"Teacher Wu, my invisibility isn't visual camouflage."
"It's the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, leaving behind a decoy to draw fire."
"No matter how hard you search, all you'll find is the decoy."
Ji Fengyu stood less than ten meters to Wu Zhangkong's left.
He showed no hostility, fighting spirit, or any other emotion, so Wu Zhangkong's sharp instincts wouldn't pick up on him.
He didn't even deliberately look at Wu Zhangkong. Like a bystander, he had vanished completely from the scene,
waiting for Wu Zhangkong to make his next move.
Twin Martial Souls couldn't be used at the same time. He'd already used Snake Molting to trigger Dragon Clan's Fury,
so all Ji Fengyu had to do was find an opportunity to switch back to the Rainbow Dragon and renew the boosts for everyone. That alone would give Wu Zhangkong a hard time.
Whoosh!
Wu Zhangkong decisively gave up searching for Ji Fengyu. Stepping with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he moved as fast as a ghost, heading straight for Gu Yue and Lan Xuanyu at the rear.
If he couldn't find Ji Fengyu,
he could only take out the two in the back row.
"Red, orange!"
The moment Wu Zhangkong stepped away,
Ji Fengyu emerged from invisibility, switched back to the Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul, and beat his wings to soar into the air, renewing the boosts to strength and attack.
Tang Wulin and the others immediately pounced on Wu Zhangkong like tigers and wolves.
Clang!!!
But Wu Zhangkong's sword was faster, heading straight for Lan Xuanyu. He was about to take out the support—
when the Heavenly Frost Sword got stuck against the outside of the Ascending Dragon Pillar, unable to advance an inch.
The pillar was absurdly hard.
Even with Wu Zhangkong's Soul Power unleashed to the Soul King level, he still couldn't cut through it.
"Hehe."
Lan Xuanyu, hiding inside the Ascending Dragon Pillar, gave a playful smile.
With all seven members present, her Ascending Dragon Pillar was practically indestructible!
"Can't take this one out either?"
Wu Zhangkong furrowed his sword-like brows. With no other choice, he abandoned Lan Xuanyu and went after Gu Yue instead.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Gu Yue flashed back and forth,
darting straight into the ranks of Tang Wulin and the others, the four members of the Power Attack System.
Looking at these four iron men,
Wu Zhangkong could only sigh helplessly.
With his strength limited to the Soul King level, he didn't dare charge in and fight all four at once!
Actually, Wu Zhangkong still had an overwhelming advantage in speed, which meant he was practically guaranteed not to lose.
If he wanted, he could easily keep all seven of them running in circles.
But that would defeat the purpose of testing the students' limits, so Wu Zhangkong decided to meet them head-on!
"Heavenly Frost Slash!"
Wu Zhangkong stopped trying to deal with the three in the back row.
He unleashed his third Soul Skill, condensing a blue ice sword more than ten meters long and attacking head-on!
He also stopped suppressing his aura and let it show—
a Six-Ring Soul Emperor!!!
Wu Zhangkong was going all out.
"Xie Xie, Jin Xi!"
In the mental communication channel, Ji Fengyu immediately gave the order.
Connected by the Ascending Dragon Pillars,
his thoughts were transmitted to Wang Xie with precision and speed. Without the slightest hesitation,
the two immediately clasped hands!
Whoosh!
What happened next made Wu Zhangkong's eyelids twitch wildly.
Connected by the Ascending Dragon Pillars and supported by the Rainbow Dragon, Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul auras actually fused perfectly!
This was... a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
That was right. Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi's Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
They shared a dorm with Ji Fengyu and Tang Wulin and watched the two cultivate Golden Wind Power every day.
They'd been itching to try it themselves, so they'd followed suit and given it a go.
And it had actually worked!
What Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi didn't know was—
they'd succeeded because their Martial Souls had originally belonged to the same person!
On top of that, they'd been influenced by Ji Fengyu and Tang Wulin's auras, giving them an exceptionally high affinity!
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark, Light and Dark Storm!"
How terrifying could the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark's Martial Soul Fusion be?
Wu Zhangkong had never heard of it,
but he was about to find out.
As the ultimate energies of light and darkness fused, even Ji Fengyu and the others gave way, leaving the stage to Wang Xie.
The two fused into something like a Yin-Yang Fish Energy Sphere,
two forms of light and darkness,
each containing the other.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!
Then, black-and-white swallows shot out of the energy sphere, one after another.
The black parts of the swallows were the Dark Holy Dragon's power of darkness; the white parts were the Holy Light Dragon's power of light.
Every swallow was a perfect fusion of light and darkness!
Swallows Before the Wang-Xie Hall seemed almost alive. They crashed into Heavenly Frost Slash on their own, then pursued Wu Zhangkong.
Boom, boom, boom, boom—
A flurry of explosive impacts erupted.
In an instant, the blue ice sword, more than ten meters long, was completely worn away.
The flock of swallows remained active, and Wu Zhangkong could barely keep up with them.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Frost Whisper Ice Wheel!"
Driven into a corner, Wu Zhangkong unleashed his strongest attacking Soul Skill.
Nine ice wheels spun out,
the icy wind sharp as blades!
The Soul Emperor's strongest strike was indeed fearsome. The Swallows Before the Wang-Xie Hall created by the two were swept away!
Though Wu Zhangkong had taken a beating, he was quite pleased.
Another Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
As expected of the two Holy Dragons who both came from Long Yeyue. They really delivered—and even had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
Their affinity was so high, too. A perfect fusion!
It was just a little strange that Long Yeyue didn't have a Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Could it be that the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark were harmful together, but beneficial apart?
"Good work, boys. Let's see how many more surprises you can bring me."
Wu Zhangkong gave a light sweep, knocking the exhausted Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi off the field. His fighting spirit soared.
After Long Bing's death, the passion that had lain dormant for years was surging through him again!
"Teacher Wu, are you sure you want to see?"
Ji Fengyu hesitated.
"Absolutely!"
Wu Zhangkong nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Put on your Battle Armor first."
Ji Fengyu gave a light cough, reminding him.
He was genuinely afraid of killing Wu Zhangkong...
"Hm?"
Put on his Battle Armor?
Wu Zhangkong thought it was a little strange, but he didn't let his guard down. He obediently put on his Battle Armor.
After all, even the Martial Soul Fusion Skill from Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi had taken his full strength to barely break.
It was safer to put on his Battle Armor.
He wanted to see what Ji Fengyu could do to him, a top-tier Soul Emperor wearing Two-Word Battle Armor.
"All right, Teacher Wu. Be careful!"
Ji Fengyu took a deep breath, stopped hesitating, and slowly descended into the group.
He held out his hand.
Thump, thump, thump...
Tang Wulin stood below, while Gu Yue, Na'er, and Lan Xuanyu stood above. The five piled their hands together.
Five strands of dragon power converged, and an overwhelmingly bright light burst forth!
In that instant,
Wu Zhangkong's scalp prickled, and an unprecedented sense of danger filled his heart.
Ji Fengyu and the others spoke in unison:
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Five Spirit Might, Five Dragon Kings!"
The moment the words fell,
BOOM!!!!
Wu Zhangkong didn't even have time to react. His vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.
Before losing consciousness,
Wu Zhangkong's mind was a numb, jumbled mess. A five-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
And a 100% perfect fusion?
What kind of joke was this?!
"Gah!!"
Wu Zhangkong climbed off the ground, aching all over. He rubbed his throbbing head and recalled what had just happened...
Was that the end of the world...
Thankfully, he'd worn his Battle Armor.
"Teacher Wu, are you all right?"
Ji Fengyu and the others crowded around him, looking a little nervous. When they saw he was awake, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do I look like I'm all right?"
Wu Zhangkong rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Then an idea struck him,
and he came up with a plan:
"The first lesson for Class Zero is for you to train at the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"But I don't think that's enough."
"Fortunately, the annual Riot Period is here. During the Riot Period, the Spirit Ascension Platform allows groups of up to seven."
"You seven should know what to do..."
