“Alright.” Huo Yuhao replied. Although his face was still blus.h.i.+ng, his eyes were filled with affability as he looked at Ma Xiaotao.

He walked towards the door to her room as he spoke. When he was about to open the door, Ma Xiaotao said suddenly, “Yuhao, I would like to hear your story when you are willing to tell me.”

Huo Yuhao turned and smiled brightly at Ma Xiaotao, “I will.” Ma Xiaotao sensed the intimacy she had with Huo Yuhao as their gazes met.

Huo Yuhao breathed out heavily after he closed the door behind him. He felt extremely energized, which was something he had never felt before. Even the soul power in his body had been enhanced. He almost screamed because of the carefreeness he felt. He wanted to announce to the world that he had an elder sister!

After returning to his room and opening his room door, Huo Yuhao saw w.a.n.g Dong sprawled on his bed in an unglamorous sleeping posture. A greater sense of warmth filled Huo Yuhao’s eyes as he saw w.a.n.g Dong. Without a doubt, w.a.n.g Dong must have had been waiting for him to return. The both of them were just exhausted yesterday, and sufficient rest was enough for them to recover.

As he tiptoed to the bedside, Huo Yuhao lifted his hand and slapped w.a.n.g Dong’s b.u.t.t. “Time to wake up.”

“Aiyo.” w.a.n.g Dong whined in pain and jumped up.

For some reason, Huo Yuhao compared this slap he gave to w.a.n.g Dong to the hug he had given Ma Xiaotao last night…

w.a.n.g Dong’s b.u.t.t was much smaller, but was equally perky. His b.u.t.t was very springy even though he was wearing pants.

w.a.n.g Dong was dazed for awhile after seeing that it was Huo Yuhao. He then scanned him for a few moments. Following that, he seemed alerted, “You weren’t wearing this yesterday!”

Huo Yuhao replied vey naturally, “Yes! I helped my elder sister suppress her evil fire yesterday. My s.h.i.+rt was burnt, and many parts of it were torn.”

“Elder sister?” w.a.n.g Dong’s tone of voice became higher.

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously and said, “Elder sister said that she’s unwilling to accept favors from anyone. If I’m willing to become her kin, she will love and protect me in the future. w.a.n.g Dong, do you know that I’m very happy? Ever since mom pa.s.sed away, I became an orphan. I finally have kin now.”

w.a.n.g Dong felt heartbroken as he looked at the flas.h.i.+ng radiance in Huo Yuhao’s eyes. He said almost instinctively, “You still have me!”

When he sensed the weird expression in Huo Yuhao’s eyes, he supplemented his words hurriedly, “We are brothers. Don’t tell me that you don’t treat me as your brother?”

Huo Yuhao chuckled, “It’s different.”

“What’s the difference?” w.a.n.g Dong asked stubbornly.

Huo Yuhao replied, “She gives me the feeling my mother did. Since we are brothers, your gender is totally different!”

“Err…” w.a.n.g Dong wanted to say something, but curbed his impulse. He snorted and said, “While you were enjoying your time with your elder sister, I was waiting for you here. If they didn’t let me find you, I’d have rushed in already!”

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, “You call this waiting? You didn’t even know that I came in. You were sleeping like a pig.”

“You’re the pig.” w.a.n.g Dong leapt towards him. Huo Yuhao turned around to escape and said hurriedly, “Stop playing already. Go and wash up before we have breakfast. We still have to compete.”

“There’s not going to be an individual compet.i.tion anymore. After the team compet.i.tion yesterday, the Star Luo National Academy has already conceded defeat. Their main team members are all injured. Who can they send to fight us? We don’t have to go today. We will also rest tomorrow. It’s the final the day after tomorrow!”

After learning that he didn’t need to compete today, Huo Yuhao relaxed. “It’s better not to compete. What happened in the other semifinal match?”

w.a.n.g Dong replied, “I was also in a daze, and didn’t see what happened. From what eldest senior said, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy gained an overwhelming advantage over the Imperial Profound Academy. But today’s individual compet.i.tion will still continue.”

“Overwhelming advantage?” Huo Yuhao suddenly felt petrified. The Imperial Profound Academy had 1 soul emperor and 6 soul kings. Without considering strategies, their abilities were above the Star Luo National Academy’s. After recalling how Princess Jiu Jiu used a few powerful soul tools to turn the tide against his side, Huo Yuhao felt his head getting heavier.

w.a.n.g Dong nodded and said, “I heard that they used less time than us in the team round. From the start to the end, the Imperial Profound Academy was completely suppressed and had no chance. I also heard that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy’s team leader has been promoted to a Cla.s.s 6 soul engineer. He’s very powerful.”

“Yuhao, I had an idea after I woke up yesterday.” w.a.n.g Dong started to become excited.

“What idea?” Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

w.a.n.g Dong said in a low voice, “Do you think that we are considered 1 person or 2 people when we unleash our martial soul fusion skill?”

Huo Yuhao shook his head at a loss and replied, “It’s not easy to tell. Even if it’s only 1 person, the difference from an ordinary soul master is still very great.”

w.a.n.g Dong blinked his large, beautiful eyes and said, “If Senior Xu can use the Mysterious Underworld Displacement to s.h.i.+ft us into the middle of our opponents, we can use……”

The two of them had great chemistry. Huo Yuhao understood w.a.n.g Dong immediately, “Are you saying… I understand now. But is this really possible?”

w.a.n.g Dong said, “We won’t know if we don’t try. Let’s ask Senior Xu later.”

“Alright.” Huo Yuhao replied immediately.

After they washed up and had their breakfast, they went to find Xu Sans.h.i.+ and relayed their idea to him.

After listening seriously to their description, Xu Sans.h.i.+ shook his head and said, “I fear that it’ll be very difficult. I might succeed if I can remain in the awakened form of the Xuanwu turtle. The thing is that my Mysterious Underworld Displacement can’t just s.h.i.+ft anyone. The prerequisite is that the person I’m trying to s.h.i.+ft doesn’t possess any defense-type soul skills that cover a wide area, which will prevent any displacement. It’s just like how I failed when Princess Jiu Jiu used the Starcrown soul skill. When a soul master uses his soul skill, my soul power will be depleted twice as fast if I want to displace him. The stronger the soul skill, the faster the depletion of energy. This continues until the soul skill can’t be used anymore. Let’s not even consider the question of whether you’re 1 or 2 people when the both of you use your martial soul fusion skill. Purely based on the fact that your martial soul fusion skill is immensely strong, I may not be able to displace the both of you successfully. I may succeed if I am in the awakened form, which will make me close to the rank of a soul king and supplemented by the Mysterious Underworld Force.”
