Martial Soul Fusion Skill — Eternal Night Dawn
Su Yunlin and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had finally been completed. That figure, as beautiful as a star-filled sky, slowly gathered Spirit Power with both hands. In the end, an overwhelming surge of power condensed within its palms.
"Go!"
The starry figure spoke with a noble voice, impossible to distinguish as male or female.
In an instant, the Shrek team members scattered apart. On the other side, Xu Jiujiu had already used her Martial Soul to isolate the icy mist. But in the very next moment, the seven members of the Star Luo Royal Academy saw a black-golden radiance streaking toward them like the clash of daylight and eternal night.
BOOM—
"Not good!"
Heavenfiend Douluo Huang Jinxu shouted in alarm and immediately stepped in front of the Star Luo Royal Academy team. His Martial Soul erupted forth — Heavenfiend Lone Star!
Two yellow, two purple, and five black Spirit Rings rose around him, nine rings in total!
Using one hand at first, Heavenfiend Douluo tried to block the incoming light. Yet only moments later, he was forced to use both hands.
"AHHH—BREAK!"
Huang Jinxu explosively unleashed his Spirit Power and forcibly dispersed the black-golden radiance.
"Huff… What a terrifying Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
He let out a long breath, shock flashing through his eyes. He had never expected that even a Titled Douluo like himself would need to face this attack seriously.
The moment the referee intervened, it already meant the Star Luo Royal Academy could no longer withstand the attack.
This team battle… they had lost.
"Cough, cough… Team battle, Shrek Academy wins!"
"What?!"
The Star Luo Royal Academy members were utterly stunned by the announcement.
"How is this possible? Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill should've been an elemental attack. My Star Guardian should have been able to block it!"
Xu Jiujiu was clearly unwilling to accept the result. Her fourth Spirit Ability, Star Guardian, was an extremely powerful defensive Spirit Ability capable of isolating elemental attributes.
"Your Highness, your fourth Spirit Ability could not have stopped that attack," Huang Jinxu said gravely.
Xu Jiujiu fell silent afterward. Since even a Titled Douluo referee had stepped in personally, it meant their defeat in the team battle was unquestionable.
"Hmph! Next time, I'll win it back!"
After saying that, Xu Jiujiu leapt down from the tournament stage.
At the same time, the starry figure gradually dispersed. Su Yunlin and Wang Dong descended hand in hand.
Huang Jinxu walked over to Su Yunlin.
"May I know the name of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Su Yunlin smiled faintly.
"Eternal Night Dawn."
"Eternal Night Dawn… A fittingly excellent name."
The team battle ended with Shrek Academy's victory!
None of the spectators present had expected Shrek Academy to win in such a manner. Even a Titled Douluo-level referee had been forced to act personally.
Just how powerful was that Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
The Shrek Academy team walked off the stage. Victory had been decided in a single move. Although they had exposed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, at the very least they had not revealed anything else.
Besides, even if Eternal Night Dawn had been exposed, so what?
Did people really think Eternal Night Dawn was merely a stationary cannon attack?
The fusion skill manifested as a humanoid figure.
And what did that represent?
It meant it could move.
Much like the Hell White Tiger, which transformed into a gigantic white tiger capable of rampaging freely across the battlefield.
Eternal Night Dawn could do the same.
Moreover, Eternal Night Dawn possessed an even more interesting characteristic — one that even that legendary couple from thousands of years ago had never possessed.
A feature unique only to Su Yunlin and Wang Dong.
The group soon returned to the hotel.
Su Yunlin looked toward Ma Xiaotao and frowned slightly.
"Senior Sister Xiaotao, is the evil fire within your body starting to intensify again? I can feel the sinister aura around you growing stronger."
"Hm? It does feel a little worse. I'm starting to feel overheated again. Little Yuhao, you'll have to help your big sister later."
Ma Xiaotao directly grabbed Huo Yuhao and teased him openly.
As expected, Huo Yuhao's face instantly turned red.
"O-Okay, Sister Xiaotao."
Su Yunlin stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I'm actually curious whether I can control the evil aura inside your body. I keep feeling like I should be able to."
"Huh?"
Ma Xiaotao looked stunned.
The evil fire within her body was something attached to her Martial Soul itself. That could actually be controlled?
Su Yunlin continued, "But I'm not completely sure. Huo Yuhao should stay nearby just in case. If I accidentally trigger your evil fire, he can help suppress it."
"Fine, let's try it. If you really can solve my evil fire problem, then this old— cough cough, this senior sister will do whatever you say in the future!"
"Hiss—"
Before Su Yunlin could respond, a hand suddenly grabbed his ear.
Wang Dong gritted her teeth.
"So your true nature is finally showing?"
"Not at all! I just want to test something. Stay with me later, and help cover my eyes too."
Su Yunlin had not expected Wang Dong's jealousy to be this intense.
...
Inside Ma Xiaotao's room—
Su Yunlin, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao were all prepared.
Ma Xiaotao's evil fire had always been like a ticking time bomb. Right now, with Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice present, it could at least be temporarily stabilized and controlled. But that was ultimately not a long-term solution.
Wang Dong covered Su Yunlin's eyes with her hand. Since she was a girl herself, there naturally wasn't any issue.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao, who was waiting nearby, also had his eyes covered to prevent him from seeing anything inappropriate.
"I'm starting now!"
Su Yunlin summoned his second Martial Soul — the Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe.
Dark, sinister light burst forth from the scythe as a strand of evil aura shot directly into Ma Xiaotao's delicate body.
In an instant, the evil fire within her was violently stimulated.
"Hot! So hot!"
Ma Xiaotao immediately felt the scorching sensation of evil fire consuming her body, making her unbearably uncomfortable.
Su Yunlin activated the power of the Heavenly Evil Sacred Demon Scythe, attempting to strip away the evil aura contained within the Evil Fire Phoenix.
However, that sinister aura seemed completely fused to her Martial Soul itself, impossible to separate cleanly.
The evil aura was already a part of the Evil Fire Phoenix.
If he forcibly extracted it, Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul would shatter as well.
And damage to a Martial Soul was a disaster for any Spirit Master.
"Tsk! Can't do it. Senior Sister Xiaotao, I can remove the evil aura, but your Martial Soul would be damaged too. The only real solution is the same method used by the first-generation Phoenix Douluo — purifying your flames with immortal medicinal herbs."
"You bastard! You triggered this old lady's evil fire and now you're saying you can't fix it?! Huo Yuhao, save me!"
Ma Xiaotao endured the agony of the evil fire burning through her body while glaring furiously at Su Yunlin.
"Huh?"
With his eyes still covered, Huo Yuhao had no idea what was happening.
Ma Xiaotao directly pulled him into her arms.
Immediately, Huo Yuhao felt an incomparably scorching heat envelop him.
Seeing the scene unfold, Wang Dong instantly dragged Su Yunlin out of the room.
"Sister Xiaotao, I'll close the door for you!"
Wang Dong did not forget to shut the door behind them.
"Su Yunlin, you bastard! Yuhao, hurry and release your Ultimate Ice! I'm about to lose consciousness!"
Ma Xiaotao's face was completely flushed red. The evil fire inside her had been fully ignited by Su Yunlin's dark aura, leaving her in unbearable agony.
Only Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice could suppress her raging evil fire now.
...
In the corridor—
Wang Dong twisted Su Yunlin's ear while dangerous light flickered within her pink-blue eyes.
"Didn't you say you weren't interested in Ma Xiaotao? Then why are you being so considerate toward her? Are you trying to date two girls at once?!"
"Of course not! I'm innocent!"
Su Yunlin hurriedly defended himself.
"I just wanted to test something. I discovered that if the evil aura within Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul is triggered by dark attributes, her Martial Soul could potentially mutate into a Dark Phoenix Martial Soul."
"Her evil fire would evolve into dark-attributed Ultimate Fire. At that point, her consciousness would be completely devoured by the evil fire. Even Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice wouldn't be able to suppress it anymore."
Su Yunlin truly did know this.
Later on, during the battle against the Sun Moon Royal Academy, there would be a Judgement Sword with dark attributes. Once its dark power entered Ma Xiaotao's body, it would directly cause her Martial Soul to mutate.
To prevent the evil Spirit Masters from gaining another Fire Phoenix Saintess, Su Yunlin had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
And in truth, he could suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil aura.
He could even forcibly remove her evil fire entirely.
But if the evil fire were stripped away, Ma Xiaotao's Martial Soul would be damaged as well.
And damage to a Martial Soul was practically equivalent to destroying a Spirit Master's future path.
Although Ma Xiaotao could be somewhat reckless and overly individualistic, she was not a bad person. She possessed a strong sense of justice.
She was simply… missing a screw in her head sometimes.
Someone like her really should not fall into darkness.
