Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Attempting Martial Soul Fusion Again

That afternoon, Su Ming and Ye Lingling finally returned to the academy. After bidding Su Ming farewell, Lingling immediately went to her dorm, utterly exhausted. She hadn't slept all night and needed some serious rest.

Su Ming was also worn out, so he quickly jotted down a few notes in his diary and entered a state of meditation, using it to both rest and cultivate. That evening, the reward went to Ye Lingling once again, granting her a Divine Soul Ring, which allowed her to drift into a peaceful sleep, confident she would have sweet dreams.

Since both of them were quite tired from the previous day's events, Su Ming had already told Lingling to take a proper break and skip their usual morning training in the grove. Happy to have a chance to sleep in, Lingling eagerly accepted, planning to catch up on her lost sleep.

As for Su Ming, he felt as if he had fully recharged overnight, living up to his nickname as a "Golden Knight of Stamina." With no training planned in the grove, he decided to head to the simulated environment for individual practice instead.

The next morning, feeling ready to attempt the martial soul fusion again, Su Ming invited Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to join them. Since the fusion technique he and Lingling were attempting was likely support-oriented, they would need people present to fully assess its effects.

As the three girls stood nearby, excited anticipation filled the air. Su Ming and Ye Lingling held hands, releasing their martial souls and gradually channeling their soul power to meld them together.

Minute by minute, their souls merged, until finally, a surge of energy resonated as Su Ming's wood-element soul and Lingling's Yin-Yang Twin Lotus soul combined fully.

With the fusion complete, they instinctively knew how to use their new technique. The energy emanated from their souls, spreading into a green ring around them, forming a protective aura over everyone in the area. The trio could immediately feel an invigorating boost, though the full extent of the technique's benefits was still unclear.

Xiao Wu, curious, stepped closer to ask, "Su Ming, Lingling, what exactly does your martial soul fusion skill do? I feel so comfortable standing here."

Su Ming explained, "Our fusion skill has a few effects. First, anyone standing within the circle receives continuous healing. Second, the aura dispels all negative effects, like poison or paralysis. And third, all team members in the area receive a 100% boost to their life energy, which affects all their abilities."

The three girls were stunned—this skill was incredibly powerful!

However, Ning Rongrong had a question. "Su Ming, what happens if an enemy steps into this circle? Will they also be boosted?"

Su Ming smirked. "No need to worry about that. Only those we identify as allies will receive the positive effects. Lingling and I can use our intent to mark people as teammates, giving them the benefits. Anyone unmarked…"

Su Ming paused, fueling their curiosity, until Lingling continued, "Anyone unmarked will suffer the opposite—they'll gradually absorb my martial soul's slow-acting poison. As I explained before, I can switch my soul's properties between healing and poison at will."

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were amazed. Zhu Zhuqing, who had prior experience with martial soul fusion skills like the Ghost White Tiger, was especially impressed, feeling this skill surpassed even her family's abilities.

With everything set, they decided to name the skill "Breath of Life."

Having perfected their new skill, Su Ming and Lingling resumed their regular training. Another five months flew by, leaving only one month before the Soul Master Tournament.

In those five months, they focused on strengthening their teamwork with other members of the Emperor Battle Team. Su Ming also occasionally visited the palace to meet Qian Renxue, confirming that the weakened state of Prince Xue Beng was indeed her doing.

Su Ming missed seeing Xue Beng personally, but Qian Renxue described his appearance vividly. By now, Xue Beng was confined under the emperor's orders, visibly weakened with dark circles, bloodshot eyes, and a gaunt frame—a clear sign of indulgence taken to excess.

Additionally, Su Ming gifted Dugu Bo the 30,000-year Golden Armored Dragon left arm soul bone that Liu Erlong had once given him, explaining its origins briefly. Grateful, Dugu Bo absorbed the soul bone without hesitation, acquiring a powerful defensive skill that created an armor with a 150% boost in defense.

As the Soul Master Tournament approached, Su Ming and the others felt ready. Their skills, including Breath of Life, had reached new heights.


Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Approaching the Soul Master Tournament, Friendly Match with Tianshui Academy

After five months, Su Ming and his team showed clear progress. Su Ming had reached level 57, Xiao Wu level 55, Zhu Zhuqing level 49, Ning Rongrong level 47, Dugu Yan level 54, and Ye Lingling level 46. Today, their team received a challenge letter from Tianshui Academy, proposing a friendly match before the Soul Master Tournament.

The three academy commissioners were happy to agree, but with Su Ming's team's current strength, it was clear Su Ming, as the captain, didn't even need to participate. Dugu Yan could lead the other Soul Sect-level team members, and it would likely be enough.

Since this friendly match was a great opportunity, the academy decided to make it a more significant event, showcasing the strength of Tiandou Royal Academy. In the past, their team struggled against other renowned academies, but now, with the new talents joining them, they had a real shot at the top title. This friendly match was the perfect way to bring attention to their academy's reputation before the main tournament.

The arrangements for the match were left to Dugu Bo as the team leader, with one request: Su Ming and Xiao Wu would not participate to keep some of the team's strength hidden. After all, it was clear that Tianshui Academy's visit was a tactic to gauge their strength, and it wouldn't do to expose all their abilities prematurely.

Meanwhile, at Tianshui Academy:

Shui Yue'er, beaming with excitement, spoke to Shui Bing'er, "Sis, we're finally going to see Su Ming! How did you think to set up a friendly match with Tiandou Royal Academy?"

Shui Bing'er shook her head, slightly exasperated at her sister's infatuation. "It just made sense. We can't wait until the tournament to make an impression on Su Ming. Besides, we know how much he seems to like our Tianshui girls. For a friendly match, why not start with a dance performance? He'll likely remember us after that."

"Not to mention, this gives us one last chance to improve our skills. Maybe there'll be a nice reward."

Shui Yue'er shrugged. She wasn't too focused on improving her abilities. What mattered most was seeing if Su Ming was as attractive as he seemed in the broadcast. Meanwhile, Xue Wu laughed, "If Huo Wu from Blazing Academy hears we're going to meet Su Ming first, she'll be furious!"

"But let's face it," Xue Wu continued, "our academy's strength is probably no match for Su Ming's team. If our guesses are right, they have at least three Soul Kings: Su Ming, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan."

Shui Bing'er replied calmly, "Winning isn't the priority here. This is a friendly match, after all, and they're sure to hold back some of their abilities. Su Ming will likely just watch from the sidelines."

Xue Wu nodded in agreement. "You're right. It's impressive you managed to convince the dean to let us do this."

A few days later, Shui Bing'er and her team arrived in Tiandou City, their teacher leading them to the academy's hotel. Meanwhile, the teacher headed to Tiandou Royal Academy to discuss the match's details with the three commissioners and Dugu Bo.

Elsewhere, at Blazing Academy, Huo Wu was furious she hadn't thought of organizing a friendly match with Tiandou Royal Academy herself. "This is definitely Shui Bing'er's doing!" she muttered.

Having focused on training, she hadn't considered an early encounter with Su Ming, though her teammates were worn out from her intense regimens. While she worried about the upcoming competition, her team had made notable progress, giving her some reassurance. Still, she was anxious. In the past, Blazing Academy and Tianshui Academy were evenly matched, but with three Tianshui members having Su Ming's diary, Huo Wu feared they might get rewards that could tip the balance.

Just then, Huo Wushuang approached her. "Sis, did you hear about the friendly match between Tianshui and Tiandou? With only a month left until the tournament, aren't they afraid of exposing their strengths?"

Huo Wu scoffed, "That's the mindset of the weak. True strength doesn't fear exposure. Even if their abilities are revealed, it won't matter if their power far surpasses ours. Planning alone won't help if we lack the strength to execute it."

Though her words stung, Huo Wushuang couldn't argue. He scratched his head awkwardly, realizing she was right.

"Sis, I get it, but we need a final push. With just a month left, rather than worrying about their match, we should focus on improving our own abilities to qualify in the tournament!"

With a reluctant nod, Huo Wushuang agreed. As her intense training sessions continued, he found himself more fatigued than she was. Despite being the older sibling, he couldn't match Huo Wu's talent, feeling the strain of their sessions much more.

Back at Tiandou, Shui Bing'er and her team checked into the hotel arranged by the academy, awaiting their friendly match. The excitement and anticipation in the city were palpable as news spread quickly.
