Skywater Academy.
Dean's Office.
"Bing'er, are you saying that his Martial Soul may have mutated, and that there may even be a possibility of Martial Soul Fusion between the two of you? Don't lie to your aunt." The Tianshui Academy Dean could not help asking.
The Tianshui Academy Dean was a stunningly beautiful married woman of around thirty. She wore a plain light-blue long dress and sat upright in a high-backed chair. Her skin was fair and lustrous, her hair gathered into a bun with a phoenix hairpin, and she wore slender oval-framed glasses. Her eyes were clear and bright, and she carried herself with noble elegance and lingering charm.
She was also utterly shocked by this news.
Bing'er possessed a Top-Tier Beast Martial Soul Ice Phoenix and could even join forces with Xue Wu to unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Now, another boy had appeared who might be able to undergo Martial Soul Fusion with her. This—
"I didn't notice it when I first met him, but when I saw him again, my Martial Soul resonated intensely. As for whether we can perform Martial Soul Fusion, I can't be certain either." Shui Bing'er shook her head slightly.
"Take me to see him at once. If he truly can produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with you, we must keep him here no matter what." The Tianshui Academy Dean rose excitedly.
If one person could simultaneously form Martial Soul Fusion Skills with two people, the prospect was simply too beautiful to imagine.
If it could truly be confirmed, it would hold tremendous value for research into Martial Soul Fusion.
More than that, it could very well affect the revival of their family.
Skywater Academy, Reception Hall.
The doors were pushed open from outside, and a sliver of sunlight gradually spread inward.
Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, looked up and saw a woman in a light-blue dress walking in with graceful steps. Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu followed behind her on either side.
The Blue Skirt Woman bore a seventy percent resemblance to Shui Bing'er. She was gentle and reserved, with an elegant and refined temperament.
Sure enough, were these so-called Element Academies all businesses run by major Soul Master Families behind the scenes?
Huo Yuhao rose from the sofa.
"Hello, I am Shui Qingyue, the dean of this academy. It is a pleasure to meet you." The woman in the blue skirt approached with a gentle smile.
"Huo Yuhao. Greetings, Dean Shui." Huo Yuhao replied with a mild smile. Zi Ling stood beside him, currently studying the extraordinary human woman before her.
"No need for formalities. Please, sit." The Tianshui Academy Dean raised a hand in invitation as she took a seat on the sofa opposite Huo Yuhao.
A gentle smile rested on her face. Beneath her glasses, her eyes resembled autumn waters, shimmering with soft ripples as they watched Huo Yuhao across from her.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu chose seats on a nearby sofa.
Huo Yuhao showed no sign of timidity and looked at her with a smile.
A descendant of some great family?
A thought flashed through Shui Qingyue's mind.
Both Huo Yuhao and the little girl beside him possessed extraordinary bearing and did not seem to have been born commoners.
She searched through her memories, yet could not recall any Soul Master Sect or family surnamed Huo. The Spiritual Eye Martial Soul was not commonly seen either.
After some brief pleasantries, Shui Qingyue chose to get straight to the point.
"Here is the situation. When Bing'er encountered you, her Martial Soul unexpectedly resonated. According to the Soul Master theory research published by Spirit Hall, your Martial Souls may share certain similarities. There is even a chance that you can undergo Martial Soul Fusion and unleash a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Would you be willing to try?" Shui Qingyue explained.
"Martial Soul Resonance?" Huo Yuhao feigned surprise and looked up at Shui Bing'er beside him.
Shui Bing'er nodded.
"Then how should we test it?" Huo Yuhao turned to Shui Qingyue.
"The two of you simply need to reveal your Martial Souls and soul rings, then make physical contact. The result will naturally become clear," Shui Qingyue explained.
"Mm." Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.
"I'll go first."
Shui Bing'er rose from the sofa and immediately summoned her Martial Soul.
Along with a heavy, icy mist and chilling aura, an Ice Phoenix instantly condensed behind her and spread its wings with a flourish.
At the same time, three soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple—appeared beneath her feet, gleaming with brilliant light.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Martial Soul displayed behind her, surprise appearing on his face.
A phoenix?
She actually possessed the Top-Tier Beast Martial Soul Ice Phoenix? It was of the same grade as Xiao Tao Jie's Fire Phoenix, but their attributes were exact opposites.
"Martial Soul: Ice Phoenix. Rank thirty-eight control-type Battle Soul Grandmaster," Shui Bing'er introduced herself.
Fifteen years old and already rank thirty-eight?
Huo Yuhao was somewhat startled inwardly.
In this day and age, reaching such a level of soul power at her age was enough to prove just how outstanding her talent was.
She possessed a Top-Tier Beast Martial Soul.
Her Innate Soul Power had to be at least rank nine or above—perhaps she even possessed Innate Full Soul Power!
Everyone's gazes immediately fell upon Huo Yuhao.
Zi Ling also looked at him with a somewhat teasing expression.
She knew how terrifying Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring configuration was, and she wanted to see what he would do.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his Spiritual Eye Martial Soul, fine Purple-Gold Patterns bursting from his pupils.
Milky-white aura gathered behind him, forming a hazy vertical-eye pattern. Yellow, purple, and purple Soul Rings immediately emerged beneath his feet, their lights flashing in alternation.
"Martial Soul—Spiritual Eye. Level thirty-three control-system Battle Soul Grandmaster," Huo Yuhao said calmly.
The moment his Soul Ring configuration appeared, Shui Qingyue's pupils abruptly contracted.
His Second Soul Ring—a thousand-year purple one!
She could hardly believe it, even rubbing her eyes and looking again.
Yet the answer remained the same.
Three Rings, two of them thousand-year purple Rings.
This—
Xue Wu was dumbfounded as well.
One, two, three.
Yellow, purple, purple.
One was missing.
"Y-Your First Soul Ring, where did it go?" Xue Wu asked in shock.
Shui Bing'er was equally stunned.
Why was his Soul Ring configuration so strange?
As Huo Yuhao revealed his Martial Soul, the Ice Phoenix behind Shui Bing'er let out a resounding cry.
At that moment, her Martial Soul seemed to come alive, spreading its Ice Wings and radiating intense Soul Power fluctuations.
The Spiritual Eye Martial Soul behind Huo Yuhao emitted powerful Spiritual Power fluctuations, sending faint ripples through the air.
Could they really undergo Martial Soul fusion?
Shui Bing'er lightly bit her lower lip and raised her hand, trying to take Huo Yuhao's hand.
At that moment, their Soul Powers actually began to merge.
Shui Bing'er immediately felt a tide of Soul Power, even more abundant than her own, flow into her.
Their bodies gave off dazzling halos. Their Martial Souls melded together, and their figures vanished into thin air.
A terrifying icy current transformed into a blizzard that tore through the roof, exposing the azure sky.
Shui Qingyue immediately summoned her Ice Sky Sparrow Martial Soul. Seven Soul Rings appeared beneath her feet as she shielded Xue Wu and Zi Ling.
As the dazzling light faded, an enormous Frost Phoenix emerged in midair in its true form. Purple-Gold Patterns flowed through its phoenix eyes, radiating frightening Spiritual Power fluctuations.
Blank Land.
Huo Yuhao's body was shrouded within it. Through the Frost Phoenix's perspective, he saw the shocked crowd outside.
He tried using his thoughts to control it, and the Frost Phoenix's massive body moved as he wished, immediately beating its wings and soaring into the sky.
So that was how it worked.
His Formless Blank Martial Soul had filled in the Ice Phoenix's shortcomings, while the Spiritual Eye used its powerful Spiritual Power to control the whole.
So my role was basically a Martial Soul amplifier? Blank Martial Souls could be used like this too?!
He looked up toward a distant corner.
Shui Bing'er's body was enveloped in pure holy light. Curled up and floating within the empty space, she seemed to have fallen asleep.
