Huo Yuhao Takes a Master

Huo Yuhao did not know how long she had been crying.

Eventually, she fell into a deep sleep in Ji Siyuan's arms.

She could not cry in front of her father, for he was her enemy; she could not cry in front of Tian Meng, for Tian Meng was training her to be strong; she could not even cry by herself, for she held herself to high standards and feared she would succumb to cowardice. But she could cry in front of Ji Siyuan, because she knew that Ji Siyuan would protect her.

Ji Siyuan gently picked up Huo Yuhao, intending to place her on her own bed. However, his presence was the very reason for her peaceful slumber, and in the end, he had no choice but to sleep alongside her.

Tang San: "Oh my, sleeping together already? You aren't far from winning her over, are you? Back in my day, your Aunt Xiao Wu and I were the same, though we were in a multi-person dormitory back then."

Listening to Tang San's teasing, Ji Siyuan did not know how to respond. Fortunately, he had only started in his teens, which couldn't compare to his Uncle Tang starting at six.

The young girl, who had worked hard for nearly a month, was finally able to get a good night's sleep. Although her sleeping posture had become rather messy, having endured so much cold, she was somewhat craving warmth.

The evening breeze blew, carrying away the exhaustion.

"Ah!"

A scream jolted the sleeping Ji Siyuan awake. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"Why am I in your bed?" Although Huo Yuhao was surprised, she first confirmed that this was not her own bed.

"Well, you wouldn't let go yesterday, so I had no choice but to sleep with you." He stated the facts, yet it sounded like a lover's whisper.

Huo Yuhao immediately sat up, and just as she was about to apologize, she realized this was a good opportunity and lay back down.

"Hm? Why are you lying back down? There's a lot to do today, wake up." Ji Siyuan gently nudged Huo Yuhao awake.

"I don't want to. I pushed myself all the way to Soul Power Level 25, and I'll be at 26 soon. You said we need to balance work and rest, and I need a good rest." She unconsciously adopted a spoiled tone. Even though she had used Simulation to appear as a boy, she was revealing her feminine side.

Moreover, she specifically mentioned her Soul Power Level, wanting to show that she had caught up to Ji Siyuan.

With the Red Lotus Lotus Seed and the absorption of the Ice Emperor, she possessed Ultimate Ice, and combined with Ji Siyuan's Ultimate Fire, their cultivation speed would only be faster than imagined.

Huo Yuhao's words softened Ji Siyuan's heart, so he decided to let her rest well first.

But they clearly forgot that they were in the outer courtyard and actually had classes to attend.

Regardless of whether the class was trivial, one still had to show up and sign in.

On top of that, since Wang Dong'er already knew Huo Yuhao had returned, she was even more worried.

Thus, a loud knock-knock-knock on the door startled the two of them awake.

After tidying up and opening the door, Wang Dong'er stood at the entrance with her hands on her hips: "What is going on with you two? You didn't even go to class today? We still have a Soul Fight training match to attend."

Fortunately, their homeroom teacher was Zhang Lexuan, so being late for a class or two occasionally wasn't a problem, though it was a frequent occurrence for Ji Siyuan.

Huo Yuhao was confused by the arrangement Wang Dong'er mentioned: "Training match? What training match?"

"Sigh, this guy didn't tell you?" Upon learning that he really hadn't, the task of explaining fell to Wang Dong'er.

Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly as she listened, fully agreeing with the idea.

"This way, we can quickly accumulate combat experience." Simply being in the outer courtyard and sparring against Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei was already considered a high-quality Soul Fight.

Ji Siyuan: "There are quite a few things scheduled for today, and they are rather important, so the Soul Fight might have to be delayed for a bit."

"What could be more important than a Soul Fight to gain experience?" Wang Dong'er huffed: "We can cultivate at night anyway."

"I am going to take Huo Yuhao to take on a master."

"Take on a master?"

Huo Yuhao saw the teacher Ji Siyuan had found for her; it was the old grandfather she greeted every day.

Mu En sat in his wheelchair, watching the three of them with a cheerful expression, "Are you all looking to take on a master?"

"Only Huo Yuhao." Ji Siyuan stepped back half a pace, highlighting Huo Yuhao.

Mu En knew they were people with secrets and decided to go to a quiet room to talk.

"I want to go along too." Wang Dong'er also expressed her thoughts from the side; she definitely couldn't be left out.

Ji Siyuan immediately pulled Wang Dong'er back: "Stop making a fuss, let them talk."

Mu En: "Some secrets that can be told will eventually be exposed to the eyes of the world, so why not start with the first one now?" His expression was kind; even if he didn't know what the secret was, since it had to be revealed to the world, they could take it one step at a time.

For Ji Siyuan, it was no problem, and Huo Yuhao also had a relatively reasonable explanation, so they agreed to come along.

Walking into the quiet cabin, two white Soul Rings rose from Huo Yuhao's body: "Actually, my Martial Soul is not just this one." The two white Soul Rings merged into one.

A chill also began to spread.

Mu En's cultivation was high, so he didn't fear the cold, and Ji Siyuan was completely unaffected; only Wang Dong'er could not resist the freezing temperature.

As the cold spread, she instinctively sought a heat source and grabbed Ji Siyuan's hand: "Hurry and ignite your fire, I'm freezing to death."

"I told you not to come." Flames ignited on his body, dispelling the chill around him.

"I wanted to come! How would I know about this if I didn't? This is a Twin Martial Souls, after all."

Since the two of them were not the protagonists, Mu En asked Huo Yuhao, whose eyes had been fixed on this side: "Yuhao, what is your second Martial Soul?"

Huo Yuhao quickly regained her focus: "Ice Jade Scorpion."

Before Mu En could begin his inquiry, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to explain what she had done previously.

It was as if she had done something wrong and was proactively trying to cover it up.

"I went to the Extreme North because my Martial Soul was fracturing. At the time, I only had one thought in my mind: to head to the Extreme North, as it seemed it could soothe my Martial Soul. In the end, I passed out, and when I woke up, there was a scorpion lying beside me. I only learned later that it was an Ice Jade Scorpion." Huo Yuhao thought she had found a reasonable explanation, but to Ji Siyuan and Mu En, it was riddled with holes.

However, Mu En did not care about the reason; it was perfectly normal to have secrets.

Mu En nodded in acknowledgment: "Martial Souls are strange and varied; from ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to fully understand them. So, all of this is quite normal." He smiled and said, "Since you have already shown me your Twin Martial Souls, I should also express my sincerity."

A brilliant light erupted from his body as his Soul Rings appeared: two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red. "It cannot compare to Ji Siyuan, but it is not too bad either."

The corner of Ji Siyuan's mouth twitched. Why compare himself to him?

This Soul Ring configuration could only be described as invincible. Three hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.

Huo Yuhao was so shocked she could not speak.

"This old man, Mu En, is a level 99 Title Douluo. I believe I am qualified to teach an Ultimate Martial Soul. Huo Yuhao, are you willing to become my student?" These words were, of course, not just meant for Huo Yuhao, but even more so for Ji Siyuan.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor both urged her to agree: "Yuhao, this is a Limit Douluo; he is even more powerful than Ice Emperor (I) was during my lifetime."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Ji Siyuan; the person who brought her here naturally agreed as well.

"Disciple pays respects to Teacher."

This moment had arrived earlier than expected, also because Huo Yuhao had obtained the Ice Emperor Martial Soul much sooner.

"I want to as well, I want to as well!" Wang Dong'er stood in front of Mu En: "I also want to become your student. I am also a Twin Martial Soul user. My first Martial Soul, the Radiant Goddess Butterfly, matches your Martial Soul very well. I come from the Clear Sky Sect, and my second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer; you should know of it."

"Eh?" Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise: "Wang Dong'er, you are also a Twin Martial Soul user?"

Wang Dong'er: "Are you only allowed to be one, and I am not?" As she spoke, she revealed the Clear Sky Hammer.

Under her persistent pestering, Mu En had no choice but to agree.

After speaking, the three of them looked at Ji Siyuan with a tacit understanding.

"Uh, I won't say anything. I already have a teacher." What he meant was not just that he wouldn't take a master, but also that he possessed a second Martial Soul.

Mu En nodded, acknowledging Ji Siyuan's decision, and looked kindly at his newly accepted disciples: "I will not let your talents go to waste, and I will make the world know of your strength!"

Two Twin Martial Soul users were certainly worth holding a Sea God Pavilion meeting for.
