"Yan'er, are you all right?" Seeing that his girlfriend seemed distracted, Yu Tianheng stepped forward and asked with concern, reaching out with his large hand to take her delicate one.
Dugu Yan's brows knitted slightly. She slipped out of his reach and said calmly, "I'm fine. Let me be alone for a while."
Yu Tianheng still wanted to ask, "Yan'er, you..."
Dugu Yan cried out, "I said, leave me alone!"
"Uh... all right."
On the competition stage.
By now, the two sides had fought dozens of exchanges. Since they knew each other so well, the battle was fiercely contested.
Like Skywater Academy, the Divine Wind Blazing Fire Team had obvious strengths and weaknesses, so they couldn't afford to drag things out. They had to end the fight quickly.
Huo Wu cried out, "Feng Xiaotian, big brother, use that move!"
"All right!"
Huo Wushuang and another Blazing Fire Academy member unleashed their strongest Soul Skills at once, pouring all their Soul Power into Huo Wu.
"Third Soul Skill, Fire Sparks Like Rain!"
"Umm..." After receiving their Soul Power, Huo Wu fused it with her own in her hands.
This was Ring Fusion.
"Third Soul Skill, Gale Wings!"
Feng Xiaotian shot into the air and stopped above everyone, while Huo Wu poured all three people's fire-attribute Soul Power into him.
Boom, boom, boom...
An explosive bang rang out. Powerful Soul Power fluctuations radiated from Feng Xiaotian, containing both the fire attribute and his own wind attribute.
Shrek Academy.
Flender exclaimed in shock, "A Martial Soul Fusion Skill? How long have they been together? How can they already use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Yu Xiaogang spouted another round of nonsense. "It looks like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but in fact, they've gathered all four people's Soul Power into Feng Xiaotian. They intend to pin their hopes of victory on him."
"But with Xiao San here, we can't lose!"
On the competition stage.
Tang San's expression darkened, and he hurriedly said, "Mubai, Rongrong, get ready!"
"All right!"
The seven members of Shrek lined up in a row. Ning Rongrong stood at the very back and likewise used Ring Fusion, passing her Soul Power to Zhu Zhuqing in front of her.
Several breaths later...
Tang San received the other six people's Soul Power, and powerful Soul Power radiated from him as well. He then summoned the Clear Sky Hammer.
Feng Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. It's a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill! But their weakness is just as obvious. Ning Rongrong is the one who initiated it. As long as I take her out, this plan will collapse on its own.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In no time!
Tang San hurriedly activated Purple Demon Eye, then hefted the Clear Sky Hammer and clashed head-on with Feng Xiaotian.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
For a time, the two were evenly matched.
When they separated again, Feng Xiaotian no longer intended to keep fighting like this. He planned to use the strongest move of their Martial Soul Fusion:
"Blazing Wind Sweeps Forth!"
Tang San shouted, "You can't beat me! Tool Soul Avatar!"
A gigantic yellow Clear Sky Hammer appeared in midair amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder. With the six people's Soul Power gathered into him and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's boost, Tang San's Soul Power had surpassed level seventy.
That was also why he could use Tool Soul Avatar.
Feng Xiaotian roared, "Seventy-two consecutive strikes, first strike!"
"Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
Bang! Boom, boom, boom...
This exchange was exceptionally fierce. Even though Feng Xiaotian executed his ultimate technique perfectly, he still couldn't gain any advantage against Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer.
One had perseverance and hard work; the other had cheats and fortune.
So Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu were destined to lose.
"Hah... Nine Nines Return to One!" Tang San roared, swinging the Clear Sky Hammer and sending Feng Xiaotian flying.
Feng Xiaotian grunted and fell to the ground in a sorry state, unable to fight any longer.
Seeing the result, Huo Wu gritted her little fangs in anger and clenched her delicate hands. The Divine Wind Blazing Fire Team, which she had prepared so carefully, was still no match for them.
"The match is over. Shrek wins!"
"The final will be held tomorrow at the hour of Chen!"
As the announcement ended, the Soul Masters in the stands gradually began to leave. Although today's matches were over, their enthusiasm had not waned. Both Lin Chen's one-against-seven fight and Shrek's Seven-in-One had set their hearts racing.
The trip had not been in vain!
Skywater Academy.
Shui Ningrou led the Tianshui Girl Group slowly away. Xue Wu said in delight, "Hee-hee... Little Brother Lin Chen just gestured to us~"
"Sisters!" Yu Hairou said joyfully. "Although Brother Lin Chen is exceptionally talented, he's not out of reach. I feel we still have a very good chance."
"I... I felt it too. Brother Lin Chen looked over at us more than once today~"
The speaker was Qiu Ruoshui, the quietest of them all. Her beautiful blue hair fell over her shoulders and reached her waist, and her pretty, delicate face was shaped like a melon seed. Her gentle bearing carried a hint of allure.
Yu Hairou said in surprise, "Ruoshui, how do you know Brother Lin Chen looked at us more than once? Wasn't it just when we parted at the end? When else?"
At her words, Shui Bing'er and the other four women looked at her too. They had also been watching Lin Chen all along, but they hadn't noticed.
The corners of Qiu Ruoshui's little mouth rose slightly. "That's because when the fight between Shrek and Divine Wind Blazing Fire was at its fiercest, you all looked away for a while, but I didn't..."
Xue Wu said, "So that's how it is, Ruoshui! You dared sneak looks behind our backs! Sisters, get her!"
"Giggle..." Qiu Ruoshui laughed as she ran off. "You were the ones who didn't notice. How can you blame me~"
"Where do you think you're going!"
"Stop!"
Shui Ningrou, an exceptionally beautiful mature woman, watched the women chase and play, her heart in turmoil. The moment their eyes had met that afternoon immediately surfaced in her mind. She had felt it too, and she had even met Lin Chen's gaze once...
Night fell, in the Pope's bedchamber.
As soon as he returned to the inner chamber, Lin Chen couldn't wait to embrace his aloof Pope wife, then flew straight onto the cushioned couch.
That was right, he flew straight onto it!
"Don't... no, mmm..."
Before Bibi Dong could finish, Lin Chen had already sealed her soft lips with his.
An incense stick later...
Bibi Dong finally had a moment to catch her breath. Her clothes were disheveled, her beautiful hair spilled over her shoulders, and her delicate face was flushed, utterly alluring.
"Don't... Lin Chen..."
Lin Chen frowned and squeezed her ample, upturned backside with his large hand. "Wife, what did you call me?"
"Husband~" Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him and lay lazily in his arms, her delicate hand stroking his chest. "Not today..."
"Not today?" Lin Chen was slightly startled and hurriedly asked, "Is it your monthly period?"
Bibi Dong pinched his waist. "Of course not. Once an ordinary person cultivates Soul Power, it's very difficult for them to have a monthly period."
As one's level of life rose, producing offspring became more difficult. Of course, if someone with an extremely high level of life had children, their talent generally wouldn't be weak.
That was the natural way of heaven: one yin and one yang. Where there was an advantage, there was bound to be a drawback.
"Then why?"
Bibi Dong explained softly, "I've reached a critical stage in my cultivation lately. It's not that I can't, but my Martial Soul is special. I'm afraid... it might put you in danger~"
Lin Chen held her slender waist helplessly. "All right, but you're not allowed to go back into seclusion today. Stay with me in the bedchamber tonight~"
Bibi Dong considered it for only a second before agreeing.
She was at a critical point in the Seventh Trial, but the one asking was her husband, Lin Chen, after all.
