The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 138 Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue

As expected, the Blue Silver Emperor Cocoon indeed transformed into a collection of all the immortal herbs and rare treasures near the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

After devouring these top-tier plants, it is now not only the king of Blue Silver Grass, but the king of all plants.

Who benefits from the transformation of the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon into this state?

Nature is the object of its sacrifice.

If one could obtain a million-year-old Blue Silver Emperor as a sacrifice to acquire a second martial soul plant, then this plant martial soul would be the Plant Emperor, encompassing numerous immortal herbs and rare treasures.

At this moment, the Gengar's origin in the other dimension became restless.

After interacting with the vines reaching out from the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon, Xia Liang sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, his soul consciousness entering another dimension.

In a dark corner of the alternate dimension, there is a huge iron cage formed from extreme dark energy, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that was captured earlier is being imprisoned inside the iron cage.

Tired of screaming for help, and realizing that her life was not in immediate danger, Tianmeng Bingcan simply fell asleep.

The source of the agitation is the Shiny Gengar. According to the news that came back, far away in the ancient forest, Tang Hao has crippled the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King and needs to use spatial attributes to send it into another dimension.

With the Undead attribute activated, Xia Liang used his soul power to connect with the essence of Shiny Gengar, and then activated the Eyebone Space skill through Shiny Gengar.

Under the glare of a Shiny Gengar, the heavily injured Blue Silver King was teleported into another dimension.

Like the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the Blue Silver King was imprisoned in another enormous iron cage formed from extreme dark energy.

With the suppression of the undead attribute, the Blue Silver King can be prevented from igniting his soul and self-destructing.

However, the Blue Silver King possesses powerful vitality and can quickly recover from injuries.

To prevent the Blue Silver King from causing trouble in the other dimension, Xia Liang used the Undead Domain to severely damage the Blue Silver King's soul while the king was still recovering from his injuries. Even if the king recovered from his injuries, his soul would still have various hidden damages and would not be able to function normally.

After dealing with the matter of the Blue Silver King, Tang Hao and the Shiny Gengar, far away in the ancient forest, turned into light and disappeared.

Xia Liang's soul consciousness returned to his body. After letting out a long breath, he did not rush to let the Blue Silver Emperor cocoon devour the 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King. These things could wait until he left the City of Slaughter.

The most urgent task now is to go to the City of Slaughter as soon as possible to train and quickly break through the level 70 bottleneck by devouring undead.

The next day.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

After feeding the Blue Silver Emperor Giant Cocoon with his blood at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xia Liang returned to the academy's kitchen.

After losing a lot of blood, although the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone could heal him, the soul bone skill did not provide nutrients. So every time he finished feeding the Blue Silver Emperor's giant cocoon, Xia Liang would go to the academy's kitchen to find some soul beast meat to make delicious food for himself.

After lunch, he was walking along the road in front of the college when a familiar voice called out to him. "Ah Liang!"

Turning around, a woman with purple hair and blue eyes appeared between the trees on either side. It was Dugu Yan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After her battle with Tang San, Dugu Yan was forced by Tang Sect's hidden weapons. At a critical moment, her Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul finally awakened its dragon bloodline and successfully transformed into a dragon.

As a result, the top-tier Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Poison Dragon Martial Soul, which possesses near-ultimate poison. Dugu Yan herself not only solved the problem of snake venom backlash by transforming into a dragon, but her figure and appearance also underwent some changes.

The Dugu Yan who appeared in Xia Liang's eyes had long eyelashes on her big blue eyes, a very flexible body, an extremely well-proportioned figure, full and round breasts, and a slender waist that swayed like a snake. Although her face showed a hint of anger, it did not diminish her charm in the slightest.

As soon as she ran over, Dugu Yan didn't rush into Xia Liang's arms as usual. Instead, she questioned him with a hint of resentment, "Where have you been these past few days?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Xia Liang looked back at Dugu Yan's angry glare and said, somewhat concealing something, "These past few days I've been following a mercenary group into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my sixth soul ring."

"If you want to obtain a spirit ring, why don't you just ask your grandfather for help? Do you need outsiders to help you?" Dugu Yan stared at Xia Liang with a questioning gaze.

Xia Liang gently pushed Dugu Yan's forehead and complained, "Yan Yan, are you stupid? Grandpa had just finished fighting Tang Hao. Although his injuries had healed, what if the pressure of fighting spirit beasts caused his old injuries to flare up? Grandpa isn't a tool for us to hunt spirit beasts; he needs to rest too."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's resentment instantly turned into embarrassment. That was her own grandfather, yet he had overlooked the fact that she was still recovering from serious injuries and unable to move around easily.

"Did you successfully obtain your sixth spirit ring?" Dugu Yan quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, I'm now a six-ring Soul Emperor." Xia Liang suddenly asked, "Yan Yan, what's your soul power level?"

"Level 52. After absorbing the two soul bones you gave me, my soul power increased from level 45 to level 49. After three months of seclusion, I finally broke through the level 50 bottleneck. The academy also helped me obtain my fifth soul ring. It was only ten days ago that I became a Soul King."

At this point, Dugu Yan sighed dejectedly, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise. I didn't expect you to already be a Soul Emperor. Ah Liang, your cultivation speed is too fast! No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with you."

"Isn't that normal?" Xia Liang said, holding Dugu Yan's hand and gently pulling her into his arms. "My cultivation speed is fast because I always go out to find suitable places for me to cultivate. Yan Yan, I have found another suitable place for me to cultivate, and I probably won't be coming back to the academy for at least a year."

"You're leaving again?" Dugu Yan looked up at Xia Liang from his arms. "No. We haven't spent enough time together. This time you have to listen to me, you're not allowed to leave!"

"Yanyan, think about it. The Elite Tournament is just around the corner. Even though you've been guaranteed a spot in the finals, you still have to practice teamwork with your teammates every day. Even if I stay, will you have time to spend with me?"

Xia Liang said seriously, "Instead of wasting each other's time, why don't we train together after the Elite Tournament? Wherever I go then, I'll take you with me, as long as you're willing, okay?"

After listening to this explanation, Dugu Yan remained silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Just then, a sudden voice rang out from behind, "Brother, what a fine time! I was wondering why you had time to come to the academy today; turns out you're meeting with your wife."

Upon discovering that the visitor was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Dugu Yan immediately sprang out of Xia Liang's arms, her shyness instantly turning into respect as she politely greeted Xue Qinghe, "Brother Xue."

Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded. Although he and Xia Liang had switched generations, it was not made public. So, in the eyes of outsiders, he was still the sworn brother.

"Brother Xue, what are you doing at the academy?" Xia Liang asked.

"I was out investigating local conditions for a while, which put many things at the academy on hold. Now that I have some time, I've come back to take care of them." Saying this, Xue Qinghe looked at Dugu Yan and smiled, "Sister-in-law, I'm truly sorry to interrupt your enjoyment. However, I might need to take up some of your time. Is that alright?"

"Okay. Brother Xue, you two chat. I have to rush to watch the Elite Tournament qualifiers." After replying, Dugu Yan turned and left. Just as she was about to lift her foot, she seemed to remember something, suddenly hugged Xia Liang's neck, kissed him on the cheek, and then ran out of the academy gate.

This action came suddenly, but it was a tacit ritual that the two agreed upon when they parted ways.

Xia Liang gave Xue Qinghe an awkward smile, hoping that what had just happened wouldn't affect their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"Let's go to the palace." After saying that, Xue Qinghe walked past Xia Liang.

night.

Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Inside the Crown Prince's Palace.

After reaching the end of the dark passageway and entering the secret room, Xue Qinghe reverted to her original form as Qian Renxue.

Xia Liang sat naturally on the golden stone bed and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, let's begin. After absorbing the sixth spirit ring, my skeleton spirit has recovered its divine inheritance and should be able to work with your six-winged angel spirit to create a perfect spirit fusion skill."

Qian Renxue glanced at Xia Liang and said, "You should wipe the lipstick mark off your face first. Aren't you ashamed to be kissing and hugging like that in the academy?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Liangcai recalled Dugu Yan's kiss and guiltily wiped the red mark from his face.

"Alright. Can we begin now?" Xia Liang asked again.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before getting into bed. The two sat facing each other, their hands clasped together as usual.

Strangely, the martial spirit auras emanating from the two individuals did not merge with each other this time. Instead, they formed a clear distinction, remaining distinct and not interfering with each other.

The area where Xia Liang was located was rendered in a dark purple color.

Qian Renxue's position was surrounded by a brilliant gold.

Not only was the fusion of martial spirit auras abnormal, but the resonance between their martial spirits also seemed less intense than before.

Xia Liang opened his eyes, looked at Qian Renxue, and asked, "Was it because you couldn't calm down?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's gaze froze on Xia Liang's face. Although the lip print had been wiped clean, Dugu Yan's kiss was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Seemingly resisting their intimacy, Qian Renxue suddenly withdrew her hands from Xia Liang's tightly clasped hands, and the golden aura surrounding her instantly dissipated. The resonance between the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul also vanished.

Xia Liang quickly realized that this situation might really be due to Dugu Yan's intervention, which had created a rift between him and Qian Renxue. Because of the master's unhealthy mindset, a phenomenon similar to a cold war had emerged between the martial souls.

"Xiaoxue, we're brothers, right?" Xia Liang asked.

Qian Renxue no longer dared to look Xia Liang in the eye and nodded faintly.

"Since we're brothers, let's not let anything else affect our friendship. Let's do it again."

As he spoke, Xia Liang grasped Qian Renxue's hands.

The benefits of switching generations became apparent. Although Qian Renxue had some reservations, the other party was her brother, so she felt embarrassed to refuse.

After interlocking their fingers again, the two closed their eyes and entered a meditative state.

With her mind and body relaxed, Qian Renxue stopped thinking about other things. In her calm state of mind, the resonance of her martial spirit finally became stronger.

Xia Liang also sensed the change. His penetrating vision allowed him to clearly see the martial spirit auras they were releasing beginning to merge. Dark purple and brilliant gold light filled the entire secret room, creating a warm and comfortable feeling.

However, the fusion of martial spirit auras did not last long.

Xia Liang discovered that after the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul became the Ultimate Martial Soul, it was fully capable of withstanding the fusion of the Light Angel and Fallen Angel energies within Qian Renxue's body.

However, it seems that the physical contact was not intimate enough, which is not conducive to the union of martial souls.

"Still not working?" Qian Renxue asked. "Last time when you carried me through the air, you clearly completed the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Why can't you use it this time?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Liang opened his eyes in surprise. "Last time? You mean when we left the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Hmm." Qian Renxue responded and opened her eyes, saying thoughtfully, "Didn't you ask me what Grandpa and I were looking at? Actually, Grandpa and I both saw a twelve-winged angel wearing purple armor. That should be the form in which our martial souls have completed their fusion."

"So that's because we haven't had enough physical contact," Xia Liang suddenly suggested. "Xiao Xue, how about we try hugging?"

"But," Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, "aren't you afraid that Dugu Yan will be angry if you do this?"

"Isn't it normal for Soul Masters to hug each other to unleash a Soul Fusion Technique? Besides, we're brothers, and Yan Yan already calls you Brother Xue. What's there to worry about?"

As he spoke, Xia Liang got out of bed.

Qian Renxue looked at him suspiciously, "What are you going down there for?"

"Nonsense." Xia Liang glanced at the golden stone bed and questioned, "Don't tell me you want to embrace and merge with me in bed?"

Upon hearing these words, Qian Renxue felt a surge of heat throughout her body and quickly got off the bed.

A few minutes later.

"Are you ready?" Xia Liang asked, looking at Qian Renxue standing in front of him.

Qian Renxue nodded.

With permission, Xia Liang took Qian Renxue's hand and gently embraced her.

The moment Qian Renxue buried her head in Xia Liang's chest, she felt as if she were overlapping with the figure of Dugu Yan, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

As her sense of guilt grew stronger, Qian Renxue still felt that this was inappropriate and quickly pushed Xia Liang away.

But at this moment, Xia Liang had already closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, carefully sensing the resonance between the martial souls.

Left with no other choice, Qian Renxue could only close her eyes. When she also entered meditation, the resonance between their martial spirits became even more pronounced than when they were holding hands. It was as if their heartbeats began to synchronize, and even their breathing and thoughts reached an astonishing unity.

The dark purple aura of the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul and the brilliant golden aura of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul filled the entire secret chamber, with the two auras both opposing and merging with each other.

Immediately following, influenced by the extreme darkness, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul split off an evil part, causing half of its brilliant golden aura to turn blackish-purple.

At this moment, there are three kinds of martial spirit auras merging in the secret room: the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Spirit representing darkness, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Spirit representing holiness and light, and the Fallen Angel Martial Spirit representing evil.

As the auras of the three martial souls completely merged, Xia Liang and Qian Renxue's heartbeats, brain activity, and even soul fluctuations synchronized. The two, tightly embracing each other, experienced a strange fusion of their bodies, as if they wished they could enter each other's bodies.

The guilt in her heart had long been replaced by the comfort generated by the resonance of her martial soul. Qian Renxue no longer cared about Dugu Yan's presence. She began to reciprocate the embrace, her hands naturally wrapping around Xia Liang's waist.

And so, the two of them became immersed in the fusion of their martial souls.

Because her soul and body were in a state of fusion, Qian Renxue's consciousness was brought into Xia Liang's spiritual world.
