Cheats Take the Stage-No Cheat, No Entry!

Elsewhere, Huo Yuhao, a cheat through and through, finally felt the frustration of facing another cheat—and finding his own fell short.

Just as Jin Ruir was about to hit the ground, a bloodstained figure in black appeared where she would land and caught her with one arm.

Whatever else, Jin Ruir had come here because of him.

She had come to help him. However cold and ruthless Huo Yuhao might be, he could not stand by and let her suffer such a devastating blow.

"We won! We won, Gu Yue... We really beat Senior Yuhao!"

Tang Wulin trembled with excitement, tears streaming down his face as he took Gu Yue's hand and jumped up and down.

His teammate could counter Senior Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power.

His own strength could counter Senior Huo Yuhao's teammate.

The odds were firmly in their favor.

Victory was almost within reach.

Seeing Tang Wulin's delighted smile, Gu Yuena caught his joy, and a rare smile appeared on her face too.

In midair, Jin Ruir watched Huo Yuhao hold her as they plunged toward the ground. Unwillingness showed on her face, and her lips trembled.

"Are we... really going to lose?"

Everyone across the Three Realms watching the Heavenly Screen comparison erupted at the sight.

"Good grief! A grand stage for cheats—no cheat, no entry!"

"I thought Huo Yuhao's cheats were already outrageous beyond belief. Turns out the most unassuming era had the most absurd cheats of all!!"

"I don't agree with you! If Huo Yuhao hadn't cheated so brazenly that he got banned from competing, the outcome would still be anyone's guess!!!"

Everyone from the Douluo I Era was dumbfounded. Their representatives had lost both matches early, losing the comparison, while the representatives of Douluo II and Douluo III stole the show across the Heavenly Screen.

"Heh. Hahahaha!"

"This world truly has no shortage of extraordinary talents!!"

"Frankly, against you two, I've nearly exhausted my trump cards, yet I still haven't managed to overcome you!!!"

Holding Jin Ruir, Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head.

Meanwhile, inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea...

"It's over, it's over! Yuhao, concede. Let's avoid them for now. Even if you overcome her Spiritual Power, the strength she holds is absolutely beyond us as we are."

A dazzling green light suddenly burst through the Spiritual Sea.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was kicked aside.

"You want me to back down from him?"

Furious, the Ice Empress looked at Huo Yuhao, stifled by frustration. His Spiritual Power was countered, and so was his strength. He had already lost more than half the battle.

But had he truly lost?

The Ice Empress said nothing more. She simply kept urging Huo Yuhao to use the Heaven-Rank Soul Skill Possession!

"Lose?"

"That word isn't in my dictionary!!"

"Third Martial Soul—Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!!!"

Bzzzt!!!

A dazzling green light flared behind Huo Yuhao.

In an instant, the entire battle space plunged into boundless cold at absolute zero.

Below the Arena, Tang San's lips trembled, flecks of frost clinging to his eyelashes.

"Old Tang! Old Tang, save me!"

Within the Spiritual Sea, a blue figure bathed in the Sea God's Light looked at his now-weak original self. His fear of him dwindled again and again, and a daring idea slowly began to take root.

On the Arena...

Huo Yuhao gently set Jin Ruir down and stepped in front of her. His figure flickered from place to place, and dazzling green light erupted from his eyes.

This time, Huo Yuhao neither dodged nor retreated. His figure flashed forward against the tide, charging into the Spiritual Power of the Silver Dragon King and the Dragon God's Power, straight between the two of them.

Huo Yuhao's left leg froze in an instant, and a frozen green scorpion tail slowly emerged from his tailbone.

The moment he appeared between Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength shattered the Heavenly Screen Arena beneath his feet. A giant scorpion materialized behind him.

Bzzzt!!!

"Aaargh!!!"

With that roar, an enormous blood-red Soul Ring blazed into view, bearing four markings.

"Ice Emperor's Wrath · Eternal Frozen Domain!!!"

A terrifying wave of Ultimate Ice surged outward from Huo Yuhao in every direction.

"This is bad!"

"Wulin, get back!!"

The instant Gu Yuena sensed the wave of cold, her expression changed drastically.

Not far away, Tang Wulin had been creeping toward Huo Yuhao, preparing to strike his back with a Golden Dragon Claw. His body suddenly stiffened.

In the next instant, the cold swept across the entire Heavenly Screen Arena, freezing Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena into ice sculptures.

"It's over!"

The Ice Empress's voice rang through Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea, irritated and faintly angry.

Everything on the Heavenly Screen Arena was frozen. The Ice Empress had even frozen Jin Ruir without the slightest consideration.

Huu...

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh as his consciousness returned to his body.

He turned to look at Gu Yuena.

Huo Yuhao was not worried about the Ultimate Ice of the Far North. It was like a stern father to him; he had spent ten thousand years sealed in ice there.

His only concern was Gu Yuena. If she threw fairness aside and used her own power, Huo Yuhao would have no choice but to ask his teacher to possess him.

Bzzzt!!!

Nine-colored light erupted from Gu Yuena's frozen body.

The moment that power appeared, Huo Yuhao lost consciousness for two and a half seconds.

"Little Silver Dragon, still unwilling to give up?"

"Or do you want to test the difference between our strengths?"

The moment Electrolux's Martial Soul appeared behind Huo Yuhao, the nine-colored elemental power fell silent.

"How is this possible? How? Weren't you... disqualified?"

Electrolux shrugged indifferently.

"You actually believed that?"

"I can stand aside when my disciple competes with his peers. If he loses, it only means I haven't taught him well."

"But if you intend to use your age and numbers to bully him, then sorry—my Undead Magic and my soul will speak for my disciple."

Gu Yuena still refused to accept it.

"What level is your power? Demigod? Divine Official? Third-Level God? Second-Level God? Or First-Level God?"

Electrolux said nothing.

"With the sun and moon in my hands, I pluck the stars from the heavens!"

"Your power may indeed be formidable in this world, but your level is too low. You could never understand the state I'm in now!!"

"I am the one and only being forged by an entire age!!!"

Electrolux's words ended the contest in an instant. Gu Yuena's pupils shook violently and contracted.

Even though she had estimated Electrolux's strength as highly as she could, imagining him at the very peak of what she thought possible, she still had not guessed the true extent of his power.

Those words—"With the sun and moon in my hands, I pluck the stars from the heavens"—had already made it clear that Electrolux's cultivation system and level of power were beyond anything she could compare herself to.

"I... I understand."

The nine-colored elemental power fell silent, then slowly withdrew. Gu Yuena did not take the gamble. She did not gamble on whether Electrolux had told the truth.

Even if Electrolux had exaggerated somewhat, even if he had truly possessed such strength at his peak, he was only a soul now. There had to be a gap between his current state and his prime.

Still, she did not gamble.

Of course, that was also because she herself was far from her best.
