Cheat Fusion

A golden-white radiance suddenly flared up. Though intense, it was not dazzling, but soft and gentle. Xu Jie watched everything with great interest from the side when a gray-black speck of light suddenly appeared.

The speck hovered around the white light. Seemingly noticing Xu Jie nearby, it began moving toward him. Xu Jie naturally noticed that abrupt presence within the white glow.

Seeing the speck rushing at him, he was so frightened that he immediately lowered his Martial Soul, which once again wrapped around his head.

What a joke. Who cares about Electrolux? Even if that bastard Tang San showed up today, there was no way he was getting into my head.

Sensing Xu Jie's actions, the gray-black speck seemed to understand that the peculiar soul disliked it. It hesitated no longer and instantly plunged into the white light.

The white light gradually faded, and Huo Yuhao, who had been at its center, fainted as it vanished.

The invisible ripple that had brought the surrounding creatures to a standstill also gradually dissipated, perhaps to prevent any accident from happening after Huo Yuhao lost consciousness.

After only a short while, Huo Yuhao, lying on the ground, gradually woke up.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had awakened, Xu Jie put away his Martial Soul and prepared to continue onward with him. After all, he still did not have a Soul Ring made from a giant maggot with either a fire or light attribute.

The moment his Martial Soul was put away, that familiar voice suddenly appeared in Xu Jie's mind again. Startled, he hurriedly summoned his Martial Soul once more and covered his head with it.

"Hello, I..." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's mind had barely begun speaking when it was instantly cut off, making him somewhat furious.

Xu Jie did not dare relax at all. The memories in his mind absolutely could not be discovered by that worm.

Meanwhile, as soon as Huo Yuhao woke up, disbelief filled his face. He quietly told Xu Jie about what had happened in his mind, causing the already irritated Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to become even more exasperated.

However, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not stop Huo Yuhao. From the memories he had copied from Huo Yuhao's mind, he had learned that this boy, who was about the same age as Huo Yuhao, was Huo Yuhao's only support in this world.

Moreover, when he had entered Huo Yuhao's mind earlier, this boy with the peculiar soul had not been affected by his Spiritual Power at all and had clearly seen the entire process of him entering Huo Yuhao's body.

Xu Jie was not surprised by Huo Yuhao's words. The two had grown up together. Though they were not related by blood, Xu Jie was Huo Yuhao's only true older brother in Huo Yuhao's heart. The kid told him every secret he had.

Ah, this kid really was too innocent.

After listening, Xu Jie said, "Yuhao, according to that worm, it has already become one with you, so it probably won't harm you. Becoming stronger will benefit it too, so don't worry."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in Huo Yuhao's mind had already fallen asleep due to the immense expenditure from merging with him. Otherwise, upon hearing Xu Jie call him a worm, he might very well have taken control of Huo Yuhao's body and fought Xu Jie to the death.

Xu Jie had barely finished speaking when Huo Yuhao was about to say something else.

"Ah!" A startled cry suddenly rang out.

Huo Yuhao immediately shut his mouth and looked toward the source of the voice.

A figure rapidly rushed toward where Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao stood. Seeing that the two were unharmed, she glanced at the corpse on the ground, patted her chest, and said to them, "We came a little late. Luckily, you two are all right."

Beibei walked over to the baboon's corpse and examined it. "This wound is so smooth. It should have been caused by a sharp weapon." After saying that, he glanced at the White Tiger Dagger in Huo Yuhao's hand. "It should have been caused by the dagger in little brother Huo's hand. That dagger should be a Soul Tool, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, channeling Soul Power into the dagger in his hand. The dagger instantly extended a blade of light a foot long.

"This Wind Baboon only had a few decades of cultivation. Little brother Huo, you didn't absorb its Soul Ring, did you?" Seeing that there was no Soul Ring on the baboon's corpse, Beibei frowned.

Before Huo Yuhao could speak, Xu Jie behind him patted his shoulder. Huo Yuhao turned and saw Xu Jie's gaze, then nodded and said, "Yes, I absorbed its Soul Ring."

After saying that, he summoned his Martial Soul. Dots of white light shone from Huo Yuhao's eyes, and a gleaming white Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet.

Beibei could now clearly see Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul. A Spirit-type Martial Soul? Huh! That wasn't right. Wasn't this baboon wind-attributed? How had he absorbed it?!

"Huh, is your Martial Soul Spirit-type?" Before Beibei could speak, Tang Ya beside him could no longer suppress the doubt in her heart and asked.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes, my Martial Soul is the Spiritual Eye, a Mutated Martial Soul of the Spirit-type."

"Eyes? A Mutated Martial Soul? How did you absorb a wind-attributed Soul Ring?" Beibei asked. According to the soul master theories he had learned, that should have been impossible!

Huo Yuhao shook his head and began explaining. Xu Jie and he were both weak, and the moment they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they had been attacked by the Wind Baboon. By a lucky coincidence, he had managed to kill it, and then he absorbed the Wind Baboon's Soul Ring.

Beibei clearly did not entirely believe Huo Yuhao's explanation and instinctively looked toward Xu Jie.

Xu Jie nodded in response. Yes, what Huo Yuhao said was true.

After receiving confirmation, Beibei no longer doubted Huo Yuhao's words. Perhaps this Wind Baboon had mutated into a spirit attribute. After all, he had seen both Xu Jie's and Huo Yuhao's Martial Souls, and neither had Soul Rings.

Besides, in such a short time, given Huo Yuhao's and Xu Jie's strength, they could not have hunted a second Soul Beast. There was no second Soul Beast corpse at the scene either.

Tang Ya did not have as many thoughts as Beibei. When she heard that Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul was the Spiritual Eye, she seemed to think of something and said happily, "A Body Martial Soul? Wonderful, wonderful!"

Beibei also came to his senses and said to the two, "What a pity. We arrived a step too late. We should have helped little brother Huo find a better Soul Beast." His face filled with regret, then he turned to Xu Jie. "Little brother Xu hasn't absorbed a Soul Ring yet, right? Come with us!"

Tang Ya nodded as well. "That's right, come with us!"

Xu Jie raised a hand in thanks. "All right, thank you. Just call me Xu Jie." He had been worrying about what to do regarding his Soul Ring. Now that he had a Soul Elder to help him, wasn't this exactly finding something without effort after searching everywhere?

Huo Yuhao took the chance to say, "Just call me Yuhao."

Beibei nodded. "Got it, got it. Xu Jie's Martial Soul is fire-attributed, right?"

Xu Jie said, "That's right. It's fire-attributed. My Martial Soul is the sun." As he spoke, he summoned his Martial Soul, and a scorching Fireball appeared in his hand.
