They Were Not Even Trying to Hide It

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

"Wang Dong'er and Yuhao have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill too?! But what connection could there possibly be between the Light Goddess Butterfly and the Spirit Eye?"

Xiao Xiao had never expected that, in just three months, she would witness three Martial Soul Fusion Skills—something most people in the Soul Master world might never see even once in their entire lives.

Including her own, that made four.

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were practically becoming wholesale goods!

Everyone present held their breath, afraid that even the slightest sound might affect the outcome of the battle onstage.

Huo Yuhao's eyes radiated a faint golden glow, while Wang Dong'er stood with dazzling wings spread behind her, her Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul Possession activated.

They were both at a loss over the current situation, but all that mattered was winning. As for why they could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they could study that after the match.

The two exchanged startled looks, each seeing the other's confusion and determination.

They had already made it to the finals. No normal person would want to stop here.

People only ever remembered the champion.

So Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er could not worry about anything else. Their Soul Power fused together.

Gritting her teeth, Wang Dong'er directly threw her arms around Huo Yuhao. The sudden movement left Huo Yuhao's mind completely blank.

"Idiot! Snap out of it!"

Coming back to his senses, Huo Yuhao hurriedly felt out Wang Dong'er's Martial Soul aura. As long as there was even the slightest hope, he did not want to lose to Dai Huabin.

A strange radiance shifting between blue, purple, and gold blossomed from their bodies, mixed with countless unusual Soul Power fluctuations.

A massive Martial Soul phantom appeared behind them. The Light Goddess Butterfly's phantom opened its two pairs of wings and embraced the Spirit Eye's image.

Light burst from where the phantoms overlapped and shot toward the Hell White Tiger ahead. It was incomparably brilliant, warping and dazzling the light along its path.

The Hell White Tiger neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight ahead.

Just as the two Martial Soul Fusion Skills were about to collide, a figure appeared between them.

Feeling the Soul Power in his body fall into an uncontrollable stagnation, Du Weilun was utterly shocked. A Martial Soul Fusion Skill unleashed by one Soul Grandmaster and one Soul Master had actually affected him, a Soul Douluo.

He instinctively mobilized his Soul Power and forcibly broke through the restriction, then turned and slapped the Hell White Tiger flying just as its attack was about to land on him.

Having released their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao collapsed limply to the ground, without even a trace of strength left.

Since Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had just been sent flying by Du Weilun, the Hell White Tiger instantly broke apart, and the two fell into sweet dreams on the grass outside the arena.

Now, the only ones still able to fight in the entire field were Cui Yajie and Xiao Xiao.

Yet everyone present was still immersed in the astonishing scene they had just witnessed.

A clash between Martial Soul Fusion Skills—how many Soul Masters could witness such a sight even once in their lives? Yet it had appeared during a mere Freshman Assessment.

Not only the students, but even the teachers, Yan Shaozhe, and Qian Duoduo all felt that this trip had been worthwhile.

Seeing the scene below from the platform, Chen Yuan and the other two seemed to turn into statues.

What? A Martial Soul Fusion Skill could happen here too? Those two could barely be considered acquainted. Wasn't this Martial Soul Fusion Skill appearing way too suddenly? Did God King Tang make his move?

Chen Yuan decided that he should stay as far away from Wang Dong'er as possible in the future. It seemed God King Tang's divine sense was still carrying out his plan and still watching Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny.

Wang Dong'er absolutely could not be allowed to join that Shrek Seven Devils Reserve Team.

Chen Yuan did not want to spend his days hiding everywhere, so he should cut off every possible chance of encountering Wang Dong'er.

If they could avoid meeting, they should. Keeping Wang Dong'er out of the Reserve Team would at least affect the progress of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er's relationship.

In any case, Chen Yuan would never allow God King Tang's plan to succeed so smoothly.

The prerequisite was that Chen Yuan absolutely could not expose himself to God King Tang's sight. Fortunately, this year's Reserve Team selection was a free-for-all.

Since it was a free-for-all, it was perfectly reasonable for Wang Dong'er to be eliminated, right?

"Bei Bei, don't you feel like things have been a little unreal lately? One after another, people around us have Martial Soul Fusion Skills now—and all of them are with girls! Why can't Nannan and I have one?"

"Heavens! So many people already have Martial Soul Fusion Skills! What would be wrong with letting Nannan and me be among them?!"

Xu Sanshi sighed emotionally. In just a few short months, two pairs with Martial Soul Fusion Skills had appeared around him.

Both pairs were male and female. He felt as if heaven and earth were specifically targeting him.

But the more that happened, the more determined Xu Sanshi became to win Jiang Nannan over!

Xu Sanshi was not one to give up after repeated setbacks.

"I... I'm quite... surprised too. Little Junior Brother is really that lucky? He already has a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Bei Bei's gaze constantly shifted between Chen Yuan and Huo Yuhao in the distance.

Both of them had suddenly gained Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

"We really came at the right time. We got to see two Martial Soul Fusion Skills. It's a pity their opponent was slapped away by Director Du. I really wanted to know whether Little Junior Brother's Martial Soul Fusion Skill or the Hell White Tiger was stronger."

"The answer is obvious. Yuhao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is stronger."

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi both turned their gazes toward Chen Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

Chen Yuan organized his words. After all, he was drawing the target after firing the arrow; as long as the logic held up, it would be fine.

"I don't know whether you noticed, but Director Du blanked out for an instant when he came into contact with Yuhao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"If I remember correctly, Yuhao's Martial Soul is of the spiritual type. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill should have spiritual attributes as well. Being able to make a Soul Douluo freeze for even an instant is already something the Hell White Tiger cannot compare to."

"Oh! So that's how it is."

"Mm. If it's really as you said, Chen Yuan, then Little Junior Brother's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is indeed stronger."

On the field, Xiao Xiao combined her three cauldrons into one and smashed it down upside down, trapping Cui Yajie within.

With Cui Yajie's Soul Grandmaster cultivation, moving the heavy Soul Suppressing Cauldron was clearly unrealistic. But she was not worried; she did not believe Xiao Xiao had any skill that could hurt her from a distance.

Rolling up her sleeves and revealing her pale, tender arms, Xiao Xiao took a deep breath. Her fist cut through the air like a dragon, and her punch sent a thunderous boom through the massive Soul Suppressing Cauldron.

The cauldron rang like a bell. Clang—clang—clang!

Punch after punch landed, and the ringing of the cauldron echoed throughout the Assessment Zone. Students with weaker cultivation who stood closer to the arena all covered their ears.

They swallowed hard as they stared at the petite girl onstage, unable to imagine how such a small body could contain such immense strength.

And from the look of it, Xiao Xiao did not seem tired at all.

Since he had not heard Cui Yajie call for help or surrender, the referee could not stop the match. Only when Du Weilun stepped onto the field and signaled Xiao Xiao to stop did she lower her fists.

She controlled the Soul Suppressing Cauldron into the air, revealing Cui Yajie unconscious on the ground. Even after passing out, she still remembered to cover her ears.

Seeing Cui Yajie unconscious, Xiao Xiao was ecstatic!

Her three months of training had not been wasted!

She had truly become the champion of the Freshman Assessment!

As expected, I, Xiao Xiao, am a genius too!
