Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ah Yin
The sun was already setting in the west, and the sea was shimmering with a golden-red glow.
Sea Spear Douluo brought Ah Yin to the location of the Third Examination — the Raging Waves Desolation.
Before me stood jagged stone pillars, with surging waves crashing against them repeatedly, splashing white spray several meters high, and the roaring sound was incessant.
"The Third Examination is open to all, regardless of ability; all must persevere for a year."
After giving his instructions, Sea Spear Douluo left first.
He naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the assessment going on for so long.
At this moment, only Xia Yang and Ah Yin remained in this place.
Without hesitation, Ah Yin leaped onto a stone pillar.
Almost simultaneously, a giant wave crashed over her, soaking her completely.
The thin, fitted clothing clung tightly to her body, outlining her slender yet resilient figure. Beneath the soaked fabric, her muscles and bones were faintly visible, shimmering like warm jade in the twilight and shimmering water.
Xia Yang stood on a distant reef, quietly gazing at the figure that remained steadfast amidst the waves, his eyes filled with a subtle contemplation.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Wave after wave crashed relentlessly against Ah Yin's body.
She stood on the stone pillar, her body swaying slightly with the surging waves, yet she remained steadfast.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a dull thud came from not far away.
Ah Yin turned her head and saw that Xia Yang had somehow jumped onto a nearby stone pillar and was looking in her direction.
"How did you get up here? Didn't you already pass the test here?"
Ah Yin wiped the water droplets from her face and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just saw you were bored here all by yourself, so I came over to practice with you."
Xia Yang smiled, and just as he finished speaking, a wave more than ten meters high crashed down, slamming heavily onto the two of them.
Ah Yin stumbled from the impact, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha... thank you so much!"
"Focus on this and keep going."
"Um!"
The two said no more, standing side by side on the stone pillar, silently facing wave after wave.
Time slipped away quietly with the ebb and flow of the tide, and as dusk deepened, only a faint red line remained where the sea met the sky.
At this moment, Ah Yin had also completed her assessment for the day.
Then, she gracefully leaped back to the shore from the stone pillar.
At the same time, Xia Yang immediately returned to the shore.
Here, wipe it off.
Xia Yang handed him a dry towel.
"Thanks."
Ah Yin took it, turned her back to Xia Yang, and carefully wiped her soaked long hair and cheeks.
Ah Yin's clothes clung tightly to her body, outlining her slender figure, which appeared somewhat hazy in the dimming light.
Perhaps sensing Xia Yang's gaze, Ah Yin's movements became slightly awkward, and her ears turned a faint red.
After wiping her down, she quickly handed the towel back to Xia Yang.
When Xia Yang took it, his fingertips inadvertently touched her fingers. The towel was still damp and had a very faint fragrance, like the fresh dew on grass.
Xia Yang subconsciously sniffed the air.
"Cough."
Ah Yin quickly coughed lightly, then immediately turned her face away.
"Um... we should go back now."
Xia Yang put the towel away, his tone slightly uneasy.
"Um."
Ah Yin's voice was barely audible, and her cheeks flushed crimson.
Then, the two of them walked back along the coast together.
Neither of them spoke a word the entire way.
After walking for quite a while, Xia Yang suddenly stopped.
Ah Yin also stopped.
Then, she turned to look at Xia Yang and asked, "What's wrong?"
There's something... I've been wanting to ask you.
Xia Yang turned around and his gaze fell on Ah Yin's face.
"Go ahead and ask."
Ah Yin raised her eyes and met Xia Yang's gaze.
"Back then, in the Soul Hunting Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest, why did you help me?"
"And then, you even came with Erlong to bring me back..."
"And then, for almost a year after that, you stayed by our side."
Xia Yang paused, his voice sounding particularly clear in the night breeze.
"Why?"
Ah Yin paused for a moment, then said softly, "I don't know why either..."
"I just follow my heart."
"By the time I came to my senses, I had already caught up with them."
"Feeling? What kind of feeling?"
Xia Yang took half a step forward and looked down into Ah Yin's eyes.
In those clear eyes, he could see his own clear reflection.
Xia Yang's face slowly drew closer, their breaths mingling in the extremely close proximity, their warm breaths brushing against each other's skin.
Ah Yin gazed at Xia Yang's increasingly close features, her heart pounding like a drum. She murmured in an almost inaudible voice:
"That's... how I feel right now."
After saying that, she gently closed her eyes and tilted her face up.
Xia Yang didn't hesitate any longer and kissed her directly.
The sea breeze is gentle, the waves murmur softly, and the night seems to soften at this moment.
After a long while, the two separated, their breathing slightly disordered.
Their foreheads touched, and for a moment, neither of them spoke, only the lingering smiles and fluttering emotions in their eyes remained.
At that very moment, they simultaneously felt their Soul Power begin to resonate in a strange way.
Immediately afterwards, the Soul Power around the two of them began to circulate uncontrollably.
One was purple, the other gold; two colors of light emanated from their bodies, standing out conspicuously in the dim light.
The light of the Soul Power grew brighter and brighter, gradually intertwining Entanglement together.
"Martial Soul: Blue Silver Emperor!"
Behind Ah Yin, a tall, illusory Blue Silver Emperor slowly emerged.
Its entire body is azure blue, with magnificent golden patterns flowing along its veins and stems, exuding a warm yet powerful Life Aura in the night.
"Martial Soul: Susanoo!"
Behind Xia Yang, a massive, illusory image of Purple Armor appeared majestically.
Having undergone the tempering of six Spirit Ring, Xia Yang's Martial Soul is no longer the initial form of a half-body composed of a ribcage.
Instead, it had transformed into the silhouette of a giant with all four limbs and wearing heavy armor.
However, you can still see the original skeletal structure in some parts of the giant.
"Martial Soul Fusion!"
The two of them murmured simultaneously.
The phantoms of the Blue Silver Emperor and the Purple Giant intertwined in mid-air, their golden and purple light streams swirling and merging wildly, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.
Then, the light suddenly dimmed.
On the shore, Ah Yin and Xia Yang disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there stood a giant ten meters tall, clad in purple armor.
The armor was covered with intricate patterns of gold and purple, and the giant held a long spear that shimmered with golden light, the tip of which was faintly Entanglement the vines of the Blue Silver Emperor.
The giant stood silently at the edge of the tide, the waves submerging his ankles.
Then, the giant slowly raised his head and looked out at the dark, vast ocean.
Then, he pulled his right arm back and hurled the golden spear with all his might.
The Blue Silver Overlord Spear transformed into a golden meteor and disappeared into the distant sea.
