Asura Purgatory—Forced to Use Control Soul Skills Because He Didn't Want to Accidentally Kill Anyone

Hu Liena shyly clasped her hands in front of herself, her head lowered and cheeks flushed red. Her fair, slender legs were pressed tightly together.

This was the first time Xie Yue and Yan had seen Hu Liena like this. Though she usually did not act aloof, and her martial soul even possessed charming abilities, she had always kept her distance from men. Perhaps it was because of Bibi Dong's influence.

But the girl before them, still shy after having just kissed a boy—if she was not Hu Liena, then who was she?!

Even Xie Yue rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that was his own younger sister.

Yan trembled all over, as though he had instantly lost something precious. Gu Yuena, standing beside Chi Xiu, felt the same way. Sourness filled the air, with Yan and Gu Yuena each claiming half the sky.

"Yan! Yan! Don't be impulsive!"

Xie Yue tried to grab Yan but failed to stop him. The red-haired youth moved like the wind beneath his feet and charged before Chi Xiu in a single stride.

"Nana, what were you doing just now? Who is he?!"

Yan glared at Chi Xiu in fury, flames already gathering in his palm.

Chi Xiu turned to look at this famous simp from Douluo Continent and immediately felt helpless. He had already beaten Yan once and had no desire to beat him a second time.

"What does who he is have to do with you? I'm warning you, don't do anything stupid."

Hu Liena did not give Yan a pleasant look at all.

"You brat, do you have—"

"Do I have the guts to fight you? Is that what you were going to say?"

Chi Xiu directly stole Yan's line.

Yan froze for a moment, but his anger did not lessen in the slightest. Instead, Chi Xiu's calm demeanor made him even angrier. This boy was handsome, but he did not seem very old. Yan had absolute confidence in himself.

Besides, how many monsters could there be on the entire continent?

Purple Star Sect had produced one, which could be considered an exceptionally rare extreme case. Surely the guy before him could not be another one.

A fight... Chi Xiu thought about it. That would work too.

When Chi Xiu removed his mask, his martial soul was the Asura God Sword. When he wore the mask, his martial soul was the Dragon God. It would be good to leave a fixed impression on those who had seen him, making it less likely for his identity to be exposed.

Besides, he could use this chance to test the Asura God Sword's two soul skills. As for the killing move Chen Xin had taught him, there was no need to use it on this guy. If he did, Yan would almost certainly die. There was no need to kill a simp.

"Come on, then. Who's afraid of who? If I beat you, will you call me Grandpa?"

Chi Xiu spoke arrogantly, intending to thoroughly provoke Yan and make him unleash as much of his strength as possible, lest he fail to last even a second.

"Beat me first."

Yan gritted his teeth.

Chi Xiu could not help shaking his head. Then he walked toward Hu Liena and, under Gu Yuena's frantic gaze, wrapped an arm around Hu Liena's shoulders.

"You don't even dare make a bet. Are you even a man? No wonder Nana doesn't like you."

He actually called me Nana!

Hu Liena instantly blushed and covered her cheeks, her heart racing.

"Take your filthy hand off her!"

"Nana didn't refuse."

"You!"

"Fine, I'll bet with you! Whoever loses kneels and calls the other Grandpa!"

Chi Xiu smiled when he heard that. The veins on Yan's forehead were bulging. Hu Liena truly was his reverse scale.

The others cleared the area, leaving Chi Xiu and Yan standing in the middle.

"Yan, martial soul Flame Overlord, level twenty-two Power Attack System Great Soul Master!"

After Yan spoke, two yellow soul rings lit up beneath his feet. His entire body was gradually possessed by a monster covered in blazing flames.

Introducing myself... This was Chi Xiu's first time doing it. He glanced at the onlookers nearby before speaking.

"Gu Yue, martial soul Asura God Sword, level twenty-one Power Attack System Great Soul Master."

"Why aren't you showing your soul rings? Don't tell me they're two ten-year ones?"

Yan sneered.

Chi Xiu looked at him in confusion. "They're out. Oh, my martial soul is a little big. Take a step back. You're standing on the edge of my soul ring."

Yan looked down, and his whole body went rigid.

Two enormous, ink-black ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly rotated beneath him.

And these were... his first and second soul rings...

What was going on? Were there really so many monstrous soul masters on Douluo Continent now?

Or had talent become completely worthless?

Had he stumbled into a den of monsters?! He had encountered two of them in just a few days!

What kind of damned odds were those?!

Hu Liena was fine, since she had always known Chi Xiu was no ordinary boy. Xie Yue was just as shocked as Yan. The boy outside Purple Star Sect had also left a deep shadow in his heart.

"Yan, stop forcing yourself. You can't beat him!"

Hu Liena could not help trying to persuade him.

A man can't be told he can't do it... Chi Xiu secretly laughed. Hu Liena's indirect mockery would probably make this guy even stronger. That would make it more interesting.

"Impossible! I'm the strongest! Only I am worthy of you!"

Yan roared, his body transforming into flames as he charged toward Chi Xiu. The ground was scorched black beneath him.

He was much faster, but in Chi Xiu's eyes, he was still as slow as a turtle. Chi Xiu easily dodged Yan's flaming fist, then kicked him in the stomach.

Yan clutched his stomach and staggered back five meters. Enduring the pain, he shouted, "First Soul Skill! Hell Lava Rush!"

The yellow soul ring flashed, and scorching lava transformed into arrows that shot explosively toward Chi Xiu!

"Pfft~"

Chi Xiu could not even be bothered to dodge. The lava blast struck his chest like a drop of water falling onto solid rock. He patted the dust from his chest. "Can you put some strength into it? I was planning to use you to test my soul skills..."

Yan's expression changed drastically, and he even began to doubt himself. But Hu Liena was watching. He could not lose.

Soon, four streams of lava burst from the ground. Yan followed close behind, both fists covered in red volcanic rock. His enormous fists pounded Chi Xiu's body, but it was like striking a wall of bronze and iron. After a furious barrage of attacks, Yan was exhausted.

Chi Xiu's expression went blank. He had truly overestimated Yan.

What should he do? Should he use a soul skill on him? What if he accidentally killed him...

"Second Soul Skill, Asura Purgatory."

Chi Xiu raised his dark-red sword, and a cold aura instantly spread out.

The surroundings were suddenly shrouded in dark-red light. Yan looked up and felt as though even the sun had turned red. The wails of the dead rang out. Yan's eyes widened as he fell to his knees, covering his ears. His entire body became stiff, as if countless blood-red hands were controlling him. In his vision, dark-red swords had been stabbed into the ground around him, their hilts wrapped in thick iron chains.

The Second Soul Skill was a control skill. Those trapped by it could not move at all, while their minds suffered torment within purgatory. Those with weak wills might even become idiots.

Chi Xiu withdrew the skill at the right moment and put away his martial soul as well.

Because the outcome of the duel had already been decided.

Yan lay on the ground, curled up in pain.

Sure enough, simps never had a good ending.

Chi Xiu gave Yan a somewhat pitiful glance. "He'll recover after a while. There's no need for him to call me Grandpa."

"I'll be leaving first."

Hu Liena took a few small steps forward, wanting to stop him, but Chi Xiu's figure quickly disappeared.

Who knew when they would meet again...

"Now Master is mine."

Gu Yuena happily linked her arm through Chi Xiu's.

"You were all jealous before, and now you're smiling again."

"Hmph, I'm still angry. If you don't hold me while we sleep tonight, I'll bite you to death. Awoo!"

Gu Yuena opened her pink lips and bit Chi Xiu's arm, though she did not use any force.

Chi Xiu glanced at her. "You childish little thing. Hurry up and register already. What time is it? Who knows whether we'll end up locked outside..."

"Aren't you the academy's Crown Prince?"

"Keep a low profile..."

The two bickered and played as they headed toward Purple Star Academy. Chi Xiu found a corner and put his mask back on.

"What? When did he leave?! And he even got into a conflict with Yan?!"

Bibi Dong, who had just awakened, sat on her bed as she listened to Hu Liena's account.

She rubbed her forehead, filled with regret. How had she fallen asleep...

Seeing how angry Bibi Dong was, Hu Liena quickly pleaded for Chi Xiu. "Gu Yue didn't do it on purpose. At the time, we—"

"Hang that brat Yan outside Papal Hall for one night. Anyone who pleads for him will be punished as an accomplice."

"Baa?"

Hu Liena was dumbfounded. She had wanted to plead for Chi Xiu...

Bibi Dong continued, "Keep looking for that brat. Increase the search efforts. Damn it, he escaped again. I thought he wouldn't leave this time..."
