Lin Mo did not answer immediately, but slowly stood up and walked to an open space in the courtyard.
With a slight thought, Red light surged from his body, and the massive body of the Charizard appeared in the courtyard.
He raised his right hand, palm facing up.
The Charizard understood, raised its front claw, and gently placed Dragon Claw on Lin Mo's palm.
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
A dense aura of blood surged up around Lin Mo, and at the same time, blazing white flames erupted from the Charizard's body, completely enveloping it.
Blood energy and blazing white flames began to slowly approach and merge.
Two completely different forces merged together instantly, as if they were water and milk blending together.
When the last trace of blood energy and flames completely intertwined, Lin Mo and the Charizard were no longer visible in the courtyard.
Instead, a figure resembling a half-dragon appeared.
He grew slightly taller, and his muscle definition became more pronounced.
Fine, Golden Dragon appeared on the skin's surface, clinging tightly to it like a second layer.
Its hands transformed into Dragon Claw, and a pair of broad dragon wings slowly unfolded behind it. The wing membranes were translucent golden-red, with blood-red patterns flowing across them.
His eyes are the most striking feature.
Those jet-black eyes had now transformed into vertical pupils, with Red flames flickering deep within them.
At this moment, Lin Mo, in his half-dragon form, stood quietly, the pressure emanating from him vastly different from before.
If the pressure emanating from Lin Mo and the Charizard was only at the level of Five-Ring Soul King...
So now, even without using any amplifying Soul Skill, the aura he exudes in this state is already extremely close to the realm of Seven-Ring Soul Sage!
The courtyard was completely silent.
Dugu Bo suddenly stood up from his chair, his emerald green pupils shrinking sharply.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stared wide-eyed at the figure in the courtyard, incredulous.
"This—this is—" Dugu Yan's voice was a little dry.
Dugu Bo did not answer his granddaughter's question.
He stared intently at Lin Mo, his brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.
Because of the backlash he suffered from the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison, Dugu Bo has devoted a lot of energy to studying knowledge related to Martial Soul in recent years, and considers himself a semi-expert in this field.
The changes that had occurred in Lin Mo were still beyond his comprehension.
After a long pause, Dugu Bo finally spoke, his tone uncertain. " The Charizard... can it perform Martial Soul Possession just like a normal Beast Martial Soul?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head, denying the guess.
"That's not right," Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "I have never seen a Beast Martial Soul Master whose Martial Soul Possession could raise their aura by nearly two major realms."
In the courtyard, Lin Mo, in his half-dragon form, slowly raised his head.
Those pupils swept over everyone, finally settling on Dugu Bo.
He spoke, his voice a bit deeper than usual, but it was still unmistakably Lin Mo's.
" Senior Dugu is right, this is not Martial Soul Possession."
Lin Mo paused, then said, word by word, "It's a new ability I acquired after Charizard evolved."
" Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill resulting from the merging of the Charizard with my Body Martial Soul."
After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent once more.
" Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Dugu Yan repeated the term, her eyes filled with confusion.
Ye Lingling seemed thoughtful, then asked softly, "Like the Hell White Tiger passed down through generations between the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family?"
Dugu Bo added from the side, "Not only that, those two guys from the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Guan and Gui Mei, also have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill between them."
However, I don't know the specific name. Almost everyone who saw them use that move is gone. He looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression. " Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill —meaning, you completed Martial Soul Fusion that should have required two people all by yourself?"
Lin Mo nodded.
"In this state, I can use most of the Charizard's Soul Skill, as well as the full power of my Body Martial Soul."
He raised his Dragon Claw, palm facing upwards.
A wisp of blazing white flame burst into flame with a "poof," but within that flame, there were faint, flowing blood-red patterns.
"Moreover, blood and energy are fire."
Lin Mo slowly clenched his fist, the flames extinguished in his palm. "All my attacks will be imbued with the dual effects of my Body Martial Soul's blood energy and the Charizard's flames."
He looked at Dugu Bo, his tone serious. "With my current strength, even after using my Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I'm still no match for Titled Douluo."
"But-
With a gentle flap of his dragon wings, Lin Mo instantly appeared on the other side of the courtyard. His speed was so fast that only Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan could see his movements.
"Leveraging the infinite Teleport of the ' Spatial Battlefield,' the speed boost from 'Dragon Dance,' and the advantage of flight—"
Lin Mo's voice came from the other side of the courtyard.
"Given the advantage of having the upper hand and catching the unsuspecting opponent off guard, catching a Titled Douluo off guard and escaping from him shouldn't be a problem."
He paused, then added, "Of course, this is on the premise that this Titled Douluo isn't particularly skilled in speed."
After saying that, Lin Mo had a sudden thought.
The half-dragon form quickly dissipated, the blood and flames separated, and it transformed back into the figures of Lin Mo and the Charizard standing separately.
The Charizard roared and transformed into a red light, disappearing into Lin Mo's body.
The courtyard returned to calm.
Ye Linyuan slowly exhaled, his hand stroking his beard trembling slightly.
After a long silence, the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Douluo finally spoke softly, breaking the silence in the courtyard, "Now I finally understand why you were willing to expose yourself to the Spotlight."
"Besides, you spend most of your time with that Old Poison; very few people would dare to make a move on you to his face."
Even if you occasionally show your face in public, few Titled Douluo would stoop to dealing with a twelve-year-old child.
Even if there are truly shameless individuals determined to bully the weak—they would never expect you to unleash such astonishing strength.
"In this situation where someone is deliberately targeting you while you're caught off guard, you're more than capable of protecting yourself."
He gave Lin Mo a deep look, then suddenly laughed, "Good! What a brilliant Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Dugu Bo slammed his hand on the table and stood up, walking up to Lin Mo and patting him hard on the shoulder.
"Young man, you've truly broadened my horizons!"
Lin Mo felt a thud on his shoulder from the pat, and said with a wry smile, "Please show mercy, senior."
Dugu Bo withdrew his hand, stroked his chin, and suddenly asked, "Have you named this Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
He looked at Lin Mo: "Like the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family's Hell White Tiger."
Ye Lingling also spoke softly, "Yes, A-Mo, what's the name of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I've already thought of a name."
He looked at everyone and slowly uttered five words: " Crimson Blood Flame Dragon Transformation!"
Just as Lin Mo was demonstrating his Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill to everyone at the Ye Family Medical Hall, news about him was spreading rapidly throughout Heaven Dou City.
Having witnessed Lin Mo's Soul King cultivation at the age of twelve and his Fourth Soul Ring at ten thousand years old, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team couldn't wait to share this astonishing experience with their acquaintances after returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
