High-Level Fusion Material: Xiao Xiao (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron?

Fan Yu listened to Zhou Yi's words and recalled this martial soul; it was indeed a top-tier Tool Martial Soul.

And Xiao Xiao seemed to be the little genius in her class.

Listening to Zhou Yi analyze the students in her class from her desk every day, there were several names that had become impossible for him to forget.

"Are you still planning to take that girl named Xiao Xiao as your disciple?" Fan Yu asked, seemingly having guessed Zhou Yi's thoughts, and spoke seriously.

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's right, I do intend to take her in as well after I take on Xuanyuan Sheng."

But that wasn't what she wanted Fan Yu to ask about right now.

"She has Twin Martial Souls."

"Hm? But you didn't mention that before," Fan Yu asked.

"Fan Yu, this is what I learned from studying that ancient manuscript," Zhou Yi said, her aged face wrinkling with satisfaction.

Fan Yu stared at her just like that.

It wasn't until Xiao Xiao truly defeated the soul beasts in a crushing manner using her second martial soul, just as Zhou Yi had described, that he was mostly convinced.

Zhou Yi paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "These children have picked up bad habits from somewhere; they like to hide their true selves."

Every single one of them was like that.

Wang Dong, who kept asking her for leave only a few classes into the term, as well as Xiao Xiao, and even Xuanyuan Sheng from Class Nine next door, all liked to do this.

"Is that so?" Fan Yu laughed heartily: "I never expected that the Teacher Selection Meeting you pushed for this time would have such a powerful influence on the Outer Courtyard students."

He had never imagined that students would hide their talents; after all, who wouldn't want to show their true abilities to gain the chance to become an Inner Courtyard disciple?

But the emergence of the Teacher Selection Meeting allowed teachers with the intention of taking on disciples to choose those hidden gems based on their own preferences.

Zhou Yi shook her head, "There is another purpose, and it is for you, Fan Yu."

The Soul Tool Department was a place forgotten by most, and the Teacher Selection Meeting was meant to change that, as she had discovered this opportunity.

Only in this way would Fan Yu not have to compete and argue with the people from the Spirit Master Department.

Everyone would choose their disciples openly and honestly; if their Soul Tool Department picked good disciples, the people from the Spirit Master Department couldn't possibly still have the nerve to demand people from them.

"But if we pick all the good disciples like this, what will your Spirit Master Department do?" Fan Yu still had some reservations.

Being able to find geniuses meant she had the ability to sweep them all up, and Shrek had more than just the Soul Tool Department.

If all the geniuses went to the Soul Tool Department, the Spirit Master Department would certainly have plenty to say.

"Follow the chicken, follow the chicken; follow the dog, follow the dog," Zhou Yi said very calmly.

The Spirit Master Department was indeed where she had always been, but when forced to choose between the two, she was more willing to help the husband she shared a bed with.

"Fine then, since that's the case, I'll take all these geniuses into our Soul Tool Department."

Fan Yu could already imagine his Soul Tool Department no longer consisting of just a few people, but being packed with crowds, his students flourishing everywhere.

But these things didn't seem to have anything to do with their current situation.

However, Fan Yu did not take the initiative to ask Zhou Yi how she planned to do it; he trusted that she could handle everything well.

When the situation in the Soul Tool Telescope looked wrong.

Fan Yu voiced his question: "So what is that little girl Xiao Xiao doing now? Why is she just standing there without moving?"

Zhou Yi took a Soul Tool Telescope out from her soul tool and looked toward Xiao Xiao's position; just as Fan Yu had said, Xiao Xiao was standing in place, motionless.

Because the distance was too great, they could only see the scene of Xiao Xiao standing still, and could not see that Xiao Xiao's large eyes were tightly shut.

But the next second, they saw the scene of Xiao Xiao turning into a ball of light and floating upward.

Xiao Xiao felt the resonance within her body growing stronger, similar to that day, the resonance between the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and Xiao Sheng's Xuanyuan Sword—it was the exact same feeling.

Slowly, her soul power was consumed rapidly.

Regarding this, she was still somewhat excited.

The first time she used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she had been so "drained" that she didn't even have the memory of how she had fused and used it.

"Will I be able to see the scene of myself and Xiao Sheng using a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together this time?" Xiao Xiao asked the Love System.

The fact that she hadn't been able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill last time had left her feeling miserable all by herself for quite a while.

The Love System only responded strangely.

[Of course, have you forgotten what kind of pills you secretly took from that senior Alchemist of yours? Those were all replenishing...]

"E-enough."

Having her hidden secrets exposed made Xiao Xiao lose face.

"Just let me stay awake, don't be such a chatterbox; don't you know that family scandals shouldn't be made public?" Xiao Xiao lectured the Love System with an adult-like tone.

Seeing her like this, the Love System didn't finish what it was saying and silently shut its mouth.

Xiao Xiao poured her soul power into it with all her might.

A radiance emanated from her body, its aura spreading toward Xuanyuan Sheng in the tree like a massive spiderweb.

Then...

Xiao Xiao watched as her own body began to dissolve into nothingness, transforming toward the direction of the sphere of light.

A sphere of light drifted like duckweed, eventually landing on Xuanyuan Sheng.

"Isn't my Martial Soul Fusion Skill supposed to be the fusion of two martial souls? Why did I turn into a ball of light?"

Xiao Xiao was a bit bewildered by the current scene; she remembered it wasn't like this before, so how was she supposed to openly cling to Xiao Sheng this time?

So that's what you were thinking about?

The Love System choked back the warning it had been about to give her.

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at the sphere of light in front of him.

In his perception, the sphere of light before him resonated with his martial soul in much the same way as a standard fusion.

But was this really a Martial Soul Fusion?

Why did it feel a bit like piloting a mecha, or rather, the state of being piloted?

He summoned the Xuanyuan Sword into his hand.

The sphere of light approached the Xuanyuan Sword quite fawningly, and the next moment, upon contact, it transformed into its current state.

Xuanyuan Sheng held the Xuanyuan Sword, while Xiao Xiao had become a unique existence, a sword spirit floating beside the blade.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water.

He walked toward the mindless, rampaging Copper-Toothed Pig.

With a light horizontal sweep of the sword.

The tree beside the thousand-year Copper-Toothed Pig was the first to split in two and slide down, and shortly after, the beast itself collapsed with a boom, shaking the ground.

"Is... that it..."

Before Xiao Xiao could even process what happened, she shifted from her ethereal sword spirit state back into a physical form, caught firmly by Xuanyuan Sheng.

Xuanyuan Sheng felt that Xiao Xiao was like a high-grade fusion material; any soul skill could be attempted with her.

That state just now was truly invincible.

He wasn't talking about himself, of course, but Xiao Xiao.

An ethereal sword spirit that could also initiate attacks.

Didn't this represent a unique kind of power?

The only drawback was that this little loli was still too weak; although she had used her soul power this time, it was merely a simple application of it.

As for skills, Xiao Xiao's level was still too far behind his; they needed to be within one major rank of each other, otherwise, she would faint the moment she used one.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao had gotten to experience a few seconds of invincibility.
