Martial Soul Fusion Skill

The three Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons merged into one, transforming into an even larger giant cauldron with a more ancient, solemn aura.

The Dragon Soul flew into the air and circled the giant cauldron. The Nine-Phoenix Flute completely dissolved, and a golden phoenix emerged from within. However, compared to the dragon, the phoenix was far more illusory.

A dragon and phoenix flew around the cauldron. A relief of an auspicious dragon and phoenix appeared upon it, resonating with the dragon and phoenix in the air. Faint dragon roars and phoenix cries could even be heard.

Three yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring merged into the giant cauldron. For a moment, its aura became even more profound and heavy.

Suddenly, Mu En sensed an indescribably mysterious feeling from the giant cauldron. The dragon and phoenix merged into it, and then the cauldron came crashing down upon him.

Mu En made no move to defend himself. Even though his remaining lifespan was now nearly exhausted, this was not something a Soul Ancestor and a Soul Grandmaster's Martial Soul Fusion Skill could possibly shake.

When his aged, bark-wrinkled hands touched the cauldron, his Bright Sacred Dragon Martial Soul let out an unwilling, mournful cry.

Soul Power that did not belong to him invaded Mu En's body. He instinctively activated his own Soul Power, and the giant cauldron instantly dissipated.

As the cauldron vanished, Chen Yuan and Xiao Xiao's auras also became incomparably weak.

Chen Yuan was still relatively better off. Because his cultivation was higher, he could barely support himself. Xiao Xiao, however, had no strength left at all and could only lean against Chen Yuan's chest. Without his support, she would have collapsed onto the ground.

Mu En secretly regretted his actions and sent two balls of light into their bodies, making them feel somewhat better.

"Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill truly is different."

Mu En gave Chen Yuan a meaningful look. Knowing that Chen Yuan and Xiao Xiao had no strength left, he continued his explanation.

"This is not an ordinary Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Yours is a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, like the Golden Iron Triangle of old!"

At the mention of the Golden Iron Triangle, Mu En's face flushed slightly. Even though Yu Xiaogang's theories had now been proven to be utter nonsense, who would dare say so?

Besides, they truly had been the founders of Shrek Academy. Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were even ancestors of Mu En's lineage.

Aside from the influence of his ancestors, Mu En was excited because of the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill itself.

In the world of Soul Masters, even a fusion of two Martial Souls was a rare occurrence. Throughout history, only the Golden Iron Triangle had possessed a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Yet now, another Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill had appeared before him. How could Mu En not be excited?

Although this Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill was rather bizarre, it truly was a fusion of three Martial Souls. There could be no mistake about that.

The power of a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill was certainly greater than that of an ordinary Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Based on what I just sensed, your three Martial Souls produced this Martial Soul Fusion Skill only because they complemented one another."

"However, your fusion rate is somewhat low, probably only between sixty and sixty-five percent. Its power is roughly equivalent to a normal strike from a Soul Emperor."

"If this little girl's Soul Power Level were higher, its power could likely reach the Soul Saint level."

"But this level of fusion should not be enough to accelerate your cultivation speed, nor should it produce such a degree of Soul Power intermingling."

Mu En lowered his head in thought. Martial Souls were simply too strange. The entire continent had researched them for countless years, yet they had somehow learned nothing at all.

So even Mu En did not understand why this had happened.

Seeing Mu En fall into thought, Chen Yuan helped Xiao Xiao sit down. Yet she still had little strength and continued leaning against his chest.

The two entered a cultivation state. Their intermingling Soul Power rapidly restored them, pulling them back from the state of having their Soul Power completely drained.

The resonance between their Martial Souls had not completely faded. A piece of information appeared in both their minds at the same time.

Only then did Chen Yuan and Xiao Xiao learn the full details of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Simply put, aside from directly attacking as it had just done, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had two auxiliary uses.

The first was to summon the dragon and phoenix, strengthened by the giant cauldron, back into their bodies and enter an enhanced state.

The second was for both the dragon and phoenix to enter one person's body, greatly strengthening all of that person's attributes.

The degree of enhancement was enormous, so enormous that it came with an extremely severe side effect.

When both the dragon and phoenix entered one person's body, the other could only remain where they were and maintain the Soul Power connection. They could do nothing else.

They could not even defend themselves and could only stand there.

The exact enhancement values were unknown and would need to be tested later.

It could only be said that the latter ability was practically the same as having nothing at all. Once used, it would turn them into a living target.

Wait, perhaps not a living target after all...

Chen Yuan still had Dali Gu!

If they truly needed the second effect, couldn't they just have Dali Gu handle the offense or defense?

Moreover, as Chen Yuan's partner, although Dali Gu was an independent individual, under the rules of Douluo Continent, they were considered one whole.

Since they were one whole, could the enhancement from this Martial Soul Fusion Skill be applied to Dali Gu as well?

All of that would need to be tried later.

Chen Yuan's Soul Rings had originally all provided enhancement Soul Skills. With all of them activated, he could take on high-level Soul Emperors.

Add another enhancement Soul Skill on top of that, and its power was simply unimaginable.

Even if it could not be done, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was still incredibly powerful. It was probably another skill with absurdly inflated numbers.

By then, Chen Yuan would be fighting alongside the first generation of Digimon, personally standing beside Dali Gu and joining the battle like the second generation.

The recovery effect of their intermingling Soul Power was quite good. Xiao Xiao soon recovered enough to barely walk.

Just as before, neither of them noticed anything before they had already returned to the entrance of the dormitory building. The students coming and going around them seemed not to have noticed them either.

Mu En had probably used some method.

After returning, Mu En waved his hand, signaling that they could leave. They should go do whatever they needed to do and stop disturbing an old man sunbathing.

It also happened to be nearly time to eat.

On the way to the cafeteria, a clear connection formed between them, allowing them to sense each other's presence. The atmosphere between them immediately became extremely awkward, and neither knew what to say.

"Xiao Xiao, you should have been to the school cafeteria already, right?"

"Ah... ah! I have."

Xiao Xiao had not yet recovered from everything that had just happened. She was still immersed in the surreal feeling of suddenly possessing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill at that.

That was why she seemed so distracted.

"Senior, speaking of the cafeteria, I wanted to ask something. Why doesn't Shrek's cafeteria have tables or benches? Whether we're standing, squatting, or sitting on the floor, it all feels so strange."

"And we're not even allowed to take food out of the cafeteria. These rules are so ridiculous."

"Ridiculous? That's exactly right. Shrek's rules are indeed incredibly ridiculous. I've been here for years, and I still can't accept them."

"I really don't know what those higher-ups are thinking."

They said it was to make students feel a greater sense of urgency, but what did urgency have to do with eating?

They were just making trouble for no reason.

Even Shrek, when it was still in a village ten thousand years ago, had tables and chairs. Yet ten thousand years later, the number one academy on the continent had none.

They had truly climbed too high to care about how the students below felt.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Core Disciple window to get food."

The Outer Court had only two cafeterias in total, one for the Martial Soul Department and one for the Soul Tool Department. However, the cafeterias were large enough to separate students from every grade.

No matter how large the cafeterias were, there was not a single table or chair.

When they reached the Core Disciple window, the dedicated staff member inside glanced at Chen Yuan, then picked up one of the three special lunch boxes from a table beside him and handed it to Chen Yuan.

Seeing Xiao Xiao in her freshman uniform, he seemed uncertain of her identity.

"She's a freshman this year. Dean Yan specially approved her early admission as a Core Disciple."

Upon hearing that, the man picked up a ladle, served several portions of freshly cooked dishes onto a tray, and handed it to Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao looked at the ordinary tray in her hands, then at the lunch box Chen Yuan held. They were both Core Disciples, so why was there even a difference in their meals?

"Stop looking. My status is a little higher than that of a Core Disciple. I'll explain later."

Xiao Xiao obediently nodded. In her eyes, Chen Yuan's willingness to tell her these things meant that he trusted her.

She had never imagined that, as someone with Twin Martial Souls, she could actually receive the same treatment as Chen Yuan.

Shrek Reserve Team selections generally involved Core Disciples from the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grades of the Outer Court. It was only because Sea God Pavilion had made an exception for Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice that Second Grade students had even been included.

And Twin Martial Souls alone were not enough to make Sea God Pavilion hold a special meeting for Xiao Xiao, so she could not receive any further preferential treatment for the time being.
