Twin Martial Soul Fusion Skill

On Shrek Academy's side, Zhou Yi sighed. "I never expected this New Tang Sect Academy Team to make it into the final eight without even a single Soul King."

"So what? Don't tell me they actually think they can beat our Shrek Academy."

"Xiaotao, don't be too arrogant. There's something very strange about these people. That seemingly inexhaustible soul power of theirs alone is impossible to explain."

"Hmph, one blast of my fire will wipe them out. What good will all that soul power do them then?"

Zhou Yi shook her head at the overly conceited Ma Xiaotao, thinking, Unless this girl suffers a setback, I'm afraid she'll never change that arrogant temper of hers.

Beside them, Wang Dong asked Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, did you notice anything?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Nothing at all. I just think his twin martial souls are rather unusual."

"That's true. Twin martial souls that can be wielded simultaneously are very rare. Usually, twin martial souls are either both tool martial souls or both beast martial souls.

"Now I'm even starting to suspect this guy is hiding a Twin Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Does something like that really exist?"

"Who knows? Maybe it really does!"

It did indeed exist. Behind the scenes, Tang Yi had just refreshed the game shop with a new item: the Martial Soul Fusion Card (usable with twin martial souls).

Qian Xixi discovered the card right away. It wasn't cheap, costing 10,000 Fate Coins, but its effect was considerable.

As everyone knew, during the early storyline of Peerless Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao relied entirely on his martial soul fusion skills with Wang Dong to show off.

Without those martial soul fusion skills, Huo Yuhao would have been a complete rookie early on. After all, his soul power rank was far too low at that stage.

Naturally, Qian Xixi bought it without hesitation and used it.

Qian Xixi: "Hahaha, awesome! A martial soul fusion skill really lives up to its name. We've got a shot at the championship!"

Wang Zhongwang: "What? What's going on? What happened?"

Qian Xixi: "Check out the new Martial Soul Fusion Card in the shop."

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Holy shit! A martial soul fusion skill, the ultimate tool for a protagonist to show off! So jealous, so jealous!"

Primordial One: "Whales only! You have to whale your way to twin martial souls before you can even use it. The devs are such fucking animals!"

Agile Dog in the Mountains: "Whales paying for the experience is fair enough. What I hate is that probability-based crap where you spend money and still might not get the experience. That's the real bullshit!"

Ten-Year Veteran: "@Qian Xixi, what's your martial soul fusion skill?"

Qian Xixi: "Taotie Swallows the Heavens!"

Wang Zhongwang: "Sounds badass just from the name! What does it actually do?"

Qian Xixi: "Instantly drains all soul power within a certain range, including what's inside opponents' bodies and what's stored in soul tools."

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Badass! Without soul power, how the hell are our opponents supposed to fight?"

I Am an Angel: "It should have a weakness, right? If it has no weaknesses whatsoever, it's a bug."

Qian Xixi: "The range scales with my soul power rank, so it isn't very large at this stage. It also doesn't distinguish friend from foe, including me. But we all have mana potions, so that's not much of a problem."

Ten-Year Veteran: "Yeah, that's already very powerful. We can use it as a trump card."

In the end, Ten-Year Veteran and I Am an Angel also gritted their teeth and shelled out some cash to buy Martial Soul Fusion Cards.

Behind the scenes, Tang Yi received another batch of Fortune Points and was delighted.

"Yes, just like that. Now I can understand what those damned game devs enjoy about this. Hahaha..."

Back with the players, they were also interested in Ten-Year Veteran's and I Am an Angel's martial soul fusion skills.

Qian Xixi: "What are your martial soul fusion skills like? Hurry up and tell us."

Wang Zhongwang: "Exactly, exactly! Hurry up and tell us. Don't keep us hanging."

Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "They must be really powerful, right? There aren't any weak martial soul fusion skills in Soul Land."

Ten-Year Veteran: "My martial soul fusion skill is called Overlord's Strike. It summons a phantom of Xiang Yu the Overlord to deliver a powerful blow. I'm not sure exactly how powerful it is, but I think severely injuring a Soul Emperor shouldn't be a problem."

Primordial One: "Xiang Yu the Overlord! That's so cool-a strike from Xiang Yu the Overlord. Forget severely injuring a Soul Emperor; I wouldn't be surprised even if it severely injured a Soul Sage."

Agile Dog in the Mountains: "I like playing Xiang Yu in other games too. Overlord Slash sounds badass."

I Am an Angel: "My martial soul fusion skill is called Solar Judgment. Basically, it summons a small sun and smashes it down. Its features are a wide area of effect and high destructive power. I think it should also be able to severely injure a Soul Emperor, and it comes with fire and holy attributes."

Spirit Hall Eternal: "Those are all badass martial soul fusion skills. Have you noticed how these things always arrive at just the right time?"

Primordial One: "Yeah. Isn't it obvious? The devs are definitely baiting us into spending! Those damned devs really know how to play people's minds."

Qian Xixi: "Hehe... That may be true, but I think this money was well spent. At least it lets me experience the joy of showing off."

I Am an Angel and Ten-Year Veteran also chuckled. It was only because the rich Qian Xixi had taken the lead that they had followed along and spent money.

Without Qian Xixi taking the lead, they really wouldn't have poured so much money into the game.

Next came the quarterfinals of the Soul Master Tournament.

The players' opponent in this match was Diao Academy. Diao Academy had also appeared in the original storyline, with a Soul Emperor captain named Jiang Peng whose strength was considerable.

Upon entering the team battle arena, Jiang Peng looked arrogantly at the players.

"It's a miracle your team managed to scrape this far. But this is where your run ends. Today, I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat."

In the players' eyes, Jiang Peng was nothing but a clown.

Wang Zhongwang: "Where did this moron come from? I remember his instant defeat in the original storyline had perfect timing. He'd barely finished showing off before someone one-shotted him with a cannon."

Primordial One: "That really was perfect timing. Are we sticking to the same tactics?"

Ten-Year Veteran: "No changes. I Am an Angel joins the fight. Everyone else keeps charging the Super-Concentrated Soul Guidance Cannon."

As soon as the match began, Ten-Year Veteran charged straight at Jiang Peng.

Holding his martial soul, the Heaven-Shaking Axe, Jiang Peng was utterly disdainful.

"Get out of my way!"

The Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear clashed head-on with the Heaven-Shaking Axe. Ten-Year Veteran did come off worse, his health bar instantly dropping by a chunk.

Still, this was well within acceptable limits. He could hold Jiang Peng up long enough all by himself.

Seeing Ten-Year Veteran attack him again, intent on tying him down, Jiang Peng roared angrily, "You're courting death! Take my Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes!"

Jiang Peng swung the Heaven-Shaking Axe repeatedly, unleashing an assault like a gale and a torrential downpour.

Seated on the Flame-Treading Black Steed, Ten-Year Veteran also whirled his Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear so tightly that not even a breath of wind could get through.

When the final chop of Jiang Peng's Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes fell, Ten-Year Veteran and his mount were sent flying backward together. However, Ten-Year Veteran still had a tenth of his health bar left, and after downing a health potion, his health bar was slowly recovering.

"What?! You took my entire Eighteen Dragon-Slaying Slashes and came out completely unscathed?"

Ten-Year Veteran: "A Soul Emperor? Heh, nothing special!"
