ALL NOVEL Chapter 74: Chapter 74
**Chapter 74**
Du Bu Si held no affection for Shrek Academy, and Xuan Zi particularly disgusted him. He had known this old man for a long time, and his dislike only deepened each time they interacted. To Du Bu Si, Xuan Lao epitomized everything wrong with Shrek Academy—not only was he unattractive, but he was also extremely hypocritical.
People at Shrek Academy had a bad habit of projecting an air of benevolence and morality. Yet, these lofty standards were often applied to others rather than themselves. Xuan Lao was a prime example of this behavior, and thus, Du Bu Si had always harbored a strong aversion towards him.
At the moment, seeing the old man on the screen acting self-important and belittling the Spirit Eye, a remarkably powerful martial spirit, sent Du Bu Si into a rage. He couldn't contain himself and directly scolded Xuan Lao in the chat room.
Xuan Lao, infuriated at being publicly humiliated, responded in kind: "Du Bu Si, how dare you insult me? You're already dead!"
Du Bu Si retorted dismissively, "What's wrong with humiliating you? I'll keep humiliating you! You blind old fool! Such extraordinary potential is disdained by you; who wouldn't be angry?"
After saying that, Du Bu Si tagged Huo Yuhao again.
Du Bu Si @ Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, do you now see how Shrek Academy regards you? They know nothing about how to nurture a body spirit. Otherwise, they'd join our Body Sect!"
Huo Yuhao felt a bit conflicted upon hearing this. After a moment's thought, he realized that Shrek Academy hadn't provided him much help in developing his body spirit. However, he wasn't the type to be fickle. Since he had joined Shrek Academy, he had no intention of leaving unless faced with unbearable circumstances.
While Du Bu Si's comments seemed to have some merit, Huo Yuhao replied, "Thank you for your concern, but I will not leave Shrek Academy easily. Please understand my position."
Du Bu Si fell silent after hearing this, but he still promoted his Body Sect.
"My friends, I believe you've all seen it. While Shrek Academy excels in many areas, its understanding of body martial souls is quite limited! To be blunt, any disciple who has trained for just a few years in our Body Sect understands the body martial soul better than those in Shrek Academy."
"So after this incident, if any of you know friends with body martial souls who seek to improve their strength, send them to our Body Sect."
Many soul masters with body martial souls registered this information, increasingly intrigued. Though many had originally considered Shrek Academy as their first choice, they now leaned towards the Body Sect, which seemed to offer better prospects.
Xuan Lao and the others gritted their teeth in frustration but recognized that it was best to remain silent in the current situation. They swallowed their anger and allowed Du Bu Si to continue his promotion.
The picture on the screen resumed.
[After that day's games, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong returned directly to their dormitory.]
[However, this time, they didn't rest immediately like usual.]
[In their first game, they had encountered the two sisters, Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, who had an incredibly powerful martial soul fusion skill that played a vital role in combat.]
[Thus, at this moment, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong felt a twinge of envy.]
[Wang Dong suggested to Huo Yuhao, "How about we give it a try? Maybe we can fuse our spirits!"]
[Huo Yuhao laughed and replied, "Don't dream; it's unlikely to happen! I still remember what the teacher said: spirit fusion skills only occur when both parties' spirits are highly compatible. It's quite rare. When two people with compatible spirits meet, they will instinctively feel it. We've lived together for three months; have you ever sensed that we were a good fit? I certainly haven't!"]
[Strangely, Wang Dong blushed at his words.]
[Wang Dong countered, "Actually, when I first experienced your spirit detection and sharing, I felt a closeness in our energies. The reason my breath feels restricted is due to another force of my own. When we're close, you can sense my presence. Do you want to try?"]
[Huo Yuhao promptly hugged Wang Dong.]
[Wang Dong stiffened in surprise, but soon, they noticed that the soul power within their bodies began to connect. As they practiced together, their soul power amplified significantly.]
[The realization brought them both ecstatic delight as they eagerly continued their training.]
In the gap between the planes, after witnessing this scene, Wang Dong'er's ears turned completely red. Although it was a moment from the past, seeing herself hug Huo Yuhao publicly made her feel incredibly shy.
Xiao Xiao, unable to hold back, teased her: "Dong'er, I didn't expect you two to have so much fun! Ever since that time, you've been training and sleeping together. Just look at how comfortable you look on-screen~"
Wang Dong'er, flustered, quickly covered Xiao Xiao's mouth: "Ah! Stop it! Stop it!"
Xiao Xiao laughed heartily, and the two began to playfully bicker.
The other soul masters couldn't help but remark:
"Finally, these souls understand martial spirit fusion."
"It's not easy to achieve."
"However, to be honest, it's a bit slow."
"Huo Yuhao in the parallel world started fusing with Wang Dong's martial soul on his first day at school, so their progress is three months ahead of here."
"..."
The chatter of the soul masters continued.
Huo Yuhao shared their sentiments. He and Wang Dong'er had completed their martial soul fusion once, but it had felt like a lucky coincidence.
If he hadn't stumbled upon it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to achieve that fusion again.
However, the Huo Yuhao in the parallel world was different. He had discovered it independently and immediately grasped its significance and function. It highlighted the considerable knowledge gap between him and his parallel self.
"Alas, knowledge is power!"
"It seems I need to read more books going forward."
With this thought, Huo Yuhao made a firm resolution and jotted down a new note in his little notebook.
On the other side, upon observing this scene, he furrowed his brow. It seemed he had just noticed something important.
On the screen, during the moment Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were fusing their martial souls, the seal within Wang Dong's body appeared to loosen.
Then Tang San's divine thought seemed to have entered Huo Yuhao's body.
