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

Chapter 160 Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, Martial Soul Fusion?

"Brother, now that it's improved so much, why don't we test the power of 'Enchantress' now?"

"Perfect timing to test the effectiveness of the Sky Curtain Rewards!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed in Xie Yue's eyes.

The true improvement of one's abilities can only be achieved through testing in actual combat.

His gaze swept across the training ground, finally landing on Yan, who was not far away, sweating profusely and honing his fire abilities in front of a boulder.

"Yan!"

Xie Yue shouted.

Yan, who was immersed in his own training rhythm, turned around when he heard the voice, wiping away his sweat: "Hmm? What's wrong, Xie Yue? Finished training?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the malicious smiles on Hu Liena and Xie Yue's faces, as well as the soul power fluctuations that were more coordinated and unified than before rising from their bodies.

With a start, Yan immediately understood what the brother and sister were up to. He shook his head vigorously and backed away repeatedly.

"No way! Don't even think about it! Using me as a punching bag? No way!"

What a joke!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue were already the two strongest members of the Golden Generation, and now they have both received the Sky Curtain Reward, raising their soul power level by two levels.

Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, "Enchanting Charm," was already incredibly powerful, and now Tianmu has specifically enhanced their Martial Soul Compatibility and the Enchanting Charm Domain...

This power has increased several times over!

He didn't want to be that unfortunate guinea pig.

Even though his Flame Lord's defense had been greatly enhanced by the immortal herbs, he didn't want to withstand such an obviously overpowered attack.

"Yan, don't be afraid!"

Hu Liena smiled charmingly, her voice carrying a natural allure.

But to Yan at this moment, it sounded more like the whispers of the devil.

"We'll use... one-tenth of its power!"

"Really, just one percent! I promise I won't hurt you. I just want to see how the fusion technique changes and how well I can control it."

"That's right, Yan, we're all partners, how could I hurt you?"

Xie Yue also unusually agreed.

Although his expression remained cool.

"Ten percent? Who knows how much your ten percent is?"

Yan looked completely incredulous.

"Last time you guys mentioned 30%, you almost shattered my Flame Armor!"

"After this reward, your 10% might be even more impressive than the 30% you received last time!"

"I won't do it! I won't do it!"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless.

Yan was telling the truth; after the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was increased, it was indeed difficult to precisely control "how much" of its power.

But at this moment, there were only the three of them on the training ground.

Finally, after Hu Liena and Xie Yue repeatedly assured them!
They even promised to use only the "newly comprehended, most basic fusion form, without adding any powerful attack soul skills."

Yan only reluctantly agreed after being told that he could defend himself with all his might, but his face still showed a look of fearlessness in the face of death.

"Flame Lord, possess me!"

Yan let out a low roar, and violent dark red flames instantly erupted from his body, engulfing his entire body.

It forms a thick and ferocious suit of fire armor!

Runes flowed across the armor, radiating intense heat and a solid texture.

"Come on! Let me see just how much stronger your Martial Soul Fusion Technique really is!"

Yan said in a muffled voice, adopting a full defensive stance.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue exchanged a nod and said no more.

"Soul Fusion Skill - Enchantress!"

The two shouted at the same time, and their soul power surged out like a flood bursting its banks!

Unlike before, this time the flow of soul power was several times smoother!
A captivating pink glow and a sharp, blood-red aura!

Almost instantly, they intertwined perfectly.

A constantly churning pink mist, over thirty meters in diameter, was formed!
The moment the domain took shape!
The training ground seemed to have been mostly devoured, becoming dim and hazy.

Even though Yan was prepared, he felt a slight dizziness despite being on the edge of the domain.

The surrounding scenery seemed to begin to distort, and a faint, seductive whisper rang in my ears. Even the circulation of my own soul power became slightly sluggish!
"Such powerful domain interference! Is this really just the basic form?"

Yan was shocked; the mental interference from this domain was far stronger than before!
What alarmed him even more was...

In the mist, the blurry, alluring yet sharp "enchanting" figure moved almost the instant the domain took shape!
There was no earth-shattering spectacle, only a pink streak of light so fast it almost left a blur.

It pierced through space like a ghost, heading straight for his chest!
"Flame Barrier!"

Yan dared not be negligent. His second and third soul rings lit up at the same time, and several thick walls of flame instantly condensed in front of him.

At the same time, the flame armor shone brightly, its defensive power pushed to the limit.

however--

"laugh!"

A soft, tearing sound rang out.

The pink streak of light seemed to ignore the barrier of the wall of flames, or perhaps its sharpness exceeded the limits of what the flame energy could withstand. It easily pierced through layers of defense!

Finally, it gently touched the thickest part of Yan's flame armor on his chest.

There was no violent explosion, nor any flames.

Yan felt a force, a mixture of extreme sharpness and eerie vibration, penetrate his body, and he groaned.

His feet moved uncontrollably, and he stumbled back seven or eight steps.

Each step left a deep, charred footprint on the hard training ground.

The flame armor on his chest had dimmed noticeably, and a thin crack had appeared. His blood and qi were churning violently within him!

After striking, the pink streak of light gracefully retreated back into the mist.

The next moment, the fog quickly dissipated!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue reappeared, their expressions unchanged.

Only a slight sheen of sweat on his forehead showed that the seemingly effortless strike had actually been executed with exquisite skill in terms of both energy expenditure and control.

"Cough...cough!"

Yan steadied himself and rubbed his chest, which felt stuffy.

Looking at the cracks in the armor, he stared in shock at the brother and sister who had finished their practice.

"You...you call this one-tenth of its power?"

"This power is almost half as strong as before, isn't it?"

"Moreover, the speed, penetration, and that damned domain interference are all much stronger!"

Hu Liena and Xie Yue also showed surprise and delight. They exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Brother, it seems that our Martial Soul Fusion Skill has really undergone a qualitative change."

Hu Liena felt the still surging and harmonious flow of soul power within her body.

"Not only has its power increased significantly, but it is also easier to control, and the consumption of soul power seems to have decreased."

Xie Yue nodded, looking at the faintly humming moon blade in his hand: "The increased compatibility brings benefits in all aspects. The potential of the demon is probably greater than we imagined."

Yan walked over and said with a wry smile, "You should find someone else to practice with next time. My old bones can't take this kind of torture."

"However, congratulations on becoming stronger."

Hu Liena smiled and said, "Thanks, Yan, it's all thanks to you for helping me verify it."

As the three were talking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the training ground. A deacon from the Spirit Hall rushed over and bowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, Lady Xieyue, Lord Yan. His Holiness the Pope summons you. Please proceed to the Papal Palace immediately."

The three men's expressions turned serious, knowing it must be because of the rankings.

A confident glint flashed in Hu Liena's and Xie Yue's eyes!
This experience has given them even greater confidence in their own strength and the future of their fusion techniques.

……

Beidou Academy.

Unlike most people outside, Lu Xiao did not stare intently at the announcement of each ranking on the sky.

He was mostly observing and analyzing!
An attempt was made to analyze the complex evaluation logic behind the "Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking" set by Tianmu.

"The Netherworld White Tiger, number ten."

"Snowflakes fall, the ninth."

"Dragon and Snake Combination Attack, Eighth."

"Bewitching beauty, seventh..."

Lu Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on the table unconsciously as his mind raced through the possibilities.

"The combined attack of the dragon and snake can threaten a titled Douluo, and its power seems to be the greatest, but it is actually ranked close to that of Ice and Snow Falling and Demonic Charm!"

"This clearly shows that destructive power is not the primary criterion."

His gaze swept across the window and landed on two girls in the distance who were discussing the rankings in hushed tones.

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling.

Ning Rongrong, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the number one auxiliary weapon spirit in the world.

Ye Lingling, with the help of Tianmu, broke free from the shackles of her martial spirit!
More importantly, the martial spirits of these two girls, through a combination of chance and long-term tacit cooperation, have...

An extremely unique and almost unheard-of auxiliary martial soul fusion skill was born!

Its effect is neither attack nor defense!
In terms of direct lethality, it is almost zero!

However, its strategic value, in some cases, may far exceed that of ten offensive fusion techniques.

"Rongrong and Lingling's fusion technique, if judged solely on its destructive power, probably wouldn't even qualify for a spot on the list."

Lu Xiao pondered, "But Tianmu has not yet announced their names, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skills absolutely must qualify them for the list!"

"Then, the only explanation is that the Sky Curtain's evaluation system gives extremely high weight to factors such as the quality of the Martial Soul, the potential of the Soul Master, the rarity of the fusion skill, and its strategic value!"

……

"Buzz!"

And at this moment, above the sky.

The milky white light began to surge violently once again!
An even more magnificent and mysterious aura began to permeate the air.

This foreshadows an even more astonishing ranking to be announced soon!
The sixth place will be revealed soon!

Everyone's curiosity was aroused to its peak!
