"Want me to take the offensive?"

Huo Yuhao smiled in relief.

Ever since enrolling at Shrek, he had been invincible among his peers, steamrolling his way through every battle. It had been far too long since he had fought with his full strength.

Whether against Wang Dong or Wu Feng, he had always held back, afraid that one careless move would seriously injure them.

Keeping his desire to fight bottled up inside was not good.

And right before him was such a suitable punching bag.

It truly made his hands itch!

As for using his full strength—Xu Sanshi, dream on. Go wash up and get to bed.

Huo Yuhao could now use two martial souls at once whenever he wished.

After his Spirit Eye had fully evolved, he could feel that his command over the Time-Space Attribute had greatly improved.

Therefore, after using his innate skill, "Instant," his control became even stronger. He could completely catch his opponent off guard and strike by surprise.

It was admittedly making a mountain out of a molehill.

But during the earlier grilled fish conflict, Huo Yuhao had used "Instant" to return Xu Sanshi's Gold Soul Coins.

Coupled with the Innate Domain that came with the Ice Soul Body.

If he truly fought at full strength, even if Xu Sanshi erupted for love, fully awakened his divine beast bloodline, and evolved the Mysterious Turtle Shell Shield into the Black Tortoise Shield, it would still be useless.

Invincibility truly was as lonely as snow.

"Watch out!"

After offering that kind reminder.

Huo Yuhao's figure vanished in an instant as he charged toward Xu Sanshi.

Every now and then, he ought to try using his fists and feet too.

The simulated Purple Soul Ring lit up symbolically, while his forearms seemed to become coated in a dazzling layer of icy crystal film.

First Soul Skill, Ice Empress's Claws.

Because of Huo Yuhao's own limits of endurance, this four-hundred-thousand-year first soul ring could only unleash the power of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.

At this moment, his strength surged once more, reaching an utterly terrifying level!

Xu Sanshi did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

During their earlier conflict, he had already realized how powerful this junior's physical body was. Now, his opponent had even used a soul skill!

He did not dare hold anything back now.

His first hundred-year yellow soul ring lit up, and the black radiance on Xu Sanshi's turtle shell shield immediately intensified twofold. A powerful black halo instantly spread out from the shield.

The black light covered an area of more than ten square meters, pushing outward like an enormous air barrier. As it spread, it also released a deep, rumbling roar.

First Soul Skill, Mysterious Black Tremor.

This was an area-of-effect knockback skill with a certain stunning effect.

If an enemy's cultivation was weaker than his, they would be stunned while being knocked back. At the very least, they would be repelled and forced to open up distance.

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth curled up. He neither dodged nor evaded, instead charging straight ahead and tearing a gap through the black barrier as though ripping apart rotten wood.

It was merely a hundred-year soul skill. Before absolute strength, it was utterly useless!

Xu Sanshi stared at him in shock, unable to conceal the astonishment in his heart.

His ever-reliable Mysterious Black Tremor had been broken so easily?

What kind of soul skill was this? How could it be so powerful?!

Was this guy cheating?

There was no time to mourn the failure of Mysterious Black Tremor. Xu Sanshi hurriedly used his Second Soul Skill, Mysterious Black Shield Formation!

"Ah!"

With a muffled roar, the Mysterious Turtle Shell Shield instantly split into multiple shields, layering together in overlapping defense.

Boom—

A punch empowered by Ice Empress's Claws slammed head-on into the layered Black Tortoise Shell Shields, erupting with a thunderous bang.

It was clearly the simplest of movements, yet when Huo Yuhao used it, it carried the weight of a thousand jun.

Xu Sanshi himself, along with the Mysterious Turtle Shell Shield, was pushed back nearly ten meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

One punch sent him flying back!

Without giving his opponent time to react, Huo Yuhao followed up with another barrage of attacks, as fierce as wind and rain.

Punch after punch flew out. Xu Sanshi was like a ragged punching bag, repeatedly being sent flying before struggling back to his feet.

Like a small boat on the verge of capsizing in a storm, Xu Sanshi held on bitterly. He could only take the beating, utterly incapable of fighting back.

Huo Yuhao vented his fighting spirit, feeling nothing but relaxed and exhilarated.

Of course, to keep from beating his opponent to death outright, these were merely the simplest ordinary basic attacks.

This was not torture, merely a small lesson for his opponent.

In the stands, Wang Yan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

After confirming that he had not seen wrong, he could not help but suck in a cold breath.

What was this?

This aura of the Ice Attribute.

It definitely was not the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul he had sensed that afternoon!

The two had nothing to do with each other.

Could it be that Huo Yuhao possessed Twin Martial Souls!?

At the thought of this possibility, his entire body trembled with excitement.

A Body Martial Soul paired with Twin Martial Souls, along with such an outstanding Spirit Ring configuration—he was simply a genius among geniuses!

Sure enough, his decision to report this to Xuan Zi that afternoon had been absolutely correct.

Such a prodigy absolutely could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Body Sect.

On the other side, Tang Ya's mouth hung open in shock.

"This is the spiritual-type martial soul Yuhao mentioned, the Spirit Eyes?"

Watching Xu Sanshi get pummeled without the slightest ability to resist, Beibei was also greatly startled. He said uncertainly, "Probably... not?"

What kind of spiritual-type martial soul was this?

As Xu Sanshi's friend, no one knew better than him just how formidable Xu Sanshi's defense was.

Especially after he had unleashed Mysterious Black Power, even a Soul Elder could not break through his defenses, let alone anyone else.

No one understood the might of the Outer Court's number one defensive martial soul better than he did!

And there were Xu Sanshi's first two Soul Skills, enhanced by Mysterious Black Power.

Even Beibei himself would have found it extremely difficult to break through his defenses.

One had to know that he possessed the Outer Court's strongest offensive martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

This was too outrageous!

Wang Dong stood there dumbfounded, filled with regret as she muttered, "I was so stupid, truly..."

If she had known, she would have bet more on Huo Yuhao winning.

She had still not trusted her roommate enough!

Given how steady Huo Yuhao had always been, how could he possibly have challenged Xu Sanshi to a soul fight without any purpose?

He must have acted only because he was completely confident!

Seeing Xu Sanshi being beaten so brutally, the entire arena was horrified.

Especially those upperclassmen who had bet on Xu Sanshi's victory.

The lowerclassmen might not know how powerful the Outer Court Twin Stars were, but those upperclassmen had suffered at their hands for a long time. They understood perfectly well.

They had thought this was a good chance to make easy money, but who could have expected it?

Xu Sanshi, in whom everyone had placed such high hopes, was actually so utterly helpless?

"Are you worthy of our trust, Xu Sanshi?!"

"Fuck, refund our money!!"

As for the freshmen drawn in by the title of "Strongest Freshman,"

every one of them could not stop swallowing.

"Not only is he strong, he's also this handsome. Is he even going to let anyone else live?"

"I acknowledge him as the strongest!"

The girls who had been drawn over by Huo Yuhao's handsome appearance also had blazing eyes.

Their gazes made it seem as though they wanted to devour Huo Yuhao on the spot.

Shock, anger, and disbelief!

Xu Sanshi, who had been beaten into a panicked retreat, shouted in a broken voice.

Fury, shock, disbelief!

All sorts of expressions spread across his bruised and swollen face, making him look utterly ridiculous.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and asked calmly, "Hm? Senior Xu, do you still want to continue?"

As if remembering something, he added, "Oh right, Senior Xu, I heard you still have some ultimate move that awakens your martial soul bloodline? Come on, give it everything you've got. I believe in you!"

"I've behaved. Please spare me!"

Xu Sanshi immediately began begging for mercy.

So what if he evolved the Mysterious Turtle Shell Shield into the Black Tortoise Shield?

He couldn't win. He absolutely couldn't win!

They weren't enemies or anything. There was no need for this!

Not to mention that he couldn't awaken it whenever he wanted right now.

"Fine."

Huo Yuhao did not press the matter.

Xu Sanshi's martial soul was currently sealed away. Without a sufficiently powerful stimulus, even he himself could not break through that seal.

And that powerful stimulus was Jiang Nannan.

So how exactly was he supposed to complete this guy's Achievement Task, You Are Nannan and Also the Tribulation?

Surely he wasn't supposed to help him pursue Jiang Nannan?

That would be utterly ridiculous...
