Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 24.1. The Bet

Wang Dong laughed. Are you a masochist? Right, lets cultivate for a while here. Once Old Lady Zhou comes back and sees that we were cultivating while she was gone, shell definitely think that were very hardworking. Im sure that her mood will improve as well.

Huo Yuhao knocked him on the head and said, Youre an expert at doing these crafty things.

Rubbish, youre the one whos doing crafty things. Weve got a match in the afternoon, and we were somewhat drained from the match earlier, so whats wrong with recovering as soon as possible? Are you gonna do it or not? Hurry up. As he spoke, he took off his shoes and sat on the sofa in a cross-legged position. After that, he extended his hands out towards Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao had always cultivated whenever he had free time, so naturally, he wouldnt refuse. He mirrored Wang Dongs position and placed his palms against Wang Dongs palms. Then, they simultaneously circulated their soul powers.

As their soul powers circulated and fused with one another, it felt somewhat different from yesterdays cultivation. Their soul powers seemed to have become more intimate, and their cultivation speeds during the initial stages of the fusion were clearly much faster than they were yesterday; the Haodong Power had already appeared in the instant they touched. As they willed it, the Haodong Power circulated along their cultivation paths at a speed that was at least 10% faster than yesterday.

When they started cultivating, they shut their eyes. As such, they didnt notice that three blue, purple, and gold lights had slowly emerged from their palms. These three lights revolved around their arms and started to hover around their bodies, and gradually, a layer of color appeared on their bodies.

Originally, they were merely planning on recovering some of their soul power. However, they quickly entered a meditative state once their cultivation started, resulting in them losing all awareness of the world.

Not long after they began cultivating, Zhou Yi returned with another person in tow. If the two of them had been awake, they wouldve definitely been astonished. This was because the person that Zhou Yi had brought back was their proctor during the round-robin tournament, Teacher Wang Yan.

Zhou Yi was startled by the appearances of the two as they cultivated, while Wang Yan was completely astonished. Afterwards, the two of them unexpectedly gave each other a signal to remain silent.

An inquiring look appeared in Zhou Yis eyes, but Wang Yan merely shook his head. After that, he quietly walked towards their bodies and squatted down, observing their conditions. In addition to that, he started to carefully pay attention to the soul power undulations they were generating as they cultivated.

As he continued to pay attention to them, the astonishment on Wang Yans face increased. He subconsciously started to rub his hands.

Zhou Yi and Wang Yan had known each other for a while; she knew that this action of his signified his nervousness and excitement. Moreover, she was a teacher herself. As such, she could also sense how unusual Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongs current state was. At the very least, she had never seen something like this before. Two soul masters were unexpectedly cultivating together, and not only did their soul powers not interfere with each other, they even fused together. They could see how quickly they were cultivating from the circulation of the three lights, and knew that even a three-ringed Soul Elder wouldnt be able to cultivate as fast as them!

After completing thirty-six cycles of cultivation, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stopped. The two managed to completely recover the soul power they had lost during their earlier match, and they even managed to increase their cultivation levels by a step.

The two of them simultaneously let out a sigh, slowly retracting their respective soul powers. This then caused the three lights revolving around their bodies to slowly dissipate.

As they opened their eyes, the two felt somewhat refreshed. Their current cultivation speed was simply too satisfying. However, they were quickly startled by the scene in front of them.

Teacher Zhou, Teacher Wang? To his astonishment, Huo Yuhao saw Zhou Yi and Wang Yan seated on chairs not far away from the sofa, fully concentrated on them.

Wang Dong was also astonished. Only then did the two remember that they were still in Zhou Yis office.

Huo Yuhao spoke with a slightly embarrassed voice. Teacher Zhou, we wanted to recover some of our soul power and prepare for the afternoon match. Thats why we

Zhou Yi waved her hand and said, No need for any explanations. Being hardworking is always a good thing. This person is Teacher Wang Yan, an excellent teacher from the Academys theoretical faction. Hes even one rank higher than me as a teacher. Hes very well-learned with regards to martial soul fusion skills.

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, I dont think that I need to introduce myself. Weve met before. I was their proctor during the round-robin tournament. The current him had already regained his usual calm look, but as for whether he was truly calm on the inside, only he himself knew the answer to that.

Teacher Wang. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong simultaneously bowed to him respectfully.

Wang Yan nodded his head and said, Ive carefully observed your cultivations. In the beginning, I didnt believe what Zhou Yi told me, but now, Ive realised that I was inexperienced. Now, I can testify to Zhou Yi with a 100% certainty that you two have completed a martial soul fusion, and that you possess a fusion skill.

Zhou Yi looked at him with a somewhat astonished expression on her face, but she didnt interrupt him.

Wang Yan continued. Your soul powers are actually so compatible that they didnt even conflict with each other at all when they fused together. Moreover, the fusion even assisted your cultivation. This has never been seen in the ten-thousand-year records of Shrek Academy. Theres only one explanation for thisthat is, your martial souls are perfectly compatible, achieving a perfect 100% compatibility rate. Only this legendary occurrence could allow your soul powers to perfectly fuse without any distinctions whatsoever, and allow you to share your cultivation speeds. Congratulations. I can even foresee that you two will definitely become Chosen of our Shrek Academy in the future.

Huo Yuhao couldnt help but secretly admire Wang Yan as he listened to his words. Hed heard of the words Perfect Compatibility from the Skydream Iceworm, but Wang Yan was able to deduce this by merely observing their cultivations, even though he didnt fully understand them. It was no wonder he was a representative of the Academys theoretical faction.

Puzzled, Wang Dong asked, Teacher Wang, since thats the case, why did our fusion skill fail today? Huo Yuhao and I tried it out earlier, but nothing happened!

Wang Yan chuckled. Do you think that fusion skills are ordinary soul skills? How could the activation of a fusion skill be so simple? Your martial souls and energies have to be at their peak conditions for a fusion skill to be activated. This is the first time Ive ever seen two people with perfect compatibility rates, but according to my experience, theres a fixed resting period for the activation of a martial soul fusion skill. Moreover, you wont be able to activate it during this time period. This period normally lasts seven days, but that will gradually lessen as your cultivations increase. This will happen all the way until you can completely master your fusion skill.
