Chapter 85

"Are you two not going to put on your iron clothes and run, but instead holding hands and falling in love here?"

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were startled and quickly let go of each other, running back to the dormitory as if they were flying. However, their hearts were beating very fast, not because of Zhou Yi's words about falling in love, but because of the strange changes in their soul powers.

The two rushed back to the dormitory, looked at each other, and saw the hint of strangeness in each other's eyes. Indeed! The situation that just occurred was too peculiar. Whether it was Huo Yuhao, who had learned a lot about soul masters in the past few months at Shrek Academy, or Wang Dong, who had extensive knowledge, neither had ever heard of such a situation. This was clearly beyond the scope of ordinary soul masters.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but say, "It seems that the sleep we had last night wasn't in vain!"

"Pah." Wang Dong glared at him, but still quickly raised his long, soft hands, "Let's try again."

Huo Yuhao was also eager to verify whether the situation that had just occurred was real, and quickly raised his hands to grip Wang Dong's.

As their hands touched, the flow of soul power immediately resumed. The two had different soul powers. Huo Yuhao's Xuantian Power was balanced and harmonious, gentle and smooth. Wang Dong's soul power was much more domineering, with a sharp and noble aura.

If Huo Yuhao's soul power could be compared to a gentle and sincere young man, then Wang Dong's soul power was more like a noble, high-ranking, and domineering young lady.

Despite the stark differences in their soul powers, they now formed a cycle, perfectly circulating within their bodies. During the process, these two soul powers quietly merged, intertwining with each other, without any conflict, as if they were originally one.

Huo Yuhao was somewhat better off, as his Xuantian Power was inherently very gentle. However, Wang Dong was filled with shock, knowing how domineering and powerful his soul power was, and how strongly it repelled others. The scene that unfolded was far beyond his understanding.

Even in this brief moment, both felt refreshed and invigorated. It was evident that if they continued to practice while holding hands, their progress would be much faster than practicing alone. Moreover, they both deeply felt that this was just the beginning. The perfect fusion of their soul powers could lead to much more than just the ability to practice together.

"Let's go, we'll run the laps first, and come back to study this in the evening." Huo Yuhao voluntarily let go of Wang Dong's hand, put on his iron clothes, and turned to walk out.

Wang Dong was slightly stunned for a moment, his lips twitching slightly. Huo Yuhao's words, combined with the mysterious embrace they had shared the previous night, made him feel a bit ambiguous. He clenched his fists behind Huo Yuhao and then put on his iron clothes to follow.

Running in iron clothes had been going on for three months, and they were now well-versed in it. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong ran diligently until the class bell rang, stopping only when Xiao Xiao came to the playground to find them. Xiao Xiao told them that Teacher Zhou had already left.

Huo Yuhao was drenched in sweat, while Wang Dong, with his much higher cultivation, didn't even break a sweat due to his deliberate control.

"How was it? What did Teacher Zhou say?" Huo Yuhao asked Xiao Xiao, still panting.

Xiao Xiao shrugged and said, "Actually, nothing much. She just encouraged everyone, instilling a 'kill or be killed' spirit, and analyzed the situation of our opponents. The difficulty of winning the championship is quite high. It seems that the round-robin matches were just a prelude, and Shrek Academy is never short of geniuses!"

Seeing her worried expression, Wang Dong said indifferently, "What's wrong? Even our dual soul master genius has lost confidence?"

Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "Of course I have confidence. However, there are indeed some people with better talent. Teacher Zhou just said that in the other five round-robin groups, three teams have three-ringed Soul Respects. How much confidence can you have against a three-ringed opponent?"

"Soul Respect?" Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong almost shouted in unison, their faces full of disbelief.

Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that so? Otherwise, why would I lack confidence?"

Huo Yuhao asked, "What did Teacher Zhou say?"

Xiao Xiao replied, "When Teacher Zhou mentioned those three teams, she didn't seem too happy either. She seemed to have just learned this news. Those three classes had never revealed that they had Soul Respect students. They are all special admissions, just like you."

Hearing this, Wang Dong laughed and said to Huo Yuhao, "Look, all special admissions, but why is there such a big difference?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless and said, "What's the point of saying this? We need to think about how to defeat our opponents."

Xiao Xiao said, "We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. Those three are the leaders of their teams, clearly not easy to deal with. Think about it, to break through to the three-ringed realm before the age of twelve, how powerful must their soul powers be? And they must have a family that supports them fully. Their soul rings must also be at the limit. Even if they're not as monstrous as Wang Dong, with a millennium-level second soul ring, they shouldn't be far off. I think even Teacher Zhou isn't too optimistic about us. I think we should aim for fourth place."

Wang Dong snorted and said, "So what if they're three-ringed? Soul Respects aren't invincible. We have our own advantages, your dual soul power, and my unexploited combat strength. Plus, Huo Yuhao's primary soul power and mental soul power. The three of us working together might not be inferior to others."

Xiao Xiao said, "Do you think I don't want to be first? Only the top three get substantial rewards. Fourth place is nothing. But our overall strength is indeed inferior to theirs. Think about it, a Soul Respect-level student, his teammates are at least as strong as us. We do have our own advantages, but unless the class leader also breaks through to level 20 and acquires a powerful mental soul skill, we might have a chance."
