Huo Yuhao's Domain Unfolds

"Damn it!"

Wang Dong'er spread her wings, nimbly dodging the shells in mid-air as powder-blue soul power coalesced within her wings.

"First Soul Skill, Wing Blade!"

A sharp slash cleaved toward Huo Yuhao, only to be blocked by a Level 3 defensive Soul Tool shield he tossed out with a flick of his wrist.

"Xiao Xiao! Use the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to control him!"

Wang Dong'er shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Understood!"

Xiao Xiao nodded, and three massive black cauldrons hovered in the air, crashing down toward Huo Yuhao.

However, before the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron could even get close, a shell landed with pinpoint accuracy against the side of the cauldron.

With a deafening "boom," the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron was sent flying backward, and Xiao Xiao let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale in an instant.

"Xiao Xiao!"

Wang Dong'er cried out in alarm, wanting to rush over to help, but she was forced to retreat repeatedly by a barrage of shells.

Seeing this, Teacher Wang Yan immediately flew over, shielding Xiao Xiao behind him and carrying her off the Assessment Platform:

"Xiao Xiao has lost her combat capability, eliminated!"

"Damn it!"

Wang Dong'er gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with fury. Braving the artillery fire, she desperately pushed forward toward Huo Yuhao.

She unleashed the soul skills of the Radiant Goddess Butterfly one after another, yet each was neutralized by Huo Yuhao's Soul Tools.

Just as she finally charged to within ten meters of Huo Yuhao, a pale blue soul ray suddenly fired from beside the cannon barrel, striking her leg with precision.

"Ugh!" Wang Dong'er's entire body went numb; she instantly lost the ability to move and collapsed straight toward the ground.

At that very moment, a shell happened to be falling directly toward her position.

In that split second, a golden figure flashed by, and Mu En flicked his hand, batting the shell away.

"Wang Dong'er has lost her combat capability, eliminated!"

Mu En carried Wang Dong'er off the platform and announced in a deep voice.

Standing off the stage, Wang Dong'er watched Huo Yuhao, who remained calm and composed on the Assessment Platform, and stomped her foot in frustration, her eyes slightly reddened.

She was unwilling to accept this; she truly could not accept it!

She had given her all, yet she hadn't even managed to get close to him.

In less than ten minutes, the remaining thirteen freshmen were also eliminated one after another by Huo Yuhao's soul cannons and mental shocks.

The entire Assessment Platform had been blasted into a unrecognizable mess, yet not even a speck of dust had touched the hem of Huo Yuhao's clothes.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence once more.

Fifteen against one, and they had lost this miserably?!

On the high platform, Xuan Zi watched the unscathed Huo Yuhao below and couldn't help but lean toward Mu En, lowering his voice:

"Elder Mu, this kid is too strong! Fifteen freshmen attacked at once, and they didn't even touch his hem. There's no point in continuing the fight like this."

Mu En stroked his beard, his eyes filled with amazement and gratification:

"Indeed, Yuhao has no rivals left among the freshmen.

But we also want to determine the true extent of his strength."

He paused, then turned to look at Yan Shaozhe:

"Shaozhe, go call the elites of the Outer Court over.

Tell them that whoever can defeat Huo Yuhao will be directly admitted to the Inner Court and rewarded with a thousand-year soul bone."

"What?!"

Yan Shaozhe's eyes widened in shock.

"Elder Mu, wouldn't that be too excessive? The cultivation levels of the senior students far exceed Huo Yuhao's."

"That is exactly why it must be done."

Mu En nodded, then looked back at Huo Yuhao on the platform and said in a loud voice:

"Yuhao, if you can defeat all the Outer Court elites, all previously promised rewards will be doubled."

A sharp glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "No problem, Elder Mu."

Soon, twenty elites from the Outer Court with refined auras walked quickly onto the Assessment Platform, led by Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao, a wry smile appearing on his face:

"Yuhao, I never expected us to face off in this manner. You must go easy on us."

"Senior Brother Bei Bei, please give it your all."

Huo Yuhao said earnestly.

"Good! Then we won't stand on ceremony!"

As soon as Bei Bei finished speaking, his three soul rings—yellow, purple, and purple—instantly lit up. Blue electric arcs crackled around his body as he suddenly unleashed his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

A massive blue dragon claw, carrying an aura of destruction, swiped fiercely toward Huo Yuhao.

Down on the ground, Wang Dong'er held her breath, her fists clenched tightly.

Bei Bei possessed the strength of a four-ringed soul master; the power of this strike was not to be underestimated!

However, Huo Yuhao merely raised his right hand slowly.

A silver-white mental slash, condensed to the extreme, tore through the air. Fast as lightning, it struck the thunderous dragon claw with pinpoint precision.

"Crack!"

The thunderous dragon claw shattered upon impact.

The mental slash, its momentum undiminished, continued to cut toward Bei Bei.

Bei Bei's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest to block.

"Puchi!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

Bei Bei's sleeve was completely shredded, and a deep wound, exposing the bone, appeared on his arm as blood gushed out instantly.

"Bei Bei!"

Xu Sanshi exclaimed, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

"Yuhao, then it's my turn!"

His four soul rings lit up, and with a fierce stomp of his feet, he circled behind Huo Yuhao.

A massive black tortoise shell slammed down heavily toward Huo Yuhao.

But just as the shell was about to make contact, Huo Yuhao's figure suddenly became blurred.

"Bang!"

Xu Sanshi slammed solidly into the ground, creating a large crater, but he had only struck an afterimage.

"Not his real body?!"

Xu Sanshi looked up abruptly, his face full of shock.

The next second, a Level 3 explosive soul-guided cannonball appeared right before his eyes.

"Boom!"

Xu Sanshi was sent flying by the blast, crashing heavily onto the edge of the Assessment Platform.

"Attack together! He's only one person!"

The remaining eighteen elites of the outer courtyard roared in unison, releasing their martial souls and soul skills as they swarmed Huo Yuhao from all directions.

The light of various soul skills intertwined, enveloping the entire Assessment Platform.

Huo Yuhao remained unhurried, his soul-guided cannon spitting tongues of fire as dense volleys of shells forced back those charging at the front.

But the strength of the outer courtyard elites was far beyond that of the freshmen; they coordinated seamlessly, quickly breaking through the barrage and closing in on Huo Yuhao.

The lethality of the Level 3 soul-guided shells was gradually proving insufficient.

Just then, a brilliant purple light suddenly ignited in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

He slowly extended his right hand, pointing his fingertips toward them, his voice calm:

"Domain Expansion, Abyss of Endless Slashes!"

Hum—!

A vast mental energy, like a sea of stars, erupted instantly. Centered on Huo Yuhao, a fifty-meter radius was completely enveloped.

The air seemed to solidify.

The next second, countless transparent mental slashes emerged from thin air, dense as a rainstorm, sweeping toward every student within the domain.

"Ah!"

Cries of pain rose one after another.

Those students charging at the front didn't even have time to react before they were struck by the slashes, collapsing to the ground covered in wounds.

The students behind hurriedly released defensive soul skills, but those mental slashes could not only cut the body but also pierce through defenses to attack the mental world directly.

In just three seconds.

All eighteen outer courtyard elites lay on the ground, having lost their combat effectiveness.

The entire Great Soul Arena fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the youth on the Assessment Platform, who was surrounded by the silver-white light of the slashes, their faces written with shock.

A domain!

It was actually a domain!

A thirty-six-level Soul Elder actually possessed his own domain!
