Zhao Feng took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the pain, and focused his attention on his own soul frequency. He slowly adjusted it, making it gentler, more agile, drawing closer to Lin Mo's and Qian Renxue's frequencies. Lin Mo adjusted as well, his frequency becoming steadier, heavier, drawing closer to Zhao Feng's and Qian Renxue's. Qian Renxue did the same, her frequency becoming sharper, more resolute, drawing closer to Zhao Feng's and Lin Mo's frequencies.
The three frequencies slowly drew together through the pain until, at a certain instant, they overlapped perfectly.

With a clear hum, the three souls burst with dazzling light at the same time. The light intertwined, forming a massive Golden Light Pillar. Their souls began to fuse. Zhao Feng's steadiness and weight, Lin Mo's sharpness and agility, Qian Renxue's nobility and gentleness—all blended perfectly together, transforming into a brand-new soul form.

"It's too powerful..." Lin Mo's voice sounded as well. "I feel as if I have endless strength."
"Focus. Don't let your attention scatter." Qian Renxue's voice rang out, calm and firm. "The Soul Fusion state won't last long.
