Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 23.4. The Golden Road Amidst Withering Resplendence

Do you think sorry will cut it? Do you think that being late is just a small matter? Let me tell you this. Being late represents laziness, and laziness at your age is something extremely serious. If you only have this reason to defend yourself, you can screw off. Tell me, I need a logical explanation.

Only then did Huo Yuhao respectfully reply, Teacher Zhou, please dont be angry. This is what happened. Do you still remember what happened? When we met Huang Chutians team, they had a pair of twins who were called Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.

Yes. Zhou Yi replied.

Huo Yuhao continued, During that match, we almost lost because the Lan sisters were able to activate a fusion skill. We were only able to forcefully block that powerful skill of theirs after working hard together. After that, we finally won that match and ended the round-robin tournament with a perfect score.

After we got back, we both envied the strength of their fusion skill. Thus, we decided to try it out and see whether our martial souls could fuse. The school doesnt have a class that specialises in fusion skills, so we could only try it out by ourselves. However, who knew that our martial souls would fuse together on our first try? During the fusion process, we fell asleep on Wang Dongs bed, and class had already started by the time we woke up. Thats why we were late yesterday.

As Huo Yuhao continued his explanation, he clearly felt Wang Dong softly pinch the skin on his waist and twist it a hundred and eighty degrees.

He felt an intense sensation of pain, but he didnt dare to show it. However, his expression immediately stiffened by a bit.

A martial soul fusion? Zhou Yi was stunned. She didnt think that Huo Yuhao would actually give a reason like this. She subconsciously asked,: Did you succeed?

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said, We werent sure about it yesterday. Thus, we tried it out for a moment when you asked us to run around yesterday, and it seemed to work. Later that night, we went outside the academy to try out our fusion skill. We never thought that itd actually succeed in one try. Furthermore, its strength seemed quite strong. However, this was the first time wed activated a fusion skill, so our soul power was overdrafted. After releasing it, we directly collapsed in the forest, and we were already late when we woke up. Teacher Zhou, we were truly late because we were diligently cultivating. This was just an accident; I promise you that it wont happen again.

With that, Huo Yuhao quietly raised his head and stole a glance at Zhou Yi. However, he only saw Zhou Yis dumbstruck expression.

You, youre telling me that you actually succeeded when you tried to use a fusion skill? Zhou Yis voice clearly rose in pitch. At the same time, she stood up with an astonished and excited look on her face.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong nodded simultaneously.

Zhou Yi excitedly said, Quick, let me see. Whats your fusion skill?

Huo Yuhao replied, Teacher Zhou, we still have a match in the afternoon, and well completely drain our soul power after using this skill.

Zhou Yi unhappily said, Your energy will be drained the most when you use it for the first time. It wont be that draining when you use it in the future. If soul masters were to faint whenever they released a fusion skill, wouldnt it become a suicidal move? Hurry up. Ill be responsible for helping you recover your soul power, so it wont interfere with your afternoon match. Come, just use it on me.

Since Zhou Yi had already said so, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong naturally wouldnt refuse. The two faced each other, and Huo Yuhao spread his arms and hugged Wang Dong in a very natural manner. Although Wang Dongs movements were still somewhat stiff, he didnt push Huo Yuhao away. He shut his eyes and spread his arms as well, hugging Huo Yuhao.

In the instant their bodies touched, they each released their martial souls.

Their soul powers instantly fused, causing the Haodong Power to flow through their bodies. The two of them felt as if their bodies were fused together.

One second, two seconds, three seconds passed

Teacher Zhous office was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard, but there were no other movements in the room besides the soul power undulations caused by Huo Yuhaos and Wang Dongs martial souls.

Zhou Yi widened her eyes as she stared at them. She was already prepared to defend against their attack, but the two of them were just standing there hugging each other without doing anything else. The corner of her eyelid was beginning to twitch.

The two of them could feel that something was wrong. In accordance with what had happened yesterday, their soul power shouldve quickly been drained! Then, a Golden Road Amidst Withering Resplendence shouldve been released in a single direction. However, nothing was happening at all.

Just what the hell do you two think youre doing? Zhou Yis cold voice sounded as if it was spoken through clenched teeth. The two couldnt help but feel a chill up their spines, and they subconsciously stopped hugging each other. An expression of shock instantly filled their faces.

Zhou Yis body was currently releasing killing intent; it was the second time Zhou Yi had given off this feeling towards the two of them. Old Lady Zhou was clearly about to blow up.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly spoke, Teacher Zhou, this was how we released our fusion skill yesterday! We dont know whats going on.

Zhou Yi spoke with a chilly voice, Are you trying to show off your gay love by hugging each other in my office? If I dont TAKE CARE of you two today, Ill

Without even waiting for Zhou Yi to finish her sentence, Huo Yuhao immediately sprung into action. He grabbed Wang Dongs hand and instantly used his Spiritual Detection Sharing on Zhou Yi.

Hmm? Zhou Yi was just about to blow up from her anger, but everything around her suddenly became clear to her. Her perception rapidly expanded, and within the blink of an eye, everything within a hundred meters of her became a clear three-dimensional image in her mind.

Why did his range increase by this much? Zhou Yi clearly remembered that the range of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection was only thirty meters or so the last time he had used it. However, it had turned into a hundred meters this time around. The magnitude of this increase was simply too large.

As he looked at Zhou Yis slight confusion, Huo Yuhao hurriedly explained, Teacher Zhou, do you remember what I said last time? I told you that my Spiritual Detection would evolve as my cultivation increases, and after your caring guidance during these three months, its range increased to around fifty meters or so. In addition to that, Ive found a way of concentrating its effects in one direction only, allowing its range to increase even more. On the other hand, the hundred meters that youre currently sensing wasnt done by me alone. After Wang Dong and I fused our martial souls, our soul powers fused as well. The reason why my Spiritual Detections range increased by so much, to the point where its even doubled in range, was due to Wang Dongs help. Doesnt this prove that we can fuse our martial souls? We really managed to use a fusion skill last night. If you dont believe us, we can bring you to the area we tested it out on. There are a still a few traces left there.

After hearing Huo Yuhaos words, Zhou Yi gradually calmed down; she knew that she had been slightly impetuous.

During these three months, she had seen Huo Yuhaos performance in the academy. Even as she looked through her memories, there had never been a student whod been more diligent than him. Furthermore, he was calmer than his peers, and had a few hints of maturity. Even if he wanted to lie to her, hed never tell a lie that could be exposed as easily as this one.

This was a perfect example of the saying everyone specialised in their own fields. Although Zhou Yi was a teacher from Shrek Academy, she wasnt too familiar with martial soul fusion skills. After all, these skills were truly too niche. After listening to Huo Yuhaos explanation, she had already believed them. As such, the anger in her heart quickly dissipated.

Waving her hand, Zhou Yi said, Fine. You can stop using your skill, I believe you two. Only, theres definitely something that went wrong when you were trying to use your fusion skill. Wait in my office for a while, Ill go bring a teacher whos familiar with fusion skills. Ill get him to dispel your doubts.

Old Lady Zhou was always a person who made swift and decisive decisions. By the time she had finished speaking, she was already outside, and was walking with quick steps

Once she left, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. The two of them collapsed onto the sofa, and Huo Yuhao used his left hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. Wang Dong wanted to use his left hand as well, but he noticed that Huo Yuhao was still holding it.

Release your hand. Wang Dong unhappily freed his hand from Huo Yuhaos grip. He then glared at him, Im blaming you for this. If it werent for you insisting on trying our fusion skill out, why else would we be caught by that Old Lady Zhou? We dont really have any secrets now, do we?

As Huo Yuhao leaned into the sofa, he chuckled, Blame me if you want to, but this isnt really a bad thing. Well be able to avoid doing things incorrectly if we have a teacher guiding our cultivation. Just when can you change this grumbling attitude of yours? Im the only one who can tolerate you.

Wang Dong humphed. I only do it when Im with you. If it were anyone else, Id be too lazy to even complain. However, its worth it, since we saw Old Lady Zhous stunned expression. Hey, do you think Old Lady Zhou will continue to teach us after we finish the knock-out tournament?

Huo Yuhao replied, Its hard to tell. Teacher Zhous teaching seems to be quite comprehensive, but she seems to place emphasis on a few different things. Only, were too young, and our cultivation levels are quite low, so we havent seen her specialties yet. In any case, well find out after we get reassigned classes once the knock-out tournament ends. Im hoping that well follow Teacher Zhou. Although shes somewhat strict, it isnt really a bad thing for us. At the very least, shell continue to encourage us to diligently cultivate and learn.
