Three Stones: I'm Broken.

Receiving the signal from both, the referee teacher announced the start of the match and quickly retreated.

The Soul Fighting Zone, which had been somewhat noisy a moment ago, instantly fell into a dead silence, with everyone's gaze fixed on the two figures in the arena.

Clearly, they were very curious about how this Soul Fighting match with such a massive disparity would unfold. Privately, quite a few students had even quietly placed their bets.

Xu Sanshi took a deep breath and re-released his Martial Soul. His body expanded rapidly, stretching his school uniform taut, and the massive Tortoise Shell Shield appeared in his right hand.

Huo Yuhao stood quietly in place, golden light flickering in his eyes. Immediately after, two extremely eye-catching purple soul rings rose slowly from beneath his feet.

The watching students were subconsciously stunned, expressions of astonishment appearing on their faces; they had not expected that a freshman of such an age would have thousand-year soul rings for both his first and second slots.

Tang San, who was watching the battle from the corner of the Soul Fighting Zone, clenched his fists involuntarily as he looked at the scene before him.

Red light flickered in the depths of his eyes, and an indescribable rage instantly filled his chest, almost swallowing him whole.

That damned Huo Yuhao; he had indeed been reborn just like him.

Standing not far from Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi felt that intense pressure at this moment.

He gripped his Tortoise Shell Shield tightly, took a half-step back, and crouched slightly, treating the situation as if facing a formidable enemy as he held the heavy shield in front of him, hiding his entire body behind it.

At the same time, pitch-black soul power surged out from the Tortoise Shell Shield, faintly forming a black light barrier that enveloped his entire person.

Clearly, the pressure brought by those two thousand-year soul rings was too overwhelming.

Huo Yuhao, however, looked at Xu Sanshi's nervous appearance and spoke mockingly:

"What? Are you really like a turtle, only capable of shrinking into your shell?"

For the current Huo Yuhao, defeating Xu Sanshi was no difficult task.

He only needed to release a Soul Shock to make his opponent instantly lose combat capability, and even blowing his opponent's head apart would be simple.

But in his previous life, he didn't even know when he had been targeted by that Tang San, so naturally, he did not wish to appear too terrifying.

Even for the current Huo Yuhao, if he could not find a way to deal with Tang San of the God Realm in this era.

He was prepared to use the Eye of Destiny to extend his own lifespan and that of those he cared about, waiting until the God Realm was swept away by the space-time turbulence before making new plans.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's merciless mockery, Xu Sanshi did not lose his composure; instead, his third soul ring suddenly lit up.

Although he had not undergone the family ritual and failed to awaken the Black Tortoise bloodline within him.

Yet, under the augmentation of the Mysterious Underworld Power, Xu Sanshi's entire body expanded once more, and the black light on the Tortoise Shell Shield instantly doubled in intensity.

At the same time, Xu Sanshi's first hundred-year yellow soul ring lit up, and a powerful black halo instantly spread out from the shield in his hand, rippling outward like water waves and releasing a rumbling roar.

Mysterious Underworld Shock.

Xu Sanshi's first soul skill, possessing powerful impact and a stunning effect.

Facing the black halo rushing toward him, Huo Yuhao did not retreat to create distance as others had expected; instead, he shot toward Xu Sanshi like an arrow released from a bow.

Tempered by the Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement and the Ice Empress Torso Bone, Huo Yuhao's physique was now no less than a Soul King under Martial Soul Possession.

As for the stunning effect of Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Underworld Shock, it was not even worth mentioning to Huo Yuhao.

Amidst the gasps of the surrounding students, Huo Yuhao rushed directly to the outer edge of Xu Sanshi's black light barrier as if teleporting.

Facing that thick black light barrier, Huo Yuhao gave it a casual, light tap.

With a soft "pop," the black light barrier shattered instantly.

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened in utter disbelief; he clearly had not expected this situation, and even now, he did not know what Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul actually was.

In his haste, Xu Sanshi attempted to activate his second soul skill to condense the Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation in front of him.

However, the moment the soul skill was about to be released, a violent wave of dizziness struck him, and he felt as if his head had been smashed by a giant hammer.

His consciousness blurred instantly, and Xu Sanshi's movements were interrupted. He could only see a fist growing larger before his eyes, heading straight for his jaw.

"Bang!"

Xu Sanshi felt himself fly into the air, a dim sky appearing in his field of vision.

He felt as if he were soaring through the heavens, but before he could react, his collar was tightly grabbed by a hand.

Immediately following, Huo Yuhao's fists rained down on Xu Sanshi's face.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Xu Sanshi's face suddenly felt like a spice shop had opened up; sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty sensations all emerged at once.

Huo Yuhao's peripheral vision caught the Tortoise Shell Shield lying on the ground; he raised his foot and brought it down, and the Tortoise Shell Shield shattered into pieces.

As his Martial Soul was destroyed, Xu Sanshi could no longer hold on; his eyes went black, and he passed out completely.

All of this happened so fast that even the referee on the side had not reacted.

Looking at the unconscious Xu Sanshi, the referee finally came to his senses and announced loudly:

"Freshman of the first grade, Huo Yuhao, wins!"

As Huo Yuhao tossed Xu Sanshi onto the ground like trash, the students on the surrounding viewing platforms of the Soul Fighting Zone erupted into intense cheers as if waking from a dream.

"Huo Yuhao! Huo Yuhao!"

It was unclear who started it, but soon Huo Yuhao's name echoed throughout the entire Soul Fighting Zone.

Naturally, a few curses directed at Xu Sanshi were mixed in, clearly from those who had lost their bets.

Tang San watched Huo Yuhao, who had captured everyone's attention on the fighting stage, his eyes growing even more sinister.

The current Huo Yuhao was far stronger and far more extraordinary than the one in his memories.

He had considered intercepting Huo Yuhao's opportunities before, but that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm required a spirit-attribute soul master.

In this life, he had once again awakened the Blue Silver Grass and a hammer similar to the Clear Sky Hammer; under such circumstances, attracting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was simply impossible.

However, it was not as if he couldn't surpass Huo Yuhao; with the existence of the Trident, it was only a matter of time before he overtook him.

For Tang San, what he cared about more was the Tang San of the God Realm.

He might even consider cooperating with Huo Yuhao in the future to kill the Tang San of the God Realm.

After all, Huo Yuhao should also want to kill the Tang San of the God Realm, so cooperating with someone of his own world-shaking intellect was clearly the wise choice for Huo Yuhao to make.

Thinking this, Tang San stood up and quietly slipped out of the Soul Fighting Zone. Watching Huo Yuhao's performance, he felt he had to redouble his cultivation.

Still, getting something to eat was more important for now.

On the fighting stage, Huo Yuhao watched the blue-haired youth leave, lost in thought.

That undisguised malice, and that familiar aura...

He suddenly realized something: could Tang San have been reborn, just like him?

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, but he quickly regained his composure.

Even if Tang San really had been reborn, he wouldn't be overly worried.

If they were truly standing at the same starting line, he did not believe Tang San would be stronger than him.

The only one he truly cared about remained the Tang San of the God Realm.
