Chapter 19 - Harmonization?

"Hm..." Musing under her breath, Qian Renxue's gaze narrowed. "Then, I guess it's about time you tell me how you got 10,000-year-old spirit rings as your first and second spirit rings."

Xuan Yan smiled faintly "Seems like you are very curious, Miss Qian Renxue."

With a nod, Qian Renxue replied "Of course I am, so tell me..."

Keeping his smile, Xuan Yan raised his left hand as a silver energy oozed out of him, coiling around his body.

Huh? What is this energy...

Her gaze quivered as she felt a tug in her martial spirit and her eyes squinted in thought 'My martial spirit is resonating?'

The silverish blue energy surging around Xuan Yan combined to form an enormous phantom of a dragon behind him.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise "Your.. second Martial spirit?"

At the same time, Xuan Yan also felt the pull in his martial spirit as he glanced at Qian Renxue in surprise, 'Huh? What the hell... my martial spirit is resonating with hers? I didn't know....'

Qian Renxue released her Seraphim martial spirit again and both of them felt the resonance between their martial spirits.

Her lips trembled in utter shock. 'Is this what they call Spirit Harmonization?'

Spirit Harmonization is the compatibility rate between the spirit masters that take part in the martial soul fusion skill.

The compatibility rate affects the strength of the skill. In all of history, it would be hard to find more than a handful of people whose fusion rate exceeded eighty percent.

Xuan Yan was also baffled 'My martial spirit has the affinity to form a Spirit Fusion skill with her?'

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill or the Spirit Fusion is the ability of two or more Spirit Masters with similar properties to fuse together and become one entity or combine their martial souls together to form a skill, bringing out explosive power for a short period of time depending on the strength of the Spirit Masters.

There are many people with Spiirt Fusion skills in Douluo Dalu.

Like Da Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing... Hu Liena and Xie Yue... Gui Mei and Yue Quan... Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong and Flender.

After reaching Godhood, even Tang San and Xiao Wu had this Spirit Fusion.

Xuan Yan dispelled his martial spirit and glanced at Qian Renxue who was equally dumbfounded.

Letting out a deep sigh, Qian Renxue retracted her martial spirit "You must have also felt it.. Xuan Yan."

"Seems like we are destined."

Xuan Yan nodded, still reeling in shock "I didn't really expect my second martial spirit to resonate with yours."

Qian Renxue gave a thoughtful nod "We need to check about this later."

"Now, tell me about your rings."

Letting out a sigh, Xuan Yan spoke "It is about my second martial spirit, I recently found out that it has a passive ability to upgrade my spirit rings' age."

Huh? Qian Renxue tilted her head in amazement "This is the first time I am hearing something like that... a passive ability in the martial spirit that increases spirit ring's age."

Her eyes narrowed "Can you control which ring to upgrade and how many years to increase or totally random?"

With a shake of his head, Xuan Yan replied "No, its completely random.. I can't control it now."

Qian Renxue had a thoughtful face, as she still couldn't believe it.

But there is no other way to explain this weird phenomenon and he is just a 6 year old 'So he is a prodigious talent.. with a cheat like this in his hands.'

'My mother has picked a great disciple. I wonder if she also wants him to be the Holy Son.'

'If he became Holy Son, then my position in Spirit Hall...'

However, she shook her head dispelling the thoughts and smiled at Xuan Yan "I see, you indeed have a great martial spirit with you."

Xuan Yan just smiled "Thank you Mis Qian Renxue."

With a shake of her head, Qian Renxue replied "I am sure we will be crossing paths often and you are the disciple of my mother, so you can just call me Sister and I will call you Yan."

Hearing this, Xuan Yan smiled "Yes, Sister Renxue."

Qian Renxue's eyes softened ever so slightly as she nodded "Let's go back to my room..."

...

A bit later, they entered the room and Qian Renxue took some water for him to drink.

Collapsing onto the couch, Qian Renxue let out a weary sigh, brushing a stray strand of her golden hair behind her ear. "It's honestly great to have a sparring partner like this," she said, her voice carrying a hint of relief.

Qian Renxue is mostly secluded inside the Spirit Hall, as her grandfather is overly protective and she has rarely left the Spirit Hall.

So she has never interacted much with her age group of people and now it feels kind of comforting for her to have someone with whom she can talk lightly.

Xuan Yan who was sitting beside her, nodded his head "I also enjoyed the spar, Sister Renxue"

For a moment, silence hung between them, not awkward but a comfortable silence. 

Qian Renxue turned to look at him and asked "By the way, how did you break my second skill?"

Hm? Xuan Yan raised an eyebrow and Qian Renxue continued "You know.... my second spirit skill is powerful because it can't be countered as all attacks pass through the projectile of the Angel behind me."

Xuan Yan remembered her second spirit skill, which forms a phantom of the Angel God behind her and attacks; it really can't be countered and the only way is to dodge that attack.

With a nod, Xuan Yan explained "Maybe because my first spirit ring is of a Phantom Wolf's. You know Phantom wolves are agile and have the power to create phantoms."

"And the skill I derived from that ring is 'Phantom Slash.' So I think that's why my first spirit skill was able to cut through your phantom, Sister Renxue."

"Ohhhh.. that's interesting." Qian Renxue nodded in amusement, as this was the first time she had heard about this.

"Oh and also we need to check our Spirit Harmonization later."

"Yeah..."

...

Standing at the doorstep of her room, Qian Renxue smiled "Come here whenever you have time, Yan... I am always ready for a spar or some chat."

With a soft chuckle, Xuan Yan nodded his head "Yes, Sister Renxue."

As he left, Qian Renxue stared at Xuan Yan's back "It seems like I finally have a friend..."

"Haa..."

....

Xuan Yan quickly returned to Bibi Dong's quarters and the maid who saw him called him "Young Master, do you need something?"

Hm? Turning to her, Xuan Yan shook his head with a smile "No, Aunty.. I am going to rest in my room."

"Alright, young Master."

Xuan Yan soon reached his room and jumped onto the bed, letting his body single in the plushness of the mattress.

"Uhhh.. I am tired after the fight."

...

"Hmm..."

The knocks on the door reached Xuan Yan's ears and his white eyelashes fluttered open and he slowly woke up "Huh? Who?"

"Yan'er..."

Eh? Hearing the voice, Xuan Yan was startled "Teacher?"
