A cold light flashed across Xu Tianranâs eyes. He shut his eyes and didnât speak further. Ju Zi felt a chill run down her spine. He wasnât being generous! It was only because Jing Hongchen and his Illustrious Virtue Hall were still useful, and thus Xu Tianran wasnât willing to offend him, so he tolerated the defeat. Xu Tianran was too scaryâŠ

The Ming Yue Hotel...
Wang Dongâer retracted her left hand and asked curiously, âTell me, what happened?â
Huo Yuhao knew that he couldnât hide things any further, and revealed how he was able to form a martial soul fusion skill with Wang Qiuâer. He also recounted how he was able to unleash the Dragon Roar of Destiny.
After hearing his recounting of events, Wang Dongâer was in a daze. It was too much of a coincidence. Not only did Wang Qiuâer look identical to her, but she could also form a fusion skill with Huo Yuhao.
âHmph!â Wang Dongâer snorted furiously and jumped off from the bed.
âDongâer, I was in the wrong,â Huo Yuhao said submissively.
An amused look flashed across Wang Dongâerâs eyes, but she placed her hands on her hips before furiously saying, âDo you know why you were in the wrong?â
Huo Yuhao was clever. âI know. I shouldnât have kept the truth from you. I was only afraid that youâd misunderstand, thatâs why I didnât tell you anything. However, my Dongâer is such a magnanimous person. Why would she be bothered about something as trivial as this? Iâm the coward who made you angry. Iâm in the wrong. I understand my mistake now. Dongâer, forgive me. Donât worry, my heart is only for you. Honestly speaking, I also felt very weird when I found out I could form a martial soul fusion skill with her. I was even more curious about her background. However, Iâm still unable to see anything. I can only feel that she doesnât have any ill intentions.â
Wang Dongâer laughed coldly. âOf course she doesnât have any ill intentions. She only has love for you.â
He promptly broke out coughing at her words.
Wang Dongâer thought for a moment before saying, âTo prevent you from âcommitting an offenseâ, Iâll forbid you from interacting with Wang Qiuâer alone. If thereâs anything you want to talk to her about, I must be by your side. Do you understand?â
âYes, Your Majesty,â Huo Yuhao quickly agreed with a sincere look on his face.
Wang Dongâer returned to the bed and sat beside him. âYuhao, you must know that Iâm not jealous. Itâs just that your body isnât in good shape, but you are still working so hard. Itâs better to be involved in fewer matters. Am I right?â
âYes, youâre right. Youâre right.â He could only agree with her now.
Wang Dongâer sighed and said, âSeeing that youâve been performing well recently, I wanted to accompany you to sleep tonight. However, Iâm hurt because youâve been lying to me for so long. Your punishment will be that youâll continue to sleep alone on the bed. Iâll sleep on the sofa.â
ââŠâŠâ
âAlright, go and cultivate. You still need to compete in the round of six in the soul engineering tournament tonight. Iâm afraid your opponent will be difficult to deal with. Howâs your injury?â Wang Dongâer stopped joking and asked worriedly.
Huo Yuhao replied, âDonât worry, my body is different from a normal personâs. With the immense life power of the Life Gold, this injury is nothing. Iâll be able to recover by tonight. Protect me. Iâll start cultivating now.â
Although Shrek Academy had won the match today, Huo Yuhao seemed to feel more inhibited. He felt that the tournament was getting more and more complex. However, there werenât any clues on the surface.
The Starlight Sapphire ring on his right hand shone, and a porcelain jug appeared in his hand. It contained the distillate that he had bought from the bar the other day.
Wang Dongâer retreated to a sofa at the side, watching him.
After he opened the jug, a strong alcoholic smell drifted out. The distillate was very strong, and had not been blended yet. An ordinary person would be drunk after two sips of it.
A dim icy fog spread out from Huo Yuhaoâs body. He placed the jug to one side and quickly stripped, revealing his muscles. The surface of his skin was already covered with icy fog. The image of the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion surfaced behind his back. It was a sign that he had unleashed his second martial soul.
He grabbed the jug again and quickly swallowed the distillate as if he were a whale. Every time he stopped to breathe, his skin would shine with a dim red glow. It was a stark contrast to the icy fog around him.
He quickly circulated his soul power, and a dim golden glow appeared. His immense spiritual power enabled him to accurately circulate his soul power, and under that precise control, his soul power started to initiate the catalytic effects of the distillate. He circulated his soul power according to the method of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
A streak of azure light flashed past his brow. A small yet shiny and transparent azure-green carving blade flew out. It surrounded Huo Yuhaoâs body and drifted above his head after making a circuit around him. A green aura descended and fused with Huo Yuhaoâs body. It was the Life Guardianâs Blade!
With the strong life power of the blade and the catalytic effects of the distillate, Huo Yuhao started to fuse with the origin energy of Ultimate Ice at a much faster rate. Although he wasnât able to move, his soul power was increasing at a faster rate than before. In addition, the speed at which he absorbed the origin energy increased as his soul power grew. His confidence in his cultivation also grew as a result.
Wang Dongâer seemed to be immersed in her thoughts as she looked at Huo Yuhao. She revealed a slight smile on her face. Heâs really getting stronger and stronger. Ah, Wang Qiuâer, you are really a huge headache! Sheâs also so nice to him. I must watch this fool properlyâŠ

Night fell, and four figures appeared in a dark corner as usual.
He Caitou lowered his voice and asked, âYuhao, our opponents tonight wonât be easy to deal with. Must we win orâŠ?â
Huo Yuhao replied, âSecond senior, you are Tang Si and Iâm Tang Wu now. You should call me second brother. We canât make any mistakes now. We must win tonight! Use some of your true abilities. The rare metals that we can potentially win tonight canât be bought with money, and the Tang Sect needs them. After we reach the round of three, we can compete against the other two underground organizations. Itâs a pity that we canât bet with rare metals or it would be even better. Letâs make a huge wager tonight, and win more money first.â
Huo Yuhao had already amassed more than twenty million gold soul coins after winning his previous rounds. The amount of money he had was enough to equip an army of ten thousand soldiers. However, twenty million gold soul coins was nothing in the world of soul engineers. Soul engineering was a profession that burned a lot of money. Creating a successful soul tool was very lucrative, but how many soul engineers had a close to hundred percent success rate like Huo Yuhao? That was why some strong soul engineers often created soul tools of lower classes to exchange for money to sustain their daily expenses. It was also why soul engineering sects were very cautious when they accepted disciples, and why the Illustrious Virtue Hall was so respected. Without the support of an empire, there wasnât any way soul engineers who engaged in elite and advanced research could survive!

At the familiar Green Hotel, Chen An was waiting at the entrance since he was no longer a judge. As Huo Yuhao and He Caitou advanced further and further in the tournament, his attitude was becoming ever more respectful.
âYoung Tang masters, quick. Letâs enter.â Chen An immediately went up to receive Huo Yuhao as soon as he saw him, a fawning look on his face.
Huo Yuhao passed all his gold soul coins to him and said, âDivide it into two and stake each half on my brother and me.â
âSecond master, weâve not started the lot drawing. YouâŠâ Chen An roughly knew how many gold soul coins Huo Yuhao had. He was a little hesitant, as it would be quite a huge bet. Even the most distinguished guests in the Golden Hall didnât bet so much. Furthermore, he didnât even know his opponent yet, and the last six competitors left were all very strong.
Huo Yuhao smiled and replied, âNo worries. If I didnât even have this little confidence, I wouldnât be here at all. You can use it to bet. Iâm confident.â
âYes!â Chen An acknowledged his words respectfully.
âWe donât have to rush to enter. Howâs the matter I asked you to settle?â Huo Yuhao asked.
Chen An appeared to be in a spot and said, âItâs indeed a little difficult to buy rare metals now. Although we have some channels to purchase rare metals, you must know that the three underground organizations are organizing their own tournament. Rare metals are being used in great amounts in these tournaments, and a huge batch of them is being used as rewards for the participating soul engineers. The control on rare metals has become very strict, soâŠâ
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly. âThatâs is your problem. Donât bother explaining it to me. I only want to see the results. If you do this well, Iâll promote you from Class 5 to Class 6, and from five rings to six rings.â
âWhat?â Chen An was stunned after hearing his words. He seemed a little doubtful.
âWhy? Donât you believe me?â Huo Yuhao glanced at him coldly.
âI believe, I believe!â Chen An hurriedly nodded.
Huo Yuhao said, âAlthough Iâm a domineering person, Iâm never stingy towards those who help me. Give me your hand. Iâll let you feel it for a while.â
Chen An was dazed for a moment, and extended his right hand.
Huo Yuhao used three fingers to feel his pulse. Suddenly, Chen An felt a wave of pure soul power transferring into his body from Huo Yuhaoâs fingertip. This wave of soul power wasnât very strong, but it was extremely pure. There didnât even seem to be any elements present, but it contained vibrant life power.
Suddenly, Chen An felt the pores on his body opening up. His blood was surging, and he instantly felt much younger. He was even more astonished to realize that his soul power was undulating rapidly after the pure soul power entered his body. He could feel his own soul power being enhanced, it was too obvious. In addition, he didnât sense any evil aura from it!
