"...Master."

Facing Jiang Ce's temptation, Queen Medusa gritted her teeth and squeezed the word out through the gaps.

Jiang Ce retracted his tentacles with satisfaction while simultaneously releasing the Symbiote's suppression authority over Queen Medusa.

And heal her a little.

The injuries previously inflicted by Liu Erlong and Ye Yingling healed at a speed visible to the naked eye; her scales returned to their proper places, and the bruises dissipated.

Immediately after, A surge of even more powerful amplification force poured in; strength, speed, defense, spiritual power, and more—all attributes were enhanced fivefold!

Queen Medusa's eyes snapped wide open.

"How is this possible—what exactly are you?"

"Just a little something."

"Guard this garden well from now on."

Feeling the unprecedented fullness of power within her body, Queen Medusa fell silent for a moment, lowered her head, and slowly coiled her snake tail. The situation was stronger than the person; she simply could not resist.

Another complex stream of information was poured into her mind, stuffing it full like a cream puff.

She stared blankly at the Black Latex Suit covering her body, stunned that she could actually utilize so many abilities.

She immediately raised her hands, condensing a fireball in her left and an ice spike in her right, while her body could even radiate a verdant, healing light.

She was effectively an all-around soul beast now; this Venom Symbiote state was simply too terrifying.

"Many thanks, Master."

Jiang Ce nodded.

"Go pick a few immortal herbs to eat and strengthen yourself. As a gardener, you can't be too weak; I don't want my territory to be invaded by others."

A treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well certainly required someone to guard it properly.

To prevent others from invading.

He immediately transmitted the relevant information to Queen Medusa, letting her harvest them herself.

The most suitable direction for Queen Medusa was naturally to strengthen her spirit, enhance her toxins, fortify her physique, and add some spiritual items containing Dragon Blood aura.

In any case, there were plenty of immortal herbs here; even if there weren't enough at the immortal grade, there were plenty of spiritual medicines tainted with Dragon Blood aura.

Queen Medusa consumed the Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom to consolidate her foundation and repair the hidden injuries within her body.

She absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to absorb the dragon energy, pushing her snake bloodline to evolve toward a dragon.

The Green Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower significantly strengthened her poison attribute, doubling her toxicity.

The Ice Heart Snow Lotus stabilized her mind and increased her spiritual power.

She supplemented this with the Green Phosphorus Snake Saliva Fruit, Dragon Breath Moss, and Dragon Blood Vine to assist in absorption.

Her aura climbed steadily, breaking through the bottleneck from thirty thousand years and quickly rising to fifty thousand years.

After all, Queen Medusa did not have the soul ring restrictions that humans did; she was a pure soul beast, and all the medicinal power was converted directly into cultivation.

The original Medusa had transformed into Queen Medusa.

Feeling the changes in herself, Queen Medusa was ecstatic and hurriedly bowed to Jiang Ce.

"Many thanks for your grace, Master!"

Although she was now a fifty-thousand-year soul beast, given the amplification abilities she had acquired, she should be able to rival a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

With a whole heap of attribute-boosting skills, plus the fivefold amplification from the Venom Symbiote state, it was as terrifying as it could possibly be!

There was also a whole host of defensive skills.

She even suspected that an attack from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast wouldn't be able to break her defenses.

It was simply too terrifying!

This time, she could be considered to have turned a misfortune into a blessing.

Jiang Ce nodded.

"Since you are finished, it is my turn now."

The three women were somewhat confused, only to see the black latex suit on their bodies surge, wrapping them completely and forcing them to move together against their will.

Jiang Ce also walked over and transformed directly into his Venom form, the four bodies merging together, copying all the abilities of Liu Erlong, Ye Yingling, and Queen Medusa.

Immediately after, He restored himself, becoming the Black Latex Suit on the three women, while one portion of his body condensed into a human shape.

A Golden Holy Flame Dragon, dozens of meters long, roared out from his body, surrounded by scorching golden holy flames, its momentum astonishing.

Another phantom of a Nine-Heart Begonia flower bloomed above his head, releasing terrifying restorative power.

Then, a martial soul similar to Queen Medusa's emerged, its eyes radiating golden light and emitting a powerful spiritual pressure.

The three women watched Jiang Ce in this state, equally stunned.

They knew that Jiang Ce could obtain the powers of soul beasts after devouring them and replicate the abilities of hosts after copying them, but they never expected he could even seize their martial souls.

Queen Medusa was particularly taken aback; she clearly hadn't been devoured, yet he had somehow manifested something similar to her own martial soul.

"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Ce sensed his own abilities and was quite satisfied, then pulled Liu Erlong over. "Let's try a fusion technique."

"Fusion technique?" Liu Erlong asked, full of confusion. "I've never heard of such a thing. Is it a soul skill?"

Jiang Ce looked at the three women before him—one with hands on her hips, one hugging her knees, and one coiled with her snake tail—all three pairs of eyes fixed on him.

"Simply put, it's the coordination of two skills. A soul skill combination is like you casting fire and me creating wind; the wind fuels the fire to burn brighter. Essentially, we are still fighting our own battles, just achieving a better effect when they collide."

"A martial soul fusion technique is different. Two soul masters' martial souls must be highly compatible and their minds in perfect sync, allowing the martial souls to fuse directly into something entirely new. It's not one plus one equals two; it's one plus one equals three, or perhaps even ten."

Liu Erlong thought for a moment. "Then what are the conditions?"

"The martial soul attributes must be highly compatible, and the soul masters must be in perfect sync. Neither can be missing."

Ye Yingling asked in a low voice, "Then can Teacher and Senior Sister... fuse?"

"Yes," Jiang Ce said. "I have already replicated her Golden Holy Flame Dragon, so my martial soul is now completely identical to hers."

"The Symbiotic Link itself is the highest form of mental synchronization. It requires no preparation; if you want to fuse, one second is enough."

Queen Medusa remained silent, her snake tail coiled, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

"What happens after the fusion?" Liu Erlong asked.

"Two identical top-tier martial souls merge into one, tracing the bloodline back to its source and touching the origin of the dragon race. The specific form can only be verified through actual combat."

Liu Erlong looked down at the dark golden flames churning in her palms, the corners of her mouth curling slightly.

"Then let's try it."

She immediately summoned her own martial soul, the Golden Holy Flame Dragon.

In the sky, Two massive Golden Holy Flame Dragons roared simultaneously, turning into two golden streams of light that slammed into each other.

Light exploded, and the two dragon bodies fused into one, their size surging to hundreds of meters.

As they fused, the dragon body compressed and solidified further, the platinum flame core completely transforming into a transparent, colorless holy flame.

The scales covering its entire body turned platinum-gold, each one shimmering with a divine luster.

The fully fused Dragon King let out a roar that shook the valley, its pressure crushing down in all directions as dark clouds gathered in the sky.

Holy Flame Dragon King.

Immediately after, A domain erupted from the Dragon King as its center.

The moment the domain expanded, all hostile targets within its range had their attributes forcibly reduced by fifty percent, while all allies had their attributes increased by fifty percent.

Within the domain, teleportation, stealth, and invincibility were prohibited; all spatial, concealment, and immunity skills were rendered ineffective.

The holy flame automatically locked onto every hostile target, continuously burning away their soul power and vitality. It could not be purified or dispelled; they could only endure it with their own soul power.

All enemy soul skill consumption was doubled, and soul skill damage was halved.

Dragon-type martial souls with a bloodline rank lower than the Dragon King were stripped of their fighting spirit and could not actively attack the Dragon King or his allies.

Liu Erlong felt that her current power was unrealistically strong.

"Is this our fusion technique?"

She even doubted if she was dreaming; this amplification and domain were simply too formidable.

Smack.

A large palm landed heavily on her rounded, perky buttocks.

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes, her body trembling violently as she felt the two Phantom Dragons inside her begin to stir again.

She nearly lost her footing.

"What are you doing?!"

After a long while, she glared fiercely at Jiang Ce. What was this bastard trying to do by suddenly slapping her?

"Weren't you doubting if you were dreaming? Naturally, I had to let you feel for yourself whether it was real."

"You hateful guy."

Liu Erlong glared at him again. This bastard loved to torment her, but looking at the roaring Holy Flame Dragon King in the sky, she couldn't help but curl her lips. She felt incredibly powerful right now.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister and Teacher on your martial soul fusion; your strength has greatly increased," Ye Yingling said, full of envy.

Jiang Ce and Liu Erlong dispersed the fusion technique, and he turned to Ye Yingling.

"I can also perform a martial soul fusion with you."

"Is that really possible?"

"Aren't your senior sister and I already fused together? Furthermore, given our symbiote state, it's not just identical martial souls that can form fusion skills; different martial souls can as well."

"Different martial souls?" The three women were stunned in unison.

"Naturally. We are all Venom symbiotes; we are one and the same."

"Your different martial souls can fuse together, and since you all belong to me, you share a connection and can form fusion skills between yourselves."

"We could even do it together—a four-person fusion."

Hearing Jiang Ce's words, the three women were utterly shocked.

"But that's enough for now."

"The fusion skills from just the same-origin martial souls are enough for you to walk sideways across the Douluo Continent."

"As for the remaining combinations, there will be plenty of time to test them slowly in the future."

"Rest for today."

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, pulling an item from his Storage Soul Tool.

A large bed capable of accommodating four people slammed onto the ground, its legs planting firmly into the flat rock beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The three women exchanged glances. Ye Yingling blushed first, while Liu Erlong rolled her eyes but was the first to walk toward the bed, proactively bending over.

After all, this bastard Jiang Ce just loved thick milk and rich tea!
