"Stubborn and disobedient daughter, I acted hastily and deserve punishment. Please, clan leader, punish me as you see fit."

Mo Lihai turned around and knelt before Shui Wuya, believing his actions had displeased the clan leader.

Unexpectedly, Shui Wuya merely waved his hand and did not hold Mo Lihai accountable.

Seeing Mo Lihai restrained by Shui Wuya, Huo Yuhao's previously panicked heart began to calm.

He knew his life was spared for the moment.

"Thank you, Clan Leader Shui, for sparing my life. I shall take my leave now and vow never to set foot in the Tianshui Sect again."

Huo Yuhao bowed to Shui Wuya before hastily turning to leave the hall.

"Yuhao, I'm coming with you."

Mo Ling'er stood up and chased after Huo Yuhao, determined to leave the Tianshui Sect with him.

However, just as they were about to exit the hall, Shui Wuya's voice echoed once more.

"I never said you could leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, two elders of the Tianshui Sect, both Titled Douluo, swiftly blocked the exit.

Huo Yuhao's expression tightened as he slowly turned back to face Shui Wuya, a sense of unease growing within him.

"What does Clan Leader Shui intend to do with me?"

Huo Yuhao asked, his voice filled with apprehension.

In response, a faint smile appeared on Shui Wuya's face.

"Did you not wish to challenge me? I am giving you that opportunity now. If you defeat me, the Tianshui Sect will allow you to enter the Tianshui Pool to enhance your martial spirit."

Shui Wuya's voice, though soft, resonated throughout the hall.

Huo Yuhao was initially shocked by Shui Wuya's agreement to the challenge, but then he felt a surge of excitement.

"Thank you, Clan Leader Shui, for this opportunity!"

Confidence began to radiate from Huo Yuhao, his fists clenched with determination.

"Yuhao, be careful. I can't read Shui Wuya's mind, but his spiritual power must be extraordinary."

At that moment, Tianmeng Iceworm's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Brother Tianmeng, don't worry. I will defeat him with my own hands!"

Huo Yuhao responded with confidence, having prepared for this day for years.

"Very well."

Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's firm response, a slight smile curved at Shui Wuya's lips.

He could sense Huo Yuhao's level of cultivation—a five-ringed Soul King—which was evidently no match for him.

However, Shui Wuya agreed to Huo Yuhao's challenge with the intention of breaking his spirit.

Soon, Huo Yuhao and Shui Wuya appeared in the open space outside the hall, with Mo Lihai and the Tianshui Sect elders standing at the edge of the area.

"Begin."

With Shui Wuya's command, the battle officially commenced.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao stepped forward, unleashing his Soul King power. Five soul rings—one white and four black—rose from beneath him.

"Huo Yuhao's soul ring configuration is unusual!"

The Tianshui Sect elders, observing the strange configuration, were visibly surprised.

"Dominion of the Emperor!"

As Huo Yuhao activated his Spirit Eyes martial soul, an overwhelming imperial aura erupted from within him, cascading towards Shui Wuya.

"Interesting."

Shui Wuya remained calm, a slight smile on his face.

He instantly recognized that Huo Yuhao was using a unique technique taught to him by Dragon God Douluo Mu En, designed to crush the opponent's will with an invincible aura.

"Boom!"

Just as 'Dominion of the Emperor' was about to descend upon Shui Wuya, a sonic boom resounded through the arena.

Shui Wuya unleashed his nearly 400,000-year-old soul beast level spiritual power, which transformed into ripples of mental energy that rapidly spread throughout the area.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In a flash, Shui Wuya's terrifying mental power shattered Huo Yuhao's 'Dominion of the Emperor.'

"This is impossible!"

Huo Yuhao, pushed back several yards by the mental ripples, barely managed to steady himself, his face filled with shock.

Since mastering 'Dominion of the Emperor,' it had always severely impacted his opponents' spirits in battle. Yet, Shui Wuya not only remained unharmed but also effortlessly neutralized it.

"Brother Tianmeng!"

In desperation, Huo Yuhao's soul rings glowed brightly. A white ice worm and a blue arctic bird materialized in front of him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao summon the ice worm and arctic bird, Mo Lihai and the Tianshui Sect elders were filled with outrage.

"How dare you, Huo Yuhao! You have stolen the Shui family's secret techniques!"

Mo Lihai shouted angrily. As a subordinate force of the Shui family, the Tianshui Sect was well aware of the soul spirit methods possessed by the Shui family.

For millennials, the Shui family has regarded their soul power techniques as family secrets, never sharing them with outsiders despite their large number of members.

Huo Yuhao was initially taken aback by Mo Lihai's rebuke, but quickly realized the situation.

"This soul spirit technique is my own creation. How could I have stolen it?"

Tianmeng's soul body was created with the help of Electrolux before his death, and Huo Yuhao used this method to convert his fifth soul ring into a soul body.

Filled with anger, Huo Yuhao ignored Mo Lihai and commanded the ice Bird to charge at Shui Wuyai.

At this point, Shui Wuya finally ceased waiting.

He unleashed his level seventy-six Soul saint power on the spot. Seven soul rings—three black and four red—appeared around him, augmenting his aura.

Immediately, his five soul spirits manifested: Octagon, Fantasy, Bai Shan, Evil Eye, and the Ice Emperor, his second martial soul spirit.

"E-Evileye Emperor? You must be joking!" Tianmeng Iceworm's face turned pale, and he prepared to flee.

"Rainhao, run!"

"Crush them."

With a mere utterance from Shui Wuya, his five soul spirits launched into battle.

"Tianmeng, I'm going to kill you!"

Despite its lower age, Dream Iceworm immediately sought out Tianmeng Iceworm.

However, as soon as the two clashed, Dream Iceworm quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

The reason was simple: as a million-year soul beast, Tianmeng Iceworm naturally suppressed the hundred-thousand-year dream Iceworm.

"Dream, I'll help you!"

Seeing her close companion being overwhelmed, Octagon could not stand by and rushed to aid against Tianmeng Iceworm.

Because Octagon and Dream Iceworm had undergone specialized combat training together in the Shui family's Soul Tool Hall, their coordination was seamless.

When the two soul spirits teamed up, they managed to engage Tianmeng Iceworm on equal footing, successfully holding him at bay.
