"Linlin, do you trust me?"
Gu Yue panted, her fair hands braced against Tang Wulin's shoulders. Her silver hair fluttered wildly in the wind, but her pale golden eyes shone with unprecedented resolve and tenderness.
Tang Wulin looked at her and nodded firmly without the slightest hesitation. "I always have."
"Trust me." Gu Yue's lips curved into a breathtaking smile. Though her voice was soft, it carried a reassuring strength. "This time, let me protect you. Our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is far stronger than their so-called Ice and Snow Goddess. It's the strongest of all Martial Soul Fusion Skills."
Before her words had faded, Gu Yue flashed behind Tang Wulin and hugged him tightly.
The entire arena fell deathly silent, then erupted into a deafening uproar.
"What... what are they doing? Do they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill too?"
"You've got to be kidding! Their attributes are completely different. One is a plant type, and the other is an elemental envoy. How could they possibly fuse?"
In the stands, everyone from Shrek Academy and all the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy stared at the scene with wide, disbelieving eyes.
As speculation ran rampant, a dazzling light suddenly burst from their entwined bodies.
This was not the illusory light of before, but a seven-colored radiance brimming with substance!
When the light faded, the two figures in the arena had vanished, replaced by an entirely new figure.
It was a young man with an upright bearing and handsome features, unmistakably resembling Tang Wulin. Yet now, his form was utterly solid, as though he were a real person. Unlike the illusory figure from before, this time he radiated a terrifying pressure that seemed capable of changing the very color of heaven and earth.
