Chapter 22: Wang Dong: Another Mutation? Zhou Yi's Surprise!

Page 1/3

Huo Yuhao was still unaware of what was happening in the spiritual realm. He was happily content with the fulfillment brought by the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm. Suddenly, a splitting headache struck him, and his spiritual power irreversibly began transforming into spiritual telekinesis. The process was no less agonizing than having flesh stripped from bone; it directly affected his spirit and soul, causing excruciating pain that pierced to the core of his being.

Zhuge Lan watched on, baring his teeth. Fortunately, he had spent an extra point of fortune earlier to block the sensation of pain. Otherwise, if the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm saw him writhing on the ground, how could it tease him so gleefully?

As for little Yuhao... Pain was a form of cultivation, and this was a crucial assist.

—Huo Yuhao’s grim appearance terrified Wang Dong!

“Yuhao? What’s wrong with you?”

“I just pushed a little, you were standing steady, how could this happen?”

“It’s fine, I’m here!” Wang Dong embraced Huo Yuhao to steady him, stuffing his own collar into Huo Yuhao’s mouth to prevent secondary injury.

He no longer cared about Huo Yuhao wriggling, cocooning, or clinging in his arms.

After enduring for nearly half an hour, Huo Yuhao’s limited spiritual power was finally fully converted into spiritual telekinesis. Exhausted, he collapsed weakly into Wang Dong’s similarly drained embrace.

“Whoosh—”

Unconsciously, the spiritual telekinesis radiated out, lifting all items in the dormitory as if in a zero-gravity field.

Wang Dong floated upward, looking around with effort before focusing on the figure curled in his arms.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao’s eyes gleamed with soul power as he concentrated against Wang Dong’s chest.

Having learned from the previous “lesson,” Wang Dong restrained himself this time, quietly pushing Huo Yuhao away and rubbing his flushed cheek to cool down.

Damn it! He was actually—

He’d tied himself up tightly; surely no one noticed?

Little did he know, Huo Yuhao paid no attention to the outside world, deeply engaged in an intense discussion within the spiritual realm.

“Brother Lan, didn’t you say it was for Brother Celestial Dream?”

“I only asked you to vote, not decide.” Zhuge Lan spoke slowly. “You vote for Celestial Dream, but both Celestial Dream and I vote for you, so 2 to 1, you awaken.”

Huo Yuhao looked toward the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm. Was it really like that?

With tears, the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm nodded.

“Brother Celestial Dream, your expression seems off. Did you really vote for me?” Huo Yuhao frowned. “I just feel...”

“No way!” the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm declared loudly. “I voted for you! We spend most of the time in the spiritual realm anyway; awakening spiritual telekinesis early is useless. Better to let you have combat power first!”

Huo Yuhao’s gaze swept back and forth.

Zhuge Lan smiled broadly, while the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm fought back its sorrow.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

Helplessly, Huo Yuhao said, “Brother Lan, stop always bullying Brother Celestial Dream.”

“Bullying him?” Zhuge Lan looked at the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm. “Tell me, am I bullying you?”

Would the Celestial Dream Ice Silkworm dare to speak honestly?

A warning sounded: Spiritual telekinesis awakening!

He decisively shook his head—no such thing!

“All right, they’re still waiting outside for you to get ready.” Zhuge Lan gestured with a wave.

A surge of spiritual telekinesis swept over, dispersing Huo Yuhao’s spiritual form.

His attention returned to the outside world, where he saw everything still floating, and gently set them down.

As soon as Wang Dong landed, he immediately ran outside the dormitory.

“Hurry to the classroom or you’ll be late!”

Huo Yuhao was startled!

Without thinking about anything unusual, spiritual telekinesis supported his clothing as he flew directly toward the teaching building.

Wang Dong summoned the Bright Goddess Butterfly martial soul, transforming into a dazzling butterfly fluttering behind him.

Flying one ahead and one behind through the air, they caught the attention of Mu En, who was lounging and slightly opened his eyes.

His gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao for a moment.

“Interesting.”

“Strange spiritual power suppression and a flight method without external tools...”

“No information can be found on the Holy Flame Meow Meow Sect. Are they hiding too well, or are they just emerging?”

“Old age... not worrying about it anymore.”

Mu En closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

...

Wang Dong came back to his senses and realized he had forgotten Huo Yuhao in the dormitory.

Just as he was about to return and fetch him, he almost collided with Huo Yuhao, who nimbly avoided him with a curved arc.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had not summoned a martial soul but could still fly midair, Wang Dong’s eyes nearly popped out!

“How... how can you fly like that?”

“The fusion of my martial souls caused my spirit eye to mutate again. My spiritual power transformed into a new form I call spiritual telekinesis, which allows me to manipulate objects remotely,” Huo Yuhao explained.

At the same time, from the luminous moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, he took out a white tiger dagger and controlled it with spiritual telekinesis, spinning it around his body.

Wang Dong’s mouth twitched unnaturally.

Mutated again?

Your spirit eye martial soul really is something...

“Why don’t I have that kind of luck?” Wang Dong muttered.

“The Bright Goddess Butterfly is already the strongest martial soul on the continent, and you want it to mutate too?” Huo Yuhao laughed. “My martial soul is naturally weak; I have to rely on mutation to evolve.”

Wang Dong gave an eye-roll.

And you actually said “rely on mutation to evolve”!

Such a rare opportunity coveted by soul masters a lifetime has become a mere enhancement method for you?

“Ding dong—”

“Class is about to begin, please...”

“No latecomers allowed!”

Their expressions tightened as they sped up their flight.

One after the other, they passed through the closed gate and rushed into the classroom, sitting down amidst a chorus of gasps.

Zhou Yi, who had just come out of the teacher’s corridor, stared at Huo Yuhao in amazement.

Her mind raced to recall facts.

Huo Yuhao entered at eleven years old, level eleven, leveled up four times in four days. His martial soul, the Spirit Eye, was his original martial soul, with a spiritual attribute and first soul skill: Shared Spiritual Detection.

Moreover, he had not summoned his martial soul, nor used a soul-guided flight device, and no soul bones were visible.

There should be no means of flight!

Zhou Yi was utterly baffled.

She waved her hand.

“Wang Dong, lead the class members for warm-up.”

“Huo Yuhao, stay behind.”

Everyone knew Zhou Yi was about to inquire about his flight.

Though curious, such secret matters were not suitable for many to know besides the teacher.

—Whether even the teacher could get the answer was uncertain!

After everyone left, Zhou Yi finally spoke—

“I’m just asking routinely to facilitate future teaching. If there are secrets you cannot reveal, you may refuse to answer.”

“Now, can you tell me why you were able to fly just now?”

Huo Yuhao did not hide much, explaining his martial soul fusion with Wang Dong, and that the awakening of spiritual telekinesis was due to a martial soul mutation.

Zhou Yi’s brow furrowed deeply.

“You said your martial soul mutated when absorbing the first soul ring, and your soul skill mutated as well.”

“This recent martial soul fusion and a night of cultivation caused another mutation, and your spiritual power mutated again?”

“And all this happened within six days?”

Huo Yuhao nodded cautiously—was it impossible?

Brother Lan said so; it should be fine, right?

Zhou Yi was deeply shocked, oblivious to Huo Yuhao’s abnormality.

She was lost in a frantic brainstorm.

A spirit baboon with ten years of cultivation, even at level 99, if it evolved due to a spirit eye mutation, it would indicate extremely poor martial soul quality!

Being able to evolve once without soul destruction would already be lucky.

To evolve again?

Along with spiritual power mutating and sublimating to manipulate objects...

Hmm?

Manipulating objects with spiritual power?
