Fierce Battle, Ghostly Apparition Strikes, Xuanzi Appears

Huo Yuhao turned around to face Wu Feng.

Wu Feng naturally saw his icy gaze, and a chill ran through her heart.

This look... it was like looking at a dead person, and it even made her feel afraid.

Wu Feng was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, she felt like backing down.

Could this guy really...

No, that's not right.

But soon, Wu Feng recalled Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Level and instantly felt her worries were superfluous, even finding her own thoughts just now a bit ridiculous.

She had almost been bluffed by him.

A piece of trash who was at most level ten-something! What was there to be afraid of?!

Could he really beat her to death?!!

"What? Still want to spar with me?"

Wu Feng laughed. Just as she was about to continue mocking him and ridiculing his overestimation of his own abilities, she discovered that Huo Yuhao, who had been right in front of her, had suddenly vanished.

!!!

Her heart skipped a beat; she didn't know what had happened.

What's going on? He was clearly right here just a moment ago?!!

Just as Wu Feng tried to search for Huo Yuhao's figure, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Huo Yuhao had appeared before her at some point and slammed his right knee hard into her lower abdomen.

Huo Yuhao couldn't be bothered to listen to her nonsense anymore; saying more was useless.

Once beaten into submission, she would naturally shut up.

How is his speed so fast?!!

Huo Yuhao's sudden attack left Wu Feng with no way to dodge; this was the only thought that managed to flash through her mind.

The next moment, she was sent flying into the air by Huo Yuhao's knee strike.

Wu Feng hung in mid-air, instinctively wanting to retaliate, but she realized with horror that she couldn't exert any force while airborne.

In her desperation, she could only passively try to summon her Martial Soul for defense.

But how could Huo Yuhao give her that chance?

A punch, swung from out of nowhere, landed heavily on Wu Feng's head. She immediately felt a wave of dizziness, and the scene before her eyes even went black.

Naturally, she failed to summon her Martial Soul as she had intended.

"Yuhao!"

Wang Dong, standing to the side, finally reacted and wanted to step forward to intervene.

She knew Huo Yuhao's true strength; even she had felt like she was going to die at his hands back then.

And the killing intent radiating from Huo Yuhao just now made Wang Dong feel even more afraid than when she had fought him before.

If Yuhao is pushed too far, he really will kill someone!!

She didn't care about Wu Feng's life; the way she was acting just now, even if she were beaten to death, she would have deserved it!!

But this is Shrek!!

She cannot die here!! Especially not at Yuhao's hands!!

Wang Dong was very clear that Huo Yuhao truly had no background whatsoever.

He was not like her; even if she caused trouble within Shrek, because she had the Clear Sky Sect behind her, as well as Big Uncle and Second Uncle, Shrek would never dare to do anything to her.

Even if they wanted to punish her, they would have to weigh whether they could withstand the wrath of the entire Clear Sky Sect.

But Yuhao is different.

He has no one behind him!

If Yuhao really killed Wu Feng here, Shrek would absolutely make him pay with his life!!

Thinking of this, Wang Dong could no longer hold back. She summoned her Radiant Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, intending to step forward and pull the two apart.

But Huo Yuhao seemed to have guessed her intentions. After landing the punch on Wu Feng's head, he turned to look at Wang Dong. That icy gaze actually made a chill run down Wang Dong's spine!

This one look from Huo Yuhao conveyed only one message to her.

Don't meddle!

Wang Dong was frightened by the ferocity in Huo Yuhao's eyes and stood frozen in place.

It was precisely because of Wang Dong's interruption that Wu Feng gained a moment to breathe. She landed on the ground, steadied her stance, and a scorching wave of heat surged across the field. She finally had the chance to summon her Martial Soul.

Assault-type Beast Martial Soul.

Red Dragon.

With a faint dragon's roar, two yellow soul rings instantly rose from beneath her feet.

Wu Feng's lithe body suddenly became elongated, and fine red dragon scales began to spread from the left side of her face, extending downward along her shoulder to her entire left arm and hand.

Her school uniform, representing her status as a Shrek student, was torn apart, revealing the specialized tight-fitting clothing underneath.

At this moment, Wu Feng's power and speed were greatly amplified.

Although the quality of her Red Dragon Martial Soul could not compare to Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Overlord Dragon, it still ranked among the top-tier martial souls.

Feeling the waves of dizziness emanating from her head, the newly standing Wu Feng felt her fury boil over, and her eyes turned blood-red.

When had she ever suffered such grievances! To be bullied like this by a commoner!!

"You are courting death!!"

Following a shrill cry distorted by rage, Wu Feng transformed into a red cannonball and charged toward Huo Yuhao, swearing to tear him to shreds!

Facing this situation, Huo Yuhao's gaze only grew colder, looking at the charging Wu Feng as if she were already a corpse.

He pushed his soul power to the limit, and the Ghost Killing Art surged wildly!

Huo Yuhao had only one thought in his mind now.

Kill!

Kill her!!

Endless killing intent flooded the entire arena, causing the scorching heat waves brought by Wu Feng's Red Dragon Martial Soul to fade away.

The shift in the environment also affected Wu Feng's state; the speed and strength gained from Martial Soul Possession vanished, and suppressed by Huo Yuhao's killing intent, she couldn't even maintain her normal performance!

This massive disparity left Wu Feng unable to adapt, and she grew panicked.

It was at this moment that a jade-white 'ten-year' soul ring appeared beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, and purple-gold light shone in the depths of his eyes.

Wu Feng let out a muffled groan as her brain felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and her forward momentum was abruptly halted.

Soul Shock!

And it was a Soul Shock bolstered by the first level of the Purple Demon Eye!

The next moment, Huo Yuhao reappeared before Wu Feng and struck her chest with a direct punch!

Wu Feng instantly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if several ribs had been shattered, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Huo Yuhao would not let her off so easily.

After landing the punch, he did not retreat; instead, he reached out and clamped his hand onto her face, gripping it so tightly that it seemed as if he intended to crush her skull!

Then, under Wang Dong's horrified gaze, he slammed her directly into the ground!

Once! Twice!! Three times!!!

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!

Every time Huo Yuhao slammed Wu Feng's head down, a thunderous sound echoed, causing the neatly laid stone tiles of the path to shatter.

Huo Yuhao continued to grip Wu Feng's head, slamming it down again and again, until Wang Dong finally snapped out of her shock.

She decisively activated her martial soul, unfurled her wings, and rushed forward to grab Huo Yuhao's arm, screaming desperately.

"Yuhao! Calm down!!"

"This is Shrek! You cannot actually kill her!!"

Because his arm was tightly held by Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao was forced to release Wu Feng's head.

At the same time, within the Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had awakened at the start of the battle, urged Huo Yuhao anxiously.

"Yuhao! Stop now! Powerful humans are rapidly approaching! Leave this place!!"

At this moment, Wu Feng's face was covered in blood, her gaze was dull, and her eyes seemed unfocused—a truly gruesome sight.

She hadn't even managed to release a single soul skill before the battle had ended.

Logically, stopping now was indeed the best choice, and Huo Yuhao understood that he could not kill Wu Feng within the academy.

But a fire burned in his heart; the word "commoner" was like a steel nail driven into his soul.

He was different from other transmigrators who arrived halfway through.

He had arrived on the Douluo Continent while still in his mother's womb, only awakening his memories of a past life later on.

It was less of a transmigration and more of a reincarnation.

He had experienced everything Huo Yuhao had endured.

Whether it was the bullying by the White Tiger Duke in his childhood or the care of Huo Yun'er, he remembered it all.

He was Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao was him! There was no distinction between them!!

That was why he had sworn to slaughter the White Tiger lineage and avenge his birth mother!

If even this person could call him a commoner without consequence, then what right did he have to talk about revenge!! What face would he have to meet his deceased mother?!!

Huo Yuhao knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew the consequences.

But he would not regret it.

It seemed that sensing this killing intent within Huo Yuhao's heart, the Black Cyclone that had been dormant within his Sea of Consciousness began to stir.

Within the cyclone, the Ghost Demon Venerable opened his eyes, revealing a look of appreciation for the very first time.

As he appeared, the soul power of the Ghost Killing Art within Huo Yuhao's body surged violently.

His entire strength skyrocketed, and he actually threw off Wang Dong, who had already activated her martial soul!

Following this, the extreme killing intent condensed into a physical form, and a terrifying power gathered directly upon his fist.

Feeling this power, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and smashed his fist directly toward Wu Feng's head.

At this moment, Wu Feng had already fallen into a coma and was completely devoid of any defense.

If this blow landed, her head would likely be smashed to smithereens.

Just as Wang Dong watched all of this happen in despair, a figure appeared between Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng.

It appeared to be a disheveled old man, holding a chicken leg in his left hand and a wine gourd tucked at his waist.

The moment he appeared, Huo Yuhao was sent flying by a massive force, and the fist that should have shattered Wu Feng's head struck nothing but air.

The old man who had suddenly appeared took a bite of his chicken leg before looking at the unconscious Wu Feng, his brow furrowing.

Then, he turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao, who had already been caught by Wang Dong, his tone somewhat cold.

"You've got a ruthless hand, kid."
