A Bunch of Worthless Rabble

Without even making a sound, it was completely vaporized, annihilated, reduced to nothingness the instant it met Yu Chen's gaze!

And Huo Yuhao himself bore the full brunt of that pressure!

"Ugh..."

His mind went blank in an instant.

He felt as if his soul no longer belonged to him.

An invisible giant claw, covered in ancient dragon scales, reached over from another dimension and effortlessly seized his fragile soul before slowly... tightening!

Crack! Crack crack!

That was the sound of a soul being crushed!

All light vanished from Huo Yuhao's eyes in an instant, leaving behind only endless terror born from the instinct to survive!

He wanted to scream, but no sound came out.

He wanted to retreat, but he could not control his own body.

He felt as though he was not facing a person, but an endless abyss of destruction where darkness and thunder intertwined!

Within that abyss, a pair of unimaginably enormous dragon eyes watched him indifferently.

One was an azure vertical pupil gleaming with destructive white light, representing ultimate light and yang thunder!

The other was a crimson vertical pupil blazing with endless black flames, representing ultimate darkness and yin thunder!

Before those eyes, gods and demons alike were as insignificant as dust!

Thud!

The muffled sound was especially piercing in the Great Soul Arena, which had grown so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Huo Yuhao's legs could no longer support his weight. His knees buckled, and before the tens of thousands of spectators and all the Shrek Academy teachers and students in the VIP seats, he stiffly... knelt before Yu Chen.

Blood seeped from his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears all at once.

His body convulsed violently from extreme terror. An uncontrollable stream of warm liquid ran down his trouser legs, quickly spreading into a conspicuous puddle across the polished arena floor...

He had actually been scared into wetting himself!

The entire venue fell deathly silent.

Everyone looked like ducks being strangled, mouths wide open but unable to make a sound.

What had they just seen?

The boy representing Shrek Academy had knelt simply because of a single look from his opponent...?

And... and he was bleeding from all seven orifices and had lost control of his bladder and bowels?!

What the hell was going on?!

This had gone beyond everyone's comprehension! This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided... judgment of mortals by a god!

The cold calculation on Wang Yan's face froze completely.

He stared blankly at Huo Yuhao, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling like a sieve, then looked at the white-clad youth who had not moved an inch from beginning to end. A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his scalp!

Mental backlash?

No! That was not it!

Even mental backlash could never produce such a horrifying result!

This was not a clash of spiritual power at all!

This was... suppression by a higher-dimensional... bloodline! Suppression of rank!

In that instant, even he, a Soul Emperor, felt a shudder rising from the depths of his soul!

Bang.

Huo Yuhao's body finally gave out. He toppled stiffly forward and passed out in his own puddle of urine.

In the final moment before his consciousness sank completely into darkness, nothing remained in his mind but endless humiliation and overwhelming hatred!

The image of himself kneeling before ten thousand people, the uncontrollable incontinence, that gaze filled with utmost contempt... they were like the most vicious brand, forever carved into the deepest part of his soul!

I want you dead!

I will make you die!!!

This hatred, pure to the extreme, seemed to pierce through the barriers between planes.

In the distant Divine Realm, a lonely star wrapped in endless black mist and bloody light seemed to sense this newly born, pure malice. It flickered ever so slightly.

On the Soul Fighting Platform, Yu Chen finally withdrew his gaze slowly, as though he had merely driven away a noisy fly. He frowned faintly.

"Disgusting."

He rose to his feet, seemingly unwilling to remain in this defiled place for even another second.

And while everyone was still immersed in that shocking scene, Wang Dong'er's beautiful face, in one corner of the audience, showed neither sympathy nor shock.

As she watched Huo Yuhao lying unconscious on the platform and took in that miserable sight, she not only felt no sadness for a "classmate," but instead found it... perfectly natural.

As though it was simply the most correct law of heaven and earth for the weak to kneel beneath the majesty of the strong.

She herself did not notice the faint curve at the corner of her lips, carrying a trace of appreciation and admiration.

Meanwhile, in the VIP seats on the other side.

Boom!

After a brief, deathly silence, the others of the Shrek Preparatory Team erupted!

"Huo Yuhao!"

"Bastard! What did you do to him?!"

The door to the VIP box was violently shoved open from within, slamming into the wall with a bang.

Led by Bei Bei, the members of the Shrek Preparatory Team strode out with faces as dark as water. Nearly tangible fury burned across every one of their faces.

Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao's eyes had already reddened. They stared fixedly at the figure lying unconscious amid filth on the platform, feeling both heartache and humiliation.

The usual carefree look on Xu Sanshi's face had been replaced by icy killing intent. His fists clenched so tightly that they cracked.

And Bei Bei, walking at the front, looked even worse.

As the team's senior brother and an heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had never suffered such bone-deep humiliation!

This was not merely directed at Huo Yuhao. It was stomping Shrek Academy's dignity beneath its feet and crushing it viciously!

It was as if Yu Chen had eyes in the back of his head, yet he could not even be bothered to turn around. He stepped off the platform with unhurried composure, as though he had merely finished some trivial task and was preparing to leave.

That disregard emanating from his very bones completely ignited the powder keg in the hearts of the Shrek group.

"You've gone too far!"

A clear, tearful cry of rebuke rang out!

Xiao Xiao could no longer hold herself back. She dashed to the front in a single stride and pointed her slender finger at Yu Chen's back from afar. Her eyes shone especially brightly through her anger and tears, while her body trembled faintly with emotion.

In the absolute silence, that accusation rang clearly through the entire arena.

The gazes of all the spectators instantly focused on the group of young men and women who had suddenly rushed out.

Shrek!

They recognized those uniforms!

So... the people involved had come looking for him?!

The atmosphere turned tense to the extreme in an instant!

Yu Chen finally paused. He slowly turned sideways, but his gaze did not fall on the agitated Xiao Xiao. Instead, it passed over her and landed on the young man behind her with the gravest expression—Bei Bei.

"Too far?"

A faint, mocking smile curled Yu Chen's lips. His gaze was like that of someone watching a group of unruly children make a scene.

"If your skills are inferior, then you should have the awareness that your skills are inferior. If you can't even endure this little humiliation, why come out and make a fool of yourselves?"
