"You little brat! Are you trying to make your grandfather's line die out?!"
Ma Hongjun froze for a second.
"Two purple and one black! A ten-thousand-year soul ring?!" Ma Hongjun cried out.
"Your first soul ring was already a thousand-year soul ring!" Ma Hongjun had never heard of a Soul Master whose first soul ring was a thousand-year one.
According to the Grandmaster's theory, a first soul ring could not possibly be a thousand-year soul ring! Unless the soul beast willingly agreed to sacrifice itself.
But how was that possible?! Why would any soul beast willingly sacrifice itself?
And this person before him was around the same age as him, yet he already possessed a ten-thousand-year soul ring!
In the instant he was distracted, Ye Yuan's sword shot toward Ma Hongjun's crotch.
"Boss Dai, save me!"
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Intense Light Wave!" Dai Mubai immediately summoned his martial soul and unleashed his soul skill.
Ye Yuan smiled. "Too late!"
"AAAAH!"
The Soul Power in Ma Hongjun's body was thrown into disarray, and he plummeted heavily from the sky.
"AAAAH! Brat, I'll kill you!"
"Do you know whose student I am?! My teacher is Flender, one of the Golden Iron Triangle! Killing you would take nothing more than a flick of his finger!"
"Ah! Boss Dai, I can't be a man anymore!"
"Kill him! Kill him!!!"
Ye Yuan had severed the root of Ma Hongjun's manhood!
His talent could not compare to Dai Mubai's. Only in matters between men and women was he better than Dai Mubai, and that had been one of his greatest points of pride.
But now, his root was gone. Even his Demon Pill had been shattered by Ye Yuan's sword.
Ma Hongjun lay on the ground, suffering so intensely that he wished he were dead.
"You little brat, you're courting death!"
Ye Yuan slowly turned around. "Don't rush. You have a share coming too!"
Second Soul Skill, Demon Suppressor!
In an instant, Dai Mubai was surrounded by a blue sword formation and plunged into darkness.
Dai Mubai looked around in panic. When he turned toward Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan had already vanished.
"Stop hiding! If you've got the guts, come out!"
Suddenly, Dai Mubai felt a wave of killing intent strike him.
Logically speaking, with Ye Yuan's strength, he should not have been able to release such obvious killing intent. But the moment he thought of his younger sister, the killing intent throughout his body became impossible to contain.
Dai Mubai reacted quickly. "Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
A golden spherical wall of light appeared, enveloping Dai Mubai's entire body.
"I'd like to see what a wild Soul Master with no sect or school can do!?"
"Dai Mubai, do you remember a girl named Qin Yan'er?" Ye Yuan asked through gritted teeth.
Dai Mubai searched his memories again and again, but he simply could not recall any woman named Qin Yan'er.
After all, he had ruined plenty of women. Why would he deliberately remember any one woman's name?
"Hahaha!" Ye Yuan laughed until veins bulged across his forehead.
"Yan'er, Yan'er... I never expected this beast not even to know your name. After so long apart, I imagine he has harmed who knew how many girls like you."
"It's all right. Your brother will make him wish he were dead. I'll let him experience hell on earth."
"Only after he loses everything will your brother send him on his way. Wait just a little longer."
Ye Yuan intended to take everything from Dai Mubai and make living more unbearable for him than death!
Naturally, Dai Mubai did not believe Ye Yuan truly had no sect or school.
How could an ordinary person possibly possess such a soul ring configuration?
Just that ten-thousand-year soul ring alone—there was no way he had obtained it by killing a ten-thousand-year soul beast by himself, was there?
Ye Yuan's Sword Martial Soul fully revealed itself. It was a massive sword covered in cracks.
Yet every crack radiated an overwhelming pressure.
It was as though the sword had always been this way.
Looking at the fractured blade, a figure suddenly surfaced in Dai Mubai's mind: the Ye Yuan from the past.
"Impossible. How could that damn Ye Yuan, who did not even have parents, become this powerful!"
He cursed himself inwardly for being utterly foolish. How could he have connected the powerful man before him with the Ye Yuan whose martial soul had been crippled in the past?
"First Soul Skill, River Severing!" In an instant, countless flying swords surrounded Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai was afraid. This was the first time he had felt a death crisis of this magnitude.
"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Light Wave!"
The two powerful forces collided.
Just as Dai Mubai believed they were evenly matched, Ye Yuan's sword pierced straight through his palm.
"AAAH!!!"
"My hand!"
Ye Yuan's sword carried poison, but he had deliberately controlled the dosage. It only doubled Dai Mubai's pain without killing him.
"When you humiliated those innocent girls, did you ever think about how much pain they were in?"
"After you exterminated their families, did you ever think about how much pain they were in as they died?"
Dai Mubai glared furiously. "It was their greatest wish for those lowly commoners' women to catch my eye!"
"They were merely ordinary people. They deserved to be bullied by this prince!"
"So what if I humiliated their wives right in front of them?"
"What could they possibly do?"
"They were just lowly commoners. This prince is a lofty imperial prince!"
Dai Mubai's vision grew increasingly blurry, and nearly all his Soul Power had been exhausted.
He slowly rose to his feet and said to Ye Yuan, "Brother, I don't think the two of us have reached the point of fighting to the death."
"Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Women or money, this prince has both!"
"Any type you want is fine!"
Ye Yuan clutched his head and laughed. "You're still so afraid of death?"
Suddenly, an idea came to Ye Yuan. "Then what if I want your woman?"
Shock appeared on Dai Mubai's face. Just as Ye Yuan thought he would refuse—
Dai Mubai suddenly said excitedly, "Yes, brother, absolutely! I got tired of playing with Zhu Zhuqing long ago. I can give her to you whenever you want."
To Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing was indeed exceptional, and she was the first woman he had ever truly cared about.
But compared to his own life, she was nothing. The two were not even worth comparing.
"I thought you would refuse," Ye Yuan said slowly.
Dai Mubai immediately replied, "How could I? Brother, let's just consider this making a friend."
Ye Yuan withdrew the domain.
He did not want Dai Mubai to die so cheaply yet. Besides, he still needed to join Shrek Academy and seize Tang San's opportunities.
So he would spare his life for now.
"I don't want your woman anymore. Come to think of it, I'm also here to join Shrek."
Dai Mubai was stunned. He did not remember the dean mentioning any newcomers joining Shrek Academy.
Besides, the academy's enrollment period had already ended.
"Brat, I'll make you pay with your life for my little Ma!" The speaker was Ma Hongjun.
By now, his crotch was completely soaked in blood, which had pooled all over the ground.
His face was twisted with rage. To him, women had been one of the things that interested him most in this world.
But now, he no longer even had the root of his manhood.
Even if he became a top-tier Soul Master in the future, so what?
He could only lick people all over with his saliva!
With a single blast of Soul Power, Ye Yuan sent him flying and knocked him unconscious on the ground.
He slowly walked over to Ma Hongjun and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
He was considering whether to cut off Ma Hongjun's limbs as well.
Ye Yuan said to the unconscious Ma Hongjun, "It's all right. Your Boss Dai will keep you company."
"You won't have one in the future."
"But your Boss Dai will have one that he can't use." Ye Yuan was not the sort to play favorites. The reason he had not cut off Dai Mubai's wicked root—
Was because he had an even crueler method.
The strike he had sent toward Dai Mubai's throat earlier had only scraped his skin, but a trace of poison had still entered his body.
Ye Yuan continuously manipulated that trace of poison to destroy Dai Mubai from within, ensuring that he could only be a eunuch in the future—he would have it, but he would not be able to use it.
"Ye Yuan, save me... I don't want to die yet..." The delicate and lovely Dugu Yan in his arms murmured hazily, her hands wrapped around Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan first handed Ye Lingling and the others over to the nearby Martial Soul Hall Knights.
Then he tossed out a Martial Soul Hall Elder Token.
Qian Renxue had given it to him. With this token, they would presumably protect them properly.
Ye Yuan then brought Dugu Yan to a silent, deserted mountaintop.
"Miss Yan Yan, the poison that had accumulated in your body before has now flared up. The Ice and Fire Power within my body can help you suppress it."
"But during the process, neither of us can wear clothes. Please forgive the offense."
Dugu Yan pointed to a medicine pouch in her arms and said, "Those are medicines Grandpa gave me to stabilize the mind. Perhaps they might help with your treatment."
Ye Yuan took the pouch. Inside were one or two entirely red pills, which did not look remotely related to stabilizing the mind.
But Dugu Yan should not be deceiving him at a time like this.
He put a pill into his mouth, then placed another into Dugu Yan's mouth...
