[The moment the Soul Power within Su Chen's body made contact with that drop of blood.]
[The blood, which had been calm until now, actually trembled slightly.]
[Immediately after, a wisp of bloodline Soul Power contained within Liu Erlong's blood did not show the slightest repulsion, actively intertwining with Su Chen's Soul Power.]
[Seeing this, a ripple finally appeared in Su Chen's previously calm eyes.]
["As I thought."]
[He spoke in a low voice, and a faint arc slowly formed at the corners of his mouth.]
[In past experiments, he had encountered similar situations.]
[If a blood relationship existed between two people, or if their Martial Soul Origins were extremely close, there was a certain chance that their bloodline Soul Power could undergo Fusion.]
[And in the Soul Master world, this situation had another more common name.]
[Martial Soul Fusion.]
[Thinking of this, the light in Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but brighten.]
[All along, although he knew of the existence of Martial Soul Fusion, he had never truly studied it in depth.]
[The reason was simple.]
[He did not have suitable experimental subjects.]
[Nor did he have the opportunity to personally experience the changes during such a Fusion.]
[But now, it was different.]
[Liu Erlong's appearance gave him the capital to begin his experiments.]
[At this thought, Su Chen even wanted to go to the room next door right now.]
[However, as soon as this thought arose, he forcibly suppressed it.]
[Meanwhile, on the other side.]
[Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong had also finished washing up and were lying on the bed together.]
[The room was dimly lit.]
[A faint fragrance of flowers still lingered in the air.]
[Liu Erlong turned on her side, looking at Bibi Dong beside her, and ultimately couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart.]
["Sister Dong'er."]
["You and Su Chen have known each other for so long."]
["Can you tell me what kind of person he really is?"]
[Hearing this, Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment.]
[Immediately after, her bright eyes were filled with excitement.]
[Usually, this was one of her favorite things to do.]
[Which was to tell others how amazing Su Chen was.]
[Now that she saw Liu Erlong asking on her own initiative, how could she hold back?]
["If you ask that, then I'm not sleepy anymore."]
[Bibi Dong sat up at once.]
[Liu Erlong couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw her like this.]
[Immediately after, she heard Bibi Dong start talking incessantly.]
["Do you know?"]
["Su Chen didn't have any Soul Power at all in the past."]
["Let alone cultivation, back then everyone thought he would only be an ordinary person his whole life."]
["But he refused to accept his fate."]
["He relied entirely on himself, exploring bit by bit, researching bit by bit, and finally forged a path that no one had ever walked before."]
["Later on, he even personally shattered his own Martial Soul."]
[At these words, Liu Erlong's eyes widened slightly.]
["Shattering his Martial Soul?"]
["Isn't that just courting death?"]
[Bibi Dong nodded heavily.]
["But he managed to endure it."]
["And since then, he really did research a set of Cultivation methods different from traditional Martial Soul Cultivation."]
[Speaking of this, there was already a bit of pride in Bibi Dong's tone.]
[After that, Bibi Dong continued to talk incessantly, and finally even took out the Twin Martial Souls Cultivation manual that Su Chen had written specifically for her.]
[Liu Erlong listened silently.]
[At first, she was just curious.]
[But as she listened, her expression gradually changed.]
[From curiosity to shock.]
[And from shock to being moved.]
[She suddenly understood why Bibi Dong, as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, cared so much about Su Chen.]
[Liu Erlong's impression of Su Chen in her heart also quietly changed.]
[Originally, it was just an inexplicable closeness.]
[But now, within that closeness, there was clearly a bit more of an indescribable affection.]
[Gradually, the night grew deeper.]
[The two women's voices slowly lowered as well.]
[In the end, the room fell completely silent.]
[The night passed without incident.]
[The next morning.]
[After the three of them got up, they quickly found a seat downstairs and had a simple breakfast.]
[At the dining table, Bibi Dong looked up at Su Chen while drinking hot porridge.]
["Where are we going next?"]
[Hearing the inquiry, Su Chen shook his head slightly.]
["We're not leaving yet."]
["I want to stay in this city for a while."]
[At these words, Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment.]
[For the past six months, they had almost always been on the road.]
[It was the first time they had stayed in the same city consecutively like this.]
["Why did you suddenly change your mind?"]
[Bibi Dong asked, somewhat confused.]
[Su Chen did not answer immediately.]
[Instead, Su Chen turned his head to look at Liu Erlong, who was sitting to the side.]
[Feeling Su Chen's gaze, Liu Erlong was also slightly taken aback.]
[The next moment, she heard Su Chen speak calmly.]
["Last night, when I was studying your blood, I accidentally discovered something."]
["Our bloodline Soul Power can undergo Fusion."]
[As soon as these words were spoken.]
[Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong's movements paused almost simultaneously.]
[The two women looked at each other, their eyes filled with some confusion.]
[Clearly, they didn't understand what Su Chen meant for a moment.]
[Seeing their reactions, Su Chen used a more easily understood explanation.]
["In layman's terms."]
["You and I should have the potential for Martial Soul Fusion."]
["So, I plan to stay in Soto City for now and figure this out."]
[As his voice fell.]
[The table immediately fell silent.]
[Liu Erlong stared blankly at Su Chen, her eyes filled with shock.]
[She naturally knew what a Martial Soul Fusion Skill meant; it was a secret technique that could break through the Level limit of a Spirit Master and easily achieve cross-Level combat!]
[On the other side, Bibi Dong was also frozen in place.]
[Coming back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sourness in her heart.]
[Thinking that Su Chen could actually perform Martial Soul Fusion with Liu Erlong.]
[While she herself could not.]
[Her heart couldn't help but feel stifled.]
["If only I could also perform Martial Soul Fusion with Su Chen..."]
[However, a moment later, Bibi Dong cast those messy thoughts from her mind.]
["It's fortunate that it's Erlong who can perform Martial Soul Fusion with Su Chen; if it were some other woman, it would be a headache!"]
["As my good sister, Erlong at least won't fight me for Su Chen!"]
[Thinking of this, the bit of jealousy in Bibi Dong's heart instantly vanished, even turning into relief.]
[However, at this moment, outside the Heavenly Screen, inside the Pope's Palace.]
[After seeing this scene, Bibi Dong's expression sank bit by bit.]
[As long as it didn't involve Yu Xiaogang, she still had her wits about her; therefore, as a bystander, she could clearly see Liu Erlong's affection for Su Chen in the Heavenly Screen.]
[At this thought, Bibi Dong couldn't help but stare fixedly at Liu Erlong in the Heavenly Screen, cursing inwardly.]
["Damn it!"]
["This violent female Dragon, could it be that in the other world, she's going to oppose me too?"]
[Although she never admitted that the woman in the Heavenly Screen was herself.]
[This did not prevent her from feeling unhappy when she saw that the version of herself in the other world had finally gotten close to Su Chen, only for Liu Erlong to suddenly intervene.]
[Because seeing this, she couldn't help but think of the matter of Yu Xiaogang associating with Liu Erlong after leaving her.]
[Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's expression became increasingly ugly.]
Meanwhile, at Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong was cheering for herself on the Heavenly Screen with an excited expression.
"Come on! Snatch Su Chen away from that foolish woman."
However, the next moment she actually realized what she was doing and couldn't help but curse herself inwardly.
"Oh, Liu Erlong! Liu Erlong, how could you think like that? You should be telling the other world's version of yourself to hurry up and find Xiaogang."
The images on the Heavenly Screen continued to shift.
[Recovering from the shock of the Martial Soul Fusion, Liu Erlong's face was filled with irrepressible excitement.]
["Are you telling the truth! Then let's hurry up and try it!"]
["Wait, I remember Sister Dong'er saying that you no longer have a Martial Soul?"]
[Just as Liu Erlong stood up and was about to pull Su Chen to test the Martial Soul Fusion, she suddenly remembered what Bibi Dong had told her about Su Chen last night, and she couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.]
[Su Chen spoke up to explain.]
["Martial Soul Fusion is just an external manifestation; in reality, it is Spirit Power Fusion, so it is possible to do it without a Martial Soul."]
["I see."]
[Liu Erlong nodded slightly.]
["Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"]
[Seeing Liu Erlong urging him with excitement and curiosity, Su Chen nodded slightly.]
[The three of them arrived outside the city together.]
[On an open field outside the city.]
[A breeze blew by.]
[Su Chen and Liu Erlong stood facing each other.]
[Bibi Dong stood to the side, her gaze fixed intently on the two of them.]
[At this moment, although she still felt a bit stifled, she was mostly filled with curiosity.]
[After all, something like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is extremely rare, even across the entire Soul Master world.]
[The next moment, Su Chen and Liu Erlong reached out, and their two hands slowly clasped together.]
[Immediately, the Soul Power within both of them began to circulate simultaneously.]
[Pale golden Soul Power and fiery red Soul Power appeared on their bodies, and then began to gradually merge.]
[A moment later, a huge golden magic circle suddenly lit up on the ground beneath their feet.]
[Rays of golden light patterns rapidly spread to the surroundings.]
[Immediately after, a brilliant golden pillar of light shot up into the sky from the center of the magic circle, instantly enveloping the bodies of Su Chen and Liu Erlong.]
[The blinding golden light made Bibi Dong involuntarily squint her eyes.]
[The Soul Power in the air began to vibrate wildly at this very moment.]
[A moment later.]
[From within the pillar of light, a low and majestic Dragon roar suddenly rang out.]
["Roar!!!"]
[The instant the Dragon roar sounded, the surrounding trees shook violently.]
[An extremely powerful pressure also burst forth and spread at this moment.]
[Then, the pillar of light shooting into the sky slowly dissipated.]
[Where Su Chen and Liu Erlong had originally been standing, a massive golden Dragon shadow had appeared.]
[That giant Dragon was nearly ten meters long.]
[Its entire body was pure gold.]
[Its Dragon scales were thick and dense, shining with blinding golden light under the sun.]
[Its Dragon head was ferocious and majestic, with towering horns.]
[Within its pair of Dragon eyes, it seemed as if golden flames were burning.]
[Behind it, a pair of huge golden Dragon wings were spread open.]
[As the wings stretched out, they stirred up gusts of wild wind.]
[Most amazingly, its entire body was enveloped in a layer of faint golden light.]
[Looking from afar, it was sacred, domineering, and full of oppressive force.]
[This was the result born from the Fusion of Su Chen and Liu Erlong's Soul Power.]
[Golden Sacred Dragon!]
Outside the Heavenly Screen.
The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the Golden Sacred Dragon appear, he was struck as if by lightning.
"Impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
All along, what he had been most proud of, apart from his world-class theories, was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that he, Flender, and Liu Erlong could perform together.
However, previously, his theories had already become a pile of garbage when compared to Su Chen.
Now, even the Martial Soul Fusion Skill had actually been performed by Su Chen.
Most critically, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was performed by only two people.
A Spirit King and a Spirit Elder's Spirit Power Fusion.
Yet the might that erupted at this moment was already enough to rival a Soul Saint!
Looking at the aura and oppressive force on the Heavenly Screen, which had already far exceeded the time when the three of them first performed the Golden Sacred Dragon back then.
Yu Xiaogang could not accept it no matter what.
"Damn it!"
"Why?"
"It wasn't enough to steal my title of Grandmaster, and now he actually wants to come and steal my Golden Sacred Dragon."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang already hated Su Chen to the extreme. In his view, Su Chen was just a thief who had shamelessly stolen their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Flender, who was on the side, couldn't help but mutter to himself after seeing the images on the Heavenly Screen.
"This aura..."
"It is far too much stronger than what we had back then!"
As soon as these words left his mouth.
Flender noticed that Yu Xiaogang, who was beside him, was staring at him with an extremely resentful gaze.
Flender quickly gave a dry laugh twice.
Then he silently shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
And the images on the Heavenly Screen continued.
[Inside the Golden Sacred Dragon.]
[Su Chen silently began to perceive the flow of Soul Power within his body.]
[At this moment, the two streams of Origin Soul Power that originally belonged to him and Liu Erlong had completely merged together.]
[That feeling was not a simple addition.]
[It was more like a mutual completion.]
[Especially after the Fusion was completed, the speed of Soul Power absorption and circulation was far faster than when he was Cultivating alone.]
[However, perhaps because Liu Erlong occupied the dominant position in their Fusion, Su Chen could clearly feel that much of the Soul Power he absorbed would be transferred to Liu Erlong.]
[On the other hand, Liu Erlong was in a completely different state.]
[At this moment, she only felt that Soul Power was surging up within her body endlessly.]
[Her whole body was filled with unprecedented power.]
[This feeling made her whole person excited.]
["Is this Spirit Power Fusion?"]
["It's too strong!"]
[Liu Erlong couldn't help but speak out.]
[At this moment, she felt unprecedentedly comfortable.]
[This powerful feeling made her almost unable to restrain herself, wanting to immediately test just how strong the Golden Sacred Dragon was.]
[After sensing Liu Erlong's eager emotions, Su Chen did not stop her.]
[At this moment, he also wanted to know exactly to what extent this Fusion state could boost their power.]
[And Bibi Dong, who was standing outside, looked at the imposing Golden Sacred Dragon before her, her eyes filled with undisguised envy.]
[It wasn't that she didn't understand that things like Martial Soul Fusion could not be forced.]
[But even so.]
[When she saw with her own eyes that Su Chen and Liu Erlong had completed the Fusion, her heart still couldn't help but feel a bit sour.]
[Especially after seeing Liu Erlong's extremely excited appearance within the Golden Sacred Dragon phantom.]
[She felt inexplicably unhappy in her heart.]
[Subconsciously, she forgot about sisterly affection and spoke in a cold voice.]
["Since the Fusion was successful."]
["Why don't I help you test just how powerful this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is, what do you think?"]
Bibi Dong's words were exactly what Liu Erlong wanted. She wanted to fully experience the power of the Golden Sacred Dragon right now, so she agreed.
"Alright!"
"I also want to try and see just how strong this Golden Sacred Dragon really is!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong's entire focus was almost completely immersed in the powerful sensation brought about by the Golden Sacred Dragon.
Therefore, she didn't notice the trace of coldness in Bibi Dong's tone when she spoke.
Meanwhile, Su Chen was entirely focused on sensing the changes in his Soul Power within his body after the Spirit Power Fusion, so he didn't intervene either.
Seeing that Liu Erlong had agreed, a strange look flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
The next instant.
She didn't say another word of nonsense.
Boom!
An incomparably powerful fluctuation of Soul Power suddenly erupted from within her body.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black!
Six Spirit Rings rose in succession.
The pressure belonging to a level 65 Soul Emperor swept across the area without reservation at this moment, and simultaneously, the Death Spider Emperor possessed her!
Liu Erlong had originally been full of excitement.
But when she truly saw the six Spirit Rings at Bibi Dong's feet, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"A Soul Emperor."
Previously, she only knew that Bibi Dong was two years older than her, but she had never understood Bibi Dong's Cultivation Realm.
Now that she saw Bibi Dong had already reached the Cultivation Realm of a Soul Emperor, how could Liu Erlong not be surprised?
And one must know that she was only level 42, a difference of nearly twenty levels from Bibi Dong!
However, just as Liu Erlong was shocked and sighing with emotion, Bibi Dong had already made her move.
"First Soul Skill, Undead Spider Poison!"
Deep purple venom covered her face, and Liu Erlong hurriedly controlled the Golden Sacred Dragon to flap its wings and soar into the sky, opening its mouth to spew Sacred Dragon Flames, evaporating all the venom.
But a portion of the deadly poison still touched the torso of the Golden Sacred Dragon, causing the golden dragon body to slightly falter.
Immediately after, Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold, and she activated her Second Soul Skill, Spider Leg Pierce, and Third Soul Skill, Spider Web Restraint, simultaneously. Eight spider legs pierced out like long spears, and several venomous spider webs followed, pressing down.
Liu Erlong gave a furious shout, forcibly urging the Golden Sacred Dragon to erupt with Dragon Might. Golden thunder exploded around her body, the dragon claws swatted away the spider legs, and the dragon tail swept across, forcibly pushing Bibi Dong back several steps.
Seeing this, Gui Mei, who was in the shadows, narrowed his eyes instantly.
"This Su Chen's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is truly not weak!"
Bibi Dong, having been pushed back, was already a bit hot-headed.
Her Fifth Soul Skill, Death Devour, shot out, specifically sealing the Golden Sacred Dragon's wings and limbs.
Immediately after, Bibi Dong's sixth Spirit Ring suddenly lit up.
"Space Ripper Abyss Slash!"
This Soul Skill was specifically researched by Su Chen for Bibi Dong. It possessed both Space and Death attributes, and even an ordinary Soul Saint would need to focus on defense to withstand it.
As the invisible slash was instantly unleashed, Liu Erlong controlled the Golden Sacred Dragon to dodge sideways, but its left wing was still grazed by the slash.
Under the intense pain, Liu Erlong also became completely hot-headed and dove down with flapped wings.
Bibi Dong relied on her Thorn Spider Armor to take the hit head-on, but due to a moment of impulse, she lost her composure. She didn't retreat in time, and instead wanted to forcibly stab her spider legs into the dragon's abdomen.
It was this opening that was instantly seized by Liu Erlong.
The Golden Sacred Dragon suddenly opened its mouth.
Boom!
The Sacred Dragon Flame breath, at such close range, wrapped in intense sacred intent, pressed down upon Bibi Dong.
Gui Mei's expression changed drastically.
And Bibi Dong finally woke up at this moment.
And just at this critical moment.
Su Chen, who had been immersed in realization, finally opened his eyes abruptly.
"Not good!"
He judged the situation in almost an instant.
The next moment, Su Chen didn't hesitate at all and directly forcibly took over the portion of Origin Soul Power belonging to him inside the Golden Sacred Dragon.
"Disperse!"
Hum!
Following his low shout.
The originally smoothly operating Soul Power circuit was forcibly cut off by him from the middle.
Within the Golden Sacred Dragon, the two forces that had originally been a seamless whole instantly experienced a violent conflict.
The Sacred Dragon Flame spewed from the dragon's mouth also paused significantly at this moment.
Immediately after, the golden pillar of fire that was enough to engulf Bibi Dong quickly collapsed in mid-air.
At the same time.
That massive Golden Sacred Dragon phantom also collapsed in an instant.
The figures of Su Chen and Liu Erlong separated from mid-air simultaneously.
After landing steadily on the ground, Liu Erlong looked at the stunned Bibi Dong in front of her, and a feeling of guilt welled up in her heart.
If Su Chen hadn't controlled the situation in time just now, Bibi Dong would likely have been dead or seriously injured by now.
Thinking of this, Liu Erlong slowly walked toward where Bibi Dong was, preparing to apologize properly.
On the other side, Su Chen wasn't having such an easy time.
Forcibly interrupting the Spirit Power Fusion was an extremely dangerous thing to begin with.
Moreover, Su Chen had forcibly cut the Soul Power connection while the Fusion Skill was in a state of full eruption.
At that instant, the violent backlash force went directly along the Soul Power circuit, fiercely impacting his body and even his Martial Soul.
Su Chen only felt as if his internal organs had been struck by a heavy hammer.
The Qi and blood and Soul Power that were already circulating at high speed within his body became completely chaotic at this moment.
A sweetness rose in his throat.
"Pfft!"
A large mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth.
"Su Chen!"
Seeing this scene, the color on Bibi Dong's face instantly drained away, and only panic remained in her eyes.
"Su Chen!"
She used almost all her strength to rush towards Su Chen.
On the other side, Liu Erlong's expression also changed drastically, and she rushed toward where Su Chen was.
Just as Su Chen was about to fall to the ground, the expected heavy impact did not occur.
Because a ghostly black shadow had already appeared behind Su Chen, reaching out to catch him steadily.
The person who arrived was none other than Gui Mei, who had been hiding in the shadows all along.
But at this moment, Gui Mei's expression no longer had the calmness it had before.
He looked down at Su Chen, who had blood at the corner of his mouth and disordered breathing in his arms, and couldn't help but frown.
One must know that Qian Xunji had given a strict order back then that Su Chen must absolutely not be allowed to have any accidents.
Now, such a mistake had occurred right under his nose; if Qian Xunji were to find out, he would definitely make him suffer the consequences.
Seeing a person suddenly appear, and dressed so strangely, Liu Erlong was about to make a move.
However, Bibi Dong immediately recognized Gui Mei's identity. Although she was a bit surprised, now was not the time to care about that, so she hurriedly asked about Su Chen's condition.
"Elder Gui, how is Su Chen? Will he be alright?"
Seeing that Bibi Dong knew the person in front of her, Liu Erlong hurriedly retracted her Martial Soul, and also looked at Gui Mei with an anxious and worried expression.
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei didn't immediately reply, but silently used his Soul Power to examine Su Chen's body.
At this moment, Su Chen's eyes were tightly closed, and he was just sitting cross-legged on the ground quietly.
A moment later, Gui Mei's brows couldn't help but knit even tighter.
After his examination, Su Chen's Soul Power was in chaos, and his entire body had suffered heavy injuries; it could be said that he was in critical condition.
