Chapter 121 One Dares to Say, One Dares to Believe
Facing Lin Yun's strange gaze, Huo Yuhao imperceptibly clenched his fist.
It had not been half a month since he successfully fused with the Titan Snow Demon, and he still had not fully accepted his current appearance.
Only in Shrek Academy, where people had all sorts of Martial Souls, even someone like Xie Huanyue who looked like a meatball, did he not appear so out of place. Unlike outside where he would receive strange looks wherever he went, otherwise Huo Yuhao estimated he would have exploded long ago.
After Lin Yun mentioned his appearance, coupled with Lin Yun's somewhat strange gaze, the first thought that surfaced in Huo Yuhao's twisted self-esteem was resentment.
"Both are power-type Martial Souls, why is your appearance, Lin Yun, so handsome, while I, Huo Yuhao, have to become this frightening appearance that everyone fears?"
Even Huo Yuhao himself did not notice this mentality.
Because Lin Yun had helped him after all, and was one of the few in Shrek's Outer Court who had never looked down on him. Compared to his proud roommate Wang Dong, Lin Yun treated everyone with a gentle attitude.
This made it impossible for Huo Yuhao to hate him.
However, because of the twisted mentality from the Extreme North trip, his temperament had changed somewhat. Even the Skydream Ice Worm was resented by him, let alone Lin Yun?
His fist clenched and then relaxed, Huo Yuhao with a somewhat dark expression revealed an ugly smile with mixed feelings: "I don't want this either, Brother Yun. During this vacation, when I went to hunt soul beasts to obtain my second soul ring, I awakened a second Martial Soul. My appearance was also transformed by this second Martial Soul."
"Second Martial Soul?" Lin Yun "shocked", 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 remove the title of a waste with the worst talent from his head, and naturally, he would not hide it from Lin Yun, whom he had always held a good impression of.
Therefore, Lin Yun was still the first person in Shrek Academy to know this news.
"This is a bit strange..." Lin Yun pretended to frown and ponder, speculating aloud, "Martial Souls are innate talents of Soul Masters. Even ordinary people without soul power have Martial Souls, they are just useless Martial Souls that cannot be cultivated."
"All Martial Souls will definitely reveal themselves during the first awakening. Postnatal changes to Martial Souls only involve evolution. Where are there examples of postnatal awakening of Twin Martial Souls?"
Lin Yun "pondered hard", unable to figure it out despite much thought.
Huo Yuhao maintained a polite smile, but there was still some cold sweat on his forehead. The origin of his second Martial Soul was related to the existence of the Skydream Ice Worm, which was his biggest trump card and absolutely could not be explored by anyone.
"Lin Yun, you have already sought..."
Before Huo Yuhao could finish this sentence in his mind, Lin Yun suddenly had an epiphany and patted his forehead.
"I understand! You probably awakened Twin Martial Souls from the beginning, but because you were physically weak since childhood, you couldn't bear the power of Twin Martial Souls, so the second Martial Soul remained hidden. It wasn't until you obtained your second soul ring and your physical fitness was sufficient to bear the second Martial Soul that it truly revealed itself!" Lin Yun's eyes shone brightly as he enthusiastically helped Huo Yuhao patch up the explanation.
"...?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned, unable to find any path to death. He originally thought Lin Yun was probing his secret, but he didn't expect that he was seriously finding reasons for him.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's twisted mentality changed slightly, and he began to feel a little guilty towards Lin Yun.
"I really shouldn't have. I've seen all of Brother Yun's kindness towards me. He is different from that meat worm. How could I have ill intentions towards him?"
"It should be. My second Martial Soul is the Titan Snow Demon, an ice attribute soul beast from the Extreme North." Huo Yuhao said to Lin Yun with a smile, his smile very sincere, without that gloomy feeling.
"That's right. The Titan Snow Demon is one of the top soul beast races in the Extreme North, incredibly powerful. With your previous body, you truly couldn't bear it. My guess might be correct." Lin Yun nodded seriously.
'Yes, the reason Brother Yun gave can perfectly serve as my explanation for the second Martial Soul. Thank you so much, Brother Yun. I must repay him in the future!' Looking at Lin Yun's completely serious expression, Huo Yuhao was very moved in his heart and secretly told himself this.
"Congratulations on entering the ranks of geniuses. In the future, in a place like Shrek where geniuses gather, you will also be able to secure a place for yourself!" Lin Yun patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, saying in an encouraging tone, "You should continue cleaning. I'm going to eat, so I won't chat anymore. When I have time later, I'll come see how powerful your Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul is!"
"Alright, Brother Yun!" Huo Yuhao scratched the back of his head again, revealing a simple and honest smile.
The last trace of jealousy towards Lin Yun in his heart vanished. How could I dare to be jealous of such a good friend?
I'm not worthy!
Huo Yuhao felt that even if he woke up in the middle of the night, he would have to slap himself twice to repent for his previous dark thoughts. Lin Yun was truly like his Golden Dragon Martial Soul, emitting a warm and dazzling golden light from head to toe, dispelling the darkness in people's hearts.
Brother Yun is truly too good!
The best Brother Yun who protects Shrek, I, Huo Yuhao, will consider it my duty!
Even the Five-star war criminal Skydream Ice Worm commented in the Sea of Spirits: "This little fellow is truly not bad!"
Just like that, with a round of complete nonsense from Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao actually believed it. His on-the-spot performance was a perfect score.
The son of fortune, Huo Gua, who had just begun to rise, had not yet had time to look down on everyone before he was already kneeling to Lin Yun.
It has to be said, being young is good... Uh, easy to deceive!
Even Lin Yun himself could not have imagined that he would dare to say it, and Huo Yuhao would actually dare to believe it. How could he possibly hold back his laughter?
However...
A young and inexperienced Huo Gua who had not yet been "dog-trained" by Tang San, and a meat worm who only knew how to sleep all day, it didn't seem unreasonable for them to be together, did it?
If Elux had been inside Huo Yuhao's body, Lin Yun's words would absolutely not have had such an effect.
It could only be said to be a strange combination of circumstances.
Even after arriving at the shore of Sea God Lake, Lin Yun's expression was still somewhat strange. He wanted to laugh but held it back.
"My Lord, you are truly good at deceiving people. If I didn't know in advance, I would have almost thought what you said was true." The Ice Emperor could not help but speak up to ridicule him.
She was truly stunned by Lin Yun's previous performance. Her admiration for Lin Yun was like a surging river, endless and unceasing, and she gasped in awe as if gazing at a high mountain!
"The soul beasts of Douluo have eight bushels of talent, yet you, Lord, claim ten bushels for yourself. The Extreme North owes one, and Star Dou owes one!" The Five-star critic Ice Emperor thus said.
"Hey, Bing'er, what you said is wrong. How can this be called deceiving people?" Lin Yun waved his hand, saying with a dissatisfied expression.
This was clearly achieved through personal charisma!
