Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun weren't far apart to begin with.
Adding to this, Zhu Zhuyun was a Soul Ancestor with a agility-focused attack style. In the blink of an eye, the two embraced each other.
Instantly, a burst of light erupted, enveloping Zhu Zhuyun and Davis.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Martial Soul Fusion Skills were exceedingly rare. Among the many soul masters on the continent, many might never find another person with whom they could perform such a fusion in their lifetime.
Yet in this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, there have already been several appearances of Martial Soul Fusion Skills!
Hu Liena and Xie Yue's Charam Demon.
Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's Drifting Snow.
And now, Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun's Hell White Tiger!
One could say that this year's tickets were worth every penny, opening everyone's eyes to new wonders!
"Roar~"
Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun vanished, and in their place appeared a large white tiger.
The white tiger had some black stripes on its body.
It was the Hell White Tiger!
Or rather, an incomplete fragment of the Holy King.
It was missing a pair of wings and a vertical eye.
With a roar, it boosted their team's morale. Facts proved that this was effective.
To the people of the Star Luo Empire, the Hell White Tiger was almost a "god-like" existence.
They had been thoroughly intimidated by successive generations of the Hell White Tiger!
"Big Sis, this tiger is a bit terrifying!"
Yu Feng who could fly wasn't far from Dugu Yan.
At this moment, seeing the massive Hell White Tiger, he couldn't help but shiver.
If they got hit by that, it would be like being struck by a dump truck, wouldn't it? Just thinking about it was terrifying!
Yu Tianheng wanted to take on the Hell White Tiger, but to be on the safe side...
"Yanzi..."
"Hmph, I'll handle this big cat. The rest of them are up to you!"
Dugu Yan snorted coldly as she spoke.
"Got it, Yanzi!"
"No problem, Yanzi!"
With Dugu Yan dealing with the Hell White Tiger, it was essentially six against five!
Even if their average soul power level was a bit lower, they had the advantage in martial souls.
As long as Ye Lingling didn't fall, this battle would be a foregone conclusion.
"Yanzi, be careful. If you can't handle it..."
"Me, lose?"
"Uh, no, of course not!"
"Hmph."
After her martial soul possessed her, Dugu Yan felt a surge of pride and arrogance.
Especially with Neuvillette standing nearby, she had a very strong desire to show off!
"Attack!"
Without any hesitation, Dugu Yan, who had shifted from being a control-type soul master to an assault-type soul master, charged straight at the Hell White Tiger.
During this process, the water elements around her were exceptionally active, ready to coalesce into water and launch attacks at any moment.
Seeing Dugu Yan charging alone, the Hell White Tiger was momentarily stunned but then charged forward just as fiercely.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
Facing the Hell White Tiger head-on would be a decision Dugu Yan would regret for the rest of her life!
The other team members were not idle either; they also engaged in battle, instinctively avoiding the "battlefield" between Dugu Yan and the Hell White Tiger.
Dragon claws and tiger claws collided with a loud "bang," and something surprising and unexpected happened!
The seven-meter-long body of the Hell White Tiger was actually sent flying!
"Impossible!"
"My god, how is this possible?"
Such immense strength, could it really be a water dragon?
If you said it was a golden dragon, we'd believe it!
The most stunned were Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun; they were completely dumbfounded!
What kind of terrifying existence was this?
They knew that their martial soul fusion skill could contend not only with a Soul King but even with a Soul Emperor!
Yet, Dugu Yan casually swiped a claw, not even using a soul skill, and the power was so terrifying?
It defied all logic...
"Impossible, I don't believe it!"
Dai Weisi gritted his teeth and charged at Dugu Yan again. The previous strike had caused them some minor injuries, but it wasn't a big problem.
"Just as I thought."
Initially, Dugu Yan had considered the Hell White Tiger to be quite formidable, but to her surprise, it was as fragile as paper, breaking upon contact.
That previous strike, she had held back and hadn't used her full strength.
"Lord Neuvillette, I will never forget your kindness!"
All of this was brought to her and her grandfather by Neuvillette. She had always been someone who clearly distinguished between love and hate, and coupled with the innate influence of the Water Dragon Lizard, her feelings were completely understandable.
In Liyue, there are only two kinds of people: those who are fans of the Geo Archon and those who are obsessed with him in a twisted way.
Among the Water Dragons, they were all twisted fans of Neuvillette!
For Neuvillette, they would even change their appearance to become what he liked.
How proud is the dragon race? To go to such lengths for Neuvillette, how twisted must they be?!
Seeing the Hell White Tiger charging at her like a mad beast, Dugu Yan felt a strong desire to show off.
A water dragon using physical strength to defeat an opponent? That's nothing special.
"Big cat, watch this!"
As she said this, the first soul ring on Dugu Yan's body lit up.
"First Soul Skill: Dragon Breath!"
As the first soul skill activated, the water elements around Dugu Yan came into play, rapidly converging towards her mouth.
Behind her, a five to six meter tall phantom of a young Water Dragon appeared.
It seemed extremely angry, roaring towards the sky, and as Dugu Yan unleashed her first soul skill, its actions were almost perfectly synchronized with hers.
A rapidly spinning stream of water shot out from Dugu Yan's mouth, aimed directly at the nearby Netherworld White Tiger.
"!!!"
"???"
The audience was dumbfounded, their jaws practically hitting the floor.
The "special effects" were truly awe-inspiring.
Especially with that "water dragon"—when it synchronized its actions with Dugu Yan, it looked as if the stream of water was coming from its mouth.
Actually, the audience's guess wasn't wrong.
However, because Dugu Yan hadn't yet reached level seventy and couldn't fully manifest her Martial Soul True Body, the dragon was just a phantom assisting her.
When she reaches level seventy and can unleash her Martial Soul True Body, the effects of her soul skills will be completely different!
The Martial Soul True Body will be a major turning point.
Remember, this is no ordinary martial soul; it's the Water Dragon, a dependent of Neuvillette!
As long as Dugu Yan's soul power keeps up and she reaches the Soul Saint level, when she activates her Martial Soul True Body, she'll possess combat power equivalent to a Title Douluo!
Of course, such immense power doesn't come without limits. Her body must be able to withstand the Water Dragon's manifestation!
If it weren't for the fact that she and her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had physiques too weak to bear the presence of an adult Dragon, let alone stronger ones...
If they could host the descent of an adult Dragon, they would ascend to unimaginable heights instantly!
