Not long after, the two returned to the small clearing in the grove.
The surrounding area is densely packed with trees, their branches and leaves intertwining to form a natural barrier.
Huo Yuhao released his grip on Wang Dong's right hand.
He turned around, stood opposite Wang Dong, and naturally opened his arms.
Wang Dong knew exactly what he was up to; they had come here to research the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
After a night of mental preparation, Wang Dong felt he was ready.
She told herself that this was just cultivation, just for researching martial soul fusion techniques, and had no other meaning.
She told herself to be calm, composed, and to remain unfazed like Huo Yuhao.
But when the moment actually came... she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
A complex mix of emotions flashed in those large, pinkish-blue eyes: nervousness, shyness, anticipation, and a hint of inexplicable excitement.
However, it only lasted for a moment.
Then, she stepped forward.
Just like last night, she threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
This time, she didn't forget to circulate her soul power.
The moment the two embraced, two streams of soul power surged simultaneously.
The golden light of the Goddess of Light Butterfly intertwined with the spiritual fluctuations of the Spirit Eye, tentatively touching and then... quickly merging together.
Everything seemed to fall into place naturally, without any hesitation.
The feeling was similar to last night.
Warm and comfortable, like being surrounded by soft clouds, enveloped in endless tenderness.
However, both of them remained sober today.
The drowsy feeling from last night was gone, as was the dazed and confused feeling.
They were fully aware of all of this, of the power of fusion, of each other's heartbeats and breaths.
They believed that they would be able to test their Martial Soul Fusion Technique today.
However, at that moment...
"What are you doing?!"
A sharp shout came from afar, like a pair of razor-sharp scissors, instantly shattering the tranquility.
The voice was filled with shock and disbelief, as if it had witnessed something incredible.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong separated instantly.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction from which the sound came.
At the edge of the woods, beside a thick, large tree, they spotted a familiar figure.
That round little face, those wide, staring eyes, that mouth slightly agape in shock…
It was Xiao Xiao!
Just now, the two of them were immersed in the cultivation of martial soul fusion, and their minds were completely intertwined.
The power flowed between the two, bringing an unprecedented and wonderful experience, so much so that even Huo Yuhao's powerful mental strength failed to notice the situation outside.
As a member of the team, Xiao Xiao was originally planning to go find Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong today to discuss tactics for the next match.
I couldn't find anyone in the dormitory, but I happened to run into a student who was passing by. He said he saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong heading towards the east gate.
Xiao Xiao immediately guessed where they were going—it must be their secret base, the clearing in that grove of trees!
She snorted, feeling a little angry.
They didn't even include me in the training?
unacceptable!
She immediately gave chase, eager to see what those two were secretly studying.
But she never expected... as soon as she arrived at this open space, she saw a scene that she could hardly believe.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were actually hugging each other!
They hugged each other tightly, as if they were one.
What shocked Xiao Xiao even more was that she could even catch a glimpse of satisfaction on the faces of the two of them.
That expression, that absorbed look, it was as if he was experiencing something incredibly wonderful.
Xiao Xiao stood there, stunned, her mind blank.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance.
Then, both of them simultaneously exclaimed in their minds, "Oh no!"
They looked at Xiao Xiao, whose expression changed from shock to grievance, and then from grievance to sadness.
Something was rapidly gathering in those big, round eyes.
Then... she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, turned around and ran away.
That small figure disappeared into the woods as quickly as it flew.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dong instantly activated his martial spirit.
The Goddess of Light's magnificent wings unfurled behind her, and with a gentle flap, she soared into the air, chasing after the direction where Xiao Xiao had disappeared.
No matter how fast Xiao Xiao ran, she couldn't outrun Wang Dong, who was flying in the sky.
She had just rushed out of the woods and hadn't even had time to figure out which way to go when a golden figure descended from the sky and blocked her way.
Where was the joy and shyness that Xiao Xiao had shown when facing Wang Dong before?
Those big, round eyes were now glistening with tears.
She looked up at the incredibly handsome young man before her, her voice trembling with tears: "Go away!"
"I was just being delusional before; it turns out you two had that kind of relationship!"
Xiao Xiao really couldn't understand it.
Why would Wang Dong, whom I like, like a man?!
She recalled that Wang Dong had always been indifferent to the female classmates in his class, not even bothering to glance at them.
But he was very close to Huo Yuhao, and the two were inseparable.
Now she understands.
I understand everything now!
Although she didn't understand, she respected it!
But the tears still kept flowing down her face.
Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat when he saw her like this.
Judging from her expression and tone, it was clearly a misunderstanding!
She stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Xiao's shoulders with both hands, and called out urgently:
"Xiao Xiao, let me explain!"
Xiao Xiao shook her head, shaking it desperately, as if to say, "I won't listen, I won't listen."
Wang Dong was completely bewildered; she never imagined things would develop to this point.
Just then, Huo Yuhao walked out of the woods at a leisurely pace.
He glanced at the scene before him, and a thought flickered in his mind.
An invisible spiritual force instantly spread out, silently enveloping Xiao Xiao.
Without alerting anyone, he secretly unleashed his fourth soul skill – the Domain of Myriad Thoughts Returning to Nothingness.
Within his domain, he easily extracted the emotions surging within Xiao Xiao's heart.
In Wang Dong's view, Xiao Xiao instantly calmed down.
The violent heaving of his chest subsided, the trembling of his shoulders stopped, and the continuous flow of tears ceased.
She stood there, her eyes gradually clearing from their dazed state.
Huo Yuhao's voice came over at just the right time: "Xiao Xiao, Wang Dong and I were just testing a martial soul fusion technique."
Xiao Xiao turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao.
There were still traces of tears in those eyes, but doubt had overshadowed the sadness.
"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
She murmured, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Wang Dong quickly chimed in, "That's right!"
Her tone was urgent, as if she was afraid that Xiao Xiao would misunderstand further.
"During the previous competition, didn't we encounter those twin sisters who could use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"
"My martial soul and Yuhao's martial soul are also in harmony, so I thought I'd try to see if we also have a martial soul fusion skill."
Once Xiao Xiao calmed down, she instantly understood what had happened.
She glanced at the two of them, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's faces.
In those eyes, most of the previous sadness and indignation had dissipated, replaced by a clear-headedness tinged with doubt.
She paused, then asked, "So, when you two were hugging just now, were you about to unleash a Soul Fusion Technique?"
Wang Dong nodded hurriedly, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
"That's right! If you hadn't suddenly shouted that, we might have already successfully used our Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao felt a surge of guilt.
"ah?!"
She opened her mouth wide, and a hint of annoyance flashed in her big, round eyes.
"That was my fault; it affected your cultivation..."
Her voice grew softer and softer, and her head gradually lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
Wang Dong was stunned for a moment when he saw her like this.
She really couldn't understand why Xiao Xiao's emotions changed so quickly.
Just a moment ago she was crying and making a scene, acting like the sky was falling, but now she's starting to blame herself?
She then glanced at Huo Yuhao.
Seeing the faint smile on his lips, Wang Dong immediately guessed what was going on.
This guy must have used a soul skill, after all, Huo Yuhao had mentioned the effects of his soul skill before.
Huo Yuhao met her gaze and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then, he looked at Xiao Xiao and said in a calm and gentle tone, "It's okay, we'll try again."
"Xiao Xiao, since you're here, why don't you just stand by and watch?"
