Martial Soul Fusion Skill
The atmosphere immediately became tense after the young man said that.
Although Flender still had a smile on his face, his eyes were much calmer.
He looked at Tuoba Xi and asked:
"Is this also what Sect Master Tuoba means? We do not intend to hinder your sect from hunting Soul Ring, but we feel that killing pregnant Soul Beast and cutting open their wombs to take their offspring is indeed against nature and morality. We hope Sect Master Tuoba will reconsider."
"Flender, are you really going to make an enemy of my Holy Dragon Sect for a beast? Even if you're willing, are the others willing?" Tuoba Xi said calmly.
"Old man, you don't need to try to sow discord like this. I'm going to take charge of this today!" Liu Erlong said coldly.
"And who are you?" Tuoba Xi asked.
"My great-aunt's name is Liu Erlong."
Tuoba Xi frowned upon hearing this. He sized up the Grandmaster and asked:
"Are you some kind of Grandmaster?"
"That's right," the Grandmaster said.
Tuoba Xi pondered for a moment. The Golden Iron Triangle was now all gathered, but he had not yet achieved a title. If a fight broke out, things would not be easy.
Moreover, it is said that the Grandmaster has some connection with Pope Bibi Dong. Although it is unknown whether this news is true, Tuoba Xi does not want to take the risk.
What if something happens? Right?
His Holy Dragon Sect initially gained Pope Pope's Favor and was supported by him, all thanks to his loyalty. Naturally, he couldn't do anything that might displease the Pope.
At worst, Tuoba Xi can report the news to the Pope after returning and see what the Pope's attitude is before taking action.
Anyway, this Academy isn't going to run away.
Thinking of this, Tuoba Xi glanced at the Ironclad Earth Dragon still kneeling on the ground and said:
"This beast is lucky to have run into you busybodies. Since you insist on protecting it, I'll give you face and let it go. Cheng'er, let's go."
"Dad, are we just going to let it go like this?" Tuoba Cheng asked in astonishment.
Tuoba Xi gave him a stern look, and Tuoba Cheng immediately dared not say another word.
He glanced back at Flender and the others, the resentment in his eyes obvious to anyone with eyes, but no one did anything more, because no one wanted to rashly start a conflict.
Flender's side wasn't really in the right either, since not hunting pregnant Soul Beast was just a customary rule, and it was a bit unreasonable to take action based on that alone. Now that Tuoba Xi was willing to back down, that was all the better.
Tuoba Cheng memorized the faces of Flender and the others with resentment. He was not a magnanimous person, so he was already planning to cause some trouble for the Academy when he returned.
Meanwhile, some people at the Academy were doing the same thing; they had memorized the name "Holy Dragon Sect," and no one knew what would happen next.
Just as Tuoba Cheng was about to turn around and leave with his father, his gaze fell on something not far away. He was startled at first, and then quickly grabbed Tuoba Xi who was about to leave.
"Dad, look what's that?"
Tuoba Xi glanced back, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"The Illusion Demon Tree!?"
"It really is the Illusion Demon Tree! Dad, I heard that His Holiness the Pope's disciples need magical artifacts with Mental Attribute. Isn't the heartwood of this Illusion Demon Tree just that? If we can bring this heartwood back and present it to His Holiness the Pope, then..." Tuoba Cheng said excitedly.
Tuoba Xi nodded, pointed to the Illusion Demon Tree, and turned to Flender, saying:
"Is that tree the target Soul Beast? I want its heartwood."
On the Academy side, the atmosphere that had just relaxed because Tuoba Xi chose to back down immediately became tense again.
Flender opened his mouth, but seemed unsure what to say, and the others frowned as well.
Seeing that Flender and the others remained silent, Tuoba Xi's face darkened, and he said coldly:
"What? You're saying the Ironclad Earth Dragon shouldn't be killed because it was pregnant, and I spared it to save face for you? Now you're not going to protect the Illusion Demon Tree too, are you? There's no such thing as it being pregnant."
Tuoba Cheng sneered repeatedly, "Dad, maybe this Academy is making peace with the Soul Beast. Look how nervous they are."
Hearing this, Tuoba Xi's eyes also showed some doubt, and at this moment the Grandmaster spoke up:
"I'm sorry, but we also have students with Mental Attribute, so we can't give up the core of this Illusion Demon Tree."
The Grandmaster knew he couldn't be accused of colluding with Soul Beast, so he shifted the conflict to the ownership of the items. That way, the matter wouldn't be blown out of proportion, and things would be simplified.
"That's right, Sect Master Tuoba, we discovered the Illusion Demon Tree first. There's always a proper order to things, isn't there?" Flender quickly added.
Liu Erlong also realized what was happening and snorted coldly:
"If you're looking for trouble, just say so. Isn't it obvious to us that this Illusion Demon Tree belongs to us at a glance? Why are you making up all this nonsense?"
Tuoba Xi's doubts dissipated considerably. Mainly, colluding with Soul Beast had never happened before, and if he used this as an excuse, it would be somewhat laughable. Others would only think that he wanted to steal the treasure, so it was better to be more direct.
So Tuoba Xi said:
"This tree heart isn't for us; it's needed by His Holiness the Pope's disciple. Are you trying to steal it from His Holiness the Pope?"
Liu Erlong sneered, "What a huge accusation! To steal someone's things and still talk about it so confidently, even bringing up the Spirit Hall, does that mean everything Bibi Dong wants in this world belongs to her?"
"How dare you disrespect the Pope?" Tuoba Cheng roared angrily.
"I would say the same thing even if she said it to my face." Liu Erlong curled his lip.
"Dad, these people are asking for trouble, don't be polite with them!" Tuoba Cheng said.
"We really need to fight it out first," Tuoba Xi said coldly.
Since the other party disrespected the Pope, they, as the Pope's subordinates, had to make a response; otherwise, wouldn't they be disloyal to the Pope?
If word gets out, their Holy Dragon Sect will no longer have the chance to be the Pope's lackey.
Thinking of this, Soul Ring rose up beneath Tuoba Xi's feet, yellow Soul Douluo, purple, black...
Meanwhile, the other members of the Holy Dragon Sect also revealed their Soul Ring. Apart from Tuoba Cheng, who was a Soul Elder, most of the others were Soul Ancestor, and a few were Spirit King.
"So you're just a Soul Elder? I thought you were so powerful when you were so arrogant earlier." Dai Mubai sneered as he activated his Martial Soul Possession and was about to pounce on Tuoba Cheng, but someone was faster than him.
Without a word, Gu Yue Ling charged towards Tuoba Cheng and delivered a punch right to his head.
I've put up with you for so long!
"Protect me! Come and protect me!" Tuoba Cheng was so frightened when he saw a Soul Ancestor rushing towards him that he almost lost his mind.
Most importantly, the opponent even possesses a black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Just what kind of monster is this?
The younger generation had already started a chaotic battle, Flender and his group naturally wouldn't stand idly by either.
The Grandmaster took two steps to stand behind Flender and Liu Erlong, while Flender and Liu Erlong each took a step diagonally forward, and the three of them immediately formed a triangular formation.
"The Sun and Moon Radiance Golden Turn!" Flender shouted. He did not release his Martial Soul, but a strong Golden Light suddenly burst out from his body.
As the Golden Light soared into the sky, it also spread out from beneath Flender's feet.
The same scene appeared on the Grandmaster and Liu Erlong; Golden Light permeated between the three of them, forming a golden triangle with them as the apex.
Inside the triangle is a golden halo surrounded by various intricate patterns.
At the same time, Flender and Liu Erlong slowly closed their eyes, while the light in the Grandmaster's eyes brightened.
He raised his right hand, pointing to the center of the golden triangle, and roared like a dragon's cry:
"Golden Horn! Appear!"
A chubby Little Milk Dragon appeared out of thin air in the center of the golden triangle, while the three Grandmaster ' Soul Ring emerged from their bodies, a total of seventeen Soul Ring floating towards Golden Horn.
With a loud dragon roar, Golden Horn's body, which was originally like a young dragon, suddenly swelled up and gradually transformed into a Golden Sacred Dragon flying in the sky.
Gu Yue Ling, who was fiercely beating Tuoba Cheng's bodyguard, glanced back and showed a hint of surprise on her face, but she quickly brought her attention back to the battle.
On the other side, Tang Hao and the other two, including Chen Feng, saw the scene in the distance and knew that something must have happened there.
"Dad, let's go there quickly," Tang San said hurriedly.
Tang Hao looked much better than before, thanks to Tang San and Xiao Wu, whose Martial Soul Fusion Skill had finally succeeded.
This morning, Xiao Wu, after some twists and turns, successfully condensed her Fourth Soul Ring, which was the Invincible Golden Body she had long desired, and its color was black, meaning it was Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Its effect is that it grants her immunity to attacks below the god level for five seconds, and also doubles her own power.
Furthermore, for every ten levels Xiao Wu's Soul Power increases, the duration of her invincibility and amplification will be extended by one second.
The effect of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Skill is indeed extraordinary. Compared with the thousand-year Invincible Golden Body in the Original Work, the current Invincible Golden Body lasts for a full two seconds longer.
This means greater survivability and tolerance for mistakes, and also elevates Xiao Wu's damage output to a new level.
After advancing to the Soul Ancestor, Xiao Wu couldn't wait to try Martial Soul Fusion with Tang San again.
This time, their Martial Soul phantoms finally merged successfully, and the phenomenon after the fusion made everyone present feel both amused and bewildered.
When the two phantom images of the Soft Bone Rabbit and the Blue Silver Emperor came into contact, the Soft Bone Rabbit phantom made an unexpected move: it stuffed the Blue Silver Emperor phantom directly into its mouth.
Chen Feng, who witnessed this scene, was only shocked, while Tang Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"So it really is a case of rabbits eating grass."
But what happened next proved that the rabbit didn't eat the grass; it simply chewed up the Blue Silver Emperor's phantom with its mouth, and then made no further move.
"No, what does this mean?" Xiao Wu looked at the motionless illusory image of the Soft Bone Rabbit and felt uneasy.
She never expected that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill she had been looking forward to for so long would have such a bizarre process—it actually devoured Tang San's Martial Soul!
"Shouldn't we need a target?" Chen Feng observed the situation of the Soft Bone Rabbit phantom and thought of a reasonable possibility.
Xiao Wu looked at the mountain not far away, thinking of releasing her Martial Soul Fusion Skill in that direction, but the Soft Bone Rabbit phantom did not react at all.
Seeing this, Chen Feng frowned and said:
"Try a live one."
"Should we release it on the herbs here? That doesn't seem right," Xiao Wu said hesitantly.
"Release me," Tang Hao said at this moment.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was still hesitating, Tang Hao urged her:
"Don't worry, your two kids' Martial Soul Fusion Skill can't hurt me. Come on."
Xiao Wu thought about it and realized that Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo, after all. Her and Tang San's Martial Soul Fusion Skill couldn't possibly have the power to harm a Title Douluo.
So she focused her attention on Tang Hao, and at that moment the illusory image of the Soft Bone Rabbit also made a move.
It opened its mouth and gently spat out a stream of green energy towards Tang Hao. The green energy entered Tang Hao's body, causing his entire body to tremble.
Tang San and Xiao Wu's bodies went limp, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.
"Uncle Hao, are you alright?" Chen Feng asked, looking at Tang Hao's complicated expression.
"It's nothing, no, I'm perfectly fine," Tang Hao said, taking a deep breath.
What do you mean?
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Xiao San and Xiao Wu's martial souls has a healing effect on the hidden injuries in my body." Tang Hao stepped forward to help Tang San and Xiao Wu up, and then explained:
"In my battle against the Spirit Hall, although I repelled them, I was left with severe old injuries, which have now been partially healed."
Because of his strong recovery ability, Tang San gradually recovered from his exhaustion. He supported Xiao Wu and said:
"Xiao Feng previously speculated on the effects of our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, thinking it might be related to recovery or growth. Now it seems Xiao Feng was right. But Dad, are your old injuries serious? Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"There's no point in saying anything, and it won't cause any immediate problems. Besides, don't you now have the ability to heal me?" Tang Hao said.
"Then, Dad, Xiao Wu and I will stay here until you're healed," Tang San said without hesitation.
"No, that would interfere with your cultivation. You should go back to the Academy and only come here once a month," Tang Hao said, shaking his head slightly.
"But."
"It's settled then. My injury isn't a big deal right now; coming for treatment once a month is enough," Tang Hao said calmly.
He had originally planned to use some extreme methods to treat his injuries, such as forcing the stagnant blood in his body into his right arm and left leg, and then severing those two parts.
In this way, he can both retrieve his Soul Bone and alleviate his injuries to prolong his life, but he will definitely lose all his strength.
However, for Tang Hao, the choice between strength and the opportunity to spend a long time with his wife and children was not even a question.
Fortunately, there is now hope for his injuries to heal, so there is no need for him to harm himself.
