"Damn it, I actually got knocked down by a few little brats. No, I have to pretend I let them win. I can't let them laugh at me."

After Zhao Wuji had partially recovered, he thought for a moment, then called Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong over.

Bai Yu looked calm, while Ning Rongrong was somewhat proud, feeling that a Soul Saint was nothing special.

Zhao Wuji rubbed the bruises on his face and said to them:

"Later, I'll use my Third Soul Skill to suppress you. The two of you release your soul skills together, understand?"

Ning Rongrong was rather bewildered and did not understand Zhao Wuji's intentions. Bai Yu also put on a confused expression, though he had already guessed what Zhao Wuji was trying to do. After all, this was the outcome he wanted to see.

Zhao Wuji summoned his third Soul Ring and used his Third Soul Skill, Gravity Suppression. Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong immediately felt as if a small mountain were pressing down on them.

"Seven Treasures Exude Glazed Light, One is Strength!"

Ning Rongrong summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Bai Yu also summoned the Human Emperor Banner. At the same time, he made another modification, causing Zhao Wuji's Gravity Suppression to disappear when he and Ning Rongrong used their skills together.

Zhao Wuji struck his left palm with his right fist and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, I knew it! Whenever the two of you attack together, you can remove all nearby negative effects. That's why my Gravity Suppression was ineffective against you several times!"

"You two are natural partners!"

Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong both looked slightly confused. They exchanged a glance, unable to understand what was happening before them.

Of course, Bai Yu was pretending, because he had deliberately guided everything toward this outcome.

Ning Rongrong looked at Bai Yu and asked:

"What great family are you from?"

Bai Yu smiled and asked in return:

"Why do you ask?"

Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, wearing an expression that said, "Isn't this common sense?" Still, she patiently explained:

"Your Martial Soul is no worse than my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. You must be a Soul Master from some great family, but I've never heard of any family that uses a banner as its Martial Soul. Exactly what family are you from?"

Bai Yu chuckled.

"I'm merely a commoner."

Ning Rongrong frowned. She did not believe that a civilian could awaken such a powerful Martial Soul.

Zhao Wuji coughed twice. Sure enough, he deliberately avoided asking about the details of the earlier battle and instead shifted the topic to Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong's Martial Souls. That way, no one would pay attention to the fact that a Soul Saint had been beaten into fleeing in panic by several Soul Grandmasters.

Still, he remained extremely puzzled. What exactly had caused those bursts of stabbing pain just now?

Even if he had not actively defended himself, two Support System Soul Masters and two Agility Attack System Soul Masters should not have been able to break through his defenses!

Just as Zhao Wuji was puzzled, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked at Bai Yu and asked:

"What weapon did you use just now?"

Zhao Wuji's expression brightened. He glanced at Bai Yu while pretending not to care.

Bai Yu had long prepared an explanation.

"This is a Hidden Weapon Tang San gave me. It's a weapon used in secret—well-concealed, fast, and powerful."

As he spoke, he took out a Silver Needle. Tang San really had given it to him.

Zhao Wuji frowned.

"Such a tiny thing has that much power?"

Bai Yu smiled.

"Earlier, I bought a piece of Hair Crystal from Dean Flender's little shop. It's an excellent material for making Hidden Weapons."

Everyone suddenly understood.

Bai Yu chuckled inwardly. I only said Hair Crystal is good material for making Hidden Weapons. I didn't say anything else. If you insist on making assumptions, that has nothing to do with me.

At that moment, Flender, Dai Mubai, and Oscar hurried over. Dai Mubai had been sent by Zhao Wuji to fetch Flender, while Oscar had happened to run into Dai Mubai on the road and insisted on tagging along to watch the excitement.

When Flender arrived, he asked in a grave voice:

"What happened?"

Zhao Wuji explained his discovery. Flender stared at Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong in astonishment and said in shock:

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head.

"No, it doesn't seem like one. Big Brother, doesn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill require two people to actively cooperate in order to release it? Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong merely acted together passively, yet such an effect naturally appeared. What's going on here?"

Flender fell silent and muttered:

"I don't know either, but I believe someone does. Mubai, go to my office and invite the person there over."

Dai Mubai froze for a moment, but he still did as instructed and ran toward Flender's office.

Great Master is here too? Bai Yu subconsciously looked at Xiao Wu, only to see her staring at Ning Rongrong with jealous eyes.

Noticing Bai Yu's gaze, Xiao Wu turned her face away, looking like she was sulking.

Such a childish temper. Bai Yu suddenly looked into the distance. At the end of the path, Great Master and Tang San were walking over together.

Flender pushed up his glasses and introduced them.

"That is Yu Xiaogang, a Master who studies Martial Soul Theory. Starting today, he will also be your teacher."

After Flender finished speaking and turned around, he saw that Xiao Wu and the others had hurriedly hidden far away upon seeing Tang San.

Xiao Wu whispered to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing:

"Let me tell you, that Great Master is Tang San's teacher too. He was in Nuoding City."

While Xiao Wu was introducing Great Master's glorious past, Great Master and Tang San arrived. Flender immediately told Great Master about Zhao Wuji's discovery. Great Master fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he suddenly sighed:

"Fate!"

Everyone: "?"

"You two are natural partners, perfect companions, because your Martial Souls are one hundred percent compatible. Otherwise, such an effect would never have appeared."

Xiao Wu widened her eyes and asked in disbelief:

"Really? What's the theoretical basis for that?"

Great Master coughed lightly and casually skipped over the question.

"Everyone knows that Martial Soul Fusion Skills depend on compatibility. The higher the compatibility, the stronger the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong can produce such an effect without even actively cooperating to release a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. That proves their Martial Souls are a perfect match!"

Xiao Wu: "??"

Answer my question, you old bastard!

Great Master's words bluffed everyone. They all looked at Bai Yu and Ning Rongrong as if the two of them were a couple, which made Oscar extremely envious.

Ning Rongrong frowned and looked at Great Master.

"Why have I never heard of this theory? What if it was just a coincidence?"

Having heard of Great Master's glorious past, she had little trust in this half-baked Great Master.

In order to preserve his dignity and establish his prestige, Great Master immediately made something up with a serious expression.

"Of course you haven't heard of it. This is one of the Martial Soul theories I created myself. Do you understand Martial Soul Fusion Skills? You don't, but I do. Why can't you just grab any two people off the street and have them release a Martial Soul Fusion Skill? Because this thing requires Martial Soul compatibility. So what is Martial Soul compatibility?"

"It's easy to understand the word 'compatibility' literally. Who is more compatible, a married couple or two strangers? Naturally, a married couple. Who is more compatible, a pair of partners who have known each other for years or two strangers? Naturally, a pair of partners. So, the two of you—"

Yu Xiaogang had originally wanted to say, "So if the two of you train together for a long time and become partners, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill will definitely be very powerful," but Bai Yu directly changed "partners" into "married couple"!

Thus, Yu Xiaogang calmly said:

"So if the two of you train together for a long time and become a married couple, your Martial Soul Fusion Skill will definitely be very powerful!"

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned. Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed slightly as she shot Bai Yu a quick glance, then frowned and scolded Yu Xiaogang:

"You little old man are disgusting. You start making dirty remarks the moment you open your mouth. What do you mean by training together for a long time? Explain yourself!"
