Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Perfect Compatibility and the Enhanced Effects of Spirit Power Fusion

While speaking, Su Ming observed Ye Lingling's expression. With her cheeks flushed, she looked remarkably beautiful—almost as captivating as Rongrong had been during her own "steamy" moments. Su Ming felt no rush; he had given her the option, and now it was up to Ye Lingling to make her choice. For him, it didn't matter either way.

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Lingling took a deep breath, calming herself. With a serious expression, she said, "Alright, let's give it a try!"

This response surprised both Su Ming and Dugu Yan, who hadn't expected Ye Lingling to make such a bold decision.

Dugu Yan quickly moved closer, concerned. "Lingling, aren't you rushing this? Even if you want to attempt the martial spirit fusion technique, there's no need to hurry. You could take your time with Su Ming."

Ye Lingling shook her head. "Yan, it's not that I want to rush, but the Spirit Master Tournament is only nine months away. We don't have the luxury of building a bond over time. I don't want my hesitation to delay Su Ming's progress. Besides, if Su Ming is likely to become our team captain, I can't afford to waste his time. He needs to focus on his training, too!"

Su Ming was genuinely surprised by her words. He hadn't expected Ye Lingling to be so considerate of his situation, and his opinion of her rose further.

Ignoring Dugu Yan's concerns, Ye Lingling looked back at Su Ming. "Let's try an embrace to make it easier to merge our spirit power. But I have a request."

Curious, Su Ming asked, "What's that?"

With a slight blush, Ye Lingling said hesitantly, "I… I'd prefer to face away, and you can hold me from behind. That way, it's a compromise."

Su Ming chuckled. "Of course, no problem!"

He hadn't expected Ye Lingling to propose such a considerate compromise. It was indeed less intimate than a face-to-face embrace. Facing away allowed for closeness without making her too uncomfortable.

With Ye Lingling's agreement, Su Ming stepped behind her and placed his hands on her waist. The moment he made contact, Ye Lingling felt a tingling sensation, almost like a gentle electric shock. Her face flushed red as she closed her eyes, becoming utterly silent. Su Ming, who was taller, noticed a hint of steam rising from her head, adding to her already intense blush.

Dugu Yan, observing from the sidelines, sighed inwardly. If she's this embarrassed by it, why force herself?

Su Ming, standing so close, caught a faint scent from her, and although he couldn't deny a hint of desire, he quickly suppressed it. With Ye Lingling's trust, now isn't the time for wandering thoughts.

He took a deep breath to steady himself. "Ye Lingling, try to calm down. Just follow the previous steps."

Ye Lingling nodded softly and took several breaths, focusing on calming her mind. She visualized herself floating on a calm lake, emptying her thoughts. This time, their spirit energy merged more naturally, flowing freely as their physical contact provided a smoother channel for transmission.

Su Ming felt something extraordinary—their state was perfect for merging! It was as though their spirit power was just on the verge of fully integrating.

Standing nearby, Dugu Yan saw their combined spirit energy radiating a brilliant glow as it intertwined. After about half an hour, their spirit energy fully merged. They felt a noticeable enhancement—not only a warm sensation but also a quicker, stronger flow of spirit power through their bodies. Their spirit power regeneration and cultivation speed seemed to have improved.

Due to Ye Lingling not actively cultivating, she couldn't confirm it. But Su Ming was sure.

Their martial spirits had reached perfect compatibility, much like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's. This fusion could enhance both their cultivation and spirit power regeneration.

Yet just as the sensation took hold, the fusion dissipated, and Ye Lingling suddenly went limp in Su Ming's arms, surprising him.

He quickly laid her on the ground and checked her condition, letting out a sigh of relief when he found her unharmed.

Dugu Yan rushed over, alarmed. "What happened to Lingling?"

"She's fine," Su Ming assured her. "She's just exhausted from the strain. It's been hard on her mentally and physically. She just needs some rest."

Dugu Yan asked, "You two succeeded, right? How did it feel?"

Su Ming nodded. "Yes, we did it. Our spirit power fusion has some promising effects."

He explained the benefits of their fusion, and Dugu Yan raised a brow. "So, you're saying your fusion makes spirit power regeneration faster. But if Lingling faints every time, isn't that useless?"

Su Ming smiled, shaking his head. "While spirit power can regenerate faster, mental strength doesn't recover the same way. Since this was our first attempt, Lingling had to stay calm while also controlling the fusion. Even though I led the fusion, she still had to maintain control, which drained her."

"So, while we succeeded in merging, it took a toll on her mentally. With practice, it won't happen again. Fatigue is natural after a first attempt, but we've achieved something valuable here!"

Dugu Yan nodded in understanding. "What now?"

Su Ming shrugged. "Let's take her back to her dorm. She'll probably sleep until evening, and we can't leave her out here. You know where her room is, right? It's better if you help her inside since the girls' dorm isn't the best place for me to enter."

Not waiting for Dugu Yan to reply, he lifted Ye Lingling gently, her arms around his neck, and held her in a princess carry.

With her looking like a sleeping beauty in his arms, he said, "Alright, let's get her back before people start assuming things if they see us. It wouldn't be good for her reputation."

In a flash, Su Ming headed for the girls' dorm, and Dugu Yan hurried after him. They arrived at the dorm entrance quickly, and he carefully passed Ye Lingling to Dugu Yan.

Just as she turned to leave, Su Ming called out, "Dugu Yan, same time tomorrow at the grove. We'll test out the full effects!"

Once she was gone, Su Ming shrugged. Spirit Masters have good hearing; she probably heard that.

Checking the time, he decided to head to the dining hall for an early lunch. The academy's meals were excellent, and it was a perfect chance to eat without the crowd.

As he sat down, he suddenly sensed a familiar presence. Looking up, he saw Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing standing there.

Surprised, he asked, "Are you three here for food or looking for me?"

Xiao Wu huffed, "Of course, we're here to eat!"

Ning Rongrong grinned. "We thought we'd grab food before finding you to ask about your fusion practice with Ye Lingling. But looks like we ran into you. Su Ming, we didn't know you were this self-absorbed!"

Su Ming chuckled sheepishly, realizing it was a coincidence. As they took their seats, they didn't start eating but simply stared at him in silence, making Su Ming uncomfortable.

He sighed, "Fine, fine. I know you're curious. No, we didn't fully succeed in the fusion technique—it's way too soon for that. We're not close enough yet. We barely know each other."

"However, we did manage a spirit power fusion after much effort." He recounted the events, and when he mentioned Ye Lingling agreeing to an embrace, the three girls' gazes grew sharp.

"Ahem… I may have suggested it, but the choice was hers!" Su Ming explained awkwardly.

Xiao Wu pouted, "My, Su Ming, your charm is something else! Ye Lingling barely knows you yet was willing to go that far."

Smiling, Su Ming added, "If I didn't have charm, you and Rongrong wouldn't be interested either, right?"

Xiao Wu didn't press further, knowing he was technically right. Zhu Zhuqing, however, simply ate in silence, listening to the conversation. She felt somewhat like an outsider among them.

Rongrong then asked, "So, what about Yan and Ye Lingling? Didn't they come to lunch with you?"

"No," Su Ming replied. "Lingling fainted from exhaustion after the fusion. Dugu Yan took her back to her dorm to rest."

"And will you need to keep practicing with her?" Rongrong asked, curious.

"Most likely, but it'll mainly be in the mornings. Afternoons and evenings are still open for us to train together. I should reach level 49 soon," he said, grinning.

The three felt a newfound sense of urgency. Rongrong sighed. Su Ming's progress is astonishing!

After lunch, Su Ming planned to explore the academy's mimicry training area, hoping it would further accelerate his cultivation.


Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Dugu Yan: "How Could I Have Any Feelings for That Cowardly Traitor!"

As the day's training concluded, evening set in. Su Ming and his friends went to the dining hall, then returned to their dorms, diving into their respective training routines.

Meanwhile, after carrying Ye Lingling back to her dorm and laying her on the bed, Dugu Yan stayed by her side, alternating between training and waiting for her to wake up.

Soon, Ye Lingling blinked awake, her vision still blurry. She felt exhausted, barely able to stay awake. She remembered the morning's training with Su Ming and that their spirit power fusion had succeeded. But how did she end up back in her room? Had she fainted before even experiencing the effects?

Sensing movement, Dugu Yan stopped her own training, noticing that Ye Lingling was finally awake.

"Lingling, how are you feeling?" Dugu Yan asked, gently helping her sit up.

Ye Lingling, still a bit dazed, rubbed her eyes. "I feel a little dizzy. I… I think I fainted, didn't I? Did you carry me back? I'm sorry for the trouble."

Dugu Yan smiled, though slightly embarrassed, and decided to clarify.

"Lingling, don't get too excited, but… Yes, I did bring you back, but from the grove to the dorm door, Su Ming carried you in a princess carry. You looked like a real Sleeping Beauty in his arms."

Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment before her face flushed deeply. In her drowsy state, she was now wide awake.

"W-what? A p-princess carry?" She couldn't believe she'd been held like that. Why hadn't Yan stopped him?

Although slightly embarrassed, she found herself oddly unopposed to the idea. They'd already been close to each other during their training to fuse spirit power. Still, it was mortifying—how was she supposed to face anyone after fainting and being carried by Su Ming?

Dugu Yan, seeing her reaction, sighed inwardly. Just try to get used to it.

"Oh, and Su Ming mentioned that you should come to the grove again tomorrow morning at the same time to continue training. He wants you to feel the benefits of the fusion for yourself."

After explaining the effects Su Ming had described, Dugu Yan added, "Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. There are other Spirit Masters with fusion techniques, but none have reported these enhancements."

Ye Lingling was equally stunned. She hadn't expected her spirit power fusion with Su Ming to have such effects. If it were true, she couldn't deny feeling a bit eager to continue training alongside him. But then she suppressed that thought. Su Ming had his own goals and commitments; she couldn't monopolize his time, not when he had Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Lingling, since you haven't eaten all day, you must be starving. Let's go grab something to eat," Dugu Yan suggested, noticing her friend's discomfort.

Ye Lingling touched her stomach, realizing she was indeed hungry. She'd used a lot of energy that morning, and now her hunger was overwhelming.

After dinner, she started feeling sleepy again. Dugu Yan noticed and said, "You should rest. You'll need the energy for tomorrow."

As they parted, Ye Lingling couldn't help but admire Su Ming's resilience, both in his mental focus and spirit power.

After dinner, Su Ming returned to his dorm and began writing in his journal.

Su Ming's Journal Entry:

"This morning, after meeting Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan at the grove, we discussed a few tips for practicing the spirit fusion technique, and then we began our first trial."

"Dugu Yan stayed to observe, which was fine by me. Knowing that Lingling wouldn't feel entirely at ease alone, her presence also kept me in check. I pride myself on my self-control."

"To activate the fusion technique successfully, a certain level of closeness is required. I was upfront about it—I have a favorable impression of both Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. After all, they're both lovely in appearance and personality."

"My honesty was pretty blunt, and even I felt a bit like a scoundrel admitting interest in both women. In my past life, I'd likely have been slapped for this!"

Ye Lingling/Dugu Yan: So you do know!

"But it had to be said. Ye Lingling wants to practice the fusion technique with me, which means we need to get closer. My interest is clear; the rest is up to her."

"We don't have to become romantically involved, but at least we should be good friends."

"As for Dugu Yan, her grandfather already hinted at arranging a marriage between us. He doesn't mind how many women I have, as long as I treat her well."

"And I'd agreed, on the condition that her grandfather convinces Dugu Yan. This morning was a chance to gauge her thoughts. After all, it's been over a month since our trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Old Freak Dugu probably went looking for Chrysanthemum Douluo, but he should've explained things to Dugu Yan by now."

"Reflecting on it, Dugu Yan seems hesitant. Perhaps it's because of the other women around me. Or maybe… there's still some lingering attachment to Yu Tianheng."

Dugu Yan's inner reaction: Nonsense! How could I ever have feelings for that cowardly traitor!

This remark infuriated Dugu Yan. After everything Yu Tianheng did, especially nearly getting me killed last time, I owe my life to Su Ming. Why would I want anything to do with him?

If she had any thoughts about Yu Tianheng, they were purely vengeful.

"Thinking it over, Dugu Yan is likely more put off by the number of women around me. She's a proud person. Even when outmatched, she won't yield and will fight harder instead. Not like Yu Tianheng, who was crushed by defeat in the battle arena and fell into despair when Yu Xiaogang told him he'd never surpass his disciple."

"If, as the original story implies, Yu Tianheng were able to match or even glimpse Tang San's shadow, he'd become one of the strongest in the land. Tang San became a dual-god entity, wielding both the Shura God and Sea God divine statuses, with Sea God being a high-ranking god among the top divine beings."

"In the story, Tang San's gods of Shura and Sea indirectly helped him defeat Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Without their help, his victory would've been impossible."

Reading about Tang San's dual-god status frustrated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. They were also inheritors of divine legacies—why hadn't their gods provided similar support?

Could Su Ming be right? Had the gods they inherited from, Rakshasa and Angel, truly fallen, leaving only remnants of their powers?

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, pondered more deeply. Xue'er's Angel God inheritance site remains protected by the Worship Hall, with Qian Daoliu and the other priests standing guard. The Angel God even left her a set of inheritance spirit bones, a full set of 100,000-year spirit bones, if fully absorbed!

"But what about me? The Rakshasa God gave no such assistance. I had to rely entirely on my own strength."

Moreover, my Rakshasa Trials only began after my time in Slaughter City. Su Ming mentioned that the Shura God's inheritance site is within Slaughter City. Why would I receive the Rakshasa God's trial there? Could it be… that the Shura God killed the Rakshasa God, leaving only a fragment of its spirit trapped in Slaughter City?

It was a chilling thought.

Thinking back, she recalled her first trial after leaving Slaughter City, with her heart steeped in hatred and bitterness. It involved an encounter with an injured Qian Xunji. At that moment, a voice urged her to exact revenge, promising her boundless power. She'd heeded it, killing Qian Xunji, which marked the start of her Rakshasa Trials.

Now, as she held the Heart Purification Bead gifted by the system, she realized how much it had helped. Without it, the Rakshasa God's influence might have led her further down a dark path.

Perhaps, she thought, to fully inherit the Rakshasa God's power, I must master these emotions rather than letting them control me.

She had come to understand that her trials, while immensely powerful, were also a double-edged sword. The dark power she wielded was as treacherous as it was tempting, and if she ever lost control, it would consume her.

After all, power itself is neither good nor evil; it's how you use it that matters.

The so-called "evil spirit masters" were judged not for the nature of their powers but for the methods they chose to wield them.

Reflecting on her past actions, particularly the way she'd killed Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong recognized the parallels. Her journey of reflection and vigilance had only just begun.
