"Is there any problem?"
Inside the room filled with powerful life energy, Xuanzi frowned and asked Elder Zhuang.
Elder Zhuang withdrew the soul power that was enveloping Wang Dong and shook his head. "This child doesn't have any internal or external injuries. If I'm not mistaken, it's highly likely that he suffered a mental shock."
Upon hearing that, Wang Dong immediately turned his gaze toward Huo Yuhao.
Elder Zhuang said, "Let the child rest here for a while. I'll come back later to examine him again."
"That's fine." Xuanzi let out a breath of relief. He had almost thought something went wrong during the spar he was supervising, which scared him enough to quickly take a drink to calm down.
Soon, the two old men left the room, with Elder Zhuang instructing Huo Yuhao to take care of Wang Dong.
"Huo Yuhao, you're ruthless! And to think we've been sleeping in the same room for a whole year," Wang Dong said fiercely once the two elders had left.
Huo Yuhao gave an awkward laugh. "I didn't know my External Spirit Bone skill was that strong. It was my first time using it, so I couldn't control it well."
"By the way, what did you see inside the illusion?"
Huo Yuhao added curiously.
Wang Dong went silent for a while before replying, "It felt like I entered a special space. There, I saw a blue-gold array of runic light. I originally wanted to use the Light Goddess Butterfly's power of light to break through the illusion, but for some reason, an evil thought urged me to touch that light pattern."
"When I came back to my senses, the illusion had changed—it looked like my home. But…"
As he spoke, Wang Dong's face turned pale and helpless. "I saw my First Father and Second Father doting on another girl. That girl had pink-blue hair just like mine and looked very similar to me, but I'm sure she wasn't me. Even if I dressed up as a girl again, there were details that didn't match."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao's expression changed instantly. "Go on."
Wang Dong subconsciously nodded. "After a while, the scene changed again. It was still my home, but the ones doting on that girl became a man and a woman whose faces I couldn't see clearly. Then the two of them disappeared, and that girl suddenly turned to look at me. She said something, but I couldn't hear it clearly."
"Then my head started to hurt badly, and I blacked out."
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with shock.
That girl was undoubtedly Tang Wutong, and as for the man and woman—there was no need to guess. They were Tang San and Xiao Wu.
But… he couldn't understand it. How could a mere illusion-type soul skill cause something like this? Was the Evil Eyed Tyrant race really that powerful?
"That's because when you cast your soul skill, Yuhao, you accidentally released a wisp of residual soul. What this girl called an 'evil thought' was actually the lingering soul of your soul bone. The Evil Eyed Tyrant race likely possesses some ability to leave behind a fragment of soul after death."
"That residual soul sensed the magical seal I left on this girl, and it tried to use the opportunity to hide by transferring itself into her body, waiting for a chance to devour her soul and restore itself. But it accidentally touched that blue-gold divine seal—it basically trapped itself."
"The divine seal's backlash tore that residual soul apart, and the resulting ripple even tried to transmit a message outward. Fortunately, the magical seal I left behind produced a special effect that blocked it. Otherwise, the god you mentioned would have probably learned everything that just happened."
"Still, this girl actually benefited from the incident. The torn residual soul turned into pure spiritual energy that she accidentally absorbed, strengthening her spiritual power quite a bit."
As Huo Yuhao fell into confusion, Electrolux timely explained everything, clearing up his doubts.
Huo Yuhao instantly understood how dangerous the situation had just been.
Electrolux continued, "From my guess, this illusion-type soul skill of yours should amplify the enemy's deepest fears, insecurities, and weaknesses. Don't worry about using it in the future. What just happened to this girl won't happen again."
"Teacher, is the magical seal you left in Wang Dong's body still intact?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"It's fine. The ripple wasn't too strong—just like a casual wave of power. If it had been serious, the seal would've shattered. The gods of your world truly are formidable," Electrolux said with some emotion.
If the seal hadn't broken, then that was good news.
Huo Yuhao's expression became serious. Wang Dong being able to see those visions was likely caused by the Sea God's seal being touched, not by his soul skill.
But… a new possibility surfaced in his mind. According to the original events, Wang Dong's soul wasn't split at first—only her memories were sealed.
However, based on Wang Dong's current reaction, could it be that her soul had long been split into two parts—one fragment with incomplete memories as the sub-soul "Wang Dong," containing only the memories of the Clear Sky Sect, and another main soul, Tang Wutong, hidden deep within her?
This guess wasn't baseless. In the original events, when Tang Wutong appeared and Wang Dong'er disappeared, Tang Wutong had no memories of being Wang Dong'er. Otherwise, she would have recognized Huo Yuhao and the others.
Obviously, the sub-soul's memories were erased before being merged back into the main soul, causing Wang Dong'er to vanish completely.
As for the strand of Tang Wutong's soul in the Spirit Beast, that was likely another split from the main soul.
Perhaps it was time for him to take action.
Tang San couldn't possibly watch over the entire Douluo Continent constantly. In the original events, when Huo Yuhao encountered the Spirit Beast and fused with the power of destiny, Wang Dong had felt like she had lost her soul. Perhaps that loss of soul was actually the Sea God's seal taking effect?
Tang San had been plotting around the Spirit Beast for a long time—he gained plenty of treasures from it:
The Golden Dragon Spear, the Golden Dragon bloodline.
Tang Wutong's martial soul evolution was also due to that Golden Dragon bloodline.
Huo Yuhao's eyes deepened, and a mad idea emerged in his heart.
"If that's the case, after the tournament ends, I'll take Wang Dong to the Star Dou Forest again and lure out the Spirit Beast. As long as Tang Wutong's main soul dares to split again, I'll shatter the magical seal even if it risks alerting Tang San, and completely erase Tang Wutong's soul."
His fists clenched tightly, his gaze sharp. Once he had decided, there was no turning back.
Since he'd come to the Douluo Continent, he might as well make it grand.
"Huo Yuhao." Suddenly, Wang Dong's pitiful voice came.
Huo Yuhao turned his head and froze. The usually arrogant Wang Dong now had tears welling up in his eyes—he was crying.
In that moment, all his usual pride was gone, leaving behind only the delicate fragility of a girl.
"I feel so scared. Even though I know my two fathers will always love me, I can't help it. The more I think about that girl who looks like me, the more terrified I feel. It's like I can't even breathe."
Wang Dong sat up, legs together, burying his head between them, his back trembling.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a few seconds, then stood up, placing his hand gently on Wang Dong's head and softly said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. And in the future, you'll have more companions too."
Wang Dong's trembling slowly eased. He raised his head, his tearful eyes gazing at Huo Yuhao.
Looking at the fragile Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao smiled. "Crying like this—if your face gets all messed up, that won't be good. This isn't the Wang Dong I know. The Wang Dong I know is confident, fierce, and sometimes a bit silly, like a—"
"Huo Yuhao." Wang Dong wiped his tears and glared fiercely at him. "Who are you calling silly?"
"Whoever's crying is the silly one." Huo Yuhao grinned.
Wang Dong bit his lip, grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm, and bit down lightly, puffing up his soft cheeks.
But he didn't bite hard and soon let go, suddenly laughing. "You're right—if I cry and mess up my face, that'd be bad. I'm still the most handsome guy in the outer courtyard."
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't reply, just pretended to wipe the saliva off his arm with disgust.
Seeing his expression, Wang Dong yelled, "You're disgusted by me? You're actually disgusted by me? My saliva's not dirty—it's sweet!"
"No, no," Huo Yuhao shook his head, wiping even harder.
Wang Dong clenched his fists and lunged like a mad dog, trying to bite him again.
Huo Yuhao swiftly raised a hand to block his head, preventing him from getting closer.
"I'll bite you to death!" Wang Dong flailed his arms but couldn't move forward.
Click.
Suddenly, the door opened. Several figures appeared at the entrance.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong froze, turning simultaneously toward the door.
There stood Xuanzi, Elder Zhuang, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao, all staring at them with quite the interesting expressions.
Elder Zhuang smiled kindly. "Looks like he's full of energy again. His condition's stable."
"Elder Xuan, Elder Zhuang." The two quickly straightened up.
Elder Zhuang used soul power to check Wang Dong again and, seeing he was fine, left with Xuanzi at ease.
Now only four people remained in the room.
"Senior Sister, Sister, why are you two here?" Huo Yuhao asked Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao smiled. "Xiao Dong fainted—we were worried. Besides, we're leaving for the Star Luo Empire tomorrow. If Xiao Dong isn't well, we might have to replace him."
"I'm fine now, feeling great!" Wang Dong raised his hand immediately at the mention of replacement.
"Don't worry, no one's replacing you." Zhang Lexuan chuckled.
Wang Dong patted his chest in relief.
Zhang Lexuan said, "Tomorrow at eight in the morning, gather at the academy gate. We'll head to Star Luo City together."
"So early? I thought there were still ten days before the competition starts," Wang Dong asked curiously.
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. A historical moment was coming—the strongest Soul King was about to appear.
"No, we have another mission on this trip. Elder Xuan will explain everything tomorrow morning," Zhang Lexuan said. "I'm also one of the vice leaders of this mission. Xiao Dong, if you feel unwell, tell me immediately."
"Thank you, Senior Sister. I understand." Wang Dong obediently nodded.
Zhang Lexuan pinched his fair cheek and teased, "Why wear men's clothes? You'd look so much prettier in your true form—you'd be a great beauty."
Wang Dong's face flushed red. "Senior Sister, you… noticed?"
"Of course. The Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul can only be awakened by girls of exceptional beauty. As the senior sister of the academy, how could I not know that?" Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, then turned to Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, your dorm life seems quite nice, huh? Having a girl with you."
Huo Yuhao said seriously, "Wang Dong and I are brothers—there's nothing improper between us."
"Oh~?" Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes curved as her gaze shifted between Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao with a meaningful glint.
Huo Yuhao's expression stayed calm, while Ma Xiaotao's eyes darted away, a hint of guilt flashing across her face. That wasn't right—she'd never shown any closeness with Yuhao beyond being his senior sister.
Wang Dong's smile faded slightly, his eyes landing between Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao.
…
Shrek Academy Outer Court, Class 2, Year 1.
Classes had ended for the day, and the students stretched wearily.
Wang Yan packed up his notes and said, "Wufeng and Zhu Lu, stay behind. Everyone else is dismissed."
"Let's go." Once Wang Yan spoke, the students quickly formed small groups and left, leaving Wufeng and Zhu Lu staring at each other.
"Teacher Wang, do you have something to tell us?" Zhu Lu asked curiously.
Wang Yan smiled. "It's not a big deal. Remember what I said before? That three special slots would be chosen from the eliminated students? The academy has decided on the list—you two and Ning Tian from Class 3 were selected."
The two girls were shocked but forced themselves to stay calm. "Teacher Wang, what are these special slots for?"
"I'll tell you, but don't spread it around," Wang Yan said. "You'll accompany the team to this year's Soul Dueling Tournament. Although you won't compete, you'll likely become main team members for the next tournament. The next one will be held in the Sun Moon Empire—it's a very special event."
"Originally, seven students were to be selected as substitutes, but due to the importance of the next tournament, the academy decided to increase the number. However, since only fourteen can compete, you'll be observers for now."
The two finally understood.
The Soul Dueling Tournament—just hearing the name stirred their excitement. Even if they couldn't participate, being able to watch firsthand would be valuable experience.
While Wufeng was overjoyed, Zhu Lu stayed calm. From a rational standpoint, the academy shouldn't have chosen her. "Teacher Wang, may I ask… why was I chosen?"
Wang Yan smiled. "I'll tell you a secret—Dean Yan approved the decision, but the one who picked you was Yuhao."
"Oh, and your departure time will be a few days later than theirs. Someone will escort you to Star Luo City then."
Saying that, Wang Yan smiled and left, leaving the two girls standing frozen.
Wufeng raised an eyebrow. "Huo Yuhao actually chose me and Xiaotian?"
Zhu Lu couldn't help but smile softly, her gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's seat. She whispered, "Thank you."
A similar surprise took place in Class 3, where Ning Tian listened in disbelief to her homeroom teacher.
Was this… a favor she now owed?
Being able to go to Star Luo City for the Soul Dueling Tournament—even without the chance to compete—would greatly elevate her position within her sect. Those stubborn elders' influence on her would be weakened considerably.
