Chapter 440.1 - Huo Yuhaos Feelings (1/2)
“Wait, wait.” Xu Sanshi hurriedly interrupted Tang Wutong, and his expression turned serious too. “Wutong, do you mean that Yuhao failed after he tried to perform a martial soul fusion with you?”
Tang Wutong nodded and replied, “Yes!”
Xu Sanshi’s expression immediately changed. He charged out of the canteen.
Jiang Nannan’s expression also changed. The way she looked at Tang Wutong also changed slightly.
Tang Wutong was confused as she asked, “Sister Nannan, what’s going on? Didn’t the two of you just agree that martial soul fusion isn’t very common?”
Jiang Nannan was stunned as she looked at her, as if she was about to see through her. Tang Wutong felt very uncomfortable as she was watched, and furrowed her brow. “What’s wrong with all of you? You’re all acting so weirdly.”
Jiang Nannan sighed and said, “We were wrong. Maybe we were all wrong. We didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Tang Wutong’s expression turned a little gloomy, “Can you be clearer with your words? Do you have to be so unclear?”
Jiang Nannan shook her head and said, “Wutong, I’m sorry for all this. I apologize to you on behalf of Yuhao. His change has nothing to do with you, nor is he angry with you. Haih…”
Tang Wutong was puzzled as she asked, “Then what’s going on? When he was eating his breakfast earlier on, he seemed to have gone mad. The look in his eyes was hollow.”
An unbearable look flashed across Jiang Nannan’s eyes as she answered, “Yuhao is too pitiful. Alright, let me tell you a story.
“When Yuhao first came to Shrek Academy, he was only an ordinary young man. He only managed to enter the academy by using the Tang Sect’s quota. If he went through an ordinary examination, he wouldn’t have been able to pass.
Tang Wutong was immediately drawn to this story. Although she felt that Huo Yuhao was a lecher who had tried to hug her, she was very aware of Huo Yuhao’s abilities. He was a Soul Sage who wasn’t even twenty years old. He even had twin martial souls! If he couldn’t even make it into Shrek Academy, then Shrek Academy’s standards were simply too high!
Jiang Nannan continued saying, “After entering the Academy, he stayed in a dorm like many of the other students. He had a roommate called Wang Dong. Very soon, they became good friends. They worked hard, learned, and cultivated together. Although Yuhao appeared to be very ordinary at the start, he put in more work than anyone else. Very soon, he showed his potential in the Academy. On the other hand, Wang Dong was innately talented. With the two of them working together, they managed to become the champions of the freshmen assessment.
“After this, they competed in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. They performed brilliantly, and eventually won the tournament, contributing greatly to the Academy.
“As time passed, everyone’s abilities grew significantly. As an exchange student, Huo Yuhao went to the Sun Moon Empire to learn. His friendship with Wang Dong grew tighter and tighter. After that, they met once again during a blind date in the Academy. There, he found out that the roommate that he had stayed with for so many years was actually a lady. She wasn’t Wang Dong, but Wang Dong’er.”
“This change in her gender also caused their relationship to change. Very soon, they became a couple that everyone was envious of. However, Dong’er seemed to have some kind of congenital disease. To save her, Yuhao went to the Setting Sun Forest, a place that is extremely dangerous. He suffered critical injuries, but brought back a valuable treasure. When he returned to the academy, he was on the verge of death. The Academy did its best to save him, and managed to preserve his life. However, he was paralyzed, and couldn’t walk anymore.
“After that, we participated in the same tournament for the second time. As the Sun Moon Empire targeted all the competitors of the tournament, we were forced to escape to a place called the Yin-Yang Love Querying Valley. Dong’er was hurt there, and went into a coma…”
Jiang Nannan related the story of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er to Tang Wutong. Tang Wutong was slightly lost at the start, but she couldn’t help but be moved when she heard the story.
“…Yuhao couldn’t find Dong’er just like that. He didn’t know where she went until he met you.”
Jiang Nannan took a deep look at Tang Wutong.
Tang Wutong furrowed her brow. “You mean that Wang Dong’er and I look similar?”
Jiang Nannan silently nodded.
Tang Wutong snorted and said, “There are thousands of people in the Douluo Continent. What’s so strange even if we look alike? All of you recognized the wrong person.”
Jiang Nannan sighed and said, “We initially thought that you were Dong’er, just that you’d lost your memory. Now it seems like we got the wrong person. Yuhao acted the way he did earlier because he confirmed this point.”
“Oh? How did he do so? Just because his martial soul can’t fuse with me? It’s a joke.”
Jiang Nannan said, “A person’s martial soul can change. However, it’s very difficult to change the type of one’s soul power. Yuhao and Dong’er’s martial souls were completely compatible with each other. They both possessed twin martial souls. With the fusion of their twin martial souls, they managed to unleash an unprecedented four fusion skills. Before they managed to grow strong, they were able to beat stronger opponents with their fusion skills. They even called the fusion of their soul powers Haodong Power.
“When Huo Yuhao asked you to fuse your martial soul with him yesterday, his main intention should have been to confirm whether or not you were Dong’er. If your soul power could fuse, then it would have been almost certain that you were Dong’er.
