Chapter 50: Smiles Only Transfer, Twins + Soul Fusion Skill!

When it was Xiao Xiao's turn to take the stage, her opponents didn't even bother to step up.

They directly conceded defeat right from the spectator seats.

Xiao Xiao wore a puzzled expression, her left hand on her hip while her right hand pointed at the waiting area.

"Where is your backbone?"

"This lady is only a Second-Ring Grand Soul Master, and I don't even have a ten-thousand-year soul ring!"

The people she pointed at looked up at the sky, looked down to count ants, or stubbornly chewed their fingernails.

They made up their minds to ignore her completely.

It made Xiao Xiao stamp her feet in pure anger!

Wang Dong chuckled from behind.

Indeed.

Smiles do not simply disappear; they merely transfer to someone else.

Huo Yuhao did not show much reaction to this, leading the others back under the tree to begin that day's lessons.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao read their books.

He was reading three books simultaneously while also performing physical training.

Even his meals consisted of soul beast jerky, without a single second of interruption.

Influenced by this, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao also started joining in on the grind, consciously incorporating weighted training into their routines.

Mu En could not help but sigh at the sight—talented yet working this hard, no wonder he was chosen by the deities as a successor.

If he were a deity, he would love this kind of person too.

......

In the afternoon.

Just as the three of Wang Dong arrived at the arena, Wang Yan walked over with a smile.

"Your opponents have all conceded."

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao: "......"

What in the world!

They couldn't even get a sparring match?

"Understood, Teacher Wang. Then we're heading back to cultivate," Huo Yuhao said politely.

And so.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao followed Huo Yuhao to begin their physical conditioning, except the latter had three books balanced on his head.

The two of them would also, during the brief intervals, retrieve books from their storage rings to glance at for a few moments.

Even if they couldn't match Huo Yuhao's terrifying efficiency, accumulating knowledge little by little yielded very impressive results.

[Rewrote the fates of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, +200 Fortune Points!]

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao felt even more motivated.

He pulled out a fourth book, attempting to multitask five ways at once.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao: "......"

Are you seriously not going to stop until you work us to death?!

......

The next day, at the Soul Combat Arena.

This was the third day of the freshman examinations, and the final results would be decided today.

Wang Yan approached them proactively once again.

"You've got to be kidding me, someone is surrendering again?" Xiao Xiao widened her eyes and said, "Our next opponents should be the champions of the other brackets, right? They don't even dare to fight?"

"Not quite," Wang Yan said with a smile. "I came looking for you guys. After the freshman examinations end, would you be interested in joining my class?"

So he was trying to poach students.

"No need, Teacher Wang. Teacher Zhou treats us very well, and if possible, I hope to remain in her class," Huo Yuhao politely declined.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao said nothing, which meant tacit agreement.

This time, due to the changes in their identities and the more scientific training regimen they followed, the three of them were essentially in a state of free-range cultivation.

Zhouyi only occasionally dropped by to act as a living dictionary, helping them patch up any flaws in their knowledge.

They got along quite well.

Seeing this, Wang Yan let out a regretful sigh.

"Very well. Your opponents for this match are the team led by Huang Chutian from Class Seven. They're still a bit tricky to deal with."

Huang Chutian?

"That name sounds a bit familiar," Xiao Xiao murmured, rubbing her chin.

"He's the one who, on the second day of the semester, was the first to break away from the team and mock us. Later, after Teacher Zhou cut off their resources, he transferred to another class on his own," Huo Yuhao reminded her.

"Oh right! The monitor has a great memory!"

"Great, I'll take this match!" Wang Dong volunteered eagerly, seizing the initiative.

Xiao Xiao, who was a step slower, curled her lips. Whatever, she'd let him have it.

The moment he stepped onto the soul combat arena.

Wang Dong didn't give the opposing side a chance to speak and took the lead to provoke them—

"Huang Chutian, is it? Want to prove yourself?"

"I'll fight you all by myself. As long as you can win, it proves your Class Seven is better than my Class One!"

"Of course, if you aren't even a man, you can just surrender right now."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only did the expressions of the three opponents change, but even Zhouyi and the Class Seven head teacher, Mu Jin, who were watching from the spectator stands, had their thoughts stirred.

"Zhouyi, the students in your class really are arrogant," Mu Jin remarked with a mocking tone.

"Dissatisfied?" Zhouyi said coldly. "Wanna make a bet?"

"You mean Wang Dong versus Huang Chutian and the other two?" Mu Jin pressed.

"Yes."

Joy surged in Mu Jin's heart.

This mortal enemy of hers had taken the bait!

The twin sisters beside Huang Chutian possessed a Soul Fusion Skill.

Even though Wang Dong had a ten-thousand-year third soul ring, just how massive was the energy consumption of a ten-thousand-year soul skill?

Their chances of winning were quite high!

"Alright," Mu Jin said, restraining her excitement. "If you lose, you'll have to get Fan Yu to forge a close-combat soul tool for me!"

"No problem, but as an equivalent stake, you have to give me a soul bone," Zhouyi countered, turning the tables on her.

Not gonna lie.

Mu Jin hesitated for a fraction of a second.

Had this bitch caught wind of the rumors and learned that she had recently acquired a soul bone?

But thinking of the twins' Soul Fusion Skill, she gritted her teeth—

"Deal!"

Both women smiled.

Mu Jin was smiling because Zhouyi lacked intelligence and didn't even know that the Lan Susu sisters possessed a Soul Fusion Skill.

Zhouyi held the exact same reasoning: you simply understand nothing of the might of the Holy Fire Cult!

Had the academy not kept holding her back, she would have already joined the Holy Fire Cult long ago.

Down on the soul combat arena.

[Rewrote the fates of Zhouyi and Mu Jin, +500 Fortune Points!]

Huo Yuhao blinked and glanced up at the spectator stands.

Zhouyi happened to look down and gave a subtle nod from afar.

Meanwhile, Mu Jin's lips moved, and her powerful spiritual consciousness captured the sound-transmitted message—*Accept Wang Dong's challenge, if you win this match, I'll reward you with a soul bone!*

Across the stage, Huang Chutian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo instantly felt as though they had been injected with chicken blood!

A soul bone!

"Alright!" Huang Chutian shouted loudly. "Let's fight!"

Huang Chutian hammered his fists against his chest, his martial soul manifestation causing him to surge to a height of one meter eight. Thick muscles ripped through his school uniform, exposing his iron-black upper body.

No martial soul appeared behind the twin girls; only their hair began to glow.

Were they body-type martial souls as well?

Two yellow soul rings rose beneath each of their feet, which could be considered the optimal configuration for freshman examinations.

Wang Dong simultaneously summoned the Light Goddess Butterfly, causing the Lan Susu sisters' eyes to light up. What a gorgeous martial soul, and what a handsome young fellow!

If they weren't in the middle of a match, they would have definitely gone over to strike up a conversation.

Wang Dong dove low to the ground, charging straight at Huang Chutian, launching the attack all by himself despite being outnumbered three to one!

"Audacious!"

Huang Chutian let out a low roar, leaping three meters into the air and bringing his fists down like hammers toward Wang Dong.

Wang Dong showed no fear whatsoever, meeting the attack head-on in a direct collision.

"Boom!"

Huang Chutian was sent flying backward instantly, only to be caught by the hair of the Lan Susu sisters as an overwhelming torrent of blue hair surged forth like a tidal wave toward Wang Dong.

Wang Dong spread the wings on his back, effortlessly slicing through the web of hair without even using a soul skill, pressing his advantage to launch another charge.

"He's too strong!" Huang Chutian yelled. "Quick! Use that move!"

The Lan Susu sisters turned to face one another, clasping hands as intense soul power fluctuations erupted from them.

This caused Wang Dong to let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Such a familiar scene.

When he noticed that the four soul rings of the Lan Susu sisters had detached and were now revolving around the two of them externally—

He finally realized—this was a Soul Fusion Skill!

The dozen meters of flowing blue hair in the air wove together into a massive web over a hundred meters wide, descending directly upon Wang Dong from above.

Soul Fusion Skill: Net of Heaven and Earth!

Catching a butterfly with a net?

Xiao Xiao took half a step forward, wanting to lend a hand.

Her shoulder was pressed down by Huo Yuhao, stopping her.

"Trust Wang Dong, he can handle it."

"Alright then......"

Inside the sea of hair.

Wang Dong even had the leisure to admire the sky full of blue hair, raising a hand to stroke the strands above him.

"Pretty smooth, you must take good care of it usually, right?"
