The Benefits of Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill Training

Meeting Tang San's gaze, Ye Chen offered a faint smile, a gesture of greeting.

However, that smile felt like a blockage in Tang San's chest, and a sense of desolation instantly swept over him.

Ever since his three crushing defeats in their sparring matches, Ye Chen had become an indelible shadow in his heart; he could still clearly recall the feeling of utter powerlessness from being completely suppressed.

But in just an instant, that desolation was replaced by determination. Tang San relaxed his body and mind, shifting from a state of vigilance back to his usual calm.

He didn't believe his mental fortitude was that fragile; he would simply stand up from wherever he had fallen.

Since he had lost to Ye Chen three times, wouldn't he be even if he beat him three times in the future?

It was for this reason that, upon enrolling, he had specifically taken a master named Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.

This master had seen at a glance that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, proving he had a profound understanding of martial souls.

With this master guiding his cultivation of the Blue Silver Grass, he would not only avoid many detours but also fully unleash the potential of his Blue Silver Grass.

Once he added his First Soul Ring to the Blue Silver Grass, he would have to challenge Ye Chen to another spar.

This time, he would wash away his past shame!

As these thoughts settled, a look of certainty flashed in Tang San's eyes. Just then, a crisp voice rang out from behind him, "Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"

Tang San turned to look and discovered the speaker was a young girl.

She appeared to be only six years old, with large, sparkling eyes that held a hint of liveliness. She looked playful and cute, with a long black scorpion braid atop her head, a rabbit-ear hairpin, and a very neat little pink outfit.

It wasn't just Tang San; Wang Sheng and the other roommates were also instantly stunned. How could such a cute girl come to Dorm Seven?

"Excuse me, may I come in?" the girl asked, looking at Tang San.

"Yes." With a nod, Tang San hurriedly walked into the dormitory to make way.

The girl followed him inside, hands behind her back, her curious gaze sweeping over Wang Sheng and the others before she noticed that Ye Chen's look toward her was a bit strange.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" the girl asked.

Ye Chen shook his head. "Nothing. Seeing you reminds me of something delicious."

"What delicious thing?" the girl pressed.

Ye Chen didn't reply, burying his head back into the Soul Beast Manual.

"How strange. We didn't have a single work-study student for the past few years, but three have come this year." Wang Sheng looked at the incoming Tang San and the girl, asking, "Hey, newcomers, what are your names? What are your martial souls, and what is your Innate Soul Power?"

Walking up to Wang Sheng, Tang San said indifferently, "Hello, my name is Tang San. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I have Innate Full Soul Power."

The girl didn't answer Wang Sheng's question directly, instead smiling mysteriously. "I also have Innate Full Soul Power, but my martial soul isn't Blue Silver Grass. On the contrary, Blue Silver Grass is the food for my martial soul."

"Ah?" Wang Sheng's eyes went round, his face full of disbelief. "You—you both have Innate Full Soul Power?"

"Is that strange?" The girl blinked her large eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her face as she said boldly, "My name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance. My martial soul is a rabbit. A very cute little white rabbit."

Wang Sheng gave a mischievous smile. "So, your martial soul is food for all of us?"

"Rabbits are so cute, how can you eat them!" Xiao Wu immediately put her hands on her hips, glaring at Wang Sheng indignantly. "What is your name?"

"My name is Wang Sheng. A sixth-year student, my martial soul is a Battle Tiger." As he spoke, Wang Sheng looked at the other roommates in the dorm, introducing their names and martial souls one by one.

When his gaze landed on Ye Chen's bed, Wang Sheng's tone became a bit more respectful. "And that is Ye Chen. He is also a work-study student this year, and like you, he has Innate Full Soul Power."

"Furthermore, Ye Chen is the dorm head and boss of Dorm Seven. We all call him Boss Ye. The Torchic sitting on his bed is his martial soul."

Hearing Wang Sheng's introduction, Xiao Wu was surprised to find that the cute yet fierce golden-yellow chick sitting on the bed wasn't a doll, but a martial soul?

Could a beast martial soul leave its host's body and live like a soul beast?

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu shifted her gaze from the Torchic to Ye Chen, saying with pleasant surprise, "So you're the dorm boss? Being the boss sounds like fun. What do I have to do to become the dorm boss?"

Before Ye Chen could speak, Wang Sheng chimed in, "According to dorm rules, every new work-study student must fight the boss. Whoever wins becomes the new boss."

"That makes it easy!" Xiao Wu put her left hand on her waist and hooked her right index finger at Ye Chen, who was sitting on the bed reading, shouting with full confidence, "You, get off the bed! I want to fight you!"

Ye Chen didn't even lift his head, dismissing her while reading, "Not fighting. If you want to fight, get on my bed. I'm too lazy to go down."

"Fine, I'll get on! Who's afraid of who!" As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu jumped onto Ye Chen's bed, saying with some excitement, "Alright, I'm on your bed now. Let's start!"

Ye Chen looked up and glanced at Xiao Wu, his eyes calm. After slowly placing the Soul Beast Manual on the head of the bed, he stood up to face her, the atmosphere becoming tense and ready for a clash.

Tang San, Wang Sheng, and the others below the bed were caught off guard. Were these two really going to fight on the bed?

"Are you sure you want to fight? I don't know how to go easy on a girl." Ye Chen warned.

"Less talk, take this kick!"

As she spoke, Xiao Wu's right foot lashed out, her toe carrying a sharp gust of wind as she kicked rapidly toward Ye Chen's shoulder.

Ye Chen didn't dodge or retreat. He instantly released his Body Martial Soul, his soul power quietly circulating. As a powerful aura erupted from his body, he unleashed a side-palm strike that slammed directly into Xiao Wu's abdomen.

"Piplup—" The Torchic also leaped into the air at that moment, its small body twisting nimbly in mid-air as it delivered a precise back-spinning kick to Xiao Wu's shoulder.

One person and one bird, a palm and a kick—there was no verbal communication, yet their coordination was flawless.

Before Xiao Wu's right foot could even touch Ye Chen, she was sent flying ten meters back, crashing against the wall with a "bang" before falling to the floor.

This scene left Wang Sheng, Tang San, and the others watching from below frozen, unable to help but gasp.

Wang Sheng's mouth hung open as he couldn't help but mutter, "Damn... Boss Ye is too ruthless, isn't he? He really doesn't know how to go easy on a girl?"

However, including Wang Sheng and the other roommates, even Tang San did not know that Ye Chen had only circulated thirty percent of his soul power just now; the side-push palm he used was intended to knock the opponent back, not to injure her.

The back-spinning kick used by Torchic also lacked the enhancements of Scratch and Focus Energy, so the damage Xiao Wu sustained was not significant; after falling to the ground, she quickly stood up, completely unharmed.

"Alright, let's stop here. Let's call it a day. If you still want to fight, come back after you have obtained your First Soul Ring, and I will certainly accompany you then."

After speaking, Ye Chen and Torchic sat back down on the bed; the movements of the man and the chicken were almost identical, as if they had entered some kind of synchronized state.

This inadvertently revealed rapport was clearly the benefit of the man and the chicken frequently practicing their "Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill" together.

Seeing Ye Chen sitting on the bed flipping through the Soul Beast Manual and ignoring her, Xiao Wu felt both angry and annoyed, unable to help but stomp her foot.

After the exchange just now, she realized that she was not yet Ye Chen's match, let alone the fact that this person possessed a chicken martial soul that looked round and silly but fought so fiercely.

For now, she could only wait until she condensed her First Soul Ring before fighting again.

"Fine. Ye Chen, you just wait. Once I have my First Soul Ring, see how I deal with you; the position of Dorm Seven boss will definitely be mine!"

After saying this huffily, Xiao Wu brushed the dust off her body and walked toward an empty bed.

Ye Chen merely glanced at Xiao Wu indifferently and did not pay any mind to the harsh words she had left behind; the priority right now was to read more of the Soul Beast Manual and learn more about soul beasts to be fully prepared for tomorrow's Soul Hunting Operation.
