"That…" Huo Yuhao added, "The soul bone ability of the Emerald Spirit Phantom Skull is to store spiritual power. It can store about fourteen times my peak state, and all of it can also be injected into the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"Damn!" Ma Xiaotao cursed, "Wouldn't that mean even a seven-ring Soul Sage can't dodge it and would still get controlled?"
"I don't know." Huo Yuhao shook his head.
"Wait! I'm going to call someone over!"
With that, Ma Xiaotao flared up and hurriedly flew away.
That left Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong staring at each other in confusion.
A few seconds later, Huo Yuhao took out one Profound Water Pill and one Soul-Rising Pill, levitating them with spiritual power and sending them to Wang Dong.
"These are for you. Find some time to absorb them."
"Profound Water Pill? You're sure you're giving it to me?" Wang Dong asked in surprise.
"Of course. I've already taken three Profound Water Pills, so I've developed some resistance to them." Huo Yuhao explained truthfully.
Wang Dong held the porcelain bottles, feeling a swirl of complicated emotions in his heart.
A few seconds later—
"Then I won't hold back!"
"At home, my first and second uncles never let me take pills, saying it affects the foundation."
Huo Yuhao didn't comment further. He simply raised his hand toward Wang Dong.
The two pressed their palms together and began cultivating the Muscle Transformation Manual through dual cultivation.
They had barely recovered even one-tenth of their condition when they suddenly felt a gentle warm current flow into them. In the span of a single breath, their depleted state and soul power were instantly replenished.
Opening their eyes—
Elder Zhuang was withdrawing the branches and leaves of his martial soul, while Ma Xiaotao stood beside him, her face full of expectation.
"Although Elder Zhuang is of the healing branch, he is, after all, a Level 95 Super Douluo."
"You two can go all out without worry!"
Elder Zhuang smiled and nodded, signaling that they need not hold back.
"My own spiritual power hasn't fully recovered, so the effect will be slightly weaker." Huo Yuhao said.
At the same time, a green skull appeared on his forehead, dazzling like a crown.
As he activated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he triggered the soul bone ability: Spiritual Storage. An ocean of spiritual power surged into the blue-violet eyes looming behind him.
This process lasted for over forty seconds, and still the spiritual power could not be completely infused—controlling a fusion skill of this massive scale demanded an equally immense toll!
"It's coming!"
With a thunderous shout, a tri-colored beam burst forth.
Its length, width, and height all expanded tenfold, forming a golden avenue nearly a thousand meters long and several dozen meters wide.
When the aftershocks faded, Elder Zhuang's body was revealed. Apart from his head, which had been shielded by his vine martial soul, everything below his neck was covered in a golden sheen.
About two breaths later—
Cracks began spreading across his body, and the golden layer shattered.
"Incredible!" Elder Zhuang exclaimed in awe.
"Although I am of the healing branch and my defenses are a bit weaker, this move's power… it could trap a seven-ring Soul Sage who hasn't activated their Martial Soul True Body for about one second."
"During that time, the connection between their body and martial soul would be cut off. They wouldn't even be able to activate their Martial Soul True Body."
"Even if they did activate it, they would still be restrained for at least an instant."
"As for Soul Emperors and below, once struck, their battle is essentially over. Even Xiaotao would be no exception."
Ma Xiaotao held her forehead, feeling as if this was straight out of a fantasy.
Wang Dong was equally dumbfounded.
Only Huo Yuhao remained calm, saying—
"Over forty seconds of charge time. In a real fight, it's nearly impossible to pull that off."
"Also, the attack trajectory of this fusion skill is a straight line. With some prediction, dodging it isn't hard."
"The spiritual power stored in the Emerald Spirit Phantom Skull takes me at least ten days to refill."
"So this move is, theoretically, only useful in battles at the four-ring Soul Ancestor level."
This clear-headed analysis made Elder Zhuang nod in approval.
"Not bad."
"Unlike you, Xiaotao never thinks things through. She just charges recklessly."
"With Yuhao and Wang Dong joining this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, our team will surely be like a tiger with wings."
Ma Xiaotao's expression soured, but she didn't refute Elder Zhuang's words.
Elder Zhuang activated another healing ability to restore the two to their peak condition.
"You two continue. I'll go handle some matters first."
"Wait for me, Elder Zhuang! I have to return to the inner court and train like crazy for a day!"
"See you later, Sister Xiaotao~" ×2
As the two left, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong exchanged a glance.
They sat cross-legged in tacit understanding, pressed their palms together—
And began their daily dual cultivation.
---
From the day they tested the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, time seemed to fast-forward.
In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.
Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had consumed their pills, raising their ranks to level 19 and level 24 respectively.
Their second Martial Soul Fusion Skill had also been developed, its power now somewhat controllable—no longer draining them completely each time.
That night—
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were cultivating when Zhuge Lan's voice suddenly surfaced.
"It's time to show off in front of Shrek's people."
Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, looking at the partner before him.
"Brother Lan, won't this be discovered?"
"Spending 1 Fortune Point lets me maintain dual cultivation for 5 minutes. It's enough to create an alibi."
"Then… what do I need to do?"
"Sleep. Let me take over."
Huo Yuhao nodded, his gaze dimming.
Then a ghostly blue light flared in his eyes as he stood. His features shifted, transforming into a different, wickedly handsome young man.
He stepped back—
Yet a duplicate "Huo Yuhao" still sat there in cultivation.
[-1 Fortune Point]
Electrolux timely released his aura, a grayish glow tinged with gold, the perfect fusion of necromancy and light.
It radiated an air of profound mystery.
"Swish—"
Zhuge Lan instantly teleported above Shrek Academy.
[-500 Fortune Points]
Spiritual power surged, holding him aloft. Electrolux no longer concealed himself—his aura as a god-level remnant soul swept across the land.
"Who!"
"Impudent!"
"How daring!"
Shouts rang out as figures soared from Sea God Island, each bearing nine soul rings.
Not a single one below Title Douluo.
But before the pressure of a half-god, even their flying soul skills wavered.
Familiar faces emerged:
Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, Cai Lin'er, Qian Duoduo…
"Roar—"
The Bright Holy Dragon appeared again. Mu En slowly rose into the sky. Within his aged body was hidden a terrifying might.
In terms of aura, he could faintly contend with Electrolux—though ultimately, he was still a shade weaker.
"Your Excellency's midnight visit to Shrek—what business brings you here?" Mu En asked gravely.
Zhuge Lan did not reply.
He casually drew out a fiery-red stone and tossed it down. It exploded into black-red fireworks.
Yan Shaozhe's brow twitched at the sight!
But he dared not speak rashly, only transmitting a message to Mu En.
"That was Xiaotao's soul power signal flare. How did His Excellency obtain it?"
Mu En's voice was solemn. "Didn't little Yuhao say… that she wanted to meet you?"
Zhuge Lan tilted his head. "And you lot seem rather interested in my Holy Flame Meow-Meow Sect. Why not meet together?"
The Shrek group was shaken to the core!
What in the world?
This "Holy Flame Sect" suddenly popping up… and it has a demi-god sitting in command?
This was absurd!
"Wait… Your Excellency, are you the 'Brother Lan' Yuhao spoke of?" Mu En asked with uncertainty. "But Yuhao said you were only a deacon?"
No way!
A deacon is a demi-god?!
What kind of monstrous organization is this?!
"Oh, I just casually made up a title back then." Zhuge Lan said carelessly. "Same with Holy Flame Meow-Meow Sect—I just came up with it on the spot. Never expected Little Yuhao to be so capable, even poaching people from Shrek Academy."
Good heavens!
Casually made up?!
