Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 121 One Dares to Speak, One Dares to Believe

Faced with Lin Yun's strange gaze, Huo Yuhao clenched his fist almost imperceptibly.

It's been less than half a month since he successfully fused with the Titan Snow Demon, and he still hasn't quite accepted his current appearance.

In other words, Shrek Academy has all sorts of martial souls, even a fleshy ball like Xie Huanyue, so he doesn't seem so different, and he doesn't get strange looks wherever he goes like he does outside. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao would probably have exploded long ago.

After Lin Yun brought up his appearance, coupled with Lin Yun's somewhat strange gaze, Huo Yuhao, whose pride was twisted, felt nothing but resentment as his first thought.

"We both have power-type martial souls, so why is it that Lin Yun is so handsome, while I, Huo Yuhao, have to become this dreaded creature?"

Even Huo Yuhao himself didn't realize this mindset.

Because Lin Yun had helped him before, and was one of the few people in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard who never looked down on him. Compared to his arrogant roommate Wang Dong, Lin Yun treated everyone with a gentle attitude.

This made it impossible for Huo Yuhao to hate him.

However, his twisted mentality during his trip to the far north had somewhat altered his character. He even harbored resentment towards Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, let alone Lin Yun.

Huo Yuhao, his fist clenching and unclenching, his face turning somewhat pale and dark, gave an awkward smile that was hard to describe: "I didn't want to either, Brother Yun. During this holiday, I went to hunt soul beasts and awakened my second martial soul when I obtained my second soul ring. My appearance was also transformed into this by my second martial soul."

"A second martial soul?" Lin Yun was 'shocked' and quickly asked, "So you now have twin martial souls?"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded.

He never intended to hide his twin martial souls. He had long wanted to get rid of the label of being a useless person with the lowest talent. As for Lin Yun, whom he had always had a good impression of, he naturally wouldn't hide it from him.

Therefore, Lin Yun was the first person in Shrek Academy to know this news.

"That's a bit strange..." Lin Yun pretended to frown and ponder, and speculated, "Martial Soul is an innate talent of Soul Masters. Even ordinary people without Soul Power have Martial Souls, but they are useless Martial Souls that cannot be cultivated."

"All martial souls will absolutely reveal themselves during their first awakening. The only change in a martial soul after that is evolution. Where are there any examples of people awakening twin martial souls after that?"

Lin Yun racked his brains but could not find a solution.

Huo Yuhao maintained a polite smile, but a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. The origin of his second martial soul was related to the existence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was his biggest trump card, and he absolutely would not allow anyone to investigate it.

"Lin Yun, you have already taken..."

Before Huo Yuhao could finish saying those words in his mind, Lin Yun suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead.

"I understand now. You probably awakened twin martial souls from the beginning, but because you were physically weak since childhood and couldn't bear the power of twin martial souls, the second martial soul was hidden until you obtained your second soul ring and your physical condition was sufficient to withstand the second martial soul, at which point it truly revealed itself!" Lin Yun's eyes shone brightly as he enthusiastically helped Huo Gua patch up his wounds.

"...?"

Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded. He couldn't get any information about the path to death. He originally thought that Lin Yun was trying to find out his secrets, but he didn't expect that he was actually seriously trying to find a reason for his death.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's twisted mentality underwent a slight change, and he felt somewhat guilty towards Lin Yun.

"I really shouldn't have done that. I've seen how good Brother Yun is to me. He's different from that worm. How could I have any ill intentions towards him?" "I guess so. My second martial soul is Titan Snow Demon, an ice-attribute soul beast from the far north." Huo Yuhao said to Lin Yun with a smile, his smile very sincere, without that gloomy feeling.

"That's right. Titan Snow Demons are one of the top soul beast races in the far north, incredibly powerful. Your previous body certainly couldn't withstand it. My guess might be correct." Lin Yun nodded seriously.

"Yes, Brother Yun's reason perfectly explains why I have a second martial soul. Thank you so much, Brother Yun! I'll definitely repay him in the future!"

Seeing Lin Yun's serious expression, Huo Yuhao was deeply moved and silently told himself.

"Congratulations! You've joined the ranks of geniuses. From now on, you'll have a place in a place like Shrek Academy, where geniuses abound!" Lin Yun patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, speaking encouragingly. "Then you continue cleaning. I need to go eat, so I'll stop talking now. I'll check out how powerful your Titan Snow Demon martial soul is later!"

"Okay, Brother Yun!" Huo Yuhao scratched the back of his head again, revealing a simple and honest smile.

The last trace of jealousy I felt towards Lin Yun vanished. How could I possibly be jealous of such a good friend?

I'm not worthy!

Huo Yuhao felt like he should slap himself twice if he woke up in the middle of the night, to repent for the dark thoughts in his heart. Lin Yun was just like his martial soul, the Golden Dragon, radiating a warm and dazzling golden light that dispelled the darkness in people's hearts.

Brother Yun, that's wonderful!

Protecting Yun Ge, the best guy in Shrek Academy, is my duty, Huo Yuhao!

Even the five-star war criminal Tianmeng Bingcan commented in his spiritual sea, "This little guy is indeed quite good!"

And so, Lin Yun's nonsensical ramblings actually convinced Huo Yuhao. His impromptu performance was flawless. Huo Yuhao, the chosen one who had just begun to take off, hadn't even had a chance to look down on everyone before he was already kneeling before Lin Yun.

I have to say, being young is wonderful...

Wow, so easy to fool!

Even Lin Yun himself couldn't believe that Huo Yuhao would actually believe what he said. How could he possibly stand it?

But...

It doesn't seem unreasonable for a young, inexperienced Huo Gua, who hasn't yet been trained by Tang San, and a worm who only knows how to sleep all day, to be put together.

If Electrolux were inside Huo Yuhao's body, Lin Yun's words would never have had such an effect.

It was just a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Even after arriving at the shore of Poseidon Lake, Lin Yun's expression remained somewhat strange; he wanted to laugh, but held it back.

"Your Majesty, you're really good at fooling people. If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have almost believed what you said." Hyotei couldn't help but complain.

She was truly stunned by Lin Yun's previous performance, and her admiration for Lin Yun was as boundless as a surging river, as awe-inspiring as a towering mountain!

"The Soul Beasts of Douluo are eight-tenths talented, Your Majesty alone possesses ten-tenths, the far north is lacking one-tenth, and the Starry Sky is lacking one-tenth!" said the five-star commentator, Ice Emperor.

"Hey, Bing'er, you're not right about that. How can you call that deceiving people?" Lin Yun waved his hand and said with dissatisfaction.

This is clearly due to personal charisma!
