"You want me to attack?" Huo Yuhao smiled with relief.
Since entering Shrek Academy, he had been invincible among his peers, dominating previous battle. It had been far too long since he last fought with all his might.
Whether it was sparring with Wang Dong or Wu Feng, he had always held back, fearing he might seriously injure them if he wasn't careful. Suppressing the desire to fight was not easy.
But now, standing before him was the perfect sandbag. The itch to fight was unbearable!
As for using his full strength? 'Xu Sanshi, you might as well go to bed and dream.'
Huo Yuhao could now simultaneously wield both of his martial souls at any time.
After his Spirit Eyes had fully evolved, he felt his mastery over the attributes of time and space had significantly improved. Thus, when using his innate skill, Moment, his control was even more precise, allowing him to launch surprise attacks with ease.
Though it might sound exaggerated, during the previous conflict over grilled fish, Huo Yuhao had used Moment to return Xu Sanshi's gold soul coin.
Combined with the innate domain of his Ice Soul Body, if he truly unleashed his full power, even if Xu Sanshi were to awaken the bloodline of a divine beast and evolve his Mystic Deep Turtle martial soul into the Xuanwu martial soul, it would be futile.
Invincible. Truly, it was a lonely existence.
"Be careful!" came a kind reminder.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao's figure vanished, charging straight toward Xu Sanshi. Occasionally, it was good to test one's fists and feet.
The Imitated purple soul ring lit up symbolically, and his forearms seemed to be coated with a dazzling layer of icy crystal.
"First Soul Skill: Ice Empress' Pincer."
This 400,000-year soul ring, due to Huo Yuhao's current limitations, could only unleash the power of a 10,000-year soul skill. Yet, even so, his strength had reached a terrifying level!
Xu Sanshi dared not be careless. Ever since their earlier clash, he had realized the sheer physical power of this junior. Now, with the addition of soul skills, he couldn't afford to hold back.
His first yellow hundred-year soul ring lit up, and the black light on his Mystic Deep Turtle Shield intensified, spreading a powerful black halo outward. The black light covered an area of over ten square meters, resembling a massive air shield pushing outward with a rumbling sound.
"First Soul Skill: Mystic Deep Quake."
This was a ranged shockwave skill with a slight stunning effect. If the opponent's cultivation was inferior, they would be stunned or at least pushed back.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smirk. Without dodging, his body tore through the black air shield like it was rotten wood. A mere hundred-year soul skill was useless against absolute power!
Xu Sanshi stared in shock, his heart pounding. His Mystic Deep Quake, which had always been invincible, was broken so easily? What kind of soul skill was this? It was overwhelmingly powerful! He must be cheating!
Without time to mourn the failure of his Mystic Deep Quake, Xu Sanshi immediately activated his second soul skill: "Mystic Deep Shield Formation!"
"Ah!" With a low roar, the Mystic Deep Turtle Shield split into multiple shields, stacking together for layered defense.
"Boom"
The punch infused with the Ice Empress' Pincer struck the stacked shields head-on, producing a deafening sound. Though it was a simple motion, when executed by Huo Yuhao, it carried the weight of a thousand pounds.
Xu Sanshi was sent sliding backward nearly ten meters before regaining his footing. One punch had knocked him back!
Without giving his opponent a moment to recover, Huo Yuhao launched a relentless barrage of attacks. Punch after punch rained down, sending Xu Sanshi flying like a ragdoll. He struggled to stay upright, like a small boat caught in a storm, powerless to resist.
Huo Yuhao vented his pent-up fighting spirit, feeling a sense of relief and joy. Of course, to avoid killing his opponent outright, these attacks were the simplest and most basic. This wasn't torture—just a lesson.
In the stands Wang Yan rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming he wasn't mistaken, he couldn't help but gasp.
What was this? The icy aura he felt was completely different from the Spirit Eyes martial soul he had sensed earlier in the afternoon. The two were unrelated. Could it be that Huo Yuhao possessed twin martial souls?
The thought sent a shiver of excitement through him.
A body martial soul combined with twin martial souls, along with such an exceptional soul ring configuration, made Huo Yuhao a genius among geniuses! His decision to report this to Master Xuan earlier had been correct. Such a talent couldn't be allowed to slip away to the Body sect.
On the other side, Tang Ya's mouth hung open in shock. "Is this the Spirit Eyes martial soul Yuhao mentioned?"
Beibei, equally stunned, glanced at Xu Sanshi, who was being pummeled without resistance. "It should be… right?" he said uncertainly. But whose Spirit Eyes martial soul was like this?
As Xu Sanshi's close friend, Beibei knew better than anyone how formidable his defense was. With the power of Mystic Deep Turtle martial soul, not even a Soul Elder could easily break through it. And yet, Huo Yuhao had done so effortlessly.
Beibei himself possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the strongest attacking martial soul in the outer courtyard. But even he would struggle to break Xu Sanshi's defense. This was outrageous!
Wang Dong, meanwhile, muttered to herself in regret, "I'm so stupid, really…" If only she had bet more on Huo Yuhao's win. She had underestimated her roommate.
With Huo Yuhao's always calm demeanor, how could have he challenged a soul Elder without any confidence? He must have been fully confident before taking action.
The entire audience was stunned, especially the senior students who had bet on Xu Sanshi.
The lower-grade students might not understand the strength of the Twin Stars of the Outer Academy, but the seniors knew all too well.
They had thought this was a golden opportunity to make money, but instead, Xu Sanshi, their so-called invincible hope, was being utterly crushed.
"Do you deserve our trust, Xu Sanshi?!"
"Refund our money!!"
As for the freshmen who had been drawn by the title of "the strongest freshman," they couldn't help but gulp in awe.
"Not only is he strong, but he's also so handsome. I can't handle it!"
"The title of the strongest? I acknowledge it!"
Some girls, captivated by Huo Yuhao's striking appearance, stared at him with fiery eyes, as if they wanted to devour him on the spot.
"Impossible! How is this possible?!" Xu Sanshi, battered and bruised, shouted in disbelief as he scrambled to escape. His face, swollen and bruised, was a mix of shock, anger, and incredulity, making him look almost comical.
Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and asked calmly, "Huh? Senior Xu, do you still want to continue?" Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, right, Senior Xu, I heard you have a big move which awaken your martial soul's bloodline? Come on, show me. I believe in you!"
"I've been honest! Please let me go!" Xu Sanshi immediately begged for mercy.
Even if his Mystic Deep Turtle Shield evolved into the Xuanwu Shield, he couldn't win. There was no point in continuing this fight. Besides, he couldn't awaken it at will right now.
"Alright," Huo Yuhao relented. Xu Sanshi's martial soul was currently in a state of dormancy. Without sufficient stimulation, even he couldn't break through the seal. And that stimulation? It came from Jiang Nannan.
So, how was he supposed to complete Xu Sanshi's achievement mission, [You Are Nannan and Also Jie]?
Was he supposed to help Xu Sanshi woo Jiang Nannan? That was just absurd…
