Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 111 Metamorphosis
"No, no...! Wang Dong, I actually just—"

Faced with Wang Dong's indescribable gaze, Xiao Xiao's expression changed drastically. She abruptly scrambled off Huo Yuhao, smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes: "I...I..."

Unfortunately, she muttered to herself for a long time but couldn't come up with a plausible reason, which only made the already awkward atmosphere between the three of them even more uncomfortable.

This is really the end.

Xiao Xiao closed her eyes, filled with sorrow, as if she could smell the scent of a broken friendship.

"cough!"

Huo Yuhao's gaze darted back and forth between the two, a strange look creeping onto his face. He stood up, brushing the bits of grass and dirt off his clothes. "Um... you've probably misunderstood us. It was just a little accident..."

"Yeah, you two are just ordinary friends. You wouldn't do anything inappropriate on the grass by Poseidon Lake, right?"

Wang Dong sneered repeatedly: "But I've heard that you two have been spending every day in the woods for the past year! Sometimes you even stay there for two or three days at a time!"

If it weren't for everyone she knew joking about it, how could she have located the couple so quickly upon returning?

Then as soon as I came in—

"Tsk."

Wang Dong's expression was somewhat distorted; every time that scene flashed through his mind, it caused a twitch in his face.
"We're practicing spiritual cultivation here!"

Huo Yuhao habitually reached out and rubbed Xiao Xiao's head: "What are you all thinking? Cultivating, learning, and making progress together, isn't that normal? The three of us did the same thing before..."

Spiritual practice.

Is it considered a form of spiritual practice for a man and a woman to lie on top of each other on the lawn?

The more the two of them explained, the more Wang Dong's lips twitched.

Rationally speaking, she wanted to believe that they were innocent. After all, they were close friends who knew each other inside and out, and given their character, they would never try to hide anything from her.

But from an emotional perspective...

Wang Dong glanced again at the two people behaving intimately, and then at the pair of bracelets and the somewhat conspicuous ahoge (cowlick).

How could she possibly stay calm?

How could she remain calm!

"Cultivation? Hmph... Let me see just how much progress you've made in the past year!"

Wang Dong gritted his teeth angrily: "Come on! Let's fight!"

"Wang Dong?"

Xiao Xiao's expression froze. In her view, Wang Dong had clearly been blinded by his emotions.

"Okay. I'll go with you."

Before she could even voice her objection, Huo Yuhao, standing beside her, accepted the challenge with a gleam in his eyes: "I'm also quite curious about your current strength and level."

Although Xiao Xiao didn't sense anything.

However, Huo Yuhao, with his strong mental power, could clearly sense the dangerous aura emanating from Wang Dong, as if his roommate, whom he hadn't seen for a year, had undergone some kind of transformation, and that a beast-like power was lurking within him.

"Curious? Then I'll show you..."

Wide butterfly wings unfolded from Wang Dong's back, lifting his body slowly into the air. Four spirit rings, yellow, purple, purple, and black, appeared one after another, releasing a dazzling light that was breathtaking.

Soul Sect, ten thousand years!
"At thirteen years old... she actually broke through level forty. Her soul power increased by ten levels in just one year."

Xiao Xiao looked up at the stunningly luxurious configuration and felt a chill run down her spine: "And it also possesses a fourth ring that lasts for ten thousand years."

Even after developing the Xuan Tian Gong, which can be used indefinitely, and diligently practicing with Huo Yuhao every day, she only managed to reach level 38 in a year. It would take her another four months to break through to the Soul Sect level.

As for that black spirit ring, it made her feel even more ashamed. While she was still figuring out how to make her spirit ring's age slightly exceed the limit, others had already started chasing after spirit rings, breaking through the limits layer by layer.

"Perhaps they are the ones who..."

Xiao Xiao glanced at Huo Yuhao discreetly, her eyes darkening slightly as she took a few steps back, silently creating distance between them.

"Just crossed the threshold of ten thousand years."

Huo Yuhao glanced at him from afar and roughly estimated Wang Dong's current situation: "He is probably equipped with a soul bone that is not short in age... and should also have special skills."

His cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and his equipment underwent a complete upgrade.

Wang Dong is indeed worth testing.

Swah——

As Wang Dong ascended into the sky, his entire body radiated a rich light, and his third spirit ring hummed brightly.

"Butterfly Goddess Transformation!"

As the skill was activated, the already dazzling star-blue butterfly wings on her back expanded and solidified further, with scattered crystal layers like glass growing on the surface of the wings, making the brilliance of the butterfly wings even more dazzling.

"Wing Guillotine!"

Faced with this incredibly familiar starting skill, Huo Yuhao spread his hands, and two daggers engraved with mysterious patterns popped out from his wrists, clashing head-on with her.

"Ding ding..."

Ghostly Shadows met with Brilliant Butterfly Dance, and Soul-Guiding Dagger clashed with the first Soul Skill. In just a few breaths, the two clashed nearly a hundred times in their entanglement, unleashing a burst of shimmering blade light.

During the frequent clashes, what surprised Huo Yuhao was not only the increasing number of shallow scratches on the dagger, but also the powerful force emanating from Wang Dong.

The physical differences between them have narrowed considerably!
"Is it because you absorbed two arm bones?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong's arms with his illusory eyes, which were flashing with a light that seemed to breathe as she vigorously swung her wing blades.

Clearly, these are a pair of light-attribute soul bones...

The lifespan could even reach 50,000 years!

"Take this!"

After another clash, Wang Dong used the momentum to spread his wings, and the golden soul power accumulated during the battle was poured in, unleashing a sharpness that made Huo Yuhao's pupils slightly narrow:
"Butterfly God Light Slash!"

With the powerful assistance of Butterfly God Transformation reducing energy consumption, the combination soul skills that were once only used as ultimate moves can now be released as regular soul skills, and even become stronger under the effect of elemental amplification!
Even the ten-thousand-year soul skill unleashed by the Five-Ring Soul King is nothing special...

Even Huo Yuhao was somewhat alarmed by this skill being released so close to the face. He immediately dropped his soul-guided dagger and raised his hand to meet it, activating the power of his palm bones.

The touch of frost.

"boom!"

The white light and golden radiance erupted suddenly, forming a bubble of soul power that rapidly expanded during the repeated clashes. The powerful energy contained within it even made Xiao Xiao, who was watching from the sidelines, shudder.

Just as the clash of forces was about to explode with a deafening roar, a whisper accompanied by an inexplicable fluctuation emanated: "Elemental Silence."

boo~
The bubble of soul power, which had not yet expanded much, burst in the wind, revealing Wang Dong, whose wings had dimmed slightly.

Butterfly God Transformation is an elemental amplification skill, so naturally, Huo Yuhao's Elemental Silence can suppress some of its power and weaken the amplification effect.

"Hmph... That trick won't work on me now!"

Wang Dong smiled, and a golden light appeared in the center of his brow, where elemental fluctuations and soul power intertwined.
