Wang Qiu'er was furious. "Who needs your mercy?" She squatted down, before shooting upwards like a golden arrow. Her sixth soul ring shone as she shot up and unleashed her sixth soul skill, Golden Dragon's Bloodlust. She'd decided to pit her sixth soul skill against Wang Dong'er's sixth soul skill. Wang Qiu'er was like a goddess of war right now; she had natural instincts for fighting. When she realized that something was different about Wang Dong'er, she quickly increased her fighting strength to its maximum.
A furious-looking golden dragon coiled around her body as it appeared. It slowly rose up along the Golden Dragon Spear's shaft. Its instantaneous explosive power seemed to tear the entire sky apart.
Wang Dong'er was glowing brightly with dazzling light when she stopped in mid-air. Following this, the light scattered, and countless, small Radiant Butterfly Goddesses suddenly dispersed, before suddenly beginning to engulf Wang Qiu'er.
Butterfly Goddess' Dance. This was indeed Wang Dong'er's Butterfly Goddess' Dance.
A sonorous dragon roar reverberated, and Wang Qiu'er's fifth soul ring instantly lit up.
Wang Dong'er had used her strongest skill immediately. Even though Wang Qiu'er didn't know her intention, she was still determined to pit her strongest skills against Wang Dong'er. The combination of her Golden Dragon's Bloodlust and Golden Dragon's Roar was the strongest pairing of soul skills she could form.
The Coiling Golden Dragon instantly grew larger, and started to cover Wang Qiu'er's body entirely. Its eyes were completely red now, marking a sign of bloodlust. The entire icy peak was illuminated by the light coming off its body.
The countless Radiant Butterfly Goddesses were like dazzling, bluish-gold clouds that bore down on Wang Qiu'er, whereas the Coiling Golden Dragon charged towards them as if it were searching for light.
When both parties came into contact with each other, Wang Qiu'er's dragon stopped, and the countless Radiant Butterfly Goddesses gently adhered to it. They didn't clash forcefully with the dragon, but rather landed on it gradually.
This was using softness to conquer strength.
Wang Dong'er was clearly aware that she would lose to Wang Qiu'er in a direct confrontation, even with the Chaotic Splitting Wind Hammer Technique of her Clear Sky Hammer. Wang Qiu'er would never let her have the opportunity to unleash her Chaotic Splitting Wind Hammer Technique at its full strength. That was why there was only one way she could beat Wang Qiu'er—using her softness to conquer Wang Qiu'er's strength. Only her Butterfly Goddess' Dance was capable of suppressing Wang Qiu'er.
The golden dragon instantly turned bluish-gold as it was engulfed by the Radiant Butterfly Goddesses. A huge bluish-gold projection also surfaced in the sky at the same moment.
The golden dragon started to contort tremendously as it tried to break out of the trap set by the Radiant Butterfly Goddesses. However, Wang Qiu'er's explosive strength and dominant aura were continuously weakened as she tried to escape.
Against Yan Feng, Wang Dong'er had unleashed seven consecutive explosions using her Butterfly Goddess' Dance. Even with Yan Feng's evil soul master abilities, he'd still needed to use his Martial Soul True Body to break free. However, even then he'd still been hurt.
Wang Dong'er's Butterfly Goddess' Dance was only possible because she could metamorphosize her abilities. She was no less gifted than Huo Yuhao. After all, she also had twin martial souls.
At this point, Wang Qiu'er finally experienced how strong Wang Dong'er was.
Boom! The first explosion rang out, and a huge Radiant Butterfly Goddess projection suddenly appeared, causing the Coiling Golden Dragon to turn even more bluish-gold.
Boom, boom, boom… Another three explosions sounded. The golden dragon started to twist and contort tremendously. The Radiant Butterfly Goddesses surrounding it had also turned into bluish-gold patterns on Wang Qiu'er's body.
Boom, boom...The fifth and sixth explosions rang out, the terrifying explosions causing the golden dragon's aura to weaken significantly.
However, the sky suddenly turned silent at this moment. The bluish-gold butterfly projection that appeared after the sixth explosion reverberated seemed to materialize in the air.
Following this, a golden dragon projection appeared beneath it, and started to rapidly knock its way into Wang Qiu'er's body.
Weng…! Ang…!
The piercing golden lights seemed to create another small sun in the sky. Afterwards, an unprecedentedly domineering aura instantly erupted. The bluish-gold light faded away, and the dragon finally managed to break free from its restraints, escaping the encirclement before the last explosion occurred.
Wang Dong'er's figure surfaced in the air, formed from a combination of countless streaks of bluish-gold light. Right now, she seemed very pale, and her left arm sagged beside her body. However, her fifth soul ring also lit up, and she turned a transparent gold.
This was her fifth soul skill, Goddess of Light's Possession.
In the next moment, the golden dragon that had risen up clashed with Wang Dong'er's Radiant Butterfly Goddess once again.
Although they were both golden, they both had different styles and auras. The golden light from their bodies weaved in the air as they clashed.
Wang Dong'er's Radiant Butterfly Goddess and Wang Qiu'er's Coiling Golden Dragon both disappeared. Only two ravishing figures descended from the sky and gradually landed on the icy peak.
Both Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er seemed a little pale. However, their gazes were equally sharp.
Although they'd only clashed for a short period of time, they'd already given their all.
Their long, powdery-blue hair fluttered in the air, and they were both very persistent and focused. Their resolve caused the icy peak to be filled with a somber air.
As they were landing, they were also recharging themselves. Their next clash was bound to be just as spectacular as before. It might even decide who the victor of this fight was.
However, the sky lit up at this point. It was as if the sun had graced the icy peak with its presence. The bright golden light quickly attracted their attention.
They lifted their head to look into the sky. What they saw left them both astonished and anxious.
Amidst the golden lights, a figure was quickly charging towards another figure. However, the former figure was flung backwards every time he tried to attack. Blood continuously flowed from his body. However, he still crawled up in persistence and charged towards the illusory figure.
"Yuhao?"
"It's him?"
Both of them spoke at almost the same time. Their strong fighting intent dissolved at this moment.
The bluish-gold lights behind Wang Dong'er started to ignite again. She couldn't be bothered to recover her powers anymore; the wings of her Goddess of Light quickly opened. As she fluttered them with force, she propelled herself towards the figure in the air that kept on being beaten down.
Wang Qiu'er couldn't fly, but this didn't affect her movement. She sank down, before suddenly springing up like a cannon shell. The strength of her Golden Dragon propelled her body upward towards the other's figure at an even faster speed than Wang Dong'er.
However, an indescribably terrifying force suddenly descended from the sky when they reached a certain altitude, causing them to be forced back down to the icy peak.
"No…!" Wang Dong'er cried out in sorrow when she saw Huo Yuhao flung back yet again.
As Wang Qiu'er's character was different than hers, her reaction was also different. She didn't cry out, but rather gritted her teeth. She disregarded everything and sprang up into the air again.
However, they were too weak compared to the force that had descended from the sky. All of their efforts were simply wasted.
A bluish-gold figure slowly walked towards Huo Yuhao, and a shining trident appeared in his hand.
"No…!" This time, Wang Qiu'er finally shouted along with Wang Dong'er. They both had a desperate look in their eyes.
At this point, the light projection paused, and the indifferent voice from earlier sounded yet again.
"No conclusion will be reached from this duel between the two of you. Since that's the case, we'll use another method. Huo Yuhao is on the brink of death right now. However, he'll survive so long as one of you is willing to sacrifice your life for his. However, you must remember that he might end up with the other person if he survives and you die. This means that you might grant your love rival her wish if you sacrifice your life to save him. The two of you will have three seconds to decide."

"Three…"
"Isn't this a little cruel to them? Wasn't his test sufficient?" A dull voice asked.
"If it was just to be my son-in-law. However, my personal expectations of him aren't nearly that simple. Moreover, there's also a prerequisite to becoming said son-in-law. Have you forgotten?" A soothing voice replied.
"It's not easy becoming your son-in-law! Why do I feel like you were trying to exact revenge earlier? Are all fathers like that when they see their daughters fall for someone else? You must be having fun with the fight, right?"
The soothing voice coughed, before saying, "Don't malign me! I'm very impartial. Without a storm, how can there be a rainbow? I'd already decided this when I let Xiao Qi descend on this world. In the future, if he can't let Xiao Qi… I'll consider that nothing happened at all, then."
"You're too vicious!"
"How could it be easy to be my son-in-law? Hmph! She's my favorite!"
"Aren't you going a little overboard on your daughter as well…"
"Without a storm, there's no rainbow. Without setbacks, one won't learn how to treasure things."
"Alright,alright. You win…"
"Without a storm, there's no rainbow."
"Shut up before I complain to your wife! Oh yeah, does the boss know that you're doing this to his descendant?"
"I forgot to tell him…"
"Deliberately?"
-------
Huo Yuhao struggled to crawl up from the ground. He didn't know how many times he'd been beaten to the ground at this point.
He'd been battered as soon as he'd begun, and gone through the entire process death and coming back several times at this point. He'd slowly gotten used to this feeling, and had pestered his opponent longer and longer.
Throughout this process, he'd practically felt every type of pain one could imagine. He could even clearly remember the specific pain tied to a specific bone when it was crushed. This inhumane torture that he was suffering was akin to a form of baptism.
However, this baptism seemed to make him stronger. Every time he experienced pain and gritted his teeth before charging towards his terrifying opponent, he felt that his mental resilience had become ever so slightly stronger.
