Douluo: No one but me can become a god.

Even more astonishingly, their breathing and aura gradually synchronized, as if they had merged into one. With the two combined, their strength was approaching that of a Soul Master.

Sikong Zheng frowned slightly. This was the first time he had seen such a combination, and it seemed that this was going to be a bit tricky.

But hehe, hopefully this will give me some fun!

"Mu Bai, be careful. Judging from their appearance, they should be twins. In general, in this situation, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill might appear," Sikong Zheng said to Dai Mu Bai.

Although Sikong Zheng was not afraid, he would not be careless.

Knowing he was already weaker than anyone else, Dai Mubai felt immense pressure upon hearing that a Martial Soul Fusion Skill would appear. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, realizing he had encountered such a formidable opponent in his first two-on-two match.

"Second Soul Skill, Jack," the two burly men's yellow soul rings lit up as they used the same soul skill with the same pace, their auras merging together, their power extraordinary.

The two men's clash resembled a battle formation of an army, complementing each other.

The violent fists struck Dai Mubai and Sikong Zheng respectively. Sikong Zheng shouted, "Great Forest Technique!" Green trees shot out from his arm to meet the violent fists.

The lush trees exploded violently with the force of the punch, but Sikong Zheng remained unmoved, blocking the force of the punch and retracting the trees.

Dai Mubai's eyes narrowed, and he roared, "Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protective Barrier!" With the support of the third soul skill, a white light shield blocked the fist force that was comparable to that of a Soul Master.

Seeing that their second soul skill had failed to defeat their opponent, the Tianniu brothers decisively retreated and reunited, standing side by side.

Suddenly, the two clenched their hands together, their purple soul rings lit up, and their auras became one. "Third Soul Skill, Demon Bull Roar!" Two black shockwaves rushed towards the two.

The brothers' martial souls are very special; this state resembles a fusion technique, but it is not a true fusion technique.

The power of the black shockwave was clearly far greater than that of the jack. Sikong Zheng extended tree roots from his feet, tied them around Dai Mubai's waist, and pulled him sharply to his side.

If Dai Mubai were to forcibly block this attack, he would definitely be injured, and it would be unnecessary.

Sikong Zheng calmly watched the two black shockwaves, then slapped his palm down, "Wooden Ingot Wall!" Blue wood emerged from the ground, forming a curved archway that perfectly protected Sikong Zheng and Dai Mubai within it.

The black shockwave slammed into the wooden wall, and a shockwave spread outwards. Sikong Zheng and Dai Mubai inside the wooden wall were completely unaffected, while the Tianniu brothers were pushed back several steps by the recoil.

The Tianniu brothers stared in astonishment at the wooden arched wall before them, exchanged bewildered glances, nodded, and without further hesitation, clapped their hands together and roared, "Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Bull Demon King!"

Boom! A massive black bull shadow appeared above the two of them. The black bull shadow raised its two thick forelegs and stomped heavily on the wooden wall.

Boom! Waves of air rippled outwards from the wooden ingot wall as the black bull-like figure raised its forelegs and stomped on the wooden ingot wall with increasingly powerful blows.

After being trampled on repeatedly, the wooden wall began to shake and sway.

Looking at the swaying wooden wall, Dai Mubai also began to panic. He looked anxiously at Sikong Zheng and said:

"Xiao Zheng, what should we do? I didn't expect them to actually be able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

"Don't panic, leave it to me," Sikong Zheng said calmly.

Dai Mubai knew the terror of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, and was helpless at this moment. Looking at Sikong Zheng, who was still calm, he felt inexplicably at ease.

Sikong Zheng closed his eyes, his mind as still as water, his soul power flowing like water.

Dai Mubai was extremely surprised to see Sikong Zheng's body slowly covered by a layer of blue, but he did not make a sound to disturb him.

With a roar, the black bull-like figure stomped heavily on the wooden wall. Finally, the wooden wall, unable to withstand the weight, collapsed into pieces.

Sikong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing. At this moment, he was like a wooden statue, his aura suddenly increasing, his arms rising up as he met the descending hooves with both hands.

Boom! A huge shockwave rippled outwards, instantly sending Dai Mubai flying to the edge of the Soul Arena.

On the fighting stage, a man and a bull are wrestling, and the atmosphere is tense.

With a surge of energy, Sikong Zheng roared, lifting the black bull shadow into the air. He then flipped his arms over, causing the black bull shadow to lose its balance.

Sikong Zheng pushed off with his calf and instantly approached the bull's head, gathering power in his right fist before slamming it down hard.

Boom! The black bull shadow disintegrated, and the Heavenly Bull Brothers suffered a backlash, vomiting blood and collapsing unconscious.

Sikong Zheng released himself from the petrification, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Dai Mubai. "Let's go, it's over."

Dai Mubai's eyes widened in shock as he said:

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Immediately, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and shouts, as they witnessed the appearance of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill and were generous with their applause for the Tianniu duo.

Sikong Zheng and Dai Mubai turned and walked off the Soul Battle Platform.

Before long, Dai Mubai, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, finally couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Zheng, what you just used on the Soul Arena wasn't a Soul Ring Technique, it was probably a self-created Soul Technique, right?"

Sikong Zheng had anticipated Dai Mubai's question and answered frankly:

"Hmm, not bad, that is indeed my self-created soul skill. What? Envious?"

Dai Mubai confirmed his guess and said with a wry smile:

"As expected, it's a self-created soul skill! And such a powerful self-created soul skill, capable of fighting against a martial soul fusion skill and even winning."

Dai Mubai was extremely envious. Both were amplification soul skills, but the other's soul skill was many times better than his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, making him extremely jealous.

After all, Dai Mubai knew how terrifying the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was. The Martial Soul Fusion Skill could easily kill opponents of the same level, and even fight opponents of higher levels. It was rare and powerful.

Even the Martial Soul Fusion Technique failed, which shows just how powerful Sikong Zheng's self-created Soul Technique is.

In fact, most self-created soul skills are far less powerful than this. The reason why Sikong Zheng's self-created soul skills are so powerful is entirely because his Wood Release is so effective.

As his strength increases, he acquires spirit rings, and awakens spirit skills, Sikong Zheng's petrification ability will become stronger and stronger.

Sikong Zheng laughed heartily:

"It was only when I saw a Soul Master using Soul Skills to put on armor in the Soul Arena that I was inspired and created the self-created Soul Skill, Petrification."

Dai Mubai nodded, speechless:

"So this soul skill is called Petrification, which is quite fitting. You're a monster, compared to you, I'm embarrassed to call myself one. And I have a feeling you'll shock the entire continent in the future."

Sikong Zheng smiled and patted Dai Mubai on the shoulder, silently giving his prediction a thumbs up – it was spot on.

For the next period of time, Sikong Zheng and Dai Mubai spent most of their time in the Soul Arena. Dai Mubai had wins and losses in one-on-one battles, but lost most of the time, only maintaining a winning streak in two-on-two battles.

In the 2v2 matches, Dai Mubai was basically just a bystander, with Sikong Zheng taking on two opponents at once and carrying Dai Mubai to victory.

However, by the time Dai Mubai reached the Silver Soul level, Sikong Zheng had hardly participated in any Soul Battles.

...............................

One year later, Shrek, on the roof.

Sikong Zheng finished his meditation, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and then looked at himself with excitement. He had broken through to level 40. As long as he obtained a soul ring, he would be a true Soul Master.

Throughout the year, Sikong Zheng would train his body every morning and hone his wood-like powers and cultivate his soul strength every night.

Sikong Zheng discovered that cultivating wood transformation could also improve his physical attributes, allowing him to unleash his soul skills more skillfully. With a thought, he could wield the wood-escape tree as easily as his own arm.

Just then, Flander was away on business, so Sikong Zheng decided to go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone to hunt soul beasts.

Sikong Zheng has already reached level 40. The graduation requirement for Shrek Academy is to reach the Soul Master level. As for Flander, he was required to graduate at the Silver Soul Master level, which he exceeded. He also obtained a large number of Gold Soul Coins in the Soto Grand Soul Arena.

His current wealth surpasses that of the entire Shrek Academy. Dean Flander has repeatedly extorted his gold soul coins, which Sikong Zheng willingly gave him, gifting Shrek Academy hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins.

For Sikong Zheng, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

It's not long before Sikong Zheng leaves Shrek Academy. Perhaps he will leave soon after obtaining his fourth spirit ring and awakening his fourth spirit skill—the Wood Dragon Technique.

Without further hesitation, Sikong Zheng jumped off the roof and immediately set off for the Star Dou Great Forest.
