly within the shadows.

The black mist surrounding it exuded a chilling aura of death, while the sharp edge of the scythe gleamed ominously.

This was no ordinary martial spirit—this was the evolved form of the Netherworld Spirit Cat, now transformed into the Netherworld Reaper, or simply put, Death itself!

While Dai Mubai's primary martial spirit had always been the Evil Eyed White Tiger, it was well known that his clan's bloodline was intertwined with that of the Zhu family. A hidden second martial spirit—the Netherworld Spirit Cat—was not entirely surprising.

Yet this single evolution opportunity had not only transformed his Evil Eyed White Tiger but had also fully awakened and evolved his second martial spirit.

Time passed as day turned to night and back again.

When Dai Mubai opened his eyes once more, he found himself lying on a bed.

Xiao Xue and Xiao Qing were sitting tearfully by his side, refusing to leave.

"Dai Shao, you—you've finally woken up… wu wu…"

As soon as Xiao Xue saw Dai Mubai awake, her tearful expression brightened with joy. Unable to hold it in any longer, she broke down crying.

"Three days… You've been unconscious for three whole days!"

If he hadn't woken up, they would've started to believe that they were cursed—that their dear "husband-to-be" had died before they could even get married.

"Wu wu…"

Xiao Qing said nothing, but her tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

"Stop crying. I just had a small problem with my soul power circulation."

With difficulty, Dai Mubai sat up and patted both girls on the shoulders.

His voice was hoarse from not speaking for three days, and his head still felt foggy. He wasn't entirely sure what had happened.

"Really?" they asked in unison, their hopeful eyes fixed on him.

"Really!"

Dai Mubai nodded helplessly and reassured them for a while before turning his thoughts inward to his own changes.

After some time, a golden light flashed through his eyes.

"Twin martial spirits… Martial spirit evolution!"

Dai Mubai couldn't understand the sudden appearance of his second martial spirit or the evolution of his primary one.

He was certain that, in the original storyline, "he" had never possessed such an opportunity.

His memory had returned for days now, and he hadn't encountered any kind of system or cheat. Where did this martial spirit evolution and the second martial spirit come from?

"Could it be…"

Dai Mubai had a bold thought: his good brother Li Si must have met that glowing god and made a decision on his behalf!

If that were true, then…

"As expected of me—I mean, as expected of Li Si, my good brother!"

"Even though I've transmigrated as one of his most hated characters, he still treats me well!"

Dai Mubai muttered unconsciously, completely unaware that his good brother Li Si hadn't made any choice at all.

Li Si: "You shameless bastard!"

"White Tiger Saint King, Netherworld Reaper—such powerful martial spirits. It looks like I'm about to soar to the heavens!"

"My spirit power has also jumped from level 37 to level 40 after the martial spirit evolution. All I need is one more spirit ring to reach the Soul Ancestor rank."

"Hahaha! Secondary God? With my abilities now, there's no way I'll settle for anything less than becoming a Primary God!"

After a long while, Dai Mubai managed to calm himself down. Who wouldn't be overjoyed by such an enormous turn of fate?

After eating a little, he decided to rest further. His body was still weak, and he couldn't afford to think too much for now.

The next morning, Dai Mubai checked out of the Rose Hotel, escorted by Xiao Xue and Xiao Qing.

The hotel manager watched him leave with a mix of admiration and awe.

"A Soul Elder-level powerhouse… Truly amazing! Staying cooped up for days without leaving the room… Ah, youth!"

With a wistful sigh, the manager looked on. Perhaps, to ordinary people, being the manager of the famed Rose Hotel was a grand achievement. But who could know his regrets?

Once upon a time, he too dreamed of becoming a soul master respected by all…

As Dai Mubai approached the city gates, ready to escort the twin sisters home before heading back to Shrek Academy, two figures caught his attention.

The first was a rather ordinary-looking young man dressed in blue, with a belt embedded with white jade gems. He was about 1.7 meters tall.

The second was a girl in pink clothing and white shorts. Though not particularly stunning, her bunny hairpin gave her an adorable charm.

Her height exceeded that of the boy beside her, and her body proportions were… exaggerated. Her legs, in particular…

As Dai Mubai walked past with Xiao Xue and Xiao Qing in tow, the girl suddenly snorted.

"Hmph! Golden-haired freak! What are you staring at? Never seen someone as divine as Xiao Wu-jie before?"

Dai Mubai: "…"
