Huo Yuhao: Damn, no wonder he's a turtle bastard. That shameless face of his is hard as a rock!

"What kind of ability is this?!" The faces of everyone caught in the Killing Domain changed on the spot.

They could all clearly feel their attack power had been reduced by 30%!

"A Domain! You actually have a Domain!" Xu Sanshi might have acted like a carefree fool, but he was still one of the Outer Court Twin Stars!

He could recognize a Domain skill.

In an instant, the pressure was on.

Damn, what kind of person have I gotten myself mixed up with?

He's so young, and he already has a Domain!

But soon, he burst out laughing.

He'd spotted the ten-year white Soul Ring rising beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

"Hahahahaha! All bluff, huh? I thought you were something special, but you're just a Soul Master barely past level ten! And your Soul Ring's only ten years old!"

"So what if you have a Domain? I'll show you the gap between our strength!"

Xu Sanshi laughed heartily.

He immediately summoned his Martial Soul!

Black Tortoise!

His body shuddered violently!

Three Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet in an instant!

Yellow! Yellow! Purple!

The standard Soul Master setup!

The three Soul Rings also revealed that he was a Soul Elder!

His body swelled as a black tortoiseshell shield appeared!

"Hmph. The gap between our strength?" Huo Yuhao snorted. He hadn't even looked at what the options were.

On the surface, Huo Yuhao seemed to be at a disadvantage.

His Soul Power Level was only sixteen, but Huo Yuhao had cultivated the True Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record!

With the boost from his Domain, the gap between their actual combat strength was practically nonexistent.

It seemed everyone had forgotten to leave. They watched the two with rapt attention.

Soul Shock!

Mental Interference!

Huo Yuhao fused the two Soul Skills and unleashed them as a Combo Skill!

This was the Soul Skill Secret Technique: Combo Skill!

As long as he wanted, he could combine any two Soul Skills and use them together!

Combo Skill: Soul Rout!

Xu Sanshi raised the Black Tortoise Shield and crouched, using it to cover his body.

This move would be next to useless against a Soul Master who specialized in physical attacks, but Huo Yuhao's attack was mental!

Xu Sanshi had been caught out by a lack of information.

The moment Soul Rout hit him, Xu Sanshi felt dizzy, as if he couldn't think straight.

True Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon!

While Xu Sanshi was under his control, Huo Yuhao immediately pulled him over!

True Mysterious Jade Hand!

He landed a solid slap across Xu Sanshi's face!

The blow made Huo Yuhao's hand ache.

It also left Xu Sanshi seeing stars.

"Damn, no wonder you're a turtle bastard. Your shameless face is hard as a rock!" Huo Yuhao spat.

Xu Sanshi came to his senses just then.

He immediately tried to retaliate!

But a sharp female voice rang out from nearby.

"What do you think you're doing, Xu! San! Shi!" Jiang Nannan shouted through gritted teeth.

Hearing Jiang Nannan's roar, Xu Sanshi stopped moving.

He silently withdrew his Martial Soul.

"What, are you stupid? You think I'm going to stop?" Huo Yuhao charged forward and kicked Xu Sanshi flat on his back.

He wasn't some honorable gentleman. Once the fight had started, he'd use every means at his disposal!

The winner made the rules!

Xu Sanshi had withdrawn his Martial Soul and Soul Power, so right now he was just like an ordinary person!

Huo Yuhao had just kicked him with all his strength, and Xu Sanshi's head was still ringing.

Just then, Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eye Illusion!

Their eyes met!!!

"Stop. He's already received the punishment he deserved." Jiang Nannan walked over.

"You say stop, and I stop? Wouldn't that make me look like a pushover?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao picked up the Storage Soul Tool from Xu Sanshi.

"Let's call this compensation for what you owe me, plus my fee for stepping in. You don't have a problem with that, do you?"

Huo Yuhao looked down at Xu Sanshi.

By now, he'd briefly fallen into the illusion.

How could he possibly object?

"I don't have a problem with it." As he spoke, "Xu Sanshi" got up from the ground.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have fought so fiercely over Jiang Nannan. I'll reflect on my actions!" Xu Sanshi bowed to Huo Yuhao.

"Admitting your mistakes and correcting them is a good thing." Huo Yuhao patted Xu Sanshi on the shoulder.

Where's my reward?

Damn, why hasn't it come yet???

Hadn't he already taken everything valuable Xu Sanshi had?

Seeing the two of them acting like old friends, Jiang Nannan suddenly felt like a clown. She turned and left at once.

"That was incredible! That was Xu Sanshi! A fifth-year student, one of the Outer Court Twin Stars alongside Beibei!"

"And this new student actually brought him to heel!"

Everyone buzzed with discussion, though the story changed as it spread.

They said the new student had defeated Xu Sanshi in one move!

They said Xu Sanshi had been beaten by the new student with one hand!

By the end, the rumors had gotten even more outrageous!

They were saying the new student had unleashed a Domain and scared Xu Sanshi so badly that he'd wet himself!

"I don't think the Storage Soul Tool is enough to cover your fee. Let's add this, too." As he spoke, "Xu Sanshi" took out a small white porcelain bottle and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

Good, good. He was still hiding something. Lucky for me he fell for my illusion.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing Option Two. Your reward (Soul Ring Slot x1) has been issued.]

[Storage Space: True Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record x1, Soul Ring Slot x1]

While Xu Sanshi was under the illusion, Huo Yuhao had briefly reviewed the four options.

He felt that, aside from the second one, he probably wouldn't get any of the other rewards.

He could definitely claim Option Four, but!

Just for a mere one level of Innate Soul Power?

It wasn't worth it at all!

After all, Huo Yuhao's Innate Soul Power was already recovering!

It had reached level three so far!

And Huo Yuhao could recover it all the way to level ten!

So a reward of one extra level of Innate Soul Power was nothing special.

Xu Sanshi suddenly shook his head.

"What just happened?"

Huo Yuhao replied innocently, "You apologized to me just now and handed over everything you owned."

"Huh?" Xu Sanshi didn't understand for a moment.

Hadn't he just been fighting tooth and nail with Huo Yuhao?

Then hadn't Nannan come over to break it up?

And hadn't the two of them made peace?

And finally, hadn't he and Nannan lived happily ever after?

What was going on now?!

Could somebody tell him?

Huo Yuhao feigned confusion. "Brother Xu, what's wrong? You apologized to me in front of all those people just now. Don't tell me you're going back on your word?"

To be fair, if the illusion had been a different kind, Xu Sanshi would surely have broken free quickly.

Unfortunately for him, the illusion was Jiang Nannan.

The Spirit Eye Illusion was simple: it dragged any being whose eyes met Huo Yuhao's into an illusion.

If their mental strength was far below Huo Yuhao's, then no matter what illusion he showed them, they wouldn't be able to break free!

Clearly, Xu Sanshi had enough mental strength to break out of the illusion.

It was only because Jiang Nannan was inside it that he'd lost himself in the illusion.

"Huh? No, no. Why would I go back on my word?" Xu Sanshi shook his head.

Although Jiang Nannan had left, she hadn't gone far. Besides, there were so many people nearby who could testify.

And there was one more thing: that feeling he'd just had was simply too wonderful.

He wanted to experience it again...
