With a sudden shiver—
The soul power of the two overflowed uncontrollably, touching, merging.
In this process—
From Wang Dong's body, Huo Yuhao sensed three types of auras: light, life, and a surging, heavy wave-like force.
The fused soul power gradually changed from a faint golden luster, to blue-gold, and finally into dark-gold.
Wang Dong naturally understood the source of these aura changes. But what shocked him was—Huo Yuhao's aura also transformed three times in a row!
And every time, it perfectly matched with his own!
Could it be…
"Buzz—"
The soul power rippled out like ocean waves, giving off the vast, empty feeling of standing in the middle of the sea.
Their minds emptied in sync, discarding distractions as they immersed themselves in each other's aura transformations. That experience was indescribably wonderful!
The fused soul power slowly circulated, running through Huo Yuhao's body with the Muscle Transformation Manual, then entering Wang Dong's body and circulating through another cultivation method.
Both could clearly feel that their cultivation efficiency had nearly doubled!

Inside the spiritual world.
The popcorn on the belly-feet of the Skydream Iceworm fell off in shock!
"Little Yuhao is way too lucky, isn't he?"
"With us two big thighs already supporting him, now he even finds another half whose aura is identical to his, yet respectively represent yin and yang?"
"For ordinary soul masters, even if they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, as long as the compatibility reaches about 80%, that's already considered heaven's perfect match."
"But these two just start off at 100%?!"
"The most ridiculous thing is that inside Wang Dong, there are actually three martial souls!"
"But then why does Little Yuhao's side also have the aura of three martial souls?"
Zhuge Lan only smiled silently, pointing toward the gray-golden light orb in the sky.
"Huh? That guy is also Little Yuhao's martial soul?" The Skydream Iceworm's eyes widened: "Wasn't it said that He was just a wisp of divine consciousness remnant?"
Zhuge Lan didn't bother to explain further.
As for Electrolux, let's not mention him for now.
The fact that Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's auras could reach 100% compatibility was absolutely due to interference from God-King Tang San.
——Even splitting his daughter's soul into three fragments was possible. Then modifying them to perfectly match Huo Yuhao, what's impossible about that?
As long as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill existed, the two would inevitably be inseparable. Once sparks flew, falling in love would be only natural.
And then boom, manipulate, train like a dog…
Ha!
What a scheme.
But in this lifetime, with him (Zhuge Lan) here, all Huo Yuhao's benefits would be eaten clean? Don't even think about it!
Not only that.
This "second personality" of Wang Dong would also rise strongly to power.
As for that "main personality" Tang Wutong—figure out a way to strip it out of the body. Surely God-King Tang San has plenty of methods to craft a new physical body for his daughter.
Perfect! Only the matter of Wang Qiu'er still needs some thought on how to arrange her…
"Zhuge." The Skydream Iceworm spoke: "Martial Soul Fusion also has a question of who leads. Shouldn't we help Little Yuhao fight for the dominant position?"
"No need. Their husband-and-wife affairs, let them decide for themselves." Zhuge Lan said casually.
With a wave of his hand, he spent 1,000 Fortune Points, creating a shielding barrier outside of Wang Dong's Sea God divine sense.
Like a jammer.
Unless external forces like spiritual power contact him, or Wang Dong suffers a life-or-death crisis, this wisp of Sea God's divine sense is just a blind fool.
Things like "chastity lock," "screen-spying creep," "subconscious hypnosis," all temporarily invalid.
[Modified Huo Yuhao's fate, +5000 Fortune Points!]
[Modified Wang Dong's fate, +5000 Fortune Points!]
See?
Tang San truly doesn't do human business.
"Fine then." The Skydream Iceworm pouted: "I'll help them accelerate a bit, otherwise they'll be late for class tomorrow."
It manipulated its own origin power, turning into ice-blue threads that floated slowly out from Huo Yuhao's brow, weaving a cocoon that wrapped him and Wang Dong inside.
Like this, their soul power couldn't escape, and could only be repeatedly absorbed and released within—artificially creating a pseudo-environment suitable only for the two of them.
It both accelerated the Martial Soul Fusion progress and increased cultivation efficiency.
Two birds with one stone.

The next day, morning.
The soul tool alarm clock popped open its lid, and an owl slid out to announce the time.
"Six in the morning, time to get up~"
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched.
"Uhh~" Wang Dong let out a lazy, spoiled-sounding voice: "So comfortable~"
As he opened his eyes—
The two met each other's gaze, still hugging, hot breaths puffing against one another's faces. Σ(っQДQ;)っ
Wang Dong reacted instantly, shoving Huo Yuhao away, bursting backward and smashing through the giant cocoon.
The condensed fused soul power immediately sprayed out, turning into a violent airflow that swept across the entire dorm.
But it was forcibly pressed down by an invisible force, restored to its original place.
Huo Yuhao's eyes burned with envy.
Brother Lan's spiritual power was so useful!
"There's good news." Zhuge Lan said: "See for yourself."
[Modified Huo Yuhao's and Wang Dong's fate, +75000 Fortune Points!]
——This was the amount after splitting.
Adding the Fortune Points earned over these two days from uniting the class—
Huo Yuhao's deposit now reached ——102,311 Luck Value!
"Congratulations, you can now choose whether to awaken spiritual power for Tianmeng or for yourself." Zhuge Lan congratulated.
The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth curved up, and without hesitation he said—
"Give it to Brother Tianmeng to awaken!"
"He's long wanted to awaken, I don't mind waiting a bit longer."
The Skydream Iceworm instantly burst into tears!
"Wuuuu——"
"Brother, choosing you, Little Yuhao, was really not wrong!"
"Hurry, hurry! Zhuge, you…"
Turning his head—
He only saw Zhuge Lan looking at him with a half-smile. You sure about this?
The Skydream Iceworm slowly went quiet.
In fact, he also understood.
In the spiritual world, with Zhuge Lan sitting here, when encountering Huo Yuhao fainting, whether it was just Zhuge Lan making a move, or both he and Zhuge Lan together, the effect was about the same.
Honestly, the Skydream Iceworm only knew how to eat and sleep; in combat ability he was even weaker than Zhuge Lan.
The best course was to give this precious early awakening slot to Huo Yuhao first, letting him form combat power to pass the new-student assessment in three months.
"Fine then." The Skydream Iceworm said pitifully: "Give it to Little Yuhao first, just right since he just experienced martial soul resonance, mutating a bit is reasonable."
Zhuge Lan nodded in satisfaction.
He soothed: "Don't worry, the next slot will be yours."
The Skydream Iceworm turned his back, his mouth silently moving.
——You already decided long ago, so what's the point of asking democratically?
Too much!
Little did he know.
Such small movements, under spiritual power, were no different from roaring right in Zhuge Lan's ear.
"Hmph!"
"The next slot? You still want to compete with the Ice Emperor?"
"Henpecked husband!"
Zhuge Lan opened [Creation Authority], following the template of his own awakening, giving Huo Yuhao a set as well.
---
Condition: Create the basic introductory cultivation method of Spiritual Master · Illusionist · Apprentice First Rank from Swallowed Star, and awaken spiritual power!
Cost: 80,001 Fortune Points! Create?
Awakening spiritual power: 80,000 Fortune Points. And the extra 1 Fortune Points was for instilling "Illusionist · Apprentice First Rank".
——Knowledge-type creations have replicability, so the second time naturally doesn't need extra charges.
Another blood-earn of 20,000 Fortune Points!
Huo Yuhao's balance was nearly emptied, while Zhuge Lan's little treasury soared to 140,000!
Beautiful.
Of course—
He didn't plan to spend this stash on himself. After all, strengthening himself could just be charged to Little Yuhao.
The little treasury was a backup fund, to be used in emergencies.
Like breaking out in desperation, escaping for one's life, saving others, and so on.
This was called risk reserve.
