Shi Nian's voice.

Had just fallen.

When the streets of the entire illusion space

began to collapse.

The next second,

the three masters and pupils seemed to find themselves inside a Martial Soul's inner space.

Everything around them turned purple.

There was no sky above,

nor ground beneath their feet.

Their situation was extremely dangerous.

"Teacher."

"Old man!"

Both girls were extremely nervous.

"Don't move!"

"This is the inner space of his Residual Dream Martial Soul."

"It's all an illusion!"

Yu Xiaolong said sharply.

"Looks like you know quite a bit about me, 54th-level Soul King?"

"What a joke. You're so weak, yet you dare bring disciples around?"

Faced with these taunts,

Yu Xiaolong didn't argue.

Shui Bing'er was angry.

Resisting the erosion of the Residual Dream Martial Soul, she called out, "Teacher!"

"Let me fight!"

As she spoke,

she immediately released her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, the Ultimate Ice.

"First Soul Skill: Ice Seal!"

Shui Bing'er made her move.

"Child's play! Ask your teacher whether he thinks he can beat me!"

Watching the young girl attack him,

Shi Nian laughed wickedly. "The last person who dared offend me was abused to death. Hahaha..."

At that,

Shui Bing'er's gaze turned cold.

What she hated most were Soul Masters who used underhanded tactics

to prey on women!

"Third Soul Skill: Resistance Ice Ring!"

Pfft.

A ring of ice

formed from cold frost

gathered around her, creating a repulsive force.

It was similar to Huo Wu's Resistance Fire Ring.

"Child's play! A mere Soul Ancestor dares attack me?"

As he spoke,

the next second,

Shui Bing'er fell to the ground,

then floated into the air.

The Residual Dream Martial Soul's Soul Power had seized control of all four of her limbs.

It was as if she had been pinned to a bed,

at the mercy of someone who could do whatever they wanted to her.

"Teacher!" Shui Bing'er was afraid.

Her hands and feet

were pinned apart in a spread-eagle position.

If her opponent pounced on her now,

she'd have no way to fight back.

He could do whatever he wanted to her.

Seeing Shui Bing'er's chest heave,

Huo Wu couldn't stand by any longer.

"Despicable bastard!"

"Fire Shadow, open!"

She released her Martial Soul.

"Fourth Soul Skill!"

"Blazing Sun Dance!"

Blazing Sun Dance!

A ball of white fire formed above her head, locking onto the opponent and launching a high-speed tracking attack.

Yu Xiaolong saw it clearly.

The white fireball

locked directly onto Shi Nian, hiding in the shadows.

But Shi Nian wasn't worried.

He laughed lewdly. "I'd planned to finish you off quickly, but seeing your young bodies, I realize it's been a long time since I've enjoyed such high-quality women."

"And you're one ice, one fire—a pair of perfect sources of nourishment!"

"Once I've captured you, little girl, I'll tie you both up together!"

Huo Wu was clever.

She'd gone straight for the Soul Skill she was best at.

Unfortunately,

under the crushing pressure of their difference in Soul Power,

its effect was negligible.

"What!?"

Watching her strongest Soul Skill

get snuffed out in an instant

by the Residual Dream's enormous hand,

a sharp gleam flashed through Huo Wu's eyes.

Then,

she raised her hand. "Second Martial Soul, awaken!"

As soon as the words left her mouth,

behind her,

a scarlet lion

came roaring forth.

"Lion Star Dragon Martial Soul!"

"Roar!"

The Lion Star Dragon Martial Soul

had been released in battle for the first time.

"What!? Twin Martial Souls!?"

This sudden turn of events

left even Shi Nian stunned.

His expression changed.

Murderous intent showed plainly on his face. "So you have Twin Martial Souls, too. Then I have even more reason to kill you!"

"Fire Whip Subjugation!"

With the Lion Star Dragon Martial Soul,

Huo Wu pulled a fire whip from her waist

and bound the old scoundrel Shi Nian in one swift motion.

"Little girl, you think you can control me inside my Residual Dream? Isn't that a little too fanciful?"

As he finished,

the bound Shi Nian

turned into a pool of liquid

and dissolved.

The next second,

he appeared behind Huo Wu.

"Hmph. Too late!"

Shi Nian flashed behind her.

The Residual Dream Martial Soul, like an octopus,

restricted her movements.

The next second,

Huo Wu, like Shui Bing'er,

was seized by all four limbs

and pinned in midair,

waiting for Shi Nian to do as he pleased.

"You've watched long enough. Ready to die?"

After finishing what he was doing,

the smile on Shi Nian's face faded,

replaced by a chilling expression.

He turned to look at Yu Xiaolong, who still hadn't made a move.

"Teacher!"

"Old man, you're about to die and you still won't run? Hurry up! You idiot!"

Huo Wu refused to accept the same fate as Shui Bing'er.

She was still struggling.

Unfortunately, inside this Residual Dream Space,

the Soul Power clung to them like bone-deep poison,

leaving them unable to break free!

Yu Xiaolong looked at Shi Nian

without a trace of nervousness.

"Yu Xiaolong? If I'm not mistaken, you and Yu Xiaogang are brothers?"

As he spoke,

Shi Nian suddenly looked rather peculiar.

The Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—

that famous tale in the Soul Master World.

How could he not have heard of it?

Yu Xiaolong said, "Looks like I'm not completely unknown. Someone still recognizes me. Since you know who I am, let me go. If I'm in a good mood, I might even leave you with your whole corpse."

Shi Nian had killed innocent people.

And Lucia's people were all right, too.

In Yu Xiaolong's eyes,

there was no way Shi Nian could escape death.

The only question

was whether he'd be left with his whole corpse.

"Heh... You're about to die, and you're still talking tough."

"You and the Grandmaster both have Luo Sanpao Martial Souls. Don't think I don't know."

"You're a useless fool, yet you dare run your mouth in front of me!"

"Die!"

As he spoke,

his face suddenly twisted into a vicious scowl.

Shi Nian was about to unleash his Martial Soul.

But in the next second,

his expression froze.

He watched as Yu Xiaolong reached into the void with one hand.

Then two red Soul Rings slowly emerged around him.

Red!

Red!

Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

They appeared out of thin air.

And the second Soul Ring—any Soul Master whose Soul Power surpassed that of a Soul Saint

could sense that it was no mere Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

It was far beyond a hundred thousand years!

"Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings!?"

Shi Nian, who had been wearing a cruel, murderous expression just a moment ago,

stared at the two Soul Rings that had suddenly burst into view.

His face went rigid.

He practically shouted in shock.

Before Shi Nian could react,

Yu Xiaolong clasped his hands behind his back.

His entire body slowly rose into the air.

"To rule the skies, while the earth lies prostrate beneath my feet."

His words rang with domineering might,

echoing throughout the Residual Dream World.

Within the Residual Dream Space, the purple mist

had originally shrouded everything in a hazy veil.

Suddenly, the dazzling red light of Yu Xiaolong's Soul Rings

illuminated it completely.

"Teacher!"

Shui Bing'er froze.

"Is the old man finally going to show his stuff?"

Huo Wu murmured as well.

She had never seen Yu Xiaolong fight in earnest.

But at this crucial moment,

watching two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings burst forth from Yu Xiaolong's body,

her own blood surged with excitement!
