Xiao Xiao summoned her Martial Soul.
A massive bronze cauldron covered in black inscriptions abruptly appeared in the air.
Wang Dong used Martial Soul Possession. Two pairs of beautiful, gleaming butterfly wings gently fluttered as she danced through the air.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had 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 going to fight, hurry up. Don't waste time—I still need to go fishing later."
Wang Dong crossed her arms in midair. "This guy still loves showing off so much. I'll attack first. You restrain him from the side and support me."
So handsome, so carefree, so full of personality!
As soon as 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 emerged, and as golden light flashed along both sides of her butterfly wings, they transformed into sharp, razor-like blades.
Swish! Swish!
She slashed twice in succession, sending two sharp wings slicing toward Huo Yuhao on a fierce gale.
The golden wings stopped forty centimeters away from Huo Yuhao.
Wang Dong gritted her teeth and increased her strength.
She could clearly feel her wings pushing forward, yet in reality, they did not move an inch.
It was as if an endless void lay before Huo Yuhao.
No matter how powerful or fast her attack was, it could never touch Huo Yuhao.
"Xiao Xiao!"
Wang Dong called out.
Xiao Xiao answered,
"I'm coming!"
Then she waved her hand, and the Soul-Calming Cauldron came crashing down.
It smashed fiercely toward Huo Yuhao's head.
The shadow of the Soul-Calming Cauldron engulfed Huo Yuhao, but no sound of impact rang out.
The Soul-Calming Cauldron hovered forty centimeters above Huo Yuhao's head.
"Press down!"
Xiao Xiao's little face flushed red as she exerted every ounce of strength she had.
Yet she still could not make the Soul-Calming Cauldron descend even a centimeter.
Huo Yuhao said lazily, "Got 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 little fists. "I'm getting serious too. Brother Yuhao, you'd better be careful."
Two yellow Soul Rings appeared.
"First Soul Skill—Cauldron Tremor!"
The Soul-Calming Cauldron erupted with a violent tremor.
A soundwave-like attack surged toward Huo Yuhao like an overwhelming tide.
"Ah..."
Faced with the immense force of the tremors, Huo Yuhao lazily yawned.
All the tremor force stopped forty centimeters 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 fired out clusters of tiny light orbs.
They stopped forty centimeters away.
Wang Dong clenched her right hand and shouted, "Explode!"
Boom! Boom!
All the small light orbs exploded, but the blast still could not penetrate the forty-centimeter radius around 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 take it so easily.
"Xiao Xiao, support me! I refuse to believe I can't break your defense!"
"Okay!"
"..."
The two launched another fierce assault.
They unleashed Soul Skills as if Soul Power cost nothing.
As for the result, both of them ran out of Soul Power and were drenched in sweat from exhaustion.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the ground, propping up his chin with his right hand, looking drowsy.
"Hm?"
Once Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stopped, Huo Yuhao woke up. "Are you two done?"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao looked like they were about to cry.
"Brother Yuhao, you're just too amazing. Xiao Xiao couldn't break your defense at all."
Xiao Xiao sat on the ground in a duck-sitting pose, her little face flushed red and exceedingly adorable.
Wang Dong wiped the sweat from her face and asked,
"What Soul Skill is this, exactly? Why couldn'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 you and me."
"Infinity?"
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both looked bewildered. The word 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, come on."
Wang Dong blushed and held out her right hand.
But just as she was about to touch him, space twisted ever so slightly, though Wang Dong could not see it.
She only felt her hand stop.
Wang Dong said in shock,
"I can't touch you—it stopped just inches away?"
"So this is 'Infinity'?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and explained, "Rather than stopping, it would be more accurate to say that the closer something gets to me, the slower it becomes."
"I can still shake hands with you like this."
As he spoke, he pressed his palm against Wang Dong's.
Then he curled his fingers around hers, interlocking them.
Wang Dong's cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she became utterly flustered.
Xiao Xiao could not stand watching any longer and hurried forward to pull Wang Dong away.
"Let go! What kind of behavior is this, two guys pulling and tugging at each other?"
Wang Dong struggled. "We're conducting an experiment. Stop meddling!"
"No! If anyone's experimenting with Brother Yuhao, it should be me!"
"..."
Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and smiled. "So, do you understand now?"
"The distance between you and me is 'Infinity,' yet I can touch you with ease."
After thinking for a moment, Wang Dong said, "So as long as your Soul Power isn't exhausted, no attack can hit you?"
"Bingo!"
Huo Yuhao lightly clapped his hands.
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 overpowered 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. "Still, it's incredibly powerful. If paired with a long-range Soul Master, one defending and one attacking 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 blocked her in front of Huo Yuhao. "No. We already experimented just now. Now we should be discussing tactics."
Xiao Xiao huffed coquettishly. "Does anyone get it? There's such a gross guy here!!"
"You little pervert! You have the nerve to say that about me!"
"Gross guy!"
"Little pervert!"
"..."
Huo Yuhao said helplessly from the side, "Two women fighting endlessly over me again."
"My damned, nowhere-to-place charm!"
God Realm
Heaven-Peering Hall
Fishfork God King Tang San's eyes were filled with greed. "That brat actually possesses such a divine skill. I wonder if it was recorded anywhere. It would be best if it were hidden in some library."
"That way, I could easily steal... ahem, 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.'"
"And become a hereditary divine skill of the Tang Clan."
"Kehehehe!!"
