Ice Staff, Star Staff, Herrscher of Ice!

In the park.

Xu Xiaoyan held the Star Wheel Ice Staff in her hand.

A bright yellow Soul Ring floated beneath her.

Amidst the faint chill of ice and the radiance of starlight, her figure became even more dreamlike.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul truly possessed a stellar attribute, the stifled feeling in Mu Xi's chest grew even more solid.

She didn't know what was wrong with her today, but she felt very unhappy.

However, Xu Yue understood Xu Xiaoyan's situation clearly at this moment.

It was roughly the same as Mu Xi's yesterday.

She must have sensed the presence of the Star of Eden, creating an inexplicable attraction that likely led her to misunderstand certain things.

According to the normal flow of the plot, the opportunity for Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul Evolution should have been at the Star Gazing Platform of the Tianding Starry Sky Soul Master Academy.

By absorbing massive amounts of pure star power there, she would have completely washed away the ice attribute of the Star Wheel Ice Staff, making the stellar attribute pure.

This would have allowed the Martial Soul to completely transform into a Star Staff, laying the foundation for her future as the Number One Controller Under the Starry Sky.

Although there was no massive star power here, the grade of the Star of Eden was definitely above that of the Star Gazing Platform.

Thinking of this, Xu Yue summoned the Star of Eden.

A deep blue sphere appeared, emitting specks of starlight.

This made the eyes of Xu Xiaoyan and Ouyang Zixin, who were seeing it for the first time, light up instantly.

At this moment, accompanying the appearance of the Star of Eden.

The strange feeling in Xu Xiaoyan's heart became increasingly clear and intense.

"I......"

Just as she was about to speak.

An anomaly suddenly occurred!

A light curtain, as brilliant and profound as the starry sky, suddenly enveloped all four people present.

And the source of this change was precisely Xu Yue's Star of Eden!

Under the shroud of starlight, the Star Wheel Ice Staff in Xu Xiaoyan's hand also began to change.

Ice-blue cold air gradually rose, and the golden Six-Pointed Star Wheel at the top of the staff became even more radiant.

As for Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin on the side, they held their breath, watching this scene quietly without saying a word.

As time passed, the starlight gradually converged.

The Star Wheel Ice Staff in Xu Xiaoyan's hand actually shed its ice-blue chill, gradually transforming into a staff condensed from starlight.

And the moment the transformation of the Star Wheel Ice Staff was complete, a certain intuition suddenly rose in Xu Yue's heart.

No, this is not the same as the situation with Sister Mu Xi.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and a guess surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that Xu Xiaoyan and I really have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

A moment later, the Star of Eden retracted its starlight.

And Xu Xiaoyan's Star Wheel Ice Staff had completely transformed into a Star Staff.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yue asked.

"Classmate Xiaoyan, has your Martial Soul transformed into a Star Staff?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan nodded, but then shook her head.

Seeing this reaction, neither Xu Yue, nor Mu Xi, nor Ouyang Zixin understood.

They understood the nod, but they couldn't figure out the shake of the head.

Soon, Xu Xiaoyan explained.

"My Martial Soul has indeed transformed into a Star Staff, but the Ice Staff has not disappeared."

As she spoke, she moved her thoughts, and the staff in her hand, condensed from starlight, instantly vanished.

Replacing it was a staff condensed from ice.

The staff body had no trace of starlight, looking exactly the same as the ice staff Martial Soul inherited by the Xu Clan.

"This......" Ouyang Zixin's eyes widened instantly; she felt like an uneducated idiot, her mind a complete blank. "Does this count as Twin Martial Souls?"

"No..." Xu Xiaoyan shook her head: "The two Martial Souls share the same Soul Ring, but because the Martial Souls are different, the Soul Skills will also have slight changes."

"Moreover, the two Martial Souls can only be switched once in a short period of time."

"So that's how it is!" Xu Yue nodded gently.

At this moment, Mu Xi finally couldn't help but speak.

"A-Yue, since we're done with everything, let's head home quickly. Otherwise, my mom is going to get worried."

The premonition in her heart grew stronger and stronger; she felt that if she let things continue to develop, she would witness something she found impossible to accept.

Yet, no sooner had the thought crossed her mind than reality immediately confirmed it.

Xu Yue looked at Mu Xi with a hint of apology and spoke:

"I'm sorry, Mu Xi, but I'm afraid it will take a little more time. Student Xu Xiaoyan and I might actually have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

As he spoke, he reached his hand out toward Xu Xiaoyan.

"Student Xiaoyan, you must have felt it too, right? Do you want to give it a try?"

However, just as he was asking for Xu Xiaoyan's opinion, he failed to notice Mu Xi, who was standing a few steps away, the moment she heard him say those words.

Those golden eyes, once as brilliant as the Radiant Sun, froze instantly.

She stared blankly at Xu Yue's figure, her eyes devoid of any luster, as if her soul had been drawn out.

"Martial... Fusion Skill?!"

Every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent knew exactly what those three words represented.

On the other side, after obtaining Xu Xiaoyan's consent, Xu Yue led her to an open space in the distance.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan spoke softly: "Class monitor, I feel like... both forms of my martial soul seem to have a certain connection to you."

"Is that so?" Xu Yue thought for a moment. "Since you are currently using the Ice Staff, let's test that first."

With that, he took Xu Xiaoyan's hand.

Perhaps because of the Ice Staff, her hand felt somewhat cold.

"Slowly channel your soul power to me first, and let's see if we can initiate the fusion."

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Xu Xiaoyan nodded quickly; she was also looking forward to what would happen next.

Soon, Xu Yue felt a touch of coolness coming from his palm.

He also timely urged the soul power within his body to make careful contact.

In an instant, two different types of soul power—one icy and one heavy—began to collide and blend between their hands.

As a thread of black and white intertwined soul power emerged between their hands, this force seemed to have found its home.

It rapidly circulated between their bodies, beginning to assimilate the soul power within each of them!

Gradually, wisps of black and white soul power began to rise from the ground.

They converged into a strange ball of light, woven from deep black and freezing white, completely enveloping their figures.

At the same time, something else changed.

The clear summer sky actually began to twinkle with tiny, faint, yet visible starlight.

A breeze blew, and crystalline snowflakes drifted through the air, while the park ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

The next moment.

BOOM!

An aura comparable to that of a Soul Elder erupted from the black and white ball of light, spreading in all directions!

As the light dissipated, the figure of an adult woman appeared before the eyes of Mu Xi and Ouyang Zixin.

The woman hovered above the ground, her facial features appearing incredibly beautiful, yet they remained indistinct, constantly veiled by a layer of hazy starlight.

A cascade of long, silver-white hair fell like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint glow.

She wore a blue and white dress interwoven with ice patterns, the hem blooming like icicles, with frost and mist swirling around her.

Holding an Ice Crystal staff, her tall figure resembled an Ice Goddess born from a freezing meteor, yet she radiated an aura of heavy, majestic power.

Martial Soul Fusion Skill...

Herrscher of Ice, descend!!!
