You've Already Been Surrounded by Me | Can One Person Use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

"Roar?!"

Wait! Something seemed off!

Seeing this, the Gale Wind Wolf King's originally wild and unruly gaze instantly cleared.

It remembered seeing the spider spears on Zhu Zhuqing's back before!

It had seen them on the Man Faced Demon Spider, the apex predator known as the evil Slaughterer!

"Awoo~"

The wind is tight, retreat! Kids, run!

The Gale Wind Wolf King let out a howl.

Hearing this, the Gale Wolf Pack did not hesitate and decisively began to retreat!

Only...

"Can you run?"

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be muttering to herself as a confident smile curled across the corner of her cold mouth.

"You've already been surrounded by me."

The young girl's eyes narrowed, and red light suddenly flashed.

"White Tiger Slaughter Array!"

A blood-colored ripple rapidly spread outward from the young girl, covering an area two hundred meters across in the blink of an eye.

Within the array, the scent of blood and slaughter surged like boiling waves, continuously eroding the consciousness and Soul Power of all living creatures!

The next moment...

"Awoo~" "Roar~" "Aaah~!"

Amid the cries of various Soul Beasts, figures appeared one after another along the edge of the Slaughter Array, converging on Zhu Zhuqing from all directions.

In less than two seconds, the situation had reversed!

The wolf pack that had been trying to flee was now forcefully surrounded by this group of dead souls instead.

At a glance, the Army of the Dead contained all kinds of creatures: Hell Wolves, Pillar Rock Rhinoceroses, One-Eyed Owls... and even a Vajra Tiger, the largest of them all!

The dead souls awakened within the Slaughter Array had crazed red light shining from their eyes as they charged together at the Gale Wind Demon Wolves before them.

Though their auras were weak and their strength had plummeted after becoming dead souls, they feared no death and possessed overwhelming numbers!

More than ten dead souls attacked each Gale Wind Demon Wolf. Even if they could not kill one, they could still wound it and hold it down!

For a time, miserable howls rose and fell without end.

"You're next!"

Zhu Zhuqing fixed her eyes on the Gale Wind Wolf King, her gaze filled with undisguised, icy Killing Intent.

"Whine~"

The Wolf King desperately wanted to flee, but its instincts told it that it could not escape!

The only option now was a fight to the death!

Wang's Bloodline began to boil!

"Awoo~!"

The Wolf King let out a low growl, then its agile and powerful body shot forward.

A vicious gleam flashed in its eyes. Moving like the wind, it rushed before Zhu Zhuqing with lightning speed and pounced with all its might!

Its sharp wolf claws left streaks of cyan afterimages as, carried by the power of the wind, they fiercely slashed down at Zhu Zhuqing.

Their power seemed capable of tearing apart anything!

Whoosh—!

The gale ripped toward her, but Zhu Zhuqing neither dodged nor evaded. Her face remained utterly calm.

"Hell Pierce!"

The spikes in her hand bloomed with Dark Rays, stabbing straight at the Gale Wind Demon Wolf like the ink color of eternal night that could never be erased.

Bang!

The violent wind tremored, and the Wolf King's body stalled.

The Gale Wind Demon Claw it had unleashed with all its strength was shattered in a single exchange by the young girl's seemingly delicate cat claw!

Its front paw was viciously nailed in place by that cat claw.

Before it could resist or struggle, the Eight Spider Lances behind the young girl flashed with netherworld light at the same time.

"Hell... Pierce!"

As her crisp, indifferent voice sounded, the Eight Spider Lances stabbed down together.

Whoosh!

Squelch!

The Gale Wind Wolf King's body trembled.

Its fur, usually so tough that blades and spears could not penetrate it, was now like paper.

Eight Spears!

Sixteen holes!

"Whine~~..."

The Demon Wolf let out a miserable howl and tried to struggle, but its body had been completely pinned from the inside out by the spider spears. No matter how strong it was, it had nowhere to exert its strength.

The poison on the spider spears spread rapidly. Its life was swiftly draining away, and the Wolf King's eyes were full of unwillingness.

It had only just awakened Wang's Bloodline. Given enough time, once it became a Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast, it would surely become a true Gale Wind Wolf King!

But now, all of that had become an unattainable dream.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing vaguely sensed an extremely faint stream of Soul Power flowing back into her body through the Eight Spider Lances.

This Soul Power was not temporary Soul Power that could not be retained for long, but permanent Soul Power that could raise her level!

"Whine..."

Not long after, the Gale Wind Demon Wolf's wails abruptly ceased, and its body returned to the earth like dust.

A pale purple soul, drawn by the Slaughter Skull, also flew into the Slaughter Space.

It then transformed into a dead soul and began hunting the subordinates it had commanded in life.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing remained standing there blankly.

"Was that just my imagination?"

The young girl sounded uncertain. "My Eight Spider Lances seem to be able to raise a little permanent Soul Power through devouring, even without evolving."

"It wasn't your imagination. Your Soul Power has indeed increased by an imperceptible amount."

Bai Lu confirmed the young girl's feeling and guessed,

"The Eight Spider Lances are attached to your spine and ribs, while your spine is connected to the Slaughter Skull. The slaughter attributes carried by the two are highly compatible.

"Together with the nourishment of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances successfully underwent a slight evolution when they first fused with you."

"Then can I raise my level through devouring now?"

Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at the Gale Wind Demon Wolves killed by the dead souls, excitement gleaming in her eyes just like when the Fourth Calamity farmed monsters.

"I don't think so, but you can try."

Bai Lu did not hold much hope for it.

The Eight Spider Lances had only evolved a little, and their Conversion Rate was outrageously low. Even if she drained a pile of Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beasts dry, she probably would not gain a single level.

Rather than waste that time, it would be better to first find a way to evolve the Eight Spider Lances!

However, the young girl was quite practical and devoured every Gale Wind Demon Wolf.

In the end, she reached a conclusion—Bai Lu was right!

But the young girl, who had expected this outcome, was not disappointed. Instead, she was happy because the Wolf Pack Legion had gained new members.

Only...

"Eeya~"

Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly turned pale. A faint pain immediately rose in her head, leaving her dizzy and disoriented, and the Slaughter Array shattered in response.

She used her spider spears to support herself and steady her slightly swaying body.

"The White Tiger Slaughter Array does not consume much Soul Power, but it consumes and strains Spiritual Power greatly."

"With your current Spiritual Power, even with the Slaughter Skull's support, maintaining the entire Army of the Dead for a long time is no easy task."

Bai Lu let out a faint sigh.

If the Army of the Dead could be activated without cost, then that insignificant Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would likely have been drowned by his Army of the Dead before it could even touch him.

"Your Spiritual Power training needs to be put on the agenda from now on."

"What should I do?"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing finished asking, a massive stream of information flooded into her mind.

It contained a detailed record of a special method for cultivating Spiritual Power. Beyond that, it also included techniques for dead soul conversion, dead soul control, and more.

"This is the White Tiger Slaughter Secret, a special cultivation method that uses the dead souls in the Slaughter Space to temper Spiritual Power. Just set aside time to practice it every day from now on."

Bai Lu paused slightly, his tone becoming more serious.

"Compared to Spiritual Power, what matters more right now is developing your Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, [Hell White Tiger]!"

"I can use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill by myself?"

Zhu Zhuqing stood frozen in place, her face full of disbelief.

Wasn't the reason the Zhu Family and the Dai Family had intermarried for generations precisely because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

And now... she could use it by herself?
