Chapter 104

Xie Xie only felt his vision go black; a powerful impact sent him flying several meters, and he rolled several times on the ground before staggering to his feet. He looked up and saw that what was blocking his path was an earthen wall covered in cracks, punched through by Yu Longheng.

Xie Xie swallowed hard, cold sweat breaking out all over his body.

Holy crap, that was close — just a tiny bit more and he would have taken a Lightning Fist to the face. If it weren't for this earthen wall, he'd be done for.

Wait, an earthen wall?

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

Seeing his attack blocked, a trace of surprise also flashed through Yu Longheng's eyes, but he quickly returned to that indifferent expression. He likewise turned his head to look at the corner, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Meeting again so soon. You really are Soul Masters from Donghai City. Didn't get a chance to say hello on the Soul Guidance Train earlier. My name is Yu Longheng."

Huo Yuhao, who had rushed over from the street together with Gu Yue Na, glanced at him, ignored him, and merely looked at Xie Xie. "You okay?"

The dusty, bedraggled Xie Xie nodded with lingering fear. "I'm fine. Na-jie acted just in time. Of course, it would've been even better if you could've used the wind element to lessen the impact a bit."

"Still daring to make demands?" Gu Yue Na snorted coldly. "Next time, handle it yourself."

"Don't, I was just running my mouth, said it subconsciously." Xie Xie hurriedly shook his head.

Huo Yuhao then glanced at the surrounding situation and cautioned, "Next time don't be so impulsive. Assess the strength gap before jumping in."

Although he arrived later, just by looking at the scene he roughly grasped the situation.

Shrek Academy's assessment... hmm, how to put it... these two at least didn't rush into the Spirit Transmission Tower Enforcement Section, so that counts as rational, right?

"Okay." Xie Xie laughed awkwardly. "I understand."

Big Brother Yuhao scolding someone in a calm tone inexplicably gave a feeling of not daring to disobey.

And seeing Huo Yuhao ignore him, Yu Longheng narrowed his eyes.

"This classmate, I just introduced myself. Shouldn't you say something?"

"You almost took my life just now, and now you actually expect us to speak nicely to you?"

Hearing this, Xie Xie instantly glared at Yu Longheng viciously, his eyes practically spitting fire. "Unreasonable!"

"I had no ill intent, just didn't want to cause trouble. I held back just now, so you wouldn't be injured."

Yu Longheng remained unmoved, still with that flat look. "Even if no one had stopped me, you wouldn't have been hurt."

This attitude made Xie Xie even more furious. He gritted his teeth, wanting to rush over and "physically" reason with the other party right then, but thinking of the strength gap between them, he endured it.

"Just a few more years of cultivation, what's so great about that? If you gave me the same time, I might not lose to you!"

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

Just a kid of about ten years old who hasn't felt the world's malice.

This world has never been fair. The other party was born in Donghai, while he came from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan; their innate horizons were worlds apart.

Entering the Spirit Pagoda couldn't bridge the gap between them either; it would only grow larger. Once he enters the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and obtains an Immortal Grass Soul Spirit, that will be his moment to soar.

"Longheng, shouldn't we go?" Ning Yue furrowed her brows slightly, not in the mood to stay here any longer, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "While they've forgotten to call the Enforcement Team, let's hurry and leave."

Yu Longheng nodded upon hearing this.

Ning Yue felt a bit more at ease and turned to leave, but Yu Longheng beside her looked once more in Huo Yuhao's direction, weighed things in his heart, and suddenly erupted with a powerful Dragon Might, lightning coiling around his whole body.

Judging by the current situation, this blue-eyed youth is also a Spirit Pagoda person, and was previously with a Titled Douluo; his background is deep. There probably won't be a good opportunity like now in the future, so he wants to test him now.

Personally experience the gap between him and Huo Yuhao in martial souls!

Huo Yuhao was originally looking at that middle-aged man in the corner with some surprise. Sensing the provocation from Yu Longheng, he raised his head and glanced at him, a trace of silver light flashing in his eyes.

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

The thunder still roared around him, purple lightning dancing wildly, but his body froze — Huo Yuhao's seemingly casual glance made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

In the depths of those ice-blue pupils, it seemed some existence beyond common sense lay dormant; merely being watched made the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon bloodline in his body instinctively tremble.

"This is... what?" Yu Longheng's pupils trembled slightly, his throat tightening.

How is this possible? How could I feel fear?

He was full of confusion, but the fear truly assaulted him. His heart felt as if it were clenched tight, all the blood in his body trembling.

He had never felt such a sense of oppression!

— Not a crushing of soul power, but an absolute suppression at the level of bloodline essence! Like a young dragon facing an ancient true dragon, unable to even raise the thought of resistance or battle.

Ning Yue detected his abnormality and hurriedly grabbed his arm. "Longheng? What's wrong with you?"

But Yu Longheng didn't answer. Cold sweat seeped from his forehead, the dragon blood in his body raging wildly; his own soul seemed to be urging him to submit, yet also warning him — run!

Only when Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze did the suffocating oppression slowly dissipate. Yu Longheng gasped violently, as if he had just surfaced from the deep sea; his back was already soaked in cold sweat, and he slumped powerlessly to the ground in a sorry state.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm gaze turn toward her, Ning Yue felt a chill crawl up her spine; her whole body suddenly tensed, and the confidence she had as a genius of the Nine Treasures Liuli Sect vanished from her heart in that instant.

She hurriedly lowered her head, staring fixedly at the ground as if there were something worth studying there, even her breathing becoming extremely light, afraid of attracting Huo Yuhao's attention and ending up like Yu Longheng.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao said: "Repeatedly attacking Spirit Pagoda members near the Spirit Pagoda — the two of you are coming with us."

Pure bloodline pressure is passive; just now he used bloodline power as the foundation, with spiritual power as the carrier to form soul oppression, launching an all-round strike on a person's will, bloodline, and soul. This was his first attempt at fusing blood qi and spiritual power, and the effect seems pretty good.

Xie Xie blinked, looking at Yu Longheng and Ning Yue who had just been calm and composed but now had changed expressions, the former looking completely drained; the resentment in his heart instantly disappeared by more than half, and he instantly felt delighted.

You guys just got looked at by Big Brother Yuhao once, how did you go soft?

This is even worse than me!

Elder Huo, mighty!

"Big Brother Yuhao, might as well directly notify the Enforcement Team; it's not far anyway."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Sure."

Xie Xie smilingly picked up the Soul Guidance Light Screen, found an Enforcement Team Member he was familiar with, and explained the situation to him.

Beat someone up and still want to leave?

We're inviting you to the Spirit Pagoda for tea.

Yu Longheng and Ning Yue's faces instantly turned extremely ugly, but the former just stared fixedly at Huo Yuhao, recalling Xie Xie's address for him in his mind.

Big Brother Yuhao?

Yuhao... Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao, Eighth Place on the Young Genius Ranking!

This name exploded like a thunderclap in his mind. As a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Longheng naturally knew the weight of this Ranking List. Those able to reach the Top Ten are, without exception, monsters among monsters.

He himself is currently the 19th Place.

However, even among the crowd of monsters in the Top Ten, Huo Yuhao's information appears extremely abnormal.

When the other party made the Ranking List at Nine Years Old, he had already Reached the Soul Elder level, his Cultivation far surpassing the rest, and even his Sub-occupation had Reached Level Three.

Many people guessed he might be an "Old Era Soul Master" cultivated by consuming Heavenly Treasures and Elixirs, with a martial soul and martial soul practical Capability that were no good.

Even he used to think this way before, but Now See...

Yu Longheng clenched his fists, his fingernails scratching out white lines on the Soul Ground.

He had never felt such humiliation as this moment — as the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he actually lost his Fighting Spirit because of a single look from an Opponent!
