One-Shotting Xu Sanshi, Level 24, White Tiger Vajra Transformation Trial Card? Reward: Heart Separation Control

A heavy, mountain-like pressure instantly swept across the entire arena.

"Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield!

Xu Sanshi actually got serious right from the start!"

Someone below the arena cried out in alarm.

Xu Sanshi slammed his shield onto the ground and glared viciously at Dai Yu:

"My Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield possesses both water and earth attributes, and its defense is invincible among those of the same rank!

Even a Soul Ancestor of the Attack Type might not be able to break through my defenses!

And you think you can do it just because you're a newly enrolled brat?

Get down!"

Facing Xu Sanshi's taunts, Dai Yu merely sighed softly.

"You talk too much."

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.

"Roar—!!!"

A deafening tiger roar suddenly exploded, as if it were a killing cry from ancient times. Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.

Immediately afterward, a White Tiger Phantom appeared behind him. Its entire body was snow-white, radiating a chilling, cold light.

But this White Tiger was different from ordinary white tigers.

Its eyes were pure gold and silver, and what coiled around its body wasn't a Soul Power halo,

but rather something that seemed capable of tearing space apart—

Geng Metal Qi of Extreme Gold!

His sole Yellow Soul Ring rose. Although it was merely his First Soul Ring, the brilliance it emitted was actually no weaker than Xu Sanshi's Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

"What... what kind of Martial Soul is that?!"

On the spectator stand, Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes widened as she stared fixedly at the White Tiger filled with killing intent.

"Xu Sanshi, you know nothing about power."

Dai Yu moved.

There were no flashy Soul Skills or complicated tactics.

He merely tapped the ground with his toes, and his entire body instantly transformed into a streak of platinum light, shooting straight toward Xu Sanshi!

"Looking for death!"

Seeing that Dai Yu actually dared to confront him head-on, Xu Sanshi sneered inwardly.

First Soul Skill: Xuanming Shock!

A black halo erupted from the shield, attempting to send Dai Yu flying.

However, the next second, Xu Sanshi's expression froze.

Dai Yu's figure did not pause in the slightest.

His fist, wrapped in Platinum Light, was like a red-hot blade slicing into butter.

At that moment, the "indestructible" property of Extreme Gold was unleashed to its fullest!

"Crack—"

A crisp shattering sound rang out, especially jarring in the silent Fighting Arena.

The Xuanming shockwave, reputed to be invincible among those of the same rank and difficult even for Soul Ancestors to break through,

actually shattered like thin paper before Dai Yu's fist!

"This is impossible!!"

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened in terror.

But he had no time to react. Dai Yu's fist had already smashed into the body of his Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield with overwhelming force!

"Break... for me!"

Dai Yu gave a low shout as Soul Power surged wildly through his body.

Extreme Gold—designed to break through all defenses under heaven!

"Bang—!!!"

Accompanied by a deafening boom, Xu Sanshi was sent flying with his shield!

He drew an awkward arc through the air before crashing heavily into the guardrail at the edge of the arena.

He vomited a mouthful of blood, and the light on the tortoiseshell shield in his hand dimmed. A fine crack even appeared across it.

The entire arena fell deathly silent.

Everyone stared at the scene with their mouths agape, unable to believe what they were seeing.

One punch!

Just one punch!

Xu Sanshi, a Soul Elder, had been defensively broken head-on by a freshman?!

Dai Yu slowly withdrew his fist as the Platinum Light around his body gradually faded.

He did not even spare Xu Sanshi, who was lying on the ground, a glance. Instead, he walked straight to the referee and extended his hand:

"Referee, announce the result."

Only then did the referee snap out of his daze. He swallowed and shakily raised his hand:

"W-winner... the freshman, Dai Yu!"

[System Notification! Important plot character "Xu Sanshi" has fallen into extreme collapse and self-doubt.]

[Important plot character "Jiang Nannan" has experienced intense shock and a change in opinion.]

[Important plot characters "Bei Bei" and "Tang Ya" have taken a high degree of interest.]

[Congratulations, Host, on completing the "Overwhelming Victory Across a Rank" achievement! Rewards:]

[1. Soul Power increased by one level (currently Level 24)]

[2. Skill Card: White Tiger Vajra Transformation (one-time trial version, ignores level restrictions)]

[3. Spirit Attribute Soul Bone Shard ×1 (collect three to synthesize a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Head Bone)]

Listening to the system's announcement in his mind, the corners of Dai Yu's mouth lifted slightly.

Although the second and third rewards were somewhat useless,

they were still better than nothing.

He had beaten Xu Sanshi, taken the wager, and even received rewards. What a satisfying haul!

What a bumper harvest.

Dai Yu walked over to Xu Sanshi, who was still questioning his life, crouched down, and extended his hand:

"Senior Xu, a bet is a bet.

Hand it over."

Xu Sanshi's face was pale, his eyes vacant.

He could not understand how his absolute defense had turned out to be as flimsy as paper.

But he was ultimately from a great clan. Although he had lost face, he still wasn't shameless enough to welch on the bet.

With a trembling hand, he threw the jade bottle containing the Mysterious Water Pills to Dai Yu and ground his teeth:

"Dai Yu... I'll remember you!

I'll get revenge for today's humiliation sooner or later!"

"Anytime."

Dai Yu caught the jade bottle, tossed it lightly in his hand, then turned and left with a carefree stride.

When he passed the dumbfounded Jiang Nannan, he paused and chuckled:

"Senior Sister Jiang, you should understand now.

Some people's 'strength' is nothing but empty boasting.

But other people's 'strength' is something they fight for."

With that, Dai Yu led Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were already so excited they could hardly contain themselves, out of the Fighting Arena beneath the awe-filled gazes of everyone present.

Back in the dormitory.

Huo Yuhao was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened:

"Yu Ge! You were way too amazing!

That was a Soul Elder!

You sent him flying with one punch!

That was so cool!"

Wang Dong did not say anything, but his gaze toward Dai Yu had also changed somewhat.

This damned lecher... seemed to really have something going for him.

Dai Yu, however, was feeling somewhat surprised.

The system had actually taken the initiative to remind him.

Giving the Mysterious Water Pills to the two of them had a high chance of triggering a reward?

Then what was there to discuss? He might as well give them to them!

Dai Yu ignored their adoration and directly tossed the jade bottle to Huo Yuhao.

"Hold this."

Huo Yuyao caught it in a fluster, his face blank with confusion:

"Yu Ge, this... what is it?"

"Mysterious Water Pill."

Dai Yu said indifferently:

"This thing is no longer very effective for me. The two I just won, plus the one I had before, make three in total.

This one is for you.

Your physique is too weak. This can cleanse your meridians and marrow and increase your Innate Soul Power.

After taking it, your cultivation speed will at least double."

"F-for me?!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, and even his voice trembled.

He knew the value of the Mysterious Water Pill, of course. It was a treasure that money couldn't even buy!

And Yu Ge had just casually given one to him?

"Yu Ge, this is too valuable. I can't..."

"Enough nonsense."

Dai Yu interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument:

"Since you call me brother, then listen to me.

How can someone under me, Dai Yu, be a weakling?

Go back and take it while cultivating. Don't embarrass me."

In truth, Dai Yu's little scheme was already snapping into place.

Huo Yuhao was the Son of the Plane and would become a God King in the future.

An investment of one Mysterious Water Pill now would yield immeasurable returns in the future.

And besides...

[System Notification! Important plot character "Huo Yuhao" has developed an emotion of absolute gratitude and devotion.]

[Congratulations, Host, you have received a suppression (nurturing) reward:

Luck Value +100, Spiritual Power Cultivation Method Heart Separation Control (Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Secret Improved Version)!]
