Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

The Magic Lion finally moved.

It was accelerating, but Luo Yun noticed that its running route wasn't a straight line—it was an arc. The Magic Lion didn't charge head-on, but instead ran in a large arc along the edge of the arena, circling around from the left flank; it was testing the waters.

Luo Yun raised his right hand.

Moisture in the air condensed in his palm, and a long sword took shape in his hand.

He held his sword horizontally in front of him and then swung it out.

That sword strike wasn't fast. In fact, it was quite slow, slow enough that you could clearly see the trajectory of the blade.

Ice-blue soul energy sword energy flew out from the blade, and wherever the sword energy passed, the moisture in the air instantly condensed into fine ice crystals.

But in the perception of the Magic Lion, what was flying towards it was not just the cold sword energy, but something else entirely.

The golden vertical pupils of the Demon Lion suddenly contracted.

Dangerous. Extremely dangerous.

It instinctively wanted to stop, but it was sprinting too fast, leaving four white marks on the stone pavement with its limbs, before it suddenly twisted and rolled to the side.

It had barely gotten up from the ground, and before it could even stand up properly, the second sword had already arrived.

The Demon Lion had nowhere to hide.

Then it did something that left all the viewers speechless.

It turned and ran, its four hooves flying, not caring about its appearance, with its tail between its legs, it ran all the way back to the iron gate, plunged in, and disappeared into the dark passage.

The audience erupted in murmurs. No one understood what had happened. In their eyes, Luo Yun had only swung his sword twice; the ice-attribute soul power attack, though visually impressive, hadn't even touched the Demon Lion's body. Yet, as if it had seen a ghost, it turned tail and ran back to its cage.

In a certain spot in the stands, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao were watching.

Tang Ya frowned, looking puzzled: "What's wrong with that lion? Luo Yun's sword didn't even touch it! Why is it hiding?"

Huo Yuhao stood on Tang Ya's other side, watching intently. But even so, he still didn't understand why the demonic lion suddenly changed direction in mid-air, rolled around awkwardly, and then ran away.

"Senior Brother?" Huo Yuhao turned to look at Bei Bei.

Bebe turned his gaze away from the arena. He didn't answer, but simply shook his head, making an "I don't know" expression.

Of course he knew.

The fact that Luo Yun became Mu En's apprentice was not made public, but who is Bei Bei? This news might still be a secret among ordinary teachers and students, but Bei Bei already knew about it.

What was Moon's signature move? Reigning supreme.

By combining momentum, soul power, and spiritual power, an invisible attack method is formed that directly affects the opponent's mental state.

The Magic Lion wasn't dodging the ice sword; it was dodging the Emperor's Reign.

Beibei watched the blue figure slowly retracting his ice sword on the arena and sighed inwardly. Junior Brother Luo Yun had only been an apprentice for less than a year, hadn't he?

The referee stood on the sidelines and raised his hand.

"Third grade, Luo Yun—passed."

Luo Yun sheathed his ice sword. He nodded slightly to the chief referee, then turned and walked off the arena.

After sitting in his seat in Class 1 for a while, a young teacher wearing the inner court uniform came to find him.

"Luo Yun, Dean Yan requests your presence."

Luo Yun glanced at him, nodded calmly, and followed him.

In the office, Yan Shaozhe sat behind his desk. When he saw Luo Yun come in, he pointed to the chair opposite him.

"sit."

Luo Yun sat down, waiting for him to speak.

"Did you use the 'Reign Supreme' skill in today's assessment?"

"Um."

Yan Shaozhe nodded, picked up his teacup, took a sip, put it down, leaned back in his chair, looked at Luo Yun, and had a satisfied smile on his lips.

"You've made good progress in the six months your teacher has been teaching you."

"The teacher is very good." Luo Yun spoke the truth. Although his progress in ruling the world was largely due to the system helping him accelerate his progress by overdrafting, he wouldn't have even found the way without Mu En's guidance.

Yan Shaozhe did not continue on this topic. He put down his teacup, crossed his hands on the table, and his expression became more serious.

"There's another reason I called you here today."

"Ma Xiaotao told me something," Yan Shaozhe said slowly. "During this time, as your soul power merged and purified with hers, she felt an inexplicable resonance between her martial soul and yours, as if they were attracting each other."

He paused, looked into Luo Yun's eyes, and said, word by word, "I suspect that you may possess a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Luo Yun's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I didn't feel it before," he said truthfully.

Yan Shaozhe nodded, as if he had expected this answer.

"So I want you to give it a try. Not to expect results right now, just to give it a shot. If there really is a possibility of fusion, it will be an incredible opportunity for both of you."

Luo Yun looked at him and remained silent for a few moments.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Yan Shaozhe turned around, his smile deepening.

"Alright. Let's go find her in the inner courtyard then."

Ma Xiaotao was already in the cultivation room.

"You're here?"

"Senior."

The two sat down facing each other, less than a meter apart, just like every time they had suppressed the evil fire before.

"Did your teacher tell you?" Ma Xiaotao asked.

"I already said that."

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath, stretched out her hands, palms up, and placed them on her knees.

"Let's begin."

Luo Yun also extended his hand, his palm facing hers, less than half a foot apart.

Two streams of soul power were released simultaneously. Ice blue and orange-red clashed in the air.

At first, nothing happened.

Luo Yun could feel Ma Xiaotao's soul power lingering outside his palm. His soul power did not actively try to contact it, but simply remained quietly in place, maintaining a half-foot distance from her soul power.

Ma Xiaotao frowned, then decided to go all the way and pushed her soul power forward, completely merging it with Luo Yun's soul power.

In that instant, Luo Yun sensed it.

The Fiery Phoenix is... seeking the Ice Phoenix's consent.

As if submitting, the two equally proud phoenixes met in the air, one of them bowing its head slightly.

Luo Yun sensed this subtle attitude.

The Ice Phoenix did not refuse.

The soul power has merged.

Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up.

Luo Yun also sensed it. The fused soul power flowed between their palms, warm and stable. But it was still probing, still exploring, and had not yet found the true way to fuse.

He hesitated for a moment, then made a decision.

He actively controlled his soul power to propel himself forward, responding to the cautious request of the Evil Fire Phoenix.

Luo Yun closed his eyes, focusing on feeling the power of fusion.

Ice melts in fire, and fire cools in ice; together they become a third thing.

Luo Yun was about to continue exploring when he suddenly stopped.

If they continue to merge, they will lose control and unleash their true fusion technique.

He opened his eyes, and Ma Xiaotao opened hers at the same time. They looked at each other, and without saying a word, simultaneously withdrew their soul power.

After a few moments of silence, Ma Xiaotao stood up.

"Walk."

The two walked out of the cultivation room one after the other. Yan Shaozhe saw their expressions after they came out from outside the door and knew that something was going to happen, so he followed them to an open space.

"There's no one here." Ma Xiaotao turned around.

The two were facing each other, several meters apart.

They released their martial spirits simultaneously, and the two streams of spirit power collided directly without hesitation.

This time, they collided like two shooting stars, bursting into a blinding flash of light.

The light grew brighter and brighter. The ice blue and orange-red were no longer two separate colors, but instead, in the process of merging, they presented a completely new color—blue-white.

The light gradually faded.

A phoenix hovers in mid-air.

It was more than twice the size of Luo Yun's Ice Phoenix, with a wingspan of over ten meters. Its entire body was covered in blue and white feathers, each feather burning with blue and white flames. Its eyes were ice blue, but deep within its pupils flickered orange-red flames. Its tail feathers were long, trailing behind it like a blue and white ribbon.

The phoenix raised its head and let out another cry, so loud that the entire Shrek Academy could hear it.
