Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

The speaker was a tall, burly male student, behind whom were a pair of long-haired female students with blue hair. They were twins, looking exactly alike and very cute.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo are twins with a unique martial soul called "Hair". They possess a martial soul fusion skill. When Huo Yuhao saw them, he remembered their information and looked forward to witnessing their martial soul fusion skill.

The main martial soul fusion skill is indeed very rare. He could only look at the information before, and this is the first time he has had the opportunity to see the real thing.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, please give us your guidance," Huo Yuhao replied.

"The assessment begins!" Wang Yan announced.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dongxiao from Huo Yuhao's team lay flat on the ground, unable to get up again.

"What's going on?!" Wang Yan was startled again. Wasn't it always Huo Yuhao who knocked out the other teams before? How come his own team was the first to fall this time?

"Lying down directly isn't good... at least stand up." Huo Yuhao thought to himself, using his telekinesis to support the two of them as they stood up, ending up sleeping standing up, though their heads were tilted forward and backward, which looked rather strange.

Then Huo Yuhao gave Wang Yan a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.

“This is a big problem…” Wang Yan was speechless.

Huang Chutian didn't care about anything else. He had already heard about Huo Yuhao's team's strange behavior and decided that no matter what they did, he would go all out and finish the job quickly.

He released his martial spirit, his height increased dramatically, bursting through his clothes and revealing his thick, iron-black muscles. Then, two yellow spirit rings flashed, and without saying a word, he charged straight at Huo Yuhao, who was leading the group.

"The gorilla's strength is its great power, but its weakness is that it's not strong enough." Huo Yuhao met Huang Chutian's fist with his palm, grabbed Huang Chutian's arm, caught, pulled, and swung him around in a half-circle, throwing him to the other side of the ring.

"You need to pay attention to your physical training, and it'll be troublesome if your clothes burst. I suggest buying the new Ice Silkworm Robe, which can change according to your body shape and has the effect of refreshing the mind, strengthening the body, and shaping the body." Before using a mental shock to make Huang Chutian faint, Huo Yuhao gave some pointers and took the opportunity to advertise.

"Alright, now let me properly appreciate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, haha." Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at the two adorable twins.

Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo held hands, their expressions solemn. Huang Chutian had been defeated in a single exchange, and Huo Yuhao was clearly an unimaginably formidable opponent.

and……

"Sister, that person's eyes are terrifying." The younger sister, Lan Luoluo, was frightened by Huo Yuhao's aggressive gaze.

"What are you afraid of! We have the Spirit Fusion Technique, that's our trump card. It seems like both of his teammates have run into trouble, so we might be able to defeat him." The older sister, Lan Susu, was much stronger than the other.

The two first used their first soul skill, their long hair flying, to weave a large net together in an attempt to control Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao neither dodged nor avoided; with a burst of mental power, he directly countered the net and tossed it aside.

"Forget about such petty tricks. You guys have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, right? Show it to us!" Huo Yuhao couldn't hide his excitement.

"How could you say it was a small trick..." Lan Luoluo looked like she was about to cry, but she still spoke slowly, word by word.

"Don't cry! Ugh! This guy is really something. Let him watch if he wants to. Let's beat him off the stage!" Lan Susu gritted her teeth.

Wang Dong, who had just woken up, blinked helplessly. "When Yuhao gets focused, he really does...sharp and sarcastic."

With Huo Yuhao deliberately allowing it, the Lan sisters got close and embraced each other.

"Twin sisters... that sounds good too. This kind of persona would definitely be popular. Should we invite them to form an idol group with Jiang Nannan?" Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of something else.

At that moment, a massive surge of soul power, far exceeding anything seen before, erupted. As they embraced, a deep blue aura emanated from them simultaneously, and their hair, flowing like a tidal wave, swept over them.

Martial Soul Fusion Technique: Heavenly Net!

"Haha, this is exactly what I wanted to see!" Huo Yuhao laughed, still not dodging, but instead walking straight into the net, willingly plunging into it.

"What is this kid doing?!" Wang Yan was startled for the umpteenth time. "Who would willingly run into someone else's attack?!"

However, he believed that Huo Yuhao was not the kind of person who would do something foolish, so he did not rush forward to stop him. Instead, he remained vigilant and prepared to pull Huo Yuhao out immediately if he was seriously injured.

"So that's how it is. When hair spirits of the same nature are fused together, their spirit power is multiplied. This is how the fusion works..." Huo Yuhao buried himself in the overwhelming hair, but the hair couldn't even touch him, let alone attack him. Every hair that came near was controlled by him and obediently bypassed him.

"That's fine then." Huo Yuhao finished his research, nodded, and used his mental power to forcibly separate the Lan sisters, interrupting their martial soul fusion skill. The fringe of hair formed by their soul power instantly dissipated.

"You need to use your mental energy to control your hair, right? Your mental energy is too lacking in training, and your control is even worse than mine when I can control it. If you could train to the point where you can precisely control every single strand of hair, you would definitely be very strong." Huo Yuhao gave them a few pointers as usual.

"This person is incredibly strong," Lan Luoluo said, holding her sister's hand.

"Yeah, and he's right. He has much better control over his hair than we do. Hmph, I'm so unwilling to accept this," Lan Susu said while recovering her soul power.

"Huo Yuhao's team wins," Wang Yan announced the result.

………………

The next few matches also ended quickly under Huo Yuhao's absolute strength. Each time, he would toy with his opponent's martial soul and then throw them off the stage after observing it one by one.

"Alright, that's all for today." Huo Yuhao stretched and began to study the different martial souls more thoroughly.

Just as they were about to leave with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, Wang Yan called them back.

"Huo Yuhao, the three of you stay here for a moment."

"Is there anything I can help you with, Teacher Wang?" Huo Yuhao replied.

"Congratulations on your undefeated record in the freshman assessment round-robin tournament. You are very strong." Wang Yan smiled slightly. "I've always been curious about something and would like to get your answer: what exactly is your martial soul? Can you tell me? I really can't tell."

"What's the big deal? It's the Spirit Eye, the main body's martial soul, and a spiritual attribute. Teacher Wang, isn't every teacher allowed to view student information records? There's no need to ask, is there?" Huo Yuhao said directly.

"A true martial soul! A spiritual attribute!" Wang Yan exclaimed, then realized his mistake and apologized, "Sorry, I got a little excited. As for asking directly, hehe, it's just a bad habit of mine."

"Teacher Wang, understanding students' information is absolutely essential for education. The reason for adding the registration of students' martial spirit information is precisely for this purpose. If teachers don't understand students' martial spirits, how can they conduct education well? So it's better to look at the students' information more often and not rely on guessing in the future," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"This...this is Mr. Huo's statement. I saw it in the weekly magazine. Huo Yuhao, you..." Wang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 58 Martial Soul Fusion, Strange Divine Sense

"Huo Yuhao, are you also a fan of Mr. Huo?" Wang Yan asked excitedly.

"..."

Huo Yuhao: "Teacher Wang's imagination is quite unique. Usually, people would guess it's his son or something."

With deliberate dissemination, the news that Huo Yuhao is Mr. Huo's son has spread widely, but Wang Yan doesn't seem to pay much attention to these rumors, so he doesn't know.

"Child...you're Mr. Huo's son? I never imagined that the wise man's child would also be attending Shrek Academy. I greatly admire him, especially his theory of martial soul evolution; it was truly awe-inspiring when I first saw it. Just a couple of days ago, I even applied to enter the fifth school district that he supported in building..."

Once Wang Yan started talking, he went on and on, and it took Huo Yuhao and the other two a long time to get rid of him.

Back in the dormitory,

"Honestly, this Teacher Wang talks too much..." Wang Dong complained, sitting on the bed.

"Indeed, but his ability to think for himself and his focus on academic research are worthy of the title of senior teacher." Huo Yuhao chuckled. "I hope he can achieve something in the field of martial spirit research in the future."

"Oh right, Yuhao." Wang Dong suddenly jumped up from the bed again, "Fusion Technique! Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

"What's wrong with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Huo Yuhao looked at her, puzzled.

"So handsome!" Wang Dong's eyes lit up.

"..."

Huo Yuhao covered his face and sighed, "Yes, yes, very handsome. I thought you were going to say something."

Wang Dong pouted, seemingly feeling that Huo Yuhao was being somewhat perfunctory, so he jumped up and moved closer to him.

"No, what I meant was, should we both give it a try? Maybe we can unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Technique too?"

Wang Dong was slightly shorter than him. She leaned closer and looked up to meet his gaze. Her pinkish-blue eyes were filled with shyness and anticipation. Her fists were clenched tightly behind her back, and a faint fragrance wafted to Huo Yuhao's nose.

"They're too close."

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, pointed a finger at Wang Dong's forehead and pushed him away, "You have quite the imagination. Our martial souls are completely different in nature, with no connection whatsoever. How can we just merge them as we please?"

He also wanted to try the Martial Soul Fusion Skill himself, but finding a compatible Martial Soul was not so easy. In all these years, only a few cases of fusion have been discovered in Douluo Continent.

To everyone's surprise, Wang Dong shook his head.

"The first time you used your mental detection to assist me, I felt very close to your aura. The reason why my aura doesn't dissipate is because of another force within me, which is why you can't sense it."

"Closeness?" Huo Yuhao frowned. They were complete strangers before, and their martial souls were vastly different. Where did this closeness come from?

Moreover, the power that blocks her aura from dissipating doesn't sound like it's her own. Is it a protective mechanism left by her elders? To be able to do this, she must be very strong.

"Haha, since you've put it that way, let's give it a try. Practice makes perfect," Huo Yuhao laughed.

“Then…then…” Wang Dong stammered.

"What?"

"Then get closer! You idiot..." Wang Dong said angrily, her face turning slightly red.

"what?"

"What do you mean by looking so disgusted?!" Wang Dong was even angrier, grabbing Huo Yuhao's collar and pulling him close.

“I have to get close to feel your presence, there’s no way around it…” Wang Dong rested his head on Huo Yuhao’s shoulder.

"It's not because I want this guy to hug me," she kept thinking, but when Huo Yuhao wrapped his arms around her, she was secretly delighted.

"Aura... why can they really merge? It's impossible!" Huo Yuhao was already immersed in doubt. After making contact with Wang Dong, he guided his soul power to connect with her, and then their soul powers merged immediately after meeting.

This seemed extremely strange to Huo Yuhao. Did their martial souls really have some commonality that he hadn't discovered? Or was there something wrong with his previous understanding of martial soul fusion?

"Wait, not only the Goddess of Light Butterfly, she also has other auras, three auras? Three martial souls?!" Huo Yuhao was completely stunned; he rarely felt so shocked.

“Even the three can be integrated with mine one by one.”

Huo Yuhao also has three martial souls: his original Spirit Eye, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and the magical martial soul he transformed into after signing a contract with Elder Yi.

Wang Dong's three auras could be perfectly integrated with his own three auras...

This is simply unbelievable.

"The aura of light is the Goddess Butterfly, and there is also a rather heavy dark golden aura, I don't know what kind of martial soul it is, and the third one is..." Huo Yuhao used his spiritual detection to look carefully, and the third aura was blue and gold, the source of which was a trident-shaped pattern, carrying a kind of... sacred feeling?

Huo Yuhao had felt a similar feeling with Electrolux, which was a sense of "sacredness".

"Elder Yi seems to call this level 'divine consciousness.' Does Wang Dong possess the power of divine consciousness?" Huo Yuhao asked in surprise.

Suddenly, the trident seemed to sense Huo Yuhao's observation, and instantly burst into dazzling light. A huge force shook Huo Yuhao away, severing the connection between the two.

"What on earth was that thing?" Huo Yuhao crashed heavily to the ground, but thankfully he was strong enough to avoid injury. "It actually bounced me away?"

“That is the power of the seal.” Electrox’s aged voice rang out, and he seemed equally shocked.

"Elder Yi, if I'm not mistaken, that's the level of divine consciousness, right? There's actually a seal left by a god-level being inside Wang Dong's body?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Yes, according to the standards of your world, it is indeed god-level, and this power is probably even greater than what I possessed at my peak. It sealed certain things within Wang Dong's consciousness, while also protecting her spiritual sea from harm," Electrox said in a deep voice.

"It sounds like it's meant to protect her. Is there any downside to this?" Huo Yuhao asked, his doubts growing as he wondered why Wang Dong was involved with a god.

"Probably not. Having a divine consciousness within the body is called good fortune in my original world. It means being a blessed person, which is very beneficial to humanity and will make this child exceptionally gifted from a young age."
