Chapter 29: The Two Presidents (Part 2)

  Huo Yuhao grasped Wang Dong's shoulders with both hands, his eyes fixed intently on him, the red color in them seeming to deepen even further. "Wang Dong, I consider you a brother. Please keep this secret for me."

  Wang Dongming was far superior to Huo Yu in terms of cultivation, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of fear. After that fleeting fear, what emerged even more strongly were feelings of sympathy and pity. At the same age, for eleven years, what kind of life had he lived? And what kind of life had Huo Yu lived?!

  Huoyue slowly closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to calm his turbulent emotions. This hatred had been buried in his heart for too long, too long. It wasn't until he entered Shrek Academy and passed the freshman exam that he felt a glimmer of hope, a hope to avenge his mother. Today, seeing Dai Huabin, the flames of hatred in his heart were finally ignited. But now he couldn't erupt, nor did he dare to erupt. He had to continue enduring, enduring until that thread of hope grew into a future.

  "Ah——" A deep sigh suddenly rang out, causing Huo Yu's nerves to tense up and his spirit to tighten instantly. His spiritual soul was released in an instant, scanning the surroundings with a low growl, "Who?"

  The dormitory was very quiet, and in Huo Yu's spiritual detection, there were no abnormalities. Wang Dong looked at him with a stunned expression, not understanding why he suddenly became so tense.

  "Yuhao, what's wrong?" Wang Dong asked in puzzlement.

  Huo Yu Hao was taken aback, "Didn't you hear?"

  "What did you hear?" Wang Dong's face was full of surprise.

  Huo Yu Hao's heart skipped a beat. "Just now someone let out a sigh, I heard it very clearly, how could you not have heard it?"

  Wang Dong shook his head and said, "No! I didn't hear anything. Are you hallucinating?"

  Huo Yu Hao expanded his spiritual detection range as much as possible, but still nothing unusual appeared. After that sigh, there were no other unusual sounds either.

  Was it really just my imagination? Huo Yuhao's mind raised a question, but he quickly denied his own thoughts. As a spiritual soul master, his senses were much more acute than ordinary people, except for the strongest visual sense, the other six senses were also very strong. Even in the midst of mental turmoil, there would be no auditory hallucinations. Moreover, that sigh just now was so clear, as if it had been emitted right next to his ear.

  "Tianmeng Ge, Tianmeng Ge." Huo Yuhao called out in his heart.

  "What's the matter?" Tian Meng Bing Xian lazily spoke up, it was asleep for most of the time, but recently Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's soul fusion had piqued its interest, that's why it remained awake.

  "Just now there was a sigh, did you hear it?" asked Huo Yu Hao.

  "Sigh? Are you being blinded by hatred?! What's there to sigh about? Don't disturb my sleep if it's not important. And your mood should be calmer, with your current abilities, if you can't even control your own emotions, you'll die without knowing how, and it's not just you who'll die, what about me?" Tian Meng Bing Xian said irritably.

  This time, Huo Yu Hao was really shocked. Tian Meng Bing Xian didn't seem to have heard that sigh either. Could it be that the sigh didn't exist at all?

  No, he really didn't believe that, and instead trusted his own judgment. But then, where did that sigh come from? With Tian Meng Bing Xian's abilities, was it possible for someone to hide their presence from it? That was impossible, as Tian Meng Bing Xian was a hundred million year old soul beast! Even if its combat strength was slightly weaker, in the spiritual world, it was almost an invincible existence.

  At this time, Tian Meng Bao's voice rang out again, "By the way, Huo Yu Hao, I want to remind you that it's best to use Soul Impact as little as possible. If you expose too much, everyone will be on guard against you in the future. Although your Soul Impact has been greatly enhanced by that Purple Extreme Magic Pupil, if you encounter someone with a much higher cultivation level who is intentionally targeting you, there may be a situation where the impact backfires. That's very dangerous."

  Huo Yu Hao was shocked in his heart and hastily asked: "Tian Meng, generally speaking, how much higher than my cultivation must a soul master's cultivation be for my soul to rebound from the impact?"

  "If you respond carefully and use your soul power correctly, even someone with a higher level of soul power than you can trigger a backlash. Otherwise, why would I have suffered so much in the Star Dou Great Forest back then? If my soul impact was invincible, I wouldn't have had to endure so many years of humiliation. The reason your soul impact performed amazingly in previous battles is mainly due to its suddenness and the amplification of the Purple Extreme Magic Eye. Later on, it was also because of the fusion of your and Wang Dong's soul powers that accelerated it. These factors just caught your opponents off guard. But if everyone starts defending against your soul impact in the future, you'll need to be careful. On the other hand, you can use Spiritual Disturbance freely; although it's much weaker than Soul Impact, its greatest advantage is that it doesn't have a backlash. Remember, when you and Wang Dong join forces to use Soul Impact, you won't be able to truly defeat an opponent with three soul rings. Try to use it less often in the future."

  Huo Yu Hao bitterly smiled and said: "It's not that I want to use it excessively, Tian Meng Ge, among the four soul techniques you imparted to me, apart from Soul Strike, there are no other attacking abilities!"

  "Hmm... that's a problem too. But, bear with it for now, you're still young. What's the rush! Hurry up and reach level 20, I'll find a way to give you enough combat power. At least you won't be at a disadvantage against others of the same level. Alright, I'm going to sleep."

  Tian Meng Bing Xiang's words served as a timely reminder to Huo Yu Hao, and also diluted his pursuit of that one sigh. At this moment, Huo Yu Hao thought to himself that Tian Meng Bing Xiang had mentioned the 20th level more than once, which proved that in its opinion, the 20th level would be an important node for itself. As long as it could break through the 20th level, its own strength should take a leap forward, and it wouldn't need to rely on the power of its companions anymore; it should have some fighting power of its own.

  As he thought of this, Huo Yu's emotions gradually calmed down, and he began to cultivate with Wang Dong, recovering his soul power.

  This afternoon's battle will be tough, not only because the fight for the championship is fierce, but also a torment for his heart. However, this battle is also one he can't avoid. Sooner or later, he'll have to face it, so let's take this final as a test of his heart.

  The dormitory quieted down, and due to the fusion of Wu Soul, Wang Dong could feel the changes in Huo Yuhao's emotions. He found that he was able to calm down so quickly, and Wang Dong felt not only surprised but also a sense of admiration. In terms of appearance, Huo Yuhao was inferior to him by more than one level, but at this moment, in Wang Dong's eyes, the eleven-year-old Huo Yuhao already had a man's fortitude.

  The two of them practiced until lunchtime, and their spiritual energy had already recovered. When they arrived at the cafeteria, however, they received a huge surprise.

  "Two young men, I heard you both made it to the finals smoothly, well done. This girl is back. The final, how can it be without me?" Xiao Xiao smiled and leaned against the canteen's gate, looking at Ho Yu Hao and Wang Dong who were walking towards her.
