Battle

Wang Dong'er picked up a stone and hurled it fiercely at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao caught it.

A solid body—he hadn't teleported!

Wang Dong'er immediately realized this was her chance. Stones blanketed the area where Huo Yuhao stood like a torrential downpour. Even if he turned invisible and teleported, he would inevitably be struck by one, allowing her to pinpoint his location.

Faced with the stones filling the sky, Huo Yuhao still did not move. He merely knocked aside each stone that was about to hit him.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Dong'er swooped toward him. She was somewhat surprised to see that Huo Yuhao had not fled. Still, that suited her perfectly.

Wang Dong'er closed in and lashed out with a whip kick aimed viciously at Huo Yuhao.

A faint golden light gleamed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Every movement Wang Dong'er made was within his Mental Detection, especially those long legs of hers.

Just as the whip kick was about to strike him, Huo Yuhao moved. With a casual step to the right, he evaded Wang Dong'er's powerful blow. At the same time, his left hand chopped toward her ankle, and he did not forget to tease her, "Next time you wear a skirt, I'll have to remind you to put on safety shorts. You can't let anyone else see."

Wang Dong'er's face flushed red. Her right foot, which had stepped forward, instantly pulled back to evade Huo Yuhao's attack. At the same time, she rapidly retreated, intending to widen the distance and use her Martial Soul against this shameless bastard. Sure enough, she should not have considered showing this rotten guy mercy earlier.

Huo Yuhao gave her no chance to pull away and pressed forward, tangling with her at close range. His right fist was the first to shoot toward Wang Dong'er's face.

Wang Dong'er tilted her head aside to dodge, her left arm striking Huo Yuhao's right arm while her right hand slapped toward his chest. Huo Yuhao raised his left hand to block, intending to meet Wang Dong'er's palm.

Wang Dong'er could only withdraw her right hand and use her elbow to block Huo Yuhao's attack.

Caught in close-quarters combat, Wang Dong'er only felt more and more stifled. She could not have physical contact with Huo Yuhao, or else her whole body would go limp in an instant, leaving her unable to continue fighting. Yet that guy had no such concern and attacked without restraint. Sometimes, he even deliberately tried to touch exposed skin to make her collapse weakly, forcing her to withdraw her attacks and evade.

Wang Dong'er could not endure it any longer. The Light Goddess Butterfly possessed her once more, and her first Soul Ring lit up—Wing Guillotine! This time, the blades of light did not attach themselves to her butterfly wings. Instead, together with the pair of butterfly wings, they overlapped with Wang Dong'er's arms, forming two guillotines that moved as freely as her limbs.

Wang Dong'er slashed her left arm at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao leaned back to evade, then kicked upward with his right foot, driving it toward Wang Dong'er's abdomen. Wang Dong'er brought down the Wing Guillotine on her right arm, blocking Huo Yuhao's attack. Taking advantage of the momentum, Huo Yuhao pushed off hard and opened the distance between them.

Wang Dong'er hurried after him, only for Huo Yuhao to split into three figures once again and retreat in different directions. Wang Dong'er repeated the same tactic, firing three stones toward the three figures.

Before Wang Dong'er's eyes, the stones passed through two Huo Yuhao phantoms, while one figure reached out and caught a stone. Wang Dong'er immediately determined which one was the real body.

What she did not see was that the instant the stone touched "Huo Yuhao's" palm, it quietly turned invisible. An identical stone replaced it and was caught by "Huo Yuhao."

Wang Dong attacked "Huo Yuhao" with stones to confirm his position while rapidly giving chase. Soon, she caught up to "Huo Yuhao," and her Wing Guillotine slashed toward him. Yet "Huo Yuhao" neither dodged nor defended, instead deliberately crashing into the blade.

The blade passed through his body, blood spraying everywhere.

Wang Dong'er froze, with no time to wonder why the blade had felt no resistance from cutting through anything.

Her mind instantly went blank.

At that moment, someone slapped her butt, and Huo Yuhao's voice came from behind her. "Looks like I won again! Ah, forget it. I don't want to win so quickly, so I'll take a little advantage instead."

Wang Dong'er watched as the "Huo Yuhao" before her eyes dispersed in an instant. At that moment, how could she not realize that she had been fooled again?

In that instant, Wang Dong'er's emotions became a tangled mess—overwhelming sorrow, overwhelming joy, embarrassment, anger...

She turned to look at the "Huo Yuhao" who had already retreated far away and wanted to admit defeat. She was someone who could accept a loss; her pride would never allow her to lose and then deny it.

Yet before she could speak, she heard "Huo Yuhao" say in a sleazy tone, "You'd better think carefully before admitting defeat. After all, if you lose, you'll owe me one condition. I've already come up with a good idea: if you lose, you'll become my future wife's bedchamber maid. When we're having fun, you'll be responsible for pushing her butt. What do you think? Doesn't that give you a real sense of participation?"

Wang Dong'er felt rage surge within her. Why was this guy so disgusting?! Admit defeat? What defeat? I'm going to beat him to death!

In an instant, fury overwhelmed her embarrassment, joy, and every other emotion, continuing to rise without end.

She felt as though she had never been this angry before. This bastard had played tricks on her and humiliated her the moment they met. Today, he had humiliated her in public again, and he was always finding new ways to bully her... Every grievance she had suffered surged up from the depths of her heart, robbing her of reason. In that instant, the thousand-year Soul Ring on Wang Dong's body lit up.

Butterfly God Light!

One dazzling orb of light-element energy after another bombarded "Huo Yuhao," blasting that part of the arena into ruins. The dense light element also made it impossible to see what was happening there.

Huo Yuhao's true body stood beside Wang Dong'er. Looking at that area, he could not help clicking his tongue.

As expected of the Original Work's female lead. Even her soul skills are more powerful than most people's.

Huo Yuhao continued using Soul Interference to guide Wang Dong'er's emotions, letting her anger pour out completely.

You had to give the girl a chance to vent her grievances. You couldn't suppress her too much; you had to pull and push, knowing when to tighten and when to loosen.

When Wang Dong'er had vented enough, Huo Yuhao began slowly soothing her emotions again.

Huo Yuhao stood quietly beside Wang Dong'er. He was not invisible, yet she seemed completely unable to see him.

"It seemed that amid her wild emotional swings, Dong'er had become completely immersed in the illusion. Every action she took now was a response based on my Simulation. Had the information she sensed in reality been subconsciously ignored?" Huo Yuhao mused, lightly supporting his chin.

Huo Yuhao now roughly understood the actual effects of his illusion.

When the illusion was first imposed, the target still perceived information from reality. As Huo Yuhao interfered, their perception of reality would gradually be ignored, while information within the illusion would slowly replace it, until they became completely immersed in the illusion.

"Since the experiment is complete, it's time to end this." Huo Yuhao nodded. His true body walked to the place Wang Dong'er had just bombarded and lay down.

In Wang Dong'er's eyes, Huo Yuhao's entire body was battered and torn, covered in burns from the light element. He lay on the ground barely breathing, as though his life force were about to fade away.

Whether Wang Dong'er's anger and grievances had been vented or soothed by Huo Yuhao, all that remained in her heart was regret, fear, worry, and anxiety...

With tears shimmering in her eyes, Wang Dong'er threw herself down beside Huo Yuhao. "You... you can't die. Why didn't you dodge? Why didn't you use Soul Power to block it? Why didn't you use that Simulation of yours?"

"Hold on. I'll go find a Medical Soul Master right away. This is Shrek City; there must be a Healing System Titled Douluo here!" Wang Dong said anxiously. In a fluster, she picked up Huo Yuhao and flew toward Shrek Academy.
