You Have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Gui Mei and the other two were incredibly curious. Everything here was far too real.

Even the flowers, grass, and trees felt exactly like the real thing. Anyone unaware of the truth would have thought this was truly Sunset Forest.

Xu Xiao plucked a leaf. "It really is exactly like the real thing."

Gui Mei said, "Big Brother, don't tell me you don't know what's going on?"

Xu Xiao smiled and shook his head. This was his martial soul; how could he possibly not know what was happening?

"You can think of this place as the memory space of the Wild Fallen Earth Python from my first Soul Ring!"

"Everything here is a simulated space recreated by my martial soul according to the python's memories."

"You will experience pain and death inside it as well, but death here is not real death."

"Once you die, you'll be sent out."

"Because these are its memories, any Soul Beasts the python encountered will appear here as well."

"For Second Brother and Third Brother, this is an excellent place to train. It may not increase the age of your Soul Rings, but it's still quite useful."

"And Fourth Brother, not only can you gain experience here, you can also raise the age of your first Soul Ring to six thousand years!"

The appearance of the Spirit Ascension Platform not only solved Xu Xiao's training problem, but also gave him an excellent site and unique feature for building a force in the future.

That was what Xu Xiao truly valued. Planning ahead was something he had to consider.

Since he wanted to dominate, he naturally needed the capital to do so.

However, Xu Xiao would only give this thing to people he trusted. Once their strength rose, it would become a place to cultivate prodigies.

Xu Xiao's words enlightened the three brothers. So that was what was going on; everything had become clear.

They had also realized the purpose of this space.

"Big Brother, this should be the first floor, right? Will the second floor be the same as this?" Gui Mei asked softly.

Xu Xiao said, "Naturally. The core principles remain the same, but the second floor has not yet been unlocked. Once I obtain my second Soul Ring, it will be."

They understood. Big Brother truly was Big Brother—he was always able to surprise them.

"Besides that, the cooldown of my soul skill has also been reduced by half."

"It originally increased by ninety days for every Soul Ring I obtained, but now it has become forty-five days!"

That was another pleasant surprise, and their expressions brightened again.

That meant the time needed for them to obtain Soul Rings had also been shortened. How could they not be happy?

Gui Mei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Right, Big Brother. When you were cultivating in that red-and-blue lake, what was going on with that dragon?"

Xu Xiao and the others sat down nearby. "Take a guess!"

The three looked at one another and thought for quite a while, yet they simply could not figure it out.

The corners of Xu Xiao's lips curled upward as he slowly rose. Red and blue light appeared around him, and the dragon on his chest seemed to sense his call.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, Xu Xiao's body became even more imposing.

"B-Big Brother... th-that's... all?"

Yue Guan scratched his head. Other than the dragon's roar and Big Brother looking somewhat more imposing, there did not seem to be anything else.

Could he only let out a dragon's roar?

It was not just Yue Guan. Gui Mei and Dugu Bo also looked at him curiously. There had to be more to it than that, right?

Xu Xiao smiled faintly. "This is my second martial soul: the Body Martial Soul, Dragon Body!"

"The martial soul is my body itself. Since it contains the presence of a dragon, I call it Dragon Body!"

A... second martial soul?

The three were so shocked that they immediately stood up. They circled Xu Xiao, carefully examining him from every angle.

"Big Brother... Twin Martial Souls. You actually have Twin Martial Souls."

The three did not blame Xu Xiao for keeping it from them. This matter was far too significant—so significant that even they would have concealed it themselves.

They also understood that if they had not seen it this time, Big Brother would likely only have revealed it after growing powerful enough.

They all waited for Xu Xiao to continue, but Xu Xiao had no intention of saying more.

"My three brothers, I have yet to properly develop my second martial soul. If I want to use it, I still need to explore it further."

"For now, I won't say much more. It's enough that you know I have a second martial soul!"

The three exchanged glances and naturally understood the importance of this. They would not speak of anything related to Xu Xiao, nor could they.

A common man was innocent, but possessing a treasure invited trouble. Dugu Bo understood that principle well. And as Xu Xiao's brothers, they naturally had to keep his secret.

Gui Mei took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself. "Big Brother, we understand!"

Xu Xiao naturally trusted them.

"Big Brother, let's go out. Once we help you obtain your second Soul Ring, we can come back here to train!"

Gui Mei suggested.

"That's right, Big Brother. You're already level twenty. It's time to hunt for a Soul Ring."

"Big Brother, if the three of us join forces, dealing with a thousand-year Soul Beast shouldn't be a problem."

The three had become somewhat overconfident. After absorbing the Immortal Herbs, they felt extraordinarily good. Dealing with a thousand-year Soul Beast seemed as easy as taking something from a bag.

They were floating. Completely floating.

Xu Xiao rejected their suggestion. "My three brothers, do you want ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, or Soul Rings of twenty thousand years or even higher?"

"Big Brother, do you even need to ask? Of course we want higher ones."

Dugu Bo did not even have a chance to speak before Yue Guan blurted it out.

Who would not want something better?

"Big Brother, Old Chrysanthemum said exactly what we were thinking. But right now, we can't defeat Soul Beasts over two thousand years old."

"Even if we want to, our strength doesn't allow it..."

Dugu Bo's words left the three somewhat dejected. The truth was often a sharp blade. With their strength, defeating a Soul Beast over two thousand years old was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Though they had gotten a little carried away, they still knew their own limits. If they worked hard, they might be able to handle a thousand-year Soul Beast, but anything over two thousand years old would be suicide.

Unless they used Chen Jianjun's little sword. But once they did, the Soul Beast would die, and Big Brother would not be able to absorb its Soul Ring.

Xu Xiao naturally knew their strength. But since he had brought it up, he naturally had a solution.

"What if you could immobilize the Soul Beast?" Xu Xiao asked.

The three did not understand. Immobilize a Soul Beast? How was that possible?

"Big Brother, don't joke around. Among us, Second Brother comes and goes without a trace, Old Chrysanthemum has stronger attack power, and my poison is very potent."

"None of us can immobilize a Soul Beast."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei strongly agreed with Dugu Bo's words.

"What if Second Brother and Third Brother have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

His words caused a huge stir. Dugu Bo looked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei in astonishment.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan also looked at each other.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? The two of us?

How did we not know that ourselves?

"Second Brother, Third Brother, neither of you needs to doubt it. The two of you truly possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Xu Xiao spoke with certainty.

What a joke. Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo—their Martial Soul Fusion Skill was at the Title Douluo level.

Although he did not know why Tang Hao had still managed to break through it, there was no denying that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of these two was powerful.

Now that the two had also been strengthened by Immortal Herbs, their Martial Soul Fusion Skill would only be even stronger at this stage.

Xu Xiao wanted to cultivate them. He wanted to see what kind of scene it would be when the two of them, strengthened by Immortal Herbs and equipped with powerful Soul Rings, unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
