Chapter 46 The Clash of Two Children's Martial Souls
Ma Xiaotao didn't say anything to Ye Nanxiao's apology. She turned her head away in a huff, refusing to look at him, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her feelings. 🐍🐝 ➅➈丂卄𝔲ⓧ.cσᗰ ♝☜
"So he wasn't avoiding me after all, that's good." Ma Xiaotao thought to herself, and the annoyance in her heart dissipated with Ye Nanxiao's explanation.
"What's your cultivation level now?" Ye Nanxiao asked, feeling that he had indeed been too relaxed about cultivation.
"Sixty-five, and I just broke through not long ago." Ma Xiaotao paused for a moment. "It's just that the evil fire was out of control during the breakthrough."
After saying that, Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "I've never really seen you cultivate. How much are you at now?"
Ye Nanxiao made a "41" gesture with both hands. Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly and muttered, "A bit slow. Beibei is almost catching up with you."
Ye Nanxiao felt a little embarrassed. Who was Bei Bei? A descendant of Elder Mu, who was a descendant of the Holy Dragon of Light?
However, all men are competitive, and Ye Nanxiao was no exception. Upon hearing that Bei Bei's cultivation had caught up, Ye Nanxiao clenched his fist secretly and made a decision in his heart: "I'd better hurry up and cultivate, otherwise the plan may change."
"However, I haven't seen you cultivate much usually. How come your cultivation level is still above Beibei and the others?" Ma Xiaotao asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Talent, do you understand talent?" Ye Nanxiao spread his hands, shook his head smugly, and laughed.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's smug look, Ma Xiaotao punched him in annoyance.
While the two were talking, Huo Yuhao and his two companions had finished their competition and were preparing to leave the assessment area when Ma Xiaotao suddenly asked, "Aren't Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong the people I almost hurt the other day?"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, and was about to ask Ma Xiaotao what she planned to do.
Ma Xiaotao carried Ye Nanxiao directly to the three of them. Ye Nanxiao was a little embarrassed. How could he, such a big person, be carried by Ma Xiaotao like a chicken? Would he still have the authority of an older brother in front of Huo Yuhao in the future?
"Uh, brother, senior sister Ma." Huo Yuhao looked at Ye Nanxiao, who was covering his face and being lifted up by Ma Xiaotao, and his lips twitched. Wang Dong covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing too loudly, while Xiao Xiao tried her best not to laugh out loud.
Wang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly as well. Ye Nanxiao, in a flattering tone, negotiated with Ma Xiaotao, "Um, Sister Xiaotao, why don't you put me down first? Look how many people are here."
Ma Xiaotao glared at Ye Nanxiao and said to Huo Yuhao and the other two, "You two, come with me. Junior, you go back first."
Wang Dong then took a closer look at Ma Xiaotao. Her red school uniform accentuated her curvaceous figure, and her fiery red hair and perfect face gave her the charm of a goddess.
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to say something, Huo Yuhao immediately shook his head at her, telling her to go first and indicating that the two of them would be fine.
It seemed that Ma Xiaotao had come with ill intentions. He didn't want to involve Xiao Xiao, and besides, this was the academy, and Ye Nanxiao was also there. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong both thought that Ma Xiaotao wouldn't do anything to them.
Xiao Xiao left somewhat reluctantly. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, led by Ma Xiaotao, walked towards the lakeside path. After walking along the path for a while, they arrived at the lake where they had been attacked.
Ma Xiaotao walked all the way to the front of the Sea God Lake before stopping. Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong kept a clear distance from her. Wang Dong looked wary, and Huo Yuhao was also feeling uneasy.
"Senior Ma, what did you call us here for?" Huo Yuhao asked tentatively.
Ma Xiaotao, with her back to them, said, "I know you should recognize me. That's right, I'm the student who ran away from the inner courtyard and almost hurt you. I had my reasons, and I apologize to both of you here."
Ye Nanxiao winked at the two of them, giving them a frantic hint.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's twitching eyelids, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, and then Huo Yuhao said, "Senior Sister Ma, what's past is past, and the academy has already given us compensation."
"An apology is still necessary, but I heard from Xiaoxiao that you guys have good talent."
Ma Xiaotao put Ye Nanxiao down and said to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, "I want to test your strength. Be careful!" As she spoke, a strong heat wave suddenly burst out, and crimson flames erupted from Ma Xiaotao's body like a volcanic eruption.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's outstanding talents made Ma Xiaotao want to test the two boys' abilities and see if this younger brother, who was often praised by Ye Nanxiao, was as Ye Nanxiao said.
Ma Xiaotao was unaware that Ye Nanxiao's praise was a ploy to get Fan Yu and Tang Ya to assign more work to Huo Yuhao so he could slack off.
Ye Nanxiao jumped to the side, his body radiating a chilling aura. He stared intently at Ma Xiaotao, then flung out the ball in his hand and began recording.
The wings of the Goddess of Light Butterfly burst forth from behind Wang Dong in an instant. As the wings unfolded, they were already covered with golden light patterns. The Mixed Strike was activated, and the Winged Guillotine was unleashed immediately.
Three months have passed, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's cultivation levels have improved significantly. Moreover, their teamwork is excellent. Under the sudden attack, their teamwork was evident. Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao from behind and flew up, quickly retreating backward.
Huo Yuhao launched a mental attack, his eyes flashing with purple light. When Ma Xiaotao looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes, she felt as if two needles had pierced her brain, causing her to feel dizzy for a moment.
Ma Xiaotao was careless. By the time she realized what was happening, Ye Nanxiao had already grabbed Ma Xiaotao's right hand, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had also retreated a lot.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's reaction and attack in an instant took Ma Xiaotao by surprise, prompting her to praise, "Not bad, you two little ones."
"Alright, calm down," Ye Nanxiao said gently, while simultaneously circulating his soul power. The pale purple soul power bond connected and helped Ma Xiaotao to slowly recover from Huo Yuhao's mental attack.
"Brother, what's going on here?" Huo Yuhao wasn't very knowledgeable, and he couldn't help but be curious when he saw Ye Nanxiao and Ma Xiaotao's soul power merging. Wang Dong vaguely guessed what was going on and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Kid, you need to focus on your cultivation, you know? Cultivate more!" Ye Nanxiao said to Huo Yuhao with a serious expression. The latter nodded solemnly, while Wang Dong rolled his eyes.
The next morning, Ma Xiaotao and Ye Nanxiao were still watching Huo Yuhao and the other two take their assessments.
"I'm asking you, how do you have so much free time?" Ma Xiaotao asked, puzzled.
Bei Bei and the others were all cultivating, but Ye Nanxiao was just wandering around the academy every day. Sometimes, when you accidentally encountered Ye Nanxiao, it might just be an avatar.
"I also have research projects on soul tools. I'm busy with so many research projects. As for soul power cultivation, as long as my cultivation progress doesn't fall behind, that's fine," Ye Nanxiao said calmly.
A gasp came from the audience, drawing Ye Nanxiao's attention. The two twin girls unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, a deep blue aura emanating from them simultaneously, obscuring their bodies and making it impossible for outsiders to see them clearly.
At the same time, their long hair at the back of their heads rose up, all turning into a crystal blue. The strands of hair were still so fine, but when they enveloped Wang Dong again, the feeling they gave Wang Dong and the other two was completely different.
"This soul skill is quite interesting." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, pondering how to get to know the Lan sisters.
"If you're willing to cultivate with me, our Martial Soul Fusion Technique will be even more powerful." Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes at Ye Nanxiao.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Ye Nanxiao shut his mouth and remained silent.
When Huo Yuhao faced the Lan sisters' inescapable trap, he remained remarkably calm. Wang Dong was entangled, and Xiao Xiao would face the same fate as Wang Dong.
Huo Yuhao roared, and the Heavenly Net that had reached Xiao Xiao seemed to be stunned by Huo Yuhao's voice, suddenly stopping. Deep within the Heavenly Net, a strong blue-gold light suddenly shone brightly.
"What is that?" Ma Xiaotao asked in surprise, her eyes wide as she looked at the Lan sisters who were falling into a coma.
"The soul skill you experienced that day, Yuhao's is a spirit-attribute martial soul," Ye Nanxiao explained.
Huo Yuhao's face was extremely pale after using his soul skill, and he could no longer maintain the mental detection sharing. Although he was not panting heavily like Wang Dong, his chest was constantly rising and falling, obviously indicating that he had consumed a lot of energy.
"They won." Ye Nanxiao stood up, patted his thigh, and walked towards the exit.
"Where are you going?" Ma Xiaotao asked.
"Go back and draw the design drafts." Ye Nanxiao waved his hand without turning his head.
"Tsk!" Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Nanxiao's back with displeasure.
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao and his two teammates entered a healthy round-robin tournament. In the end, Huo Yuhao's team, representing Class 1 of the freshmen, won all ten matches in the round-robin stage and achieved the best result in their region.
Back in the dormitory, the two were so exhausted that they lay down on the bed. Wang Dong pressed Huo Yuhao for the secret to defeating the Lan sisters. Huo Yuhao looked at her and was stunned for a moment because Wang Dong's eyes were so beautiful, with long eyelashes curling upwards and a pair of dark and lively eyes.
Looking into Wang Dong's eyes, Huo Yuhao felt as if his soul was being drawn in.
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yuhao made up his mind and explained to Wang Dong.
After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, Wang Dong's eyes widened. "You mean, your martial soul, influenced by the Purple Demon Eye, can actually launch a mental attack similar to a soul skill?"
Huo Yuhao held up his index finger to his lips and said, "Keep your voice down, are you afraid others won't know? This is my biggest secret, I've told you everything."
"Those twins' spirit fusion skill is really strong. If we were all at the third ring, we would definitely lose today. As their spirit power gets stronger and stronger, and they can support the spirit fusion skill for a longer time, it will be difficult for anyone of the same level to withstand it. I wish we could have such a skill too," Wang Dong said with envy.
"I remember that day, it seemed like my brother and Senior Ma's soul power could also merge with each other." Huo Yuhao recalled the scene where Ye Nanxiao helped Ma Xiaotao recover from the mental shock.
However, Huo Yuhao quickly laughed and said, "Don't dream about it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. I remember the teacher said that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires the Martial Souls of both parties to have an extremely high degree of compatibility in order to appear. It can be said to be extremely rare. Once the Martial Souls of two people have a high degree of compatibility, they will feel something when they meet. We've lived together for three months now. Have you ever felt a connection with me? I certainly haven't."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong lowered his head and remained silent for a while. As if he had made up his mind, he raised his head again, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He stared at Huo Yuhao and said seriously, "You've even told me the secrets of your original martial soul. It wouldn't be fair for me to keep it a secret. In fact, I've always hidden my abilities, and so has my aura."
"Although you can't sense my presence, I can. When you use mind sharing, I feel a sense of closeness, but my presence is restrained by a force. Only when our bodies are in contact can you feel my true presence."
Huo Yuhao didn't understand at first, but after Wang Dong explained it to him, Huo Yuhao naturally opened his arms and hugged Wang Dong.
"So these two guys are actually that cute?" Ye Nanxiao was lying on the bed drawing design drafts, while also cultivating his "Mind's Eye," his immense mental power enveloping the dormitory below the third floor.
While continuously releasing a large amount of spiritual energy, Ye Nanxiao was still pondering the design of the next generation of Tang Clan hidden weapons. First, he needed to come up with a good name.
In the current male dormitory, no one can detect Ye Nanxiao's mental energy probing, provided that Elder Mu doesn't come to invite Ye Nanxiao for tea.
Judging from the energy form reflected by the "Mind's Eye," the actions manifested by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's energy, coupled with Ye Nanxiao's own imagination of the conversation between the two, made him burst out laughing. Bei Bei on the opposite bed looked at Ye Nanxiao with a question mark on her face.
