Intermingling Soul Power

When Chen Yuan pushed open the door, Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei heard the movement and put down what they were doing, turning around to greet him.

At the sight, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What did they see?

Chen Yuan had brought a girl back to the dormitory?

And she appeared to be unconscious.

After Chen Yuan laid Xiao Xiao on the bed, he kept their Soul Power in a fused state, just as Mu En had instructed.

Seeing how nervous Chen Yuan was, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi unconsciously lowered both their voices and their movements.

"What's going on?"

"Yeah, Chen Yuan. You suddenly brought a girl back, and we weren't mentally prepared for this at all."

The two of them were stunned by Chen Yuan suddenly carrying a girl back to the dormitory, but they did not say much. They trusted that Chen Yuan was not the type to fool around.

Something must have happened, right? The poor girl had even fainted.

"It's a long story."

"Then make it short."

"Our Soul Power somehow fused together, and then I fainted. My Soul Power Level is higher, so I woke up a little earlier."

"I couldn't just leave her outside, could I? I was partly responsible for her passing out, and I didn't know where her dormitory was, so I had no choice but to carry her back."

After hearing Chen Yuan's explanation, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi wore extremely strange expressions. They seemed to have something to say, yet felt too embarrassed to say it.

Chen Yuan gestured for them to speak freely.

"Damn! Your luck is way too good, isn't it? Your Soul Power actually fused! Didn't you say yesterday that your Martial Souls only had the slightest connection?"

"That's why this was an unexpected situation."

"What are we doing tonight? Looking at her, she probably won't wake up tonight."

"The old man at the entrance told me to maintain the Soul Power fusion with Xiao Xiao tonight. He said it would be beneficial to both of us."

"Alright, we understand. But no matter what, it isn't appropriate for a man and woman to share a bed, and chairs are uncomfortable. How about this? I'll move my bed over for now, and you can sit on it tonight."

"We're cultivating anyway. Sanshi and I can squeeze together tonight. Tell us if anything happens."

As he spoke, Bei Bei motioned for Xu Sanshi to help him move the bed. The two beds were pushed together so Chen Yuan could be more comfortable.

Soul Power fusion was a major matter. The two of them could not possibly hold him back at a time like this. Otherwise, they would be utterly inhuman.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged and silently circulated his Soul Power, controlling the fused Soul Power as it continuously flowed through both of their meridians.

With Xiao Xiao currently unconscious, Chen Yuan found it incredibly easy to circulate their Soul Power. It was practically as natural as moving his own arm.

Their Soul Power was like a speeding car, rapidly coursing through their meridians.

Within Chen Yuan's body, the Soul Power continuously nourished his meridians, making them increasingly resilient while helping him compress his Soul Power without end.

The process was incomparably slow, but there was genuine progress. As long as he persisted over the years, his foundation would become incomparably solid.

When the Soul Power entered Xiao Xiao's body, Chen Yuan controlled the portion that belonged to him, constantly burning away impurities in her meridians and opening up several passages that had originally been blocked.

Afterward, the fused Soul Power nourished Xiao Xiao's meridians without leaving behind even the slightest hidden danger.

Xiao Xiao's level was still too low, and she had not paid much attention to cultivation before. Many of the meridians in her body were extremely fragile and needed proper nourishment.

Based on his years of cultivation, Chen Yuan had improved the advanced Meditation Method he practiced considerably. It now encompassed every meridian he knew of.

He had exhausted all the knowledge he possessed.

If necessary later, he could make a trip to the Mandarin Duck Pot and obtain the Mysterious Heaven Skill recorded there, which contained the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. By then, he could probably try creating a cultivation technique of his own.

Or he could wait for Electrolux to awaken, use the Gold of Life to stabilize his divine consciousness, and then obtain a complete meridian map from him.

It was even possible to have Electrolux tailor a cultivation technique specifically for him.

He was only afraid that before he had cultivated it for long, he would already be able to unleash the Sky Wing Lion King Demon-Breaking Fist and become invincible outright.

Their fused Soul Power continuously traveled through their meridians, improving both their bodies in a positive direction.

The entire night passed like this. When Xiao Xiao's consciousness became hazy the following morning, she felt as though her hand was being held by a larger one.

When she opened her eyes, Shrek's ceilings all looked the same. She could not see any difference.

Then she realized that both the softness and scent of the bedding were wrong.

Her own bedding was newly purchased, so it smelled only of soap. But the blanket covering her carried the distinct scent of having been dried in the sun for a long time.

Every one of her senses told her that this was not her dormitory.

Fortunately, she saw a familiar face.

No, wait! That somehow made things even worse!

She grabbed the blanket and pulled it over herself, unwilling to face reality. She tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday, but she only remembered suddenly passing out after leaving the Beast Fighting Arena.

"Alright, stop pretending to be an ostrich now that you're awake. Something unexpected happened yesterday, and I didn't know where your dormitory was, so I could only settle you here first."

Xiao Xiao poked her little head out from under the blanket. She looked at Chen Yuan, utterly bewildered.

"Our Soul Power has already completed its fusion. My level rose by one because of it, and you should have gained something as well. Check yourself."

Only then did she belatedly notice that the Soul Power within her seemed much purer, her meridians much tougher, and even her level had reached twenty-three.

The night before last, she had taken a Mystic Water Pill and broken through level twenty. Yesterday afternoon, she had absorbed a Soul Ring and reached the peak of level twenty-one. Then that night, her Soul Power fused with Chen Yuan's, thoroughly consolidating her cultivation while also absorbing the remaining medicinal power of the Mystic Water Pill.

Her cultivation had been stabilized so thoroughly that Xiao Xiao did not need to do anything more.

"Level twenty-three?"

For a moment, Xiao Xiao was dazed by the pie that had suddenly fallen from the sky and hit her squarely in the face.

After she came to her senses, she noticed that this dormitory was twice as spacious as hers. It was also a three-person room, while the other two were squeezed onto one bed, sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

It was obviously because of her, which made her feel extremely embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Senior. I caused you trouble yesterday."

"It's alright. A large part of the responsibility lies with me, and I benefited from it too. Does anything feel uncomfortable with your body?"

"No, it's just... can I fuse Soul Power with you once? Just for a moment. I passed out last night and didn't feel anything, so I don't know what Soul Power fusion feels like."

Chen Yuan extended his right hand to make his stance clear. Xiao Xiao's cheeks reddened slightly as she took his hand.

Their Soul Power fused once more. Since the connection had been severed for only a short time, Chen Yuan did not feel much. Xiao Xiao, however, covered her mouth in disbelief.

Soul Power fusion could actually increase the speed at which Soul Power circulated? It was simply unheard of.

"Our situation is rather special. I'm sure you felt it too. Although our Soul Power has fused, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill still hasn't appeared."

"Other people's fusions probably draw on their similarities, while ours are like puzzle pieces, recombining the different parts of our Martial Souls that each side needs."

"That's about all I can guess. This morning is the freshmen's first class, so we'd better not miss it. This afternoon, I'll take you to see a teacher."

"We should have a knowledgeable teacher take a look at our situation."

"Mhm, alright."

The lack of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was indeed disappointing, but what was meant to come would come eventually.

As for exactly what was going on between her and Chen Yuan, she should find out this afternoon.

"By the way, Xiao Xiao, which freshman class are you in?"

"Freshman Class Nine."

"Alright. Wait for me by the cafeteria at noon. I'll take you to the Core Disciple window so you can learn the way."
