"Yuhao, just where did you go?"
"Are you cold? Are you hungry? Did you encounter a suitable soul beast, and is it dangerous for you in the soul beast forest?"
Dai Huabin stared at the dormitory door with hollow eyes, and before he knew it, his eyes had already turned red.
An hour quickly passed, and Dai Huabin told himself that searching for a spiritual-type soul beast would certainly require time.
Two hours passed, and Dai Huabin told himself that it should only take a little while longer.
Three hours passed, and Dai Huabin continuously told himself that it was close, it was close, Yuhao would be back very soon.
Four hours passed, and the sky gradually darkened. The residual glow of the setting sun left a faint red hue on the distant horizon; the evening glow was beautiful, yet it could not illuminate the gloom within Dai Huabin's heart.
Leaning against the head of the bed, Dai Huabin stared in the direction of the dormitory door, cry out continuously in his heart, "Yuhao, why aren't you back yet?"
Five hours passed, and the night gradually deepened. Tears constantly flowed from Dai Huabin's eyes, and no matter who might come to comfort him, they could not be stopped... Well, though from beginning to end, not a single person actually came over to comfort him.
Five hours of waiting; what an immense torment it was for Dai Huabin.
At this very moment, he had only a single thought left in his mind: "Yuhao, as long as you can return alive, that is all that matters. Even if you didn't find a soul ring, even if you failed to absorb a soul ring and became an ordinary person, or were even crippled, I am willing. I only want you to live."
The moonlight illuminated the earth, its bright and clear brilliance filtering through the window to fall upon Dai Huabin, casting a dark silhouette within the room.
Dai Huabin's heart also gradually grew cold and dead along with it, the anticipation in his eyes transforming toward despair.
Suddenly, Dai Huabin seemed to perceive something.
Wiping away his tears, as if a fuse had been ignited, he swiftly leaped up from the bed and ran out of the dormitory, a fire of excitement igniting within those eyes that had been bordering on despair.
Simultaneously, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—burst forth with flashing radiance from Dai Huabin's body. After a flash of light, he transformed into a humanoid White Tiger, leaping down from the dormitory building regardless of the consequences.
"Yuhao... Yuhao..." he cried out desperately, his voice already hoarse from weeping, wishing only to see the fated person he longed for in his heart at the very first instant.
A hundred meters away from the dormitory building, Huo Yuhao's figure—which had become upright and robust due to the awakening of the Glacier Conjoined Ape Martial Soul—had shot up directly to over two meters tall after obtaining the third soul ring for his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul. That body of sinewy muscles was as terrifying as granite.
With every step he took, the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Yet, despite Huo Yuhao undergoing such a massive transformation, Dai Huabin still recognized him at a single glance. After all, appearances could deceive, but the resonance between their Martial Souls could not be faked.
Huo Yuhao similarly sensed Dai Huabin. He could barely even see the approaching figure clearly before his body involuntarily charged toward that White Tiger.
Following that, a purple soul ring burst forth with flashing radiance. Having instantly completed his Glacier Conjoined Ape possession, he transformed into a violent, grand Glacier Conjoined Ape.
The two beastly silhouettes of the ape and the tiger—one sprinting desperately, the other descending from the heavens.
With a booming sound, the violent Glacier Conjoined Ape shattered the green flagstones beneath his feet, continuously drawing closer, drawing closer under the brilliance of that full moon...
Finally, these two figures of an ape and a tiger overlapped at a position two-fifths of the way up from the ground relative to the dormitory building. The two figures merged into one, embracing tightly at the waist of the building as witnessed by the bright moon.
And such a massive commotion naturally drew the attention of the other occupants within the dormitory building. Quite a few people stepped out of their dormitory doors while cursing under their breaths.
As a result, they happened to witness an eyesearing scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Under the bright and clear moonlight, an exceedingly oversized ape held a smaller-sized White Tiger in a princess carry.
They slowly rotated as they landed.
The eyes of everyone who ran out of the dormitories to watch shattered all over the floor...
Only Mu En, who was idling his life away, revealed a look of intrigue. That exceedingly oversized ape just now seemed to be the rumored Glacier Conjoined Ape, a powerful ice-attribute Martial Soul second only to the Ice Sky Snow Lady, the Ice Jade Scorpion, and the Titan Snow Ape.
When did such a genius appear in the Outer Courtyard? Yet he was completely unaware of it; could it be a Twin Martial Soul?
Well, thinking about it, it should indeed be the case. Looking at this kid's soul power, it had already reached Rank 31, yet this Glacier Conjoined Ape possessed only a single thousand-year soul ring. It should indeed be a Twin Martial Soul.
Looking at it this way, although the academy had suffered the loss of a Twin Martial Soul genius over half a year ago due to that young girl Zhou Yi's recklessness, they had now gained another, which could be considered not a loss.
However, coming back to the topic, although this Glacier Conjoined Ape Martial Soul was powerful, it possessed a fatal flaw just like the Evil Fire Phoenix.
If the possessor of an Evil Fire Phoenix would be troubled by evil fire.
Then that of the Glacier Conjoined Ape was frigid lust.
The only thing worth rejoicing over was probably that this kid was a male, so he could suppress the frigid lust within his body by visiting brothels, unlike Ma Xiaotao, who still needed to rely on willpower and ice- or water-attribute soul masters to suppress the evil fire within her body.
After all, for a young girl, if she were to suppress the evil fire in that manner, it would ultimately not bring a good reputation to their Shrek Academy.
Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin did not know that they were already being watched by a crowd of people, and even if they knew, they would not care.
The Glacier Conjoined Ape Martial Soul and the White Tiger Martial Soul were retracted into their respective bodies.
Huo Yuhao was very tall and large, and the muscles on his body were very solid; that warm embrace was like the most perfect nest in the human world.
The moment Dai Huabin threw himself into it, he had already passed out in utter contentment.
Days of continuous sleeplessness and lack of rest had long since left Dai Huabin thoroughly exhausted and weak, so the moment it was confirmed that Huo Yuhao had returned safely, he passed out from fatigue.
On the other hand, what about Huo Yuhao?
Having suffered intensely from the side effects of his Martial Soul for consecutive days, this reunion with Dai Huabin meant he could no longer control himself.
However, he still forcefully suppressed the side effects of his Martial Soul, carrying Dai Huabin into the dormitory under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
The moment the dormitory door slammed shut, driven by the side effects of the Martial Soul, Huo Yuhao completely lost his self-control.
Subsequently, the sounds of ghostly wailing and wolf howling echoed throughout the entire dormitory building.
And these sounds naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the students.
However, constrained by the academy rules stating that no one could enter another student's dormitory without permission, these people could not endure the magical sound piercing their ears. Left with no alternative, they could only go to lodge a complaint with the teachers, only to be stopped outside the dormitory building by Mu En.
"Elder Mu, this..." As the Director of Instruction for the Outer Courtyard, Du Weilun was the first to arrive. Originally, upon hearing that a life might be lost over here, he was furious, but upon seeing Mu En blocking the path, he could not help but reveal a look of incomprehension.
Logically speaking, with Elder Mu present here, he should not have allowed that great ape to have its way, so why was this...
"No need to worry, it's merely a young fellow's frigid lust erupting. It will be fine by tomorrow."
Mu En waved his hand with an air of casual calm, subsequently inquiring, "Do you know who resides in that dormitory?"
