Chapter 44: Suddenly Hugging Each Other

"Jian Shu, based on my understanding of Qin Jian, he doesn't seem like the type to join in the fun..."

A hint of confusion appeared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes: "He should have his own ideas, right?"

Jian Douluo shook his head: "Yu Tianxin, and Dugu Yan, I really can't think of any conflict of interest between Jian'er and these two..."

"Let's keep watching; we will know the answer sooner or later," Ning Fengzhi said, patting the cane in his hand.

Jian Douluo nodded slightly.

Inside the Soul Hunting Ground.

Having received Qin Jian's reply, Yu Tianxin felt more at ease to attack Dugu Yan with all his might.

But both were at Level 30, their soul power was about the same, and both only had two soul skills; even if Yu Tianxin's attack power was stronger, he couldn't quickly crush Dugu Yan, who was defending with all her strength.

"Yu Tianxin, how long can an attack of this intensity last? Once your soul power is exhausted, I will let you taste the power of my Jade Phosphor Snake Poison."

Dugu Yan's face was full of coldness; clearly, she had been provoked into a real rage.

"I think you won't live to see that moment, because..."

Yu Tianxin suddenly used his momentum to retreat, and soul rings lit up on his body—they were Yellow, Yellow, and Purple!

"Because I have already obtained my Third Soul Ring!"

Lightning crackled and popped on his body, his muscles expanded, and his entire person was covered in lightning.

"Third Soul Skill... Dragon's Fury!"

Having activated the berserk state of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, Yu Tianxin's attack power increased by 100% at this moment!

"What about now? Can you still block me?!"

Crack!

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

The next moment, Yu Tianxin gathered lightning in his hand, forming the shape of a dragon claw, and slammed it fiercely onto Dugu Yan.

"Ugh..."

Dugu Yan let out a cry of pain, her entire body sent flying backward.

And Yu Tianxin did not hesitate in the slightest, turning into a bolt of lightning and charging up again: "Sorry, your Soul Hunting ends here this time!"

As he spoke, he prepared to strike down with his claw.

If this blow were to land solidly, Dugu Yan would definitely be severely injured and subsequently forced out of the Soul Hunting Ground.

Watching Yu Tianxin's Thunder Dragon Claw attack, Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with resentment, but she no longer had the strength to parry...

"Um..."

And just in this split second, Qin Jian's slightly embarrassed voice rang out: "I've decided to intervene a little after all..."

Yu Tianxin looked up abruptly to see Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong appearing behind Dugu Yan, holding hands, though he didn't know when they had arrived.

"Only Level 20, you are... courting death!"

Having gone mad with the fight, Yu Tianxin didn't take Qin Jian and the other person seriously at all and simply swiped his claw toward the three of them.

"Rongrong, let him see the power of Level 20."

Facing the lightning claw with its own special effects, Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong instead smiled at each other, and then suddenly hugged each other tightly...

Dugu Yan, witnessing this scene, almost cursed out loud.

She had originally hoped that Qin Jian and the others could delay Yu Tianxin's offensive slightly, as that would give her a chance to win.

But you two suddenly hugged each other—what is this supposed to mean?

The people outside had equally strange expressions.

Huo Wu even laughed with her hands on her hips: "Is Qin Jian preparing to accept his fate? Running out to show off and then losing his qualification?"

"No... that won't happen. I believe he has his own plans," Shui Bing'er murmured.

Unfortunately, her voice was too soft, and Huo Wu didn't hear her.

But Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo were not worried at all; the two of them naturally knew what that was...

The next moment, everyone watching the light screen was also stunned.

Because a Sword Qi Storm suddenly erupted from within Qin Jian's body inside the light screen...

"Boom!"

The violent air wave even blew Yu Tianxin away!

Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong stood in front of Dugu Yan, embracing tightly.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Sword Tower Bodyguard!"

At this moment, the two of them simultaneously pushed their palms outward.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Endless Sword Qi rapidly converged, surrounding Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan, turning into a bright purple Sword Tower!

"It's actually a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Yu Tianxin's pupils shrank.

"It's actually a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Everyone outside was stunned into silence.

And Shui Bing'er's eyes became bright as snow at this moment, while Huo Wu's face turned black...

"You should have said earlier that you had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"

Huo Wu clenched her fists, roaring in her heart: "Then what was the point of me fighting before? I would have just given it to you directly!"

Setting aside the various expressions of the people outside, Yu Tianxin reacted quickly inside the Soul Hunting Ground.

"Even if it is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I must fight it!"

He had to fight, because his Third Soul Skill did not provide infinite enhancement; it would disappear in at most another minute.

"Swish!"

Yu Tianxin suddenly appeared before the Sword Tower, his hands transforming into lightning dragon claws: "First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out; Yu Tianxin only felt his palms go numb from the vibration, yet the Sword Tower before him remained completely unmoved.

"Such strong defense!"

His gaze turned grim, and lightning erupted from his entire body once more: "Second Soul Skill, Thunderbolt!"

With his overall combat power increased by another 30%, Yu Tianxin transformed into a lightning figure, launching a continuous barrage of attacks.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The incessant sound of clashing rang out, and the Sword Tower began to fluctuate slightly.

"Hey, can your Martial Soul Fusion Skill block a Level 30 Third Soul Skill?" Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask.

Qin Jian held Ning Rongrong in his arms, a Purple Sword martial soul and a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gently circling around the two of them.

"Just based on his Third Soul Skill, he can forget about breaking our defense," Qin Jian said indifferently.

Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill couldn't even be buried by Xue Beng, so how could it possibly be broken by Level 30 soul power? If it were 10 levels higher, maybe there would be something to worry about.

"Instead of worrying about this, you'd be better off strengthening the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison's encroachment; after all, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill cannot defend indefinitely..."

Qin Jian looked up at the Sword Tower and said, "There should only be at most half a minute left now..."

"Rest assured, as long as you can completely block his Third Soul Skill, then the rest will be left to me!"

Dugu Yan's short emerald green hair swayed slightly, and as she raised her hands, wisps of emerald green poison gas seeped out from the ground, continuously encroaching toward Yu Tianxin...

And Yu Tianxin, immersed in his state of violent attacks, did not notice this change...

"As expected of Jian Douluo's personal disciple; every time he intervenes in a battle, he chooses the best timing..."

Outside, Education Committee Member Meng Shenji said, "The first time, he didn't appear with Ning Rongrong, so he achieved an effect of surprise. This time, he waited until Yu Tianxin used his trump card soul skill before using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill to defend. His mind is calm, and his thinking is clear."

"If his martial soul weren't the Sword of Slaughter, but rather one focused on the Control System, he would have great potential as a Control System Soul Master..."

He sighed slightly: "Sigh, I was momentarily tempted to test his limits, but unintentionally offended Jian Douluo, and now I can't even recruit Qin Jian to join the academy. It's truly a pity..."
