Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 37 The Second Martial Soul

Mu Xi's flames exploded in the air, sparks flying everywhere, creating a strange resonance with the ice surface that Gu Yue had previously laid out. The mist generated by the interplay of ice and fire instantly enveloped the battlefield, and the golden pupils of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear flickered in the steam.

"Now!" Gu Yue suddenly clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his ice-blue and fire-red soul power intertwining like two dragons.

The scattered ice shards and sparks suddenly swirled back, forming a swirling storm of ice and fire around the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Under the alternating impact of extreme cold and intense heat, cracks finally appeared on its dark gold fur.

Mu Xi's Radiant Sun Martial Soul deals very high single-target damage, especially considering she's a three-ring Soul Master. Combined with Gu Yue's elemental attacks, they did manage to limit the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to some extent.

This didn't stop there. Gu Yue continued to wave her hands in the air, creating a cyan tornado that was rapidly taking shape, with ice spikes constantly merging into it.

The relentless elemental attacks continued to swarm the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, though their power wasn't great. They were like flies, constantly harassing it, yet there was little that could be done about it.

While Gu Yue distracted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Tang Wulin once again closed in. Strange patterns appeared on his golden dragon claws, and five golden rays solidified at his fingertips. He leaped into the air, stepping on the protruding rock pillars created by the King's Golden Seal Bone Dragon Claw. His golden figure drew a crescent arc in the air as he viciously clawed down at the wounded area on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's neck.

"Roar—!" The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared in pain and fury. Just as it was about to turn around and tear this audacious human apart, it discovered that its limbs had been wrapped in Blue Silver Grass at some point.

After his attack, Tang Wulin also distanced himself and retreated to a short distance away.

"Lend me a hammer," Lin Ci shouted directly at Tang Wulin.

Although Tang Wulin was unsure, he still decisively took advantage of a lull in the battle and threw a thousand-refined silver hammer out from mid-air.

Lin Ci caught it steadily, then adjusted the weight of the hammer, saying, "Almost there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he skillfully picked up the hammer and charged towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Lin Ci leaped high into the air and swung his hammer, while the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear instinctively met it with a claw. In a head-on collision, Lin Ci would definitely be no match.

But Lin Ci wasn't the only one who attacked; Tang Wulin was also there. The latter also raised another thousand-refined silver hammer, bringing it close to him.

The two players flanked each other, one in front and one behind!

But at that very moment, a dark golden light shone in the eyes of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

It stomped hard on the ground, and its massive claws flashed three dark golden claw marks in mid-air, almost tearing the entire sky apart.

The force was so great that dust flew everywhere, making it almost impossible to see what was inside. The only thing visible was a dark golden light.

The last thing they saw was that the two thousand-refined silver hammers were completely torn apart by the dark gold dinosaur claws!

Therefore, Lin Ci and Tang Wulin are undoubtedly the primary targets of the attack. However, their specific situation is currently unknown.

"asshole!"

Gu Yue's pupils suddenly contracted in the distance, and a purple light flashed in her eyes. But as if remembering that this was only the Spirit Ascension Platform, she quickly suppressed her anger.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi exchanged a glance.

"Are you really coming?" Zhang Yangzi asked.

Wang Jinxi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, "Come on!"

"Soul Fusion Skill!"

They immediately grasped each other's hands, their breaths mingling.

Dark Eagle Dragon!

A surge of dark energy rose between the two. But a strange thing happened. Wang Jinxi's aura intensified, but Zhang Yangzi's aura, which had already merged with Wang's, suddenly became somewhat incongruous. Both of them groaned simultaneously and quickly retreated.

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi's faces turned pale. They had always known that their own martial souls were not the most outstanding, but it was the existence of the martial soul fusion skill that made them true geniuses, and even potential future powerhouses renowned throughout the continent.

Back during the promotion tournament, they had successfully completed a Spirit Fusion Technique, albeit incompletely, which still resulted in a significant boost. However, just now, their Spirit Fusion Technique failed.

"How is this possible?" Zhang Yangzi was clearly incredulous, and he immediately moved closer to Wang Jinxi.

"One more time."

Wang Jinxi exchanged a glance with him and nodded.

Zhang Yangzi unfurled a pair of eagle wings on his back, his soul power increased, and he opened his arms, this time directly embracing Wang Jinxi.

Wang Jinxi was in the same situation, and the two bodies collided directly.

A deep dragon roar emanated from Wang Jinxi. The instant Zhang Yangzi's Dark Demon Eagle Martial Soul was about to merge with his Bone Dragon King Martial Soul, they both felt a strong sense of rejection emanating from Wang Jinxi, as if he looked down on Zhang Yangzi's Dark Demon Eagle and forcefully pushed his Martial Soul away.

Zhang Yangzi stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud. Feeling an unprecedented sense of rejection, he suddenly roared angrily at Wang Jinxi, "What do you mean by this? Why won't you merge with me?"

Wang Jinxi also looked bewildered and pained. His face grew increasingly pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. "I...I don't know either, how could this be?"

……

"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws are incredibly powerful, should we...?"

The staff member looked at Wu Changkong and asked.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly, staring intently at the screen. However, what worried him was not Lin Ci and Tang Wulin, but Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, whose martial soul fusion skill had failed.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Logically, as their soul power increases, their soul fusion skill should become more and more reliable. But now it's even worse than before, which definitely means there's a big problem somewhere.

Not far from him, the red-haired woman simply withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Lin Ci inside the instrument next to her.

She appeared calm, but her two hands beneath her were repeatedly stroking the jade ring she wore.

They're just as troublesome as anyone else.

Inside the Ascension Platform.

Zhang Yangzi sat on the ground, still panting heavily, his anger undiminished. "How could we not even be able to use a Spirit Fusion Technique? Something must be wrong!"

As he spoke, he struggled to his feet and looked at Wang Jinxi again.

"Don't let me down at this crucial moment!" Wang Jinxi's eyes were full of hatred as he endured his physical discomfort and hugged Zhang Yangzi again.

As the soul power slowly merged, that familiar dark aura reappeared. However, at the crucial moment when the martial souls were about to fuse, that sense of repulsion returned once more.

"boom!"

The sound of colliding energy separated the two instantly, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Both of them were momentarily stunned; their Martial Soul Fusion Technique had failed again!

Without a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, what can be done in this situation? The dust and mist make it impossible to see Lin Ci and Tang Wulin's condition clearly. They are currently unable to help.

But just as the two looked at the location of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear again, they both felt an unusually different power.

It also possessed a profound sense of power, but it was definitely not the kind of aura produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It was a completely different kind of aura.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, the figures there were fully revealed.

Tang Wulin sat on the ground, his clothes somewhat torn, looking rather disheveled. However, he was not injured at all.

Not far in front of him, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had fallen to the ground at some point. The boy was holding a special giant hammer and smashed it hard on the head of the beast.

That wasn't the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer...
