第24章 武魂融合技!

"Shall we try?"

Hearing A Yin's suggestion, Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, a strange glint flashing in the depths of both their eyes.

Ling Xuqing nodded and said softly, "Alright, Na'er, let's try. Relax your mind and don't resist me."

"Mm!" Gu Yuena responded obediently, her purple eyes filled with trust and anticipation.

Xiao Wu and A Yin hurriedly retreated to the corner of the dormitory, fearing they might disturb them, yet their eyes remained fixed on the center of the room, not blinking once.

Ling Xuqing took a deep breath, and the Golden Dragon King essence within him instantly began to boil.

He gripped the Golden Overlord Spear in his hand, dark golden blood energy circulating along the shaft and emitting an incomparably overbearing pressure.

Gu Yuena gripped the Silver Overlord Spear as well; the Silver Dragon King essence within her awakened in response, and a soft yet profound silver light rose from the spear.

"Hum—"

The two spears slowly drew closer in the center of the dormitory.

The moment the tips were about to touch—

"BOOM!!!"

A terrifying suction force erupted from the point where the two spears met!

Ling Xuqing felt the Golden Dragon King blood energy within him surging toward the Silver Overlord Spear like a burst dam.

Gu Yuena also felt her own Silver Dragon King essence being greedily devoured and merged by the Golden Overlord Spear.

"Ah—"

Gu Yuena let out a soft cry, her body falling forward uncontrollably.

Ling Xuqing instinctively reached out and caught her slender waist.

The moment their bodies touched, the suction force reached its peak!

"Rumble—"

The tables and chairs in the dormitory were overturned by the terrifying shockwave, and the windows rattled violently.

A golden and a silver light shot into the sky, completely enveloping the figures of Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena.

"This is..." A Yin exclaimed, sensing the dual laws of destruction and creation contained within that aura.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. "What a terrifying aura! Can this really be produced by two six-year-old children?!"

Amidst the light, the bodies of Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena hovered in mid-air.

Their Martial Souls—the Golden Overlord Spear and the Silver Overlord Spear—had completely merged into one at this moment.

"ROAR—!!!"

A deafening dragon roar exploded within the dormitory!

Immediately following, a massive silhouette of light roared out from the platinum spear.

It was a dragon.

A giant dragon with dark golden scales that radiated a silver halo!

It had a single horn on its head, eyes of gold and purple, and its entire body exuded a terrifying aura where destruction and creation intertwined.

"Dragon... Dragon God?!"

A Yin's face turned pale instantly.

She recognized the essence of this light-formed dragon at a glance—it was an existence that transcended all dragonkind, the legendary Dragon God!

Xiao Wu was so frightened she covered her mouth, her legs turning to jelly.

Within the light, the consciousnesses of Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena were completely fused at this moment.

They felt each other's heartbeats, felt each other's bloodlines, and felt that bond that spanned tens of thousands of years.

"Golden Dragon King..."

"Silver Dragon King..."

Their voices rang out in their minds simultaneously, filled with endless shock and joy.

"We... can fuse!"

As their intentions became one, the light-formed dragon roared toward the sky, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire Nuoding City!

After roaring for a moment, the giant dragon slowly shrank, eventually turning into a streak of platinum light that merged back into the bodies of Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena.

"Hoo—"

The two exhaled a long breath simultaneously and landed slowly on the ground.

Ling Xuqing released his hold on Gu Yuena, both of them panting slightly.

"So... so powerful..." Xiao Wu poked her head out from the corner, her face full of shock. "Xuqing, Na'er, what... what exactly just happened?"

A Yin was also grave. She walked up to them and asked in a deep voice, "Xuqing, Na'er, what exactly was that Martial Soul Fusion Skill you just released?"

Ling Xuqing and Gu Yuena looked at each other, a tacit understanding flashing in their eyes.

"We don't know either." Ling Xuqing shook his head, feigning confusion. "We just felt our Martial Souls were very close, so we tried to fuse them. We didn't expect this to happen."

Gu Yuena nodded vigorously, her purple eyes full of innocence. "Yes, Brother, Na'er doesn't know either..."

A Yin looked at them deeply. She always felt things weren't that simple, but since the two children didn't want to say more, she didn't press them.

"Alright, it's getting late." A Yin looked out the window and said softly, "Too much has happened tonight, and you must be tired. Get some rest."

"Mm!" Gu Yuena nodded obediently.

Ling Xuqing smiled as well. He walked to the bed and pulled back the quilt.

"Na'er, sleep with Brother tonight."

"Ah?" Gu Yuena froze, her cheeks turning bright red instantly.

Xiao Wu chimed in from the side, "Oh, don't be shy, Na'er! Xuqing's bed is big enough if you squeeze in!"

A Yin also smiled gently. "That's right, Na'er. It's not safe for you to sleep outside alone. Just make do for tonight and squeeze in with Xuqing."

Gu Yuena lowered her head, twisting the hem of her skirt, her voice as thin as a mosquito's. "Then... then I'll trouble you, Brother..."

"It's no trouble." Ling Xuqing smiled and pulled her to the bedside, letting her lie down before lying down beside her.

"Goodnight, Na'er."

"Goodnight... Brother."

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, a happy smile curling the corners of her lips.

Deep within her consciousness, the heart that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years was melting, bit by bit.

The next morning.

Ling Xuqing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soft, warm little body in his arms, and a gentle smile touched his lips.

Gu Yuena was still fast asleep, her little head resting in the crook of Ling Xuqing's arm, her long silver eyelashes fluttering slightly like a quiet little kitten.

"Xuqing, are you awake?" Xiao Wu's voice rang out in his mind, carrying a hint of teasing. "How did you sleep last night?"

Ling Xuqing smiled helplessly and replied in his mind, "Xiao Wu, stop it."

A Yin also said softly, "Xuqing, it's time to wake Na'er up. We still need to take her to Spirit Hall to register today."

"Mm."

Ling Xuqing gently patted Gu Yuena's shoulder and called out softly, "Na'er, time to wake up."

"Mmm..." Gu Yuena whimpered and slowly opened her purple eyes.

When she realized she was resting in the crook of Ling Xuqing's arm, her cheeks turned bright red instantly.

"Br... Brother..." She sat up in a panic, her small hands covering her burning cheeks, not daring to look into Ling Xuqing's eyes.

Ling Xuqing smiled and sat up to help her tidy her messy silver hair.

"Let's go. We'll wash up, then take you to get some breakfast."

"Mm!" Gu Yuena nodded obediently and followed Ling Xuqing into the washroom.

A moment later, the two were ready and pushed the door open to head out.

The morning air in Nuoding City was filled with a fresh scent.

Ling Xuqing held Gu Yuena's small hand and walked toward the Spirit Hall branch.

"Brother, what does Spirit Hall look like?"

Gu Yuena tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Spirit Hall..." Ling Xuqing thought for a moment and explained softly, "It's the largest Spirit Master organization on the continent. There, you can register your Martial Soul, receive subsidies, and undergo Spirit Master training."

"Wow..." Gu Yuena's eyes lit up.

"Can Na'er become a powerful Spirit Master in the future too?"

"Of course." Ling Xuqing pinched her little cheek dotingly. "Our Na'er has a top-tier Martial Soul; you will definitely become the most powerful Spirit Master!"

"Mm!" Gu Yuena nodded vigorously, her purple eyes full of longing.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, soon arriving in front of the Spirit Hall branch.

"Let's go, let's head in." Ling Xuqing held Gu Yuena's hand and stepped onto the stairs.

Just then, a cold voice came from behind:

"Stop!"

Ling Xuqing stopped and turned to look.

He saw a middle-aged man in black tight-fitting clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs, staring coldly at Gu Yuena.

"Who is this child? Why is she with you?"

Ling Xuqing frowned slightly. He recognized this man—it was Yu Xiaogang, who had blocked him at the academy gate yesterday.

But at this moment, Yu Xiaogang's face was still pale; clearly, he had been hit hard by Ling Xuqing last night.

"Mister, is that any of your business?" Ling Xuqing said indifferently.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened. He pointed at Gu Yuena and said coldly, "This child's background is unknown; you cannot bring her into Spirit Hall!"

"Oh?" A mocking curve appeared on Ling Xuqing's lips. "Mister, who do you think you are? Do I need your permission to bring someone into Spirit Hall?"

"You—!" Yu Xiaogang was choked until his face turned livid.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Child, I'm doing this for your own good! This child's origins are unknown; be careful not to be deceived by her!"

"Deceived by me?" Gu Yuena poked her head out from behind Ling Xuqing, a hint of cunning flashing in her purple eyes. "Mister, are you jealous that Brother is nice to me?"

"You—!" Yu Xiaogang was choked again.

Ling Xuqing smiled, held Gu Yuena's hand, and walked straight into Spirit Hall.

"Let's go, Na'er, don't mind him."

"Mm!" Gu Yuena nodded obediently and followed Ling Xuqing inside.

Yu Xiaogang stood where he was, watching their backs with a livid face, his fists clenched tight.

"Fine... fine! You just wait!"

He growled through gritted teeth and turned to run toward the academy.

Inside Spirit Hall.

Ling Xuqing led Gu Yuena to the registration desk.

"Hello, I'd like to register a Martial Soul for this child."

Ling Xuqing said to the staff member behind the counter.

The staff member looked up, glanced at Gu Yuena, and asked softly, "Child, what is your name? And what is your Martial Soul?"

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and extended her small hand.

"Hum—"

The Silver Overlord Spear appeared in her palm, emitting a brilliant silver light.

"My name is Na'er, and my Martial Soul is the Silver Overlord Spear."

The staff member's eyes lit up instantly.

"A top-tier Tool Martial Soul?!"

She hurriedly took out a crystal ball and handed it to Gu Yuena. "Child, test your Spirit Power."

Gu Yuena placed her small hand on the crystal ball.

"Hum—"

The crystal ball instantly erupted with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall.

"In... Innate Full Spirit Power?!"

The staff member exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

Ling Xuqing stood to the side, a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Alright, Na'er, registration is complete." He patted Gu Yuena's head. "You can come and collect your subsidies every month from now on."

"Mm!" Gu Yuena nodded vigorously, her purple eyes full of joy.

The two walked out of Spirit Hall, the sunlight falling on them, warm and pleasant.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Gu Yuena tilted her head and asked curiously.

Ling Xuqing smiled and said softly, "Let's go to the academy first. We'll plan everything else once we get back."

"Okay, Brother!" Gu Yuena nodded obediently, holding Ling Xuqing's hand tightly.

Their shadows stretched long in the morning light, like a warm and cozy painting.

In the shadows far away, Zi Ji watched this scene, a gratified smile curling her lips.

"My Lord, you have finally found your home."

She whispered, her figure slowly disappearing into the air.
