Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, the nine people flew into a rage.
"Courting death!"
However, just as the infuriated nine were about to make a move, Ye Yu flickered and disappeared from their sight. Before they could react, they felt as if a mountain had smashed into their chests, sending them flying, blood spraying as their bones and internal organs shattered.
A series of nine muffled thuds resounded almost simultaneously as the nine were blasted away, vomiting blood with fragmented organs, all collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
The referee stepped forward to check one by one, shocked to find all nine were dead.
Ye Yu looked down at them, "Meeting me was your misfortune."
Here, Martial Souls cannot be used, and Ye Yu's strength is terrifying even without support. Without Martial Souls, even Soul Saints can be killed, let alone these people, who are mostly only at the Soul Sect or Soul King level.
The referee announced Ye Yu's victory and Ye Yu left the arena.
After Ye Yu left, no one dared to ambush him. The ones who were waiting outside to ambush him had already run away in fright.
Three days passed, and Hu Liena had already killed over a hundred people.
She participated in three matches and killed so many people because she faced ambushes every time she came out.
Ye Yu participated in three matches, killing twenty-seven people, as no one dared to ambush him when he left. Ye Yu's opponents were all instantly obliterated.
A month passed, with Ye Yu winning fifteen matches and Hu Liena nine. The further they went, the harder it became as opponents grew stronger.
Even though Soul Techniques couldn't be used, those with higher Soul Power naturally found it easier to win.
Ye Yu began to find it interesting as his opponents became increasingly difficult, allowing him to hone himself.
Hu Liena always waited for Ye Yu's match to end before registering herself, fearing being placed in the same group as him, knowing she couldn't win.
The reason for only fifteen matches in a month was because no one dared to be in the same group as Ye Yu.
Unknowingly, a year had passed.
At this moment, ten people entered the Slaughter Arena.
Every one of them emitted an intensely cold aura, suffocating the entire Slaughter Arena.
In a year, Ye Yu had participated in seventy matches, naturally winning seventy times, breaking the record.
The previous record was thirty wins in a year, but Ye Yu not only broke it but set an unbreakable record.
Now, Ye Yu's record in the Hell Slaughter Arena ranks second. Another person still holds the first place as they have been here for several years.
The nine people in the arena knew they were facing Ye Yu, but they were not afraid, instead filled with excitement. Everyone wanted to win, with each aiming for a hundred victories. Obtaining the title of a hundred victories allowed one to become a resident of the City of Slaughter. Though they couldn't leave, they had significant rights and might become an Honored Guest Elder of the King of Slaughter.
A year of seventy matches was naturally not Ye Yu's limit because no one dared face him. So as the number of victories increased, it became slower.
Today, with ten people gathered, Ye Yu hadn't competed for ten days.
Over the year, Ye Yu had become a star in the Hell Slaughter Arena and the City of Slaughter. Many people treated Ye Yu with utmost respect. Many women approached Ye Yu for protection but were scared away by his aura.
At this moment, Ye Yu was very different from when he first arrived, with a cold, bloodthirsty, and cruel look in his eyes.
During the year, there were indeed battles that made Ye Yu feel dangerous and thrilling, particularly facing three opponents over level eighty. Even though he won, Ye Yu was injured and weakened.
Finally, those wanting to make a move against Ye Yu found their opportunity and were excited.
No one ever dared to ambush him, and once they did, there were many; at that time, a thousand people surrounded the Slaughter Arena.
At that time, Ye Yu was not afraid at all, only excited, frenzied, with adrenaline soaring and a great slaughter ensued.
The result was rivers of blood outside, with a thousand people dead, and Ye Yu crawling out from the heap of corpses.
Since then, Ye Yu's prestige soared, making others dread him.
After that battle, Ye Yu gained the nickname of Asura King.
He was also called by some, the Cheat King...
At this moment, in the Slaughter Arena, the battle began.
In an instant, Ye Yu was surrounded by nine.
A trace of blood-red appeared in Ye Yu's pupils, cold and bloodthirsty.
In a year, though Soul Power hadn't improved much, only by a level, here what was honed was his own self, increasing his Combat Power. Now he could defeat two pre-entry versions of himself without using Soul Techniques, this was the improvement, this was the benefit of honing here.
The nine people clearly understood Ye Yu's terror, so they agreed silently without words to kill Ye Yu first. This is why the more victories, the harder it is to increase them. Not only do the matches decrease, but at the start, all nine opponents will gang up against him.
The nine roared, rushing at Ye Yu from all directions, each filled with murderous intent.
In the audience, Hu Liena was among them. She watched every one of Ye Yu's matches.
Now her expression was one of complete despair, holding no hope for the championship, deepening her fear of Ye Yu.
At the same time, she sincerely admired Ye Yu, who was celebrated as the Asura King, extremely famous here.
People here struggle daily on the edge of death, and many, especially men, would find ways to relieve this tremendous pressure each day. But not Ye Yu; once his battles ended, he would return alone to his room for cultivation. Many women tried to cozy up to him but were scared away by his murderous aura, and he never indulged himself.
Such a terrifying demon but also so hardworking, she knew that Ye Yu's future would be boundless.
Originally, she harbored hatred for Ye Yu, but gradually, she came to admire him. Although Ye Yu was six years younger than her, that handsome face, the resolute demeanor, and many other qualities attracted her.
As a prodigy of the Martial Soul Hall, her standards were high, believing that no man would ever catch her eye, that her other half must be better than her. She originally thought such a man wouldn't appear, until she met Ye Yu, continuously realizing his terror.
Especially that one battle when she thought Ye Yu would lose, after all, facing three Soul Douluo. Even though they couldn't use Soul Techniques, they were still extremely terrifying.
However, Ye Yu not only won but faced an assault by thousands.
At that time, she was taken aback, it was the first time so many people ever ambushed.
The strong and the weak, all had been holding back for long, finally finding an opportunity.
That time, she thought Ye Yu would undoubtedly die, but strangely didn't feel happy. As Ye Yu was an enemy of the Martial Soul Hall, she should have been happy, but instead felt regret, sighed.
Then, to her astonishment, Ye Yu survived.
There are many reasons for a woman to like a man, and now, Hu Liena knew she had already fallen for Ye Yu.
Hu Liena sighed, "If only he was like me from the Martial Soul Hall, or at least not an enemy of the Martial Soul Hall... what a pity, alas..."
