Breaking the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Tang San's Spirit Severely Injured

"We shall use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

Tang San knew that ordinary attacks would be useless against Ye Tianyun; only a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would suffice.

With the capabilities of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they would surely be able to break through Ye Tianyun's defenses with ease.

After all, Ye Tianyun was only a level 40 Soul Ancestor.

"Very well, we shall use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

The Shrek Seven Devils immediately prepared themselves.

In the Main Timeline.

Seeing the Shrek Seven Devils' Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Tang San immediately grew arrogant and smug.

"This is our Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill. With our combined strength, it is enough to rival the Soul Saint realm."

Yu Xiaogang, however, shook his head.

"No, it does not reach the Soul Saint realm. Do not forget, the you inside that world has not yet reached the Soul Ancestor level; he is still only a Soul Elder."

Tang San thought about it and realized he was right; the version of him in that other world was quite useless, having been defeated by Ye Tianyun.

Although the Soul Power Level of that other self was no different from his own, Tang San refused to admit that he was incompetent.

Inside the Live Broadcast Room, the Shrek Seven Devils' Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill had already entered the integration phase.

However, because there was a rift between Dai Mubai and Zhu Qing, their mental connection was not flowing smoothly.

"Do not rush; I will give you time to prepare."

Ye Tianyun noticed the anomaly among the seven and remained indifferent, activating his Battle Armor and preparing to charge at any moment.

With the boost from his Battle Armor, his soul power could reach the Soul Emperor realm, and combined with his powerful mental strength, he felt very confident in himself.

Of course, he could make a strategic retreat if necessary; he would not fight Tang San to the death, and his Evil God Wings allowed him to fly at great speeds.

"Everyone, we absolutely cannot lose. We must be of one heart and one mind."

Tang San knew the weakness of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill; if they could not connect their hearts, it would be impossible to succeed.

Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Ning Rongrong and the others, she ultimately decided to let go of everything.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill soon took form.

[This was the first time Tang San used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the countless people surrounding them were all shocked by it.]

The three instructors of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy felt even more regretful.

They should not have turned away such geniuses.

In the Main Timeline, the Shrek Seven Devils held their heads high; the Heaven Dou Royal Academy of the past had simply lacked the vision to take them in.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill—how impressive was that?

But the very next second, the Live Broadcast Room cut in directly.

[It is a pity. While the Shrek Seven Devils may be a bit roguish, they are indeed geniuses. Yet, in the eyes of a true genius, they can only be considered ordinary geniuses.]

The expressions of the seven froze instantly.

The word "roguish" made them feel very uncomfortable.

The key was the evaluation from the Live Broadcast Room—what did it mean by "ordinary geniuses"?

Did they not count as geniuses?

[There is a type of genius that is simply called a genius, and then there is a genius called Ye Tianyun. He is a genius in the truest sense of the word.]

[Even when facing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that boosted Tang San's strength to the Soul Emperor level, Ye Tianyun remained calm and composed.]

[He utilized his immense mental strength to form a direct mental suppression, countering the combined mental power of the seven.]

[That is what a true genius is: one person's mental strength pitted against the mental strength of seven.]

Tang San of the Main Timeline was truly struck by this.

He was a specialist in mental cultivation, yet the seven of them combined could not even defeat Ye Tianyun alone.

[Ye Tianyun lit up his Third Soul Skill, allowing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to output its full power. The collision between the two sides lasted only a moment before the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was shattered, and Tang San suffered heavy injuries.]

In the image, blood spilled from Tang San's facial orifices as he collapsed to the ground, severely wounded.

[This is absolute strength: a Soul Ancestor crushing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.]

Silence. The entire audience fell into a dead silence.

Countless people in the Main Timeline watching the broadcast were plunged into stillness.

They knew Ye Tianyun was strong, but he was only thirteen years old—a Soul Ancestor who had easily crushed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"How did he do it? Did you see the reason?"

"What else could it be? It is the Battle Armor. It boosts soul power by twenty levels, enough to rival a Soul Emperor. Add that to his powerful mental strength, physical body, and soul power, and that is how he succeeded."

"It is clear that the Battle Armor is the most important factor. If we could possess Battle Armor, winning against stronger opponents would be no problem at all."

Tang San stared at his reflection on the screen, lost in deep thought, unable to recover for a long time.

Another version of him had been defeated just like that.

If it were the current him, even with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the odds of being a match for Ye Tianyun were slim.

Unless he could crush Ye Tianyun with a higher cultivation realm.

Seeing Tang San's silence, Yu Xiaogang offered some well-meaning comfort:

"Little San, don't compare yourself to Ye Tianyun. He is a heaven-gifted prodigy, and besides, that is another world. In this world, you are invincible."

Although he said that, for some reason, Tang San felt as if Yu Xiaogang's words were implying that he was inferior to Ye Tianyun and therefore had no need to compare himself, even if that was indeed the truth.

Nearby, the Soul Saint Brothers began shaking their heads again:

"It's a pity. Tang San's strength is decent, and the Shrek Seven Devils aren't bad either, but compared to Ye Tianyun, there is still quite a gap."

And that gap was not just a small one.

The Shrek Seven Devils fell into a collective silence.

They had been struck hard this time, and the blow was not insignificant.

Tang San's face turned even uglier the next second.

On the screen, Ye Tianyun walked up to Tang San and kicked him flying.

"Trash is trash, yet you still like to look for trouble with me. Do you even have the strength for it? If you don't have the strength, then stop chirping."

Tang San gritted his teeth in anger:

"Damn it, it's just a momentary victory, what is there to be so smug about? To think he even kicked me over."

In Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong fell into silence.

If she were to send her Martial Soul Team, defeating Tang San might be possible, but defeating Ye Tianyun was almost impossible.

It seemed she really needed to research Battle Armor.

"We must increase our efforts in the research of Battle Armor. We are in great need of it."

"Yes."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo nodded in succession.

They truly needed Battle Armor; a single piece of ordinary Battle Armor could increase one's Soul Power by twenty levels, which was simply absurdly excessive.

It wasn't just Martial Soul Hall.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, Great Emperor Xue Ye was very excited and declared on the spot:

"Take a million gold coins from my private treasury and summon heroes of all kinds to research Battle Armor. Anyone who succeeds will be heavily rewarded and granted the title of Prince."

Granting a princely title was already a massive reward.

The nobles and aristocrats below did not object, for they knew they lacked Ye Tianyun's Martial Soul and combat talent.

But Battle Armor could be researched.

This was a vital path to increasing their strength.

[The third battle ultimately ended with a victory for Ye Tianyun.]

[Furthermore, it was an absolute victory. Thus, this battle exceeded all expectations, as even a Martial Soul Fusion Skill could not defeat a peer.]

Tang San: "..."

Oh, so that's what "exceeding expectations" meant.

He had thought he was quite formidable, but to be defeated so miserably—that was indeed beyond imagination. It was a slap in the face.

"Damn it, how could Ye Tianyun be this powerful? On what grounds? I refuse to accept this."
