Xiao Wu could truly only think of Ye Xuan as the one person capable of standing against a Title Douluo and potentially helping her.
However, she forced herself to remain calm; she did not yet know the stance of this Title Douluo, so she naturally could not afford to lose her composure first.
After Flender and the others exchanged greetings with Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Dean Flender, won't you introduce these outstanding young talents to me?"
"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, please take a seat. I shall introduce them to you now." After Flender invited them to sit, he began the introductions one by one.
"These are the students of our academy: Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, Xiao Wu..."
Flender introduced Dai Mubai and the others first, and as he did so, each of them bowed to Ning Fengzhi and his companion.
Looking at these young people, Ning Fengzhi could not help but sigh with emotion; he had not expected such a small Shrek Academy to gather so many geniuses.
Every one of these individuals possessed talent on par with his own daughter, and seeing them made him want to recruit them into his own sect.
Once the others had been introduced, it was finally Ye Xuan's turn.
"This is Young Master Ye Xuan," Flender said solemnly.
Flender did not provide an overly detailed introduction for Ye Xuan, as both he and Ning Rongrong had already written to Ning Fengzhi about him.
"I heard that Young Master Ye is only a year or two older than my daughter. I was skeptical at first, but seeing him now, it appears to be true," Ning Fengzhi remarked with a sigh.
At this moment, Sword Douluo was also scrutinizing Ye Xuan intently.
As a man who used the sword as his martial soul, he examined Ye Xuan carefully, yet he could not sense a shred of sword intent from him. This led him to a terrifying possibility.
That was that this person had already reached the realm of returning to simplicity.
To be unable to sense any sword intent meant only two possibilities: either the person had reached that profound state, or they had never practiced the way of the sword at all.
However, based on the letter provided by Shrek Academy, Ye Xuan was clearly a master of the sword.
This realization stirred an urge within Sword Douluo to challenge him.
This thought was so consuming that it even caused him to overlook Xiao Wu, the existence who was likely a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
"Sect Master Ning, it is good that you have come. There were some matters I intended to discuss with Dean Flender and the others, but since you are here, I might as well discuss them with you directly," Ye Xuan said.
"Oh? I wonder what it is that Young Master Ye wishes to discuss with us?" Ning Fengzhi asked with keen interest.
They had come on this trip specifically for Ye Xuan.
The letter from Shrek Academy had stated that Ye Xuan's martial soul was extremely unique; it could create a simulation of Ning Rongrong and even unleash the soul skills of their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
How could the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect possibly sit still after hearing that?
Therefore, as soon as Ning Fengzhi received the news, he had rushed over immediately.
Even if Ye Xuan had not brought it up, he would have found a way to make Ye Xuan demonstrate his martial soul and soul skills.
Now that Ye Xuan had taken the initiative to bring it up, he was even more curious.
"Father, let me explain this!" Ning Rongrong said, and then she recounted the matter of Ye Xuan wanting her and Zhu Zhuqing to practice a martial soul fusion skill together.
The reason Ning Rongrong took the initiative to explain it herself was that she feared Yu Xiaogang and the others might add their own embellishments to the story later.
Although she was present and could offer her own explanation, why let Yu Xiaogang and the others speak if she could state it clearly herself?
Ning Rongrong first described her recent team-up with Zhu Zhuqing in the soul fighting arena, and then she moved on to the martial soul fusion skill.
When she finished, Ning Fengzhi's eyes were filled with disbelief. He looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "Young Master Ye, is what Rongrong says truly possible?"
"Naturally. As it happens, I was just intending to provide proof to everyone at Shrek Academy. How about this? Everyone, come with me to my residence, and I will demonstrate it for you all," Ye Xuan said.
"Young Master Ye, you are staying at Spirit Hall, which is not a very suitable place for us to visit. How about we go to our temporary residence instead?" Flender suggested.
"That works too."
Ye Xuan was indifferent to the location; indeed, many people here were unwilling to show their faces at Spirit Hall.
"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, please," Flender said. Once the decision was made to head to Shrek Academy's temporary quarters, he stood up to personally lead the way.
Ye Xuan and the others left together, and before long, they arrived at a courtyard rented by Shrek Academy. Entering the grounds, Ye Xuan scanned the area and found it perfectly suitable.
He said to Flender, "Dean Flender, I will borrow your small courtyard for a moment."
"Please, Young Master Ye." Flender was also quite curious to see how Ye Xuan would prove that he could enable Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to perform a martial soul fusion skill.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were equally curious; they were even more interested in what Ye Xuan's martial soul actually looked like and how he managed to simulate people and use their soul skills.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Ye Xuan summoned his martial soul, the Hundred Beauties Scroll.
He activated his first soul skill, and as the soul ring appeared, 'Mimic: Zhu Zhuqing' emerged.
Next, he activated his second soul skill, and 'Mimic: Ning Rongrong' appeared.
The two simulated figures each summoned their own martial souls and released their soul skills.
Under Ye Xuan's control, they began to move and circulate their soul power in the manner required for a martial soul fusion skill.
In just a moment, the fusion skill was complete.
After the skill had formed, Ye Xuan said to Flender, "Dean Flender, why don't you have them try the power of this martial soul fusion skill together?"
"This..." Flender hesitated, for he could see that this martial soul fusion skill was incredibly powerful.
If Ye Xuan were to strike with full force, even if Dai Mubai and the others attacked together, they would be no match for it.
Ye Xuan could see Flender's concern and stated plainly, "Rest assured, Dean Flender. It is merely a spar; I will not harm them."
"Very well. You have heard Young Master Ye's words, so go and seek his guidance!" Flender turned to Dai Mubai and the others, gesturing for them to proceed.
"Yes, Dean." Dai Mubai acknowledged the order and stepped forward first.
Following him, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar stepped out.
As Tang San moved past, Xiao Wu whispered, "Brother San, you go ahead. I'll sit this one out."
Xiao Wu was unwilling to fight because she feared that if she took action, the Title Douluo before them might discern too much.
Otherwise, she truly wanted to experience for herself just how powerful this Martial Soul Fusion skill was.
The four of them launched their attacks, each unleashing their respective techniques.
Their strategy was clear: eliminate the "Pseudo-Ning Rongrong" support first.
Furthermore, to ensure success, they had Tang San hold off "Pseudo-Zhu Zhuqing" while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun moved to attack "Pseudo-Ning Rongrong."
Watching the two of them close in, Ning Rongrong stood to the side, breaking into a cold sweat for Ye Xuan.
She even had the illusion that she was the one being attacked.
However, just as the two closed in, a white halo appeared beneath the feet of "Pseudo-Ning Rongrong," while a black halo appeared around "Pseudo-Zhu Zhuqing." In the next instant, the two swapped positions.
Once "Pseudo-Zhu Zhuqing" had shifted, a glazed-colored phantom of the Nether Civet appeared behind her. This phantom flashed forward like a bolt of lightning, instantly streaking past Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun. In the blink of an eye, both were sent flying, their bodies marked by several severe lacerations.
