Cultivation Together: Martial Soul Fusion Power

"Brother Yu, Brothers Shi, Yu Feng, Sister Lingling, Sister Yanzi, I won't be training with you today. I think there's a guest waiting for me in my room." Tianlin smiled and waved before leaving the training grounds.

"Wait, why did Xiao Tian say goodbye to all of you but ignore me alone?" Osler complained unhappily.

"Isn't it obvious? Don't you know that your showy look always makes Xiao Tian want to beat you up?" Shi Mo mocked him mercilessly.

"Tch, what do you mean, showy? I'm simply maintaining my handsome image." As he spoke, Osler took out a mirror again. "Could my hair be messy today? Does Xiao Tian not like it?"

"You'd better not say that in front of him. I'm worried Xiao Tian will take out his Demon Suppressing Sword and chop you up. Seriously, I'm not joking," Ye Lingling said coolly.

Osler immediately wilted. He had never expected that, among the seven of them, he would be the least popular.

After parting ways with Yu Tianheng and the others, Tianlin headed straight back to his dormitory and found the door wide open. Someone had clearly gone inside.

Sure enough, Xue Qinghe was sitting beside his desk, flipping through his notes.

Fortunately, they weren't a diary, or all his secrets would have been exposed. Then again, he did not write that sort of thing. What decent person kept a diary?

"Brother Xue, why are you here?" Tianlin stepped forward and asked.

Hearing Tianlin's voice, Xue Qinghe set down the notes in his hand and smiled. "I came to see you. I heard all about O'lf. Why didn't you come to me over something so serious? I could have resolved it perfectly for you. Look how tense things have become between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Balak Kingdom."

Isn't this strained relationship exactly what you wanted to see? Tianlin grumbled inwardly, but he said, "I understand, Brother Xue. I was impulsive this time. If I run into trouble again, I'll ask you for help immediately."

"That's more like it. Come to me whenever anything happens in the future." Xue Qinghe nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the mindset he wanted Tianlin to have. Once Tianlin grew increasingly dependent on him, perhaps even after he returned to his identity as Qian Renxue, Tianlin would choose to follow him and abandon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He was someone with an intense desire for control. Since he had decided to win Tianlin over, Tianlin could only belong to him.

There was only one thing that displeased him greatly. He had arranged for Tianlin to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy not only to bring him closer to himself, but also in the hope that he would clash with Yu Tianheng.

The future Sect Protecting Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family Heir—if they became irreconcilable enemies, it would inevitably affect the relationship between their two clans. That was why he had deliberately provoked them back at the sect.

Yet he had never expected that Tianlin would not only fail to become enemies with Yu Tianheng, but would instead become friends with him through Ye Lingling as their link. His plan had completely gone in the opposite direction.

An disobedient child truly needs proper discipline! A trace of malice rose in Xue Qinghe's heart.

Tianlin suddenly felt a chill run through him, as though something dangerous had fixed its gaze on him.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, I looked through your notes. You seem to have been researching Soul Beasts with Attribute Power, haven't you?" Xue Qinghe was truly attentive. From Tianlin's records on Soul Beasts alone, he had discovered what Tianlin was studying.

There was no need to deny it. Tianlin said directly, "Yes. For my sword to grow, it needs to absorb Soul Rings of various attributes."

"I see. That sword currently contains only the water attribute. No wonder it can't display the power a Divine Spirit should possess!" Xue Qinghe finally understood. No wonder Tianlin had been researching attribute-based Soul Beasts. If they wanted to complete their Martial Soul Fusion as soon as possible, perhaps he needed to contribute some help.

Once he returned, he would have Uncle She make a trip back to Spirit Hall to retrieve their Soul Beast records. The Soul Beast information gathered by Spirit Hall was undoubtedly the most comprehensive on the continent.

"Um, Brother Xue, do you have anything else to do?" Tianlin asked. In truth, he hoped Xue Qinghe would leave soon. Being around him put him under far too much pressure.

"There is one more thing. Come, get on the bed with me." Xue Qinghe suddenly rose to his feet and walked over to the bed.

Tianlin was instantly dumbfounded with fright. Qian Renxue doesn't intend to force herself on me, does she? I'm only seven years old. My equipment hasn't even grown in properly yet. Isn't this a little too rushed?

Only when Xue Qinghe sat cross-legged on the bed and began circulating his Soul Power did Tianlin realize he had misunderstood. Xue Qinghe wanted to cultivate with him.

"Come, Xiao Tian. Sit in front of me and place your palms against mine. I feel that our Martial Souls are highly compatible. Perhaps we can do more than fuse—we may even be able to assist each other's cultivation," Xue Qinghe said.

Tianlin also understood the possibility and benefits of this. It was like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in the future, who could cultivate through the Martial Soul Fusion Power, Hao Dong Power. It was much faster than cultivating alone.

Without hesitation, Tianlin sat opposite Xue Qinghe and pressed his palms against his.

In an instant, their Soul Power fused together as though there were no barriers between them.

Xue Qinghe was overjoyed and immediately began circulating the Angel Meditation Method passed down through his family, while Tianlin instinctively used the Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method.

With the two highest-grade meditation methods and the Martial Soul Fusion Power assisting one another, the speed at which their Soul Power increased was simply astonishing.

Two hours later, the two finally awakened from meditation.

Tianlin felt that his Soul Power had risen by a great deal. At this rate, if he cultivated together with Xue Qinghe a few more times, he would soon break through to level twenty.

Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, gained far less than Tianlin. His cultivation speed was indeed faster than before, but not by much. That was because his Soul Power was simply far higher than Tianlin's. With such a massive gap between them, he could only help Tianlin, while Tianlin's assistance to him was pitifully small.

However, what delighted him was that, due to cultivating alongside the Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method, the Soul Power within his body had actually been purified. To him now, this was even more important than an increase in Soul Power, because it concerned his future Divine Throne Inheritance.

"What incredible fusion power! It can purify Soul Power while cultivating at the same time. Xiao Tian, you truly are my lucky star!" Xue Qinghe pulled Tianlin into his arms.

Tianlin could only think, So flat. Has this Qian Renxue not developed yet, or is her transformation skill simply so perfect that even this gets smaller when she becomes Xue Qinghe?

"Xiao Tian, why don't you stop living in the dormitory and come live with Brother Xue in the East Palace? You felt how powerful our fusion power is, didn't you? Although we still can't use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, as long as we work hard, we'll be able to do it someday," Xue Qinghe said excitedly.

"There's no need, Brother Xue. I'd rather stay in the dormitory. My friends are all here, and I don't want to be separated from them." Tianlin hurriedly refused. Are you kidding? If I lived with Xue Qinghe, all my secrets would be dug out within days.

Xue Qinghe frowned. He really wanted to say that Tianlin did not need any friends—that having him was enough.

Unfortunately, he was currently the wise and virtuous crown prince, not the willful young lady of Spirit Hall. He could only say, "All right, then. But you must promise me that you'll come to the East Palace once every few days."

"This fusion power is greatly beneficial to both you and me. We can't let such a good cultivation opportunity slip away!"

Tianlin knew this was Xue Qinghe's bottom line. If he refused again, Xue Qinghe might send a Titled Douluo to abduct him. So he immediately nodded in agreement, which barely managed to satisfy Xue Qinghe.
