Hundred Percent Fusion and External Soul Bone, Xuanming Sect, Bright Dragon Family

"Grand Uncle-Master, we've discussed it. Please preside over an Equal Contract for us."

At the Spirit Pagoda, Feng Zaixing emerged from Han Tianyi's Spiritual World and asked him to complete the contract.

"An Equal Contract? Zaixing, you really did come to the right person. No one else could preside over it for you."

Han Tianyi said with a smile. Ever since the Spirit Pagoda developed a method to forcibly establish Master-Servant Contracts, Equal Contracts had nearly been lost. Only a very small number of people still studied them, and he was one of them.

Mu Ye wiped his nose and deliberately said, "Equal Contracts were phased out long ago. I hope this tiger is worth it."

"Ao Wu~" The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger roared at Mu Ye, expressing its displeasure.

Han Tianyi smiled faintly and activated the Contract Array. With the depth of his Spiritual Power attainments, the entire process proceeded without the slightest ripple.

Within the Contract Array, the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger let out a long howl. Its powerful, majestic body rapidly broke apart, streams of shimmering light flowing toward Feng Zaixing like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The only part that did not break apart was its pair of snow-white wings, wreathed in the purest Sacred Soul Power.

A moment later, a bright, dazzling deep-yellow Soul Ring formed and rose beneath Feng Zaixing's feet. It was two or three times larger than an ordinary hundred-year Soul Ring, suffused with golden light, its surface engraved with the unique Sacred Tiger King Light Pattern.

Upon obtaining the Soul Ring, Feng Zaixing's half-year of accumulated power and the energy from his fusion with the Soul Spirit erupted together. His Soul Power soared directly to level fifteen!

"Ao Wu~"

The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger's body, now a size larger, leaped out of the Soul Ring. Its tiger's roar was forceful, and the pair of wings that had not dissipated suddenly turned into streaks of light and shot out, enveloping Feng Zaixing.

"Kid, this king has given you everything it can. Remember to let this king out for some fresh air often in the future."

The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger's mental waves transmitted into Feng Zaixing's mind.

"Don't worry. I definitely won't disappoint you."

Feng Zaixing replied, unable to suppress his smile. He knew what the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger was about to give him.

Feng Zaixing knew, and Han Tianyi, who was presiding over the contract, knew as well. Light and shadow shifted in the old man's eyes as he softly sighed.

"A Hundred Percent Fusion Equal Contract... in a sense, does this count as the Spirit Pagoda's founding purpose reappearing?"

Mu Ye was utterly confused. Rarely showing humility, he asked, "Junior Martial Uncle, what's going on?"

He did not ask why Han Tianyi had not stopped the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger. That was the most basic trust.

Han Tianyi leisurely replied, "As you know, Spirit Ice Douluo's original intention in founding the Spirit Pagoda was to improve the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts. Back then, there were no Master-Servant Contracts, only Equal Contracts."

"What is happening to Zaixing now is an extremely rare occurrence among Equal Contracts: Hundred Percent Fusion between a Soul Master and Soul Spirit. The last Hundred Percent Fusion dates back several thousand years."

"The legendary Hundred Percent Fusion?"

After pondering briefly, Mu Ye asked, "It is said that after Hundred Percent Fusion, the Soul Master and Soul Spirit become completely compatible, bringing unimaginable benefits. For example, the Soul Master's Martial Soul might evolve, the Soul Spirit might learn the Soul Master's existing Soul Skills to assist in battle, or it might even grant the Soul Master a Soul Bone?"

"That's right. What Zaixing is receiving now is the third benefit: a Soul Bone. And it is an External Soul Bone, the best kind among all Soul Bones."

Han Tianyi gazed at Feng Zaixing, who was deeply fusing with the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger, and smiled with undisguised envy.

"The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger, as its name suggests, is strongest in its wings. They can not only store an enormous amount of sacred energy, but also activate incredibly powerful Soul Skills. Its speed is Unrivaled."

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possesses six major attributes: evil, wind, lightning, strength, time, and space, each exceptional. The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger changed from ultimate evil to ultimate sacredness, while its lightning attribute became a fire attribute. It is practically Zaixing's perfect match."

"Zaixing is truly clever to make this tiger willing."

Given Han Tianyi's cultivation, few things could move him. Fierce Beast-level Soul Bones were one such thing, and the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger's External Soul Bone undoubtedly possessed that potential.

Mu Ye swallowed, his expression growing increasingly solemn. "This is bad, really bad. Now I truly can't protect him anymore. In a few years, I'll have to arrange for him to go to Ming Capital."

A future invincible Martial Soul combined with a future invincible Soul Bone—once exposed, the Holy Spirit Cult would send several Super Douluos to kill Feng Zaixing at all costs. Otherwise, thirty years later would be the day their entire cult ascended.

Call for help. They had to call for help! The orthodox Soul Masters of the entire continent had to unite and protect tomorrow's star!

"You good-for-nothing brat, if you had focused on cultivating your Martial Soul, you'd be at least a Quasi-God by now, if not at the peak of Demi-God. Why would you need to worry about this nonsense?"

Han Tianyi's anger flared the moment he heard that, and he harshly scolded Mu Ye for being addicted to mecha.

Mu Ye lowered his head and obediently took the scolding. Han Tianyi was not wrong to berate him.

"Ring ring ring~"

At that moment, Han Tianyi's Soul Tool Communicator rang.

Han Tianyi answered it. Very quickly, his brows shot up, and he instructed, "Lead them to a private room to rest for now. I still have important guests to receive here... alright, that's it."

Mu Ye asked, "Has the Xuanming Sect we arranged for arrived?"

This time, he had invited an expert from the Young Genius Ranking to accompany Feng Zaixing into the Spirit Ascension Platform. That person came from the ancient Xuanming Sect.

This sect produced Profound Water Pills, which could increase Innate Soul Power, as well as the Black Tortoise Divine Pill, a supreme medicine for healing wounds. Its inherited Martial Soul, the Xuanming Turtle, possessed a Divine Beast Bloodline. Ten thousand years ago, Xu Sanshi, the Eternal Defense who ranked third among Spirit Ice Douluo's generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters, came from this sect.

Han Tianyi nodded, then shook his head. "The Xuanming Sect has arrived, but they aren't the only ones. The Bright Dragon Family is here too, to collect the Sky Dragon Horse they reserved. Long Zhan's son, Long Chen, awakened a Bright Holy Dragon with Innate Full Soul Power."

"The Bright Dragon Family? Their family can also be considered to have an orderly inheritance. I have some history with Long Zhan."

Mu Ye stroked his chin. The Bright Holy Dragon family descended from Beibei, the leader of that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters ten thousand years ago. Occasionally, Soul Masters with pure Bright Holy Dragon bloodlines would appear.

However, the Bright Holy Dragon had many inherited branches, not just their family. Shrek had a Light-Dark Dragon Emperor, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also occasionally produced mutations.

Half an hour later, the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger had fused into one with Feng Zaixing. Under the guidance of the two powerful experts, Feng Zaixing controlled the Soul Bone and recalled it into his body. He seemed to have grown a little taller.

He said joyfully, "Teacher, Grand Uncle-Master, I've never felt so refreshed."

His Soul Power had increased again. He was now a level sixteen Soul Master, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had risen to a new level.

The Soul Skill the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger gave him was extraordinarily formidable—simply overbearing.

Mu Ye chuckled. "Don't be satisfied too soon. There are many wonderful things in the world of Soul Masters. Once you reach my level, you'll experience even more."

"Experience being unable to become a Super Douluo?" Feng Zaixing blinked, looking utterly innocent.

"You brat..." Mu Ye's face darkened. He somewhat wanted to hit someone.

"Hahahaha... You brat, serves you right!" Han Tianyi burst into laughter, shooting Mu Ye a faintly visible dangerous look.

Mu Ye shuddered and hurriedly waved his hands to show that his Junior Martial Uncle should not misunderstand. He quickly said, "Junior Martial Uncle, let the people from those two families come up. Getting Zaixing into the Spirit Ascension Platform for some training is the real priority."

"Alright."

Han Tianyi used his Spiritual Power to clear away all the Soul Power fluctuations Feng Zaixing had emitted before having the staff lead the attendees from the two families down.

The Xuanming Sect Master and the Bright Dragon Family Patriarch were both Super Douluo-level experts. Mu Ye was an old acquaintance of the Xuanming Sect Master, and the two exchanged greetings.

"So you are Xu Miao, tenth on the Young Genius Ranking? A pleasure to meet you. I am Feng Zaixing."

Feng Zaixing's gaze shifted and locked onto his tank partner for the Spirit Ascension Platform—a black-haired youth around thirteen or fourteen years old standing beside the Xuanzong Sect Master—and he greeted him warmly.

"Haha, my dad told me already. You're covering the costs for this trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform and for my new Soul Spirit. Happy Cooperation. If we run into danger, just hide behind me."

Xu Miao was tall and broad-backed, with handsome features and an air that said, You have money, so don't stand on ceremony. He did not look down on the young Feng Zaixing.

Feng Zaixing's mouth twitched secretly. So they had hired a mercenary.

When Long Zhan, the Bright Dragon Family Patriarch, saw Mu Ye, his expression was somewhat displeased. He said blandly, "I was wondering why Illusion Brain Your Excellency had no time to meet us juniors. So Sect Master Mu Ye was here."

Mu Ye gave a smile that did not reach his eyes and retorted, "This Sect Master had an appointment in advance and left early. What can you do about it?"

"Nothing. Naturally, my son's cultivation is what matters."

The Dragon Family Patriarch had brought two young people. He led the younger Long Chen forward and said to Han Tianyi, "My son has rarely awakened a pure Bright Holy Dragon. I'll have to trouble Illusion Brain Your Excellency."
