Two Martial Soul Fusion Skills

When he killed the Soul Master wielding the Coiling Dragon Staff, a great deal of spiritual power drifted over to him. He now possessed the most spiritual power.

"Heh, First Soul Skill! Holy Light Illumination!"

A cold laugh rang out the next second. Chen Jianshu looked toward the sound and saw a pillar of light fall upon him. He felt as though his whole body's movements were hindered.

Immediately afterward, a boy appeared, dressed in conspicuously flashy white formalwear, with a pair of golden wings on his back and an Angel Phantom behind him.

He looked about two years older than Chen Jianshu. Eyeing the spiritual power around him, the boy raised a hand and clenched it.

"Then thanks for the spiritual power you've brought me! Second Soul Skill, Holy Sword!"

The newcomer beat his wings and flew straight at him, his long sword aimed at his heart. Just as Chen Jianshu was about to use his trump card, a piercing chill swept in.

"Who's there?"

The boy stopped at once and used the Holy Sword in his hand to block two incoming slashes of ice-element power. He turned sharply and saw a figure with long, pale blue hair and a deep-blue sword appear.

A short-haired girl with blue hair followed behind her. The woman with the blue sword spoke:

"He's my prey!"

"Miss, I caught him first."

Seeing that there were two of them, both with two-ring cultivation, the boy with the Angel Martial Soul was full of wariness. Then the woman raised her sword, pointed it at him, and said:

"You're prey too! Both of you are staying here!"

Facing the two of them, the boy with the Angel Martial Soul was full of wariness. He had originally intended to avoid their edge for the time being, but he was deeply unwilling to give up. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt his chrysanthemum tighten.

"Noble Phantasm Projection!"

The next second, a Holy Sword radiating golden light pierced through his body. Disbelief spread across his face as he turned to look at Chen Jianshu.

"How did you break free of my Soul Skill?"

"Who knows?"

Before he was eliminated, what probably left the deepest impression on him was that pair of mesmerizing purple eyes.

After analyzing the two weapons, Chen Jianshu obtained two more three-star Noble Phantasms: [Holy Sword] and [Light-Splitting Sword].

"Frost!"

The next second, an aura of extreme cold swept in as the woman wielding the blue sword attacked. Chen Jianshu blocked her with the Holy Sword.

"Looks like you're an expert swordsman too. Give me your name!"

The two exchanged ten moves. The girl's eyes brimmed with fighting spirit as she demanded his name, but he gave a cold snort and said:

"I don't change my given name when I walk or my surname when I sit: Wu Changkong of Eastsea Academy!"

"Good! Wu Changkong, is it? I'll remember you! Again!"

The woman attacked with her sword once more. Chen Jianshu fought as he retreated, then suddenly felt a chill at his back and immediately used spatial teleportation to dodge the attack.

He looked up and saw a huge axe crashing down. The woman was caught completely off guard and hurriedly raised her long sword to block.

"Sister Liu Shuang, watch out!"

Her companion immediately formed a shield of ice-element power to block the blow. The giant axe shattered the shield and struck the long sword, knocking the woman back.

A pink-haired girl carrying a two-meter-tall giant axe stepped out, followed by a boy holding a shield.

"A sneak attack? Despicable!"

Xue Liushuang clenched her fists indignantly, but her opponent shot back:

"This is the Spirit Ascension Platform. Surviving is the only rule."

The three sides formed a three-way standoff. Chen Jianshu also sensed people gathering nearby, so he immediately shot backward and left.

"Don't even think of running! Hand over your spiritual power!"

The pink-haired woman wielding the giant axe immediately charged after him, intending to kill him and claim a large amount of spiritual power. After all, Chen Jianshu had the most spiritual power on the entire field.

"Wait, Zhantian! Don't chase him too far!"

Her teammate behind her immediately called out in alarm, but it was already too late. Chen Jianshu suddenly wheeled around in a counterattack, thrusting the Dawn Divine Sword in his hand and using spatial teleportation to close in at the same time.

"Teleportation again!"

Kuang Zhantian was startled and could no longer dodge. His teammate, Jian मोchen, immediately unleashed his First Soul Skill. A pulling force came over them, and the Dawn Divine Sword in Chen Jianshu's hand veered uncontrollably off course and was pulled away.

"Cold Light!"

Just then, the deep-blue sword came slashing in. Jian मोchen was startled and hurriedly canceled his Soul Skill to block the attack.

"Do you take me for nonexistent?"

Xue Liushuang's gaze turned cold. The power of ice, carrying sword Qi, struck Jian मोchen hard enough to numb both his arms. At the same time, Weng Daimin sent a barrage of ice spikes at him from a distance, leaving him to defend himself with all his strength.

Elsewhere, with Chen Jianshu's weapon pulled away, Kuang Zhantian swung his axe down, hoping to kill him quickly and then support his teammate. But it was already too late.

"Noble Phantasm Projection, Sky Tiger Shield!"

A shield appeared in front of him and blocked the blow. Chen Jianshu's spiritual power had already begun to circulate, raising the age of his Soul Ring to a thousand years.

A thousand-year-level Noble Phantasm Projection could unleash fifty percent of the original Noble Phantasm's power. The giant axe struck the shield heavily, covering it in a web of cracks.

"Mोchen's Sky Tiger Shield?! How is that possible?!"

Kuang Zhantian was stunned. Taking advantage of that moment of shock, Chen Jianshu used Noble Phantasm Projection to summon the Coiling Dragon Staff and smash it at him.

His opponent recovered and immediately blocked, but because he did so in haste, he was knocked back five meters.

"Zhantian! I can't hold on much longer! Use that move!"

Seeing his companion suffer a setback and unable to hold out any longer, Jian मोchen shouted at once. Hearing him, Chen Jianshu and the two women all froze for a moment. Did their opponents have another trump card?

The next second, Kuang Zhantian came at them with his giant axe raised high. Ignoring his injuries, Jian मोchen immediately raised his shield to collide with the axe. Jian मोchen and Kuang Zhantian's Martial Souls began to fuse.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Sister Liu Shuang, come back, quickly!"

Weng Daimin cried out and immediately called her back. Xue Liushuang retreated to her companion's side at once.

"Roar!"

With a resounding tiger roar, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Sky Tiger, appeared, its might enough to rival a Soul Ancestor.

"Hey! You over there! Buy us five seconds, and we'll deal with him!"

Watching the Sky Tiger charge toward them, Xue Liushuang's eyes were full of wariness. At last, she looked at Chen Jianshu and proposed working together.

Hearing her, he fell silent for a moment. With the Sky Tiger charging at him, he could only meet it in battle.

"Five seconds at most, then I'm running."

"Okay!"

Once he had agreed, Xue Liushuang immediately ran toward her companion, who also ran toward her position. The Sky Tiger seemed to sense something and immediately charged at them.

Blue light flashed across Chen Jianshu's left hand and brown light across his right. He brought his hands together, then slammed them against the ground.

"Quagmire!"

It was a combined attack of water and earth elements. The ground beneath the Sky Tiger instantly turned into a quagmire. It stumbled as it stepped in and sank. Just as it tried to pull itself out, the Light-Splitting Sword appeared in Chen Jianshu's hand, and he plunged it into the mud.

"Ice Seal!"

Ice-element power froze the quagmire, temporarily stopping the Sky Tiger in its tracks. Meanwhile, Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin embraced, their figures slowly beginning to merge into a cocoon of blue and white light.

"Another Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Both Chen Jianshu and the Sky Tiger were taken aback. Have Martial Soul Fusion Skills become so cheap? he thought.
