Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is his current main Martial Soul. As Control System Martial Soul, his current Soul Skill are somewhat lacking in attack power.

Even so, Huo Yuhao still had no intention of using the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.

After all, he is not only a Soul Ancestor, but also a Level 4 Soul Engineer.

Although Huo Yuhao studied in the Sun Moon Academy's Soul Master class, as Kong Deming's personal disciple, he was the only student who cultivated both Soul Master and Soul Engineer skills.

In the blink of an eye, as Dai Huabin was still reeling from missing his target, Huo Yuhao's counterattack had already begun!

His true form appeared like Gui Mei behind Dai Huabin, and in his hand he had somehow already grasped a Soul Guidance Ray Gun that shimmered with a cold, silver light.

The gun has sleek lines, and its core radiates dangerous energy fluctuations; it's a Level 5 Paralysis Ray Gun!

Huo Yuhao knew very well that it would be unwise to confront Dai Huabin -on, who had been strengthened by three amplified Soul Skill and was now in a state approaching that of Soul Emperor.

However, no matter how strong Dai Huabin's defense is, as long as he is hit by this level 5 paralysis energy ray, his nervous system will inevitably be severely disturbed, resulting in a brief period of stiffness.

This brief opening was enough for Huo Yuhao to do many things.

However, as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Huabin underwent rigorous training from a young age, and his combat talent and on-the-spot reaction are indeed not to be underestimated.

The moment he realized his attack had missed, a strong sense of crisis washed over him like ice water, sending a shiver down his spine.

Although he couldn't predict attacks through Spiritual Detection like Huo Yuhao, his rich combat experience gave him an almost beast-like intuition!

"We can't stay still!"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Dai Huabin almost instinctively suppressed the surging blood and qi caused by excessive force, suddenly exerted his core strength, and his strong body displayed a flexibility that did not match his size. He forcefully completed a rapid lateral twist in mid-air, like a startled white tiger pouncing to the side!

"Call out!!!"

Just as Dai Huabin shifted his body to the side, a slender, yet terrifyingly powerful, silvery-white ray of light shot past the spot where his shoulder had just been!

The ray struck the ground in the distance without a loud bang, leaving only a faint arc of electricity flickering.

A difference of only a fraction!

Despite missing his target, Huo Yuhao showed no sign of discouragement or surprise, as if it were all part of his plan.

If Dai Huabin can't even dodge this, then he doesn't deserve to be the first real opponent on my path to revenge.

Having narrowly escaped the deadly paralyzing ray, Dai Huabin breathed a sigh of relief, but a cold sweat had already broken out on his back.

His initial slight disdain for Huo Yuhao due to his superior cultivation level had vanished, and he now regarded Huo Yuhao with unprecedented importance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Huabin exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly, trying to create distance between himself and Huo Yuhao.

When it's impossible to pinpoint the opponent's exact location, maintaining distance and remaining still is the safest option.

At the same time, his sharp tiger eyes, like searchlights, rapidly scanned every corner of the Soul Fighting Arena, trying to find Huo Yuhao's true location.

However, what weighed even heavier on his heart was that Huo Yuhao was gone!

In his field of vision, and in the eyes of most of the audience present, Huo Yuhao seemed to have vanished into thin air!

In the entire Soul Fighting Arena, apart from his own three-meter-tall, white tiger-like figure, there was no one else to be seen.

Alarm bells rang in Dai Huabin's mind, and a chilling feeling arose in him, as if he were prey being targeted by a hunter.

His muscles were taut, and his Soul Power permeated his entire body, making him like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

This situation, where the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, made him extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shout angrily, " Huo Yuhao! If you have the guts, come out and fight! Didn't you want to challenge me? Hiding and sneaking around like this, what kind of skill is that?!"

His voice echoed in the empty Soul Fighting Arena, attempting to provoke Huo Yuhao into showing himself.

However, what responded to him was not Huo Yuhao's figure, but words that seemed to come from all directions, as if simultaneously from every inch of air, carrying a hint of cold echo.

" Dai Huabin, you seem to have misunderstood something."

"I am Spiritual System Soul Master; concealment, interference, manipulation... these are simply part of my abilities."

"Instead of trying to provoke me out with this clumsy tactic, you should save your energy and think carefully about how to deal with my next attack."

The voice was elusive and its source was impossible to determine through sound alone. Instead, it seemed more like a direct transmission on a spiritual level, carrying a sense of condescending mockery and control.

In the original novel, although Huo Yuhao also cultivated both Soul Master and Soul Engineer techniques, his methods as Soul Master played a dominant role.

Under Shrek Academy's tutelage, Huo Yuhao's fighting style was not significantly different from that of traditional Soul Master.

However, Huo Yuhao, who has grown up in the Sun Moon Empire, has a different fighting style.

Without using the Ice Jade Scorpion, Power Attack System Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul only serves as a support and control tool; his true killing move is the Soul Tool.

This assassin tactic, which utilizes Simulation Soul Skill and Divine Power far exceeding that of the opponent to conceal one's presence, is a killing move that Huo Yuhao has developed by combining his own abilities!

Dai Huabin's face turned extremely ugly. He knew that Huo Yuhao was right; it was indeed naive to ask the other side to abandon their own advantages and fight head-on.

But at this moment, he had all the strength in him, yet it felt like he was punching cotton. This frustrating feeling of having nowhere to exert force almost drove him mad.

Dai Huabin's breathing became heavy, and his chest heaved violently with anger and suffocation.

The pressure of the enemy being in the dark while he was in the light was like an invisible shackle, making him, who was used to crushing his opponents with strength, feel more irritable and uneasy than ever before.

His strength and speed, which he was so proud of, seemed to have lost their purpose at this moment.

This can't go on!

A fierce glint flashed in Dai Huabin's eyes, and he made the most direct decision, one that was most in line with his personality.

If we can't find it, then we'll overwrite everything!

" Huo Yuhao, come out here!"

He roared, and the deep purple Fourth Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!

A surge of Soul Power erupted like a volcanic eruption, condensing behind him into countless dazzling white orbs of light, each containing explosive energy and radiating a heart-palpitating aura.

Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Meteor Shower!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

As Dai Huabin thrust his palms forward, dozens or even hundreds of white orbs of light, like a meteor shower tearing through the night sky, bombarded every corner of the Soul Fighting Arena with a shrill sound!

The light was blinding, and the energy was rampant, covering almost the entire area of the field, leaving no room for maneuver!

This is Dai Huabin's tactic: simple, brutal, yet extremely effective!

He will use overwhelming force to force the hidden rat out of the shadows, or to severely injure it!

A gasp rippled through the audience; many were holding their breath for Huo Yuhao.

Under such a dense barrage, unless one possesses absolute defense or extreme speed, it is virtually impossible to escape unscathed.

However, faced with this overwhelming, White Tiger Meteor Shower, Huo Yuhao, in his concealed state, merely let out a cold snort on a mental level.

Under his Spiritual Detection, what was falling from the sky was not an inescapable rain of death, but a crystal-clear three-dimensional network woven from countless Soul Power trajectories, energy landing points, and explosion ranges.

The speed, trajectory, and even the intensity of energy of each meteor are as clear as the lines on the palm of one's hand.

Just as the first meteor was about to hit the ground, Huo Yuhao moved!

More than ten Soul Tool Thruster all over his body—shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles—simultaneously lit up with a ghostly blue light!

These small and sophisticated Soul Tool provided him with instantaneous, multi-angle explosive thrust!

His figure transformed into a blurry, elusive Gui Mei at that moment!

There was no grand spectacle, no dazzling lights and shadows, only an art of evasion that was extremely precise and chillingly calm.

The bombardment lasted for more than ten seconds. When the last meteor exploded, the energy aftershocks slowly dissipated, and the smoke and dust gradually settled.

In the center of the Soul Fighting Arena, there was a scene of devastation, with the ground covered in craters and charred marks.

Dai Huabin was panting heavily, his gaze fixed intently on the scene.

But Huo Yuhao was still nowhere to be seen!

Just then, Huo Yuhao's calm voice came from all directions once again.

"Your attack is over?"

"Well then, it's my turn next."
