Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 70 The Wrath of the God of Life

"Xiao Quan, you're amazing! You actually managed to create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Lingling. Isn't this a chance from heaven? Why don't you seize it?" Dugu Yan said to Shi Quan with a grin.

"Sister Yanzi, please stop teasing me." Shi Quan looked down at Ye Lingling in his arms, a hint of heartache in his eyes.

During the process of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, he also understood why Ye Lingling had been unable to achieve anything despite following his cultivation method.

"I'm telling you, I'm serious. You should know how low the probability of a Spirit Fusion Skill appearing is. If the fact that you two have a Spirit Fusion Skill isn't a blessing from heaven, then what is it?"

Shi Quan ignored Dugu Yan and changed the subject, saying, "Sister Yanzi, do you know about Lingling's family situation?"

"We don't know anything about Lingling's family situation either; she's never told us anything about her family." Dugu Yan shook her head. "Why are you asking about this?"

"I was just asking."

"You said you weren't interested in Lingling, but now you're already asking about her family." Dugu Yan looked like she knew everything.

"..." Shi Quan was speechless for a moment, then said helplessly, "I had other reasons, but never mind, I can't explain it to you right now. Let's go back first. I just want to get a good night's sleep. I'm so tired."

Back in the dormitory, after Shi Quan and Dugu Yan put Ye Lingling on the bed, Shi Quan went back to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

It wasn't until late at night that Shi Quan finally woke up, and the throbbing pain in his head and the fatigue finally disappeared.

Everyone except Ye Lingling was resting in the lobby on the first floor. Hearing the commotion upstairs, everyone's eyes immediately turned to them.

"Xiao Quan, you're awake! Come downstairs quickly, we've saved some food for you." Dugu Yan greeted Shi Quan warmly upstairs.

"They're here."

Shi Quan went downstairs, quickly heated up the food, and began to eat heartily.

"Xiao Quan, you don't know that your and Lingling's Martial Soul Fusion Technique lasted for more than two hours before those remnants slowly disappeared."

"It's lasted this long?"

Yu Feng quickly said, "That's right. Before the remnants disappeared, Teacher Qin even went in to try it out. He said that your two martial soul fusion skills seem to be able to absorb the life force and soul power of all targets within the attack range. Those flowers, plants and trees died directly because of the special ability of your soul skill."

"It can attack indiscriminately within a 30-meter range and absorb life force and soul power. Tsk tsk tsk, it's domineering in two words."

Listening to the lively discussion among the group, Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Actually, this Martial Soul Fusion Skill is only astonishing in appearance as you all say; it's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be."

Qin Ming then asked, "Xiao Quan, what did you mean when you said before that your soul skill doesn't belong to the category of offensive soul skills?"

"From my perception, this soul skill is to devour and absorb the soul power and life force within a 30-meter radius, and use it to nourish itself. It can help us restore our soul power and heal our injuries. As for whether it can help others recover, we'll have to try it out."

"So that's how it is." Qin Ming then showed a look of sudden realization. "No wonder when I first came into contact with you, I felt that my life force and soul power were being attracted by your soul skills."

"So, according to you, the focus of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill should be on recovery, right?"

"It should be." Shi Quan nodded.

Qin Ming solemnly reminded them, "Although the focus is on recovery, from what I sense, the absorption effect of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is quite strong. I'm afraid even a Soul Master wouldn't be able to resist it. If someone of the same level were absorbed like that, they would instantly lose their combat power. Soul power is relatively easy to recover, but life force is a bit frightening. It's not easy to recover, and if you're not careful, it can easily lead to death. You must practice this Martial Soul Fusion Skill diligently."

"Don't worry, Teacher Qin."

"What's the name of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

"I plan to discuss this after Lingling wakes up."

"Alright, after all, it's a matter between the two of you." Qin Ming nodded and smiled, "You two are quite lucky to have accidentally discovered the Spirit Fusion Skill. This can be considered a trump card for our Heaven Dou Team. Remember not to leak it out. With this Spirit Fusion Skill, our Heaven Dou Team has a chance to win the championship in this year's All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament."

When the champion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament was mentioned, everyone's expressions showed some excitement.

The biggest drain on mental energy during the first Martial Soul Fusion Skill is mental strength. Even Shi Quan, who possesses a Spirit Soul Martial Soul, felt exhausted, let alone Ye Lingling.

Silent all night.

Ye Lingling didn't wake up from her coma until the morning of the next day. She clearly didn't know what had happened the day before. Her memory was still of a sudden, intense feeling of weakness, and then she lost consciousness.

When Ye Lingling woke up, everyone having breakfast in the lobby on the first floor started talking at once about what happened yesterday, especially Dugu Yan, who was particularly enthusiastic.

Ye Lingling then realized that everything that had happened yesterday was actually a fusion technique of the two martial souls.

When Ye Lingling saw the desolate scene on the training ground, she couldn't help but ask in a daze, "Was this really caused by me and Xiao Quan?"

"That's right." Dugu Yan, linking her arm with Ye Lingling's, said, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated? Didn't you feel anything at all yesterday?"

"No." Ye Lingling shook her head.

Ye Lingling didn't feel anything because Shi Quan was in control of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the first time she used it, she lost consciousness, so she didn't feel anything.

Shi Quan said, "Lingling, you are already familiar with the abilities of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill. This Martial Soul Fusion Skill needs a name. Yesterday's accident caused you to fall into a coma, so you can decide on the name of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"What happened yesterday was just an accident, and you were only trying to help me. Since we achieved this Martial Soul Fusion Skill together, let's decide together." Ye Lingling looked at Shi Quan with empty eyes, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Alright." Shi Quan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "This is a fusion skill of our two martial souls. I originally wanted to add the characteristics of our two martial souls into it, but I found that the characteristics of the Blue Silver King and the Nine Heart Begonia martial souls are not very suitable when combined."

Ye Lingling said, "We don't necessarily have to add all our martial souls to a martial soul fusion skill. We can decide based on the abilities and functions of the soul skills."

Shi Quan touched his nose and said, "I've thought about it too. I thought our Martial Soul Fusion Skill is based on the life attribute, and I came up with a few names based on life, such as Life Punishment and Life Deprivation, but I didn't feel that they were quite right. Then I thought about it again and I think the names Life Goddess's Wrath and Life Goddess's Punishment are quite suitable."

"Goddess of Life?" Ye Lingling murmured, thinking that Shi Quan was alluding to her. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "Let's just call her the Wrath of the Goddess of Life. Goddess is too deliberate."

"The wrath of the god of life?" Shi Quan nodded. "That's a good name. Let's go with that."

"Goddess?" Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "Xiao Quan, are you praising Lingling for being beautiful?"

Shi Quan's face darkened, and he said speechlessly, "That's not what I meant..."

Dugu Yan then asked, "So you mean Lingling isn't pretty?"

"No, no, no," Shi Quan quickly waved his hand.

The people present exchanged smiles, and even the most clueless among them realized that Dugu Yan seemed to be trying to bring the two together.

Yu Tianheng chimed in, "Xiao Quan, now that you and Lingling have discovered the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, you two should learn more about it and communicate with each other. Teacher Qin also said that you should practice more so that you don't faint every time you use it and accidentally hurt us."

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone echoed her sentiments, except for Ning Rongrong, who stood to the side biting her lip, her fists clenched tightly, lost in thought.

Shi Quan and Ye Lingling exchanged a helpless glance. Originally, there was nothing between them, but now, because of the crowd's commotion, their eye contact suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

Shi Quan coughed lightly and said, "The consumption of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is greatest only the first time it is used. After that, it won't be as high. If you were to faint every time you used a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, wouldn't that be a suicide skill? At most, the consumption will be a bit high, but it's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be."

"Even if she doesn't faint, Xiao Quan, you still have to protect Lingling. After all, you're stronger than Lingling now," Dugu Yan said with a look of disappointment.

"Sister Yanzi, you should go and do your work. I know how to handle these things myself." Shi Quan quickly pushed Dugu Yanzi towards Yu Tianheng. If she continued talking, Shi Quan would be so embarrassed that he would dig holes in his toes.

"You all go and do your own things."

Yu Tianheng replied, "Yes, yes, we'll leave and won't disturb your time alone."

"..." Shi Quan was speechless for a moment. After everyone left, Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, don't listen to their nonsense," Shi Quan quickly explained.

"It's nothing." Ye Lingling shook her head gently, her eyes returning to their previous emptiness.

"That's not what I meant, no, no, what I meant was..."

Shi Quan's face flushed red. He realized that in this situation, it seemed that nothing he said would be right.

Seeing Shi Quan's embarrassed appearance, Ye Lingling couldn't help but reveal a barely perceptible smile beneath her veil, and said, "I understand, you don't need to explain."

"Okay." Shi Quan awkwardly scratched his head, choosing to skip the topic, and said, "By the way, Lingling, I already know the reason for your cultivation problem. If you want to solve this problem, you may have to rely on yourself."

"What's the problem? Just tell me..."
