Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Heaven-and-Earth Net

Huang Chutian's gaze inadvertently fell on Lin Qianyi. He had noticed her during the previous matches. Although Lin Qianyi had barely made a move, her formidable Martial Soul and abundant Soul Power alone—

—were enough to make her methods impossible to fathom, like a secret hidden behind mist. Thus, he chose Lin Qianyi as his first target, intending for Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo to restrain Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao separately. As for Huo Yuhao, he did not seem threatening in Huang Chutian's eyes.

Yet how could Lin Qianyi fail to see through Huang Chutian's intentions? Without giving anything away, she merely shifted her gaze and cast Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao a meaningful look. The two instantly understood.

The instant the referee announced the start of the match, Huang Chutian let out an earth-shaking roar like an enraged lion and pounded his chest forcefully. In an instant, his body underwent a startling transformation—he shot up to nearly 1.8 meters tall, his school uniform almost tore apart, and his eyes changed from black to a chilling golden yellow. Beneath his feet, two yellow soul rings suddenly lit up, radiating dazzling light.

At that moment, the Martial Souls displayed by the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo behind him left Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stunned. Their Martial Souls were actually the exceptionally rare hair Body Martial Souls, a peculiar sight even on the Douluo Continent.

Lin Qianyi crossed her hands before her chest, her expression as tranquil as a still lake as she quietly watched everything unfold. Huang Chutian strode toward her, and the five-meter distance was nothing more than the blink of an eye to him in his fighting fervor.

He leaped up and launched a fierce attack at Lin Qianyi. Yet she simply shifted aside lightly and evaded it with ease. Then, she swiftly summoned her Martial Soul to block Huang Chutian's assault. Their powerful forces collided, forcing both of them back several steps.

Because Lin Qianyi needed to conceal part of her Soul Power, she did not dare to go all out. After several exchanges with Huang Chutian, the two traded offense and defense, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Watching from the side, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were frantic to help. But how could the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo simply stand by? They joined forces to hold the two back, making it difficult for them to break free.

Xiao Xiao summoned the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron and sent it charging fiercely toward Huang Chutian. The Martial Souls possessed by the Lan sisters were particularly troublesome. At that moment, they simultaneously unleashed their First Soul Skill—Myriad Law Silver Silk Woven Law Net!

The net of hair instantly spread open, blocking the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron in midair. Though the cauldron's impact was immense, it was temporarily stopped by the net and even bounced back by its extraordinary elasticity, hurtling straight toward Xiao Xiao.

At the critical moment, Wang Dong reacted swiftly, grabbing Xiao Xiao and pulling her backward. At the same time, he smashed the continuously shrinking net with a punch, barely stabilizing the Three Lives Soul-Calming Cauldron's attack and averting potential danger.

Silver threads cascaded like a waterfall. Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo interlocked their fingers, and countless strands of silver silk poured from their fingertips, weaving into a breathtaking yet unbreakable net. Wang Dong spread his wings, and his First Soul Skill, Winged Guillotine, sliced through the air toward the silver net. Yet the sharp blade-light failed to cut even a single strand and was instead tightly entangled within it.

Not far away, Lin Qianyi and Huang Chutian were locked in fierce combat. Just as she was about to break away to assist Wang Dong, Huang Chutian seized the chance and knocked her back with a punch. Lin Qianyi's delicate body trembled as she took a step back, her brows knitting slightly. The two clashed again, neither able to prevail.

Xiao Xiao anxiously looked from side to side. Wang Dong is trapped on one side, and Qianyi is held back on the other. Who should I help? At that moment, Huo Yuhao activated Spiritual Detection, taking in the entire battlefield. His figure flashed as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track silently brought him close to the Lan sisters. Purple light flared. "Soul Impact!" The two sisters immediately froze in place.

"Wang Dong, Second Soul Skill!" Huo Yuhao called out loudly. Wang Dong moved at once, and Butterfly God's Light bloomed, its tangible radiance breaking through the restraints.

On Lin Qianyi's side, seeing Huang Chutian gradually descend into a frenzy, she thought to herself, There's no benefit in remaining deadlocked like this. So, she deliberately exposed an opening, luring Huang Chutian into launching a fierce attack. Just as he threw his full-strength punch, Lin Qianyi performed an elegant backflip, not only evading the attack but also forcing him into a desperate position.

Before the Lan sisters could react, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had already cut off their path. Lin Qianyi gave a light shout. "First Soul Skill, Azure Luan Thousand Feathers!" In an instant, the phantom of a massive Azure Luan spread its wings behind her. Countless azure feathers rained down, striking directly at Huang Chutian.

As the final feather fell, referee Wang Yan announced, "Lin Qianyi's team wins!"

The freshmen assessment had reached its climax, with only the final eight spots remaining. This pivotal day of battles would determine who claimed the eighth place. Wang Yan loudly declared, "Today's match will be between Lin Qianyi's team from Freshman Class One and Ning Tian's team from Freshman Class Nine!"

Lin Qianyi and the other three, including Huo Yuhao, slowly entered the arena filled with the unknown. Every step seemed to tread upon the hearts of readers familiar with this story. Everyone knew that in the coming match—

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong should have shone like brilliant stars with their astonishing Martial Soul Fusion Skill, a glorious moment belonging solely to them. But with Lin Qianyi's presence, the entire situation was like a stone cast into a lake, sending out layer upon layer of complicated ripples.

Whether to use that powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill had become a new question requiring careful consideration. It concerned not only victory, but also the adaptation and cooperation of the team's new member.

The three people opposite them also wore school uniforms. The girl in the middle had short golden hair, and a lively gleam shone in her icy blue eyes.

The girl to her left had fiery red hair. Beneath her alluring figure and proud expression, her red eyes burned like flames. The girl on the right had gentle, refined features, with light green hair and dark green eyes, like a fresh touch of spring.

The proctor's voice rang out. "Both sides, enter the field." The two teams then moved toward the center. Lin Qianyi stood at the front, with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao on either side and Huo Yuhao in the middle. Opposite them, the blonde girl stood in the center, flanked by the red-haired girl and the light-green-haired girl.

The red-haired girl spoke first, her voice cold and faintly arrogant. "Freshman Class Nine, Wu Feng, Level 25 assault-type Soul Grandmaster." The other girl followed, "Freshman Class Nine, Nanmen Yun'er, Level 24 agility-type Soul Grandmaster." Finally, the golden-haired woman in the center said slowly, "Freshman Class Nine, Ning Tian, Level 31 support-type Tool Soul Master."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao were all shaken, surprise appearing on their faces. Only Lin Qianyi remained calm, as though everything before her had been within her expectations.

Huo Yuhao steadied himself and replied evenly, "Freshman Class One, Huo Yuhao, Level 17 control-type Tool Soul Scholar." When Wu Feng heard that number, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she found such a gap in levels beneath contempt.

Then Wang Dong lifted his chest and declared loudly, "Freshman Class One, Wang Dong, Level 25 assault-type Soul Grandmaster." When it was Xiao Xiao's turn, she said softly, "Freshman Class One, Xiao Xiao, Level 21 control-type Soul Grandmaster."

When Lin Qianyi's voice rang out, it was like a stone dropping into a tranquil lake, stirring wave after wave of ripples. "Freshman Class One, Lin Qianyi, Level 37 control-type Battle Soul Elder." The three opponents were instantly shocked by that level, their former confidence wavering for a moment in the face of such overwhelming strength.

At the referee's command, Wu Feng snorted coldly and shot into the air like lightning. In an instant, a dragon's roar resounded through the arena. Dragon Scales of varying sizes emerged across her body, gleaming with mysterious light. She clenched her fists and attacked Lin Qianyi with fierce momentum.

Lin Qianyi swiftly summoned her Martial Soul. The phantom of an Azure Luan appeared behind her, spreading its wings and turning to deftly block the strike. The collision of their powerful forces sent Wu Feng staggering back several steps. Meanwhile, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao had already squared off against Nanmen Yun'er.

Just as Nanmen Yun'er was about to launch an attack, Huo Yuhao's figure swayed slightly as he shouted in a low voice, "Mental Interference!" Invisible Spiritual Power instantly disrupted Nanmen Yun'er's mind, halting her attack. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao seized that fleeting opportunity, coordinating seamlessly as they counterattacked together and forced Nanmen Yun'er to retreat several steps to regain her footing.
