Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 84 Xiaoqi
“Beibei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan... and the four of you.”

Having dealt with the cheater, Genko returned to his disheveled appearance and began chugging wine.
“From today onwards, the seven of you will be part of Shrek Academy’s reserve team, training with me one day a week. In the fifth week, you will embark on your journey to participate in the competition.”

"I hope you remember—"

"This competition is not just about the academy's victory or defeat, but also about dealing with the Sun Moon Empire's frequent provocations and tests! Only by severely suppressing their arrogance among the younger generation and crushing their future ambitions can we secure a longer period of peace for Douluo Continent."

"do you understand!"

As he spoke, Xuanzi's crimson eyes swept over the group, sending a shiver down their spines.

did not expect…

This slovenly, filthy, gluttonous, and alcoholic old man is actually an unparalleled expert!
"Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong will stay; the rest of you can leave."

Wiping his mouth, Xuanzi called the two to his side, his gaze shifting between them before finally glancing at Wang Yan beside him: "...Did you figure it out?"

"what?"

Wang Yan, who was so engrossed in studying the evil fire that he was mentally exhausted, was stunned and didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Hmph! Can't you even see that?"

Xuanzi pointed at the two: "They have a close relationship and work together seamlessly, and they even both possess weapon spirits. This is a possibility for spirit fusion!"

As soon as he said that, not only Wang Yan, but also Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, who were completely unaware of what was going on, were shocked.

Is this the principle behind Martial Soul Fusion Skills?

…hiss?

It seems quite possible.

Existing cases of martial soul fusion skills either involve two people whose martial souls are naturally compatible, or two people who influence each other through long-term contact, successfully increasing their compatibility and initiating fusion.

Although the two people in front of me are not exactly inseparable, they are still good friends. They are together every day, so it is not impossible for them to become close.

"Strange."

Wang Yan adjusted his glasses and carefully looked at the two people standing side by side. He wondered if it was because they both had twin martial souls, but their auras were indeed somewhat similar.

While it may not be a perfect match, it's definitely a 30-40% fit.

"This feeling~"

Wang Yan leaned on their shoulders for a few seconds, feeling around, then his brows furrowed: "Is it the Haotian Hammer?"

He could sense an inexplicable fluctuation emanating from Wang Dong, actively responding to the energy that was drawn to him, but it did not originate from the Goddess of Light Butterfly.

This was the first time such an event had occurred in his many years of research on martial souls. It could only be assumed that Wang Dong's second martial soul was activated by an external force and became active on its own.

"Come on! You two, release your martial spirits and put your hands together..."

Wang Yan continued to give instructions, but just as their hands were about to touch, Wang Dong's eyes suddenly filled with blue light, and a strange energy arose out of thin air, blasting their martial spirits away.

"Wang Dong!"

The next instant, Wang Dong, who suddenly unleashed a strange power, collapsed to the ground amidst Xiao Xiao's exclamation.

At the same time, a terrifying pressure also flashed by, causing the skylight in the entire arena to change color instantly, as if some mysterious entity was watching and then withdrawing its gaze, causing Xuanzi to tremble.

'This? Could this be the power of a Limit Douluo?'

'The Clear Sky Sect actually has a Limit Douluo in charge?'

Xuanzi pulled Wang Yan away and used his soul power to envelop the two who had been thrown back.

Judging from their actions, they probably unintentionally triggered the protective measures that the Haotian Sect had placed on Wang Dong. Although he did not feel any sense of crisis, it was hard to guarantee that there would be no belated damage.

……

"This is?"

Just as Wang Dong repelled Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, who was far away in the Soul Guidance Department, paused, touched his slightly trembling brow, and subconsciously looked towards the arena.

The power of destiny within their minds seemed to be stirred by something, giving a vague and unclear response. "Tianmeng, Xuedi, do you have any special feelings?"

Huo Yuhao carefully sensed it, but found nothing special.

"what?"

Tianmeng paused for a few seconds, then exchanged a glance with Xue Di, both seeing the same thing in each other's eyes...

stupid.

"Yuhao, are you too tired? Did something unusual happen?"

Tianmeng couldn't help but complain, "Speaking of which, you really need to change your non-stop cultivation mode, otherwise one day you'll break your nerve."

"It can't be that bad... I'm very careful about getting enough rest. I only slept for two hours last night, my head was practically glued to the pillow."

Huo Yuhao chuckled twice, then couldn't help but frown.

Don't you feel anything?
Could it be that he sensed something wrong just now?

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen."

After pondering for a long time, Huo Yuhao could only sigh and continue heading towards the library.

……

"Wang Dong, are you alright?"

Xiao Xiao, who was guarding the infirmary, was startled by the movement of the person on the bed. The drowsiness that had just washed over her vanished instantly: "What you just did—"

"Suddenly you've become unlike me?"

Wang Dong interrupted, abruptly sitting up, his gaze trembling as he looked at Xiao Xiao, his weakness revealing a hint of fear: "It's like you've become a different person?"

"Forehead."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment: "No, it's not that bad. It's just that my eyes suddenly turned blue, and then... there was a force that pushed our hands away."

"They're pretty much the same."

Upon receiving the answer, Wang Dong's face paled: "There's no difference. I'm not me at all."

There really is something wrong with his head!
He had sensed something was wrong during his previous fight with Huo Yuhao, and now that such a huge commotion had occurred, it was almost certain that someone had tampered with his mental sea.

"what are you talking about?"

A few ambiguous words came crashing down on Xiao Xiao, who was startled and couldn't help but reach out to touch his forehead. But Wang Dong grabbed her wrist.

"Xiao Xiao, I trust you the most. You absolutely must not tell Huo Yuhao what I'm about to say!"

"……it is good."

Xiao Xiao's lips twitched, and she inexplicably recalled her conversation with Huo Yuhao earlier.

Am I your confidante? You're always pulling me aside to tell me your innermost thoughts.

"Actually, I've always had doubts that I'm not myself at all."

Taking a deep breath, Wang Dong slowly spoke under Xiao Xiao's numb gaze: "I have no father, let alone a mother. I just grew up in the sect and was carefully looked after by the two sect leaders."

"But as I grew older, I found that my earliest memories only went back to when I was four or five years old, and they were all blurry fragments. I could only find complete memories after I was six years old."

"The two sect leaders kept this matter a secret, only asking me to recognize them as my fathers and to keep it a secret. It was also their idea for me to disguise myself as a man and enter Shrek Academy—but I always felt that someone else had arranged it this way, and that they never really wanted to see me leave the sect."

"Most importantly, occasionally, they'll let something slip..."

At this point, Wang Dong's voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear of the true owner of this body: "They weren't calling me at all, but another name: Xiao Qi!"

The moment he uttered that name, even Xiao Xiao, who was sitting next to him, clearly sensed a momentary lapse in Wang Dong's gaze.

Something seemed to flicker in his eyes, half-awake, before returning to silence.
