Eye of Reincarnation

Tang San's eyes flickered with a faint purple glow as he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track beneath his feet and rapidly closed in on Xue Ke.

Xue Ke remained utterly fearless. Activating Golden Bell Shield, she crossed her hands over her chest, stood perfectly straight, and watched the rapidly approaching Tang San with a cold expression.

The tips of Tang San's bright purple Eight Spider Lances gleamed with tiny points of icy light. Amid a rapid series of "clang, clang, clang" sounds, the Eight Spider Lances attacked thirty-eight times in just three seconds.

So hard! Tang San inwardly exclaimed.

So fast! Xue Ke praised.

A trace of hostility flashed through Tang San's eyes. A golden glint flashed from his hidden right palm as he launched the Dragon Whisker Needle. With another crisp "clang," a crack appeared in the Golden Bell Shield before Xue Ke's lower abdomen. A golden needle as thin as a cow's hair was embedded in it, yet it could not penetrate any further.

"Hmph, trying to ambush me? No way!" After cultivating the Sunflower Scripture for years and absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Xue Ke's eyesight was no weaker than Tang San's when he used Purple Demon Eye. It was even somewhat stronger. The moment Tang San secretly launched his hidden weapon with his right hand, Xue Ke had already deduced its trajectory and instantly reinforced the section of Golden Bell Shield before her lower abdomen with Soul Power.

"How despicable! You actually aimed such a vicious hidden weapon as the Dragon Whisker Needle at my lower abdomen. Were you trying to hurt me to death?"

Enraged by Tang San's vile and brutal methods, Xue Ke revealed a cruel smile. Activating the Bone-Breaking Hand, her palms instantly hardened as she seemingly lightly slapped a palm toward Tang San's forehead.

Tang San activated Mysterious Jade Hand, turning his hands crystalline as jade, intending to block Xue Ke's palm.

Bang— A tremendous boom rang out across the Soul Fighting Arena. Tang San was blasted away by Xue Ke's palm, his entire body deeply embedded in the arena floor and smashing out a crater nearly three meters in radius.

"Ah—" Tang San howled in agony until his voice grew hoarse. He felt as though both his arms had split apart, with tearing pain spreading through them. The sleeves around both arms had been shredded, and his entire arms had turned slightly red.

"My hands—my hands—" Tang San's voice was hoarse with pain. Both arms had suffered comminuted fractures from Xue Ke's Bone-Breaking Hand.

Yu Xiaogang shot up from his seat, staring at Tang San with concern.

"Little San, you have to win! You're the key to my fame and rise to the top!"

Tang San circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, enduring the pain as his face twisted. He slowly propped himself up with the Eight Spider Lances, his hands hanging naturally at his sides while the hostility in his eyes intensified.

"First Soul Skill, Entangling!"

"Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint!"

Countless Blue Silver Grass vines surged forth, instantly wrapping Xue Ke, who was protected by Golden Bell Shield, into a huge ball.

Tang San controlled the Blue Silver Grass, intending to hurl the ball fiercely off the Soul Fighting Arena. But at that moment, the ball ignited on its own. Green flames rapidly spread, turning Tang San's Blue Silver Grass into ashes in the blink of an eye, and a small figure slowly emerged.

Xue Ke's pupils had changed from their original brown to white, with faint green light flickering within them.

Xue Ke stomped hard on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust. In an instant, she arrived before Tang San and once more brought a palm down toward his forehead.

Tang San instinctively activated Mysterious Jade Hand and blocked Xue Ke's attack again.

Bang— Another tremendous crash rang out as Tang San was slammed viciously into the ground once more. He felt both arms split apart again, and that familiar pain spread through his arms, making it nearly impossible for him to breathe.

Tang San used the Eight Spider Lances to stand up again and launched his Soul Skill at Xue Ke, wrapping her into a huge ball...

The same scene played out again. The Blue Silver Grass was once more burned away by green flames, followed by another bang. Tang San felt both his arms split apart again and again and again, repeating in an endless cycle.

At the Soul Fighting Arena.

"What is Little San doing? Why is he just standing there?" Yu Xiaogang stared anxiously at Tang San in the arena, rubbing his hands together.

Tang San stood on the Soul Fighting Arena supported by the Eight Spider Lances, his head hanging limply, his eyes tightly shut, and his face full of pain. He remained motionless for a long time.

Xue Ke's white pupils returned to brown. Wearing a wicked smile, she slowly walked behind Tang San. A vicious gleam flashed through her eyes as she activated the Bone-Breaking Hand, grabbed one bright purple spider leg, and yanked hard.

Pfft— Blood spurted from Tang San's back.

Pfft, pfft, pfft... A series of sounds rang out as Xue Ke pulled the Eight Spider Lances out of Tang San's back one by one, then crushed them one by one beneath her feet. Tang San's entire body was stained red with blood.

"Stop! Stop right now! The Shrek Team surrenders!" Yu Xiaogang screamed himself hoarse.

The referee immediately came to his senses and loudly announced, "I declare the winner of this match to be the Imperial Fighting Team!"

The spectator stands immediately erupted in thunderous cheers. Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the other Six Freaks of Shrek hurried onto the arena stage and carefully carried away the blood-soaked, unconscious Tang San.

Xue Ke casually wiped her hands with a handkerchief and skipped happily off the Soul Fighting Arena.

Everyone on the Imperial Fighting Team looked at Xue Ke as if she were a demon, feeling chills run down their backs.

Before long, Qin Ming arrived with a grim-faced Yu Xiaogang, asking Xue Ke to detoxify Ning Rongrong and Oscar, and asking Ye Lingling to treat Tang San's injuries. Xue Ke did not want to cause any deaths, so she readily agreed.

Xue Ke and Ye Lingling followed Qin Ming and Yu Xiaogang to the Shrek Seven Devils Team's lounge. The moment they entered, they felt Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's hostile gazes. When Ma Hongjun saw Xue Ke, his lecherous eyes rolled as he looked her up and down, seemingly fantasizing about something.

Xue Ke felt irritated by Ma Hongjun's ill-intentioned gaze. She glared fiercely at him and waved a small fist through the air at that Fat Bastard. Only then did Ma Hongjun awkwardly withdraw his gaze.

A surge of green light entered Ning Rongrong and Oscar's bodies. The purple color on their faces gradually faded, and they slowly regained consciousness. Meanwhile, the pink Begonia Flower in Ye Lingling's hand shot out petal-shaped rays of white light that entered Tang San's body.

Glancing at Tang San, who still lay on the bed like a dead dog with his face twisted in pain, Xue Ke's lips curled up slightly in secret satisfaction.

Xue Ke looked at Tang San lying motionless on the bed. Her eyes turned white again before quickly returning to normal. After that, Tang San's expression was no longer pained, though he remained unconscious.

I beat Tang San into this state. His father won't come looking for trouble with me, will he? Xue Ke suddenly felt a little afraid.

After returning to the Imperial Fighting Team's lounge, Xue Ke went back to the hotel with everyone else.

After happily taking a hot bath, Xue Ke lay sprawled across the bed, reliving the day's battle.

After fully absorbing the three immortal herbs, Xue Ke's internal cultivation of the Sunflower Scripture successfully broke through to the third realm, unlocking a new external technique: Child of Reincarnation.

By activating Child of Reincarnation, she could gain the ability to perceive all things, burn whatever fell within her gaze, and cast illusions upon enemies, trapping them in a reincarnation illusion. Unless Xue Ke voluntarily dispelled the illusion, her enemies would never awaken.

On the Soul Fighting Arena, Xue Ke had used Child of Reincarnation to burn away Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. She then cast an illusion on Tang San, making him experience countless instances of both arms being smashed into comminuted fractures in an instant.

"Who told you to use that vicious hidden weapon against me? You deserved it!" Xue Ke spat lightly in displeasure.

Dugu Bo still owed Xue Xing a favor, and he was also an imperial retainer. As his granddaughter, Dugu Yan would naturally still side with Dugu Bo. Therefore, I decided not to leave the Eight Spider Lances for Dugu Yan after all. There would be a risk of aiding the enemy.

As for Child of Reincarnation, it was based on Izanami and Amaterasu. Readers who understand will naturally know what I mean.
