The Embryonic Form of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill

Looking at the Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Xiao Han could not help but sigh inwardly.

Before Shui Bing'er had even begun absorbing it, Xiao Han already knew what kind of Soul Skill it would grant her.

Shui Bing'er's first three Soul Skills seemed as though they had been predetermined. Even he, a Transmigrator, could not interfere with the outcome in advance.

Fortunately, this Thousand-Year Soul Ring could grant her considerable offensive power.

After adjusting herself to her best condition, Shui Bing'er began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Lin Zhiruo, Xiao Han, and Xue Wu quietly stood guard nearby.

Xiao Han suddenly said,

"Mom, I broke through to Rank 33 during the battle just now."

Lin Zhiruo was somewhat delighted upon hearing this.

"Really? Over the past month, you've put most of your energy into studying that lousy book and hardly cultivated at all. I was just about to give you a talking-to."

"Mom, that book is a priceless treasure. It's incredibly precious. One day, I'll prove its value to you."

"Enough, enough. Proper cultivation is your top priority. Don't get too full of yourself either. Once Bing'er and Xue Wu absorb their Third Soul Rings, they'll catch up to you soon enough."

Xue Wu chimed in.

"Dean Lin, I also made a breakthrough just now."

"You broke through to Rank 30?"

"Mm."

Lin Zhiruo nodded happily.

"That's wonderful. Once Bing'er finishes absorbing her Soul Ring, we'll find a suitable soul beast for you."

Xiao Han suddenly said,

"Mom, have you noticed that Xue Wu and Bing'er have become more and more in sync? During that battle just now, I seemed to see the embryonic form of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"Mm, I mentioned it to Bing'er before."

Xiao Han knew that Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill would come sooner or later.

However, with his early intervention, the sooner it came, the better.

Lin Zhiruo thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and looked at Xue Wu.

"What Xiao Han said makes sense. You and Bing'er really have become increasingly in sync. Perhaps you really can work together to complete a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Mm, Bing'er mentioned it to me as well. She said it was Xiao Han's suggestion. We planned to study it properly after obtaining our Third Soul Rings."

"Good. We'll study it together then."

Time passed second by second, and Shui Bing'er finally finished completely absorbing the Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

When she opened her eyes again, she could clearly feel that her strength seemed to have broken through into an entirely new realm.

Xiao Han asked,

"Bing'er, you finally finished absorbing the Soul Ring. How was it? How much did your Soul Power increase?"

Shui Bing'er stood up and smiled.

"Just as you said, the Thousand-Year Soul Ring seems to have elevated my strength by an entire realm. My Soul Power rose by more than one rank, almost two."

"Mm, it's about the same as when I absorbed a Soul Ring last time. Before we return to the academy, you might be able to break through to Rank 32."

"I hope so."

Xue Wu said,

"Bing'er, congratulations on officially becoming a Battle Soul Elder. By the way, what is your Third Soul Skill?"

"It's an offensive skill, similar to the Frost Moon Ice Ring Beast's ring attack. When I activate it, an ice-blue glow spreads outward from me, forming an ice ring. While dealing damage to the opponent, it can also reflect their Soul Skills and inflict a freezing effect."

Lin Zhiruo nodded.

"Bing'er, this Soul Skill is quite good. Compared with your first two group control and defensive skills, this one greatly improves your offensive power."

"Mm, thank you for finding such a suitable soul beast for me."

"Why be so polite with me? Isn't this what I should do? Here's some good news: Xue Wu has also broken through to Rank 30."

"Really?"

Shui Bing'er looked at Xue Wu in delighted surprise.

"Xue Wu, you'll soon have your own Third Soul Ring too."

"Mm."

Xiao Han looked around. It was still bright out.

"Before it gets dark, let's go find a soul beast."

"Alright."

The group of four continued onward, searching for a suitable Thousand-Year soul beast for Xue Wu.

After two days of tireless searching, the four arrived at a snowy forest.

Suddenly, a crisp, lingering cry rang out from nearby, like a note carried on the cold wind, drawing their attention.

"It's an Ice Whisper Snow Kite!"

Lin Zhiruo's keen senses immediately detected an unusual presence.

"Quick, follow me."

Lin Zhiruo flashed forward, with Xiao Han, Shui Bing'er, and Xue Wu following close behind.

As they drew nearer, the flawless white figure gradually came into view.

An Ice Whisper Snow Kite soared through the forest, beating its snow-white wings as though searching for prey.

Lin Zhiruo sensed that the Ice Whisper Snow Kite had cultivated for more than a thousand years, but less than two thousand.

It was exactly the soul beast they had come for.

"The Ice Whisper Snow Kite can control wind and snow. The one in the air has cultivated for over a thousand years, making it perfect for Xue Wu."

"Mom, let us deal with this soul beast ourselves."

"It's circling high in the air. By the time you get close, it'll probably have already flown away. Do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Zhiruo did not want to miss this suitable soul beast either, but she was more willing to give the children a chance to train.

Having them hunt the soul beast themselves could test their courage and strength while also cultivating their coordination.

Xiao Han thought for a moment, then said,

"Mom, we can outsmart it by using one of us as bait."

Xue Wu stepped forward.

"Xiao Han's idea is good. I'll be the bait."

Xiao Han exchanged a glance with Shui Bing'er and nodded.

Xue Wu, whose offensive power was the weakest, was indeed better suited to serve as bait.

"Xue Wu, be careful."

"Mm, it'll be fine. I believe in you."

After saying that, Xue Wu walked out alone.

Xiao Han, Shui Bing'er, and Lin Zhiruo carefully moved through the forest, keeping an appropriate distance from Xue Wu.

The Ice Whisper Snow Kite quickly spotted the human girl walking alone across the open snowfield.

Suddenly, it dove sharply downward.

With a beat of its enormous wings, an Ice and Snow Storm rushed toward Xue Wu at astonishing speed.

The moment the Ice Whisper Snow Kite swooped down, Xiao Han unleashed his True Ice Bow and Arrow martial soul.

"Ten Thousand Arrows Firing!"

With Xiao Han's low shout, streams of ice-blue arrows shot toward the Ice Whisper Snow Kite like a sudden downpour.

The Ice Whisper Snow Kite had an instinctive fear of bows and arrows. Faced with the sudden rain of arrows, it let out a startled cry and flapped its wings, trying to flee.

At that moment, Shui Bing'er descended from the sky and unleashed her Third Soul Skill.

An ice-blue ring of light rapidly spread outward from her center and slammed fiercely into the Ice Whisper Snow Kite.

The powerful impact knocked it into the ground, sending snow flying everywhere.

The grounded Ice Whisper Snow Kite was clearly seriously injured. Its feathers were disheveled, and its eyes revealed unwillingness and despair.

Xue Wu did not hesitate in the slightest. Her figure flashed forward, and the sharp blade in her hand gleamed coldly beneath the sunlight as she swung without mercy, delivering the decisive blow.

The blade pierced through the Ice Whisper Snow Kite's chest, ending its life.
