Chapter 22: Hao Dong's Power (Part 1)
"Why don't you two hurry up and put on your armor and go for a run while holding hands and talking about romance?"
Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong jumped in fright, hastily releasing their hands, and ran towards the dormitory like flying. But at this moment, their heartbeats were very intense, of course not because of Zhou Wei's shout about dating, but because of the strange changes that appeared between them due to the emergence of Wu Soul!
Two people rushed back to the dormitory, looked at each other, and saw that strange look in each other's eyes. Ah! The situation that just appeared was really too strange. Whether it was Huo Yuhao, who had learned a lot of soul master knowledge at Shrek Academy for several months, or Wang Dong, who had extensive knowledge, neither of them knew about the existence of such a situation before. This obviously exceeded the normal category of soul masters.
"It seems that we didn't sleep in vain last night!"
"Pfft." Wang Dong glared at him for a moment, but still quickly raised his own slender and soft hands. "Try again."
Huo Yu Hao also hastened to verify whether the situation that had appeared earlier was true, and quickly raised his hands to clasp them together with Wang Dong.
Four hands clasped together, and in an instant, the soul power flowed again. The two people's soul powers were not the same. Huo Yu Hao's Xuan Tian Gong soul power was upright and harmonious, warm and smooth. Wang Dong's soul power was more overbearing, with a sharp and noble aura.
If Huo Yuhao's soul power was like a gentle and kind-hearted young man, then Wang Dong's soul power was more like that of a noble-born, high-and-mighty, arrogant young lady.
Such vastly different soul powers, yet they had formed a cycle, perfectly flowing within the two of them. Moreover, in the process of running, these two soul powers quietly merged, with you in me and me in you, inseparable, without any conflict arising, as if they were originally one entity.
Huo Yu Hao was slightly better off, after all his Xuan Tian Gong soul power had always been quite calm. But Wang Dong's feelings were filled with shock, he deeply knew how overbearing and powerful his own soul power was, and it also had a strong exclusivity. The scene that appeared at this moment had far exceeded the scope of his understanding.
It was just this brief moment of operation, both of them had a refreshing feeling, and it was clear that if they continued to cultivate like this, hand in hand, their speed would be much faster than cultivating separately. Moreover, they both deeply felt that this was only the beginning. With their soul power merging so perfectly together, what could be generated from this union was far more than just being able to cultivate together.
"Let's go, we'll run some laps first and then come back to study carefully tonight." Huo Yuhao voluntarily released Wang Dong's hand, put on his iron clothes, turned around and walked out.
Wang Dong listened to his words and was slightly stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth also twitched slightly. Ho Yu's words, combined with the inexplicable hug they shared last night, made him inevitably produce some misunderstandings in his heart. After clenching his fists behind Ho Yu's back, he picked up his armor and followed him.
Wearing iron clothes to run has been going on for three months, and now it's a familiar routine. He Yu Hao and Wang Dong ran honestly until the bell rang at the end of class, and didn't stop until Xiao Xiao came to the playground to find them. Xiao Xiao told them that Teacher Zhou had left long ago.
Huo Yu Hao was drenched in sweat, while Wang Dong, whose cultivation was much higher, didn't even break a sweat under deliberate control.
"What's going on? What did Teacher Zhou say?" Huo Yu Hao asked Xiao Xiao while panting.
Swaying his shoulders, he said: "Actually, there's nothing much to it. It's just to boost everyone's morale and pass on the momentum of killing people with gods and gods killing gods. Then we analyzed our opponents' situation. The difficulty for us to win the championship is quite high. It seems that the round-robin tournament was just a rehearsal after all, and Shrek Academy has never lacked geniuses!"
Looking at her expression, which was somewhat worried, Wang Dong said nonchalantly, "What's wrong? Has even the great genius of our twin martial souls lost confidence?"
Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Of course I have confidence. However, it must be said that some people indeed have better innate abilities than us. Teacher Zhou just mentioned that among the other five groups that won all their matches in the round-robin tournament, three of them had three-ring Soul Masters. How confident can you be when facing a three-ringer?"
"Soul Master?" Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong almost exclaimed at the same time, their faces filled with incredulity.
"Sighing bitterly, he said: 'Isn't that so? Or else why would I be so lacking in confidence?'"
Huo Yu Hao said: "What did Teacher Zhou say?"
Xiao Xiao said, "When Teacher Zhou mentioned those three groups, she didn't look too pleased either. She seemed to have just learned the news not long ago. Previously, those three classes had never revealed that they had Soul Master students. They are like you, all specially admitted."
When she said that, Wang Dong smiled and asked Huo Yuhao, "Look at them, they're all special students, how can the gap be so big?"
Huo Yu Hao was speechless for a moment, then said: "What's the point of saying these things? We should think about how to defeat our enemy and gain victory first."
"It's just a matter of doing our best and leaving the rest to fate. Those three guys are all leaders of their own teams, so they're obviously not easy to deal with. Think about it, if someone can break through the third soul stage before the age of twelve, how strong must their martial spirit be? And behind them, there must be a family that fully supports them. Their soul rings must also be at an extreme level. Even if they're not as abnormal as Wang Dong, their second soul ring is probably at least at the thousand-year level. I think even Teacher Zhou doesn't have high hopes for us. I think we can only set our sights on fourth place."
Wang Dong hummed and said, "What's the big deal about Three Rings? The Soul Master isn't invincible either. We have our own advantages, your twin martial souls, and my yet-to-be-fully-unleashed combat strength. Plus, Yu Hao's original martial soul and spiritual martial soul. With the three of us joining forces, we might not necessarily lose to anyone."
Xiao Xiao said: "You think I don't want to be first? Only the top three have substantial rewards. Fourth place doesn't even get anything. But, our overall strength is indeed inferior to others! Think about it, a Soul Master-level student, his teammates are at least as strong as us, Great Soul Masters. We do have our own advantages, but unless the class leader breaks through level 20 and has a powerful spiritual attribute soul skill, we might not even have a chance."
