"Why isn't Mr. Lin moving?"

"Does this mean he's been caught in an Illusion Technique?"

"I heard this East Japan's champion's illusion technique is really amazing, even their most famous idol had to get down and bark like a dog!"

"Hey, bro, do you have a video? Share one, I'm willing to pay!"

Inside the live broadcast room.

The comment section was flooding.

From the nearest row of spectators, Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya.

Jiang Ya looked worried.

Zhang Shan was also starting to feel uneasy.

An illusion technique is something that's difficult to guard against.

Once you're caught.

You could lose inexplicably.

"Hehe..."

"I thought you'd really have some skills."

"You can't even get past a basic illusion technique..."

Mitsui Shigemasa sneered disdainfully.

Raising his right hand, he prepared to devour his opponent again, turning them into food for his soul beast.

However, the next moment.

A space ripple appeared where Lin Yi stood.

Then, a massive black-purple Sword Qi swept past Mitsui Shigemasa's chest in an instant.

After passing through Mitsui Shigemasa's body, it did not cut him in half.

Instead, it flew directly toward the forest hills outside the arena.

As the sword light flew, it gradually expanded, causing countless birds and beasts in its path to freeze in place.

Their souls were instantly shattered by the Human Dao Slash.

Their bodies didn't die, but their souls vanished forever.

"Ugh..."

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

Mitsui Shigemasa knelt on the ground.

Screaming in pain.

The pain of having his soul shattered is something ordinary people cannot bear.

What made his suffering unbearable was that a soul beast within him was gravely injured by the slash, and its abilities were now unusable for a short time.

"What made you think I've fallen into your illusion?"

Lin Yi spoke softly.

The Elegy of the Soul in his hand was raised again.

Another purple-black sword light was swung.

This time, it wasn't the Six Dao Thoughtless Slash.

But just a normal soul Sword Qi attack from Lin You.

But after ascending to the imperial rank.

The damage she inflicted on souls with a casual slash was terrifying.

"Roarrrr—!"

The next moment, Lin Yi saw a mass of black air emerging from Mitsui Shigemasa's half-kneeling body.

The black air formed a giant soul body monster.

The monster was earth-yellow, resembling a giant raccoon.

With black spots all over its body.

At first glance, Lin Yi felt this monster looked familiar.

Goodness, isn't this Shouhe?

Why isn't it staying in the Naruto set but running here?

Of course, Lin Yi also knew this Shouhe is not the one from Naruto.

This world doesn't have the concept of tailed beasts.

Shouhe is actually a kind of demon from East Japan's legend.

This demon was born in teapots within temples.

There are many folklore and tales about it.

But now, these legendary creatures in those tales have truly materialized.

And turned into a life form entirely composed of special souls.

Lin Yi gave Mitsui Shigemasa a deep look.

This should be related to his profession.

But the Eye of Omniscience hasn't fully deciphered it yet.

However, it provided information about the soul beast Shouhe.

[Soul Illusion Smoke]

[Sealing Object's Trait]

[Effect: Releases an illusion smoke in the surrounding space that only souls can scent. All targets that inhale the illusion smoke will fall into the Illusion Realm created by Shouhe.]

[The illusion technique is directly targeted at the soul and cannot be resisted by conventional skills.]

It appears the illusion technique is Shouhe's doing.

No wonder even Uehara Rina couldn't guard against such an illusion.

The opponents Mitsui Shigemasa killed instantly.

Probably also unknowingly inhaled the Soul Illusion Smoke, turning into prey at his mercy.

This included Guo Yinglong.

Thinking of Guo Yinglong, Lin Yi felt regret once more.

Looking at the kneeled Mitsui Shigemasa and the phantom of Shouhe, his gaze was cold.

Human Dao Slash, coupled with Lin You's casual slash.

Directly wounded the monster sealed inside Mitsui Shigemasa to the brink.

The massive Shouhe crouched on the ground, with its black pupils staring at Lin Yi in extreme panic.

"No... impossible!"

"How could you..."

Mitsui Shigemasa panted heavily.

Trying to say something.

But Lin Yi didn't waste any more words on him.

Elegy of the Soul swung another slash.

The Sword Qi again hitting the massive Shouhe.

Escaping death?

There must be a finishing blow.

This slash became the final straw.

The huge Shouhe phantom dissolved completely amid miserable wails.

Turning into specks of light.

Dissipating into the world.

...

Bam!

Mitsui Yasuji slammed his right hand heavily on the table.

Directly smashing the judges' table into dust.

For a War God level character.

Even a casual slap has terrifying power.

This specially made table couldn't withstand it.

Mitsui Yasuji felt his heart bleeding.

He had previously come to request his younger son withdraw from the tournament to avoid trouble.

The soul beast plan was too big.

They couldn't afford the cost of failure.

Nevertheless, Mitsui Shigemasa's unique constitution was crucial to the plan.

"See, getting anxious again."

Cheng Xiao squinted, took a sip of tea, and rushed to the battlefield to mock timely.

"The fight just began and the first life is gone."

"Can you handle this?"

Mitsui Yasuji was furious.

His eyes nearly on fire.

If it weren't for the squinting eye beside him watching.

He would have slapped the boy named Lin Yi on the stage to death.

Ruined his big plan…!

Subjected him to such humiliation!

Unforgivable!

...

On the stage.

The pain of having the soul beast within him completely eradicated made Mitsui Shigemasa sweat profusely.

But his bone-deep hatred for Lin Yi made him brace his knees and stand up.

Mitsui Shigemasa tore off the black cloth draped over his forehead.

And his true face appeared before all the audience.

However, his appearance directly scared the children watching the live stream through screens to tears.

Mitsui Shigemasa's eyes and the area above his forehead.

Were filled with dense red bumps, with nine eyes opening in a "V" shaped formation among the red bumps.

Each pupil within the eyes was different.

Writing the numbers "One" to "Nine".

Yet the eye symbolizing "One" was constantly oozing dark blood.

Then slowly closing.

"Since I sealed these nine monsters into my soul, I haven't experienced pain of this level until today..."

"Good, you'll repay this pain a hundredfold!"

Mitsui Shigemasa showed a maniacal smile.

"Nine eyes..."

"Kill one, close one."

"So you only have nine lives."

"Tsk, you're as weak as a Korean."

"Hmm, that's biased, insulting Korea, my comment is, not as good as Pei Junxi."

Lin Yi's words hit directly.

Leaving the Korean spectators on the sidelines stunned.

Not only do you kill, but you also target the heart?!
