Infinity (Bonus Chapter)

Xiao Xiao summoned her Martial Soul.

A massive bronze cauldron etched with black inscriptions abruptly appeared in the air.

Wang Dong activated Martial Soul Possession. Two pairs of beautiful, shimmering butterfly wings fluttered gently as she danced through the air.

In contrast, Huo Yuhao stood with his hands in his pockets, looking utterly unconcerned.

Unable to hold back, Xiao Xiao reminded him, "Brother Yuhao, we're about to attack."

"Ah..." Huo Yuhao yawned. "If you're fighting, hurry up. Don't waste time. I still need to go fishing later."

Wang Dong crossed her arms in the air. "This guy still loves showing off as much as ever. I'll attack first; you restrain him from the side and support me."

So handsome, so carefree, so full of personality!

The moment she finished speaking, Wang Dong's body became a blur as she shot through the air.

"First Soul Skill—Winged Guillotine!"

A hundred-year Soul Ring appeared, and as golden light flashed along both sides of her butterfly wings, they transformed into sharp, razor-edged blades.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With two successive swings, two sharp wing-blades whipped up fierce gusts and stabbed toward Huo Yuhao.

The glowing golden wings stopped forty centimeters away from Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong gritted her teeth and increased her strength.

She could clearly feel her wings pressing forward, yet in reality, they did not move in the slightest.

It was as though an endless void lay before Huo Yuhao.

No matter how strong or fast her attack was, it could never touch Huo Yuhao.

"Xiao Xiao!"

Wang Dong shouted.

Xiao Xiao answered,

"I'm coming!"

Then she waved her hand, and the Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron crashed down.

It smashed viciously toward Huo Yuhao's head.

The shadow of the Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron enveloped Huo Yuhao, but unfortunately, no sound of impact rang out.

The Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron hovered forty centimeters above Huo Yuhao's head.

"Press down!"

Xiao Xiao's little face turned bright red as she strained with all her might.

Yet she still could not make the Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron descend even a single centimeter.

Huo Yuhao said boredly, "Do you have any stronger moves? Bring them all out."

"You..." Wang Dong withdrew her wings and flew higher into the air. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. It's not too late to admit defeat."

As she spoke, her thousand-year second Soul Ring appeared.

Xiao Xiao clenched her small fists. "I'm getting serious too. Brother Yuhao, you'd better be careful."

Two yellow Soul Rings appeared.

"First Soul Skill—Cauldron Tremor!"

The Tripartite Soul-Calming Cauldron unleashed a violent tremor.

A soundwave-like attack surged toward Huo Yuhao like an overwhelming tide.

"Ah..."

Facing the immense force of the tremors, Huo Yuhao lazily yawned.

All the tremor force stopped forty centimeters away from his body.

"I refuse to believe your defense can't be broken!"

"Second Soul Skill—Butterfly God's Light!"

The golden patterns on the butterfly wings sprayed out clusters of tiny orbs of light.

They stopped forty centimeters away.

Wang Dong clenched her right hand and shouted, "Explode!"

Boom! Boom!

All the small orbs exploded, yet the force of the blasts still could not penetrate within forty centimeters of Huo Yuhao.

"How is that possible?"

Wang Dong said in disbelief.

Her second Soul Skill was a thousand-year one.

Even if Huo Yuhao was a Soul Elder, he should not have been able to block it so easily.

"Xiao Xiao, support me! I refuse to believe I can't break your defense!"

"Okay!"

"..."

The two of them launched another fierce assault.

They unleashed Soul Skills as though Soul Power cost nothing.

The result was that both of them exhausted all their Soul Power and were drenched in sweat.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground, propping up his chin with his right hand, looking sleepy.

"Hm?"

When Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao finally stopped, Huo Yuhao woke up. "Are you done?"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt like crying but had no tears.

"Brother Yuhao, you're just too amazing. Xiao Xiao simply can't break your defense."

Xiao Xiao sat on the ground in a duck-sitting posture, her little face flushed red and utterly adorable.

Wang Dong wiped the sweat from her face and asked,

"What Soul Skill is this, exactly? Why can't we break through your defense after attacking for so long?"

Huo Yuhao stood up and said with a smile,

"Simply put, this isn't really a defensive Soul Skill."

"What you attacked was the 'Infinity' between yourselves and me."

"Infinity?"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao looked utterly baffled. The term was clearly beyond their understanding.

Huo Yuhao opened his right hand and waved it. "Come on, hold out your hand."

Seeing Wang Dong hesitate shyly, Huo Yuhao said gently,

"Come on."

Wang Dong blushed and held out her right hand.

But just as it was about to touch his, space underwent a subtle distortion that Wang Dong could not see.

She only felt her hand stop.

Wang Dong said in shock,

"Unable to touch... stopped just inches away?"

"Is this 'Infinity'?"

Huo Yuhao explained with a smile, "Rather than stopping, it would be more accurate to say that the closer you get to me, the slower you become."

"I can still shake hands with you like this."

As he spoke, he placed his palm against Wang Dong's.

Then he bent his fingers and interlocked them with hers.

Wang Dong's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she became unbearably shy.

Xiao Xiao could not stand it anymore and hurried forward to pull Wang Dong away.

"Let go! What kind of behavior is this, two men tugging at each other like that?!"

Wang Dong struggled. "We're conducting an experiment. Stay out of it!"

"No! If anyone is going to experiment with Brother Yuhao, it'll be me!"

"..."

Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and smiled. "So, do you understand now?"

"The distance between you and me is 'Infinity,' but I can easily touch you."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dong said, "So as long as your Soul Power isn't exhausted, no attack can reach you?"

"Bingo!"

Huo Yuhao clapped lightly.

Xiao Xiao said in shock, "Then doesn't that make you invincible, Brother Yuhao?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Wang Dong said seriously, "Even with such an absurd Soul Skill, it only makes his defense invincible. It doesn't make him truly invincible."

"After all, once Yuhao runs out of Soul Power, it won't matter how powerful his Soul Skill is."

Xiao Xiao nodded. "But it's still incredibly powerful. If paired with a long-range Soul Master, one defending and one attacking, it would be ridiculously strong."

"Brother Yuhao, I want to experience what this Soul Skill feels like."

Blushing, Xiao Xiao held out her palm.

Wang Dong stepped in front of Huo Yuhao. "No. We already experimented just now. Now we should be discussing tactics."

Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Does anyone get it? There's a disgusting man here!!"

"You little pervert! You have the nerve to say that about me?!"

"Disgusting man!"

"Little pervert!"

"..."

Huo Yuhao said helplessly from the side, "Two women fighting endlessly over me again."

"My damned charm has nowhere to go!"

God Realm

Heaven-Peering Hall

Fishfork God King Tang San's eyes were filled with greed. "This brat actually possesses such a divine skill. I wonder whether it was recorded somewhere. It would be best if it were hidden in some library."

"Then it would be easier for me to... cough, cough, borrow it for reference."

"I'll help him fix its flaws. For example, its name must be changed to 'Blue Silver Defense'!"

"It would complement my God King skill, 'Blue Silver Entanglement.'"

"It will become a hereditary divine skill of the Tang Clan."

"Hehehehe!!"
