Huo Yuhao was stunned. Yes! The surging soul power that was flowing through his body was the Haodong Power! It was the foundation of their compatible martial soul fusion skills. Furthermore, martial soul fusion required a process! In this world, there was only one person who could produce the Haodong Power with him. In this world, there was only one person whose hands felt so familiar to him.
Instantly, countless memories resurfaced in Huo Yuhaoâs mind.
â¦â¦
âYou are?â
âGet lost!â
âOkay...â
âYouâre from this dormitory, too. On account that you tidied up this dorm room, Iâll let you stay with me temporarily. However, I have a few rules that you need to remember. First, you canât bring anyone home. Secondly, youâre not allowed to annoy me with your naked self. Thirdly, youâre not allowed to snore when you sleep at night. Fourthly, you must not disturb me. Last but not least, youâll be in charge of hygiene in the dormitory, but you canât touch my mattress. Do you understand?â
âWhy do I have to listen to you?â
âIf you donât listen to me, Iâll chase you out! If you donât believe me, try me!â
âIâll do exactly that! Letâs go out.â
âI donât know your name yet.â
âBefore you ask for someone elseâs name, shouldnât you give your own name first?â
âIâm Wang Dong.â
âIâm Huo Yuhao.â
âVery nice, I think your name is going to disappear from Shrek Academy. Letâs go, fool.â
â¦â¦
Wang Dong replied, âAlthough you canât sense my aura, I could sense the closeness of your aura when you shared your Spiritual Detection with me for the first time. My aura doesnât spread because thereâs a force in my body restricting it. You can only sense my aura if you get close to me. Do you want to try?â
âGet close to you? How do I do that?â Huo Yuhao asked in a silly manner.
Wang Dong snapped, âFool! You can just hug me!â
Huo Yuhao chortled and said, âI see! You can just tell me directly. Do we remove our clothing?â
âNo!â Wang Dong was frightened.
Huo Yuhao laughed, âCome on, then.â
âHow does it feel?â
âNot bad. Itâs rather comfortable.â
âFool. Am I doing this to make you comfortable? Iâm asking you to sense the aura of my martial soul.â
âUh⦠I forgot. Letâs hug for a while more. Iâll try to sense your aura.â
â¦â¦
âHuo Yuhao, wake up.â
âWhat?â
âWhyâre you standing so close to me?â
âYouâ¦â
â¦â¦
âAiyo. Wang Dong, what are you doing?â
âWhyâre you asking me? Why were you sleeping in my bed yesterday?â
âUhâ¦â
âYou canât blame me. See, didnât you sleep too?â
â¦â¦
âWhat do you want?â
âTo hug!â
âYou⦠Huo Yuhao, I didnât think that you were such a person. Do you believe that Iâll whack you?â
âWhat are you thinking of? Fool, did you forget how we managed to fuse our martial souls? Now that our soul power can fuse, the simplest way of initiating our martial soul fusion is by repeating what happened yesterday!â
âYou didnât explain clearly before you hugged me. Are you embarrassing me on purpose?â
âWho knew that you had such a dirty mindset? What can two men do? Come on, letâs continue cultivating after we finish.â
âThis is the wild. Surely we wonât just sleep like yesterday?â
âNo, weâre in a different situation. Why are you so pushy like a woman? Let me do it.â
â¦â¦
âHuo Yuhao, get up.â
âDidnât you say last night that weâd stop hugging each other to sleep?â
âDid I say that?â
âYou⦠Iâm going all-out against you.â
âYou, you take a lookâ¦â
âWhat do I look atâ¦â
âIs this caused by your Radiant Butterfly Goddess?â
âNo, definitely not. Although my martial soul is golden, itâs either bright-gold or bluish-gold. Itâs never this kind of dim gold. This color seems to resemble your Spirit Eyes!â
âLetâs go down and take a look.â
â¦â¦
These scenes from the past flashed across Huo Yuhaoâs mind. He had never forgotten the first time he met this proud youth who had short pinkish-blue hair.
He couldnât forget the first time they had tried activating the Haodong Power.
He couldnât forget the martial fusion soul skill, The Golden Road Amidst Withering Resplendence.
He couldnât forget how they had fought shoulder to shoulder in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament.
He also couldnât forget the Raiment of Light that had appeared on the competition stage during the final round.
âHeâ was actually a âsheâ. Iâm such a fool! Iâm really too stupid. Iâm the biggest fool ever!
He recalled how Wang Dong had never bathed in their dorm room, and was never seen washing his face or changing his clothes.
He recalled how that handsome face didnât seem to fit the looks of a guy.
He recalled how they had shared the same bed on the night before he left.
He recalled the softness and gentleness when they hugged.
He recalled every scene and every second they had spent together.
Now that he thought of it, there seemed to be so many loopholes. Too many of themâ¦
However, Iâm such a fool. I only realized the truth after he held my hand on this blind date.
There was no Wang Qiuâer in this world. There was only Wang Dong, or rather, Wang Dongâer. The Raiment of Light was actually her grown-up appearance. The ravishing beauty that was imprinted in Huo Yuhaoâs mind was her all along!
Iâm such a fool, a fool that canât be saved. However, she still gave me a chance.
Brotherly love? Screw that brotherly love. I seemed to have found the romance that Iâm willing to sacrifice everything for!
No one would have expected him to be thinking of so many things as they saw his dazed look. He understood so many things because their hands met.
Wang Dongâerâs hands started to sweat. She also didnât know what he was thinking. She was actually more worried that he wouldnât accept the truth. If that was the case, everything would have gone down the drain. Even she didnât know whether he could accept this truth.
âHuo Yuhao, whatâs wrong with you? Letâs fight.â Dai Huabin shouted, jolting Huo Yuhao back to his senses.
His eyes filled with color again, an unprecedented color.
He looked much more determined as he held the smooth, small hand of the girl beside him. He didnât bother with Dai Huabin. Instead, he turned around and said to Wang Dong seriously, âI was really such a fool, a fool that canât be saved. However, Iâm also a stubborn and serious fool. If you donât want this fool, this fool will be very sad and be tormented for life. If you keep this fool, heâll protect you for life!â
Tears flowed down her face. She had expended a lot of effort, and finally used the Sea Godâs Fate to reveal her greatest secret. She had been very anxious, shy, fearful, and worried. But at this moment, all these emotions disappeared as Huo Yuhao confessed to her. What was left was only the sweetness in the shyness that she felt.
Heâs accepted my identity as a lady.
In fact, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao both knew that there were differences in the behavior of men and women, even though Huo Yuhao hadnât discovered her identity. Furthermore, Wang Dong had started to become more feminine as she grew up. Although Huo Yuhao couldnât tell, he had still had his doubts.
Especially after they showed the Raiment of Light, Huo Yuhaoâs doubts grew stronger and stronger. However, his focus was diverted by other serious matters, and he didnât uncover this secret.
When Huo Yuhao grabbed hold of Wang Dongâs hand and felt the surge of Haodong Power between them, the secret was revealed. The epiphany that followed made everything seemed so logical. It wasnât difficult for him to accept the truth; he was only coming to terms with his own feelings. The conflict and doubts heâd had about Wang Dong were converted into romance.
âHuo Yuhao, you havenât taken my challenge yet!â Wu Feng was angry after realizing that Huo Yuhao hadnât bothered with the rest of them, and continued to confess to Wang Dong.
It wasnât Wu Fengâs first time being shocked today. She only had one reason for coming to the Sea Godâs Fate today â she wanted to compete against Huo Yuhao!
When Wu Feng saw Ning Tian walking towards Huo Yuhao and saying what she said, she was astonished. She hadnât expected Ning Tian to choose Huo Yuhao. She was dealt a huge blow at that point in time, and was even more emotionally struck than when she lost to him. No one noticed how pale she was at that point, and her eyes had even carried a look of desolation.
It was only when Huo Yuhao tactfully rejected Ning Tian that Wu Feng felt the strength that she had lost come back. In that instant, she blamed him less. He didnât choose Ning Tian! It was a good thing for her.
However, this relief didnât last very long. When Wu Feng found Xie Huanyue, she had already awoken. She suddenly wondered why Ning Tian had chosen him. Was he that outstanding?
