They All Want It

They All Want It

"Come." Master Ratio was succinct.

Yu Luomian quickly ran onto the stage. His expression was grave as he nodded to Master Ratio, then immediately turned to Xie Yue. As he sensed the latter's aura, his pupils contracted.

"With my abilities, it's difficult for me to discern his current state. If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have thought he was merely an ordinary person."

Yu Luomian voiced his first impression.

Anyone below the rank of Titled Douluo would find it difficult to gauge Xie Yue's level!

The next second, Yu Luomian let out a Dragon's Roar. Dragon Might spread out as his right arm shone blue. The sound of fabric tearing came from within it, and when the light faded, a thick arm covered in Dragon Scales appeared.

"Xie Yue, is it? Attack me and let me experience your current strength."

As Yu Luomian spoke, seven soul rings appeared around his arm.

"Excuse me!" Xie Yue called out.

In the next instant, Xie Yue charged at Yu Luomian. He was incredibly fast, arriving before him almost in the blink of an eye.

Clang...!!! Yu Luomian raised his arm to block.

The arm covered in Dragon Scales was tougher than many divine weapons.

The instant it collided with the Moon Blade, sparks flew.

Yu Luomian raised his brows. "With Soul Power infused into the Moon Blade, its strength is indeed greater than the enhancement of an ordinary Soul Master! Not bad. You've already reached the power of a strong attack-type Spirit King!"

As Yu Luomian spoke, the Moon Blade suddenly lit up.

Another Moon Blade gleaming with cold light abruptly split into two. They flew into the air and attacked Yu Luomian together from another direction.

He was hard-pressed on both sides. Fighting with only one arm, he could no longer handle them easily and had no choice but to retreat.

Both Moon Blades were extraordinarily fast, and while Xie Yue attacked, there was no way to predict his next move from the flow of his Soul Power.

That awkward sensation left Yu Luomian unable to voice his grievances.

He could have used a Soul Skill or transformed his other arm into a dragon arm, which would have made subduing Xie Yue easy.

But the problem was that he still wanted to maintain his dignity!

Yu Luomian kept raising his arm to block while trying to seize the Moon Blades, yet Xie Yue effortlessly evaded him every time.

"Kid, your Three Elements Fusion Skill truly is impressive..."

Yu Luomian hinted.

Xie Yue did not understand at all and continued attacking. There was not the slightest warning of Soul Power when the Moon Blades moved; relying on surprise alone, he began trading blows with Yu Luomian.

"..." Yu Luomian's face darkened.

The fourth soul ring on his hand suddenly lit up. Electric arcs immediately wrapped around his dragon arm, unleashing a burst of force.

The moment Xie Yue's Moon Blade struck the dragon arm, it was sent flying back several steps.

Before he could attack again, Yu Luomian grabbed the other Moon Blade in midair and hurriedly said, "That's enough! After this test, I can testify for Master Ratio just how marvelous the Three Elements Fusion Skill truly is!"

Yu Luomian flung away the Moon Blade, cleared his throat, and secretly fumed at Xie Yue for being so tactless.

He withdrew his martial soul and soul rings, then looked at Master Ratio. Every trace of negative emotion in his eyes immediately vanished. It was as though his prior doubts and resentment toward Master Ratio had never existed.

All that remained on his face was reverence and fervor for the master theorist.

Having experienced it personally, he understood even more clearly how precious the Three Elements Fusion Skill was!

After several seconds of silence.

"Master Ratio, the Three Elements Fusion Skill is truly a divine skill for Soul Masters. It can multiply our combat power severalfold. For the development of the Soul Master Realm, please reveal this divine skill to the public."

After saying that, Yu Luomian gave Master Ratio a deep bow.

Yu Luomian's sudden action also roused the spectators who had been watching the excitement.

Having just witnessed Xie Yue's demonstration and received Yu Luomian's personal endorsement, they were all certain that the Three Elements Fusion Skill was an epoch-making divine skill!

They had to find a way to obtain it!

Countless gazes burned with fervor as they began shouting in unison.

"Master Ratio, please show mercy! For the development of the Soul Master Realm, please reveal the Three Elements Fusion Skill!"

"Reveal the Three Elements Fusion Skill!"

"Spirit Hall represents Soul Masters, and Master Ratio is the most respected scholar in history! As the foremost person of this era, please reveal the Three Elements Fusion Skill!"

"..."

Wave after wave of voices crashed toward the high platform.

Yu Luomian seemed to have flipped a switch. Almost everyone now expected Master Ratio to reveal the Three Elements Fusion Skill.

A million people could drown someone in spit!

Everyone was now waiting with fervent anticipation, hoping Master Ratio would reveal the Three Elements Fusion Skill.

Yet Master Ratio remained utterly calm. Or rather, he had no intention of acknowledging their expectations at all.

"Hey, at least say something. You can't just let things keep escalating, can you?" Spirit Kite Douluo reminded him gently. By now, she recognized that Master Ratio's reputation was well deserved, and her opinion of him had improved.

Those with real ability could afford to be a little arrogant!

Master Ratio merely glanced at Spirit Kite Douluo without saying a word.

"???" The corner of Spirit Kite Douluo's mouth twitched, and a flash of anger appeared on her delicate face.

What was that supposed to mean? She had taken the initiative to show goodwill, yet he had ignored her?

Master Ratio walked over to Xie Yue and asked, "You're still forcing yourself to endure it? Foolish."

Xie Yue's face had remained flushed all along, and everyone else assumed it was from excitement.

Upon hearing Master Ratio's words, Xie Yue immediately lowered his head, shame appearing on his face.

"Dr. Ratio, I wanted to activate the Three Elements Fusion Skill sooner, so... so..." Xie Yue stammered. Though he could not see Dr. Ratio's stern expression, he still felt anxious and ashamed.

He had not actually found a Three Elements Fusion Skill perfectly suited to himself. One of his main meridians was still lacking.

But in order to prove it to Dr. Ratio sooner, he had simply forced it through, allowing a stream of Soul Power to damage the main meridians within his body. He had actually suffered internal injuries already.

He had thought he could hide it from Dr. Ratio, but he had never expected to be found out anyway.

"Unbelievably foolish," Master Ratio said coldly.

Xie Yue became even more ashamed, his chin nearly pressing into his chest.

Master Ratio said, "Spit it out. Don't hold it in."

"..." Xie Yue's cheeks puffed up, and the next second, he vomited a large mouthful of blood!

His complexion swiftly changed from flushed red to paper white.

It was as though all the vitality in his body had been drained away.

At this moment, the noisy crowd below gradually quieted upon seeing this.

After all, Master Ratio was ignoring them completely. No matter how passionately they shouted, it was like winking at a blind man!

Watching the events unfold onstage, curiosity appeared on their faces.

Yet a force was still brewing in their hearts. Having witnessed the Three Elements Fusion Skill, none of them could remain indifferent. They were determined to "take" it here and now.

It was human nature, a shared choice that required no discussion.

Master Ratio took in the entire venue. He knew he stood at the center of the storm, but he did not care.

He looked at Xie Yue. Because he had damaged the main meridians inside his body, his Soul Power was now impaired. If he did not recuperate properly, it might even affect his future cultivation.
