Lao Huo, Are You Ready? The Great Fortune Has Arrived!

"Everyone, be careful. The opponent is very strong; one moment of carelessness and our tournament run ends here." Huo Yuhao transmitted his thoughts to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao using his spiritual energy.

At the same time, through the spiritual sharing and detection ability granted by the Tianmeng Iceworm, he was able to perceive the thoughts of his two teammates.

Just then, Huo Yuhao received the mental signals from Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong.

Xiao Xiao's mental fluctuations were clearly excited as she said to Huo Yuhao, "Class monitor, look at that Lin Yao! He's so handsome! How did I not notice before that he looks so charming after manifesting his Martial Soul?"

Wang Dong, however, spoke to Huo Yuhao with a strange expression, "I don't know why, but after seeing his Martial Soul, I feel as if my heart has been tugged by it, as if some unseen connection has locked us together."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Lin Yao watched Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao before him. Xiao Xiao's emotions were written all over her face, her infatuated gaze even growing somewhat hazy.

When he met Wang Dong's eyes, a strange sense of connection surged in his heart. However, it wasn't as smooth as what Wang Dong felt; it was more like two unrelated puzzle pieces being forcibly joined together by some mysterious power.

Lin Yao couldn't help but look up at the sky, his mind suddenly recalling a theory from the Peerless Tang Sect forums in his past life.

The theory was that the Martial Soul Fusion Skills of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were the handiwork of the God King Tang San. Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the Eye and the Butterfly, the Eye and the Clear Sky Hammer, the Ice Empress and the Butterfly, and the Ice Empress and the Clear Sky Hammer could achieve four instances of one-hundred-percent fusion. Even Electrolux, who would become Huo Yuhao's third Martial Soul, could forcibly resonate with the Sea God's Divine Sense that Tang San had left within Wang Dong's body.

Lin Yao narrowed his eyes. Theoretically, if the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life could observe his situation, there was no reason why Tang San, who paid even closer attention to the Douluo Continent, wouldn't see it too.

If he really was doing this—trying to forcibly pair an Ender Dragon with a butterfly—he would have his hands full.

This awkward connection wasn't lethal. Lin Yao could feel that as long as he rejected it from the bottom of his heart, his Martial Soul would resist in kind, severing the link entirely.

Casually cutting off this stiff connection, Lin Yao scrutinized Wang Dong. That high and mighty deity was truly a prisoner of his own patriarchal throne.

Even if he wanted to find a good son-in-law for his daughter, he shouldn't use such methods; at the very least, he should be upright and honorable about it.

Wang Dong suddenly felt the connection snap, and his vision went blank for a brief moment. Fortunately, he had Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing and detection to provide auxiliary vision, otherwise, it was hard to say how long he would have been "offline" before coming to his senses.

At this moment, the referee in charge of their arena raised his hand and announced, "Prepare, the match begins!"

The moment the match started, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao immediately charged toward Lin Yao's team from both sides.

Xiao Xiao's gaze remained fixed on Lin Yao. As she activated her Martial Soul to attack, her primary target was him.

This time, Xiao Xiao activated her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron with extra focus, almost as if showing off her skills, sending three cauldrons attacking Lin Yao from three different directions.

The three large cauldrons formed a triangular formation, as if intending to crush Lin Yao between them.

While Huo Yuhao used his spiritual sharing and detection to direct Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's assault, Ye Guyi and Xu Ye, who were beside Lin Yao, also moved.

Xu Ye was a long-range agility-type Spirit Master. With four colorful leaves spinning in his hands, he stood behind Ye Guyi, helping her fend off Wang Dong's attack.

Unfortunately, Wang Dong had spiritual sharing and detection this time; for a long-range fighter like Xu Ye, it was like meeting his strictest father.

Within just a few minutes, he was knocked off the arena by Wang Dong.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi on the high platform revealed a smile, but the next moment, her smile vanished.

Lin Yao had made his move. He intentionally allowed the three Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons to pin him, and immediately, Xiao Xiao's expression turned ugly.

Lin Yao grabbed the base of one cauldron with each hand and then hoisted the two massive objects into the air.

Once lifted, Lin Yao hurled them toward Wang Dong.

Wang Dong was startled by this; since they were his teammate Xiao Xiao's Martial Soul, he couldn't use his spirit power to shatter them, so he had no choice but to flap the wings of his Radiant Goddess Butterfly to dodge backward.

Just as he dodged, Ye Guyi arrived above and behind Wang Dong, her fairy-like foot landing squarely on his back.

Wang Dong felt his back sink and immediately turned to counterattack, but the next moment, Ye Guyi's knee pressed against his mouth, pinning him to the ground.

Lin Yao crouched down, his gaze locked onto Huo Yuhao. His lips moved, seemingly saying something.

Huo Yuhao frowned. Using his spiritual sharing and detection to analyze the lip movements, he was able to discern the words:

"Old Huo, are you ready? Here comes the big fortune!"

While Huo Yuhao was still processing what this short sentence meant, Lin Yao pushed off the ground with both feet, the Ender Dragon wings on his back unfurling. A look of astonishment appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Before Lin Yao had spread these dragon wings, his spiritual sharing and detection had completely failed to detect them or anything on Lin Yao's back.

Seeing these massive wings, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Lin Yao didn't give Huo Yuhao a chance to wonder. In a flash, he was right in front of him.

Huo Yuhao hastily deployed his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step to dodge backward, while his hands turned white, already channeling his Mysterious Jade Hand and Crane Control Dragon Capture, attempting to use Tang Sect techniques to stall Lin Yao.

But in the face of absolute stats, these techniques were meaningless. Lin Yao grabbed Huo Yuhao by the collar and pulled him straight into the sky.

Without using spirit power to protect him, Huo Yuhao felt the powerful airflow in mid-air like knives striking his face, causing the muscles in his cheeks to tremble violently under the intense pressure.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to resist, Lin Yao began to spin and rotate rapidly with him in mid-air, the speed increasing with every second.

Caught in this frantic rotation, Huo Yuhao couldn't even maintain his spirit power, let alone his spiritual sharing and detection. A wave of nausea surged within his chest...
