Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

"boom!"

The top spun rapidly, striking Wang Sheng's foot directly.

Wang Sheng reacted quickly and leaped into the air.

"Again!"

Wang Teng immediately turned the top around.

The metal top traced a semi-circular arc on the ground, and the instant Wang Sheng landed, it sprang up from his side and rear, slamming into his knee.

Although Wang Teng's top was only half the size of his palm, it was made of solid metal.

If it actually hits the knee, the outcome of the fight will be decided immediately.

Therefore, after sensing the wind behind him, Wang Sheng knew that he could not completely avoid it and immediately reacted.

As he turned, Wang Sheng suddenly raised his right leg, preparing to take the blow head-on with his shin and kick forward.

"boom!"

The spinning top was kicked away by Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng himself staggered and felt a dull pain in his calf.

He couldn't help but frown and squatted down to check the injury.

On the other side, the spinning top that had been kicked away flew out of control towards Xiao Wu's direction.

The top had stopped spinning and was caught steadily in Xiao Wu's palm.

The moment Xiao Wu touched the spinning top, both she and Wang Teng shuddered simultaneously.

An invisible wave rippled out from them, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

Tang San, who was standing next to Xiao Wu, and the other work-study students noticed something was wrong. Although they didn't understand what had happened, they subconsciously took a few steps back.

"How is this going?"

Tang San asked, his eyes filled with doubt.

"It seems to be... the 'Soul Fusion Technique' mentioned in the book?"

After examining his calf, Wang Sheng stood up and witnessed this scene.

Before Wang Teng's martial spirit awakened, he had Wang Sheng copy many books for him at the academy's library.

Therefore, Wang Sheng was able to immediately discern the situation upon seeing the scene before him.

At this moment, it seemed as if an invisible connection had been established between Wang Teng and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu's martial soul "Soft Bone Charming Rabbit" automatically appeared, turning into a pink light that shot straight into Wang Teng's spinning top martial soul.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously activated their soul power, attempting to push the fusion process forward.

However, when the two soul energies came into contact and attempted to merge through their martial souls, an unexpected incident occurred.

"puff!"

A distinct repulsive force suddenly erupted, and the soul power of the two clashed fiercely.

Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul was ejected and returned to her body.

Wang Teng's explosive spinning top martial spirit also turned into a speck of light, dissipated, and returned to his body.

"This...is it a failure?"

Wang Sheng looked at his younger brother, then at Xiao Wu, somewhat puzzled.

“Soul fusion skills are not so easy to succeed.”

A deep voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned around and saw that Master Yu Xiaogang had been standing there at some point, with his hands behind his back, looking serious and like a wise man.

"teacher."

Tang San quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm." Yu Xiaogang nodded and slowly walked between Wang Teng and Xiao Wu.

He carefully examined the two of them before speaking, "Your martial souls have indeed shown signs of fusion, but judging from your performance just now, your failure occurred at the stage of soul power fusion."

"Master, is there any way to resolve this situation?"

Wang Teng immediately pressed for an answer.

Even he himself was surprised that he was able to trigger the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Xiao Wu.

However, since this has already happened, we should at least get to the bottom of it.

"Well... that's quite difficult."

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment and said, "According to the information I have collected, among Soul Masters, Soul Power fusion is relatively easy, but Martial Soul fusion is extremely difficult."

"But your situation is exactly the opposite. The opportunity for the fusion of your martial souls has appeared, but your soul power cannot be successfully integrated... I also don't quite understand this."

"So there's no other way?"

Xiao Wu blinked and asked.

"It's not entirely unsolvable. You can work on improving your teamwork and coordination. Perhaps through long-term cooperation and mutual understanding, you can eventually overcome the hurdle of soul power fusion."

After a moment's thought, Yu Xiaogang offered a direction.

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

Xiao Wu waved her hand, clearly not wanting to expend that effort.

"Alright, it's getting late, let me treat everyone to a meal."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the sky and took the initiative to make a suggestion.

It was past 5 p.m. when the group followed Yu Xiaogang to the second floor of the cafeteria.

Chapter 18 Knowledge Blockade

Yu Xiaogang was quite generous, ordering a table full of delicious dishes, including fish and meat, all with an enticing aroma.

This meal was a luxury for the students who lived a frugal life, and everyone ate with great satisfaction.

After the meal, Tang San left with Yu Xiaogang, seemingly for another matter.

Wang Teng and the others then returned to Dormitory 7 together.

Tomorrow is the official entrance ceremony, so everyone needs to get some rest early.

As the night deepened and all was quiet, the sound of steady breathing gradually filled the dormitory.

Wang Teng lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

He was still replaying the scene that had unfolded on the playground that evening.

"I can't believe there's a connection between Xiao Wu and me that we've fused our martial souls... Could it be because Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?"

"I named my martial spirit 'Spinning Top,' could it really possess the properties of those spinning tops from the cartoons of my past life? Is it treating Xiao Wu as a 'divine spinning top beast'?"

I've thought about it a lot, but I still can't figure it out clearly.

Wang Teng turned over, deciding to stop worrying and instead calming himself down, closing his eyes and trying to enter a meditative state.

Wang Teng knew that his innate soul power was only level five, which was inferior to those geniuses. Therefore, he decided to try a method he learned from fan fiction he read before his transmigration: to replace sleep with meditation.

Whether this method is feasible or not, it is still a cultivation path worth trying.

At first, the meditation went fairly smoothly.

Wang Teng's consciousness gradually calmed down, and his soul power slowly flowed along his martial soul.

But by midnight, his concentration had finally reached its limit.

Exhaustion washed over him like a tide; Wang Teng's head grew heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually faded...

In the end, he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep on his pillow.

It seems that Wang Teng will need more time to practice and adapt before he can truly replace sleep with meditation.

This path of cultivation is destined to be taken step by step, steadily and surely.

The moonlight outside the window quietly streamed into the room, illuminating the sleeping faces.

The night was quiet and long.

Nottingham College, the next morning.

Just as dawn was breaking, Wang Teng was still half asleep when he was awakened by a series of urgent shouts and shaking.

"Little brother! Wake up! We're going to be late, the opening ceremony is about to start!"

While shouting, Wang Sheng unceremoniously pulled off the blanket covering Wang Teng and reached out to pull him up from the bed.

"Huh? Is it already morning?"

Wang Teng sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes still half-closed, fumbling for his clothes to put on while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

The other work-study students in the dormitory had already gotten up and were gradually packing up to leave.

Seeing this, Wang Teng dared not delay any longer and immediately quickened his movements.

Not long after, the two brothers hurriedly left the dormitory.

There was no time for breakfast, so they simply jogged towards the main teaching building.

On the way, Wang Sheng glanced at Wang Teng beside him, who was panting and looked exhausted, and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to you? Didn't you sleep well last night? You look much more tired than usual."

"It's nothing."

Wang Teng shook his head, offering no further explanation.

When the two arrived in front of the main teaching building, several rows of students had already lined up in the open space according to their grade level.

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late."

Immediately afterwards, they quickly separated and each found their own grade's team to stand in.

Wang Teng stood in the line of first-year students, looked around, and saw that there were about forty people.

Wang Teng stood in the last row because he was the tallest.
