Ye Lingling's Feelings, Demon Pill Ning Rongrong Enrolls!

Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

At this moment, Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling undoubtedly felt it most deeply.

As everyone knew, Martial Soul Fusion Skills could generally only be achieved by people with close relationships.

Whether husband and wife, or brothers and sisters...

Beyond that, there was another crucial factor: Martial Soul compatibility.

Generally, only when their compatibility exceeded fifty percent did the two parties have the possibility of possessing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

And that was merely a possibility, not a guarantee that they could actually perform Martial Soul Fusion.

Xia Yuan and Ye Lingling were, at most, classmates who were relatively close.

For them to fuse a Martial Soul Fusion Skill on their very first attempt could only mean that their Martial Souls were exceptionally compatible.

Vaguely, a seed seemed to emerge where the two stood. It swiftly grew, then finally blossomed.

With the Nine Heart Begonia as its flower and the Blue Silver Emperor as its leaves, that dazzling, perfect instant was enough to move anyone.

A moment later, the white light faded, and the two figures reappeared.

Ye Lingling's face was flushed crimson, her heart pounding wildly. She panted heavily as though she had just undergone intense exercise, her entire body drenched in sweat.

Xia Yuan, meanwhile, was nothing like Ye Lingling. He instead looked utterly energized.

This was the first ability they discovered after unexpectedly giving birth to a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

"Life Transfer."

At the cost of at least half of Ye Lingling's Soul Power and all her physical strength, it could restore Xia Yuan to perfect condition and even heal any fatal wound.

It was practically like having a resurrection armor equipped.

Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling and felt that her gaze toward Xia Yuan was moist, as though she had received some kind of satisfaction.

People who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would generally grow closer and closer, so long as they did not turn against each other.

In other words...

Dugu Yan's heart tightened.

Standing beside Ye Lingling, Xia Yuan only felt better than he ever had before.

He could sense that the surrounding environment had become incomparably lively.

Vitality flourished more intensely than ever.

After unexpectedly developing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ye Lingling, Xia Yuan understood that he and Ye Lingling might be destined to remain entangled for life.

Xia Yuan turned his head and saw that Ye Lingling's face was still deeply flushed, but she stared straight at him.

"Xia Yuan, I..."

She hesitated, but quickly spoke again. "Xia Yuan, are you willing to accept me?"

Her gaze was pure and resolute. Her eyes held no one but Xia Yuan.

But...

"I..." Xia Yuan had just begun to speak when Dugu Yan suddenly walked over.

She supported the somewhat weakened Ye Lingling and asked,

"Xia Yuan, how should I guide out the poison?"

Xia Yuan fell silent for a moment before replying, "Make a wound directly on my body and guide the poison into it."

"But before that, you need to take a medicinal catalyst."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan took out an unused portion of medicinal catalyst from the Wishful Treasure Pouch.

Dugu Yan did not doubt him and immediately accepted it, drinking it down.

Having been interrupted by Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling did not continue asking. Instead, she began meditating where she stood to recover her Soul Power.

Amid this slightly awkward atmosphere, Dugu Yan, who had just swallowed the medicinal liquid, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

She could already clearly feel that after drinking the liquid, her body seemed to have undergone a cleansing.

Unlike Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan was only at the beginning stages of cultivation, and the Martial Soul poison accumulated in her body was extremely limited.

Xia Yuan used a sharp weapon to slice open his arm and held it out to her.

Dugu Yan glanced at Xia Yuan and said somewhat unwillingly, "Doesn't it hurt?"

Xia Yuan was so annoyed that he laughed. "I've already cut it open, and you're asking whether it hurts? Hurry up and guide out the poison."

Dugu Yan felt a little embarrassed. She hurriedly calmed herself and began focusing on forcing out the poison.

She placed a finger over Xia Yuan's wound. Gradually, a visible streak of jade-green was forced out from Dugu Yan's fingertip.

That was the poison of Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Education Committee.

"Is Sect Master Ning truly planning to have your daughter enroll here?"

Even though he had already received word from Zhi Lin, Meng Shenji still found it rather strange.

As Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, the one he valued most and the most talented, Ning Rongrong should have been receiving her education within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

What medicine had Ning Fengzhi taken to come here and hand his daughter over to Qin Ming for instruction?

Their Heaven Dou Royal Academy was indeed the strongest academy within the Heaven Dou Empire.

But they did not understand the deeper secrets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul!

Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect itself could teach those things!

Across from Meng Shenji and the other two, Ning Fengzhi sat on a spacious sofa and slowly nodded.

"I have faith in Qin Ming's teacher."

What did having faith in Qin Ming's teacher have to do with Qin Ming?

Bai Baoshan grumbled inwardly.

If he trusted Qin Ming's teacher, shouldn't he be seeking out Qin Ming's teacher instead?

Still, if Ning Fengzhi truly intended to send his daughter to the academy to study, they could not exactly turn her away.

Meng Shenji nodded. "In that case, we understand."

"However, I hope Sect Master Ning understands that your daughter must also abide by the academy's rules."

"If she cannot accept the academy's rules, we will ask you to personally take her back."

Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily. "No matter. I believe Qin Ming has learned most of the essence of his teacher's methods."

At last, Meng Shenji and the other two rose to their feet.

Meng Shenji said, "Then please send your daughter here tomorrow, Sect Master Ning."

"We will do our utmost to ensure that she is not bullied within the academy..."

"No." Ning Fengzhi stood and waved a hand.

"The three Education Committee members need not give my daughter any special treatment."

"Treat her as you would any other student—be even stricter with her, if anything!"

"This..." Bai Baoshan hesitated. "What if your daughter cannot endure the rules here..."

"It is fine. I will personally discipline her!" Ning Fengzhi said seriously.

"Over the years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has spoiled her somewhat excessively because of her talent."

"Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she likely will not have another chance to correct herself."

"That is why she needs a place with strict rules to properly temper her disposition!"

"Very well." Bai Baoshan expressed his understanding.

Watching Ning Fengzhi leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the three Education Committee members exchanged glances.

"Has Sect Master Ning... suffered some kind of shock?"

"I don't know." Bai Baoshan shook his head.

Meng Shenji said, "Forget it. We'll take things one step at a time."

"For now, let's see what this talented young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is like."

"By the way, Zhi Lin."

He looked toward Zhi Lin.

"In your opinion, between Qin Ming and Xia Yuan, who is more likely to win in the end?"

"Hard to say." Zhi Lin spread his hands. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have had them teach separately."
