Chapter 81: CH 81: 100% Martial Soul Compatibility
With their fingers intertwining unconsciously, wings sprouted from Qian Renxue's back. Her beautiful golden wings surrounded her and Ah Li, making a cocoon of wings, completely shielding them from the outside world as their Soul Power surged from within.
Snake Lance Douluo's eyes widened :"This must be the Martial Soul Compatibility stage Ah Li was talking about. We need to be on the highest salary so nothing goes wrong, alright?" Porcupine Fish Douluo nodded seriously :"Got it."
Hours passed slowly, their holy and evil Soul Power present all the while. Dancing and fusing into one, empowering and accompanying one another. After several hours, when the morning sun was beginning to sip in, their Soul Power calmed down.
The golden wings began to flutter open, revealing the two from the inside. Slowly, their eyes began to flutter open as well. Their sleepy eyes began to focus, before they looked at each other in amazement :"100% compatibility..."
Noticing their interlocked hands, Qian Renxue calmed down her excitement and smiled teasingly :"We really are moving fast in this relationship, huh?" Surprising him, before making Ah Li chuckle :"I think it's justified considering we were apparently made for each other, right?"
"Fair enough." She smiled fondly, before getting up in one swift motion and helping him up to his feet :"But seriously, this is way too surprising. 100% compatibility, huh? That's the strongest state of Martial Soul Fusion according to you. And with the Martial Soul Fusion being between two God Martial Souls, I'm really curious as to what power it will hold."
"Then why don't we try it out as fast as possible?"
"Hm?"
"You heard me. You're not the only one curious about our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, I'm hella excited about it too! So why don't we check it out against the Soul Beast that you'll choose?"
'Wow, look at this cutie.' She smiled in amusement, before pinching his cheeks :"You're really handsome, but you can be seriously cute too, you know?" Ah Li was surprised, but didn't push her away. He chuckled instead, letting her play with his cheeks :"Glad you found one more good thing about me."
'So adorable. And his cheeks are surprisingly soft.' She mused, before letting go of them with a pop :"Alright then, we'll try our Martial Soul Fusion Skill when we find a suitable Soul Beast for me."
Finally recognizing the presence of the elders, the Titled Douluos bowed down respectfully :"Congratulations on your fortune, your highness. Finding someone who has Martial Soul Compatibility is already extremely rare, but finding someone who has 100% compatibility must be heaven's blessing."
"Hahahaha, then let's hurry and see how blessed I am." She chuckled before walking away with Ah Li's hand in hers. Although they had hid it, they were so excited they had completely forgotten they were holding hands before. Once they realized it but didn't see the other complaining or letting go, they just rolled with it.
Leaving the two oldies speechless :'They really —are— moving fast, huh? Damn, if I had just a bit of this kid's luck with women when I was young, I wouldn't be single now...' Sighing depressingly, they tailed the two.
"We have to go deeper into the forest for 10,000-year Soul Beasts." Said Qian Renxue.
"That's right. Especially since we're looking for Soul Beasts that are 40,000-year at the very least, we need to go quite deep."
"We're already very deep into the forest, but unfortunately, I don't think we'll meet any Soul Beasts that strong."
"What if we use another method of searching rather than just looking for one?"
"Hm? What do you propose?"
"Did you realize how it felt like we were stronger than usual while cultivating?"
"Yeah, I have heard that the speed of cultivation will increase when Soul Masters with Martial Soul Compatibility are cultivating together."
"Well, they can also empower each other in a fight using their Soul Power."
"Oh? Really?"
"Yeah. And I was thinking maybe we could try it and I could search for a suitable Soul Beast with my Spiritual Power."
"*Amused* Interesting proposal, but do you think your Spiritual Power would be strong enough to do that, my cute little Soul Ancestor? Wouldn't it be better if I tried it instead?"
Ah Li smirked as he tapped his head, causing Qian Renxue to freeze in place.
"*Unamused*... Even a Skull Soul Bone? Seriously? Where do you get these treasures, Li'er?"
"Hahahaha, no need to be so jealous. I guess hard work and living in danger at all times pays off."
"One, I'm not jealous. Two, even people who've done that haven't been so lucky, so don't make excuses."
"I guess they just weren't lucky enough."
"Yeah, cause I guess you took all the luck in the world for yourself."
"Hahahaha, maybe. *Smirking* Anyway, wanna try it, or are you too busy being jealous?"
Rolling her eyes, she guided her Soul Power to Ah Li :"Alright, let's see what you've got then, babe." Shaking at the delicious power that flowed into him, energizing and empowering him, he cracked his neck :"Let's go."
[Martial Soul Fusion
Skull Soul Bone
(3rd Stage) Golden Godly Eye (Mustard Seed Stage of the Modified Purple Demon Eye)]
His eyes widened slightly, turning from crimson to golden as he felt like he could perceive the entire world around him. His Spiritual Power, strengthened by not only by their Martial Soul Fusion, but also his Golden Godly Eye and the Spiritual Overlord Soul Skill of his Skull Soul Bone, which could raise his Spiritual Power by 5 Ranks (50 Levels), was strengthened to the very limits of the mortal real.
And so, observing the entire forest was no problem. Sensing his intense Spiritual Power from so close up, the others' eyes widened in shock. Especially the Titled Douluos, who sensed clearly how Ah Li's Spiritual Power was even stronger than theirs.
'Not that. Not that either. Too weak. Too old. Too young. Oh~...' Seeing an interesting target, he decided to ask for advice, his Spiritual Power letting his perception of time to be faster, making the world slower :"(Sister Goddess, sister Xue, I need to ask you something.)"
Bibi Dong :"(What is it?)"
Qian Renxue :"(Ask away.)"
Ah Li :"(I just spotted the best possible Soul Beast for Xue'er, —sorry if that feels weird by the way, sister Xue— but it's... well, as you can see, 100,000-years-old. Probably the king of this Soul Beast Forest, since it's at the center. Do you think I should help her make it into her Soul Spirit?)"
Bibi Dong :"(Hmm... personally, I would like you to do that, since she's kinda my daughter. But this is way too serious...)"
Qian Renxue :"(I'm with mom on this one. Although I appreciate it that you want to help me, this is way too serious. I mean, this is far too big of a secret for you to reveal it to anybody. If you let her in on it, she'll definitely tell grandpa. And after that, I'm sure he'll try and get you to give that secret to the Martial Soul Hall. You wouldn't want your biggest secret to be revealed, right?)"
Ah Li :"(Actually, I do want this knowledge to be spread around. Well, not exactly this, but a weaker version of this technique.)"
Qian Renxue :"(Wait, what?!)"
Hu Liena :"(Seriously?! I thought of all people would rather take this kind of a technique to your grave than let a single person know about it!)"
Bibi Dong :"(And you want this to be common knowledge? Li'er, what are you planning?)"
Ah Li :"(It's simple. Although I do hunt Soul Beasts for profit, I don't want them to go extinct. I do it because of my circumstances. Actually, I have been planning to let other people know about Soul Spirits for a long time. If this technique becomes common, then Soul Beasts won't be mindlessly slaughtered anymore.
But obviously, I'm not going to let people know the best version of this technique, which I use. I'm not some saint to let people be able to absorb 100,000-year Soul Rings like this. No way, I'm way too greedy for that.
So I was planning on giving away a modified version where instead of being able to bond with Soul Beasts of any age, even ones far older than their limit, they'll only be able to bond with Soul Beasts that their body can handle. You know, like, instead of killing Soul Beasts that their body can handle, they can just bond with them instead.)"
Bibi Dong :"(Hmm... not exactly the best time to have this conversation, but if you do it like that, I don't have any reason to disagree. And how are you going to publish this technique to the masses? Let me guess, after joining the Martial Soul Hall and gaining the right authority?)"
Ah Li :"(Hm, that's right. *Smirking* Also, there's another reason why I want to do this that I'm sure you'll like.)"
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow :"(Oh? And what would that be?)"
Ah Li :"(Spreading this technique will definitely make me more admired in terms of knowledge than Yu Xiaogang.)"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened in realization :"(And that bastard's entire pride and personality revolves around how he's famous because of his knowledge! It's his only achievement! If you take away that...)"
Ah Li smirked :"(I might as well be killing him. Which is exactly why I want to do it. In fact, I want to write a book which will completely replace his. The reason why he acts like the world owes him is because he has always been way too arrogant to live an ordinary life. He has always wanted to stand at the top of the world and be admired. If I take away what little fame he has thanks to his little book, aren't I just giving him one of the worst pains imaginable for someone like him?)"
"(Pfthahahaha!!)" Bibi Dong broke into a fit of laughter :"(Good, good! I have taught you well, Li'er! When torturing someone, just hurting their body isn't enough! You have to break their minds as well! That's a good idea and we should definitely work on it. But about Xue'er, what are you planning to do now? Are you going to give her the perfect version of this technique, or the the one you'll release to the public?)"
Ali smiled :"(Come on, isn't it obvious? Even if she's an alternative version of her, she's still sister Xue. I can't give her some watered down, trash version of this!)"
Qian Renxue smiled :"(I'm glad to hear that, Xiao Li. But be sure to tell her to keep it a secret, alright? Even from grandpa.)"
Ali :"(Of course, sister Xue.)"
Qian Renxue's smile suddenly turned mischievous as she glanced at her mother :"(Also, are you sure it's because of me, and not because you've already taken a liking to your new lover, Xiao Li?)"
He shivered instantly. Even if she was in his Spiritual Sea, he felt the coldness that radiated from Bibi Dong immediately. She truly was an evil goddess. Ah Li basically felt the chill in her voice :"(Li'er, once you've parted away, we need to have a talk. A very serious one.)"
He was so happy she couldn't come outside yet. Even if he had all the strength in the world, angry Bibi Dong was always scary. He gulped nervously :"(U-understood, S-Sister G-Goddess.)"
Hearing the quiet giggling inside coming from the others, especially the blonde beauties, he snarled grumpily to himself. 'Sister Xue just had to get me fucked, didn't she?!' Quietly, he whispered to Qian Renxue :"(It's on, sister Xue. I'll get you for this.)"
She chuckled again, but quickly coughed and quietened down when Bibi Dong shot her a glare. Hu Liena, while covering her mouth, couldn't help but snicker a bit, but shut up as well when Bibi Dong's glare landed on her.
Ah Li :"(A-anyway, so it's agreed that I'll give her the technique as long as she promises to keep it a secret? Obviously, I'll take some precautions with my Skull Soul Bone, but nothing serious.)"
Bibi Dong :"(Haaah, no, no disagreements with me.)"
Qian Renxue :"(None with me.)"
Hu Liena :"(None here either.)"
Water :"(I don't have any reason to refuse.)"
Fire :"(Same here.)"
Skydream :"(As long as boss wants to do something, I'll wholeheartedly support him!)"
Ice Empress :"(This will help the Soul Beasts as well, so if anything, I'm willing to even help you.)"
Nightmare :"(Ice Empress is right. Just ask us for help if you need anything.)"
Smirking to himself, he normalized his perception of time :"(Then let's get Xue'er her first 100,000-year Soul Ring.)"
