Chapter 129 Martial Soul Fusion Technique
After figuring out the specifics, Xiao Xiao obediently followed Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong back to the clearing in the woods.
She still had a hint of apology on her face, and her big, round eyes would occasionally glance at the two of them, as if to make sure they really didn't blame her.
However, at this moment, looking at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong embracing each other again, she felt only peace in her heart.
There were no misunderstandings, no sadness, and none of those messy emotions.
All that remained was curiosity and anticipation: would the two of them really have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and what would it be like?
In the center of the open space, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stood embracing each other.
Their soul power surged once more, and that familiar aura intertwined and merged in the air.
Gradually, both of them began to emit a faint blue-gold light.
The light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the two of them like a flowing curtain of light.
Xiao Xiao stared wide-eyed, not blinking.
Then, she saw a huge phantom eye appear behind Huo Yuhao; it was his Martial Soul, the Spirit Eye.
Meanwhile, a butterfly of light appeared behind Wang Dong.
Two enormous shadowy figures floated silently behind the two.
Then, they started to move.
The Spirit Eye and the Goddess of Light Butterfly slowly rose, higher and higher, until they drew closer to each other in the air.
Then, they merged together above their heads.
In that instant, both martial souls seemed to vanish simultaneously.
Instead, there was a huge vertical pupil, with a pair of magnificent wings of the Goddess of Light.
The golden vertical pupil slowly opened, and a golden light shot out from it!
The light was dazzling and fast, shooting straight towards the edge of the open space.
Wherever it passed... all vegetation turned into nothingness.
The sturdy trees, the dense shrubs, and the lush green grass vanished without a trace in an instant under the sweep of that golden light.
Only a deep trench remained on the ground.
The ravine stretched straight out, over a hundred meters long, its edges so smooth it looked as if they had been melted by something, shimmering with a pale golden luster.
Xiao Xiao stood to the side, covering her mouth, looking utterly shocked.
This is the fusion skill of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's martial souls.
They succeeded!
Huo Yuhao suddenly felt his arms sink; Wang Dong's body had gone limp.
He quickly and firmly held Wang Dong in his arms, looking down at the slightly pale face in his embrace, his voice filled with concern: "Are you alright?"
Wang Dong's cheek rested against Huo Yuhao's chest, the posture was very intimate, but at this moment he could no longer care about being shy.
He was slightly out of breath and said softly, "It's nothing... I just used up a lot of my soul power."
The two successfully unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, but the cost was obvious.
Huo Yuhao was a level 45 Soul Master with abundant soul power, while Wang Dong was only a level 26 Great Soul Master, a difference of a full 19 levels.
The feeling of his soul power being drained left him completely exhausted.
It took Wang Dong quite a while to recover.
He took a few deep breaths, and his face gradually regained some color.
Then, he looked up at the golden ravine on the ground.
A look of surprise instantly appeared in those big, pinkish-blue eyes.
The ravine stretched straight out, with a faint golden light still appearing and disappearing within it.
"This is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Wang Dong's voice was filled with disbelief, which quickly turned into barely suppressed excitement.
"Looks pretty strong?!"
Huo Yuhao also looked at the ravine.
He thought to himself that this must be the first martial soul fusion skill recorded in history—"The Withering Amidst Brilliance, The Golden Path."
Xiao Xiao ran over at this moment, her little face also filled with excitement, her eyes sparkling.
"You two actually have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Her voice was full of amazement. She circled the two of them, looked at the ravine again, and clicked her tongue in wonder.
Then, she suddenly stopped and looked at the two of them.
"But shouldn't we give it a name now?"
Although this martial soul fusion skill had nothing to do with her, as a teammate and witness, she was happy for the two of them.
Upon hearing Xiao Xiao's suggestion, Wang Dong immediately nodded.
He lowered his head, his brows furrowing slightly, and began to seriously consider the name of this martial soul fusion skill.
"What should I call him?"
He muttered to himself, his voice not loud, but it did not escape Huo Yuhao's ears.
"This is our combined martial soul fusion skill, so it should possess the characteristics of both of our martial souls..."
He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up: "The Gaze of the Goddess of Light?"
He shook his head as soon as he finished speaking.
"No, no, that's not quite right..."
"Or perhaps 'The Light of Butterfly Eyes'? That doesn't quite fit either..."
Hearing her bring it up and then deny it herself, a thought suddenly flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind.
The name of this martial soul fusion skill in history was probably something that Wang Dong came up with little by little.
However… thinking of that incredibly long name, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily.
Although he was young, he didn't have any chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
Thinking about that name now always makes him feel a little embarrassed.
Therefore, he directly interrupted Wang Dong's thoughts.
"After being hit by this attack, you will be enveloped in a light golden color, as if you have become eternal."
"I think it's best to keep it simple and call it the Eternal Path."
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He looked up at Huo Yuhao, opened his mouth, and instinctively wanted to refute it, but this was not the answer he wanted.
This name is too simple. The name in his heart should be more magnificent, more resounding, and more worthy of this powerful martial soul fusion skill.
But... he opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Firstly, because his strength and talent were completely outmatched, he didn't really have the same confidence in front of Huo Yuhao.
Secondly, his denial might not even be effective.
From the first day he entered the dormitory, he knew that Huo Yuhao was not someone he could easily manipulate.
After a moment of silence, Wang Dong raised his head and forced a smile.
"The Eternal Path..."
He read it once, and then read it again.
"Hmm...this name is quite nice."
……
With Huo Yuhao, a "master," in charge, their team had already secured the championship.
But Wang Dong was still eager to create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, also because of a bit of pride in his heart.
He didn't want to just stand by and watch Huo Yuhao single-handedly turn the tide in the final decisive moment; he wanted to have a sense of participation too.
However, in subsequent matches, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were able to quickly secure victories most of the time.
Huo Yuhao's only time taking action was when they encountered a Soul Master, Ning Tian, from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities were indeed astonishing. Combined with the teammates' strong attacks, it once put Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao in a tough battle.
But Huo Yuhao ended the battle instantly with a single move.
Under the mental shock, Ning Tian lost his fighting ability. Without the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his other two teammates were also quickly defeated by Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, the freshman assessment has come to an end.
Huo Yuhao's team fought their way through the competition and successfully entered the top four.
In these final few matches, Yan Shaozhe, as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, made a special appearance to show his importance.
During the draw, the captains of each team came on stage.
As Huo Yuhao walked onto the stage, he brushed past Dai Huabin, who was walking off the stage.
Dai Huabin's expression was calm, without much emotional fluctuation.
Huo Yuhao knew that the other party had not recognized him at all.
Indeed, the frail child he bullied back then has now grown into someone he can only look up to.
It's normal that Dai Huabin couldn't have imagined such a change.
After the draw, Huo Yuhao returned to the team.
He remained silent and did not speak.
Wang Dong keenly sensed that something was off about his emotions.
Those big, light blue eyes fell on his face, scrutinizing him closely.
She leaned closer and whispered, "Yuhao, what's wrong?"
