Captain Monster?
(E/N : Obviously it's not gonna be Captain MURICA! That was just one of my lame attempt to joke.)
The name was peculiar, carrying an air of mystery and significance. Despite its unconventional nature, it resonated smoothly within the group.
"Hahaha, interesting... in this group of monsters, you are indeed their captain." Grandmaster remarked, sharing a rare moment of laughter.
"Although you are not among the seven of them, others don't know that there will be a Monster Captain leading the Shrek seven in the future!"
With Grandmaster's words, everyone began to realize the subtleties and uniqueness behind the chosen name.
"Okay, I will make a mask for each of you. Remember, in the future, you must speak as little as possible so as not to reveal your identity." Grandmaster advised, took out several masks and distributed them among the group.
Wang Feng, having acquired several masks, reflected the improvement in his disguise skills over the recent years. The masks would serve to conceal their identities as they ventured into the Great Soul Fighting Arena, adding an extra layer of mystery to their characters.
When venturing outside for battles, Wang Feng made it a point to adopt different identities and masks. He had a particular concern about attracting attention due to the unique nature of his humanoid martial soul, especially if it was perceived as being in opposition to the Angel Martial Soul of Soul Hall. Such attention could draw the Soul Hall's scrutiny and he wanted to avoid any unnecessary complications as much as possible. Hence, Wang Feng placed great emphasis on effective disguise.
With time and expertise, Wang Feng could transform Ning Rongrong into a convincing duplicate of Ma Hongjun. While acquaintances might catch on, strangers would likely remain oblivious.
Accompanied by Grandmaster, Dean Flender, Zhao Wuji, Wang Feng and the others arrived at the Great Soul Fighting Arena of Suotuo City, which would be their second training ground. Dressed in varied outfits and adorned with masks, they attracted quite a bit of attention upon their arrival.
At the Great Soul Fighting Arena, the eight of them registered their new combinations and obtained distinct names and codes. Wang Feng's three forms and levels of martial soul allowed him to register for three tokens with different identities, creating a situation no one would anticipate.
Ning Rongrong, standing beside Wang Feng, suggested starting with a individual battle, followed by a team battle with Wang Feng. Xiao Wu also agreed.
As the two pairs proceeded to the team battle area, Grandmaster followed. Assignments were swift and the Qingbao combination of Wang Feng and Ning Rongrong awaited their turn in the thirteenth fighting soul arena, just ahead of the SanWu combination.
Excitement tingled in Ning Rongrong as she contemplated her first participation. Wang Feng reassured her, emphasizing her physical capabilities by referencing the time she carried a 15-kilogram stone and ran ten laps from the college to Suotuo City.
Over the past three months, the group had diligently followed Wang Feng's running practice, significantly improving their load-bearing capabilities. Ning Rongrong, who initially struggled with a five-kilogram load, now can effortlessly ran back and forth with 15 kilograms on her back. In comparison to her previous self, it was a very significant transformation.
In a playful tone, Ning Rongrong expressed her reluctance to join the upcoming battles, claiming her desire to indulge in snacks while watching. Wang Feng, however, rejected the idea, warning her that he might throw her into the fray or even let her engage in solo combat as he watches from the sidelines.
Tang San and Xiao Wu easily secured victory in their game against the cat and mouse look alike combination. Xiao Wu, filled with excitement, encouraged Ning Rongrong and Wang Feng for their upcoming battle.
The next match featured the Qingbao combination against the Yuyan combination, which had already secured seven consecutive wins in the Soul Elder level battles.
The central host introduced the mysterious Yuyan combination and emphasized the anticipation for their duel against the newly formed Qingbao combination.
Xiao Wu expressed curiosity about the Yuyan combination's mysterious nature, noting their masked appearance. She turned to Wang Feng and the master for insights.
Tang San, intrigued by the mysterious aura surrounding the Yuyan combination, found their appearance quite enigmatic. The man in the Yuyan combination wore a blue costume with long black hair and a slender figure and he concealed his face with a dragon mask. Beside him stood a woman with short dark purple hair, turquoise nails and an air of lethality.
Concerned, Tang San inquired with Grandmaster about the identity of these two individuals. Grandmaster, expressed uncertainty about their presence and wished for the safety of Wang Feng and Ning Rongrong.
Upon hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu found themselves taken aback. Grandmaster, usually discerning about their capabilities, had just uttered such words? This hinted at the complexity of the strength possessed by these two individuals.
On the battlefield, a voice rang out. It was the woman from the Yuyan duo, observing Wang Feng and Ning Rongrong stepping forward. A low laugh escaped her, "Tian Heng, do I even need to step in?"
The man gave a slight nod, indicating that it seemed unnecessary for her to intervene. It appeared as if the two newcomers approached the situation with a sense of amusement and ease.
Witnessing this, the woman took a few steps back, opting to let her companion handle the situation. She stood silently behind, merely as an observer.
"Possession!" the man uttered as three soul rings quickly floated around him - yellow, yellow, purple.
Simultaneously, his skin began to reveal azure scales, especially on his arms. Clad in a blue jersey, the scales were almost imperceptible, except for the his arms and palms, adorned with peculiar dragon like claws that conveyed a sense of formidable strength. Blue lightning also seems to be flickering across his dragon like arms, making him look quite intinidating.
Ning Rongrong observed the man and woman opposite her, a growing sense of unease settling in. She couldn't shake the feeling that these two were not to be taken lightly. "Wang Feng, you've got to shield me later!"
It wasn't until the man completed the possession that Ning Rongrong's expression changed once again. "No!" she exclaimed.
Wang Feng, however, shook his head, countering, "Hold on, you've got to face him on your own. I'll also be at the sidelines, watching the duel between you two."
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened at this declaration. "Wang Feng, he's an attack system Soul Elder of over 30 levels! Judging by his soul ring configuration, he's very formidable! Why would you have me face him? I'm a just a supporter!"
She lowered her voice, adding, "And his martial soul appears to be some kind of dragon! A dragon! Even Boss Dai might struggle against him!"
Although her mind swiftly succumbed to the adversary's martial soul an soul power, Ning Rongrong managed to discern a crucial detail, it was that the opponent was someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.
This man belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan and the unexpected appearance of him in the arena slightly puzzled her.
"Why does someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would come here?" Wang Feng inched closer to Ning Rongrong, chuckling in a subdued tone.
"Rongrong, care for a glimpse of some novel techniques?"
"What?" Ning Rongrong gazed at Wang Feng, momentarily caught off guard. Hearing Wang Feng address her as Rongrong for the first time made her heart flutter.
"What new tricks? Regardless, I won't engage in combat with him... It's beyond my capacity to face him."
"Are you familiar with martial arts fusion techniques?" Wang Feng whispered,
"Watch closely as I activate my Golden Lotus form. Utilize your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to slowly merge with my Golden Lotus, that will grant you unparalleled strength."
Martial Soul Fusion!
The mention of these words left Ning Rongrong bewildered.
"But martial soul fusion, even with identical martial soul, may not seamlessly merge! It demands a certain level of compatibility and harmony with each other..."
Ning Rongrong pondered, recalling the teachings of master. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared to lack a harmonious match and can not seamlessly blend with any other martial soul.
Furthermore, the outcome of the martial soul fusion technique wasn't a mere additive effect, it was multiplicative, surpassing the sum of two soul masters.
The essence lay in the mysterious affinity and compatibility. Wang Feng grinned, emphasizing the supreme nature of Chaos Green Lotus. Originating from the chaos, it evolved into everything, making it universally fitting and having compatibility with possibly everything under heaven.
Any form of Chaos Green Lotus, especially the Golden Lotus, can easily harmonize effortlessly with any martial soul.
Although Wang Feng hadn't tested it, he was confident in employing the martial soul fusion.
"Listen to me, just give it a try." Wang Feng's gentle voice urged. Ning Rongrong blushed slightly and hesitantly responded, "Alright, but I have no experience in this... And you can't play around with it."
"Release your martial soul and position your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on top of my Golden Lotus. Then, gaze into my eyes!" Wang Feng instructed solemnly.
Wang Feng had long wanted to experiment with the martial soul fusion technique, and Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was an ideal choice due to its auxiliary nature.
Ning Rongrong gradually illuminated her two soul rings as her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was slowly released.
"Huh? Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda clan?" The man across the way expressed interest in the martial display.
"Unfortunately, she's only a Soul Grandmaster. It seems the man beside her is the primary attacker?"
"She's just over twenty levels... that man has a purple spirit ring? But why does he only lit one up?" The woman appeared disinterested.
"No, why does the primary attacker's martial soul resemble a golden lotus? Is the main attacker a control system, not a weapon or beast attack system soul master?"
The two observers seemed intrigued, watching the unfolding actions of the pair across from them. Meanwhile, Wang Feng showcased the Golden Lotus.
Ning Rongrong delicately maneuvered her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, settling it onto the middle of the Golden Lotus. As their eyes met, a peculiar sensation enveloped her, it felt as though she was not only sitting on the Golden Lotus but also on Wang Feng himself. However, this was purely a product of Ning Rongrong's wild imagination.
Wang Feng, on the other hand, didn't experience the same sensation. He gazed into Ning Rongrong's eyes, perceiving something profound through the moist gaze—perhaps a glimpse into Ning Rongrong's heart.
In an instant, a burst of intense light erupted as the martial soul of both individuals were released simultaneously. The colossal energy fluctuations reverberated through the audience.
"This...this is a martial soul fusion technique!" Grandmaster in the stands exclaimed as suddenly stood up, and looked at the battle stage in astonishment. "Martial soul fusion are highly perilous. If the two martial soul lack compatibility or a certain bond, fusion is nearly impossible! Yet, Xiao Feng and Rongrong has executed martial soul fusion technique?"
"Remarkable, truly rare!" Grandmaster admitted to witnessing the martial soul fusion skill only a handful of times in his life. The rarity of this martial soul fusion technique was likened to finding a lifelong companion—someone to accompany you from elementary school to old age. In the world of soul master, such a perfect match was exceedingly rare and required significant effort to achieve.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Tang San and Xiao Wu echoed, their eyes reflecting equal astonishment.
"This must be Xiao Feng's idea! Only he could be so daring!" Grandmaster's tone wavered slightly.
"His Golden Lotus form provides comprehensive support, encompassing all aspects and Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is also a support. The merging of the two... I truly can't fathom the changes that will occur. It's incredible."
Grandmaster observed the unfolding fusion of the two martial soul. On the Golden Lotus platform, surrounded by lightning, sat a resplendent Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"It's done!"
