A Look

Xie Xie felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and a powerful impact sent him flying several meters, rolling several times on the ground before he staggered to his feet. Looking up, he saw a cracked earthen wall that Yu Longheng had pierced through in front of him.

Xie Xie swallowed hard, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

Holy crap, he was so close! He was about to get hit in the face by Lightning Fist. If it weren't for this earthen wall, he would be finished.

Wait, an earthen wall?

Xie Xie's eyes lit up as he looked around the corner.

When Yu Longheng saw his attack blocked, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his indifferent expression and turned to look at the corner, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"It's good to see you again so soon. You really are Soul Masters from Eastsea City. I didn't have a chance to say hello on the Soul Tool Train. My name is Yu Longheng."

Huo Yuhao, who had come from the street with Gu Yuena, glanced at him but ignored him, only looking at Xie Xie, "Are you alright?"

Covered in dust, Xie Xie nodded with lingering fear. "I'm alright, Sister Na acted very quickly. Of course, it would have been even better if she could have used Wind Element to reduce the impact."

"You dare make demands?" Gu Yuena sneered. "Next time, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

"No, I just have a sharp tongue, it just came out unconsciously." Xie Xie quickly shook his head.

Huo Yuhao glanced around and reminded him, "Don't be so impulsive next time. Make sure you understand the difference in strength before you enter the fray."

Although he arrived later, he only needed to glance at the scene to get a general understanding of the situation.

Shrek Academy's assessment... well, how should I put it? At least these two didn't storm into the Spirit Pagoda's enforcement area, which is already quite rational, right?

"Okay," Xie Xie said with an awkward smile, "I understand."

Boss Yuhao reprimanded someone in a calm tone, it inexplicably gave one a feeling of not daring to disobey.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao ignored him, Yu Longheng narrowed his eyes.

"Young man, I've already introduced myself, shouldn't you say something?"

"You almost killed me just now, and now you expect us to be nice to you?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie glared fiercely at Yu Longheng, his eyes practically spitting fire. "How utterly unreasonable!"

"I meant no harm, I just didn't want to cause trouble. I held back when I attacked, so I didn't hurt you."

Yu Longheng remained unmoved, his expression unchanged. "Even if no one stops you, you won't get hurt."

This attitude infuriated Xie Xie even more. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up and have a physical argument with the other party, but considering the difference in strength between the two sides, he held back.

"So what if you've trained a few more years? If I had the same amount of time, I might not lose to you!"

Yu Longheng glanced at Xie Xie indifferently, then looked away.

Just a child around ten years old who hasn't yet experienced the malice of the world.

This world has never been fair. The other party was born in the Eastsea, while he was born in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Their innate experiences were worlds apart.

Entering the Spirit Pagoda won't bridge the gap between them; it will only widen. Once he enters the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and obtains the Immortal Herb Soul Spirit, that will be his time to soar.

"Long Heng, shouldn't we go?" Ning Yue frowned slightly, not wanting to stay any longer, and whispered, "Let's leave quickly while they forget to look for the Law Enforcement Team."

Yu Longheng nodded upon hearing this.

Ning Yue felt a little relieved and turned to leave, but Yu Longheng, who was beside her, glanced in Huo Yuhao's direction again. After weighing his options, he was Entanglement in lightning and suddenly unleashed a powerful Dragon Might.

Judging from the current situation, this blue-eyed youth is also a member of the Spirit Pagoda. He even traveled with Titled Douluo before, indicating a powerful background. He probably won't have such a good opportunity again in the future, so he wants to take advantage of this moment to test him.

Experience firsthand the difference between him and Huo Yuhao in terms of Martial Soul!

Huo Yuhao was initially looking at the middle-aged man in the corner with some surprise, but sensing the provocation from Yu Longheng, he looked up at him and a glint of silver light flashed in his eyes.

In that split second, Yu Longheng suddenly felt an indescribable fear welling up from the depths of his heart.

The lightning around him was still roaring and the purple lightning was still dancing wildly, but his body was frozen— Huo Yuhao's seemingly casual glance made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Deep within those icy blue eyes lurked something beyond reason; merely being gazed upon made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline within him tremble instinctively.

"What... is this?" Yu Longheng's pupils trembled slightly, and his throat tightened.

How could this be? Why would I be afraid?

He was filled with confusion, but a real sense of fear washed over him. His heart felt like it was being clenched, and his blood was trembling.

He had never felt such pressure before!

--It wasn't a crushing defeat in terms of Soul Power, but an absolute suppression of the essence of bloodline! It was like a young dragon facing an ancient true dragon, unable to even muster the thought of resistance or fighting.

Ning Yue noticed his unusual behavior and quickly grabbed his arm. "Long Heng? What's wrong?"

But Yu Longheng did not answer. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, the dragon blood within him surged wildly, and his own soul seemed to urge him to submit, or perhaps warn him—run!

Only after Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze did the suffocating pressure slowly dissipate. Yu Longheng gasped for breath, as if he had just surfaced from the deep sea. His back was soaked with cold sweat, and he slumped weakly to the ground, utterly disheveled.

When Ning Yue saw Huo Yuhao's calm gaze turn to her again, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her whole body tensed up. All the confidence she had as a genius of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect vanished from her heart at that moment.

She quickly lowered her head, staring intently at the ground as if there was something worth studying there. She even breathed very softly, afraid of attracting Huo Yuhao's attention and ending up like Yu Longheng.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao said, "You two have repeatedly attacked members of the Spirit Pagoda near the Spirit Pagoda. Why don't you come with us?"

Simple bloodline pressure is passive. He just used Bloodline Power as the foundation and Divine Power as the carrier to form soul pressure, attacking a person's will, bloodline, and soul in an all-round way. This is his first step in trying to integrate Bloodline Power with Divine Power, and the effect seems to be acceptable.

Xie Xie blinked, watching Yu Longheng and Ning Yue, who had just been calm and composed, change their expressions. The former even looked exhausted. He felt that most of his resentment had vanished instantly, and he burst into laughter.

You guys just got a glance from Boss Yuhao, how did you go weak?

This guy is even worse than me!

Boss Huo, you're awesome!

"Boss Yuhao, why don't we just notify the Law Enforcement Team? It's not far anyway."

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Okay."

Xie Xie smiled and picked up the Soul Guidance Screen. He found a familiar Law Enforcement Team leader and explained the situation to him.

You think you can just leave after hitting someone?

We invite you to have tea at the Spirit Pagoda.

Yu Longheng and Ning Yue's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly, but the former just stared intently at Huo Yuhao, recalling Xie Xie of addressing him.

Boss Yuhao?

Yuhao... Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao, ranked eighth on the Young Genius List!

The name exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt. As a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Longheng certainly knew the weight of this list. Those who could make it into the top ten were all monsters among monsters.

He himself is now the 19th.

However, even among the top ten monsters, Huo Yuhao's information seemed very unusual.

The opponent was nine years old when he made the list, and had already reached the Soul Elder level. His cultivation Jue Chen, and even his Side Profession had reached level three.

Many people speculate that he might be an "old-era Soul Engineer" who cultivates by consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and elixirs, but Martial Soul and Martial Soul abilities are lacking.

Even he used to think that way, but now it seems...

Yu Longheng clenched his fist, his fingernails drawing white lines on the ground.

He had never felt so humiliated—as the heir to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had lost his fighting spirit because of a single glance from his opponent!
