Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 20.3. The Body Soul's Secret

Huo Yuhao placed a finger to his lips. Keep your voice down, lest other people find out about this. Ive just told you my biggest secret.

From a certain standpoint, Huo Yuhao wasnt lying. Of course, that wasnt the entire truth, because in all honesty, a matter like the Skydream Iceworm would be too shocking. Now that hed found a suitable explanation for his Spirit Shock, Huo Yuhao heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that hed still have to face many different examinations along with his studies in Shrek Academy, and in order to face these examinations, he absolutely couldnt afford to conceal his Spirit Shock. Even so, hed have to find an explanation for it sooner or later, and the theory that hed just given to Wang Dong seemed to be rather suitable.

Wang Dong had a look of shock on his face as he looked at Huo Yuhao. A body soul is actually so awesome? It can even spontaneously evolve and create a skill.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said, This isnt anything special. Your Radiant Butterfly Goddess naturally possesses the ability to fly, right? The altitude of your flight will also increase as your cultivation increases. This kind of innate ability ought to be considered as your martial souls natural characteristic.

After pondering what Huo Yuhao had said for a moment, Wang Dong replied, Nope, its not the same. Youre right, the innate ability of my Radiant Butterfly Goddess is flying. But that spiritual attack of yours isnt an innate ability, since it appeared through the evolution of the Purple Demon Eyes. Meaning, your Spirit Eyes has the natural ability to evolve as a mutating body soul. This is something that my Radiant Butterfly Goddess can never compare to. Maybe some other kind of skill will emerge in the future when the Purple Demon Eyes evolve again.

Huo Yuhao chuckled sheepishly and said, Actually, its not any kind of skill either. A more accurate interpretation should be that the Spirit Eyes is continuously increasing my spiritual force. On the other hand, I found a use for it after releasing my spiritual force through my Spirit Eyes with the assistance of the Purple Demon Eyes.

Wang Dong nodded and said, I understand what you mean when you put it this way. Its just like how I purify or compress my soul power to attack and defend. The only difference between mine and yours is that your spiritual force is formless, so its even more difficult to detect it when you use it. I never thought that there would be such a clever way to use soul power.

When the doubts in his heart had been answered, there was a somewhat relieved expression in Wang Dongs beautifully big eyes. However, he quickly became extremely excited again. Yuhao, the martial soul fusion skill that those twins used was really powerful. Im afraid that we wouldve lost today even if wed had three soul rings! Even though a fusion skill cant last long, its still immensely powerful, and has an extremely powerful explosive force. It can be said to be the top-ranked skill for us Soul Masters. Their soul power is going to get even stronger in the future, right? If they can sustain their fusion skill for an even longer period of time, then it will definitely be extremely difficult for anyone of the same rank to contend against them. Itd be good if we could also have this kind of skill.

Huo Yuhao burst into laughter and said, Stop dreaming, how could such a good thing happen to us? I still recall that teacher said that the compatibility of ones martial souls needs to be extremely high before it will be possible for a martial soul fusion skill to appear. The possibility of it happening is so slim that not even a single one will appear among thousands. If and when two peoples martial souls are highly compatible, there will be a reaction between both parties. Weve lived together for three months already, yet have you had any feelings of compatibility with me before? In any case, I havent felt anything.

Huo Yuhao didnt expect Wang Dong to lower his head as he spoke, as though he was mulling over something. Moreover, his face had become slightly flushed.

Whats wrong? Huo Yuhao asked, puzzled.

Wang Dong seemed to have made up his mind when he raised his head. There was a somewhat strange look in his eyes as he looked attentively at Huo Yuhao, and began to speak in a serious tone. Since youve told me the secret of your body soul, then its not right if I conceal the truth any longer. The truth is, Ive always been concealing my ability, as well as my aura, to some extent.

Ah? It was Huo Yuhaos turn to be surprised. Wang Dongs strength spoke for itself. Hed already amply displayed the strength of his martial soulthe Radiant Butterfly Goddessduring the freshman examination. Wang Dong had only used his second soul skill once during the ten matches, but even then, no one had been able to see what exactly it had looked like. Yet, he was now saying that he actually still had a concealed ability. How could Huo Yuhao not be shocked at this?

Wang Dong continued, Although you cannot sense the aura on me, when I received that Spiritual Detection Sharing of yours for the first time, I could already feel that your aura was extremely close to mine. The reason that my aura doesnt extend outwards beyond the scope of my body is because its restricted by another power of mine. Youll only be able to sense the existence of my aura with close bodily contact. Do you want to try it out?

Close bodily contact? How do you want to get close? Huo Yuhao asked in a dim-witted manner.

Wang Dong suddenly became exasperated. Stupid, isnt it fine to just hug each other for awhile?

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, Is that so! You shouldve just said so. Do I need to undress?

No! Wang Dong gave Huo Yuhao a shock.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, Then come on. He willingly spread his arms out wide as he spoke, walking towards Wang Dong for a hug.

Wang Dong, on the other hand, was slightly dazed when he saw Huo Yuhao getting closer and closer to him. He didnt have Huo Yuhaos willingness, which in turn caused his body to unconsciously tense up. His whole being seemed to have entered an especially rigid state.

Huo Yuhao hugged Wang Dong in a very natural manner. From his point of view, it was a hug between friends. Wasnt this very normal? But, when he really hugged Wang Dong, the feeling changed slightly.

He suddenly remembered that this was the first time that theyd been so intimately in contact with one another, making him suddenly recall the time when hed seen Wang Dongs figure from behind once more.

Hed originally thought that Wang Dongs body would be as muscular and sturdy as his. After all, they were both Soul Masters who painstakingly trained their bodies and cultivated their soul power everyday.

However, when he hugged Wang Dong, it was completely different from what hed imagined. Even though Wang Dongs body was elastic to the touch, it was also extremely soft; the kind of softness that made him feel as though he had no bones. Moreover, he also had a faint fragrant smell on him. They were about the same height, so when Huo Yuhao hugged Wang Dong, his face was to the side of Wang Dongs neck. When his chin rubbed against Wang Dongs slender neck, the smooth and sleek feeling made his mind tremble slightly.

Huo Yuhao really wanted to let out a sigh, but he felt that something was wrong. However, at his age, his knowledge in certain areas was still insubstantial, and thus he didnt think too much of it. He only felt that hugging Wang Dong was much more comfortable than hed imagined it would be.

How does it feel? Wang Dong practically mumbled. He didnt put his hand on Huo Yuhaos back and hug him the same way; rather, he only let Huo Yuhao hug him. The feeling that he had was also different from what Huo Yuhao felt. Huo Yuhaos body was very sturdy, and he also had a heavily masculine scent that was accompanied by the faint scent of sweat that youngsters had. Such an experience made Wang Dong blush deeply.

Its pretty good. Very comfortable. Huo Yuhao subconsciously answered, based on what he felt.

Wang Dong went blank for a moment, but his expression immediately became one of anger after a moment. Stupid, did I let you hug me so that you could feel comfortable? I was letting you feel the aura of my martial soul!
