The moment Su Chen's Soul Power came into contact with that clump of blood.
The previously calm blood clump trembled slightly.
Immediately afterward, a trace of Bloodline Soul Power contained within Liu Erlong's blood showed no resistance at all as it actively entwined with Su Chen's Soul Power.
At this sight, a ripple finally appeared in Su Chen's otherwise calm eyes.
"Just as I thought."
He spoke softly, the corners of his lips slowly curving upward.
He had encountered similar situations in past experiments.
If two people were related by blood, or if the origins of their Martial Souls were extremely close, there was a certain chance that their Bloodline Soul Powers could merge.
In the Soul Master world, this phenomenon had a more common name.
Martial Soul Fusion.
At the thought, the light in Su Chen's eyes brightened.
Although he had always known of Martial Soul Fusion, he had never truly studied it in depth.
The reason was simple.
He had lacked suitable test subjects.
Nor had he ever had the chance to personally experience the changes that occurred during such a fusion.
But now, things were different.
Liu Erlong's arrival gave him the means to begin the experiment.
Thinking of this, Su Chen even wanted to go to the next room right away.
But as soon as the thought arose, he forcibly suppressed it.
Meanwhile.
Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong had also finished washing up and lay down on the bed together.
The lamplight in the room was dim.
A faint floral fragrance still lingered in the air.
Liu Erlong turned onto her side and looked at Bibi Dong beside her, but in the end, she could not suppress her curiosity.
"Dong'er."
"You've known Su Chen for so long."
"Can you tell me what kind of person he really is?"
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Then, her bright eyes filled with excitement.
Ordinarily, one of her favorite things to do was tell others just how remarkable Su Chen was.
Now that Liu Erlong had taken the initiative to ask, how could she hold herself back?
"If you're asking that, then I'm not sleepy anymore."
Bibi Dong sat up at once.
Liu Erlong could not help but pause when she saw her like this.
Then she heard Bibi Dong begin to speak at length.
"Do you know?"
"Su Chen didn't have any Soul Power at all in the past."
"Forget cultivation. Back then, everyone thought he could only ever be an ordinary person."
"But he refused to accept his fate."
"He relied on himself, feeling his way forward bit by bit and researching bit by bit, until he finally carved out a path no one had ever walked."
"Later, he even shattered his own Martial Soul with his own hands."
Liu Erlong's eyes widened slightly at those words.
"Shatter a Martial Soul?"
"Isn't that suicide?"
Bibi Dong nodded heavily.
"But he made it through."
"And after that, he truly developed a cultivation method different from traditional Martial Soul cultivation."
By this point, Bibi Dong's tone carried a trace of pride.
After that, Bibi Dong continued talking without pause, eventually even taking out the Twin Martial Souls cultivation manual Su Chen had written specifically for her.
Liu Erlong listened silently.
At first, she was merely curious.
But as she kept listening, her expression gradually changed.
From curiosity to shock.
Then from shock to being deeply moved.
She suddenly understood why Bibi Dong, as the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, cared so much about Su Chen.
Liu Erlong's impression of Su Chen quietly changed as well.
At first, there had only been an inexplicable sense of closeness.
But now, that closeness clearly carried an indescribable fondness.
Gradually, the night deepened.
Their voices slowly grew softer.
Eventually, the room fell completely silent.
Nothing was said for the rest of the night.
The next morning.
After getting up, the three quickly found seats downstairs and began eating a simple breakfast.
At the table, Bibi Dong drank hot porridge as she looked up at Su Chen.
"Where are we going next?"
Su Chen gently shook his head at her question.
"We're not leaving yet."
"I want to stay in this city for a while."
Bibi Dong was immediately stunned by his words.
Over the past half year, they had almost constantly been on the road.
This was the first time they would be staying in the same city for an extended period.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Bibi Dong asked in confusion.
Su Chen did not answer immediately.
Instead, Su Chen turned to look at Liu Erlong, who was sitting beside him.
Feeling Su Chen's gaze, Liu Erlong was slightly startled as well.
The next moment, Su Chen spoke calmly.
"Last night, while studying your blood, I accidentally discovered something."
"Our Bloodline Soul Powers can merge."
At those words.
Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong both froze almost simultaneously.
The two women exchanged glances, both with confusion in their eyes.
Clearly, neither understood what Su Chen meant at first.
Seeing their reactions, Su Chen phrased it in a more understandable way.
"Put simply."
"You and I should have the potential for Martial Soul Fusion."
"So, I plan to remain in Suotuo City for the time being and get to the bottom of this."
As soon as his words fell.
The table immediately went silent.
Liu Erlong stared blankly at Su Chen, her eyes filled with shock.
Naturally, she knew what a Martial Soul Fusion Skill meant. It was a secret technique that could break through a Soul Master's rank limits and easily allow one to fight across ranks!
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, stood frozen in place.
When she came back to her senses, an indescribable sourness rose in her heart.
At the thought that Su Chen could actually achieve Martial Soul Fusion with Liu Erlong.
While she could not.
She could not stop herself from feeling stifled.
If only I could achieve Martial Soul Fusion with Su Chen too...
But after only a moment, Bibi Dong cast aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
It's a good thing the one who can achieve Martial Soul Fusion with Su Chen is Liu Erlong. If it were another woman, that would be troublesome!
Liu Erlong is my good sister. At least she won't try to steal Su Chen from me, right?
At that thought, the little jealousy in Bibi Dong's heart instantly vanished, even turning into relief.
At this moment, outside the Sky Screen, within the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong's expression also darkened bit by bit as she watched this scene.
As long as Yu Xiaogang was not involved, she still had her wits about her. As an observer, she could clearly see Liu Erlong's fondness for Su Chen within the Sky Screen.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong could not help but stare fiercely at Liu Erlong within the Sky Screen, cursing inwardly.
"Damn it!"
"Could this Female Tyrannosaurus be trying to oppose me in that other world too?"
Though she never acknowledged that the woman in the Sky Screen was herself.
That did not stop her from feeling displeased when she saw that version of herself finally getting close to Su Chen, only for Liu Erlong to suddenly intervene.
Seeing this inevitably reminded her of how Yu Xiaogang had gotten involved with Liu Erlong after leaving her.
At that thought, Bibi Dong's expression grew even uglier.
