Compared to Qian Renxue successfully suppressing her own curiosity, Jin Yang grew curious instead.
After all, he knew the origin of his own Martial Soul.
He never expected that a Sunflower from the Plants vs. Zombies World could have such a high compatibility with the Angel Martial Soul of the Douluo World.
As for physical strength, that went without saying, and he was confident he wouldn't lose by much to Qian Renxue.
After all, people on the Douluo Continent basically didn't practice body conditioning at all.
He was different, however, as he had been eating sunlight ever since the day of his Martial Soul Awakening. Having eaten it for six or seven years, his physical strength had long since reached an unfathomable level.
"Qian Renxue, don't worry about me. My physical strength is exceptionally high. If you don't believe me, I can let you get a feel for it."
Jin Yang controlled his Martial Soul and set himself down.
He walked toward Qian Renxue, rolled up his sleeves, and bared his sturdy arm.
As his muscles bulged, Jin Yang's skin took on a golden glow.
Qian Renxue extended her slender, delicate hand and touched Jin Yang's muscle with her Soul Power like a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.
"?" Qian Renxue was astonished to discover that the strength of Jin Yang's muscles was unexpectedly high, even surpassing her own slightly.
"How can your physical strength be this high?"
Qian Renxue was so surprised that she even forgot to call him Uncle-Master.
"How about it? Can we finally execute the Martial Soul Fusion Skill now?" Jin Yang sidestepped the question and spoke of other things, putting down his arm, smoothing out his clothes, and looking at Qian Renxue with a smile.
Ever since the previous Soul Ring exposure incident, Jin Yang had grown much more vigilant.
Fortunately, Qian Renxue didn't pay too much mind to it either.
After all, as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, her resources were not to be underestimated either.
It was just a pity that, busy as she was going undercover in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, she had wasted a significant amount of cultivation time.
Otherwise, not to mention breaking through to the Soul Saint realm right now.
Even reaching the realm of a Soul Douluo was not something out of the question to aspire to.
Qian Renxue gently nodded, her gaze turning resolute.
"Then let's begin!" Qian Renxue gave a soft cry, her Soul Power beginning to surge, and naturally Jin Yang refused to be outdone.
The Soul Power of the two people began to touch, intertwine, and entangle.
It was just like the positive and negative poles of a magnet.
Attracting each other together.
As the Soul Power of the two fused more and more, going deeper and deeper.
The Martial Souls of the two also began to show signs of fusion.
Their Soul Rings lit up simultaneously, touching one another.
Jin Yang and Qian Renxue locked eyes, their gazes intersecting and their minds connecting as one; at this moment, it seemed as though the entire world had been reduced to just the two of them.
Finally, at a certain moment.
Jin Yang and Qian Renxue were covered by overlapping Martial Souls that could no longer be told apart, until it finally erupted with a blinding golden light as bright as the midday sun.
The figures of the two were gone from the spot, leaving behind only a tall, blond adult male with a handsome face and a merciful, sacred expression, wearing a Priest Robe woven from gold and white and embroidered with a sunlight pattern.
Jin Yang opened his eyes.
Feeling this long-absent perspective, he couldn't help but smile.
"It turned out to be centered around me? Then let's test our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Qian Renxue."
Jin Yang channeled the power within his body, transforming it into strands of golden thread that flew out from his palms, tracing brilliant trajectories across the sky before converging into a massive golden magic array suspended above the training ground.
The moment the array formed, it activated instantly.
Countless specks of golden light rained down, turning into a golden spring drizzle that sank into the earth, grass, and trees.
"Swish! Rumble!"
The earth trembled, and the vegetation grew frantically, entangling and fusing together.
Something seemed about to burrow out from beneath the training ground.
Sure enough, a massive "arm" radiating golden light burst out from beneath the earth.
Followed closely by a second arm, a third arm...
Countless arms rose straight from the ground, forming a gigantic, golden-radiating, plant-based humanoid monster with a thousand arms and a thousand eyes.
The monster's arms waved through the air, and wherever they passed, all things revived and were filled with vitality.
Yet aside from the power of restoration, Jin Yang could also sense the unreleased, berserk energy churning within its body.
"No way, bro?! Is this right?"
Jin Yang called it bizarre straight out.
He had thought of thousands of possibilities, but he never expected that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between him and Qian Renxue would turn out like this.
This Martial Soul fusion body seemed to still have spare capacity.
However, that portion required Qian Renxue to take the lead.
And so Jin Yang handed over the control of the body to Qian Renxue.
The Martial Soul fusion body instantly transformed into a female angel possessing three pairs of wings; her wings covered her eyes, her wings carried her in flight, and her wings covered her feet, holding a golden sword in her hand as if she could suppress all things in this world.
Qian Renxue twitched the corners of her mouth as she looked at the huge, unyielding, light-attribute plant monster standing before her like a city wall.
"Does this count as summoning something similar to a Soul Beast?"
Qian Renxue had never seen a summoning-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill before.
Today, she had finally witnessed one.
Sensing the surging power within her body, Qian Renxue's gaze remained calm as a stagnant pond. With a casual wave of her hand, a scorching, gigantic sword radiance howled forth, slashing a deep and long ravine several hundred meters long into the mountain forest ahead.
Blazing Purifying Flame surged wantonly within the ravine.
Fortunately, this direction was deep within the Sunset Forest where there were no human traces, and no one would be injured as a result.
"So strong!"
Qian Renxue praised.
"Such concentrated sacred power."
Qian Renxue was utterly shocked.
She now admitted that Martial Soul Fusion Skills were indeed exceptionally powerful.
Qian Renxue tested the power of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill a bit more simply.
Every single strike was overwhelmingly strong.
Perhaps it couldn't compare to a Soul Douluo, but right now, under the Martial Soul fusion state, she could definitely go toe-to-toe with a Soul Saint.
Looking at the plant monster with a thousand arms and a thousand eyes that still remained motionless, Qian Renxue had no choice but to cede her leading position.
Once Jin Yang's consciousness returned to its place, the thousand-armed, thousand-eyed plant monster reacted once again.
Jin Yang could feel that he could either exercise comprehensive control over it or simply issue a single command to make it act on its own accord.
However, compared to when Qian Renxue dominated the consciousness, the Soul Skills under his own conscious control were much weaker.
If this Martial Soul fusion form of his were to fight Qian Renxue's form that resembled the biblical seraphim, he would probably just be beaten into a living punching bag by Qian Renxue.
Though its strength was great, its speed was extremely sluggish.
Aside from acting as a meat shield and support, Jin Yang hadn't yet developed any other uses for it in this short span of time; the berserk energy inside the giant plant monster had no outlet for release, which seemed to be because his mastery over Soul Power was simply too low.
Though it could currently make all things revive and possessed healing effects.
Yet if a fight broke out, who would have the luxury to care about that?
Still, this was within expectations, seeing as he himself was fundamentally a support-type Soul Master, and merely a lowly Soul Elder at that.
It was normal that he lacked strong control over it when performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Qian Renxue, who was at the Soul Emperor realm.
As the two of them dismantled the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the thousand-armed, white-eyed giant plant also turned into golden light and scattered into the air.
Jin Yang and Qian Renxue stood facing each other.
At this moment, both of their hearts were filled with a myriad of emotions.
Especially Qian Renxue, whose heart had long since been churning with stormy waves.
She knew very well just how formidable the Martial Soul Fusion Skill between her and Jin Yang was.
"Uncle-Master, it seems that you and our Spirit Hall truly share a predestined bond written in the stars."
The Spirit Hall that Qian Renxue spoke of specifically referred to the Qian Family lineage of Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue was already pondering how to break the news of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to Qian Daoliu.
After all, this was simply too unimaginably bizarre.
A God-Bestowed Martial Soul could actually achieve a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with an ordinary Martial Soul.
