Refusing Fusion, Leaving Huo Yuhao Wanting More

Wang Dong'er suddenly broke their connection, leaving Huo Yuhao a little uncomfortable, as though he had not had his fill.

"Wang Dong, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Did you remember how that felt just now?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The moment their soul power connected, Huo Yuhao felt it begin flowing freely between them.

Their soul power fused together, circulating several times faster. Cultivating in this state would greatly increase their cultivation speed.

"From now on, let's cultivate like this at night."

"Okay."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He really liked this feeling.

Wang Dong'er had broken the connection because she felt her second martial soul beginning to connect with Huo Yuhao's second martial soul.

She did not want Tang Wutong to awaken too soon, so she absolutely could not awaken her second martial soul.

Although this would cost her some combat strength, it was all worth it compared to having Tang Wutong seize her body.

"Come on, let's continue."

Wang Dong'er held out her hand again.

Smiling, Huo Yuhao placed his hand in her palm, and they circulated their soul power together to cultivate.

Meanwhile, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke to Huo Yuhao in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Yuhao, did you know your martial souls just fused? I never imagined your martial souls would be so compatible!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was extremely excited.

Huo Yuhao thought it over. He did not see anything similar about the Light Goddess Butterfly and Spirit Eyes martial souls.

"Also, I sensed that you seemed to have a second form of martial soul fusion just now, but Wang Dong gave up on it."

"Are you saying Wang Dong has twin martial souls too?"

"That should be the case. Your second martial soul is the Ice Martial Soul I gave you, though its exact form hasn't been determined yet. But fusion definitely did occur."

"You can try drawing on the power of your Ice Attribute Martial Soul and see whether it can fuse with Wang Dong's martial soul. If you two can achieve twin martial soul fusion, that would be incredible."

Following the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's instructions, Huo Yuhao began drawing on the power of his Ice Attribute Martial Soul.

Yet the moment the power of the Ice Attribute Martial Soul touched Wang Dong'er, she let go again.

"Yuhao, focus."

"Oh, okay."

Huo Yuhao tried once more and discovered that Wang Dong'er was indeed deliberately withdrawing whenever their second martial souls began to fuse.

"Why?"

Wang Dong'er sighed and decided she should explain things more clearly to Huo Yuhao.

"I can't use my second martial soul, so don't try to fuse with it."

"Oh, all right, then."

Huo Yuhao would not force Wang Dong'er, either, and began concentrating on cultivating with her.

When they woke early the next morning, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er felt refreshed and invigorated.

"It's getting late. Don't be late for class."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er hurried out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs.

They saw Xiao Xiao when they reached the ground floor.

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up as she looked at them. She noticed that the two seemed even closer now, with even their auras appearing to be linked.

"What did you two do last night?"

Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes and asked curiously.

"How did you know?"

Huo Yuhao had barely spoken when Wang Dong'er tugged at him.

Huo Yuhao had almost let it slip.

Hearing Huo Yuhao's answer, Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes even further.

"Come on, tell me. What exactly did you two do last night?"

"Nothing. We just slept."

"Oh, slept, huh? Did you sleep alone, or did you sleep together?"

"Of course, the two of us..."

Wang Dong'er immediately covered Huo Yuhao's mouth. The more he said, the worse he made it.

"It was nothing. We just discovered a better way to cultivate, so we cultivated all night."

"Oh, what kind of better cultivation method was it? You actually managed to cultivate for an entire night?" Xiao Xiao asked again in a teasing tone.

Wang Dong'er suddenly wanted to crack Xiao Xiao's head open and see what was inside.

"All right, all right. Let's hurry up before we're actually late."

After breakfast, they went straight to the classroom building.

The Soul Master matches would not begin until the afternoon. This morning, Zhou Yi would finalize the teams.

Xiao Xiao chatted with Huo Yuhao, hoping to pry a little more information out of him.

Wang Dong'er shot Huo Yuhao a look.

Huo Yuhao instantly shut his mouth and did not say another word.

That afternoon, everyone arrived at the Assessment Area.

The Assessment Area had been divided into many smaller sections so that multiple teams could fight simultaneously, saving time.

Otherwise, by the time they finished fighting, the semester would nearly be over.

Nearly a thousand students were taking part in this assessment. They were divided among thirty sections, each containing around ten teams competing in round-robin matches.

Wang Dong'er and her two teammates arrived at their Assessment Area and sat to one side, waiting for their turn.

The examiner came over, counted the students, and introduced himself. "Hello, students. My name is Wang Yan, and I'll be your examiner."

"During the assessment, you must be careful not to maim your opponents under any circumstances. Anyone found to have acted maliciously will be asked to leave the academy."

"Of course, you can also do your best to display your strength. I will intervene when necessary. However, when I step in, it means one team will be declared the loser."

"All right, enough talk. Let's begin the first match."

"For the first match, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao from Freshman Class One will face Ouyang Junyi, Chen Junfeng, and Zhao Haochen from Freshman Class Three."

Wang Dong'er looked at the three students from Freshman Class Three. They seemed a little familiar, and she realized they were the opponents she had faced in her previous life.

"All right, both teams, take your positions."

Wang Dong'er and her two teammates walked onto the field.

Wang Dong'er stood at the front, with Xiao Xiao right behind her and Huo Yuhao at the rear.

Huo Yuhao had Spiritual Detection, so even standing at the back would not obstruct his view.

Their three opponents were boys who looked utterly unremarkable.

Standing to one side, Wang Yan said, "Both sides, get ready. Begin!"

The moment Wang Yan finished speaking, the students on both sides released their martial souls almost simultaneously.

The Light Goddess Butterfly's wings unfurled, instantly drawing the gazes of the three boys opposite them.

Xiao Xiao raised her hand, and a small black cauldron appeared in it.

Huo Yuhao's eyes shone with a faint golden light. He intended to keep his presence as inconspicuous as possible.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao activated his soul skills: Spiritual Detection and Shared Vision.

All three members of their team could clearly perceive their opponents' movements.

"Have a big chicken drumstick!"

Across from them, Zhao Haochen conjured a chicken drumstick in each hand and gave them to his two teammates to eat.

Before they could finish their drumsticks, however, Wang Dong'er charged at them.

Seeing this, the other two hurried to counterattack.

Using the view provided by Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes, Wang Dong'er evaded their attacks and flew behind them.

Her second soul ring lit up, and the wings on Wang Dong'er's back radiated golden light.

"Butterfly God's Light!"

Golden energy blasted directly into all three opponents.

At the same time, Xiao Xiao's Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron split into three, slamming into the boys just as Butterfly God's Light struck.

Caught between attacks from the front and rear, all three opponents collapsed to the ground, unable to resist any further.

"The first match is over. Freshman Class One wins."
