Self Spirit Fusion Skill: Evil Ring Devouring Heaven Ant!

"To kill the Nuoding City Lord, I needed a proper plan!"

Tang Jiu was not foolish enough to charge in openly with a hammer in hand. He first had to figure out the other side's strength.

A level 42 Soul Ancestor was not some Soul Elder in their thirties.

"The most important reason I could defeat Soul Elders was my Spirit Ring Spirit. It restricted one of their spirit rings, which meant their Soul Power was only a little higher than mine, while their spirit skills were the same as mine. No, not the same!"

"I have two thousand-year spirit skills and one thousand-year spirit bone skill, while they only have two hundred-year spirit skills. That is the real reason I can crush them!"

After thinking it over, Tang Jiu realized that the reason he could utterly overpower his opponents was entirely due to his talent.

The Spirit Ring Spirit was simply too powerful!

But if his opponent was level 42 and possessed four spirit skills, even if he restricted one, they would still have three left. If he could not end the battle within two minutes, he would be waiting to be killed instead!

And if Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team was still there, he would basically be walking into certain death!

Tang Jiu gnawed on some dried pork, then turned around and secretly returned to Nuoding City. He slipped into Nuoding Academy, found Master, and told him everything that had happened.

"You want to kill the city lord? That's far too dangerous!" Master's expression changed. He also felt that the city lord deserved to die, but he did not want Tang Jiu to take such a risk.

"I have to kill him. Otherwise, I won't be able to show my face on the continent again!"

Tang Jiu did not want to be like Tang Hao, unable to live in the light, forced to wrap his face up tightly whenever he went out. There were so many cute girls here waiting for him to save!

His wonderful life had only just begun. He did not want to live in some dark corner.

Master saw the determination in Tang Jiu's eyes and gave a bitter smile. "It seems you came to ask me about Martial Soul Fusion Skills."

"Yes, Teacher! With the Spirit Ring Spirit, I can use Soul Power more than ten levels above mine to crush my opponents. With a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I should become even stronger, right?" Tang Jiu's eyes were filled with anticipation. Master had previously said he would explain this knowledge after Tang Jiu gained spirit rings. Now, the time was right!

Master's expression grew solemn, and his gaze became even more fervent than Tang Jiu's. He let out a deep breath and said, "The fusion of your own two martial souls is different from other Martial Soul Fusion Skills. To distinguish it, I have given it a name: Self Spirit Fusion Skill!"

Tang Jiu's eyes lit up. It really was fitting!

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill involves martial souls with identical or complementary attributes merging into an entirely new martial soul. It can involve two martial souls or even more! Flender, another person, and I were known as the Golden Iron Triangle because our three martial souls fused together to form a new martial soul: the Golden Sacred Dragon!"

As Master spoke, a deep pain appeared on his face. Then he continued.

"When martial souls fuse, one must serve as the primary martial soul, while the others make up for its deficiencies, add to it, or merge with it to enhance its power. Between your two martial souls, your primary martial soul should be the Bullet Ant Spirit!"

Tang Jiu found that reasonable. Though he knew the plot, he had never encountered such detailed theory. He immediately asked, "Teacher, then how do I make the martial souls fuse?"

Master said, "The fusion process is actually one of mutual attraction and transformation between martial souls. During the fusion, you only need to imagine the Bullet Ant absorbing the Spirit Ring Spirit."

"However, it is not only the martial souls that fuse, but also the spirit rings and Soul Power. The burden on the body is enormous! If anything goes wrong, you could explode and die! After all, you alone are bearing the enhancement brought by two martial souls and two spirit skills!"

Master's tone was grave. This was extremely dangerous. Back when they had attempted martial soul fusion, it had not been easy either. They had only succeeded after many attempts. Tang Jiu's Self Spirit Fusion Skill was even more dangerous!

"Teacher, I think my current physical condition can completely withstand it!"

Tang Jiu immediately summoned his martial souls. The Bullet Ant Spirit possessed his body, while he held the Spirit Ring Spirit in his hand.

This time, rather than placing the Spirit Ring Spirit over his body, he directly stuffed it into his mouth.

When it came to fusion, Tang Jiu felt that nothing could be more thorough than swallowing it.

Master's mouth twitched. What he had meant was for the Bullet Ant to slowly absorb the Spirit Ring Spirit, not to devour it so violently. It was too savage and far too dangerous. Either the fusion would succeed, or Tang Jiu would explode and die. There was no room for retreat.

But Tang Jiu had already swallowed it, so Master said nothing more. He merely watched the changes in Tang Jiu's martial soul nervously.

After Tang Jiu swallowed the Spirit Ring Spirit, the Bullet Ant Spirit suddenly began to swell. At the same time, Tang Jiu's face twisted as though he were enduring tremendous pain.

The Bullet Ant's mandibles became thicker, its body more slender, and its legs twice as thick as before. The ant legs even resembled spider legs somewhat, sharp as spears and gleaming with a cold light.

After the Bullet Ant's transformation was complete, a pair of cicada-wing-like wings extended from its back. Tang Jiu was not surprised by this. His Bullet Ant was male, and male ants having wings was nothing unusual. However, this meant he now possessed the ability to fly, and his speed had also increased greatly.

After the wings appeared, a blood-red mark emerged on the Bullet Ant's forehead: three rotating commas. Tang Jiu found it extremely familiar, yet he could not recall what it was. He only felt that he had seen it somewhere before.

Once everything was over, a spirit ring rose up. Its purple color was deeper than any of the previous rings, yet white and yellow points of light shimmered across it, making the spirit ring look exceptionally brilliant.

"A Three-Colored Spirit Ring!" Master murmured, as if he had discovered a new continent. A thought could not help surfacing in his heart. As Tang Jiu's strength increased, could this spirit ring eventually evolve into five colors, or even seven?

And those three blood-red comma marks also seemed far from simple.

Only then did Tang Jiu feel the pain throughout his body vanish. He was soaked through, but his eyes shone with incomparable excitement. He felt unbelievably powerful at this moment!

His strength had not increased much, but his speed had soared considerably. Clearly, during the martial soul fusion process, the White Feather Wind Swallow's spirit ring had completely empowered the Bullet Ant Spirit!

"Little Jiu, what is your Self Spirit Fusion Skill called?" Seeing Tang Jiu complete his martial soul fusion so easily and without incident on his very first attempt, Master immediately asked.

"Teacher, my Self Spirit Fusion Skill is called: Evil Ring Devouring Heaven Ant!"

Tang Jiu had not chosen this name himself. The moment the martial soul fusion was complete, it had automatically appeared in his mind.

The moment Master heard the name, he felt a chilling coldness.

Evil represented wickedness, while devouring represented consumption. In other words, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill might develop in those two special directions and possess special abilities.

Master could not guess what those abilities were, but there was no doubt about the power of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

"Little Jiu, now that you have completed your Self Spirit Fusion Skill, I must remind you of this skill's drawback."

Seeing Tang Jiu already lost in wild fantasies, Master's mouth twitched. He immediately warned him sternly.
