Illusion

"Turning the tables?"

Shui Bing'er froze for a moment, then remembered Lin Yichen had just introduced his soul skill to her.

Charm.

Then she caught a fleeting glimpse of the clothes Wind Charm was wearing...

Or rather, only underwear.

Her face instantly flushed red. She turned her head away and cursed, "Shameless."

Then she thought of something else. Lin Yichen's Charm? Arousal?

Looking again at Wind Charm's wanton appearance across from them, Shui Bing'er felt uncomfortable all over.

"Oho~ Little brother, you want to turn the tables on your big sister? Then we'll have to see what you're capable of~"

Wind Charm chuckled, utterly seductive and enchanting. She even thrust out her chest and shot Shui Bing'er a provocative glance.

"Both contestants, release your martial souls!"

The referee's voice rang out. They had entered the preparation stage.

With a thought from each side, martial soul phantoms emerged behind them.

Except Lin Yichen's martial soul manifested separately from his body.

Among the opposing lineup, Wind Charm's martial soul was the Black Wind Fox.

Perhaps influenced by her martial soul, her true nature had become so flirtatious.

Black Falcon also seemed deep in thought as he glanced at Wind Charm beside him.

"Wind Charm, use your Charm later to directly control that Soul Elder and distract Guanghan."

"Alright, Brother Black~ You have to reward me properly tonight~"

Black Falcon's martial soul was the Black Eagle Falcon. It was quite special; although it belonged to the assault type, its speed rivaled that of the agility-attack type.

"The match begins!" The referee waved his flag.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Fox Breath Bewitches the Mind~"

This was Wind Charm's fourth soul skill. At its core, it was still Charm, drawing out the most primal desires in a person's heart.

Those bewitched would lose their will, acting only under the urges of their bodies.

Black Falcon had intended for Shui Bing'er to fall under the Charm and cling to Lin Yichen, distracting him before he delivered a fatal strike.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned...

Just as Wind Charm's Fox Breath Bewitches the Mind was about to activate, she met Lin Yichen's gaze.

His silver eyes glimmered. It was Lin Yichen's Eye of Guanghan!

Both were forms of Charm, but Lin Yichen's Eye of Guanghan was clearly superior.

Thus, Wind Charm, now bewitched herself, was not having a pleasant time. Her eyes became increasingly dazed.

Her feet unconsciously carried her toward Lin Yichen.

"Little Shui, go!"

Lin Yichen shouted, pointing his fan at Black Falcon. Shui Bing'er followed immediately after.

"First Soul Skill, Ice Seal!"

Shui Bing'er cried out, and icy-blue light flashed as it swept toward Black Falcon.

However, it was absolutely impossible for Shui Bing'er, with only the cultivation of a Soul Elder, to freeze Black Falcon on her own.

But...

"Sixth Soul Skill! Domain of Guanghan!"

Lin Yichen grasped at the air, and the entire arena was enveloped in a layer of moonlight, speckled with frost.

Wherever the moonlight shone, ice-type skills were greatly enhanced. Moreover, if one's soul power rank was lower than Lin Yichen's, the Eye of Guanghan would forcibly equalize their ranks.

In other words, with Lin Yichen's enhancement, Shui Bing'er's Ice Seal had now reached the power of a Soul Emperor.

Furthermore, within the Domain of Guanghan, the ice attribute of Shui Bing'er's top-tier Ice Phoenix martial soul would also receive an immense boost.

Which meant...

Shui Bing'er's ice was now Soul Emperor-level ultimate ice!

Freezing Black Falcon would be as easy as turning her hand!

Of course, Lin Yichen only wanted Shui Bing'er to freeze Black Falcon's feet, because the wicked amusement in his heart had reached its peak.

"You! How is this possible?! A Soul Elder froze me?"

"Stop shouting. Watch the show. Don't you like live broadcasts?"

Lin Yichen's voice filled the entire Domain of Guanghan, yet his figure was nowhere to be found.

Black Falcon instantly realized something was terribly wrong!

He looked up, and an image appeared before him.

Within it, Wind Charm's figure slowly emerged. Across from her stood a man—it was Lin Yichen, wearing a mask.

Wind Charm walked toward Lin Yichen, her steps unsteady. The hot breath spilling from her mouth collided with the cold air around her, creating swirling white mist.

Black Falcon instantly became hysterical. "Wind Charm! What are you doing?!"

Wind Charm turned a deaf ear. All the sharpness in her eyes had dissolved into vacant confusion as she stared straight at Lin Yichen opposite her, moving forward as though pulled by an invisible thread.

Like a puppet, she allowed herself to be controlled.

"Big sister, do you think I'm handsome?" Lin Yichen's voice came from all directions.

Wind Charm did not answer. Her steps only quickened.

Black Falcon struggled madly, but his feet were frozen solid and nailed to the ground.

He could only watch helplessly as Wind Charm walked toward another man, unable to do anything.

This was naturally an illusion.

Yet as Black Falcon watched the illusion in utter despair, Shui Bing'er beside him was completely confused.

Lin Yichen had covered her eyes, so she could not see anything at all.

Lin Yichen had lied to her, saying that what came next would be too cruel and she should not watch.

She believed him.

"Is it done yet?"

Seeing that the timing was right, Lin Yichen snapped his fingers, and the Domain of Guanghan instantly vanished.

"It's done."

Lin Yichen removed his hands from Shui Bing'er's face. The dark cunning in his expression was impossible to conceal.

"Guanghan! I'll kill you!"

Black Falcon had already gone mad, yet he could not move at all.

And what about Wind Charm beside him?

She had clearly seen the scene just now as well, and she panted heavily.

Yet when she looked at Lin Yichen, the hatred in her eyes from before was gone. There was even a hint of anticipation.

Lin Yichen did not know that. He only knew Black Falcon had lost all reason.

People like that were the easiest to handle. Once they lost their reason, they had no brains. Killing them was nothing.

As he looked at Wind Charm beside him, pleasure and discomfort intertwined within Lin Yichen.

The pleasure of watching was real.

But being with someone like this...

The discomfort was real too.

"Little Shui, release him."

Lin Yichen spoke in a low voice, glancing at Wind Charm beside him.

The two immediately understood.

Once Black Falcon was released from the ice seal and prepared to gather his strength to kill Lin Yichen.

A black shadow darted out from beside him.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Wind Blade Strangulation!"

The one who struck was Wind Charm, still bewitched! In an instant, six wind blades flew at him!

Every strike was a killing blow, every strike fatal!

Before Black Falcon could even cry out, he saw a flash of cold light!

Black Falcon was chopped into eight pieces...

Afterward, Wind Charm trembled as she came to Lin Yichen's side.

"What do you think, little brother? Shouldn't you reward me properly?"

Lin Yichen sneered, though his smile carried mockery.

"A reward? Of course you deserve one. We have a saying: dying for love is the oldest kind of love."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wind Charm's face changed drastically. But before she could react, the Lunar Jade Rabbit at her feet had already struck.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Rabbit Clone!"

In an instant, three Jade Rabbit clones appeared behind Wind Charm. At the same time, Lin Yichen's other hand gathered soul power toward Wind Charm's chest.

A flash of cold light! The Jade Rabbits and Lin Yichen's Moonlight Slash activated at the same time.

The wind howled as she crashed heavily to the ground.

Likewise, chopped into eight pieces.

"Ah, that illusion just now truly sullied my heart. Referee, the match can end now."

Lin Yichen helplessly rubbed his forehead and took Shui Bing'er's hand as they left without looking back, leaving only the "lovers" who had "died for love" in the arena.

"Th-the match is over!"

The referee's voice trembled. Clearly, he had not recovered from the corpses on the arena floor.

There was no applause from the audience below. Only dead silence.
