Xie Xie only felt his vision go black. A powerful impact sent him flying several meters. He rolled on the ground a few times before stumbling to his feet. Looking up, he saw that blocking him was a dirt wall, covered in cracks, which Yu Longheng had punched through.
Xie Xie swallowed. Cold sweat poured from his entire body.
Holy crap — just a little bit more, and that lightning fist would have hit him in the face. If not for this dirt wall, he would have been done for.
Wait — dirt wall?
Xie Xie's eyes lit up. He looked toward the corner.
Seeing his attack blocked, a flicker of surprise also flashed in Yu Longheng's eyes. But he quickly recovered that indifferent expression. He also turned his head to look at the corner, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"Meeting again so soon. You're spirit masters from Eastsea City. Didn't have a chance to greet you on the soul-powered train last time. My name is Yu Longheng."
Huo Yuhao, who had come rushing from the street with Gu Yuena, glanced at him, ignored him, and simply looked at Xie Xie. "Are you okay?"
Dirty and disheveled, Xie Xie nodded with lingering fear. "I'm fine. Sister Na's timing was really good. Of course if she could have used the wind element to cushion the impact a bit, that would have been even better."
"Still making demands?" Gu Yuena gave a cold snort. "Take care of yourself next time."
"Don't — I just have a smart mouth. It just comes out." Xie Xie quickly shook his head.
Huo Yuhao then looked at the scene around him and reminded him: "Next time, don't be so impulsive. Look clearly. Look clearly the gap gap in strength before stepping in."
Although he had arrived later, just by looking at the scene, he probably understood the situation.
Shrek Academy's assessment... well, what could he say? These two hadn't charged into the Spirit Transmission Tower's law enforcement zone. That was already sane, right?
"Got it." Xie Xie smiled awkwardly. "I understand."
When Boss Yuhao used a calm tone to teach others, there was somehow a feeling that it was hard to resist.
Seeing Huo Yuhao ignored him, Yu Longheng narrowed his eyes.
"This classmate — I just introduced myself. Shouldn't you say something?"
"You just almost killed me, and you still expect us to be nice to you?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie immediately looked viciously at Yu Longheng, his eyes practically shooting fire. "You're unreasonable!"
"I meant no harm. I just didn't want trouble. I held back on that attack. You wouldn't have been injured."
Yu Longheng was unmoved, still maintaining a calm expression. "Even if no one had blocked it, you wouldn't have been hurt."
This attitude made Xie Xie even more angry. He gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately rush up and have a "physical" discussion with him. But thinking of the gap gap in their strength, he held back.
"You've just cultivated a few more years. Big deal. Give me the same amount of time, and I might not lose to you!"
Yu Longheng cast Xie Xie a cold glance before looking away.
Just a child of around ten—someone who had yet to experience the malice of the world.
The world had never been fair. Xie Xie was born in Eastsea, while he, Yu Longheng, came from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. The difference in their upbringing and innate knowledge was like night and day.
Entering the Spirit Transmission Tower couldn't make up their gap. It would only grow wider. When he entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and obtained the immortal herb Spirit Soul, that would be his time to soar.
"Longheng — shouldn't we be going?" Ning Yue's delicate brows furrowed. She didn't feel like staying here any longer. She couldn't help saying in a low voice: "While they've forgotten about calling the law enforcement team, let's leave quickly."
Yu Longheng nodded at this.
Ning Yue felt a bit relieved and turned to leave. But Yu Longheng beside her looked again in Huo Yuhao's direction. After weighing things in his mind, his entire body became entangled with lightning, and he suddenly erupted into a powerful dragon might.
Given the current situation, this blue-eyed boy was also from the Spirit Transmission Tower. He had even previously traveled with a Title Douluo. His background was deep and deep. In the future, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a good opportunity as now. He wanted to test things while he had the chance.
To personally experience the gap between his martial soul and Huo Yuhao's!
Huo Yuhao had been looking at the middle-aged man in the corner with some strangeness. Feeling Yu Longheng's defiance, he looked up and glanced at him. A trace of silver light flickered in his eyes.
In that instant, Yu Longheng suddenly felt an indescribable fear surge from the depths of his heart.
The lightning around him was still roaring, purple electricity dancing wildly, but his body had stiffened — Huo Yuhao's seemingly casual glance had made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Deep within those ice-blue eyes, it seemed some existence beyond common sense lay dormant. Just being looked at made the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex bloodline within his body instinctively tremble.
"What... is this?" Yu Long heng's pupils trembled slightly, his throat tight.
How was this possible? How could I be afraid?
He was filled with bewilderment, but the fear came nonetheless. His heart felt as if it were squeezed, the blood in his entire body trembling.
He had never felt such pressure!
It wasn't a crushing crushing of spirit power, but an absolute crushing crushing of bloodline essence! Like a young dragon facing an ancient true dragon unable even to summon the thought of resistance or battle.
Ning Yue sensed his abnormality and hurriedly grabbed his arm. "Longheng? What's wrong?"
But Yu Longheng did not answer. Cold sweat seeped from his forehead. The dragon blood within him was raging madness. His very soul seemed to be urging him to submit — or warning him to flee!
Only when Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze did the suffocating pressure slowly dissipate. Yu Longheng suddenly gasped for breath, like a drowning man surfacing from the deep sea. His back was soaked in cold sweat. He collapsed onto the ground, completely limp and pathetic.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm gaze turn toward her, Ning Yue felt a chill shoot up her spine. Her entire body tightened. The confidence of being a genius of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect completely vanished from her heart at that moment.
She hurriedly lowered her head, staring intently at the ground, as if there were something worth studying there. Even her breathing was very light, least she attracted Huo Yuhao's attention and end up like Yu Longheng.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao said: "Repeatedly attacking Spirit Transmission Tower members near the Spirit Transmission Tower — you two will come with us."
Pure bloodline pressure was passive. What he had just done was to use bloodline power as a foundation, with spiritual power as a carrier, to form a soul pressure an all-around blow to a person's will, bloodline, and soul. This was his first attempt at fusion blood and energy power with spiritual power. The effect seemed acceptable.
Xie Xie blinked. Watching Yu Longheng and Ning Yue, who had just been so calm and indifferent, change their expressions — the former even looking exhausted — he felt most of the anger in his heart disappeared in an instant. He was immediately amused.
You two only got a single glance from Boss Yuhao, and you went soft?
That's even weaker than me!
Boss Huo — impressive!
"Boss Yuhao — let's just call the law enforcement team directly. It's not far anyway."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Alright."
Xie Xie picked up his soul tool light screen with a smile and found a law enforcement team big brother he knew, explaining the situation.
You hit people and still want to leave?
We're inviting you to the Spirit Transmission Tower for tea.
Yu Longheng and Ning Yue's faces instantly became extremely grim. But the former only stared intently at Huo Yuhao, recalling the way Xie Xie had addressed him.
Boss Yuhao?
Yuhao... Huo Yuhao?
The eighth-ranked Huo Yuhao on the Junior Genius Rankings!
This name exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt. As a genius of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, Yu Longheng naturally knew the weight of this ranking. Those in the top ten were monsters among monsters.
He himself was currently ranked nineteenth.
But even among the monsters in the top ten, Huo Yuhao's information appeared very abnormal.
When he had entered the rankings, he was nine years old — already at the Spirit Elder level. His cultivation level left everyone in the dust. His secondary profession had also reached Grade Three.
Many speculated that he might be an "old-era Soul Engineer" who had cultivated using heavenly treasures and pills — that his martial soul and actual combat ability might not be good.
Even he had thought that way before. But now, seeing this... Yu Longheng clenched his fists. His fingernails scratched white lines on the ground.
Never had he felt so humiliated — as the heir of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, he had lost his fighting spirit because of a single glance from his opponent!
