Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 632 Soul Fusion with Zhu Zhuqing

As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, "Divine power, after all, is divine-level power!"

"Even just a wisp of aura, to you right now..."

"That's far beyond what we can handle!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded subconsciously, while Dai Chengfeng continued, "If I don't control it well, or if you have a rejection reaction during the adaptation process, you may get injured, or even damage your foundation."

"Therefore, the decision is yours."

“If you’re not willing, we can pretend nothing happened today. I’ll continue to find ways to suppress the divine power and explore other possibilities for fusion.”

Dai Chengfeng spoke sincerely, giving Zhu Zhuqing the right to choose.

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

She looked down at her hands, where she had just held Dai Chengfeng's hand, and it seemed as if the warmth of his palm and the strange sensation of his soul power still lingered.

That feeling wasn't bad, it was even... kind of comfortable.

It's like immersing a cold body in a perfectly warm hot spring, where every pore relaxes.

power.

Greater power.

She recalled the brutal competition within the Star Luo royal family, the responsibilities on her shoulders, and the undercurrents that Dai Chengfeng faced.

If she had greater power, if she could fight alongside him instead of just being protected by him from behind...

"How dangerous is it?"

She raised her head and looked directly into Dai Chengfeng's eyes.

Dai Chengfeng was taken aback by her question and paused for a moment before answering seriously:
"If you cooperate fully, I will guide the flow of soul power and strictly control the amount of divine power seeping out, and the danger can be minimized."

"But accidents can happen anytime. All I can promise is that I will do everything in my power to protect you and keep you from getting hurt."

"Then... how should we cooperate?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked again, her ears already burning red, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"At first, just place your palms together, like you did before."

"At a fixed time each day, calmly guide the exchange of soul power, and gradually increase the duration and contact area."

Dai Chengfeng explained carefully, "Once your body has adapted to a certain extent, you can try contact over a larger area, such as back to back, which is the part closest to the core area of ​​soul power, and the effect will be much better."

"Further... if things go smoothly, perhaps we can try..."

Dai Chengfeng stopped, not finishing his sentence.

But Zhu Zhuqing probably guessed it.

Closer contact.

Even... it's not limited to just the kind of touching of lips and teeth we just saw.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing's face was so hot it could fry an egg, but she had already made up her mind.

"I agree."

"Really?"

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. "Yes, but... we mustn't let anyone know that we... are cultivating like this."

Dai Chengfeng smiled. "Alright, this is a secret between us."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, stood up from the ground, and patted the fallen leaves and dust off her clothes.

Her practice clothes were still wet and uncomfortable against her body, but at that moment her attention was entirely focused on what she had just discovered.

"So... what should we do now?"

She looked at Dai Chengfeng, somewhat at a loss.

Dai Chengfeng also stood up, walked to her, and extended his hand, palm up: "Let's try the simplest one first."

"Give me your hand, and we'll try to actively guide the flow of soul power, instead of relying on the instinctive attraction of physical contact."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at his hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly placed her own hand on it.

The moment their hands touched, the feeling of soul power flowing reappeared, even clearer and smoother than before.

"Close your eyes, calm your mind, and feel the flow of my soul power." Dai Chengfeng's voice became low and calm, with a guiding tone. "Don't resist, try to follow it, let it enter your body, circulate once, and then return."

"Like the tides, they come and go."

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes as instructed, trying to ignore the sensation of their palms touching, and focused all her attention on sensing the soul power.

She could feel Dai Chengfeng's soul power was warm and profound, like a steady river flowing slowly into her meridians.

Her soul power instinctively wanted to repel it, but under her deliberate control, it gradually relaxed its defenses, allowing the foreign force to enter.

Two streams of soul power began to run parallel and converge within her body.

She could clearly distinguish which one was hers—cool and swift, like the wind in the dark night; and which one was Dai Chengfeng's—fiery and domineering, like the midday sun.

At the core of this blazing soul power lies an extremely sharp and superior aura, which should be the power of the Asura God.

That wisp of divine power was very faint, but its presence was extremely strong.

As soon as it entered her meridians, she felt a distinct sense of pressure, as if countless tiny needles were gently probing her soul power barrier.

Strangely, this stinging pain wasn't unpleasant; rather, it felt like a tempering process.

Each contact made her soul power more solid and resilient.

After one cycle, the two streams of soul power, mixed with that trace of divine power, flowed out of her body and returned to Dai Chengfeng's palm.

She could sense that the flowing soul power had already acquired the "speed" attribute unique to her soul power.

"very good."

Dai Chengfeng's voice was full of praise, "For your first time taking the initiative to guide the conversation so smoothly, your control is even better than I imagined."

"Now, try to guide it in the opposite direction, actively sending your soul power into my body."

Zhu Zhuqing tried to mobilize her soul power, gathering it in her palm, and then slowly injecting it into Dai Chengfeng's hand.

This process is more difficult than acceptance, because she has to overcome her soul's instinctive fear of stronger powers.

But she gritted her teeth and forcefully pushed her soul power forward.

Dai Chengfeng's soul power did not reject her; on the contrary, it seemed to welcome her and actively guided her soul power in.

She could feel that as her soul power circulated within Dai Chengfeng's body, it was also refined by his soul power and that trace of divine power, becoming even purer.

After a complete cycle, the two opened their eyes at the same time.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a strange kind of fatigue, not physical, but from the intense mental concentration.

At the same time, she felt refreshed, as if she had just taken a hot bath and every pore had opened up.

"how do you feel?"

Dai Chengfeng asked, still holding her hand.

"I'm a little tired, but...it feels very comfortable."

Zhu Zhuqing answered truthfully, paused, and added, "Moreover, my soul power seems to be... sharper."

"That's the effect of divine power tempering."

Dai Chengfeng smiled and finally let go of her hand, "That's all for today."

"The first time shouldn't last too long; we can continue later when we have more time."

"We'll gradually extend the time once you've adapted better."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then suddenly thought of a question: "Will this cultivation help improve my soul power level?"

"Directly leveling up may not be very fast, but the improvement in the quality, solidity, and control of soul power will be much greater than simply cultivating soul power."

Dai Chengfeng explained, "Moreover, if your soul power can truly adapt to divine power, it may be easier to absorb soul rings and break through bottlenecks in the future."

"After all, divine power is far superior to ordinary soul power. Even a trace of divine power can cause a qualitative change in your soul power."

This prospect further strengthened Zhu Zhuqing's resolve.

"Then let's continue tomorrow."

She said, turning and walking towards the yard. After a few steps, she stopped and didn't look back. "And... I haven't forgiven you for what happened this morning."

Dai Chengfeng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Fine, I went too far."
