Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hell White Tiger

"Ahem, back to the point!" Dai Weisi coughed. "The Star Luo Empire's rules for choosing successors have long been ingrained in the minds of the ministers and nobles.

"If we want to change them completely, the difficulty would likely be no less than annexing the Heaven Dou Empire under Spirit Hall's interference. That's why we must cultivate even harder from now on!"

Zhu Zhuyun was greatly shocked upon hearing this. "Weisi, could it be that you want to annex the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Dai Weisi did not answer. He took a calm sip of red tea before speaking again.

"In an age of great conflict, the strong grow stronger, while the weak perish! In the end, it is always the common people who suffer. Only by unifying the Douluo Continent is it possible to bring about true peace."

"For years, war between the two great empires has never ceased, and their conflicts have long since intensified. Although Spirit Hall has intervened and stopped the war for now..."

"Spirit Hall is also wildly ambitious. While I agree with some of their ideals, I am the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire. They will only see me as an enemy, so how could I sit still and await death?"

"Spirit Hall has countless experts. In recent years, they have been constantly recruiting Soul Masters from both empires into Spirit Hall. A great war will inevitably break out in the future! If we can annex the Heaven Dou Empire, perhaps we will be able to contend with Spirit Hall. At the very least, we must make Spirit Hall hesitate to move against us."

"Mm..."

Zhu Zhuyun nodded as if she understood. She had no interest in politics as a girl; she only knew that Dai Weisi was doing something that could shake the entire Douluo Continent!

Looking at Dai Weisi, brimming with ambition, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly realized that he seemed even more handsome now.

"Weisi, I know you're destined to accomplish great things. I'll listen to you in everything. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it, and I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

Dai Weisi gave a mischievous grin. "Hehe, that's my good wife!"

"Get lost! I'm talking seriously here, not joking with you!"

"Haha, of course I know. Zhuyun, you need to cultivate even harder from now on. And our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is one of our trump cards—we must practice it more."

"Speaking of Martial Soul Fusion Skills, we haven't practiced ours in a long time. Weisi, why don't we go out and practice now? It'll also help deepen our familiarity with it."

"Mm, sounds good!" Dai Weisi nodded slightly. The last time they had practiced their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been last month, back when he had not yet transmigrated.

Dai Weisi stepped outside and called softly, "Uncle Li."

A white-bearded old man walked up to Dai Weisi, bowed respectfully, and said, "First Prince, please give your orders!"

The old man was named Li Hu. He was Dai Weisi's bodyguard and steward. Though his name was exceedingly ordinary, his strength was anything but.

Li Hu's Martial Soul was also a large tiger. Though it could not compare to Dai Weisi's Evil Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul, it was still a powerful Beast Soul!

Li Hu was only fifty-five years old, yet he was already a level seventy-six Power Attack System Soul Saint, a notable powerhouse throughout the Soul Master world.

"Prepare the carriage. Take us to Star Luo Imperial Academy."

"At once, First Prince."

Li Hu promptly brought over a carriage, then took Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun toward Star Luo Imperial Academy outside Star Luo City.

Star Luo Imperial Academy stood atop a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. Dense forests lay on both sides of the peak, and as far as the eye could see, there was even a sea of trees.

Countless powerful Soul Beasts were raised within the forest, including Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Not only that, the academy's dean of studies would periodically capture large numbers of powerful Soul Beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest and release them into the forest.

The purpose was to use those Soul Beasts to temper the practical combat abilities of both students and teachers. Building the academy high in the mountains was also meant to cultivate the students' physical strength and willpower.

The Star Luo Empire was a place where strength reigned supreme. It tested not only the students' strength, but the teachers' as well.

Unlike the group of spoiled young masters at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Imperial Academy truly valued talent above all else. Every student who could study there was exceptionally gifted.

How could teachers instruct such a group of genius students without some real ability?

"Uncle Li, stop in the forest. We want to spar with the Soul Beasts there."

"Yes."

Li Hu was not worried about their safety. Though Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could be found in the forest, none exceeded twenty thousand years. Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun could handle them with their strength.

Soon, the carriage came to a stop deep in the forest. An enraged bear roar suddenly rang out, frightening the two horses out of their wits. No matter how Li Hu whipped them, they did not dare move forward another inch.

ROAR! ROAR!

All of a sudden, a tall and imposing brown bear appeared before the carriage and roared madly at it. Its terrifying roar frightened the two fine horses unconscious.

The brown bear was massive and imposing, over three meters tall. Its entire body was packed with muscles, and its sharp bear claws seemed to possess the overwhelming strength to tear everything apart!

The moment Li Hu saw the brown bear, his expression changed. "This thing is... a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"

"What? A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?!"

Dai Weisi's eyes lit up at once. He hurriedly rushed out of the carriage and indeed saw the three-meter-tall brown bear.

"It really is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. I didn't expect to encounter such a top-tier Soul Beast here. This trip was truly worthwhile!"

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears possessed the bloodline of Behemoths. Their attack and defense were the strongest among those of the same level. A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with merely ten thousand years of cultivation could rival a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in strength!

It was said that the strongest Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears even possessed the terrifying power to tear giant dragons apart with their bare claws!

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already cultivated for over two thousand years, but its strength was likely no weaker than that of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"I never thought there would be a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear near Star Luo Imperial Academy. The academy teachers must have captured it from the Star Dou Great Forest. After all, it has only cultivated for a little over two thousand years.

"It may have been captured when it was still very young."

No matter where this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had come from, Dai Weisi would not let it go. If he could kill it, perhaps it would drop a Soul Bone!

"This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is rather interesting. Zhuyun, are you afraid?"

Zhu Zhuyun smiled radiantly. "It's only a Soul Beast with a little over two thousand years of cultivation. What is there to fear?"

"Then let's go together. Use the Hell White Tiger! White Tiger Avatar!"

A tiger's roar rang out as Dai Weisi instantly completed his Martial Soul Possession, tiger-like traits appearing across his body.

"Hell Spirit Cat Possession!"

At the same time, Zhu Zhuyun also completed her Martial Soul Possession. Cute cat ears grew atop her head, sharp cat claws emerged from her fair arms, and the purple cat tail behind her swayed back and forth adorably. She looked just like a little cat girl.

"Zhuyun, use the Hell White Tiger!"

"Alright!"

Dai Weisi wrapped an arm around Zhu Zhuyun's slender waist and gazed deeply into her eyes.

In an instant, a dazzling purple light enveloped them both. When the purple light faded, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun had vanished. In their place stood a dark-purple Hell White Tiger, even larger than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

ROAR!!!

The Hell White Tiger threw back its head and roared, its tiger's cry shaking the eight directions!
