Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head.

"Father!"

"Your subject has something to present!"

"Why don't you look at this first, and then consider how to deal with your son?"

He trembled as he took something out of his pocket.

It was a staff about one and a half meters long, dark gold in color, with a dull star-shaped crystal embedded in the head of the staff. It was inconspicuous and even a little broken.

It was the Starfall Staff that he had previously purchased at the auction.

Seeing this, Davis scoffed and took a step forward.

"My dear brother, even now, you still think you can get away with something like this?"

"My father and I already knew about the auction in Nasoto City."

"This Starfall Staff is said to have been a legendary soul tool forged by a powerful figure with his life, but now it has less than one-tenth of its energy left, making it nothing more than a useless item. The high price it fetches is entirely due to hype."

"You went bankrupt just to buy this piece of trash?"

Dai Mubai ignored Davis's mockery, holding the Starfall Staff in both hands and raising it high above his head.

"Father!"

"Please infuse your soul power into it and point it towards the heavens."

"Afterwards, you only need to meditate and cultivate for a short while to know its true effects!"

Seeing Dai Mubai's desperate gamble, Davis frowned slightly, feeling suspicious.

Could there be something special about this broken stick?

Emperor Xingluo, seated high on his throne, maintained his cold and stern expression.

He stared at the short staff in Dai Mubai's hand, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Bring it here."

Upon hearing this, a palace attendant carefully took the Starfall Staff from Dai Mubai's hand and respectfully presented it to the Star Luo Emperor.

Emperor Xingluo grasped the short staff; it was icy to the touch, and a faint energy fluctuation emanated from its shaft.

He glanced at Dai Mubai, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Immediately, following Dai Mubai's instructions, he slowly channeled his powerful soul energy into the Starfall Staff.

Buzz—

A soft chime.

The dim star-shaped crystal at the top of the staff suddenly lit up with a faint light, like the last glow of a dying star.

Emperor Xingluo held a short staff and pointed it at the dome of the main hall.

He closed his eyes and meditated.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Dai Mubai's heart was pounding in his chest, and his palms were sweating profusely.

Davis watched with a leisurely air, a sneer of anticipation playing on his lips.

Suddenly! The Star Luo Emperor abruptly opened his eyes, a terrifying glint flashing within them!

The starlight emanating from the head of the Starfall Staff in his hand suddenly intensified.

A barely perceptible dark golden ray shot out from the tip of the staff, pierced through the palace roof, connected with the distant starry sky, and drew the power of the stars down.

Then, the Star Luo Emperor's body trembled slightly.

He felt that the long-dormant White Tiger Martial Soul within him was now becoming active, emitting bursts of eager roars!

A surge of extremely pure stellar power is now flowing through the staff and into his limbs and bones!

This energy doesn't directly increase soul power, but rather...

Instead, it's tempering his martial spirit!

He was stuck at the bottleneck of his soul power at the peak of level 89. At this moment, that indestructible barrier actually showed a slight, almost imperceptible loosening!

Although it was only a tiny bit, it was no less than the collapse of the sky for him!

"this……"

"The power of the stars drawn by this staff actually has such an effect on my White Tiger Martial Soul!"

The Star Luo Emperor's voice trembled, his face filled with wild joy!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Great! Great!"

He suddenly stood up, and his hearty laughter echoed throughout the palace.

"Mu Bai!"

The Star Luo Emperor's gaze towards Dai Mubai changed instantly.

The previous coldness and majesty vanished, replaced by a burning admiration.

"Not only are you without fault, but you have actually done great good!"

"From this day forward, this item shall be a sacred relic of the Dai family!"

Davis's smile froze.

He looked at his father in disbelief, then at the unassuming Starfall Staff.

How is that possible?

That guy is clearly a piece of trash!

He was unwilling to give up and took a step forward.

"Father! Even if this item is useful, the fact that he lost Zhu Zhuqing has strained relations between our royal family and the Zhu family... This matter..."

Upon hearing this, the Star Luo Emperor's smile vanished.

He then snorted coldly, interrupting Davis.

“Davis, you only know one side of the story, not the other.”

"Do you think that the marriage alliance between my Dai family and the Zhu family is merely for the sake of so-called generations of friendship, or for the Netherworld White Tiger's martial soul fusion technique?"

Davis was taken aback.

Isn't that so?

Emperor Xingluo slowly shook his head.

"Do you know how many generations my Star Luo royal family has failed to produce a true Title Douluo?"

"A full eight generations!"

"If it weren't for this, how could the mere Zhu family dare to act in such a way towards my royal family? And why would my royal family need to talk about a stable marriage alliance?"

"In this world, strength ultimately reigns supreme!"

"If my Dai family could produce a Title Douluo, it would be enough to suppress all villains. Why would we need to be subservient to others?"

Upon hearing this, Davis's face turned pale instantly.

At that moment, Dai Mubai suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He immediately kowtowed to the ground, his voice earnest.

"Father, you are wise!"

"Your Majesty, I was in Soto City this time because I had a premonition that this Starfall Staff would be of great use to you. That's why I spared no expense, even falling out with Zhu Zhuqing, to buy it back!"

"What I wish for is to help Father Emperor break through the bottleneck that has troubled you for so many years and become a Title Douluo!"
