Xu Sanshi, I Am the Victor

Facing Wang Dong's thousand-year soul skill, Xu Sanshi did not panic. He let out a deep shout, and those small tortoise shell shields seemed to become several degrees more solid.

At the same time, Xu Sanshi's entire body tensed with muscles, brimming with strength like a block of iron.

Soul Masters did not die to iron blocks. When one's defense was strong enough, Xu Sanshi was confident he could withstand any kind of attack.

However, Wang Dong had not unleashed her thousand-year soul skill as a killing move.

With the support of Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing, the weak points in Xu Sanshi's defenses were naturally laid bare.

Yet finding a weak point did not mean one could break through it. That still required immensely powerful attack strength.

Was Wang Dong's attack powerful enough? After releasing her second soul skill, Wang Dong immediately gave the answer.

Her first yellow Soul Ring lit up. The edges of the Light Goddess Butterfly's wings instantly became incomparably sharp, their golden rims making their exposed edge all the more striking.

First soul skill, Wing Blade Guillotine.

By the current classical classification of Soul Masters, Wang Dong possessed traits of both the Assault System and the Agility Attack System.

This meant that while she possessed extreme speed, her attack power was also exceptionally formidable.

Meanwhile, Xu Sanshi was still resisting the Light of the Butterfly God Wang Dong had released earlier. The clusters of dazzling light made it impossible for him to see Wang Dong's movements clearly.

Whoosh—

Though she was only a Two-Ring Soul Grand Master, Wang Dong was incredibly fast. With a flicker of her body, she arrived above and to the side of Xu Sanshi, the sharp golden edge of her wings slashing down fiercely.

Although the glare prevented him from seeing clearly, Xu Sanshi could still use his ears and bodily senses to judge his surroundings.

The sharpness of Wang Dong's attack had long since made his body tense. Holding a small shield in his right hand, Xu Sanshi abruptly spun around, and the shield collided violently with Wang Dong's Wing Blade Guillotine.

Boom—

A wave of air instantly swept across the arena. The other small shields around Xu Sanshi that had been blocking the Light of the Butterfly God shattered one after another, while Wang Dong was sent flying backward. It took her quite some time to steady herself in midair.

Though she had suffered a small loss in the first exchange, Wang Dong's eyes lit up.

Xu Sanshi already thought highly of them, but he could never have imagined just how powerful Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection was.

With Huo Yuhao's assistance, every one of Wang Dong's soul skills could strike precisely, with no reservation and not the slightest bit of waste.

Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, could only rely on his own reactions to resist passively.

They could win simply by wearing him down, let alone with Wang Dong's unmatched attack power among those at her level.

Whoosh—

Wang Dong flew upward again, diving toward Xu Sanshi with her wings gleaming with icy light.

"Hah—!"

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened. He thrust both hands forward, and the first yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring among his three Soul Rings lit up. All the tortoise shell shields gathered together, reforming into a massive Darkwater Tortoise Shell Shield.

"First soul skill, Darkwater Tremor!"

Layer after layer of incomparably dense black light instantly spread from the massive Darkwater Tortoise Shell Shield, covering the area around him.

From the outside, Xu Sanshi seemed to have a massive black barrier spreading from his body into the surrounding space.

As the black barrier advanced, rumbling booms rang out in unison.

This was one of Xu Sanshi's area-of-effect skills. Not only could it knock back opponents and their attacks, but it also carried a certain stunning effect.

If the enemy's cultivation was lower than Xu Sanshi's, then while being knocked back by Darkwater Tremor, they would also be stunned.

Xu Sanshi was, after all, a Soul Elder. Although Wang Dong could also be regarded as an Assault-type Soul Master, she had no buff-type skills that could strengthen her physique. All she could rely on was her own sharpness.

But under Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection, Xu Sanshi did not surpass Huo Yuhao by much. He had no secrets at all.

Wang Dong abruptly changed directions, skimming past the very edge of Darkwater Tremor's maximum range. With a sweep of her wings, she slashed at Xu Sanshi's weak point.

"Pfft—" Xu Sanshi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Although Wang Dong's slash had not completely broken through his defenses, the force contained within it had already inflicted internal injuries on Xu Sanshi.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao finally moved.

With strange footwork beneath his feet, he rapidly approached Xu Sanshi.

Among the crowd seated in the stands, a young girl suddenly rose to her feet. "Isn't that our Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?"

The blue-haired boy beside her stared solemnly at Huo Yuhao on the arena and slowly nodded.

"It really does resemble our Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. But how does he know Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?"

The young man and woman were none other than Tang Ya and Beibei, who had left earlier.

They had come here because they had heard that Xu Sanshi was going to battle two new students.

As Xu Sanshi's close friend, Beibei naturally had to come see what was going on.

But after arriving, they discovered that the two new students fighting Xu Sanshi were none other than Huo Yuhao and the others, who had previously dismissed the Tang Sect as worthless.

Now that they saw Huo Yuhao using footwork similar to Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, countless doubts filled their hearts. But Huo Yuhao was still fighting, so it was not appropriate for them to step in and question him now.

On the other side, atop the arena, Huo Yuhao's sudden move also drew the attention of the other spectators.

When Huo Yuhao appeared with that gleaming white Soul Ring, it inevitably sparked another round of discussion.

Though Xu Sanshi had boasted loudly before Huo Yuhao earlier, he now raised his guard slightly.

Huo Yuhao swiftly closed in on Xu Sanshi. Then his entire arm turned crystalline, as if coated in frost.

He lightly circled to Xu Sanshi's side and sent one palm toward him.

Xu Sanshi had intended to stop Huo Yuhao, but in that instant, it felt as though his brain had been pricked by a needle, and his consciousness became hazy.

Ssh—

The bone-piercing cold snapped Xu Sanshi back to his senses, but it was already useless.

The extreme cold emerging from Huo Yuhao's palm made him shudder violently.

And at that moment, Wang Dong's next wave of attacks arrived as well.

"Xu Sanshi, I am the victor." Huo Yuhao grinned, revealing a somewhat cruel smile.

For some reason, Xu Sanshi suddenly felt a chill rise from the depths of his heart.

Huo Yuhao looked at him as though he were an insect. He should have felt enraged, yet at this moment, he could not summon any anger at all.

Xiao Xiao sat in the stands, looking at the obvious difference in size between Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi. Yet Huo Yuhao's effortless move to subdue his opponent was deeply etched into her heart.

As people who had both received Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing and seen him fight, she and Wang Dong understood Huo Yuhao's terrifying nature best.
