When Ao Tian was carried off the stage.
Li Qinglian and Shui Bing'er also broke apart in midair and fell one after another.
"Ao Tian's guess wasn't wrong."
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Bing'er and I used did reach the power of a Soul Emperor."
"But that was only its peak, reaching the level of a Soul Emperor, and that peak lasted less than three minutes. If we couldn't defeat the opponent within that time, then we'd have no fighting strength left at all."
Li Qinglian's face was pale.
If Ao Tian's cultivation had been a few levels higher, he might really have been able to withstand his and Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Unfortunately, Ao Tian was not a genius on the level of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
The fact that he could cultivate to Soul King was already the result of Spirit Hall sparing no effort in raising him.
"Qinglian. Are you all right?"
Shui Bing'er stood up and staggered over to Li Qinglian.
This time, she did not add "little brother" at the end.
She knew that Li Qinglian was no longer a child.
He was already a favored son of heaven who could lead the team to victory as a core member.
Even when facing Ao Tian, who was ten years older than him, he had still won.
Moreover, even though she and Li Qinglian had worked together, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill had been controlled by Li Qinglian. Only Li Qinglian had truly comprehended the mysteries of the Ice-Fire Duality. Though Shui Bing'er understood the principle, she had not mastered this power.
It could be said!
For Tianshui Team to stand in this position, Li Qinglian was the true core.
The one and only core.
First, he had used Sword Intent to guide Spirit Hall Team into making the wrong judgment, then used this dazzling Martial Soul Fusion Skill to finish his opponent.
Although Li Qinglian had only appeared in two matches, there was no doubt that Li Qinglian was the most important person on this team.
"I'm fine. Sister Bing'er, what about you?"
Li Qinglian staggered to his feet.
He was only a little drained and weak, that was all.
Controlling the fusion of two people's martial souls consumed an extremely high amount of mental strength.
His and Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was extremely powerful. It was fundamentally impossible for them to be injured by it.
"Hehe. Of course I'm fine. Didn't I say so? I handed everything over to you. I didn't spend any effort controlling our martial soul fusion form."
Shui Bing'er stuck out her tongue.
Her bright eyes looked at Li Qinglian, filled with excitement and joy.
"Qinglian, we're the champions!"
"Our Tianshui Team has taken first place in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament!"
Shui Bing'er gripped Li Qinglian's hand tightly.
At this moment, Shui Xian'er and the other girls of Tianshui Team all gathered around.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Little Brother Qinglian, I really didn't misjudge you. You're seriously too strong. If you didn't already have Bing'er, I'd definitely use every method I had to marry you."
Shui Xian'er said boldly.
"Exactly, exactly. You and Bing'er even have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill now, so we won't fight Bing'er for you." The other girls also burst into laughter.
However, there was a trace of regret in all their gazes.
If Bing'er and Li Qinglian had not possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then even if they had to be shameless for once, they would have fought for him. But two people who had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would never be separated.
After this battle, those who set their sights on Li Qinglian would all be major figures. A man as outstanding as Li Qinglian could never belong to small people like them.
"Still. Little Brother Qinglian led us to the championship, so we have to thank him somehow." As Shui Xian'er spoke, she leaned in and kissed Li Qinglian on the cheek.
"Sister Xian'er."
Li Qinglian's body stiffened.
"I actually wasn't lying to you. My heart really did move just now. It's just that I'm a rational person." Shui Xian'er breathed beside Li Qinglian's ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids.
How could anyone not be moved by such an outstanding man?
"Hehe. We want to as well."
Seeing Shui Xian'er being so bold, the other girls also followed suit one after another, kissing Li Qinglian on the cheek.
If it were any other time, Shui Bing'er would definitely have gotten jealous and protected Li Qinglian behind her. But at this moment, Shui Bing'er did not want to spoil the mood. She knew that these elder sisters had no intention of stealing this boy from her.
"Qinglian. Me too."
Shui Bing'er looked at Li Qinglian, suddenly a little shy.
But very quickly, she adjusted her state of mind.
She leaned toward Li Qinglian's thin lips and took the initiative to kiss him.
It was Shui Bing'er's first time taking the initiative to kiss Li Qinglian.
She knew Li Qinglian was still a blockhead and would never kiss her first.
She knew it.
Right now, many girls were eyeing the boy at her side, and she would use her own way to extinguish their budding feelings.
Li Qinglian's eyes flew open. He tightened his arms around Shui Bing'er's waist and kissed her back.
Behind them, the Fire Phoenix and Ice Phoenix spread their wings, wrapping the two of them within.
Perhaps this was the tacit understanding between two people who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
At that moment, a thought suddenly came to Li Qinglian.
Shui Bing'er was simply like his very own Phoenix Flying Together.
In the stands, countless people watched Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian kiss.
They knew the two of them were the ones who had just unleashed a martial soul fusion.
A man and woman who possessed a martial soul fusion would inevitably develop feelings for each other. This was what truly counted as a couple made for each other!
"Wow. So romantic."
"Did any of you notice? Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian really are such a perfect match."
One ice, one fire; one phoenix, one empress phoenix; a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
This scene was far too beautiful!
From ancient times to now, countless teams had reached the end and become champions.
But there had absolutely never been a scene more impactful than this one.
Countless women felt sweetness well up in their hearts as they watched.
They were thinking, if only their beloved could also kiss them like this after a great victory. How romantic would that be?
A victory kiss!
This scene was destined to become the most classic moment in the history of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
Even if couples from other teams wanted to copy it, they could never be such a perfect pair.
"Wow."
Hu Liena stared straight at Li Qinglian and Shui Bing'er.
Originally, after losing, she had still felt a little dejected.
But when she saw this scene, she suddenly felt that losing to these two did not seem like something so unacceptable after all.
It was hard to accept becoming someone else's backdrop.
But that depended on whether that person was impressive enough.
Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was already an existence that surpassed the Nether White Tiger.
This was absolutely the most powerful and perfect Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the world today!
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill she had with her brother could not compare to theirs in the slightest.
"Little sister. How did you defect so quickly?"
"You're the Holy Maiden. Don't you feel ashamed losing to Li Qinglian?"
Xie Yue said irritably.
If they could not beat him now, then five years later, when they led a team, it would be even harder.
"What's there to be ashamed of? If Teacher takes him under her command, then he'll be Spirit Hall's Holy Son. Then we'll all be on the same side. Isn't it normal for the Holy Maiden to lose to the Holy Son?"
Hu Liena said quietly.
She was actually very proud as well.
It was just that in front of Li Qinglian, she truly could not bring herself to be arrogant.
With talent like that, even Qian Renxue might not necessarily be able to compare.
