3.45% Soul Land II (Douluo Dalu): The Unrivaled Tang Sect / Chapter 22: Chapter 21: The Integration of the Triplet Martial Soul?

章 22: Chapter 21: The Integration of the Triplet Martial Soul?

Skydream Ice Silkworm said indifferently, "Idiot, of course. Haven't you thought about it? Even with Twin Martial Souls, it is impossible for one to withstand the pressure of a thousand-year soul ring at level 20, as you humans describe it. It is precisely because he has three Martial Souls, each improving his physique, that he can possess a thousand-year soul ring at level 20. The guy you're holding, to use human terms, is a super genius that appears only once in ten thousand years."

Huo Yuhao had never imagined that Wang Dong would have triplet Martial Souls. No wonder he had once said that in a one-on-one scenario, Xiao Xiao would be no match for him. No wonder he possessed such intense confidence. Although he was only at the two-ring level, he had never shown a look of admiration towards anyone. He had not expected Wang Dong's talent to be this extraordinary.

"Silly boy, what's there to be amazed about? In a sense, you also have triplet Martial Souls! Moreover, don't forget, your first soul ring is the unprecedented million-year Soul Ring. I am certain that there's not a second million-year soul beast on the entire Soul Land. Thus, although he is a peerless genius, you are truly one of a kind. Have some confidence in yourself. Just like now, with me, a wisdom Soul Ring without precedent, I will make sure you take the initiative during the Martial Soul Fusion. Relax your body and leave everything to me."

As he spoke, a cool sensation rapidly spread from the top of Huo Yuhao's head throughout his body. Within this coolness, his perception of his surroundings greatly enhanced.

It was like he had performed Spiritual Detection. Everything in the room took on a three-dimensional shape, with various colors changing. Huo Yuhao finally saw the color changes on Wang Dong's body. Gold, blue-gold, dark gold—these three colors alternated in flickering. Meanwhile, his own body displayed white, ice-blue, and gray, with the three colors continuously changing.

As Skydream Ice Silkworm had said, their Martial Souls were an incredibly good match. Whenever the color on Huo Yuhao's body turned white, the color on Wang Dong's body would turn gold, then ice-blue to blue-gold, and gray to dark gold.

The three pairs of colors coordinated with each other harmoniously.

However, when Skydream Ice Silkworm began to take action, Huo Yuhao's eyes quietly turned a light ice-blue color, different from the previous time when it had helped him resist Ma Xiaotao's terrifying Phoenix Flame. This time, Skydream Ice Silkworm merely infused a bit of strength into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit without directly controlling his body, guiding the breath in Huo Yuhao to start undergoing various changes.

Gradually, it was noticeable that Huo Yuhao's aura began to strengthen quietly. In a Martial Soul Fusion process that was completely involuntary like this, a change in one party's aura would inevitably lead to a reaction in the other's.

Wang Dong's aura immediately strengthened in response, and at that moment, a strong spiritual fluctuation was released from Huo Yuhao's body. It simultaneously shook both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, and at almost the same moment, the two of them passed out and fell onto the bed laid with fur covers that Wang Dong had been on.

A sly chuckle from Skydream Ice Silkworm sounded, "Next, watch me work. There's a primary and secondary aspect in Martial Soul Fusion, and it's always good to take the initiative and benefit a little. Eh, this kid Wang Dong is actually… Since that's the case, I'll take it easy and not take too much advantage."

Strands of ice-blue threads began to slowly drift out from Huo Yuhao's ten fingers, swiftly enveloping both his and Wang Dong's bodies. Upon close observation, one would notice that these threads were all made of soul power, and definitely not Huo Yuhao's soul power. With his level of cultivation, the idea of materializing soul power was far beyond his reach.

Gradually, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, holding each other, had turned into a huge cocoon.

Skydream Ice Silkworm, being a silkworm, naturally had the innate ability to form cocoons. The aura of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong was immediately concentrated within the ice-blue cocoon, constantly traveling and transforming within their bodies.

A proud voice from Skydream Ice Silkworm transmitted, "Success, let them continue like this. A perfect fusion, one hundred percent. Triplet Martial Soul Fusion. I refuse to believe I can't force out that gray shy turtle. If you have the guts, break out of your shell and battle me for three hundred rounds. Hmph, hmph, hmph."

The dormitory reverted to peace, with only the ice-blue giant cocoon shimmering in the strange light. Outside of the cocoon, not a single wave of soul power emerged, while the two people inside, slept very deeply, very deeply.

Time ticked away second by second, and this day was the only day Huo Yuhao did not sell grilled fish.

Xiao Xiao had waited for a long time for the two, but she hadn't seen them come out of the dormitory. And just like male students can't enter the girls' dormitory as they please, female students can't just walk into the boys' dormitory either! Left without a choice, she had to return to her own dormitory to rest.

Tang Ya, on the other hand, dragged Bei Bei to wait at Shrek Academy's gate to enjoy the grilled fish from Huo Yuhao. When Huo Yuhao didn't show up, they didn't find it too strange. After all, they had heard about the rules of the freshman assessment. The rules changed every year, and this year's were particularly tough! They even managed to find out about the condition of Huo Yuhao and his group during the assessment. Since Huo Yuhao hadn't set up his stall, they naturally assumed he was too exhausted from the assessment process, so they didn't think much of it and returned to their dormitory after waiting for a while.

The disappointment of not getting the grilled fish wasn't only theirs. Jiang Nannan had also arrived early to line up today. Sadly, she too had to leave disappointed in the end.

But none of them knew just how important this day was for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. After three months as classmates, their relationship had undergone a substantial change within this single day.

...

At Sea God's Lake, on Lake Heart Island, by the lake.

Teacher Wang Yan, who had just been conducting the freshman assessment not long ago, was standing here. However, the expression on his face was one of utmost respect at this moment.

Not far ahead of him, a disheveled elder was sitting there, his appearance truly a mess. The clothes that should have been a white robe were now gray-brown and torn in many places; his hair was also unkempt. His unshod feet soaked in the cool waters of Sea God's Lake, his right hand holding a huge calabash.

The calabash was purplish-red, its material unknown. He occasionally lifted it for a drink, and a strong aroma of liquor would waft through the air. In his other hand, he grasped a roast chicken, not minding the grease, alternating between sips of wine and bites of meat as he ate and drank.

"Elder Xuan, that's how it is. Although these students are young and just freshmen, they are indeed noteworthy," said Wang Yan.

"Hmm..." The slovenly elder known as Elder Xuan swallowed a mouthful of chicken before turning to glance at Wang Yan. Surprisingly, for all his aged appearance, his eyes were exceptionally bright. However, they were a shocking crimson, giving off a heart-palpitating sensation. His gaze was scattered, though, and even a bit vacant, as if he hadn't really been listening to Wang Yan's words.

"Self martial soul, that is somewhat interesting," Elder Xuan murmured, his voice hoarse and aged.

Wang Yan asked, "Elder Xuan, does hair martial soul count as a self martial soul?"

While eating and drinking, Elder Xuan replied, "Sort of."

Wang Yan said, "If that's the case, the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo should deserve your attention. These two young girls can also use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so if it has something to do with a self martial soul, their potential for future development should be very strong."

Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "Hair? No good. You claim to be a researcher of theory, but how can you be so ignorant about self martial souls?"

Wang Yan gave a wry smile and said, "I really don't have any subjects to study! Information about self martial souls is rarer still. The Body Sect has always remained secluded from the world."

Elder Xuan chuckled and stood up, his wet feet stepping casually and comfortably on the grass. "Then let me teach you to be clever, to distinguish the strength of a self martial soul, one must look at the importance of this part of the Martial Soul to the body. The more important this part of the body is for the human body, the better the self martial soul. Thus, what truly caught my interest was that spirit eyes youth. Hair, if lost, can grow back, but what about eyes? Besides, he's of the spiritual attribute. That is to say, his Martial Soul is actually his eyes and brain. You're in luck to have seen the top-tier self martial soul in your lifetime. However, I believe that his self martial soul has not been fully awakened, otherwise, how could he have resorted to using a 10 year soul ring? Tell Xiaoning to reserve a spot for me during the newcomer assessment ranking competition. I will come and watch."

"Yes."

...

Night gradually fell, and the ice-blue halo in the dorm room of Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao continued to shimmer quietly.

Evening deepened into night, and time passed silently, while the aura of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong underwent subtle yet miraculous changes. The colors of their aura intertwined and fused even more. Even their soul power began to enter each other's bodies, forming a bizarre circulation, traveling along different paths with every change of the colored aura.

If it were anyone else entering a state of Martial Soul Fusion, the fusion would take at least three days and nights. But with the help of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, they saved much time as it guided the flow of their soul power during the fusion based on the induction of their auras.

The night passed without words, and it gradually dawned.

The ice-blue cocoon slowly faded, revealing the situation inside. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were still hugging each other tightly, the changing colors of their aura had disappeared, and they lay face to face, their breaths audible to each other, sleeping very soundly.

This was the first time Huo Yuhao had not gotten up early for cultivation since coming to Shrek Academy, and also the first time he had not gone for breakfast.

Soon, the outdoors of the dorm became lively, with other students already up and busily washing up.

The bustling sounds gradually disturbed the two deeply sleeping individuals, with Wang Dong being the first to move.

"Hmm," Wang Dong murmured lazily with a hint of delicate tenderness. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself face to face with Huo Yuhao.

He was first stunned, and then he moved his body, only to realize that he was being held tightly by Huo Yuhao, their chests and bellies fully pressed together, and from time to time, a warm sensation came from Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong felt that he had slept for a very long time, a feeling he had never experienced before. Aside from a trace of peculiarity, he felt an even greater sense of panic.

"Huo Yuhao, wake up," he struggled gently, trying to free himself from Huo Yuhao's grasp around his waist, but perhaps because they had maintained this pose for too long, both their bodies were somewhat stiff, making it difficult to withdraw his hand, let alone Huo Yuhao's.

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao finally woke up from his sleep and also saw Wang Dong in front of him. Their distance was extremely close; it was only by Wang Dong deliberately tilting his head back that their noses were finally not touching. But when Wang Dong blinked, Huo Yuhao felt like those long eyelashes of his brushed against his face.

"Why are you so close to me?" Huo Yuhao said instinctively, his breath hitting Wang Dong's face as he spoke.

"You..." Wang Dong was furious, abruptly struggling to pull back his arms, his hands grabbing Huo Yuhao's shoulders and pulling backwards as he lifted his supple long legs and wedged them between himself and Huo Yuhao, creating a distance.

As soon as Yuhao woke up, he subconsciously released the arms that were hugging Wang Dong. Now separated by Wang Dong's leg, he finally fully awoke from his slumber. However, what Wang Dong did next made him even more alert...

In the dormitory, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had single beds. Wang Dong exerted force in his separating leg and, in an instant, Huo Yuhao was kicked off, landing on the ground with a "thud".

"Ouch, Wang Dong, what are you doing?" Huo Yuhao, completely unprepared, was thrown solidly to the floor and was instantly in great pain, his face filled with anger.

Wang Dong, slightly panting, sat up on his bed and straightened out his disheveled clothes before angrily retorting, "What do you mean, what am I doing? Why did you sleep on my bed last night?"

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao now realized that he had been kicked off Wang Dong's bed. Speechless for a moment, he thought to himself, Brother Heavenly Dream, oh Brother Heavenly Dream, you've really done me in. Didn't you know this guy is a clean freak? Why did you let me fall asleep?

Although that was what he was thinking, he retorted, "You can't blame me for this, look, didn't you also fall asleep?"

Wang Dong snorted angrily, about to say something more when suddenly, a piercing bell rang, startling them both.

"It's time for class, this is bad, we're late. Let's go." Huo Yuhao immediately leaped up from the ground, pulled Wang Dong, and dashed out.

Wang Dong also realized they were in trouble and, putting his anger aside, had no choice but to follow Huo Yuhao and run out as well.

Both of them had not only missed breakfast but didn't even have time to wash up, running at top speed to the classroom building. They knew all too well what kind of temper Teacher Zhou had; being late for class was no different from suicide.

Their appearance was indeed a bit disheveled, Wang Dong somewhat less so since he had tidied up his clothes when he had kicked Huo Yuhao to the floor. Huo Yuhao, however, was much more unkempt; half of his shirt was tucked into his pants while the other half hung outside, and not to mention his hair was a mess. Moreover, the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, exposing a patch of bronzed chest. As he ran, his clothes fluttered in the wind.

However, right now, neither of them could care less about their appearance; they just wanted to get to the classroom as quickly as possible, doing their best to prevent Teacher Zhou from getting angry. They were already late after all!

Within a minute, they had arrived at the door of the first-year class.

"Reporting." Huo Yuhao called out robustly.

"Reporting." Wang Dong's voice was somewhat softer, almost feeble. Sneaking a glance at Huo Yuhao in front of him, his expression was clearly complex. He fiercely lifted his hand and gave Huo Yuhao a twist on his waist.

Huo Yuhao's face suddenly changed, but as he was already in the doorway and saw Teacher Zhou approaching them, he swallowed back the scream that was on the tip of his tongue.

All the other students had already arrived, and Zhou Yi's eyes actually flashed with a hint of a smile when she saw Huo Yuhao's disheveled appearance, but Huo Yuhao, tormented by back pain, was so detail-oriented that he failed to notice.

"You two, what's going on? Get inside," Zhou Yi beckoned to them.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong hurried into the classroom. Wang Dong, being considerate, even closed the door behind them.

Xiao Xiao had arrived early and couldn't help but widen her eyes at their bedraggled state. She moved her lips at them without making a sound. By reading her lips, it seemed she was asking: Good heavens! What did you two do last night?

Every eye in the class was focused on them, especially on their disheveled class president.

Zhou Yi asked in her usual icy voice, "My dear Class President, tell me, what is this all about?"

"Eh... Sorry, Teacher Zhou, we overslept," Huo Yuhao said with an embarrassed face. Now he could only admit his mistake, whatever punishment Zhou Yi gave, they would have to accept it.

"Who slept with whom? You actually overslept?" Zhou Yi seldom joked.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback, and Wang Dong's face turned red instantly. They had hit the nail on the head...

The class continued in silence, but this time, it lasted only three seconds before everyone erupted into laughter.

Wang Dong, his head lowered, wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into. This was so embarrassing. It was also at this moment that he noticed Huo Yuhao's unkempt state and truly wished he could slap him to death! That damn fool, making me lose all face.

Zhou Yi actually laughed too, and although her aged face looked uglier when she smiled than cried, Huo Yuhao was sure that she was indeed smiling.

Zhou Yi raised her hand—her authority as a superior teacher was undeniable—as the laughter immediately quieted down, but the amusement in the eyes of the first-year students was something even Teacher Zhou couldn't control.

"Alright, back to your seats," Zhou Yi waved her hand, showing an unusual generosity by letting them off the hook.

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both instinctively raised their heads, thinking they had heard wrong.

Zhou Yi glared, "What? You slept so deeply that you can't even understand human speech now?"

It was then that Huo Yuhao realized, he tugged at Wang Dong's sleeve, and the two of them sheepishly returned to their seats. Yet, feeling the teasing gazes around them, they found it hard to lift their heads.

Fortunately, this was a class of freshmen. All the students were eleven or twelve years old, and their only thoughts on who slept with whom were that it seemed amusing, without any deeper implications. Had this happened in the senior classes of the outer courtyard and been embellished by a few fujoshi, it would have caused even greater uproar.

Zhou Yi returned to the lectern and said indifferently, "After three days, the freshman assessment has come to an end. The final results came out last night."

At these words, all the first-class students immediately perked up, not every group had the absolute confidence to pass the assessment like Huo Yuhao's group did.

Zhou Yi's aged face broke into a less-than-pleasing smile for the second time that day, "I must say, you've all worked hard and made me proud. All twenty-two groups from our class who participated in the assessment passed the freshman test. I'm gratified."

"Boom—" The entire freshman class one erupted in cheers, and this time, Zhou Yi didn't stop them, but instead watched with a smile as the kids cheered and jumped for joy.

They truly had the right to cheer! All the judging teachers and the homeroom teachers of the ten freshman classes had gathered last night to summarize the results.

Almost all the judging teachers commended the students from class one, acknowledging their resilience compared to students from other classes. During the intensive assessment competitions, they demonstrated remarkable willpower and combat power, achieving the most turnarounds from defeat to victory. Most notably, the students from class one won almost every evenly matched contest.

Zhou Yi, since becoming a teacher at Shrek Academy, received public praise from the academy for the first time. Although class one initially had the fewest students, after the round-robin matches, half of the freshmen participating in the assessments were eliminated, making class one the class with the most students among the ten freshman classes.

No matter how strict Zhou Yi was, today was a great day, which is why Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were let off the hook despite their tardiness.

"Quiet down," Zhou Yi allowed the celebrations to continue for quite a while before signaling for silence again.

"Passing the assessment only ensures that you can stay in the academy, at least until the end of the first grade without being easily eliminated. But that's just the first grade. If you slack off in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you all in the second grade. And keep in mind, it's just passing the freshman assessment. There's nothing too exciting about it. Out of the twenty-two groups from our class, fourteen have not finished their assessments because they have entered the top sixty-four and must compete in the upcoming knockout matches. The knockout matches are where you'll truly prove your excellence."

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finally raised their heads in surprise. All twenty-two competing groups from their first-year class had passed the assessment, and fourteen had even made it into the top sixty-four. This meant their class had taken up one-fifth of the top sixty-four spots, about twice as many as the other classes combined. Such results were indeed something to be proud of!

Zhou Yi continued, "In the round-robin matches of this freshman assessment, six groups achieved perfect victories. In our class, there was only one group. I had intended to give them some class rewards, but unfortunately, they were late to today's class. Therefore, with merits offsetting faults, there will be neither reward nor punishment."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong became the focus of the class once again, each filled with frustration. They exchanged a look, and upon doing so, both were stunned.

As they looked towards each other, they could clearly sense their own soul power fluctuating subtly, an indescribable sense of kinship spontaneously emerging, even pulling them toward wanting to embrace each other again.

At that moment, they both simultaneously remembered the cause of last night's embrace and consequently sleeping together in Wang Dong's bed.

Wang Dong whispered, "Could it be that we actually succeeded?"

Huo Yuhao felt much more certain about the answer in his heart than he had let on, because he had the Skydream Ice Silkworm to communicate with after all! He couldn't appear too confident, yet his eyes couldn't help but betray his eager anticipation.

"Maybe. Shall we try it after class ends?"

"Mhm."

The two almost nodded in unison, and that indescribable sense of tacit understanding sprouted between them. Even without Shared Spiritual Detection, they seemed to sense what the other was about to do—similar to the connection between twins. This feeling was both wonderful and oddly special.

"Boom—" A loud noise jolted Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong from their tacit understanding. They looked up simultaneously, only to see Teacher Zhou with an angry expression on her face.

Uh... They were caught daydreaming in class.

"You two, get out and run laps wearing metal shirts, and don't you stop until the class bell rings. Getting a little accomplished and you're already complacent."

Injustice! Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong silently cried out in their hearts, but they knew when Teacher Zhou made a decision, she wouldn't change her mind. With no other choice, they dejectedly left the classroom to get their metal shirts from the dormitory.

Watching the two leave with dejected faces, Teacher Zhou snorted and said, "Remember this, no matter how much you achieve, you must maintain a humble and cautious heart. Arrogance not only leads to regression but could also cost you your lives. The elimination round starts tomorrow, let me briefly tell you what to look out for."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were destined not to hear Teacher Zhou's explanation, but fortunately, Xiao Xiao was there. Teacher Zhou didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was that Xiao Xiao was to relay the message to them.

"It's all your fault." As soon as they left the teaching building, Wang Dong exploded, angrily accusing Huo Yuhao.

With an aggrieved expression, Huo Yuhao replied, "How can this be my fault? It was you who insisted on me carrying you yesterday."

"What did you say?" Wang Dong's eyes glinted with cold light as he glared at Huo Yuhao through clenched teeth.

"Er... We're a team; we should stick together," Huo Yuhao earnestly said, looking at Wang Dong's clenched fists.

"Stick together my foot, you got me punished, now you tell me what we should do." Wang Dong said with a face full of anger, "And what about you sleeping in my bed last night? What about that?"

Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder, then wrapped an arm around his neck, "Come on, we're brothers. Are we really going to hold a grudge over something so trivial? Let's better hurry up and finish Teacher Zhou's task to avoid her wrath."

The moment Huo Yuhao wrapped his arm around him, Wang Dong was momentarily taken aback, and Huo Yuhao's voice grew quieter. When he finished that sentence, both of them stopped in their tracks, and Huo Yuhao instinctively looked at his hand, as did Wang Dong.

"How could this be?" they exclaimed in unison.

Indeed, a strange phenomenon had occurred to both of them. When Huo Yuhao's hand wrapped around Wang Dong's neck, it was as if their bodies were connected, and Huo Yuhao's Soul Power naturally flowed into Wang Dong's body, and Wang Dong's Soul Power slowly flowed back. It was as if they had become one entity. Although the connection was only between Wang Dong's neck and Huo Yuhao's arm, the sensation was very clear.

"No, let's try again."

Huo Yuhao withdrew the arm around Wang Dong and grabbed his hands instead.

Wang Dong's hands were surprisingly soft and smooth, very comfortable to hold. However, Huo Yuhao wasn't in the mood to enjoy it at the moment.

The instant their hands clasped together, the soul power from Huo Yuhao's Mystic Sky Method surged forth, moving swiftly from his right hand into Wang Dong's left, then his left hand seemed to have a pulling force, drawing Wang Dong's Soul Power into his body. The soul power circulation between the two quickened, at least doubling the speed of Huo Yuhao's previous cultivation.

Being a genius himself, Wang Dong immediately realized what was happening, "Try controlling it and inject into your body." While speaking, he withdrew his left hand from Huo Yuhao's grasp, so only his soul power flowed into Huo Yuhao.

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao felt his soul power increasing at an astonishing rate, a sense of power he had never felt before pervading his body.

His meridians, having been transformed by the Profound Water Pill and nourished by the Mystic Sky Method, had reached the peak of what others his age could endure. Although there was a great influx of soul power, he didn't feel overwhelmed.

The two shared an unspoken understanding. Huo Yuhao immediately employed his Shared Spiritual Detection, enveloping Wang Dong within it.

Wang Dong closed his eyes, allowing himself to embrace this oddity, and suddenly, he noticed the scope of Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection expanding rapidly.

Already, Huo Yuhao's Shared Spiritual Detection had surpassed a diameter of sixty meters, and he was capable of approximately a hundred meters in a straight-line detection. But now, with Wang Dong's soul power supplementing him, the range swiftly reached beyond a diameter of one hundred meters in a very short time.

With their eyes wide open in shock, Huo Yuhao asked with a trembling voice, "Wang Dong, have you ever heard of two soul masters who can perform Martial Soul Fusion Skills being able to infuse each other with their soul power for temporary use?"

Wang Dong shook his head in bewilderment, murmuring, "How is this possible? Could it be that our attempt yesterday really succeeded?"

Huo Yuhao said eagerly, "Shall we find a place to try it out?"

Just then, from a window of the nearby teaching building, an angry roar erupted, "What are you two doing holding hands and romancing each other for? Hurry up and put on those metal shirts and start running!"


章 23: Chapter 22 Haodong's Power

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were startled and quickly let go of each other's hands, racing back to the dorm like flying. Their hearts, however, were thumping violently, and of course, it was not because of the phrase "falling in love" that Zhou Yi had shouted, but because of the bizarre changes that had occurred between their Martial Souls!

Once back in the dorm, they exchanged a glance, both seeing the flicker of astonishment in each other's eyes. Indeed! The phenomenon that had just occurred was too peculiar, both for Huo Yuhao, who had learnt much about Soul Masters in the past few months at Shrek Academy, and for the knowledgeable Wang Dong. It was their first time learning of such an occurrence, clearly beyond the realm of a normal Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but say, "It seems that last night's sleep wasn't wasted after all!"

"Tch," snorted Wang Dong, giving him a glare but quickly raised his own long, slender hands, "Let's try again."

Huo Yuhao, eager to verify whether the earlier phenomenon was real, quickly reached out his hands to grasp Wang Dong's.

Their four hands joined, and immediately, the flow of their Soul Power resumed. Their Soul Powers were different—Huo Yuhao's Mysterious Heaven Method's soul power was calm and mellow, naturally flowing. Wang Dong's soul power was much more domineering, with a sharp and noble aura.

If Huo Yuhao's soul power could be compared to a gentle and honest young man, then Wang Dong's would be more like a noble and aloof young lady, haughty and disdainful.

Such distinctly different temperaments of Soul Power were now circling each other, flowing perfectly within their bodies. Moreover, as they circulated, the two types of Soul Power were quietly merging. There was a bit of you in me and a bit of me in you, indistinguishable from each other, without the slightest hint of conflict, as if they were originally one entity.

Huo Yuhao fared rather well, as his Mysterious Heaven Method's soul power was very smooth, whereas Wang Dong was filled with shock, knowing full well how domineering and powerful his soul power was, with a strong exclusivity. The scene before him greatly exceeded the range of his understanding.

Just like this, after circulating for a moment, both felt refreshed. It was evident that if they continued to cultivate while holding hands, they would progress much faster than if they were cultivating separately. Moreover, they both deeply felt that this was just the beginning. If their Soul Powers could merge so perfectly, what they could derive from it was surely much more than simple joint cultivation.

"Let's go, we should start with a run, and we'll study this carefully tonight," Huo Yuhao suggested as he let go of Wang Dong's hand, throwing on his metal shirts and heading outside.

However, Wang Dong hesitated for a moment after hearing his words, his lips twitching slightly. Huo Yuhao's words, coupled with the unexpected embrace as they slept together last night, inevitably gave him a strange feeling. He made a punching gesture behind Huo Yuhao's back before grabbing the metal shirts and following him out.

Running in metal shirts had been ongoing for three months, so by now, they were used to it. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong ran diligently until the bell for the end of class rang, and only stopped when Xiao Xiao came to the field to find them. Xiao Xiao told them that Teacher Zhou had already left.

Huo Yuhao was drenched in sweat, while Wang Dong, whose cultivation was significantly higher, didn't even break a sweat as he deliberately controlled his body.

"How did it go? What did Teacher Zhou say?" Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Xiao, panting.

Xiao Xiao shrugged and said, "Actually, it wasn't much. She just encouraged everyone, instilling a 'Man blocks, kill the man; God blocks, kill the god' spirit, and then analyzed our opponents. Our chances of winning the championship are quite slim. It seems that the round-robin tournament was just a rehearsal, but our Shrek Academy has never lacked for geniuses!"

Seeing her somewhat worried expression, Wang Dong spoke nonchalantly, "What's the matter? Even our Twin Martial Souls genius has lost confidence?"

Xiao Xiao curled her lips and said, "Of course I'm confident. However, I have to say that there really are some people with better talents than us. Teacher Zhou just mentioned that among the other five teams who have won all their matches in the rounds, there are three teams that have a three-ring Soul Venerable. Facing a three-ring, how much confidence can you have?"

"Soul Venerable?" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong almost exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xiao Xiao gave a wry smile, "Exactly. Otherwise, why do you think I would feel so lacking in confidence?"

Huo Yuhao asked, "What did Teacher Zhou say?"

Xiao Xiao replied, "Teacher Zhou also didn't seem too pleased when she mentioned those three groups. It seems she had just recently found out about this as well. Those three classes had never revealed that they had Soul Venerable students before. They, like you, were all specially recruited students."

Hearing this, Wang Dong laughed and said to Huo Yuhao, "Look, we're all specially recruited students, so why is there such a big gap?"

Huo Yuhao was rendered speechless for a moment and then said, "What's the use of talking about this? What we need to think about is how to overcome the enemy and win. That's the key."

Xiao Xiao said, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. Those three guys are the leaders of their respective teams and are obviously not easy to deal with. Think about it, for someone to break through to the state of three rings before the age of twelve, how strong must their self Martial Soul be? Plus, they definitely have a family that supports them fully. Their Soul Rings must also be of the utmost degree. Even if they're not as abnormal as Wang Dong, with a Millennium level second soul ring, they can't be far off. I see, even Teacher Zhou doesn't seem to have much hope for us. I reckon we can only aim for fourth place at best."

Wang Dong snorted and said, "So what if they have three rings? Is a Soul Venerable unbeatable? We also have our advantages, your Twin Martial Souls, and my combat power that hasn't been fully utilized yet. Add to that Yuhao's self Martial Soul and Spirit Martial Soul. The three of us working together might not necessarily be weaker than others."

Xiao Xiao said, "Do you think I don't want to get first place? Only the top three get real rewards. Fourth place gets nothing. But the truth is, our overall strength really is lower than theirs! Think about it, a student of Soul Venerable level, their teammates must at least be Grand Soul Masters like us, right? We do have our own advantages, but unless our class leader also breaks through level 20 and possesses a powerful spiritual attribute soul skill, then maybe we'll have a bit of hope."

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao, then at Wang Dong, and said earnestly, "Don't panic just yet. It's true that our overall strength might not measure up to our opponents, but if we lose confidence now, we won't have even a sliver of a chance. Xiao Xiao, remember how tough it was when we faced the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo? Still, we ultimately won the match. The power of the Fusion Skill they displayed was no less than that of a Soul Venerable level soul skill, perhaps even more powerful. Yet we managed to hold on. Others have their strong points, and we have ours too, and one of our advantages is that we still have hidden strengths. We have only one goal, and that is to be champions."

Encouraged by Huo Yuhao's words, Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Let's give it a try, and fight with everything we've got. Let's work hard together!"

Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand. Wang Dong rushed to put his palm on top of Yuhao's before Xiao Xiao, who then could only place her hand on top of Wang Dong's.

"We are the champions, definitely."

Huo Yuhao said, "Xiao Xiao, I'm afraid I'll have to owe you that grilled fish for a few more days. The upcoming elimination rounds are too important for us. No matter what, we need to focus on improving our cultivation these next few days. Even a slight improvement could increase our chances of winning. After the elimination rounds, I'll make sure you have enough grilled fish. I won't set up my stall these few days. Let's focus on cultivation first."

With a giggle, Xiao Xiao said, "Debts are supposed to come with interest. Leader, I'm sticking to you, and from now on, I won't be paying for your grilled fish."

Huo Yuhao laughed heartily and said, "No problem, I can still afford to treat you to grilled fish."

Xiao Xiao said, "Teacher Zhou mentioned that we should gather in the assessment area before the bell rings for class tomorrow. She also asked me to tell you two, not to be late. The first thing we need to pray for is luck. However, Teacher Zhou said, teams like us who have won all their matches in the round-robin competition will have some privileges in the first two rounds of the eliminations, and won't encounter each other. That's the only benefit we get from performing well in the round-robin. As long as we play normally, reaching the top sixteen shouldn't be a problem. What happens after that will depend on us."

Huo Yuhao said, "That's actually good news, okay then, I'm all sweaty, I need to go back and take a shower before dinner."

Xiao Xiao said, "Then I won't wait for you two, I'll head to the cafeteria first, see you tomorrow." With that, she waved at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, turned around, and left.

Huo Yuhao turned to Wang Dong with a slight frown and said, "It seems, getting good results in the elimination rounds won't be easy. Let's head back to the dorm first. I'll take a shower and change clothes, and after dinner, we can study the Martial Soul Fusion issue properly."

"Mhm," Wang Dong nodded but seemed somewhat silent, even lost in thought, not knowing what was on his mind. Back in the dorm, Huo Yuhao got his clean clothes and towel and went to take a shower. Wang Dong sat on his bed alone, waiting for him.

"Bang." The door closed. Wang Dong subconsciously looked up at the dormitory door, the blankness in his eyes gradually revealing a hint of complexity.

Because of being late that morning, he hadn't had the chance to settle the matter with Huo Yuhao about sleeping in his bed last night. Huo Yuhao now acted as if nothing had happened, but Wang Dong felt completely different.

I... I actually slept with him the entire night, and, it seems, we even completed the Martial Soul Fusion, and it wasn't just an ordinary fusion.

Wang Dong didn't know what he was feeling at the moment, just that his heart was a bit chaotic, so much so that he didn't know what to do.

While lost in thought, time always seemed to fly by, and soon enough, Huo Yuhao came back fresh and clean from his shower. As he entered, he brought with him a faint fragrance from the bath. Wang Dong looked up just in time to see Huo Yuhao's especially bright spirit eyes.

Huo Yuhao, still unaware of Wang Dong's change in mood, gestured to him, "Come on, let's quickly go have dinner, and after we return, we can study the Martial Soul Fusion. Maybe, our best chance at securing a good result lies with this move." At this moment, he was completely focused on the freshmen elimination assessment.

Wang Dong's somewhat perplexed emotions seemed to find a target as he nodded and said, "Alright." What had happened, happened. Dwelling on it was pointless. It was better to focus on performing well in this assessment. When Xiao Xiao mentioned there were a few Soul Venerable level freshmen, it had also ignited Wang Dong's fighting spirit.

He firmly believed that his potential was no less than those Soul Venerable level freshmen; it was just due to his inherent laziness and his reluctance to cultivate from a young age that he had not reached that level. Level didn't mean everything. Defeating them would prove his excellence.

Once he had realized this, he no longer dwelled on his troubles. He and Huo Yuhao went to the cafeteria and had a hearty meal. Since they went quite late, by the time they finished eating, the cafeteria was already empty.

Back in the dorm, Huo Yuhao locked the door to prevent anyone from disturbing them while they were cultivating and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside. Each dorm had one of these signs, and hanging it meant that even teachers would not knock on the door lightly since it indicated that the students inside were cultivating.

Yet, Huo Yuhao's usually normal behavior now made Wang Dong feel slightly embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted himself. By the time Huo Yuhao turned around, Wang Dong's expression had returned to normal.

"How do we start?" Wang Dong asked Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said, "Let's try cultivating together for a while first. This can help us to achieve better fusion effects with our soul power, and become more familiar with each other's abilities. Then we can try to use the fused soul power to amplify each of our soul skills. Tonight, we'll go outside the academy and test our Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Wang Dong curled his lip, "You seem to have everything figured out."

Huo Yuhao laughed, "Of course, I am the class president after all. Isn't it normal for me to be organized? Come on." While speaking, he was about to sit on Wang Dong's bed.

"What are you doing?" Wang Dong pushed him back.

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "Cultivating! How can we cultivate if we don't sit cross-legged?"

Wang Dong stood up, pointed to Huo Yuhao's bed, and said, "Go cultivate on your own bed."

Huo Yuhao was speechless, "If you don't mind a sore butt, I don't care."

Wang Dong clearly saw that Huo Yuhao's face had turned slightly unpleasant. Indeed, Huo Yuhao was a bit unhappy. In his view, after being friends for so long, Wang Dong was still being petty, which seemed rather small-minded to him.

Yet, Wang Dong insisted on his own way, and the two sat down on Huo Yuhao's bed. Once seated, Wang Dong felt somewhat dejected. Indeed, compared to his own bed, which was laid with fur mattresses, this simple hard plank bed couldn't be more uncomfortable! But he could only endure it. Last night the two of them had accidentally slept on his bed, it wouldn't be right to ask Huo Yuhao to go to his bed again.

Huo Yuhao was quite generous. After a brief moment of dissatisfaction, his emotions soon returned to normal. He thought to himself, let it be. Everyone has their own living habits and we should respect each other. With that thought, the slight resentment in his heart also dissipated.

Wang Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao and realized he was also looking back. He felt a little flustered and somewhat apologetic, so he quickly raised his palms and said, "Let's start. Just as you said, we'll cultivate till dinnertime and see what the effects are like."

Huo Yuhao also lifted his palms to meet his, and as soon as they made physical contact, their soul power immediately began to attract each other and fuse. The two types of soul power circulated within them for just one cycle before they completed the fusion process. Afterwards, what flowed within their bodies was a mix of their differently attributed soul powers.

That morning, when they discovered this remarkable occurrence, there wasn't enough time to experience it carefully. Now, as they settled down to cultivate and gradually began to feel different sensations.

Indeed, just as they had felt before, the speed at which their soul power increased while jointly cultivating was extremely fast. To put it simply, the speed of their individual improvements was equal to the sum of their usual solo cultivation efforts.

In other words, if Huo Yuhao cultivated alone for two hours, his soul power would increase by one unit, and if Wang Dong cultivated alone for the same duration, his soul power would increase by 1.2 units. But now that they were cultivating together, their fused soul powers were enhancing each other's increase. Not only did the mixing speed up the circulation of soul power, but after two hours, each of their soul powers would have increased by 2.2 units.

This meant that Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed had increased by more than double, while Wang Dong also enjoyed a near doubling of his rate of improvement. Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao was reaping more benefits as Wang Dong's cultivation was originally higher. However, once the difference in their cultivation levels narrowed in the future, the benefits they would gain from joint cultivation would become more balanced.

For any Soul Master, doubling the cultivation speed was astoundingly advantageous! According to Huo Yuhao's original plan, he intended to strive to reach level 20 by the time he graduated from the first grade. But with the current pace of cultivation, within three to four more months, it was possible he could achieve that level. As for Wang Dong, if he continued cultivating at this rate until the end of the year, breaking through level 30 wasn't out of the question.

After three rounds of continuous cultivation, when the outside world gradually darkened, they awoke from their meditative state. Their soul powers retreated back into their bodies, and the intertwined different soul powers immediately became clearly separated once more. They both tangibly felt that their cultivation had increased much more than it usually did when practicing alone.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong opened their eyes simultaneously with tacit understanding and immediately saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes. No matter where this state of Martial Soul Fusion came from, it was a great thing for them! Especially for Huo Yuhao, the speed of his improvement was much greater than that of Wang Dong's; he could be said to have gotten the better deal.

The two of them couldn't wait to start trying to amplify their soul skills again, and this time, they discovered another mystery after their Martial Souls had fused.

Each of their skills could be amplified through their fused Martial Souls, and the power of the amplification was immense, not merely as simple as one plus one equals two. When they launched a skill together, not only would the power more than double, but the consumption of Soul Power would be halved. In other words, after they completed the fusion of their two types of Soul Power within their bodies, the consumption when using soul skills would be reduced. This was equivalent to their fused Soul Power becoming a new, highly advanced type of Soul Power.

Therefore, their condition can't be said to be a Martial Soul Fusion. A more accurate term would be Spirit Energy Fusion. What made Wang Dong speechless was that, after the fusion, it was not the stronger-cultivated him who took the initiative.

Once their bodies came into contact and their Soul Power fused, Huo Yuhao would take the dominant position. As long as he willed it, while his body was in contact with Wang Dong's, he could use the fused Soul Power to activate soul skills and unleash great power, regardless of whether Wang Dong cooperated or not. But if Wang Dong wanted to use the fused Soul Power, he needed Huo Yuhao's consent and cooperation. The distinction between primary and secondary was now clear.

"Why is it like this? It's so unfair." Wang Dong said indignantly.

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "I don't know either! But rest assured, whenever you need it, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

Although he said he didn't know, in his heart he had a guess that this situation was probably inseparable from the Skydream Ice Silkworm. Otherwise, why would it be that the less cultivated him ends up taking the initiative after the Soul Power fusion?

"Wang Dong, don't be upset. Since the new type of Soul Power we've created after our Spirit Energy Fusion needs a name, let's name it after you."

Wang Dong chuckled and said, "Forget about it. Call it Wang Dong's Power? That sounds awful. How about we take one character from each of our names? Let's call it Haodong Power."

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said, "It does seem to sound better."

Wang Dong stood up, rubbing his behind and said discontentedly, "This crappy bed of yours is too hard. Tonight when we practice, let's swap to my place. Since you've gotten such a huge advantage from Haodong's Power, you're buying dinner tonight." As he spoke, he walked out, his head slightly tilted back, hands pillowing his head.

Observing him acting as if he didn't care, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh. This guy, so stubborn and proud, but with a really good heart.

"Fine, I'll treat. After all, my money is all from selling grilled fish. If it runs out, we'll use yours." As he said this, he followed after him.

With their shared Haodong Power, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong distinctly felt the relationship between them change. In Huo Yuhao's heart, he and Wang Dong were not just friends and classmates, but brothers. He believed that Wang Dong felt the same. As for whether he did or not, only Wang Dong knew...

While eating dinner, Huo Yuhao also had some doubts in his heart, stemming from his understanding of the Skydream Ice Silkworm. The Skydream Ice Silkworm had once said that as long as his body could withstand it, it would grant him more power of origin, raising the grade of his Soul Rings and bringing his soul skills to their strongest state.

However, every time he and Wang Dong joined forces to bring forth the Haodong Power, the power of each of his soul skills could be greatly enhanced. Even though he could feel the limits of his body approaching, he was still able to endure. If that was the case, then why hadn't the Skydream Ice Silkworm raised his soul skills to this level?

"Idiot," the voice of the Skydream Ice Silkworm resounded in Huo Yuhao's mind while he was puzzled.

"Brother Heavenly Dream, you aren't asleep?" Huo Yuhao immediately became excited and spoke to him in his mind.

The Skydream Ice Silkworm snorted and said, "Of course I'm not asleep; do I look like I love to sleep?"

Huo Yuhao secretly grumbled, if not loving to sleep, how could one sleep for a million years?

The Skydream Ice Silkworm said, "The issue you're worried about is quite simple. Indeed, I did not enhance your Soul Ring to the maximum limit of your body because I cannot have you become an over-inflated balloon. There's a type of fish called the Tiger Pufferfish; its body is covered in spikes, and when it encounters danger, it will inflate instantly, swelling up so that the spikes are fully extended, preventing the enemy from biting. In this state, its spiky defenses are indeed at their strongest. But what if a needle comes at it in that moment? What would happen? You are the same. If I were to enhance your Soul Ring to the strongest level you can withstand, then once struck or if an accident happens during cultivation, you will burst just like an over-inflated balloon. Therefore, the limit that I spoke of, is one that you can fully withstand without any side effects. And when you and Wang Dong merge your soul power, the combination itself will instantly improve your physiques. That's the biggest benefit of the total merging of your two types of soul power that I helped you achieve last night—reaching one hundred percent integration."

"That means, when you merge your soul power, your bodies' endurance will increase because of the integrated soul power, allowing you to carry larger amounts of soul power, and enhancing the potency of your soul skills when used. This is essentially the very secret of Martial Soul Fusion. What differs from normal Soul Masters merging their Martial Souls is that your bodies will continuously improve from the soul power fusion. As long as you continue to practice together, someday, your physiques will become the finest among humans in this world. Your pace of cultivation will also become the fastest."

"Of course, this process of improving your physique will be rather lengthy. If you two can truly merge in the future, the effect will be even better."

Huo Yuhao asked hesitantly, "What do you mean by a 'true merge'?"

The Skydream Ice Silkworm seemed to pause for a moment, then said, "I don't know, I've never tried it myself. Alright, keep experimenting with him. Whether it's soul power fusion or Martial Soul Fusion, both will bring you tremendous benefits. You'll gradually realize this later on."

After saying this, the Skydream Ice Silkworm stopped paying attention and his voice faded away.

"Hey, you're almost eating through your nose," Wang Dong said to Huo Yuhao, who had been daydreaming for quite some time, waving his hand in front of him.

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao quickly touched his nose only to see Wang Dong grinning mischievously.

"What are you thinking about? You're so spaced out," Wang Dong said with amusement. He found Huo Yuhao's dazed expression quite entertaining.

Huo Yuhao said, "Of course I'm thinking about our Haodong Power. I'm wondering why we could experience this soul power fusion. After much thought, there seems to be only one possibility, which is that during our Martial Soul Fusion last night, the compatibility was extremely high, and that must be why this happened."

Wang Dong's eyes brightened, "Right! You make sense. If not for that, why would something that others haven't experienced happen to us? Let's eat quickly and then go out and try if we can execute a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. But do you know how to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Huo Yuhao said somewhat helplessly, "How would I know? Isn't it supposed to just come naturally?"

The two stared at each other, unable to help but reveal a helpless, wry smile; indeed, while Martial Soul Fusion Skills were mentioned in class, they were an extremely niche ability. The teacher had merely glossed over the topic, let alone explaining how to use them. After all, there were far too few people who could genuinely use Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

Wang Dong said, "Forget it, let's try tonight. If it doesn't work, we'll ask Teacher Zhou Yi tomorrow to see if there's a way to execute it."

"Mm," Huo Yuhao agreed while continuously calling out to the Skydream Ice Silkworm in his mind. He believed that the Skydream Ice Silkworm, with its million years of life experience, would definitely know what to do.

"Idiot, you're bothering me with such a trivial thing. Just do what you did last night! Morons." The Skydream Ice Silkworm seemed to be just about to fall asleep, and was very disgruntled at being woken up by Huo Yuhao, muttering a few words before falling silent again.

Just do what we did last night? Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what was meant—hugging?

After quickly finishing their dinner, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, with excited and curious hearts, swiftly left the academy. Huo Yuhao didn't go out to sell grilled fish today, and upon exiting the academy gates, he encountered many old customers complaining. He could only apologize repeatedly, excusing himself with the need to prepare for the freshman assessment ranking match.

"Let's race," Wang Dong whispered, his toes tapping the ground as he suddenly sped up, shooting out like an arrow.

If this had been three months ago, Huo Yuhao probably wouldn't have even seen his silhouette. But three months of intense physical training was not in vain. Huo Yuhao fully exerted the strength in his legs, and his speed soared as well. Although he didn't look as effortless as Wang Dong, he was definitely not slow. Each step he took left a clear footprint in the soil as he quickly chased after Wang Dong.

The explosive power of his muscles came continuously, and the soul power circulating in his body replenished the physical strength he was consuming.

The air was cool and refreshing in the evening, giving them a thrilling sensation of darting through the wind. Free from the constraints of their metal shirts, they both unleashed their speed to the fullest.

Ultimately, Wang Dong's foundation was much better than Huo Yuhao's, and he quickly gained distance. Only after the gap exceeded three hundred meters did he slow down and wait for Huo Yuhao to catch up.

"Hmm, for a control-class Battle Soul Master who's not good at direct combat, your speed is still decent," Wang Dong said, looking at the catching-up Huo Yuhao as if he were an old man.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "That should be enough distance. Let's go into the forest."

"Okay," Wang Dong nodded, and the two of them looked around to ensure no one was nearby. Then they both accelerated at the same time, running into the woods beside the road and continuing for a few hundred meters before stopping.

"This should be good. How should we test it?" Wang Dong asked Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said, "Let's try the recovery ability of Haodong Power first," and while speaking, he raised his hands towards Wang Dong.

Wang Dong raised his hand to meet his, and having practiced throughout the afternoon, they were quite familiar with operating Haodong Power. Just as they had predicted, Haodong Power did enhance their ability to recover physical and soul power when their soul energies were fused. However, this increase was not as significant as during their cultivation sessions.

"The effect is mediocre! But it still has some use," Wang Dong, who recovered his expended physical strength first, told Huo Yuhao after a moment.

Huo Yuhao nodded, spread his arms, and said, "Come on."

Wang Dong was taken aback and became wary as he looked at Huo Yuhao, "What are you going to do?"

Huo Yuhao said naturally, "Hug!"

"You..." Wang Dong's face changed dramatically, turning from pale to flushed, "Huo Yuhao, I can't believe you. Do you believe I could beat you to the point of being unable to take care of yourself?"

Huo Yuhao, caught between laughter and tears, said, "What are you thinking about? Idiot, have you forgotten how we came to experience Martial Soul Fusion? Now that our spirit energies can fuse, the simplest way to activate Martial Soul Fusion is to repeat what happened yesterday!"

Wang Dong then realized, his face going red with embarrassment, which was clearly visible to Huo Yuhao and his spirit eyes, even in the dark of night.

"You didn't explain and just said you wanted a hug. Did you do it on purpose to embarrass me?" Wang Dong, masking his awkwardness and embarrassment with anger.

Huo Yuhao, feeling helpless, said, "Who knew your thoughts would be so unhealthy? What could we two men possibly do? Hurry up. Get it over with so we can go back and continue cultivating."

Wang Dong hesitated and said, "But we're in the middle of nowhere. We're not going to fall asleep directly like last night, are we?"

Huo Yuhao, speechless, replied, "No, today is different. Why are you fussing like a woman? Here I come." Saying this, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Wang Dong tightly.

Wang Dong's body stiffened, and the moment Huo Yuhao hugged him, his mind went blank. After their full-force run previously, Huo Yuhao was slightly sweaty, and his faint scent engulfed Wang Dong.

Wang Dong's body was soft, and holding him felt as comfortable as it had the previous night, though Huo Yuhao had no intention of enjoying the moment. While hugging Wang Dong, he immediately started to circulate his own soul power and activated his Spiritual Eyes Martial Soul. Wang Dong also came to his senses in the next instant.

The full contact of their bodies quickly transformed the soul power inside them into Haodong Power. Huo Yuhao's eyes were exceptionally bright in the evening dusk, flickering with pale gold light.

After a brief moment of inertia, Wang Dong also hastily activated his Martial Soul.

Instantly, both felt a strange sensation. Releasing their Martial Souls while hugging was utterly different from the way they had assisted each other before when using Haodong Power to execute their soul skills.

The moment Wang Dong's ice-blue wings unfolded behind him, their minds both experienced a brief moment of disorientation.
