Chapter 44 Twin Martial Souls
Poseidon Lakeside.
Xiao Xiao was thoroughly enjoying the skewer of grilled grass carp in her hand. The fish skin was golden and crispy, the fish meat was tender, the seasoning was just right, and the cooking time was perfect. With the addition of just the right amount of chili powder, every piece and every bite of the grilled grass carp, except for the fish bones that were really inedible, made Xiao Xiao extremely fascinated. It was so delicious that she couldn't stop eating it!
Wang Dong, who had just been glaring fiercely at Xiao Xiao, now looked completely satisfied. The only remaining competitive spirit he had was probably the desire to eat more so that Xiao Xiao would eat less, thus bankrupting Huo Yuhao.
The midday hours flew by, and Huo Yuhao and the other two lay side by side on a lawn by the Sea God Lake, enjoying the cool afternoon lake breeze and chatting idly.
Huo Yuhao leisurely enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, narrowed his eyes, and uttered a somewhat lazy sound, "Let me first share my martial soul and soul skills. My soul power is level 37, and my martial soul is a spirit attribute physical martial soul—Spirit Eye, which is my eye."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao revealed three spirit rings: one yellow and two purple. The yellow spirit ring glowed slightly, and the world in Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes suddenly changed drastically. Centered on Huo Yuhao, within a radius of seventy meters, everything was exposed. From the actions of pedestrians passing by on the path to the gentle swaying of the lake water and grass in the breeze, and the insects crawling slowly on the ground, everything seemed to be digitized and reflected in their minds from every angle.
Wang Dong had experienced Huo Yuhao's skill before, but even so, he was still incredibly shocked. Xiao Xiao, lying to Huo Yuhao's left, was even more astonished, her eyes slightly glazed over. In her vision, the fine downy hair on Huo Yuhao's face shimmered with a golden halo under the sunlight, making him appear even more alluring.
Xiao Xiao swallowed hard, a blush returning to her face. It has to be said that she is truly talented to use the mental detection sharing in this way!
Huo Yuhao was aware of Xiao Xiao's actions, but out of politeness, he pretended not to know anything and continued, "This is my first soul skill—Mental Detection Sharing. You've all felt it, so I won't explain further. As for the consumption, don't worry. All my mental attribute soul skills primarily consume mental power; soul power is only consumed incidentally. I can basically hold out Mental Detection Sharing for an entire day without any pressure. Unless I encounter a group of two-ring Great Soul Masters or even a Soul Venerable, I will only use Mental Detection Sharing to assist you."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao immediately stopped releasing his skill, because he discovered that Wang Dong had also started using his shared mental detection ability to look at him, just like Xiao Xiao.
"Cough cough! Cough cough!" The moment Huo Yuhao withdrew his skill, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao coughed softly in unison. But when they heard the same reaction from the other, they exchanged a glance across Huo Yuhao in the air. They immediately understood and turned around, cursing each other as freaks in their hearts!
Somewhat amused and somewhat helpless, Huo Yuhao then flashed his second soul ring and released his second soul skill—Simulation. The three figures instantly merged with the surrounding vegetation.
"You're all familiar with this, my second soul skill—Simulation. Besides changing the environment, this skill can also change the aura, such as simulating the age of my soul rings to be ten thousand years." As Huo Yuhao spoke, he manipulated his three soul rings, which slowly changed from yellow and purple to three pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings. The aura of ten-thousand-year soul beasts emanating from the soul rings was exceptionally realistic. In fact, Huo Yuhao had simulated the first soul ring to be ten thousand years old, while the second and third soul rings actually revealed their true forms.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were mentally prepared, but they still couldn't quite handle the aura of the ten-thousand-year spirit ring. Huo Yuhao knew this, so he changed the spirit ring back to its usual state of one yellow and two purple rings.
As Huo Yuhao's spirit rings returned to yellow and purple, Xiao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She asked curiously, "Yuhao, can you simulate a 100,000-year spirit ring?"
Wang Dong immediately retorted sarcastically, "We can't even handle ten thousand years, and you dare to dream of a hundred thousand years?" But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something, his expression changing slightly. Looking at Huo Yuhao, he asked hesitantly, "If we simulate a hundred thousand years, the other side would probably just surrender, right?"
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said casually, "That's true, so I won't use this skill casually. After all, you two need to perform well in the freshman assessment. If I steal all the limelight, it might affect your future treatment as core disciples."
A hint of regret flashed in Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's eyes. Who wouldn't like to lie low and be carried by a big shot? It's just that there are loopholes but they can't take advantage of them, which makes them feel particularly uncomfortable.
"I won't demonstrate my third soul skill. I used it on Senior Xu Sanshi before, so it's even less likely that any of the freshmen could defend against it. I can't use it on anyone other than an enemy, as illusion-type skills tend to trigger some trauma in the victim. Fortunately, Senior Xu experiences trauma every day, otherwise..."
Xiao Xiao's gossip spirit instantly ignited, "What does Senior Xu Sanshi experience every day? What is it? Tell me! Please! Yuhao!"
Wang Dong seemed to remember something, but upon hearing Xiao Xiao's coquettish voice towards Huo Yuhao, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "Shameless! Vixen!"
Huo Yuhao had excellent hearing, and being so close, he clearly heard Wang Dong's words. Fortunately, Xiao Xiao probably didn't hear them, and Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, it's nothing much, just a matter of romantic relationships. I won't go into too much detail; you'll understand once you pay attention to it."
Xiao Xiao pouted and muttered with some regret, "Alright. Now that you've finished talking, let me share my martial soul and soul skills. My soul power is level 23, and my martial souls are the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute."
"Wait a minute? What did you say?" Wang Dong was immediately startled, his eyes widening as he looked at Xiao Xiao. "You have twin martial souls?"
Xiao Xiao glanced at Wang Dong, ignoring him, and instead focused on Huo Yuhao's reaction. To her slight disappointment, Huo Yuhao wasn't as surprised as she had expected. Xiao Xiao pouted, then puffed out her cheeks and gave Huo Yuhao a light tap, saying in a slightly spoiled tone, "What kind of reaction is that!"
Huo Yuhao coughed twice. As someone who knew the original timeline, he had tried his best to act as naturally as possible. As for not being surprised enough, there was nothing he could do about it.
Xiao Xiao snorted and continued, "The soul skills of my Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron are Cauldron Tremor and Cauldron Sway, both of which are control-oriented abilities. I also added a soul ring to the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute, and its soul skill is Slow, which is also a control-type auxiliary soul skill."
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were somewhat surprised. Huo Yuhao was naturally feigning surprise, while Wang Dong's was genuine. Everyone knows that the biggest advantage of twin martial souls is that after cultivating the main martial soul to the level of a Title Douluo, one can add spirit rings of all ten thousand years or more to the second martial soul. Xiao Xiao added a spirit ring at the second level, which is at most a thousand years. Since Xiao Xiao's main martial soul is only all hundred years, the second martial soul will most likely only have a hundred-year spirit ring as well. This behavior is actually a waste of his talent.
Xiao Xiao muttered softly, "The competition at Shrek Academy is so fierce, I want to give myself more competitive advantages."
Huo Yuhao then lightly chopped Xiao Xiao on the head, saying, "Actually, just revealing that you have twin martial souls is enough to make the academy take you very seriously. The additional spirit ring for your second martial soul is indeed quite a waste."
Xiao Xiao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she nuzzled her head against Huo Yuhao's hand with a hint of enjoyment. This small gesture suddenly reminded Huo Yuhao of a certain golden loli who was still fast asleep in his mental sea.
He patted Xiao Xiao's head again with some enjoyment, while Wang Dong, who was standing next to him like a third wheel, was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. She was the one who came first!
Wang Dong snorted loudly, interrupting Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao's actions, and then began to share his martial soul and soul skills.
Not long after Wang Dong finished explaining his situation, the three of them stood up, found a grove of trees nearby, and began to spar and practice their skills together.
