Liu Erlong Challenges Them? Shui Bing'er Suppresses a Laugh as the Ice Flame Divine Phoenix Matches a Titled Douluo?

On the other side, outside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

"Yan'er, Bing'er, there's no need to rush our trip to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Feeling the surging Soul Power within him, Azure Luan Douluo said in a low voice:

"I just broke through to Level 98. My Soul Power is still a little unsettled, and I need to stabilize my realm.

Let's head to Heaven Dou City and find a place to rest for a day. We'll set out properly tomorrow."

Huang Yan nodded in agreement:

"We'll do as you say, Teacher.

As it happens, I have a few things I'd like to do while we're resting."

"Oh?

What is it?"

Azure Luan Douluo asked casually.

Huang Yan turned to Shui Bing'er beside him. A glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes as he smiled and said:

"Bing'er, once we reach Heaven Dou City, while Teacher is in seclusion stabilizing his realm, how about we find somewhere deserted outside the city and have a little spar?"

Shui Bing'er was quick-witted and immediately understood. She asked softly:

"Are you hoping to try out... our Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"Exactly."

Huang Yan chuckled and nodded.

"My Ultimate Fire, combined with your Ultimate Ice.

If these two Ultimate Attributes fully fuse, I really want to see with my own eyes just how powerful this Martial Soul Fusion Skill can be!"

Shui Bing'er was just as eager to try. She nodded without hesitation:

"Good. I was thinking the same thing.

I want to know what kind of transformation the ultimate collision of ice and fire will bring about."

Listening to them, Azure Luan Douluo stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, excellent!

Even I'm curious about a Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire.

Once I've stabilized my realm, I'll personally stand guard for you two Little Monsters. This will be quite a sight!"

With that settled, Azure Luan Douluo took the two of them with him, and the three streaked straight toward Heaven Dou City.

On a vast, empty stretch of wilderness outside Heaven Dou City.

After lunch, Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er left the city together and arrived at this deserted spot.

They stood facing each other. Without wasting words, they simultaneously roused the Soul Power within them.

"Boom—"

The auras of Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice erupted at once. Two terrifying, opposing streams of energy, one red and one blue, shot into the sky.

Five Soul Rings slowly rose beneath Huang Yan's feet, their dazzling lights reflecting off one another.

Just as the two were about to attempt their Martial Soul Fusion Skill—

A startled shout suddenly came from the edge of the nearby woods:

"What a kid!

A Five-Ring Soul King at such a young age?!"

The two paused and turned to look.

A woman in a fitted outfit strode toward them, her figure strikingly voluptuous.

It was Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong stared at the five Soul Rings beneath Huang Yan, her face full of disbelief.

Then a feverish fighting spirit kindled in her eyes:

"I've been in Heaven Dou City for ages, and I've never seen a Little Monster with talent this monstrous!

Kid, I'm itching for a fight. How about you spar with me?"

Huang Yan was taken aback and hadn't even had time to answer when Liu Erlong continued, bold and carefree:

"I heard you talking just now about trying out some Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

Perfect. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll be your sparring partner!

Use that Martial Soul Fusion Skill of yours on me. Come at me with everything you've got and let me see just how powerful it is!"

At that, Shui Bing'er's expression turned rather strange.

Back in Spirit City, the power of her and Huang Yan's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had already been comparable to that of a Soul Douluo.

At the time, Shui Bing'er and Huang Yan had only just reached Soul Ancestor and Soul King, respectively.

And that was before their respective attributes had transformed into Ultimate Attributes.

There was no doubt its power had increased tremendously.

It had surely reached the level of a Soul Douluo's full-force strike, perhaps even approaching that of a Titled Douluo!

Yet the hot-tempered senior before them gave off an aura that, at most, belonged to a Soul Saint.

A Soul Saint was asking to take their Martial Soul Fusion Skill head-on?

Shui Bing'er suppressed the smile tugging at her lips as she looked Liu Erlong up and down, then asked softly:

"Senior... are you sure you want us to use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill against you?

Are you serious?"

Liu Erlong frowned. She found the pretty young girl's words baffling.

She was a Soul Saint, after all. Surely she could handle a couple of kids' moves?

Impatiently, Liu Erlong waved a hand and urged them loudly:

"Why are you wasting time?

I said I'd be your sparring partner, and I meant it!

Stop dawdling and get on with it. Let me see what you can really do!"

Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er exchanged a smile.

Since the senior was so confident, they couldn't very well refuse.

They stood side by side and clasped hands tightly.

"Radiant Phoenix!"

"Ice Phoenix!"

With two clear cries, a huge golden Phoenix and a huge blue Phoenix surged into the sky behind them.

At that very moment, the nonchalance on Liu Erlong's face froze. She suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait!

This kid's Soul Power aura... Level 60?!"

Liu Erlong's eyes widened as she stared fixedly at Huang Yan.

The kid only had five Soul Rings, so how could his Soul Power fluctuations have already reached the Quasi-Soul Emperor realm at Level 60?!

And he was definitely under twenty!

A Quasi-Soul Emperor under twenty?!

Liu Erlong abruptly turned to look at Shui Bing'er, and a storm surged in her heart:

"This girl looks even younger than him, yet her Soul Power is already at Level 50?!

A Quasi-Soul King?!"

But Liu Erlong was given no more time to be shocked.

In midair, the Radiant Phoenix and Ice Phoenix had already completely merged.

The Ultimate Light Fire and Ultimate Ice fit together perfectly, without the slightest rejection.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Ice Flame Divine Phoenix!"

At Huang Yan and Shui Bing'er's unified cry,

a stunning Phoenix clad in icy-blue feathers, yet wreathed in brilliant golden divine flames, descended in an instant!

The Evil Fire Phoenix had transformed into the Radiant Phoenix.

Along with it, the Ice Flame Divine Phoenix's form and aura had changed drastically.

"Boom—!"

As the fusion succeeded, the Ice Flame Divine Phoenix's aura surged.

Soul Power pressure poured down like a landslide.

"H-how is this possible?!"

Feeling the suffocating pressure, Liu Erlong's face turned deathly pale, and her voice went shrill:

"This pressure... it's actually approaching that of a Titled Douluo?!

How could a Martial Soul Fusion Skill from a Quasi-Soul Emperor and a Quasi-Soul King possibly rival a Titled Douluo?!"

But Liu Erlong had no time to think it over.

In midair, Huang Yan controlled the Ice Flame Divine Phoenix. It beat its wings and dived straight toward Liu Erlong.

"Senior, watch out!"

Huang Yan's voice came from above, tinged with amusement.

"Damn it!

I got cocky!"

Liu Erlong cursed under her breath. She didn't dare hold anything back; Soul Power burst from her body without restraint as she roared at the sky:

"Fire Dragon, possess me!"
