"Unfortunately, the gap between you and me isn't something the word genius can bridge."
"Everything here is an illusion."
"Even the scenes I let you see that appear real are still illusions."
"Within my Remnant Dream, I am the absolute ruler."
"Don't even mention that you're only in the low fifties—"
"Even a soul master at the same level as me,"
"would be unable to break free from my Remnant Dream."
Ye Fan's expression turned extremely ugly.
"Ye Fan, do you know what the greatest pleasure of my life is?"
Shi Nian's smile suddenly became strange.
If one had to describe it—
perverted would be a very fitting word for his current appearance.
"What is it?"Ye Fan asked calmly.
Shi Nian smiled faintly."In my life, my greatest pleasure is watching my opponents go mad in my Remnant Dream—until they die."
"Especially tormenting geniuses."
"In a moment, I'll see a young man hailed as a genius become like that. I can already feel my excitement."
"You're determined to kill me? There's no room for compromise at all?"Ye Fan asked indifferently.
Shi Nian's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
"Since I've let you see me, do you really think I'll let you live? Don't bother struggling—everything is already meaningless for you."
"Today next year will be your death anniversary."
"If people truly have souls,"
"then use your own soul to watch Canghui Academy charge out of the qualifiers and advance to the next round."
Ye Fan said nothing more. Green and black soul power began to revolve around him, forming a protective barrier.
Shi Nian laughed—laughed wildly.
"You think this can resist my martial soul? Kid, you're far too naïve."
"If my Remnant Dream were that easy to resist, I wouldn't deserve the title of Soul Saint."
"Just wait and see."
"You will perish in extreme agony—and that agony will be inflicted by yourself."
Shi Nian's voice gradually faded.
Everything around them once again became hazy, as if he had gone far away—or vanished entirely.
Ye Fan sat upright, completely motionless, quietly condensing his soul power.
The surroundings began to change.
Ye Fan suddenly discovered in shock that the soul power he had been controlling around his body seemed to have disappeared.
Although he could still sense its existence,
there was no trace of it within his field of vision.
The scenery shifted again.
It was no longer the small forest from before.
This was a bustling modern metropolis.
He stood quietly by a bridge.
Below it, the Huangpu River surged endlessly.
A dream?
Could everything in the Douluo Continent have been nothing more than a dream?
Was all of this merely a hallucination before suicide?
One voice after another relentlessly assaulted Ye Fan's mind.
"Mortgage payment time! Where's this month's installment? The developer running off is their problem—this is money you owe the bank!"
"Look at what you wrote. You're fired!"
"Xiao Xin's tutoring classes cost over five thousand this vacation. Other kids have it—our child must have it too!"
"Starting next month, rent goes up by three hundred."
...
Ye Fan suddenly roared,"Ahhh!"
...
Shi Nian leaned against a large tree.
His seventh soul ring continuously released dazzling black light.
His face was filled with cruel, twisted laughter.
Ten meters in front of him,
Ye Fan lay on the ground, his entire body violently convulsing.
Shi Nian didn't even need to open his eyes—
he could clearly sense that Ye Fan was on the verge of collapse.
It had been a long time since he enjoyed such pleasure in torture and slaughter.
What a pity for this genius youth—
but who told you to stand against me?
Very well. I want to see—
exactly how you die.
I really want to know what kind of illusion he's experiencing right now.
My seventh soul skill, Nightmare, only creates the most terrifying events buried deep within a person's heart.
So what is this genius boy most afraid of?
Genius or not—won't he still die in the most painful way within my Remnant Dream?
Shi Nian's smile grew even more cruel.
"What a pity. If I could reach the level of a Titled Douluo, I'd be able to see everything he's experiencing within my martial soul."
"That would be perfect."
...
"Sigh… let's end it here."
Ye Fan's sigh suddenly rang out.
In an instant—
Shi Nian's body stiffened violently.
"How is this possible?!"
"You're just a mere Soul King!"
"How could you possibly break my illusion?!"
Ye Fan said calmly,
"There's nothing impossible. I simply wanted to see how effective your illusion was."
"You do still have some value."
"Otherwise, you'd already be dead."
Shi Nian burst into laughter.
"Me—lose? You're young, but your arrogance is astounding."
"Although I don't know how you saw through my seventh soul skill, Nightmare."
"But do you think that alone means you can defeat me?"
"How ridiculous."
"With my seventy-two levels of soul power, even without using any skills, you couldn't break my defense or restrain me."
"Even if you've broken my skill, the outcome won't change."
"However, before you die, I'll give you a chance."
"I'm very curious—how did you break my Nightmare divine skill?"
"Tell me, and I'll let you die a little more cleanly."
Ye Fan's fifth soul ring flashed.
In his palm appeared a mushroom no larger than a thumb, interwoven with pink, white, and various other colors.
Enchanting Mushroom.
"Your illusion relies on spiritual suppression. Different paths, same destination—at the source, it's all the same,"
"The greater the gap in spiritual power, the stronger your effect."
"But my spiritual power is far beyond what you can imagine."
"Now—sink into it."
"Shi Nian!"
"Look at what's in my hand!"
Shi Nian subconsciously looked toward Ye Fan's palm.
The instant he saw the Enchanting Mushroom—
his eyes turned white.
He stepped forward one step at a time,
picked up the mushroom,
and ate it in just a few bites.
Soon, his eyes returned to normal.
He slowly spoke to Ye Fan,
"Master."
From the outside, Shi Nian appeared perfectly fine.
In reality, he was.
Except—
deep within his heart, something extra had been planted:
unlimited, unconditional, bottomless loyalty to Ye Fan.
This was the Enchanting Mushroom's ability.
As long as the opponent's spiritual power was weaker than Ye Fan's,
the moment they saw the Enchanting Mushroom,
they would be enchanted.
The only difference was the duration.
The greater the spiritual gap, the longer the enchantment.
Once the opponent ate the Enchanting Mushroom,
that absolute loyalty to Ye Fan would be etched deep into their soul.
Ye Fan said softly,
"Your martial soul is special. Killing you would be a waste."
Shi Nian bent deeply at the waist, utterly respectful.
"Everything for Master."
