Chapter 23: The Decline of Splendor, The Road of Gold (Part 2)

  This touch was not tight, and Huo Yu Hao instantly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, with a look of shock on his face. Because in the instant he touched that golden thing, he only felt that his brain seemed to have gone haywire for an instant. The spiritual sea surged violently, and that feeling was like being hit by a soul impact.

  "This... is this just a remnant of our Wu Soul fusion technique? Try it." Huo Yuhao hastily said to Wang Dong beside him.

  Wang Dong was so curious that he hurriedly reached out to touch the golden trench.

  His reaction was much greater than Huo Yu's, and he was stunned for a moment, taking half a day to come back to his senses.

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

  "This, this is too intense! This is just the residual power of our Wu Soul fusion technique, I feel like it's been fully unleashed by your Lingzhu. If we were to take this hit head-on, what would be the extent of the damage?" Wang Dong's voice was trembling with excitement. No soul master wouldn't want to possess a powerful soul skill.

  He Yu Hao said: "You see, the attack distance of this soul technique should be 50 meters, a straight-line attack. It's still unknown whether we can lock onto our opponent or not. The power is indeed enormous, it should have both destructive and spiritual attributes. It just amplifies our attacking power by several times. If such an attack hits its mark head-on, the power..."

  Wang Dong excitedly nodded and said: "Moreover, the power of our martial soul fusion technique will definitely increase as our cultivation increases! Our martial soul fusion technique is truly overbearing. If we were to encounter the Blue Sisters' net again, we would be able to break through it instantly!"

  Huoyue Hao was also excited, but he was a bit calmer than Wang Dong. "Wang Dong, do you think our Soul Fusion Technique can be used in the assessment? With this power, I don't think even a Soul Emperor can withstand it!"

  Wang Dong's face stiffened, and he said, "This is indeed a problem. The power is too great, it even gives people headaches. Moreover, we only have this one move, scaring people is not feasible. After using it, we ourselves will be the first to faint."

  Huo Yu Hao said, "The first time we used it, our experience was insufficient, and next time we try it should not consume so much. But it should indeed only have the power of one strike. Having such a powerful skill is always a good thing. Let's practice several more times when we get back, and once we're accustomed to it, it should be much better."

  Wang Dongdao said: "Next time if that Ma Xiaotao bullies us again, let's give her a lesson. With her cultivation level, she shouldn't be killed, and let her know our strength."

  Huo Yuhao said: "Our powerful martial soul fusion technique should have a name, and since my misjudgment made you sleep outdoors for a night, I'll let you come up with the name."

  "Alright, you're sensible. What's good? Death stare, how about it?"

  Before Huo Yuhao could speak, he himself had already negated it, "No way, no way. This is a Soul Fusion Skill that we two launched, how can there not be my soul's special characteristics? Let's just call it the Gaze of the Goddess of Light, cool."

  Huō Yǔhào looked at him with a speechless face, "Your 'Guāngmíng Nǚshén Dié' is just the Guāngmíng Nǚshén? That means it's like bringing light, as beautiful as a goddess-like butterfly. Not to mention whether there is a Guāngmíng Nǚshén or not, even if there is, it has nothing to do with you."

  "You can't say something nice for once? Are you trying to make Butterfly's gaze sound even more unpleasant?"

  Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Got it, why do our martial soul fusion techniques have to add all of our martial souls? That's too lacking in characteristics. Such a dazzling gold color, and the moment our martial soul fusion technique is released, isn't it better to just call it: Desolation within Splendor, The Golden Road. How about that?"

  "Huo Yu Hao's eyes widened slightly, 'This name is pretty good, but isn't it a bit too long?'"

  Wang Dong said with a pleased smile, "The longer it is, the more powerful we'll seem. Let's just call it the Golden Road for short. Anyway, others won't know what it means. Let's get Teacher Zhou to come out and help us evaluate the brilliance of this desolate place, the power and effect of the Golden Road, so we can have a clear idea in our minds."

  When Wang Dong mentioned three words about Teacher Zhou, Huo Yuhao suddenly shivered and turned his head to look at the sun that was slowly rising.

  Wang Dong also remembered something under his reminder, and the two of them exchanged a glance, let out a simultaneous scream, and immediately took off running.

  Late again...... and it's during the knockout stage, late again......

  In order to return to Slytherin Academy at the fastest speed, the two had to hold hands and sprint at full speed, using Hao Dong's power not only consumed less but also allowed their speeds to average out to the fastest.

  Fortunately, they didn't run too far away and it didn't take long to hurry back, but still ended up being late.

  Outside the examination area, a row of teachers from the college stood, with nearly thirty people, including Old Lady Zhou Wei.

  Her eyes were very unkind at this time, and her gaze swept through the nearly two hundred students below, but she just couldn't find the person she was looking for.

  Xiao Xiao had arrived early, anxiously waiting with a worried face. The roll call had already begun, starting from their class. However, Huo Yu Hao and Wang Dong had yet to arrive. If they still hadn't arrived by the time the roll call ended, they would be considered absent. Not to mention how regrettable it would be to miss this opportunity, just thinking about Old Lady Zhou's anger was unbearable! Even their own teammates might get dragged down with them.

  What are these two guys doing? They were late yesterday and now they're here again today?

  The first class of freshmen had the most participants, so the roll call took the longest. When it was their turn, except for Xiao Xiao responding, no one responded to the names "Huo Yuhao" and "Wang Dong". This shocked not only all the freshmen but also the teachers.

  Although this is not the first time in Shrek Academy's history, it is absolutely a rare occurrence. Even if they have passed the freshman assessment, if they do not appear in the elimination match, they will definitely be seen as contemptuous of the academy and leave a bad impression on all teachers.

  The teacher who was taking attendance paused for a moment before continuing to take attendance of the other classes, all the way until the new sixth class. It wasn't until then that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived late.

  Two people rushed along the road, and slept in the wilderness for another night. In the morning, they didn't even have time to wash up, looking very disheveled, with their clothes all messy, not to mention the mud and dew mixed together leaving stains on their bodies.

  However, things have come to this point, and they can only grit their teeth and bear it. They can't really give up, after all!
