Shennong Angel Sacred Form

Golden and green divine radiance flowed together. The moment it enveloped them, Jiang Baiyu and Qian Renxue both froze.

It was a sensation neither had ever experienced, one that transcended flesh and Soul Power as they blended seamlessly together.

Their Soul Power was the first to merge.

The gentle, unending Shennong Plant Life Force within Jiang Baiyu no longer remained confined to his own meridians. Carrying the fragrance of a hundred herbs and the promise of all things returning to life, that soft green vitality flowed through the point where they touched and into every part of Qian Renxue, meeting neither obstruction nor resistance.

Qian Renxue's fierce, sacred Angel Light, imbued with divine order, shed the severity of judgment. It became a warm golden current that flowed back into Jiang Baiyu's core and meridians, steadily strengthening his Soul Power.

Then came something deeper—an opening between their souls, a complete understanding of each other's hearts.

In that instant, every barrier fell away, and countless fragments of memory followed.

Jiang Baiyu clearly sensed everything Qian Renxue had hidden deep in her heart: her childhood loneliness, the grief and despair she had felt upon learning of her father's death, the exhaustion of disguising herself as Xue Qinghe and patiently laying her plans, the heavy duty she had been born to bear with her Angel Bloodline, and the trace of uncertainty and tenderness no one knew lay beneath her cold exterior.

The worries, restraint, wariness, and loneliness she had never shared with anyone poured into his mind without reserve.

At the same time, pieces of Jiang Baiyu's life appeared in Qian Renxue's heart: his years of study, his pursuit of the Medicine Dao, his bearing of Eternal Evergreen's essence, his compassion for all living things, and his outlook on life. All of it lay before her soul, clear as still water.

What she did not notice was that one memory fragment, suffused with emerald light, had not entered her mind.

In this strange state, they needed no words, no exchanged glances, no tentative questions. Each could see the other's thoughts, feelings, and state of mind at once.

The feeling was too strange, too wondrous. It went far beyond any ordinary understanding between two people.

Qian Renxue felt the warmth of the gentle plant life force filling her. It gave warmth to a sky that had once stood aloof, allowing a god high above to notice the people below and feel compassion for them.

As for Jiang Baiyu, his gentle, peaceful path of Eternal Evergreen grew even more vibrant beneath the Angel Light.

Their hearts beat together, their breaths fell into rhythm, and their souls resonated. In all the world, only their mingled essences and connected hearts remained.

This was the true meaning of a complete martial soul fusion—not the addition of strength, but the embrace of two souls and the joining of their destinies.

They smiled at the same time, each feeling the other's joy directly.

A smile appeared on the young deity's face as well.

"How beautiful!" the onlookers exclaimed. It had nothing to do with gender. It was the smile of a god gazing fondly upon a beloved creation.

Su Wu stepped forward and asked calmly, "Baiyu, Xiao Xue, what is your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

At his question, everyone pricked up their ears, eager to learn the name of this deity.

With a shared thought, a voice filled with divinity spoke slowly. "This is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Shennong Angel Sacred Form."

Then it added, "This skill has two sides. I feel that after fusing my martial soul with Baiyu's, I'm almost at the threshold of becoming a Title Douluo." Qian Renxue was the one leading the fusion as she spoke.

Jiang Baiyu was more direct. "I feel like I could beat you now." Hearing such blunt words from the compassionate deity, Su Wu could barely contain himself. He clenched his fists. He's my own boy. I'll have to beat him within an inch of his life.

"Baiyu!"

The deity slowly closed their eyes. After a moment, Qian Renxue spoke through them again. "There are two main forms. The first takes my angel as its core. It's an offensive soul skill—Heavenly Light Dust-Cutting."

As she spoke, the Shennong Angel Sacred Form's eyes turned golden and its expression grew severe. The staff in its hand became a long sword, and it murmured, "Heavenly light descends and cuts away all worldly corruption."

Then it swung its sword lightly toward a distant valley. A beam of sacred, reddish-gold light crashed down, turning every stone in its path to nothing. It left a long reddish-gold scar that radiated a holy aura, while specks of life began to emerge from it.

"Against an enemy, it triggers Holy Light Judgment. If judgment succeeds, the soul skill locks onto its target and gains a threefold attack boost. Anyone it strikes will be torn apart by holy light and utterly erased by the Life Dao," the voice said.

Beside them, Snake Lance and Pufferfish swallowed as they sensed the skill's destructive aura. This was more than the threshold of a Title Douluo. It was practically the power of a Super Douluo.

Su Wu had fallen silent. That brat Jiang Baiyu was right. He really might not be able to beat him.

The voice continued, "The other form takes my Shennong Cauldron as its core. It's a defensive and support skill—Myriad Woods Rejuvenation!"

As the words fell, the Shennong Angel Sacred Form's eyes turned emerald and its wings spread behind it. Green light drifted from the wooden staff and slowly expanded. In the blink of an eye, lush greenery covered the surroundings beneath emerald and crimson divine markings. Inside, the boundless vitality of the Shennong Cauldron covered the reddish-gold scar in an instant, and grass sprang up across it. Outside stood the Order Barrier, radiating the angel's holy light.

"Everyone within my domain has their negative effects removed and their Soul Power rapidly restored, so long as my Soul Power can support it. It's almost as good as immortality. The outer layer blocks attacks from beyond the domain, providing absolute defense until my Soul Power runs out. But the more people I heal, the more Soul Power it costs me." The voice held a note of regret.

To everyone listening, this was the more powerful skill. People inside the domain were nearly impossible to kill. It had a Soul Power limit, yes, but paired with a soul master army's battle formation during a war, it could turn the tide!

Two skills, one for attack and one for defense. Holy light swept across the land, while a hundred herbs sheltered all within their reach.

The fusion of two divine-level martial souls had granted them two astonishing soul skills.

"All right, that's enough. Maintaining a martial soul fusion consumes Soul Power. End it now," Su Wu urged when he saw the Shennong Angel Sacred Form dim after using both skills.

The Shennong Angel Sacred Form nodded. A moment later, the golden and green radiance filling the sky slowly receded like a tide.

The Shennong Angel Sacred Form vanished, leaving two figures in its place: a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman, both with extraordinary bearing.

Their martial soul fusion had ended, but the connection between their souls did not disappear with it. It remained like a fine thread linking their hearts.

They stood facing each other in the woods. The moonlight was cool, and the evening breeze was still.

Their hearts still held the echo of that shared rhythm. Even after their thoughts became their own again, they remained faintly connected. That was why pairs who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill so often became husband and wife.

Zhu Zhuqing gazed at the two beneath the moon and felt a pang of envy.

Then Jiang Baiyu's expression changed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

Instinct took over before Zhu Zhuqing could think. With Martial Soul Possession, she shot toward Jiang Baiyu like lightning.

By the time she came to her senses, Jiang Baiyu was lying in her arms. Beside her stood Qian Renxue, whose arms were still outstretched to catch him, and three old men frozen in shock.

Under their gazes, even Zhu Zhuqing's cool composure gave way to embarrassment. "I... I just wanted to check on... my senior." Her voice dwindled until it was barely louder than a mosquito's hum.

Su Wu came to her rescue. He stepped forward, checked Jiang Baiyu's pulse, and said, "The gap between your Soul Power levels is too large, and you used two skills in succession. Baiyu didn't have enough Soul Power and injured his meridians. He'll be fine after some sleep."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Ignoring the three old men's peculiar looks, Qian Renxue exhaled. She turned to Zhu Zhuqing, who was still holding Jiang Baiyu. "You're Zhu Zhuqing, right? Let's talk."

She handed Jiang Baiyu over to Su Wu, then led Zhu Zhuqing aside to speak in hushed voices.

The others did not eavesdrop when the two young women walked away. They simply watched the unconscious Jiang Baiyu.

Snake Lance said, "That brat. As if my young mistress weren't enough, he's gone and caught another girl's eye." All three old men had seen too much of life to be fooled. Zhu Zhuqing's explanation would not even have convinced herself.

Pufferfish chimed in, "Honestly, with his looks and talent, that boy will have girls falling for him everywhere once he's a little older. Old Su, you've got quite a grandson."

With both Title Douluo saying so, Su Wu could only laugh awkwardly. After all, his grandson had caught the attention of two young women at once!

Before long, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing returned, their expressions as composed as ever.

"All right, Grandpa Su, we're leaving. We'll visit again tomorrow." Qian Renxue waved.

Seeing the unreadable look on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Su Wu decided that, as an elder, he would stay out of it. He said nothing and took them back to the Rose Hotel.
