Chapter 60: Inspiration from the Martial Soul Fusion Technique
The second day of the assessment was much like the first. Lin Qinghan's team faced opponents with few Great Soul Masters, and with his help, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong managed just fine, though it was a bit more strenuous than yesterday.
Despite feeling exhausted after the games, Lin Qinghan couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. His team had won all seven games over the two days.
"Qinghan, we've won six in a row. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll win the seventh soon. Why are you so calm?" Xiao Xiao asked, looking at him with curiosity. He didn't seem to show much excitement and appeared somewhat bored.
"If you had Brother Qinghan's strength, you'd be the same," Huo Yutong added, smiling brightly.
She had easily dealt with all the Great Soul Masters she encountered today. The feeling of defeating opponents with her mental shock was addictive, even if it left her exhausted after using it twice. It only motivated her to practice more, and now she spent less time studying soul guides, pestering Lin Qinghan to teach her mental shock techniques whenever she could.
Lin Qinghan spent the entire day watching the games, but didn't participate. He simply sat on the field in a chair, taking in the action. At first, some people were curious about why he wasn't fighting, but when Lin Qinghan casually knocked a fast-attacking spirit master off the field, they understood—he was just too powerful to bother.
As the final match of the day approached, Lin Qinghan and his team returned to the competition field.
They faced a team with identical twin girls, and Lin Qinghan raised an eyebrow in surprise. He knew he would have to step in this time; otherwise, it would be too difficult for Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong to win, even with his spiritual support.
"The game begins! Both sides, release your spirits!" the referee announced.
The teams introduced themselves, and aside from Lin Qinghan, everyone released their spirits.
Huo Yutong noticed that the opponents all had two-hundred-year spirit rings, which made her face fall slightly. This was the first time they'd faced an entire team of Great Soul Masters.
Xiao Xiao took the lead and attacked first, launching three massive bronze tripods at the enemies.
With Lin Qinghan's spiritual support, her angles were tricky, forcing the opponents to defend. The only one who wasn't knocked down immediately was Huang Chutian, the strong attack spirit master. As he charged forward, Huo Yutong's mental shock hit.
The twin sisters, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, quickly recovered and, sensing the danger, linked together. They executed their Martial Soul Fusion skill.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Heaven and Earth Net!" they shouted, and their hair grew long and intertwined, forming a massive net across the field.
Despite Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong noticing it with Lin Qinghan's help, they were too slow to dodge. The net covered them completely, binding them tightly.
"Unless you're a strong attacking soul master, you can't break our fusion skill. Now, you should admit defeat," the twin sisters said, relieved their skill had worked. They had just faced a tricky attack from Xiao Xiao's tripods and Huo Yutong's mental shock, and they didn't want to face any more of it.
Lin Qinghan, however, didn't respond. He simply released two lightning strikes, which immediately untangled Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong from the net.
Seeing how easily Lin Qinghan had broken their fusion skill, the twin sisters' faces fell. They tried to regain control, but before they could act, Lin Qinghan released a flash of lightning in front of them. Both sisters collapsed instantly, unconscious.
Huang Chutian, already dazed from Huo Yutong's mental shock, wasn't spared either. He fell unconscious from a casual thunderbolt from Lin Qinghan.
"Referee, I didn't hurt them too badly. They're just unconscious. Announce the result," Lin Qinghan said nonchalantly.
After checking the unconscious opponents, the referee confirmed, "The opponent has lost the ability to resist. Lin Qinghan's team wins!"
On their way back, Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong couldn't contain their curiosity.
"How did you take them out so quickly?" they asked, eager to know Lin Qinghan's method.
"Don't worry, you'll find out later. Yutong, I'll need to speak with you later. Be ready, don't be scared," Lin Qinghan said, amused by their eagerness.
He was inspired by the twin sisters' Martial Soul Fusion and was curious about experimenting with a similar technique with Huo Yutong. He felt their fusion skill's fluctuation was somewhat similar to the energy they'd shared when training her mental shock. Since his martial soul was based on brainwaves and Huo Yutong's was focused on the eyes and brain, he thought it was worth trying out.
When Lin Qinghan returned to the dorm, Wang Dong couldn't wait to tell him, "I won all three of my games today!"
Wang Dong was excited, finally showing the results of her hard work. Though she had been taught a lesson by Lin Qinghan earlier in the school year, she was proud of her progress and had revealed her true abilities in the freshman assessment.
"As long as you're happy, but tomorrow's matches will be tougher. We have four games, and the opponents will be stronger. Are you sure you don't want to recover quickly?" Lin Qinghan teased, amused by Wang Dong's smug expression.
Wang Dong immediately stopped her playful antics and hurried to meditate, taking his advice seriously.
Lin Qinghan smiled and thought to himself that Wang Dong was still motivated, despite her earlier antics. He had been wondering how she had reached level 21 at the beginning of the school year. Even without his influence, she clearly wasn't slacking off in her training.
Not wanting to dwell on it, Lin Qinghan shrugged and picked up the food on the table to eat.
Wang Dong had gotten better at taking care of him recently, even preparing food without being asked. Sometimes, though, she would playfully irritate him, making him want to zap her with a bolt of lightning. It was harmless, of course, but it seemed like she'd developed a strange habit.
"Maybe she has an M attribute," Lin Qinghan thought for a moment, but quickly dismissed the idea. How could such a good person have that kind of trait?
