Ling Xiao had never tried combining two martial souls into one, but it was not difficult.
The Landscape Martial Soul’s greatest feature was its all-inclusiveness. Not to mention absorbing and swallowing martial souls, it could also fuse two or more martial souls to produce a new martial soul.
In the past, he hadn’t tried it because he had not had enough martial souls, but now, he would give it a try.
Blood Blade Incomplete Soul plus Shadow Martial Soul would be something truly marvelous.
He closed his eyes, and his soul entered the Landscape Martial Soul.
He then noticed that on the Landscape Map, the characteristics of Blood Blade Martial Soul and Shadow Martial Soul were listed in detail.
Blood Blade Martial Soul—— strengthens weapon-type martial skills’ attacks; makes moves more unpredictable; and summons Blood Blade Ancestor for help;
Shadow Martial Soul——conceals all auras; makes oneself invisible; and manipulates the shadows.
Then, the new martial soul that would be created after these two martial souls were merged was also listed.
The new martial souls possessed all the characteristics of both Blood Blade Martial Soul and Shadow Martial Soul without any conflict at all.
The fusion of these two martial souls was truly spectacular.
Nevertheless, some martial souls’ fusions were not suitable. For instance, Black Bear Martial Soul that focused on physical strength and Shadow Martial Soul were very hard to fuse. Even if they were fused, many characteristics would cancel each other out.
As for what characteristics would be canceled, the Landscape Martial Soul could answer this too, so Ling Xiao didn’t need to worry about it.
“The new martial soul is called Blood Shadow.”
Ling Xiao thought for a bit before naming the new martial soul.
Because Blood Shadow Martial Soul inherited the characteristics of both Shadow Martial Soul and Blood Blade Martial Soul, it was now a complete martial soul. In fact, it was a second stage complete soul, an incorporeal martial soul.
Like this, Ling Xiao now had three complete martial souls.
When eradicating the Dream Pill traffickers, he had also obtained the Thunder God Brave Spirit.
At that time, because of many matters, coupled with the fact that Thunder God Brave Spirit was inconsistent with his techniques, he hadn’t transformed it.
However, it was different now.
Since he now knew that martial spirits could be fused, he wanted to give it a try.
The main characteristic of the Thunder God Martial Soul was its thunder attribute damage and its ability to summon a Thunder God.
It had no conflict with any other martial souls.
Ling Xiao eventually decided to merge Thunder God Martial Soul and Black Bear Martial Soul, creating Thunder Bear Martial Soul.
This martial soul not only had the characteristics of Black Bear Martial Soul, but it also had thunder-attributed damage, greatly increasing its might.
Ghost Ship Incomplete Soul, Giant Sword Incomplete Soul, Thunder Bear Incomplete Soul, Blood Shadow Martial Soul (Incorporeal), Black Cloud Martial Soul (Transparent), Cherry Tree Martial Soul (Transparent), and the Landscape Martial Soul (unknown) were all the martial souls Ling Xiao possessed at the moment.
However, he stopped after this. According to the analysis of his Landscape Martial Soul, fusing the other martial souls would not have good results.
Either many characteristics would be lost, or the souls simply couldn’t be fused.
Although fusing martial souls would upgrade a martial soul’s functions, it was not necessarily a good thing if they were all fused.
Ling Xiao needed lots of different souls to optimally adapt to every situation. Furthermore, he now had three complete martial souls, so there was no need to rush.
Moreover, a martial soul with too many characteristics could ruin its functionality.
Generally speaking, merging three martial souls into one martial soul was optimal. One more and it would be wasteful, running counter to one’s desire.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
After the fusion of his martial souls, although his cultivation base had not improved, his combat power had increased a lot.
If he encountered the invisible assassin now, he would be able to deal with him more easily.
Eh?
Just when Ling Xiao got up, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill.
It seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, making his blood freeze.
He looked at where this gaze had originated from.
His complexion became very unsightly.
In the midst of the Blue-Eyed Race was a roughly 40-year-old middle-aged man. He wore a black robe and was like an unsheathed blade. Just standing there, he brought a huge pressure.
Naturally, this was not what made Ling Xiao’s complexion unsightly.
After all, his soul power was powerful, so another party’s pressure from miles away wouldn’t make him afraid.
The reason his complexion changed was Landscape Martial Soul’s analysis: this person was stronger than White Cloud Great Master!
The Transcendent Realm!
He was the third Transcendent Realm martial artist Ling Xiao had seen.
First was the blue-robed woman, second was White Cloud Great Master, and the third was this person.
The black-robed man sneered at Ling Xiao’s side as if he were watching corpses. There was no hint of emotion on his face.
At this moment, Blue-Eyed Race’s Peak Rank Nine Martial Master unexpectedly gave the order to retreat.
The defending troops of Hollow Cloud City victoriously prepared to chase their fleeing enemies.
Lin Ze also stood up, about to order his troops to rout the enemy.
“Commander Lin, order everyone to withdraw and make a defensive formation!”
Ling Xiao shouted.
No one understood why Ling Xiao was behaving this way.
Lin Ze hesitated but out of his trust in Ling Xiao, he switched the offensive drums into the gongs signifying a retreat.
The gongs resounded.
Regardless of their feelings, all soldiers had to withdraw.
The defending troops retreated, forming a new defense line on the Protective Wall Mountain.
“Ling Xiao, what is going on? Missing such a good chance, this commander can’t explain it to the soldiers.”
Although Lin Ze had done what Ling Xiao had said, he didn’t understand the reason.
Ling Xiao didn’t answer, only pointing towards that black-robed man.
Aowu~~
At this moment, a howl that seemed to come from the hell echoed throughout the battlefield, and all the martial artists defending the city shuddered.
Ling Ze didn’t ask anymore; he knew that something terrifying was coming.
At that wolf’s howl, even peak rank nine demonic beasts shuddered, not to mention other demonic beasts.
Peak Rank Nine martial artist defenders felt their auras and true essence turn unstable. Some of them felt like vomiting blood.
Bang, bang, bang…
A series of sounds resounded.
Martial artists below the Martial Master realm stiffened and helplessly fell to the ground. Those with lower cultivation bases were in even more tragic states.
Fortunately, because of Ling Xiao’s warning, they hadn’t rushed out, so they were able to avoid severe injuries relying on the protective auras of Rank Nine experts.
If they had rushed over, they might have bled from all seven orifices and bled to death.
“That’s a fierce beast!”
Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and managed to reveal.
“A fierce beast? A demonic beast that is rumored to have broken through the limits of peak rank nine and is equivalent to a human transcendent martial artist?”
Lin Ze grimaced. “Brother Qi, are you sure?”
“I’m sure. If your side doesn’t have any transcendent martial artists, no one can save Hollow Cloud City.”
Qi Yuan’s complexion became very unsightly.
He knew well about the terror of a fierce beast. Even some transcendent martial artists would retreat upon hearing of the presence of a fierce beast.
There were no powerhouses of such a level here.
“Senior Apprentice Brother, quickly go and invite Teacher!”
Lin Ze looked at White Cloud Temple Master at one side and anxiously said: “This concerns the lives of tens of millions of people in Hollow Cloud City.”
White Cloud Temple Master sighed and said, “Teacher can’t be ignorant of this. If he wants to come, he will come. If he doesn’t want to come, no one can change his mind.”
