Douluo Dalu 2 – The Unrivaled Tang-Clan c22

Part 1

“Why are you two holding your hands and acting all lovey dovey instead of putting on your metal suits and running?”

Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong were shocked and quickly let go of each other’s hands before running toward the dormitory. Their hearts were beating violently. Of course, it wasn’t because of Zhou Yi yelling about them dating, but because of the curious change between their Battle Spirits!

They rushed back to their dorm. With a glance toward each other, they saw the other’s surprise. Yes! What happened before was too strange. For both Huo Yuhao, who had gained quite a bit of knowledge in the last few months at Shrek Academy, and w.a.n.g Dong, who had vast experiences, this was the first time they had experienced such a situation. This was obviously beyond the knowledge of common Spirit Masters.

Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but say, “Looks like our sleep last night wasn’t for nothing!”

“Bah.” w.a.n.g Dong glared at him but still quickly raised his slender hands, “Let’s try it again.”

Huo Yuhao was also eager to confirm if what happened before was real and quickly raised both hands to grasp w.a.n.g Dong’s.

Their four hands grasped each other. Immediately, Spirit Power began flowing again. Their Spirit Powers were not the same. Huo Yuhao’s Mysterious Heaven Spirit Power was very calm and warm while w.a.n.g Dong’s Spirit Power was tyrannical and exhibited an aura of n.o.bility.

If Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Power were described as a warm and honest young man, then w.a.n.g Dong’s Spirit Power would be a high-born, lofty and domineering young lady.

In this way, the Spirit Powers with entirely different temperaments were making a circuit at this moment. Perfectly circulating within the two peoples’ bodies. In addition, in the process of circulating, these two types of Spirit Power unexpectedly, quietly fused. Inside you there is me and inside me there is you, there is no distinction between us. There wasn’t the slightest bit of conflict emerging. It was as if they were originally one whole.

Huo Yuhao was still a bit better off. After all, his Mysterious Heaven Spirit Power was originally gentle. w.a.n.g Dong on the other hand was full of astonishment. He was fully aware of how tyrannical and valiant his Spirit Power was, along with its even more intense nature. Now though, the current scene was well beyond his scope of knowledge.

In such a short circulation period, the two people both had a lively and invigorated feeling. It was clear to see that if they were to hold hands like this to cultivate, it would be much faster than each of them separately cultivating on their own. Moreover, they both deeply felt that this was merely the beginning. In this way, the two peoples’ Spirit Power perfectly fused together. The capability that was derived from it, wasn’t this more than simply being able to cultivate together?

“Let’s go. We should first go run laps. We’ll properly study it again when we return in the evening.” Huo Yuhao took the initiative to release w.a.n.g Dong’s hand. He draped the metal suit over his shoulder, turned around and walked out.

w.a.n.g Dong slightly panicked for a moment after hearing his words. The corner of his mouth also twitched a bit. Huo Yuhao’s words, in addition to yesterday evening’s mystery of hugging him and sleeping together for a night, made it difficult not to have some ambiguity rise in his heart. Behind Huo Yuhao, he gestured with his clenched fists before seizing his metal suit and closely following.

Wearing the metal suits to run had already continued for a period of three months. At this moment, doing this again was a walk in the park. Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong ran in an experienced and honest manner until the bell for cla.s.s dismissal finally rang. They didn’t stop until Xiao Xiao came to the field looking for them. Xiao Xiao informed them that Teacher Zhou left already earlier on.

Huo Yuhao’s entire body was sweating while the one with the much higher cultivation, w.a.n.g Dong, had painstakingly controlled it so that sweat hadn’t appeared.

“What happened? What did teacher Zhou said?” Huo Yuhao was panting while posing the question at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao shrugged and said: “Not much. Just gave us some words of encouragement. Also to spread the idea that we can handle any sort of opponent. Then she also shared her a.n.a.lysis of our opponents.  It’s going to be difficult for us to win first place. It really seemed that everything before was just a preview and Shrek Academy was never lacking in geniuses.”

After seeing the worries in her eyes, w.a.n.g Dong said proudly: “What? You don’t even have faith in your dual Battle Spirit?”

Xiao Xiao tightened her lips and said: “Of course I have confidence. However, I have to say that there are people that have greater talent than us. Like how Teacher Zhou just said, from the examination of the five other sections, there are three groups with members with three spirit rings. Facing them, how much confidence can you have?”

“Spirit Elder?” Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong both said with shock, and the disbelief can be seen from their faces.

Xiao Xiao laughed bitterly. “Of course. You think I would be so lacking in confidence if not for that?”

Huo Yuhao asked: “What did Teacher Zhou say?”

Xiao Xiao replied: “When Teacher Zhou mentioned those three groups, she also didn’t seem to be very happy. It almost seemed like she just got the message herself. The three cla.s.ses never spread the news before this. Also, they are the same as you, all special acceptance students.”

After hearing this, w.a.n.g Dong laughed and directed his words at Huo Yuhao, “Look, all special acceptance students, yet such a huge difference.”

Huo Yuhao was unable to come up with a comeback and said, “What’s the point of talking about this? The most important thing is to think about how are we going to deal with them.”

Xiao Xiao said, “Everything will have to depend on fate. The three of them are all leaders of their teams. You know they are going to be hard to deal with. Just think about how powerful your Battle Spirit has to be to break the barrier of three rings before the age of twelve. Also, they must also have been backed up by a powerful family. Their spirit rings most likely are also at a very high level. Maybe not not as high as w.a.n.g Dong’s; to have a second ring in the thousand-year level, but should be close. It seems like even Teacher Zhou won’t bet on us. So, I guess we will aim for number four.”

w.a.n.g Dong sneered and said, “So what if they have three rings? It’s not like it is impossible to defeat a Spirit Elder. We have our advantage, too. Your dual Battle Spirit, and I haven’t even completely shown my full abilities. Adding on to Huo Yuhao’s Body Battle Spirit and mental attribute. If we work together, we just might win.”

Xiao Xiao said, “You think I don’t want to win first?! Only the top three places receives physical awards. The fourth place receives nothing.  However, we really are not as good as the other teams. Think about it, if one of the teammates is a Spirit Elder, the others must at least be Spirit Grandmasters like us. We do have our advantages. However, we don’t stand a chance unless Cla.s.s President can break through level twenty and also acquires another mental ability soon.”

Part 2

Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Xiao and then glanced at w.a.n.g Dong. He said seriously, “Don’t you worry yet. It might be true that we are not as good as the others, but if we lose confidence now, then we definitely lose any chance at winning. Xiao Xiao, think about the challenges we faced against the Lan sisters. However, we still won at the end. The Lan sisters’ Battle Spirit Fusion is definitely on par with the spirit ability of any Spirit Elder, if not better. Other’s have their advantages, but we do, too. Our advantage is that we still have hidden talent. We only have one goal and that is to win as champions.”

Xiao Xiao’s confidence seemed to have been suddenly awakened as she slightly nodded her head. “Fighting. We will do our best together!”

Huo Yuhao stretched out his right hand. w.a.n.g Dong quickly put his hand on top of Huo Yuhao’s before Xiao Xiao was able to put her hand in too.

“We are champions! Definitely.”

Huo Yuhao said, “Xiao Xiao, the roasted fish that I owe you will probably have to wait a few more days. The following battles will be very important to us. No matter what, we will have to focus on increasing our cultivation in the following few days. Even a little bit of improvement may greatly improve our chances at winning. After the tournament, you can eat as many roasted fish as possible. I won’t be setting up my fish station anymore. Let’s focus cultivating first.”

Xiao Xiao chuckled and said, “There will be interest for paying off a debt. Cla.s.s President, you said it. From now on, I’m not going to pay for any of your roasted fish.”

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, “No problem, I can afford to treat you to roast fish.”

Xiao Xiao said, “Teacher Zhou said that when the cla.s.s bell rings tomorrow, we’re to gather at the examination district. She also told me tell you two, not to be late. The first thing that we should do is pray for good luck. However, Teacher Zhou said that teams which had complete victory in the round-robin tournament will have preferential treatment in the first two rounds of the knock-out compet.i.tion, and not be matched against each other. This is also the sole benefit of obtaining a good record in the round-robin tournament As long as we perform as always, there should be no problems entering the first sixteen. After that, we will have to see.”

Huo Yuhao said, “This is good news. Okay, let’s stop here. I’m covered in sweat so I will go wash first before eating.”

Xiao Xiao said, “Then I won’t wait for you two. I’ll go to the dining hall first. See you tomorrow.” She waved her hand at Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong and left.

Huo Yuhao turned to face w.a.n.g Dong with a frown and said, “It seems like earning a good record in the elimination rounds won’t be easy. Let’s go back to the dorms. I’ll take a shower, change clothes, and eat a meal. We’ll then properly study the Battle Spirit Fusion issue once again.”

“‘Okay.” w.a.n.g Dong nodded his head and seemed a bit uncommunicative. Even so much so that he was blank and listless. It wasn’t known what he was thinking about. After they returned to the dorm, Huo Yuhao grabbed clean clothes and a towel to go take a bath.  w.a.n.g Dong sat by himself on his bed, waiting for him.

“Bang.” The door closed. w.a.n.g Dong subconsciously lifted his head towards the dorm door. The blank look in his eyes gradually showed a bit of complexity.

In the early morning, due to being late, he never had the time to figure out Huo Yuhao’s debt of sleeping on w.a.n.g Dong’s bed last night with him. Presently, Huo Yuhao already acted like nothing had happened. However, w.a.n.g Dong’s feelings were entirely different.

I, I can’t believe I slept with him for the entire night. It also seems like we have accomplished Battle Spirit Fusion. And not a regular fusion either.

w.a.n.g Dong was unable to pinpoint exactly how he felt at this moment. He felt as if everything was a mess and he was unsure of the situation.

Time always seemed to pa.s.s faster when he was s.p.a.cing out. Not long after, Huo Yuhao came back fresh and clean. One could smell the scent from the shower as he walked through the door. w.a.n.g Dong raised his head and unintentionally stared directly into his bright eyes.

Huo Yuhao was still unable to detect w.a.n.g Dong’s change in mentality. He waved at him and said, “Let’s go get food. When we come back, we can try to understand Battle Spirit Fusion a bit more. Maybe it is our only way to get a good result in the compet.i.tion.” Right now, the compet.i.tion was all Huo Yuhao has on his mind.

w.a.n.g Dong seemed to find a focus in his confusion and nodded his head and said, “Ok.” Since everything had already happened, there was no point in thinking about it anymore. It might be best to focus on the compet.i.tion now. When Xiao Xiao mentioned the Spirit Elders, w.a.n.g Dong was also pumped up for the upcoming compet.i.tion.

He firmly believed that his own potential definitely would not be inferior to those Spirit Elders. The only reason he did not reach that level was because he had been lazy since young and did not want to cultivate. Level wasn’t everything. Defeating them would prove how he is the most outstanding.

After clearing this point, his heart was no longer in tangles. He followed Huo Yuhao to the dining hall and immediately gorged on a big meal. Since they went a bit later at night, by the time they finished their meal, the dining hall was already empty of people.

Returning to the dorm, Huo Yuhao properly locked the door so as to avoid people coming in and disturbing them during their cultivation. At the same time, he hung a “please do not disturb” sign outside the door. Every dorm room had one of these signs in them. Just by hanging it up, even a teacher would not knock on the door and disturb them. This is because this sign signifies that the student inside the room was cultivating.

However, Huo Yuhao’s common behavior made him slightly distressed. But, he quickly overcame it. By the time Huo Yuhao had turned around, w.a.n.g Dong had returned to normal.

“How do we start?” w.a.n.g Dong asked Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao said, “We’ll first try out cultivating while holding hands for a while. This way, we can also let the quality of our Spirit Power fusion become even better and more familiar. Then, we’ll once again attempt to use the Spirit Power from the fusion to amplify every one of our spirit abilities. In the evening, we’ll go outside of the academy again and test out the Battle Spirit Fusion Skill.”

w.a.n.g Dong’s mouth twitched and he said, “You’re actually quite organized.”

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, “Of course. Don’t forget, I’m the cla.s.s president. Isn’t it natural that I would be organized? Come.” As he talked, he was about to sit on w.a.n.g Dong’s bed.

“What are you doing?” w.a.n.g Dong pushed against him.

Huo Yuhao puzzlingly said, “Cultivating! If we don’t sit properly, how are we going to cultivate?”

w.a.n.g Dong stood up and pointed a finger at Huo Yuhao’s bed, “We can cultivate on your bed.”

Huo Yuhao was speechless for a while, “If you’re not afraid of hurting your b.u.t.t, then I’m fine either way.”

w.a.n.g Dong clearly saw that Huo Yuhao’s complexion was somewhat ugly. Indeed, Huo Yuhao was somewhat unhappy. To him, they had been friends for so long already, yet w.a.n.g Dong was still having a fuss. So petty.

Part 3

w.a.n.g Dong insisted on his wishes to sit on Huo Yuhao’s bed, so they sat down there. Right after, w.a.n.g Dong was annoyed. Compared to his own soft, fur covered bed, this purely wooden bed didn’t even have a hint of comfort! However, he had to endure it. They had slept together by accident on his bed last night so he won’t let Huo Yuhao on his bed again.

Huo Yuhao was pretty lenient and calmed down after a short pause. He thought to himself: Oh well, everyone has their own lifestyles and I should respect it. With this thought, his hints of anger disappeared.

w.a.n.g Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao and found him looking over. He felt some distress but also apologetic and hurriedly raised his hands, “Let’s start. Just like you said, we will cultivate until dinner and see how it goes.”

Huo Yuhao raised his hands and matched against w.a.n.g Dong’s. Just as they came in contact, Spirit Power immediately started fusing. These two Spirit Powers circulating within their bodies and quickly completed fusion. Afterwards, it flowed smoothly within them as a mixture.

When they had discovered this magical phenomenon, they couldn’t examine it because time was short. Now that they were calmly cultivating, they slowly began to experience it.

Just as before, when their hands connected in cultivation, their Spirit Power rose quickly. Simply put, their rate of increase was around the sum of their usual rates.

That means, if Huo Yuhao cultivated an hour along and his Spirit Power rose by 1 while w.a.n.g Dong cultivated an hour and his Spirit Power rose by 1.2; then right now, not only was their Spirit Power circulating faster, but after an hour, their Spirit Powers would increase by 2.2.

This way, Huo Yuhao’s cultivating speed had more than doubled while w.a.n.g Dong’s speed also nearly doubled. Undoubtedly, the one who gained the most benefits was Huo Yuhao because w.a.n.g Dong’s cultivation was higher than his. If they cultivate like this from now on, then their cultivations will become closer.

It is shocking for a Spirit Master to double his cultivation speed! Huo Yuhao had originally planned to breakthrough level 20 by the time he graduates. But with this speed, he would be able to go above level twenty within three to four months. For w.a.n.g Dong, cultivating at such a speed might even allow him to breakthrough level 30.

After almost three hours of cultivation, the sky outside darkened and they rose from meditation. They retracted their Spirit Powers and their mixed Spirit Powers separated. They really did feel that their cultivation was much faster.

Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong opened their eyes and looked toward the other at the same time. They immediately saw the pleasant surprise in the other’s eyes. No matter how they were able to achieve this type of spirit fusion, it was still a great thing for them! Especially true for Huo Yuhao since he was able to gain a greater advantage.

They couldn’t wait to experience how their Spirit Abilities may be improved and this time, they discovered a profound mystery.

Every single one of their abilities could improve through spirit fusion and the improved power was extremely powerful, not only like adding one to one to get two. When they activate a spirit ability together, not only will its force double but the spirit power expenditure is halved. That means, when they were in spirit fusion, their spirit power exhaustion will be lessened. This is equal to gaining a new, high leveled spirit power when they fused.

So, their current situation couldn’t be called Battle Spirit Fusion but should more accurately be called Spirit Power Fusion. What made w.a.n.g Dong speechless was that after fusion, he as the stronger one was not in control.

When their bodies came in contact and their spirit powers mixed, Huo Yuhao became the primary controller. The moment he desires to release a spirit ability, w.a.n.g Dong would have to react, whether he wanted to or not. But when w.a.n.g Dong wanted to use a spirit ability after fusion, he required Huo Yuhao’s cooperation to do it. The power dynamic was very clear.

“Why would it be like this? So not fair.” w.a.n.g Dong said in frustration.

Huo Yuhao helplessly responded, “I don’t know either! Don’t worry. I will fully cooperate with you whenever you need me.

Even though he didn’t say it, he knew that this kind of situation must be involved with Daydream Iceworm. Or else, how would his weak spirit power be able to gain main control?

“w.a.n.g Dong, don’t be depressed. Our new spirit power from the spirit fusion needs a name. Lets use your name.”

w.a.n.g Dong laughed, “No need. w.a.n.g Dong Power? That sounds horrible. It would be better to take a character from each of our names. Lets called it HaoDong Power.”

Huo Yuhao shook his head, “It does sound a little better.”

w.a.n.g Dong stood up and felt his b.u.t.t. “Your bed is too hard. Lets switch to my bed tonight. Since you gain so many benefits from HaoDong Power, you’re treating me to dinner today.” As he said this, he slightly lifted his head and walked out.

Seeing his carefree att.i.tude, Huo Yuhao laughed. This guy. So stubborn, so arrogant. But actually has a good heart.

“Fine, no problem. My money was all earned from selling roast fish. If we finish it all then we can eat yours.” He quickly followed.

With HaoDong Power, no matter if it were Huo Yuhao or w.a.n.g Dong, they obviously experienced a change in their relations.h.i.+p. For Huo Yuhao, he and w.a.n.g Dong was not only friends and cla.s.smates but also brother. He believed that w.a.n.g Dong thought the same way. As for whether or not he was right, only w.a.n.g Dong knew….

As they ate dinner, Huo Yuhao had some doubts. This doubt came from his understanding of Daydream Iceworm. Daydream Iceworm had said that as long as his body’s endurance reaches a certain level, he will receive even more source power to improve the quality of his spirit ring while increasing his spirit abilities’ powers.

Part 4

After Huo Yuhao created Hao Dong Power with w.a.n.g Dong, he could feel every ability becoming stronger. Although he could also feel getting closer to his physical limits, he was still able bear this amount. Since this was the case, why didn’t the Daydream Iceworm upgrade his spirit abilities to normally be at that level?

“Fool.” Just as doubts began to build in Huo Yuhao’s heart, Daydream Iceworm’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Daydream Bro, you’re not asleep?” Huo Yuhao suddenly said with surprise into his mind.

Daydream Iceworm snorted and said, “Of course I’m not asleep. Do I love sleeping that much?”

Huo Yuhao inwardly criticised. If you didn’t love sleeping, how could you have managed to sleep for over a million years?

The Daydream Iceworm said, “The answer to your question is simple. Indeed, I did not bring your soul ring to the utmost limits of your body. It is because I cannot let you swell like a balloon. There is a fish, called the tiger puffer fish, that has thorns all over its body. Once it meets danger, it will instantly inflate; allowing the body to swell up and preventing the enemy from swallowing it. The fish only allows its body to swell to the limits in that moment of danger.”

“In this case, it’s own attack power has indeed been elevated to its highest extent. But what if there is a needle coming over? What will happen then? Your case is the same. If I elevate your soul ring to the point where you are at peak strength, once you suffer an unexpected attack or an accident during practice, you will be like a balloon and burst apart. So what I mean by your tolerance limit is the point where you can afford to have it with no side effects. When you fuse your Spirit Power with w.a.n.g Dong, this fusion will help improve  both of your bodies. That’s why I helped to completely fuse the Spirit Power from the two of you. The advantage is the greatest when the compatibility reaches 100%.

“In other words, under your Spirit Power fusion, the capacity of your body improves along with the strength of your Spirit Power. This allows you to carry the greater Spirit Power, and also improves your spirit abilities when used. This is the secret of your Battle Spirit Fusion.Ordinary Spirit Masters’ Battle Spirit Fusion is different in that aspect. For Battle Spirit Fusion, as long as you continue to practice together, your physique will improve over time. Your practice speed will also become the fastest.

“Of course, the process of improving physical fitness is relatively long. If, in the future, you guys can genuinely fuse, then the effect will be even better.”

Huo Yuhao asked in puzzlement, “What’s genuine fusing?”

Daydream Iceworm seemed lifeless for a bit as he said, “I don’t know. I haven’t tried it before as well. The two of you should just continue to try. Regardless of whether it’s Spirit Power fusion or Battle Spirit Fusion, the benefits given to you two is still immensely great. In the future, you’ll slowly learn through experience.”

Upon finis.h.i.+ng his sentences, Daydream Iceworm uncaringly stopped speaking and disappeared.

“Hey, you’re almost about to eat your rice through your nostrils.” w.a.n.g Dong saw that Huo Yuhao had been lost in thought for quite a while and waved his hand in front of Yuhao’s face.

“Eh……” Huo Yuhao hurriedly touched his nose, but saw w.a.n.g Dong chuckled at him.

“What were you thinking about? You were completely lost in thought,” w.a.n.g Dong laughingly said. He found Huo Yuhao’s foolish appearance to be very amusing.

Huo Yuhao said, “Of course I’m thinking of our Hao Dong Power. I’m thinking of the reasons why we’re capable of Spirit Power fusion. After considering the causes and effects, there’s only one possibility. Our compatibility must have been extremely high, and therefore, when we fused out Battle Spirits yesterday evening, we were capable of Spirit Power fusion.

w.a.n.g Dong’s eyes lit up, “Right! What you’re saying makes sense. If not because of this, then why else would we end up in a situation that no one else has? Hurry up and eat. After finis.h.i.+ng eating, we’ll go outside to test whether we can use a Battle Spirit Fusion Skill. However, do you know how to use it?”

Huo Yuhao was somewhat dumfounded as he said, “How would I know? I thought it would just occur naturally once the conditions are right…”

The two stared at each other and couldn’t help letting out a hint of a helpless, bitter smile. Indeed, although Battle Spirit Fusion Skills were talked about during cla.s.s, it was a skill used by an extremely small group. The teacher only briefly mentioned it, never mind talking about how to use it. After all, the number of people who could genuinely utilize a Battle Spirit Fusion Skill was really too small.

w.a.n.g Dong said, “Forget it. We’ll just try it out in the evening. If it’s no good, tomorrow we’ll look for Teacher Zhou Yi again and ask. See if there’s any method to utilize it.”

“Okay.” Huo Yuhao agreed while unceasingly calling out to Daydream Iceworm in his mind. He believed that, with the life experience of a million years, the Daydream Iceworm should know what to do.

“Fool! Why would you wake me up with such an insignificant matter? Just do what you did last night, stupid.” Daydream Iceworm was very upset when Huo Yuhao woke him up. He was just about to go to sleep and therefore, was quietly speaking that one line.

Do what I did last night? Huo Yuhao blanked out for a bit but soon realized the meaning. Hug?

Huo Yuhao and w.a.n.g Dong quickly finished their dinner. With curiosity and excitement, they ran out of the school campus. Today, Huo Yuhao did not prepare to sell his roasted fish. Just as he walked outside of the school gates, he had to apologize to all of his usual customers that were complaining; using the examination as an excuse.

“Let’s race.” w.a.n.g Dong said under his breath. He tapped his toe onto the ground and sped forward like a rocket.

If this was three months ago, Huo Yuhao would never have caught up. However, these three months obviously did not go to waste. Huo Yuhao’s legs were full of energy. Although it did not seem as easy to him as to w.a.n.g Dong, he was not slow. Every step he took left a clear footprint on to the soil as he catches up to w.a.n.g Dong.

Energy filled his muscles as the Spirit Power within him constantly replenished the consumed energy.

The night air was cool and pleasantly relaxing. At this moment, they felt like they were traveling with the wind. Without the restrictions of the metal suits, they felt fresh and cool, and were enabled to travel at their top speed.

In the end, w.a.n.g Dong’s foundation was far better than Huo Yuhao’s and quickly increased the distance. Only after the distance surpa.s.sed over three hundred meters did he slowed his steps and waited for Huo Yuhao to catch up.

“Hey, your speed is pretty good for a control system Battle Spirit Master, especially one that’s not specialized in direct combat.” w.a.n.g Dong looked at Huo Yuhao who had caught up and stated smugly.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, “We weren’t that far apart.  We should head into the woods.”

“Okay.” w.a.n.g Dong nodded his head. The two people looked around and saw that there was no one. They simultaneously launched and ran into the woods beside the path. After entering about several hundred meters inside, they finally stopped.

“Let’s just stay here. How do we test?” w.a.n.g Dong turned toward Huo Yuhao and asked.

Huo Yuhao said, “We’ll first test out Hao Dong Power’s recovering ability.” While saying so, he lifted up both hands towards w.a.n.g Dong.

w.a.n.g Dong lifted his hands and placed them against Huo Yuhao’s. They are now fairly familiar with the procedure after the afternoon’s practice. Just as they had predicted, after the Spirit Power fusion, Hao Dong Power has provided both of them with significant physical and spiritual growth. However, the rate of growth was not as good as during their cultivation practice.

“The effect is not that great, but at least there are some benefits.” w.a.n.g Dong stated to Huo Yu hao as his physical strength recovered.

Huo Yuhao nodded his head, opened his arms, and said, “Come.”

w.a.n.g Dong blankly stared at Huo Yuhao and was on guard, “What do you plan on doing?”

Huo Yuhao very naturally said, “Hug!”

“You……” w.a.n.g Dong’s complexion immediately underwent great change. One moment it was green, the next it was white. “Huo Yuhao, I didn’t think you were this kind of person. Do you believe that I won’t beat you until you won’t be able to provide for yourself for the rest of your life?”

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded, “What are you thinking about? So stupid. Have you forgotten how our Battle Spirit Fusion has occurred? Right now, our Spirit Powers are already compatible. Therefore, the simplist way to reenact the Battle Spirit Fusion is to repeat what has happened yesterday!”

w.a.n.g Dong finally realized what he meant and his face turned completely red. Although the sky had already darkened, Huo Yuhao was able to see it clearly with his Spirit Eyes.

“You should have explained before demanding a hug. Are you purposely embarra.s.sing me?” w.a.n.g Dong used anger to try to cover up his embarra.s.sment.

Huo Yuhao helplessly said, “Who would have imagined that you were thinking so unhealthily. We’re both men, what can we do? Hurry up. It’s better if we finish this sooner so we can go back earlier and continue cultivating.”

w.a.n.g Dong hesitantly said, “We wouldn’t possibly fall asleep again like last night in such a desolate place like this, right?”

Huo Yuhao speechlessly said, “We won’t. Today’s circ.u.mstances are different. You’re over-carefulness is like a woman’s. I’m coming.” While saying so, he rapidly took a step forward and hugged w.a.n.g Dong.

w.a.n.g Dong’s body went rigid in the split second that he was hugged by Huo Yuhao. His mind turned blank.. Since they were running before, Huo Yuhao was slightly sweating and the faint smell a.s.saulted his senses.

w.a.n.g Dong’s body was very soft and hugging him was as comfortable as it was last night. However, Huo Yuhao wasn’t thinking about enjoyment right now. At the same time that he hugged w.a.n.g Dong, he immediately started to circulate his own Spirit Power and opened his Spirit Eyes Battle Spirit. While w.a.n.g Dong soon took the hint as well and soon realized what was happening.

Their bodies were completely touching, causing the Spirit Power inside their bodies to rapidly transform into Hao Dong Power. Huo Yuhao’s pair of eyes seemed especially bright and the mild golden rays of light in his eyes flickered in the night. .

In a brief moment, w.a.n.g Dong pushed his Battle Spirit to circulate as well.

In an instant, both people had a bizarre feeling. Releasing their Battle Spirits while hugging was completely different than releasing their Battle Spirit by a.s.sisting each other to produce Hao Dong Power.

In the split second that the pair of ice-blue wings unfolded from w.a.n.g Dong’s back, their minds fell into a brief trance.
