Chapter 68: Martial Soul Fusion Skill

"It's about Distraction Control. I have been practicing Distraction Control according to the training method you described, carrying out training for refining healing targets, but for some reason, it's been so long and I haven't made any progress."

"No progress at all?" Shi Quan asked, frowning.

"Pretty much." Ye Lingling nodded slightly.

"How can that be?" Shi Quan stepped forward, puzzled. With Ye Lingling's talent, it was impossible for her to have trained for nearly half a year and still have nothing to show for it.

"I don't know either." Ye Lingling's voice was very hollow, with no discernible joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

"With your talent, that shouldn't be." Shi Quan murmured in confusion, then said: "Lingling, let me see your martial soul?"

A white Nine Heart Begonia appeared in Ye Lingling's hands, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

Shi Quan looked her over from head to toe but found nothing unusual.

"Lingling, don't be nervous, I'm going to check the situation inside your body."

A pale blue light condensed, and the vines of the Blue Silver King gently rested on Ye Lingling's arms.

Circulating his Internal Energy, Shi Quan felt Ye Lingling's aura earnestly. It was a warm and soft aura, like light and also like life; this kind of aura made one feel an indescribable sense of comfort.

As his Internal Energy entered Ye Lingling's body, to Shi Quan's surprise, the life aura within this gentle aura became even more intense. With the intensification of the life aura, Shi Quan suddenly felt a sense of intimacy arise from Ye Lingling, and this sense of intimacy was constantly strengthening along with the intensity of the life aura.

This, this is...

Shi Quan gradually widened his eyes. Within Ye Lingling's hollow expression, there was also a bit of astonishment, because she had the same feeling as Shi Quan.

The Blue Silver King seemed to have sensed something and autonomously extended along Ye Lingling's arms; a faint white halo also emerged on Ye Lingling's body.

Ye Lingling was cooperating with Shi Quan and had also been observing him. She could feel that when the intense life aura on Shi Quan's body came into contact with the white aura on her own, it produced an indescribably comfortable feeling, making her whole person relax.

The feeling Shi Quan gave her was soft, heavy, and even more so, a feeling of the sea gathering a hundred rivers, the earth giving birth to all things.

No matter which feeling it was, it made her unable to help but immerse herself in it.

"Could it be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" As the aura of the Blue Silver King and the aura of the Nine Heart Begonia intertwined, the thought could not help but arise in Shi Quan's mind.

"Ameng, according to the Spirit Master world's terminology, it is indeed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill." Xiaomeng's voice sounded.

"How could the Blue Silver King and the Nine Heart Begonia produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Shi Quan was puzzled in his heart.

Xiaomeng then explained: "Ameng, actually the main reason is because of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Art you practice."

"According to the theory of Martial Soul Fusion Skills, it is actually that two different powers possess two completely identical auras. These two auras can be divided into Yin and Yang. When Yin and Yang mutually generate and assist each other, their combination will naturally burst forth with powerful strength. The same situation also happens with same-Yin or same-Yang, which will also occur."

"And because of your cultivation technique, your soul power possesses both Yin and Yang attributes, forming a whole by itself. That is to say, in your current situation, as long as there is a certain resonance in the martial soul attributes, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with you as the lead can be produced."

"This Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia martial soul possesses a special healing attribute. This healing attribute is a mutated attribute combining life and light, with the life attribute in the dominant position. It is this life attribute that resonated with the Blue Silver King. Besides the Blue Silver King, the Thick Earth Martial Soul within your body also resonated with the Nine Heart Begonia."

"Earth attribute and healing attribute shouldn't have anything to do with each other, right?"

"Attribute resonance doesn't necessarily require identical attributes. The Thick Earth Martial Soul is heavy and mellow. There is a phrase called 'thick virtue carries all things' which can be used to describe your Thick Earth Martial Soul. The growth of plants relies on the nutrients brought by the soil."

Your Thick Earth Martial Soul is nourished by Yin and Yang power. Although it isn't as exaggerated as carrying all things, it is a great supplement for plant martial souls. Just like the Yin Yang Dual Essence Eye, it can nourish all plants. So, to a certain extent, your Thick Earth Martial Soul can almost produce a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with all plant martial souls."

"It can even do that?"

"Of course. All things in nature mutually generate and restrain each other, with myriad laws. Some things seem unrelated, but sometimes when they are together, they can also exert powerful strength. This is the wonder of nature."

Shi Quan understood in his heart, but there were still many doubts in his mind.

"Ameng, according to what you said, then why wasn't there this feeling before?"

"It should be related to the pills you consumed. The medicinal power of the pills improved your talent, making you more compatible with the cultivation technique you are currently practicing, which is why such a change occurred."

"So in the end, it's just that my natural talent wasn't high enough before..." Shi Quan felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

Feeling this strange sensation that made them feel increasingly comfortable, Shi Quan also stopped communicating with Xiaomeng and gradually immersed himself in it; their consciousnesses also began to interweave and sublimate.

"This is..." Not far away, Qin Ming was the first to discover the changes in Shi Quan and Ye Lingling. A look of surprise immediately appeared in the depths of his eyes, and he then shouted loudly: "Everyone stop training, get further away."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Qin Ming's sharp shout, everyone stopped their training in confusion. Only then did they notice the abnormality of Shi Quan and Ye Lingling.

"Teacher Qin, what happened to Lingling and Xiao Quan?" Yu Tianheng asked in surprise, looking at the halos scattering around the two.

"It should be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. You all stay further away. The power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is astonishing. Both of them are triggering it for the first time and are in an unconscious state. It is not yet clear what type their Martial Soul Fusion Skill belongs to, so to avoid accidental injury, be careful."

After all, as a teacher, Qin Ming's knowledge was naturally much broader than theirs.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Everyone looked at the two in the distance in surprise.

On one side was Shi Quan, with the Blue Silver King growing and swaying.

On the other side was Ye Lingling, holding the pure white Nine Heart Begonia, emitting a white halo.

When the radiance of the two martial souls intertwined.

Everything within a ten-meter diameter around the two seemed to freeze, and a special fluctuation bloomed from them.

That light was very peculiar; it was a strange radiance of blue and white intertwined, mixed with a wisp of black light. The intense life aura was still the main body, but beneath the life, it was mixed with a terrifying soul power aura.

Behind Ye Lingling appeared a huge phantom of the Nine Heart Begonia. The phantom turned into points of light, turning into snow-white petals that enveloped the two.

As the petals fell, the Blue Silver King around Shi Quan's body seemed to ignite a layer of blue-white light flames.

When the very last petal fell.

In an instant, the figures of Shi Quan and Ye Lingling both jolted violently, and the soul power within their bodies suddenly erupted like a fountain.

The light flames on the burning Blue Silver King instantly flared brightly, and the Blue Silver King instantly spread toward the surroundings. Wherever it went, everything was devoured by the light, and wherever the light flames went, flowers, plants, and trees all withered, and even the earth dried up along with them.

"Retreat again!" Qin Ming's expression changed in shock. Violent soul power erupted suddenly, and crimson flames turned into a barrier to block the front.

Through the training during this period, Yu Tianheng's reaction speed had improved quite a bit. As soon as Qin Ming's warning sounded, he immediately retreated toward the back.

Qin Ming also did not expect that the attack range of the two's Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be so wide. They had already retreated to over twenty meters away, yet they were still affected.

The moment the blue-white intertwined light flames touched Qin Ming, Qin Ming immediately felt the energy and life force within his body being simultaneously stirred by the eerie light flames. After a powerful soul power fluctuation erupted and forcibly suppressed this disturbance, Qin Ming hurriedly grabbed the slowest Ning Rongrong and retreated backward.

Not until they retreated to over thirty meters away did the light flames dissipate. Although the light flames dissipated, a layer of faint black-gray halo remained where they had passed, looking heavy and depressed.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Centered on Shi Quan and Ye Lingling, all the flowers, plants, and trees within a thirty-meter radius had dried up and died, emitting an aura of deathly silence.

"Is this a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Yu Feng looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Although none of them had personally felt the power of this strike, the impact this scene brought to everyone was enough.

"A Control System Blue Silver King and a Support System Nine Heart Begonia—how could these two martial souls produce an attack-type soul skill when combined?" Qin Ming looked at the scene before him in surprise and suspicion.

"Teacher Qin, this shouldn't be classified as an attack soul skill." Shi Quan's voice came from afar, carrying an unconcealable sense of exhaustion; the Blue Silver King martial soul and Nine Heart Begonia martial soul had already vanished, and in his arms was the unconscious Ye Lingling.

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill is always a skill of immense power; the one Shi Quan and Ye Lingling triggered by chance had gone through the process of fusing two martial souls. The consumption of soul power and mental focus was immense, and with the final burst, it had directly drained Ye Lingling's soul power, causing her to pass out immediately.

As for Shi Quan, because of his cultivation method and powerful Mental Power, he did not pass out directly, but the intense consumption of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was more than even he could bear; although he was not unconscious, he felt exceptionally exhausted.

A large part of the reason why the effect displayed by this Martial Soul Fusion Skill was so astonishing was also because of Shi Quan.

"Xiao Quan, are you alright?" Qin Ming looked at the two in the distance, watching the halos of light all around, unsure whether he should step forward.

"I'm fine. Aside from feeling tired, my physical condition is better than it has ever been." As he spoke, Shi Quan walked out, carrying the unconscious Ye Lingling.

"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill of yours..." Qin Ming pointed toward the wasteland behind them.

Shi Quan said exhaustedly, "Don't worry, Teacher Qin, it will dissipate very soon. Before these halos of light fade away, none of you should touch them. As for the rest, let Lingling and me rest for a while before we discuss it."

This kind of exhaustion did not stem from the body, but from the exhaustion of the Soul Soul.

"No problem, go and rest first." Qin Ming nodded.

"Sister Yanzi, come with me; help me take Lingling back to the Dormitory first."

"No problem." Dugu Yan walked over quickly.
