Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 158: Snow and Ice
"Boom boom boom!"

That familiar, mysteriously harmonious milky-white light began to surge and converge once more.

This time, the light did not directly condense into specific ranking information.

Instead, a clear and majestic phantom first materialized in the center of the sky.

It was a huge creature with a body covered in strange black and white stripes and bulging muscles.

A giant tiger phantom exuding the majesty of the king of beasts and the aura of the underworld!

The giant tiger roared silently to the sky, its claws and teeth sharp, its eyes piercing.

His body was enveloped in a tangible aura of malevolence and sharpness.

"This is... the Netherworld White Tiger?"

"The fusion technique of the inherited martial spirits of the Dai and Zhu families of the Star Luo Empire!"

"It really is it! One of the most famous Martial Soul Fusion Techniques on the continent!"

As soon as this phantom appeared, it was immediately recognized by many knowledgeable Soul Masters on the continent.

The evil-eyed white tiger of the Dai family of the Xingluo royal family and the ghostly spirit cat of the Zhu family have been intermarried for generations.

His martial soul fusion skill, "Netherworld White Tiger," is so powerful that it has long been famous throughout the continent!

It is regarded as one of the symbols of the Star Luo Empire's military power.

really!

The illusory image gradually solidified, transforming into concrete ranking information.

Tenth place: Netherworld White Tiger!

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun belong to the Star Luo Empire!

The mainland authorities reacted differently to this ranking.

Star Luo Empire.

At the same time, golden light shone on Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

They felt a significant increase in the compatibility of their martial souls, an increase in their soul power, and an enhancement of their respective martial soul characteristics.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with ecstasy and ambition.

"The Netherworld White Tiger... it really made the list!"

"Moreover, the compatibility with my martial soul has improved!"

Davis clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him and the increasingly close martial soul connection with his fiancée beside him.

A smug smile spread across his face.

"With the Sky Curtain reward, the power of our Netherworld White Tiger will surely reach new heights in the future!"

"The throne of the Star Luo Empire belongs to me!"

Zhu Zhuyun smiled sweetly, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"If my 'good sister' knew, she would be even more desperate."

She was referring to Zhu Zhuqing, who had fled Xingluo.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Dai Mubai looked at the sky with a complicated expression.

He should have felt honored to see his family's traditional fusion technique on the list.

But then he saw that the performers were his own brother Davis and Zhu Zhuyun.

But Zhu Zhuqing, who should have been his other half, has become a stranger to him, and may even...

He felt a mix of emotions, including pride in his family's legacy.

Even more so, there is the bitterness and regret of losing everything.

"Mu Bai, don't overthink it."

Oscar patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

"They're just ranked tenth, and their soul power level is high, but their compatibility is only 58%, so it's nothing."

Ma Hongjun muttered, "That's right, Fatty thinks that if our Shrek Seven Devils could develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future, it would definitely be more powerful than this!"

Dai Mubai forced a smile but didn't say anything.

His gaze involuntarily drifted towards the Star Luo Empire, and he let out a soft sigh.

Inside the Beidou Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing stood by the window, gazing at the three characters "Zhu Zhuyun" on the sky.

His clear, cold eyes were as still as a deep well, with only a faint trace of coldness passing through them.

The sisterhood that once existed has long been worn away by the fierce competition!
All that's left is a cold distance.

Feeling the increasingly refined and powerful soul power within his body due to the academy's resources and his own efforts, as well as the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul that was transforming in a completely new direction under Dean Lu Xiao's guidance.

"The Netherworld White Tiger..."

She murmured to herself.

"That's no longer my path."

She turned away, no longer looking at the sky, and walked towards the academy's training ground.

Her future lies in Beidou Academy, on the path pointed out by the dean, not in the cold and cruel destiny of her family.

In the Wuhun Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the information for the tenth place and nodded slightly: "The Netherworld White Tiger of the Dai and Zhu families of the Star Luo Empire is indeed on the list. The tenth place is reasonable."

She glanced down at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who seemed somewhat tense, and said calmly.

"Their compatibility is only 58%, and the user is only a Soul Master, yet they are ranked tenth on the list."

"Your 'Bipolar Stillness Domain' far surpasses theirs in terms of compatibility, level, and power, so rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt somewhat relieved.

But the expectation in her eyes was even stronger.

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu's gaze was profound: "Only tenth place. It seems that the evaluation criteria of the Heavenly Canopy for Martial Soul Fusion Skills are indeed extremely high."

"The Netherworld White Tiger is renowned, yet it can only occupy the last place."

"The rankings that follow will likely be more and more surprising."

Just as everyone's thoughts were wavering!
The milky white light in the sky surged once more.

"Boom boom boom!"

The light gathers!

This time, what is presented is an extreme scene of ice blue and pure white intertwined.

Within the illusory image, a noble and magnificent ice-blue phoenix could be vaguely seen, spreading its wings and soaring.

As its wings flapped, countless crystal-clear snowflakes with sharp, knife-like edges fell.

The clear cry of the ice phoenix and the howling of the wind and snow seemed to faintly drift through the sky.

A chilling and murderous aura spread out.

"Is this an Ice Phoenix? And it has the ability to control snow?"

"Tianshui Academy! It's Tianshui Academy's Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

Many Soul Masters who had paid attention to the Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament or were familiar with elemental attribute Soul Masters immediately recognized it.

Shui Bing'er from Tianshui Academy possesses the top-tier Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, while her teammate Xue Wu possesses a special Martial Soul that controls wind and snow.

Previously, on the Genius Ranking, it seemed that Shui Bing'er and her teammates possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Sure enough, the information in the sky appeared:
[Ranked Ninth on the Spirit Fusion Skill Ranking]

[Fusion Skill Name: Falling Snow]

[Owners: Shui Bing'er (Ice Phoenix), Xue Wu (Snowflake)]

[Current Soul Power Level of the Caster: Shui Bing'er (Soul Master), Xue Wu (Soul Master)]

Ninth place!
Snowflakes are falling!

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu from Tianshui Academy!
"Great! Bing'er, Xuewu, you've made the list!"

Inside Tianshui College.

The dean and teachers were overjoyed, and the surrounding students burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Both Shui Bing'er, with her aloof and icy demeanor, and Xue Wu, with her heroic and spirited air, were simultaneously enveloped in golden light.
Feeling the increase in soul power and the strengthening of the connection between martial souls!
And the two soul bones that appeared out of nowhere, radiating an alluring luster and powerful fluctuations, made both of them unable to hide their excitement.

"Bing'er, our Martial Soul Fusion Skill has been recognized!"

Xue Wu grasped Shui Bing'er's hand and said excitedly.

"Ah."

"But this is just the beginning. The Sky Curtain rewards make us stronger, which also means we will attract more attention."

Shui Bing'er nodded, a resolute glint in her icy blue eyes.

Dean Tianshui nodded solemnly: "You two are now the pride of Tianshui Academy and the hope for the future. Please be careful when you are cultivating."

"The outside world... is probably not peaceful."

She was well aware of the saying, "Possessing a treasure is a crime."

Shui Bing'er, in particular, was already exceptionally talented, and now she has received a soul bone and a ranking reward.

It will inevitably become a target of attention and even covetousness from various forces.

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the message "Snowflakes Falling," a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Shui Bing'er, Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, Soul Master, possesses a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with a 63% compatibility rate with her teammates, and now she has received a Soul Bone reward..."

She tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest and gave instructions to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo below.

"This woman has extremely high talent and potential. Her martial soul fusion skill is quite powerful, and she has excellent teamwork with her teammates."

"Once the list is published, we will find a suitable opportunity to recruit from Tianshui Academy in the name of the Spirit Hall."

“The conditions… can be more generous. The situation on the mainland is delicate right now, and it would be best to recruit such a genius.”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo responded in unison.

They also knew about combinations like Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu.

If I could join the Spirit Hall!
It is of great benefit to the cultivation of the younger generation and the replenishment of future combat power.
