Chapter 223: Seven-in-One Fusion Skill

"Dai Weisi, if I give up, will you let me go?" This Dai Mubai was completely different from the one in the original story; the original him would have retorted on the spot when faced with Dai Weisi's provocation, but at this moment, facing his older brother, he spoke very timidly, because he had no confidence at all—his brother's strength far surpassed his own.

When he left home five years ago, he was level 25, while Dai Weisi was level 33, a difference of eight levels. Today, meeting again, he was level 41 and Dai Weisi was level 49, still a difference of eight levels. This meant that the gap between them had not shrunk; instead, it had grown even larger.

Because the higher the level, the greater the gap between each level; this is common knowledge.

But this was also a natural result. While Dai Mubai spent his days in a drunken stupor, living a life of rot, his older brother was terrified of being caught up to by his younger brother and practiced diligently every day. If not for the fact that Dai Mubai's aptitude was a notch higher than Dai Weisi's, the gap would likely have widened even further.

In fact, Dai Mubai was not a person who didn't know how to work hard; as long as he could see hope, he would fight for it. For example, when Tang San gave him an Immortal Herb in the original story, he felt he had hope of defeating Dai Weisi, and his training became diligent.

But once he couldn't see hope, he would easily give up. For instance, when he was in Suotuo City, his thought at that time was that if he could live a good day, he would live it; enjoying himself more before the family arrived was never a loss.

Dai Mubai overlooked one point: he always pinned his hopes on others, expecting someone else to bring him hope, not knowing that hope is something one can strive for oneself.

Today, he was willing to fight with all his might because he felt that with the Master's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, perhaps, just perhaps, there was a sliver of possibility.

Seeing him in this state, Dai Weisi gave a disdainful smile, "Rest assured, if you give up early and come back with me, I can at least guarantee you won't die. After all, you are my only younger brother. When I ascend to the throne, I can grant you the title of Prince. If nothing else, at least you will have no problem continuing to live a life of debauchery every day."

Dai Weisi showed his last bit of family affection. The "not dying" he spoke of was actually to cripple his soul power and exile him to a fief to live out the rest of his life. For many Spirit Masters, that is more painful than death.

"Come on, Dai Weisi!" Dai Mubai said, activating his martial soul. With the optimal spirit ring configuration of two yellow and two purple, plus the White Tiger Martial Soul, his combat power was still quite impressive.

In reality, he also felt that between Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, Dai Weisi was currently more outstanding, and between Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Qing, in terms of talent, the two were about the same, but in terms of temperament, Zhu Qing was slightly superior.

"Enough talk, let's fight!" Tang San interrupted their conversation.

Dai Weisi yawned, "Really, since you are so stubborn, I won't be polite either."

"Better to die standing than live kneeling; I don't want to die, but I am not afraid of death!!!"

Completely disregarding the opposition, Shrek only had two Soul Ancestors, and both were low-level Soul Ancestors at that, while they were all Soul Ancestors, and he himself had reached the peak of level 49, half a foot into the Soul King stage.

Zhu Qing was right; it had come to this point, and if they didn't fight with everything they had, they would truly be letting themselves down.

"This girl is quite good; her talent is not weak and her will is strong. If she can be properly cultivated, she will surely achieve something in the future!" Lan Xue nodded in appreciation.

Zhu Qing knew well that Dai Mubai's will was not firm and feared he would be swayed by Dai Weisi, so she hurriedly said, "Mubai, don't be bewitched. No matter what, we must fight until the very last moment."

Although they did not want to die, they were not afraid of death; finding life in death—how many people could have such determination?

The leading teacher of the Star Luo Empire also nodded. He was the witness for this competition and would not favor either side; he was responsible for reporting the results of this battle truthfully to the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

By the end, Zhu Qing had completely lost her usual coldness and instead roared. This roar also awakened the still-confused Dai Mubai.

Today, he also had his own goal: to use his teacher's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill to vindicate his teacher; he was absolutely not a piece of trash.

Seeing this, the referee immediately said, "Both sides prepare, the match begins!"

Fourteen people activated their martial souls simultaneously. Standing at the very front for Star Luo were the peak Soul Ancestors, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

The other five stood in a two-three formation, a very traditional setup.

But on the Shrek side, it was beyond everyone's expectations; they did not set up their conventional formation but instead gathered into a circle.

Inside the circle were only Ning Rongrong and Oscar.

"Third Soul Skill, Three-Day Soul!" Ning Rongrong first applied Three-Day Soul to Tang San and Dai Mubai, who had the strongest soul power, boosting their soul power by forty percent. It wasn't that she didn't want to support everyone.

But she knew she couldn't handle supporting seven people at once; supporting the two strongest was enough.

Except for the two in the middle, the soul power on the other five began to surge wildly, converging toward the center.

What is this?

Even the Pope, Bibi Dong, showed surprise. Even she did not quite understand what Shrek was preparing to do at this moment.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, Tailong, Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Qing stepped in unison, as if following a special rhythm, and the soul power fluctuations on the five of them formed a special trajectory, continuously diffusing around their bodies.

Ning Rongrong and Oscar, standing in the center of the formation, closed their eyes simultaneously. Nine-Colored Treasure Light rose from Ning Rongrong, while a faint pink light appeared on Oscar. The two rays of light swirled back and forth, rushing toward the sky.

"Change formation—" Tang San shouted.

Shrek's formation changed again, this time into a straight line of seven, with Tang San at the very front and Ning Rongrong and Oscar at the back.

Oscar gathered the energy from just before and channeled it all into Ning Rongrong's body.

At the same time, Ning Rongrong activated her special talent, Ring Fusion.

Continuing to channel the energy into the person in front, it progressed layer by layer until, finally, the massive soul power was concentrated on Tang San alone.

"That is, the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill!"

Having reached this point, how could the various Title Douluo present not see it? Following that came immense shock.

Although the difficulty of performing this Seven-in-One Fusion Skill was not as harsh as a Spirit Fusion Skill, it still had significant limitations.

Generally speaking, such fusion skills only appear among Spirit Masters whose martial souls and soul skills are extremely similar. Just like the seven team members from Canghui Academy back then, they all had gem martial souls and followed the same cultivation path, focusing on illusions, which allowed them to complete a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill.

But these Shrek students were different; each of their martial souls was completely different, and their areas of focus were also different. That seven people with such completely different martial souls could actually perform a Seven-in-One Fusion Skill—even the knowledgeable Pope and Title Douluo had eyes full of disbelief.

Yet, Shrek Academy had done it. When that nine-colored light connected the seven of them together, this Seven-in-One Fusion Skill was already complete.

Nan Feihuang said with interest, "It has finally appeared. This is also the only one of Yu Xiaogang's so-called Ten Core Theories that I find worthy of notice. Very well, then let me witness the power of the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill."
