A golden light enveloped Jing Shaoyu and Ye Xinglan, this sudden change not only caused others to show surprise and suspicion but also made Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue, who had a special relationship with Jing Shaoyu, reveal astonishment and dissatisfaction.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
They immediately understood the significance of the golden light; besides astonishment and dissatisfaction, there was only helplessness in their hearts. Especially Xu Xiaoyan, who was utterly speechless; she had intended to find herself an external ally, but instead, she had brought a wolf into the house!
How infuriating!
Wu Siduo was also surprised. She naturally knew this was a sign of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. She was just shocked and incredulous; how close were Jing Shaoyu and Ye Xinglan? How did they manage to perform a Martial Soul Fusion?
As for Na'er and Mo Hentian, though they hadn't experienced it themselves, they had seen it before. They quickly realized that Jing Shaoyu and Ye Xinglan were performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Their expressions were opposite: Mo Hentian was delighted, while Na'er was jealous.
As the golden light grew more intense, a heroic and martial woman's phantom appeared before everyone.
This woman bore a striking resemblance to Ye Xinglan, her golden hair making her appear more mature and dignified, exuding a sacred aura. She wore a set of golden armor adorned with green and blue star patterns, and three pairs of golden wings spread behind her, each filled with pristine feathers.
The woman held a golden sword, ancient in style, brimming with the weight of time. The sword's blade was inscribed with complex and mysterious patterns on both sides: one side depicted the sun, moon, stars, and the Big Dipper, while the other side showed mountains, rivers, and flora. The sword's guard was a pure blue gem containing the cosmos and the underworld.
A sacred and inviolable aura emanated from her, a majestic and unyielding presence that made her seem like a deity, her emotionless eyes overlooking the earth as if discerning all human affairs.
"Celestial Sword, Judgment!" the woman spoke in a cold, aloof voice, pleasant to hear but too detached to listen to for long.
As her words fell, the golden sword in her hand flew out, transforming into nine identical swords that formed a circle in the air. The woman's gaze swept lightly.
The nine swords, as if endowed with intelligence, flew out in three groups. One group targeted the second Devil Leopard, three swords piercing its heart, neck, and abdomen, pinning it to the ground.
The other two groups flew towards the third and fourth Devil Leopards. Six swords, sharp and swift as meteors, coordinated seamlessly. The two Devil Leopards were no match: one was beheaded, and the other was sliced into three pieces.
The battle was over!
From the appearance of the golden woman to the demise of the three Devil Leopards, it took less than a minute. The golden woman had appeared in the first half of that minute, meaning the three ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts were defeated in under thirty seconds by Jing Shaoyu and Ye Xinglan's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
A decisive and ruthless act!
This was the first impression of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill for Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others.
Leng Yaozhu, observing from the outside, was taken aback when she saw Jing Shaoyu performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a third girl other than Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan. Despite her experience as a Limit Douluo, she had never seen a Soul Master capable of performing Martial Soul Fusion Skills with three different Soul Masters.
In the history of the Soul Master world, the last one to master Martial Soul Fusion Skills to such an extent was the founder of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, ten thousand years ago.
According to the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's records, Huo Yuhao possessed four Martial Soul Fusion Skills, the most in the history of Soul Masters. However, all his Martial Soul Fusion Skills were with one person, Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong. Unlike her disciple, who had independent Martial Soul Fusion Skills with three people!
This was indeed a miracle in the Soul Master world! Leng Yaozhu thought to herself, her gaze involuntarily falling on Na'er, Wu Siduo, and Mo Hentian. For some reason, she suddenly had a premonition that A Yuan and these three girls would also possess Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
"Hehe!" The thought made Leng Yaozhu laugh. How could such an absurd thing really happen?
As the battle ended, the golden woman slowly dissipated into golden light. Jing Shaoyu carried Ye Xinglan down from the air to the ground. Ye Xinglan's face was pale, but her eyes were exceptionally bright. Her Soul Power had been depleted by the fusion, but her heart was filled.
Complex emotions filled Ye Xinglan's heart. She stared blankly at Jing Shaoyu, filled with confusion, hesitation, sorrow, and a hint of unconscious joy. She was still in a daze, from the Martial Soul Fusion to now, driven by instinct.
"Are you okay?" Jing Shaoyu asked, looking at Ye Xinglan, who was dazed in his arms.
Compared to Ye Xinglan's confusion, he had been mentally prepared. Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword Martial Soul and Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff Martial Soul were essentially of the same origin, both being celestial Martial Souls. Since he could perform a Martial Soul Fusion with Xu Xiaoyan, it was only natural that he could do so with Ye Xinglan.
The only thing that surprised him was the timing and location of their Martial Soul Fusion.
To be honest, he and Ye Xinglan had not been together for even a year, and their relationship was not particularly close. This sudden fusion made their relationship somewhat awkward.
Primordial World Pacifying War God, this was the name of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. The six-winged, sacred golden-armored woman was the War God!
"I'm fine," Ye Xinglan replied, regaining her composure at Jing Shaoyu's inquiry. Looking into his affectionate eyes, her cheeks unconsciously turned red, improving her complexion. She stepped away from Jing Shaoyu's embrace, trying to maintain a calm tone. "I need to meditate and recover. I might not be able to help in the next battle."
"It's okay, you rest. I'm here," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
Jing Shaoyu's smile made Ye Xinglan's heart waver. Just out of the Martial Soul Fusion state, she couldn't resist Jing Shaoyu's aura, every bit of it making her want to get closer. So, without answering, she immediately sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
"Brother Shaoyu, is Xinglan's body soft to hold?" Xu Xiaoyan walked up to Jing Shaoyu, her face showing displeasure, teasing him.
"Not only soft, but also fragrant," Jing Shaoyu chuckled, responding to Xu Xiaoyan's teasing. "Just like you, Xiaoyan!"
"Hmph! Big bad guy!" Xu Xiaoyan's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head, muttering softly. But her coquettish tone and shy demeanor made it hard not to suspect she was flirting with Jing Shaoyu.
Jing Shaoyu wanted to continue teasing Xu Xiaoyan, but he noticed that everyone else was watching him, especially Gu Yue and Na'er, who looked quite displeased. His waist tightened, and he immediately realized he had gotten carried away.
At that moment, an electronic voice sounded, diverting everyone's attention and saving him.
"Level 19 of the Soul Spirit Tower, cleared. Selectable Soul Spirit level: ten thousand years. Selectable Soul Spirit types: three. Proceed with selection?"
A light gate appeared, and images of Soul Beasts began to rotate in the middle. The first to appear was naturally the guardian Soul Beast of the 19th floor, the Devil Leopard.
"Ahem, Xiao Mo, take a look first to see if there's a suitable Soul Spirit for you. If there is, we can end today's tower challenge. If not, we'll continue upward," Jing Shaoyu immediately reminded.
"Oh, right!" Mo Hentian quickly understood and walked to the light gate to check the three selectable Soul Spirits on this level. Everyone else's gaze also turned to her.
At the light gate, Mo Hentian first dismissed the image of the Devil Leopard. This Soul Beast was more suitable for agile or dark attribute Soul Masters, so it was naturally the first to be excluded. After the Devil Leopard's image disappeared, the second Soul Beast image immediately caught Xu Xiaoyan's attention. She quickly ran to Mo Hentian's side, stopping her from dismissing this Soul Beast's image.
"So cute! Brother Shaoyu, I want this Soul Spirit. Can I have it?" Xu Xiaoyan shouted with hearts in her eyes. "Can I reserve this Soul Spirit first?"
Hearing Xu Xiaoyan's request, Jing Shaoyu was stunned, then looked at Gu Yue, who nodded silently. He replied, "Sure, we'll inform the teacher when we get out."
"Yay! Brother Shaoyu is the best!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately cheered.
The image on the light gate was a pink and white little creature, very lively and cute, perfectly matching Xu Xiaoyan's aesthetics and preferences.
