String Fox Phantom Bow, Celestial Fox Moon-Chasing Arrow

On the Fighting Soul Arena, Xiao Chen executed Shadow Step Dash, rapidly closing in on Hu Liena.

Hu Liena was about to let Xiao Chen admit defeat, but the moment their eyes met, an inexplicable yet deeply familiar feeling suddenly surged through her heart.

That feeling was both ethereal and real, like a destined pull from the unseen, spreading through her body along their gaze, causing the demon fox martial soul within her to tremble faintly, generating a very intimate soul resonance and martial soul harmony.

Hu Liena knew this feeling all too well—it was exactly what she experienced when performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her brother, Xie Yue.

And now, she could clearly sense that the soul connection and martial soul resonance between her and Xiao Chen were even more compatible than what she shared with Xie Yue, as if they were naturally made for each other.

"Senior Sister!"

Still somewhat dazed, Hu Liena suddenly heard Xiao Chen's voice.

She focused her gaze and saw that Xiao Chen had already arrived before her.

Without a moment's hesitation, her right hand naturally rested on the lower half of Xiao Chen's Wooden Bow martial soul.

The two stood side by side, left and right, pulling the bowstring together.

A low, ethereal vibration rang out from the bow body and string as Hu Liena's demon fox martial soul transformed into a streak of pink light, converging into Xiao Chen's Wooden Bow martial soul.

The once plain and unadorned broken wooden bow underwent a sudden transformation—its body glowed with a soft, wooden grain radiance, fox spirit and wood essence intertwined, a hazy, phantom aura slowly spreading outward, accompanied by a faint, elusive demon fox silhouette.

Now, the wooden bow flowed with a clear, warm luster, its form elegant and graceful, agile and unmatched, exuding an ethereal, immortal quality.

The moment Xiao Chen and Hu Liena drew the bowstring, layers of hazy pink glow rippled between the bow and string, soft and charming pink light spilling and drifting outward, carrying a faint fox spirit charm—dizzying, lingering, and captivating.

The Illusory Vines that had already spread across half the arena, upon touching the pink light, unexpectedly bloomed with faint red flowers.

The opposing Control System soul master suddenly realized she could no longer control the spreading Illusory Vines.

Even more alarming, those Illusory Vines that had blossomed with red flowers reversed their direction, coiling back toward her along their original path.

She immediately leaped and dashed to evade, while pouring all her power into her own Illusory Vines to intercept these rebelling vines.

But the moment they touched, she was horrified to find that her control over the Illusory Vines had been stripped away once again.

In just a few moments, she was tightly bound by the rebelling vines, firmly trapped in place, unable to move an inch.

As for the Agility Attack System soul master, who had been chasing Xiao Chen the entire time, he had no chance to retreat and was directly enveloped by the pink light. In an instant, his eyes glazed over into a dazed state.

Looking back at the edge of the Fighting Soul Arena, Xiao Chen and Hu Liena stood quietly, their postures steady as an abyss.

Both maintained a fully drawn bow stance, a condensed soul power arrow hovering above the bow body, its tip flowing with pink glow, its shaft radiating a soul power fluctuation that made one's heart tremble.

That soul power arrow, held back and not yet released, already made many Soul King experts in the audience sense danger.

"It's a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" someone exclaimed in shock, instantly igniting the entire venue.

Xiao Chen and Hu Liena had been winning consecutive battles in the Great Soul Arena over the past few days, each match clean and swift, building up immense popularity.

Now, with their sudden display of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the atmosphere in the arena soared to its peak, and their popularity skyrocketed to the extreme, drawing roaring cheers from the entire audience.

Without even needing to release the arrow, the spiritual field generated by their Martial Soul Fusion Skill alone had knocked two Soul Ancestors at level forty-eight unconscious, making the outcome clear in an instant.

Watching from the sidelines, Xie Yue and Yan were stunned, especially Xie Yue, who never imagined that Hu Liena and Xiao Chen could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

In that moment, Xie Yue felt an emptiness in his heart, as if something important was finally slipping away from him.

The news of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill appearing in the Great Soul Arena spread quickly, but fortunately, this was Martial Soul City. The Martial Soul Hall suppressed the matter immediately, preventing it from spreading further.

Inside the Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Xie Yue, and Yan all stared intently at Xiao Chen and Hu Liena.

Under normal circumstances, those who could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill either had naturally compatible martial souls or had grown up together, spent every day side by side, trained together for years, and honed their minds and synchronized their soul power over time, eventually achieving a chance resonance that triggered martial soul harmony.

But Xiao Chen and Hu Liena had only known each other for a short half-month, with few days of interaction. They had neither the bond of growing up together nor the long-term training side by side.

Yet, despite being newly acquainted, the two could generate such a powerful martial soul resonance.

The compatibility of their martial soul fusion was even higher than that between Xie Yue, who had grown up with Hu Liena since childhood, and his sister.

This matter was too bizarre and unbelievable. Even Bibi Dong and the two Titled Douluos, who had witnessed countless strange phenomena across the continent, couldn't help but be inwardly moved, their eyes filled with astonishment.

If Xiao Chen and Hu Liena had felt each other's martial soul resonance the moment they first met, Bibi Dong wouldn't have been this surprised.

After all, among the countless martial souls in the world, there were naturally compatible ones, fated to be connected from the start.

But Xiao Chen and Hu Liena had spent half a month together without any sign of it, and then suddenly, they could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill—how could they not be shocked?

"Xiao Chen, Nana, perform the Martial Soul Fusion again for your teacher to see!" Bibi Dong spoke.

"Yes."

The two responded, then performed the Martial Soul Fusion once more inside the Martial Soul Hall.

But this time, Xiao Chen deliberately released both of his martial souls, putting on a display of a Trinity Martial Soul Fusion for Bibi Dong and the others.

Hu Liena was a bit flustered at first when she saw Xiao Chen release two martial souls, but she quickly realized that her own martial soul resonated with both of Xiao Chen's. She immediately relaxed and completed the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion with him.

"String Fox Phantom Bow, Celestial Fox Moon-Chasing Arrow!"

Xiao Chen called out softly; the name of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill came from the system.

"So strong—this soul power fluctuation could probably threaten a level sixty Soul Emperor!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo exclaimed in admiration, then pointed at Ghost Douluo and said, "Give Elder Ghost a shot to test its strength!"

"Alright!" Ghost Douluo nodded, but quickly reacted, "Hey, old Chrysanthemum, why not take the shot yourself!"

"Stop testing. Disperse the Martial Soul Fusion," Bibi Dong said.

She understood all too well that executing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill came at a tremendous cost.

With ordinary dual Martial Soul Fusion Skills, it was all too easy to overdraw Spirit Power afterward, leaving the body completely drained, and a single misstep could even invite backlash.

Let alone the fact that Xiao Chen and Hu Liena were currently driving an even rarer Triple Martial Soul Fusion—she had no desire to see her two precious disciples get hurt.

Xiao Chen and Hu Liena nodded, then dissolved the Martial Soul Fusion.

Bibi Dong kept her focus locked on the state of the two.

And then she noticed that Xiao Chen and Hu Liena's breathing was steady, their expressions composed, and the flow of Spirit Power around them showed not the slightest sign of disorder—none of the exhaustion or collapse that should follow unleashing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
