Unmatched Grass-Cutting

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

On the high platform of the Soul Master Academy, as Xie Yue and Hu Liena transformed into Demon Charm and charged into the crowd, massacring their way through and eliminating one student after another, even the Titled Douluo who had remained calm could not help showing slight emotion.

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were an exceptionally powerful type of ability, allowing lower-level powerhouses to join forces and unleash soul skills comparable to those of higher-level powerhouses.

The more famous combinations in the Soul Master world were the Hell White Tiger of the Star Luo Royal Family and the Zhu Family, the Gai Shi Dragon Snake of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the even rarer three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Golden Iron Triangle.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill alone would not have attracted much attention from these Titled Douluo. After all, among the current Martial Soul Fusion combinations in the Soul Master world, the strongest had only barely reached the Soul Douluo level. At most, they could barely fight them and did not pose much of a threat.

But the key was that Hu Liena and Xie Yue were only six or seven years old. Two children that young had actually performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill—something they had never imagined before. That was why they were so shocked that they even lost their composure somewhat.

However, after recovering from their shock and calming down, they no longer paid it much mind. Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not actually all that powerful, far inferior to the famous powerhouses of the same kind in the Soul Master world.

Still, their first appearance had startled the Titled Douluo and left an impression on them. At the very least, they had succeeded in making a name for themselves, and it would be easier for them to rise through the ranks in Spirit Hall.

"This mess has gone on for so long that most of the little ones have already been eliminated. The stronger ones fought fiercely and have lost their edge. These two children found a good opportunity. As long as they deal with the remaining few, their victory is assured."

"They first moved around and avoided battle while looking for an opportunity, then entered the fray in one stroke to clean up the mess. Their timing was excellent. They truly are two outstanding seedlings."

"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill seems to belong to that couple who were killed a few years ago. What a pity. These two children should be their offspring, right?"

"Barring any surprises, they will be the winners this time. It really is unexpected. We have discovered quite a few good seedlings this time."

The various powerhouses greatly admired Hu Liena and Xie Yue's actions. A strange glint also appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes, though when she heard one of her subordinates mention the brother and sister's background, her gaze became rather complicated.

The turmoil in Spirit Hall last year had occurred because she killed Qian Xunji when no one had been prepared for it. In other words, she was partly responsible for these two children becoming orphans.

On the training field, as the red mist swept outward and covered the entire area, the originally dense red light thinned, faintly revealing a figure moving rapidly at the center of the mist.

The red light flickered. Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who had originally been separate, fused into a single figure—a long-haired "person" whose gender could not be distinguished.

His hair had turned red, and two Moon Blades, enlarged to twice their former size, silently sliced outward with rainbow-like brilliance.

Demon Charm moved out. Wherever it passed, no one could stop it, like mowing down grass in an unmatched slaughter. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed jointly by the two one-ring Soul Masters, Xie Yue and Hu Liena, possessed power close to that of a three-ring Soul Elder, and within this red mist, it could weaken an enemy's combat strength by half.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Demon Charm specialized in control. Within the area of dense red light, everyone's senses would be reduced by fifty percent, their Soul Power suppressed by fifty percent, and all their movements slowed by fifty percent.

Although spreading the red light now had weakened the suppression, it still greatly reduced the enemy's combat strength. Especially against opponents weaker than themselves to begin with, it was a complete crushing match.

In this situation, even a genuine three-ring Soul Elder entering Demon Charm's red light would be absolutely suppressed.

The red light suddenly became denser, and a massive surge of energy instantly erupted. Grunts continuously came from behind the barrier of red light, while one figure after another was flung out from within.

"Hei Ze lost, Wang Lin was defeated, Zhao Yuan Yu and Yu Qing Feng are down, and Tuo Kui Si was thrown out too. Who else can stop them?"

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill appearing in a primary academy, and among first-years at that? This has to be fake."

"There are monsters like this among the first-years? Does anyone in the entire academy stand a chance against them?"

It was not only the Spirit Hall powerhouses who were sighing in amazement. The students of the Soul Master Academy cried out one after another as well. Today's match had truly been exhilarating. They had thought it would merely be a formality, never expecting such a spectacle.

Piercing shrieks rang out from within the red curtain, and figures were flung out one after another. Yet one minute after the last figure flew out, everyone thought it was all over. However, at that moment, waves of disturbance suddenly erupted at the edge of the red curtain.

"What's going on? Is someone still inside, tangling with that monster?"

"That can't be possible, right? Even the strongest several two-ring Soul Grand Masters among the sixth-years failed. How could anyone still fight them?"

"Bang! Bang!"

Some students who had been forcibly beaten out of the field still felt lingering fear and did not believe anyone could hold out inside. Yet they were quickly proven wrong. The thin red light suddenly contracted, and a figure shot out fiercely, lightly tapping the ground with his feet as he repeatedly dodged two pink crescent blades streaking toward him from behind.

"That's the first-year brat who rushed into the center earlier to show off. He's still running? This guy is way too good at dodging."

"He's slippery as hell. I exchanged less than half a move with him just now, and he vanished. Then several soul skills hit me and sent me flying out."

"His speed isn't even that fast. How can those two fail to hit him? There must be something fishy going on."

The students watched Yan dodge the attacks from behind him again and again. Each time, he seemed to foresee them and made all sorts of evasive movements, leaving them baffled and unable to accept it. However, the true powerhouses saw far more.

"This boy has incredibly strong predictive ability. There were several times when even I did not anticipate it."

"He was suspended in midair just now, yet with those bizarre movements—raising his hand and bending his leg—he happened to evade every attack. Such reactions are truly rare."

"He nearly managed to circle behind those two children and launch an attack while inside the red light. If they had not reacted quickly and withdrawn the red-light suppression, he might have succeeded in the sneak attack."

"With such battle instincts, even I am astonished. If I had been at his level of cultivation, I would not have been able to block those attacks, much less counterattack."

Although Demon Charm's red light obstructed vision, the powerhouses on the high platform were hardly ordinary. They had seen everything that had just happened clearly. The hidden struggle within the red light had even surprised them, and Yan's performance left them deeply impressed.
