Chapter 22: Hao Dong's Power (2)

  "Hey, don't rush to conclusions. Admittedly, our overall strength may not be as strong as theirs, but if we lose confidence now, we'll have no chance at all. Xiao Xiao, think back to when we faced the Blue Sisters' Soul Fusion Technique - wasn't that incredibly tough? Yet we still managed to win in the end. The power of their Soul Fusion Technique was on par with a Soul Emperor's soul technique, if not even stronger. But we persevered. Others have their own advantages, and so do we. Our advantage lies in our hidden strength, which has yet to be revealed. We only have one goal: the championship."

  Xiao Xiao's confidence seemed to be rekindled by Huo Yu Hao, and he nodded slightly, saying: "Let's do our best, anyway. We'll see how far we can go. Let's work hard together!"

  Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand, and Wang Dong quickly placed his palm on top of Huo Yuhao's before Xiao Xiao could react, so Xiao Xiao had no choice but to place her hand on top of Wang Dong's.

  "We are champions, definitely."

  "Xiao, I'm afraid the roasted fish you owe me will have to wait a few more days. The upcoming elimination match is too important for us, and we must focus our minds and make the most of these next few days to improve our skills, even if it's just by a hair. Once the elimination match is over, I'll make sure you get your roasted fish. For now, I won't be opening my stall again. Let's focus on cultivating our skills first."

  Hehe, with a sly smile, he said: "Debts do come with interest. Class leader, I'm relying on you now, and from now on, when I eat your grilled fish, I won't be paying for it."

  He Yu Hao smiled and said, "No problem, I can still afford to treat you to roasted fish."

  Xiao Xiao said, "Teacher Zhou said that tomorrow before the class bell rings, we should gather in the assessment area. She also asked me to tell you two not to be late. What we need to pray for first is good luck. However, Teacher Zhou said that our team, which has a perfect record in the round-robin tournament, will have preferential treatment in the first two rounds of the knockout tournament and won't meet each other. This is also the only effect of getting good results in the round-robin tournament. As long as we perform normally, it shouldn't be a problem to at least enter the top 16. After that, it depends on ourselves."

  "This is actually good news, alright, I'll do that first. I'm all sweaty now, so I'll go back and wash up before going to eat."

  Xiao Xiao said: "Then I won't wait for you two, go to the cafeteria first, see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, she waved her hand at Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong, turned around and left.

  Huo Yuhao turned to look at Wang Dong, his brow furrowed slightly as he said, "It seems that getting a good result in the elimination round won't be easy. Let's go, we'll head back to our dorm first, I'll take a shower and change my clothes, then after dinner we can thoroughly research the issue of soul fusion."

  "Hmm." Wang Dong nodded, but seemed a bit silent, even dazed and stunned, not knowing what he was thinking about. After returning to the dormitory, Huo Yuhao went to take a shower with clean clothes and towels by himself. Wang Dong sat alone on the bed waiting for him.

  "Bang." The door closed. Wang Dong subconsciously raised his head to look at the dormitory door, and a few complex emotions gradually flowed out of his bewildered eyes.

  This morning, due to being late, he didn't have time to settle the account with Huo Yu Hao for sleeping in his own bed last night. Huo Yu Hao is now acting as if nothing happened, but Wang Dong's feeling is completely different.

  I actually spent the whole night with him, and it seems that I even completed the fusion of our martial souls, and it's not just an ordinary fusion.

  Wang Dong didn't know what kind of mood he was in now, he just felt that his heart was a bit messy, and he didn't know how to deal with it himself.

  At that moment, time always passed quickly. Before he knew it, Huo Yu Hao had washed up and returned, feeling refreshed and clean. As soon as he entered the door, he brought with him a faint fragrance of bath soap. Wang Dong looked up just in time to see Huo Yu Hao's exceptionally bright eyes.

  Huo Yuhao still didn't notice any change in Wang Dong's mood, and beckoned to him, "Come on, let's go eat quickly, then we can study the fusion of our martial souls. Perhaps, this move will be what we need to achieve good results in the end." At this time, he was fully focused on the new student assessment elimination match.

  Wang Dong's slightly bewildered emotions seemed to have found a target, and he nodded, saying "Alright." It had already happened, so there was no use thinking about it too much. He might as well focus on getting a good ranking in this assessment first. Xiao Xiao mentioning the appearance of several Soul Master-level freshmen also sparked Wang Dong's competitive spirit.

  He firmly believed that his potential was no worse than those of the Soul Master level newcomers, but because he had been extremely lazy since childhood and didn't like to cultivate, he hadn't reached that level yet. Rank doesn't mean everything; defeating them would prove that he was the best.

  After figuring this out, he no longer tangled with anything in his heart and went to the cafeteria with Huo Yuhao for a hearty meal. Because they went a bit late, by the time they finished eating, there were hardly any people left in the cafeteria.

  Back in the dormitory, Huo Yu Hao locked the door to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing them while they were cultivating. At the same time, he hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside of the door. Every room had one of these signs, and as long as it was hung up, even teachers would not lightly knock on the door to disturb them, because this sign meant that the students inside were cultivating.

  However, the normally normal behavior of Huo Yu Hao at this time made Wang Dong slightly embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted and when Huo Yu Hao turned back, his expression also returned to normal.

  "How do we start?" Wang Dong asked Huo Yu Hao.

  "Huo Yuhao said, 'Let's try to cultivate together for a period of time first. This way, our soul power can fuse more effectively and we'll become more familiar with each other. Then, we can try to amplify each of our soul skills through the fused soul power. Tonight, we'll go outside the academy to test out the fusion of our martial souls.'"

  Wang Dong curled his lip and said, "You're quite logical."

  "Haha, that's right, don't forget, I'm the class monitor. Isn't it normal to have some order? Come on," he said with a smile, and then headed towards Wang Dong's bed to sit down.

  "What's wrong with you?" Wang Dong pushed his body away.

  Huo Yu Hao asked in confusion: "Cultivate? How can we cultivate without sitting cross-legged?"

  Wang Dong stood up and pointed at He Yu's bed, saying: "Go back to your bed for cultivation."

  Huo Yu Hao was speechless for a moment, "If you're not afraid of getting a sore butt, I don't care."

  Wang Dongming clearly saw that Huo Yuhao's face was slightly unsightly, indeed, Huo Yuhao was somewhat unhappy, in his opinion, everyone had been friends for so long, and Wang Dong was still nitpicking, very petty.
