Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Rules Of The Soul

“Big brother!” Lan Mingyue’s cold personality was swept away as soon as she saw the face of Yang Lujia. “I knew you’d come to save me!”

‘I didn’t come to save you, though,’ Yang Lujia thought.

Nonetheless, he casually threw her back onto her throne, incurring the annoyance of Lan Mingyue. She harrumphed and pouted like a child, crossing her arms across her chest.

When Ming Ze witnessed the woman she longed to marry acting like a child in front of another man, he was instantly furious. She didn’t even bother to go against this man and acted like a docile fox.

In his mind, questions entered one after another.

‘Who is he?’

‘Is he her boyfriend?’

‘How come I have never heard or seen him before?’

‘Is he also from the Autonomous Region?’

“Who the hell are you?” Ming Ze asked Yang Lujia, his face extremely sinister.

“You’re not a Dark Executive or a puppet of a Dark Executive?” Yang Lujia directly asked, narrowing his eyes and probing into Ming Ze’s dantian.

Ming Ze felt cold as he felt like he was stripped of everything that he had the moment Yang Lujia stared at him intently. “You! How dare you call me a puppet of the Dark Executive!”

Meanwhile, Cai Hong, on the back, felt like blood evaporated off of his spine. When the young man appeared, the instinctual feeling of danger he had felt back then was even more magnified.

Recalling all the faces of the young geniuses in the Autonomous Region, he seemed unable to remember anyone with that face. Other than the top 10 geniuses in all four regions, Cai Hong had never seen the others.

“Could he be a young genius from the top 10? Impossible!” Cai Hong found it hard to believe. “If he were truly one of the top 10 geniuses, then why would he be here? Why wasn’t he in seclusion? I heard that these geniuses had at least comprehended two types of rules!”

He had doubts in his heart. Although he was not worried about his big brother, he was more worried about offending someone they should not offend. Their master might be a peak Saint King, but compared to the geniuses in the top 10, their master could possibly be even defeated by one of them—because they comprehended more rules than their master.

Moreover, this person knew about Dark Executives. “Is he that rumored genius from that sect that specialized in the dark rules? I heard that he had comprehended at least two types of rules—the irregular type of rules stronger than those normal ones. I wonder if it was true.”

These irregular rules are normally a combination of two or more major rules. The amalgamation of the dark rules and flame rules is an example of an irregular type of rule called the rules of dark flame.

“Compared to my rules of gale, I am simply a far cry to those geniuses who could use these irregular rules,” Cai Hong said as he shook his head. “It’s over. If he’s really from ‘that’ sect, then we’re doomed. Even the master could not save us.”

But he doubted Yang Lujia was from ‘that’ sect, as observing this young man from afar, he seemed to have a grudge against Dark Executives. Or perhaps someone from their sect betrayed him.

“It seems you’re not controlled by a Dark Executive, yet you’re acting like one. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I just found out that you’re just an unruly brat,” Yang Lujia ruthlessly commented, still looking at Ming Ze. He then looked at Cai Hong and Hai Tao. “Are they your lackeys?”

“You are the unruly brat, bitch!” Ming Ze shouted as he spread his aura once more. However, he soon realized that the aura he released could not even spread for more than a meter in radius.

With bloodshot eyes, he looked at Yang Lujia. “What. Have. You. Done!”

Cai Hong felt all his hair stand on end as soon as he saw the rules surrounding his senior brother. He did not know the rules Yang Lujia used. It was gray in color and almost blended with the space around it.

“The type of rule you control is quite interesting,” Yang Lujia said, grinning from ear to ear. “However, even if you control the rules of the soul, you can still not defeat me.”

Fortunately, Fortuniel told him about the rules of the soul. These are rules, especially for those who tread on the Path of the Spirit to strengthen their spirits. In fact, it is one of the strongest rules that ever existed.

“How… how did you know about the rules that I control?” Ming Ze was awakened from his hatred after hearing what Yang Lujia said. Only his master knew of the type of rule he could control—the reason he was chosen as his best disciple.

Simply because those who could control the rules of the soul would have combat power only lower than those with superior rules such as the rules of space.

It was only then at this time when Cai Hong realized why his senior brother could always beat him. It was because he could use the rules of the soul by stirring his own spirit every time.

When one brought the rules of the soul to a certain degree, one could even disintegrate the spirits or souls of other beings by manipulating the rules of the soul.

“Could I also learn to manipulate the rules of the soul, Fortuniel?” Yang Lujia asked, trying to contemplate whether he should learn the rules of the soul or not.

“You can, host. In fact, the host could already use the rules of the soul ever since then. You just weren’t able to use it because you never knew of it,” Fortuniel’s reply which baffled Yang Lujia.

“What do you mean by that, Fortuniel?” Yang Lujia was skeptical.

“The host was born with unparalleled physiques. Along with your Avatar Dragon Body and the Abysmal Chaos Body, Fortuniel can feel that the host has more than two physiques. With the Avatar Dragon Body and the Abysmal Chaos Body, you can freely control the five basic elements of heaven and earth: flame, water, gale, earth, and wood.

“With these, the host could fuse them and form some other elements, except for those that were independently superior such as the rules of time, space, or karma. Hence, this explains why the host could comprehend several types of rules. Other than that, the host has other physiques that even Fortuniel could not examine—perhaps until the next upgrade.”

“I see,” Yang Lujia replied, but he was not convinced. He had truly wondered about this fact about him comprehending these rules like butter. Even the rules of devouring were quickly grasped by him—and it was just on par with the rules of the soul.

Nonetheless, he decided to leave these things for the meantime and focus more on the things at hand.

“Why are you in a daze?! Answer me! How do you know about the rules that I can control?! There shouldn’t be anyone who could use the rules of the soul in the Autonomous Region other than me. This is one of the rarest rules to control!”

Yang Lujia just shook his head and looked at the delusional-looking Ming Ze. “Ming Chen, right?”

“Fuck! I’m so angry! What Ming Chen?! I am Ming Ze!”

Yang Lujia slapped his forehead, helpless about his forgetfulness in recalling names. “Alright, Ming Ze or whatever, what are you doing here? Why is someone from the Autonomous Region coming here to cause trouble?”

Facing Yang Lujia’s question, Ming Ze’s body turned stiff, especially while being stared at by the other party as though he was going to die sooner or later. “You… aren’t you from the Autonomous Region as well?”

“No, I am from the lower realm,” Yang Lujia replied with arms crossed over his chest. “Why does it matter, though? Even if I am from the Autonomous Region, it’s not like everyone from that region is my friend.”

On the side, Cai Hong had a look of disbelief on his face. Carefully spreading his mental power, he tried to probe into Yang Lujia’s dantian, but he could only see a hollow space, a dark one.

Then, an invisible pressure on his mental power shoved him out of this space. Taking some steps back, he held his chest and forced out blood from his mouth.

STRONG!

SO STRONG!

That was the kind of mental power he would never even reach even in his lifetime.

“Oh? It’s my first time encountering someone who could use mental power like me,” Yang Lujia said as he looked at Cai Hong playfully. When he saw Cai Hong’s face, he was amused. “This kid’s temperament is quite interesting.”

“Senior, I apologized for what I just did there just now. I just want to know how strong you are. Now that I know you are very strong, just please pretend like you didn’t see me here or I didn’t know the two of them.” Cai Hong forced himself to stand up and cupped his hands.

“Oh?”

“Cai Hong!” Ming Ze was instantly enraged after hearing his junior brother’s submission.

“Junior brother, you really are gutsy! You’re just disparaging our master’s reputation by doing that!” Hai Tao complained.

Cai Hong just scoffed at them. “Hai Tao, if you want to die, don’t drag me into your mess. Moreover, when did I damage the master’s reputation? These people didn’t even know him.”
