Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

"This is the Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

Yu Tianheng, sitting in the VIP section, was dumbfounded.

Dugu Yan gripped the armrest tightly, her face grim.

"This move has such a wide coverage area, there's absolutely no blind spot! No matter how fast you are, it's useless, the entire arena is covered!"

On the Battle Arena.

Lin Ye reacted the instant the icy vortex descended.

"Big kitty! Come here quickly!"

The vortex was too large and too fast; Zhu Zhuqing's dodges were meaningless in the face of such a comprehensive attack.

Zhu Zhuqing reacted extremely quickly, and in a flash, she arrived beside Lin Ye.

Lin Ye pulled her behind him, and the second purple soul ring under his feet suddenly lit up!

"Second Soul Skill, Guardian of the Evil God!"

A dark purple defensive barrier opened up around the two of them, with evil energy and lightning intertwining to form a hemispherical shield that enveloped them.

The next second, the icy vortex crashed down!

"Boom boom boom boom!"

The sharp, snow-like blades kept striking the barrier, producing a metallic, ear-piercing clanging sound!

With each impact, sparks of blackish-purple and icy-blue hues would erupt from the barrier!

Lin Ye could sense that the evil god was under extremely terrifying pressure.

The power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill far exceeded his expectations!

"So this is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill...?"

His feet were already embedded in the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, as he continuously poured soul power into the barrier.

"Click..."

The first crack appeared on the barrier.

"Lin Ye! Your barrier is cracking!"

Zhu Zhuqing called out urgently from behind him.

"I know." Lin Ye gritted his teeth.

"It's okay, I can manage."

With the Dark Demon God's transformation granting it triple defense, the strength of the evil god's protection far exceeds that of its normal state.

But the opponent's skill is a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which is the product of the superposition and amplification of the soul power of two people.

This is a naked contest of soul power.

It all comes down to who can't hold on any longer!

At this moment, all the spectators outside the Soul Arena were stunned.

"My God... he's taking it head-on despite the Spirit Fusion Technique?!"

"That barrier hasn't broken yet? That's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

"Lin Ye, I'll help you too!"

Zhu Zhuqing peeked out from behind him, placed her hands on his back, and channeled her soul power into Lin Ye's body.

Although her level 36 soul power was a drop in the ocean for this level of consumption, it was better than nothing.

Lin Ye did not refuse, gritted his teeth, and concentrated all his soul power on maintaining the barrier.

Time passed second by second.

Thirty seconds.

One minute.

One and a half.

The cracks on the barrier increased, and the attacks from the ice blades became more and more intense.

But at the same time, the rotation speed of the ice and snow vortex began to slow down visibly!

Lin Ye keenly noticed this.

It seems their soul power is almost depleted!

The energy consumption of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill far exceeds that of a single Martial Soul Skill.

The two of them combined do indeed have a higher total soul power than I do.

However, the energy consumption of fusion techniques should not be underestimated!

"Lin Ye, hold on a little longer! They're about to give up!"

Zhu Zhuqing also noticed this.

This process lasted two minutes.

The snowflakes in the icy vortex began to thin out.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu on the opposite side were already deathly pale.

It continued until two and a half minutes later,

Xuewu's legs began to tremble, and her clasped hands shook slightly.

"Bing'er... I can't... hold on much longer..."

Xuewu's voice was extremely weak.

Shui Bing'er bit her lip, her forehead covered in fine sweat.

Looking at the dark purple barrier opposite her, which was covered in cracks but had never broken, a strong sense of resentment welled up in her heart.

He actually... managed to hold on?

He actually withstood the Martial Soul Fusion Technique?!

Before long, the icy vortex stopped spinning.

The last few ice blades fell limply to the ground, making a soft, cracking sound.

On the Battle Arena, broken ice lay scattered everywhere.

Shui Bing'er gasped for breath, watching Lin Ye slowly lower his hands across from her.

His complexion was also not good, and sweat was sliding down his forehead, but his dark purple eyes remained sharp.

The two sides were locked in a standoff, neither making the first move.

The audience was silent.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.

After a long silence,

"Sigh... we give up..."

Shui Bing'er closed her eyes and uttered these four words with a helpless expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in cheers!

"We won! The Netherworld Evil Tigers have won!"

"He even withstood a spirit fusion skill! Is he even human?!"

"Eighteen-game winning streak! The Ice and Snow Duo's eighteen-game winning streak has been ended!"

"Netherworld Evil Tiger! Netherworld Evil Tiger! Netherworld Evil Tiger!"

The deafening shouts instantly resounded throughout the entire arena.

In the VIP section.

Yu Tianheng slumped back into his chair, his eyes glazed over.

"She lost... Shui Bing'er lost... she even lost her Martial Soul Fusion Technique..."

Dugu Yan gave the figure on the stage a deep look, but said nothing.

The referee stepped forward and announced the final result in a voice that was still trembling.

"The Netherworld Tigers have won this match!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another deafening cheer erupted.

Lin Ye then withdrew the protection of the evil god and dispelled the Dark Demon Evil God Transformation.

The black stripes faded from his face, and his figure returned to normal, but a few beads of sweat remained on his forehead.

The cost of withstanding the Soul Fusion Technique was indeed considerable.

Zhu Zhuqing walked out from behind him, looked at his slightly pale face, and moved her lips.

Lin Ye glanced down at her and smiled:

"Let's go over and say hello."

The two walked forward, and Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu came to meet them.

Xue Wu was so tired that she leaned on Shui Bing'er's shoulder, but her face showed no frustration, only a sense of relief.

Shui Bing'er stopped and looked at Lin Ye.

There was a two-second silence.

"Lin Ye, you are very strong."

She spoke softly, her voice still carrying that cool, aloof tone.

"It's much better than I imagined."

Lin Ye nodded slightly, his expression sincere:

"You're very strong too. To be honest, if your ice seal hadn't encountered my bug-like attribute, any other Soul Master of the same level would have been controlled to death by you."

Shui Bing'er was taken aback.

BUG attribute?

What does this mean?

Although she didn't fully understand, she roughly grasped what Lin Ye meant.

"I didn't expect that even a Spirit Fusion Technique couldn't defeat you in the end." Shui Bing'er glanced at his arm.

"You withstood the full force of the 'Falling Snow' attack for over two minutes, and your soul power is still not depleted. This kind of physique and soul power reserve is beyond what a Soul Master should have."

"You flatter me." Lin Ye shrugged.

"Mainly because of its thick skin."

Xuewu, standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing:

"Lin Ye, you have a really interesting way of speaking."

Zhu Zhuqing stood expressionless beside Lin Ye, her cat-like eyes lowered, revealing no emotion.

Shui Bing'er's gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing for a moment, then she looked at Lin Ye and nodded, saying:

"Zhu Zhuqing's speed and that golden body skill also exceeded my expectations. Although the cooperation between the two of you is simple, it is very effective."

"She was already very strong," Lin Ye said casually.

Zhu Zhuqing's cat-like eyes twitched slightly, and the tips of her ears turned a little red, but her face remained cold.

Shui Bing'er remained silent for a moment.

She lowered her head, seemingly hesitating about something.

Then he raised his head, lowering his voice considerably, so that only Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing could hear him:

"Lin Ye...would you mind having dinner together tonight?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.

Her expression remained unchanged, but her hands, which had been hanging naturally at her sides, unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

Have a meal?

Together?

tonight?

Why invite him to dinner?

Is it necessary to treat someone to a meal after the match?

Don't you have hands? Can't you eat by yourself?

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shui Bing'er's exquisitely beautiful face, then at Lin Ye's profile.

An indescribable emotion suddenly surged up from my chest.

This feeling...

Shui Bing'er seemed to notice Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and quickly added:

"I don't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask some questions about the synergy between Soul Skills. Your partner will be included, of course."

Shui Bing'er's words make sense.

Very reasonable.

But Zhu Zhuqing just felt uncomfortable.

Lin Ye glanced at Shui Bing'er, seemingly about to say something...

"Well……"

Suddenly, a very soft groan came from his side.

Lin Ye looked down and saw that Zhu Zhuqing's figure suddenly swayed and tilted to one side, as if she couldn't stand up.

"Big cat!"

Lin Ye subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Zhu Zhuqing leaned into his arms, a hint of weakness appearing on her cool and beautiful face.

"Big kitty, what's wrong?" Lin Ye looked down at her, his brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were half-closed, and her voice was weak:

"Just now... I used up a lot of energy, and my legs are a little weak."

Lin Ye looked her up and down.

This girl must have expended a lot of energy in the battle just now. She was frozen once and fought with Xue Wu for a long time, so it's understandable that she was tired.

"I'm sorry, Shui Bing'er."

Lin Ye turned to the other side, his tone sincere.

"I'm afraid it won't work tonight. I need to take her home to rest first. Let's do it another day."

Shui Bing'er looked at Zhu Zhuqing nestled in Lin Ye's arms, her icy blue eyes flashing.

"It's okay, another day is fine too." She nodded.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, please... take care."

After saying that, she helped Xuewu turn and leave. After walking a few steps, Xuewu leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Bing'er, that girl was perfectly fine just now, how could she suddenly..."

"Stop talking," Shui Bing'er interrupted her, without stopping.

"oh."

Inside the passageway.

Lin Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing in his arms, and without saying a word, he picked her up in his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened, and then she pretended to be weak and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Let's go back to the hotel first."

Lin Ye carried her and strode out.

Zhu Zhuqing nestled in his arms, her breathing even, but her heart was pounding like a drum.

She couldn't help but purse her lips and smile secretly.

Humph.

What should we eat?

You are not allowed to go.

He doesn't want other women to treat him to dinner.

She then buried her face even deeper, her nose brushing against the warm skin of Lin Ye's neck, smelling a faint, reassuring scent.

...It smells so good.

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes, and the little cat in her heart was rolling around wildly.
