FE-Chapter 69: Master Xuan's Opinion
This time, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were not together, so there would naturally not be the outrageous occurrence of 100% fusion between the Spirit Eye and the Goddess of Light Butterfly martial soul.
Similarly, this also meant that there was no power of Haodong and the Golden Road.
In the original novel, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were in the finals of the freshman assessment, with the Golden Road facing the Hell White Tiger, which attracted everyone's attention and shocked the entire audience.
However, in the final of the freshman assessment, without the cooperation of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, they lacked the moves to combat the Hell White Tiger.
Although Wang Dong's strength is quite strong—her family is well-off, she has eaten well since she was a child, and her physique is pretty good in all aspects—her cultivation level is only that of a Level 23 Great Soul Master, after all.
That's right, this time, without Huo Yuhao's urging and Haodong's power, at the same time point, Wang Dong's soul power level is two levels lower than that of the original work at the same time.
Among this class of first-year students who also have the potential for top-level martial souls, Wang Dong's soul power level is not outstanding.
Dai Huabin's cultivation at this time had reached the level of a three-ring soul master.
Therefore, no matter how strong Wang Dong's strength is, it is still far from enough to counter the power of the Hell White Tiger, the martial soul fusion skill released by a 3 ring Soul Master.
Wang Dong tightly grasped the quilt with her hands, feeling depressed: "Why is there such a thing as martial soul fusion skills? I'm so angry!"
"No matter my background, martial soul quality, talent, or bloodline... in any aspect, I should have martial soul fusion skills."
Wang Dong's beautiful pink and blue eyes looked out the window in the direction of the Sea God Lake, lost in thought.
Xiaoxiao and she had been trying for so long, and there was some reaction, but they just couldn't succeed.
If it wasn't for Xiao Xiao, then where was this person...
Wang Dong was filled with musings and couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know what my first and second fathers were thinking; why did they insist on making me dress up as a man?"
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a knock on the dormitory door. It was Xiao Xiao and Bai Yunli who came to see her.
"Wang Dong, the teacher, told us that the list of selected core disciples has been announced." Xiao Xiao's joyful voice sounded.
Wang Dong quickly suppressed her thoughts and adjusted her appearance. As usual, she tightened her curved chest and straightened her collar.
She got out of bed, opened the door, and walked out, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Xiao Xiao, we lost in the finals; did we all still get the status of core disciples?"
Xiao Xiao's face was filled with joy as she repeated what the teacher said to Wang Dong.
Although the three of them were defeated by Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's martial soul fusion skill, Hell White Tiger, after careful consideration, Dean Yan Shaozhe said that both of them were top talents with twin martial souls and that Wang Dong's strength might even be above that of Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu. Therefore, he decided to grant Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao the status of core disciples.
Bai Yunli, who was on the same team, received the same generous reward as Huo Yuhao in the original novel: "Enjoying the treatment of a Core Disciple."
If she can make a breakthrough in the upgrade exam next year, she will be considered for promotion to a formal core disciple.
As the team captain during the competition, Wang Dong worried that Bai Yunli would feel aggrieved because of the different treatment, so she patted her shoulder seriously.
"Yunli, I'll take you to find the teacher. We are a team; how can we treat each other differently?"
Bai Yunli shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "It's okay, Wang Dong; Xiaoxiao, thank you. I am very satisfied with enjoying the treatment of a core disciple."
Xiaoxiao's little face was full of spirit, and she sighed deeply at this time.
"Hey... Wang Dong, it would be great if we could both have martial soul fusion skills."
She looked at Wang Dong quietly, a little worried that Wang Dong, who used to be high-spirited and confident, would not be able to recover from the failure in the freshman assessment.
Wang Dong couldn't help but snort: "It's okay, Xiao Xiao, we both have only two rings of cultivation now, so we have to work hard later."
"When we both cultivate 3 ring Soul Master, even without the martial soul fusion technique, we may be able to compete with their Hell White Tiger."
Anyway, she and Xiao Xiao are both geniuses with twin martial souls, and all four martial souls are top-level. As long as they reach the 3-ring Soul Master level, she and Xiao Xiao, as two top geniuses, will be much stronger than they are now.
After all, before they encountered the Hell White Tiger, they also faced a martial soul fusion technique: the net of heaven and earth released by the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao relied on the strength of their martial souls to defeat the Lan sisters' martial soul fusion technique.
"But Xiaoxiao, although it's not unacceptable that we don't have a martial soul fusion skill, I still can't figure it out."
Wang Dong pondered for a moment: "Xiaoxiao, think about it. We both have twin martial souls, we happen to be in the same class, and we are very good friends."
"We have been exploring for three months. No matter what, there should be something akin to the power of Dong Xiao."
"It can be seen from this freshman assessment that our current shortcoming is that our cultivation is a bit low, and the power of Dong Xiao could accelerate our cultivation speed."
Xiao Xiao blinked her big light green eyes: "Wang Dong, that... is it possible that it's because we haven't explored enough?"
If it were Huo Yuhao, this guess wouldn't be unreasonable.
After all, in the original novel, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao embraced each other, their souls entangled, and they slept for a whole night in the wild.
The next day, when the two of them got up covered in dew, they found a strange light golden trench in front of them, which later became the Golden Road.
...
Beside the Sea God Lake, under the golden tree.
Wang Yan held a folder and stood respectfully, reporting the results of the freshman assessment to Master Xuan.
"Master Xuan, this is the situation. These students are all outstanding participants in this year's freshman assessment and have performed excellently."
"Hmm... OK."
Master Xuan, who was chewing chicken legs under the shade of a tree, nodded and said vaguely while chewing, "Twin martial souls, the martial soul of the body's hair."
"It is indeed worthy of my attention."
Wang Yan flipped through the folder in his hand and said slowly: "In the freshman assessment, the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were defeated by Wang Dong's team, but the martial soul fusion skills they jointly launched still have many highlights."
Master Xuan tasted the wine in the gourd, activated the wisdom of his brain soaked in wine, and pondered.
"Although the hair martial soul is considered a body martial soul, it ranks relatively low among body martial souls."
"High-quality body martial souls are parts that cannot grow again and play an important role in the human body. Even if the hair is gone, it can grow back."
Xuan Zi took another sip of wine and sighed slowly.
"To be honest, it doesn't excite me."
In Xuanzi's opinion, the hair martial soul is only slightly related to the body martial soul.
"But they can also release martial soul fusion skills, so their future developmental potential should be very strong. Let me think about it carefully..."
At this moment, Xuan Lao seemed to be faintly emitting a strange power. After thinking for a long time, he spoke slowly.
"Wang Yan, since those students who failed to become core disciples are all talented, why not let them enjoy the treatment of core disciples first?"
"When I organize the selection of reserve players later, I can let them all participate to see how much they have improved. Even if there is no substantial reward, the title of 'core disciple treatment' alone is enough to motivate them."
Wang Yan was startled by this suggestion. After a little thought, a few gleams flashed in his eyes, and he bowed slightly: "Master Xuan, your suggestion is good."
...
Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, Xuan Ziwen's Laboratory.
Huo Yuhao successfully made a second-level grenade gun. Of course, the metal material of the Flame Lotus grenade was also greatly improved.
"Yuhao, although I didn't help you much in the production process of the grenade gun," Xuan Ziwen said, "since you came to my laboratory, it only took you three months to become a second-level soul engineer. This result alone is undoubtedly very outstanding and successful."
Xuan Ziwen fiddled with Huo Yuhao's latest grenade gun, marveling at the metal used in it, which was more refined than a hundred forgings.
Huo Yuhao smiled politely: "In fact, Teacher Xuan has helped me a lot. I have learned a lot from watching Teacher Xuan engrave advanced core arrays."
It can only be said that Huo Yuhao is indeed a talented player in the field of soul engineering and can be called a genius.
In the original novel, a lot of time and energy was consumed by the martial soul system, and it took eight months to become a second-level soul engineer. Still, Huo Yuhao shortened the time by more than half.
Juzi came over, adjusted her glasses, and whispered, "Teacher Xuan, did Junior Yuhao break Xiao Hongchen's record of becoming a level 2 Soul Engineer the fastest?"
When the record-breaking matter was mentioned, Xuan Ziwen felt extremely happy.
Now, not only is the record about to be broken, but he is also having a great time sharing Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection every day.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "Actually, I didn't think about competing for the title of the first genius of soul engineering."
"I just practiced the engraving of the core array casually, and I succeeded after practicing."
He waved his hand and said modestly, "It's a fluke to become a level 2 soul engineer in three months; there's nothing to brag about."
Xuan Ziwen was in a good mood: "Yuhao, I'll take you to the test site."
Then a few of them went to the level 2 Soul Engineer test site.
According to the soul master's optimal soul ring configuration of "yellow, yellow," the assessment requirement for a second-level soul engineer is to use the soul guidance device to defeat three soul beasts that are 500 to 1,000 years old.
This was not difficult for Huo Yuhao; he could quickly pass the test with three Flame Lotus Grenades.
...
Half an hour later, Xuan Ziwen took out the second-level soul engineer's badge and pinned it on Huo Yuhao's school uniform.
"Yuhao, congratulations on becoming a Level 2 Soul Engineer and breaking the record of 'the fastest person to become a Level 2 Soul Engineer set by Xiao Hongchen, which had only been maintained for a short time."
Then everyone returned to Illustrious Virtue Hall, and Xuan Ziwen prepared to tell Xiao Hongchen the good news.
He wanted to give Xiao Hongchen a sense of crisis, reminding him that he still needed to practice and to stop him from acting like he was the boss while continuously trailing behind.
At this time, Xiao Hongchen, who had just finished practicing engraving the core magic circle, was discussing something with a male student while walking.
"Li Yan, how is the purity of the fire attribute of your Spirit Fire martial soul?" Xiao Hongchen asked, hugging his shoulders and looking straight ahead.
The student named Li Yan is one of the regular team members participating in this year's Continental Advanced College Fighting Spirit Competition.
The regular players are the reserve team from the previous term; hence, they have already been determined, and no selection is needed.
Li Yan waved his hands helplessly and said, "Alas, my Spirit Fire martial soul is far from ordinary fire element martial souls. It is a kind of flame with many impurities."
Xiao Hongchen smiled: "My brother-in-law... bah, bah, my sister's friend, he is a special kind of fire martial soul, and the attribute purity is extremely high."
"How pure is it?" Li Yan didn't pay attention to his slip of the tongue and focused all his attention on the fire martial soul.
"Compared to the ultimate fire, it's only higher, not lower," Xiao Hongchen said with a smile. The ultimate is the bottom line, and the upper limit is currently unknown.
Li Yan was stunned. He did not doubt the truthfulness of what Xiao Hongchen said; he was just shocked at how the dean found such a talented student with such amazing martial arts talent.
After they walked for a while, Xiao Hongchen suddenly said, "Li Yan, look over there, that's him. Hey, it looks like he has broken my record."
Li Yan was stunned again. What the hell? Break Xiao Hongchen's record??
Xiao Hongchen stepped forward quickly: "Yuhao, how is it? Is the test going well?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded: "Not bad, about the same as last time; three Flame Lotus Grenades solved it."
Xiao Hongchen introduced Li Yan to Huo Yuhao and briefly described some of the other party's martial soul situations.
Li Yan sighed and took the initiative to say, "In fact, an ancient book passed down from my family records that there was a fire elemental soul master who looked for various rare flames and combined two, three, or even more flames with his martial soul."
"It makes his ordinary fire elemental martial soul evolve continuously, and the soul skills that combine multiple flames are terrifyingly powerful; they can even fight against a higher class."
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. Senior Li Yan, do you also have a template?
