Chapter 81: Spirit Fusion Technique
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Feng's outstretched palm and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she placed her hand on his, and their spirit power and martial spirits began to merge.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai felt uneasy.
"Look, they're fusing!" Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly.
That one word—fusion—sounded particularly harsh to Dai Mubai's ears.
When Zhu Zhuqing teamed up with Ye Feng, she had mentioned feeling a strange sense of connection with him, as if their martial spirits could merge. Everyone at Shrek Academy, except for Grandmaster, knew about it.
Oscar, who had no grudge against Ye Feng and only felt gratitude toward him, was thrilled. Watching the scene unfold, he couldn't help but sigh. "Zhuqing and Boss Ye finally fused."
That single sentence made Dai Mubai freeze. Something about the way it was phrased felt off. Why did it sound like he'd just been cheated on?
He turned to glare at Oscar, who immediately realized his mistake and shut up, shifting his focus back to the arena.
A dazzling light burst forth on the battlefield. The radiance quickly condensed, revealing a well-proportioned female figure with graceful curves.
Spirit Fusion Technique: Ancient Black Tortoise
The Snake-Turtle duo's martial spirits merged, transforming into a massive black tortoise standing three meters tall. However, its tail wasn't that of a normal tortoise—it had the front half of a snake.
The host's voice rang out in excitement. "The Snake-Turtle team has used their spirit fusion technique, Ancient Black Tortoise! But wait—what's this? Their opponents are also using a fusion technique! Just what kind of fusion will emerge from the Nether Spirit Cat and Nine Hearts Black Begonia spirits? Oh my god... it's absolutely stunning!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Feng had vanished.
In their place stood a breathtaking woman, around 1.65 meters tall, her figure strikingly alluring. Her long, orchid-colored hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist. Instead of regular clothing, she was draped in a dress formed from crystalline purple-black petals. The top was a tight-fitting, low-cut bodysuit, while the bottom flowed like a long gown. Under her feet, a Nine Hearts Black Begonia bloomed, matching the deep purple-black hue of her attire.
On her delicate face were whisker-like markings, resembling those of a wild feline. It gave her an exotic beauty—both dangerous and divine.
Spirit Fusion Technique: Mysterious Begonia Cat Saint
This was the fusion of Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Spirit Cat and Ye Feng's Nine Hearts Black Begonia.
The Ancient Black Tortoise radiated a golden light, and as yellow and blue energy intertwined, a massive mudslide surged forward, aiming straight for the Mysterious Begonia Cat Saint.
Whoosh!
A sharp sound cut through the air as Zhu Zhuqing stood atop the Nine Hearts Black Begonia, pressing her palms together. Her spirit power surged wildly.
Dark Night Falls!
From above, countless black-purple petals descended, covering a wide area around the Ancient Black Tortoise.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the petals exploded, releasing a dense, purple-black mist that enveloped the giant beast entirely. In the blink of an eye, the Mysterious Begonia Cat Saint rushed into the shrouded battlefield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The audience held their breath. No one could see what was happening inside the swirling mist. But when the dark haze finally dissipated, Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing stood tall on the battlefield, while the Snake-Turtle duo lay unconscious on the ground.
The referee began counting.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
…
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"The winners of this two-on-two match—Nine Spiritual Cats! That's five consecutive victories, earning them another point!"
Ye Feng turned to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile. "Come on, let's go register our points."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, following him off the battlefield. As they walked, she murmured, "Boss Ye, I feel like I can fuse with you in another way."
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. "You wanna use the spirit fusion technique again?"
"Yeah," Zhu Zhuqing replied seriously.
"Maybe next time," Ye Feng chuckled, patting her shoulder.
Truth be told, he felt it too. He and Zhu Zhuqing had another possible fusion technique—but it wouldn't be with the Nine Hearts Black Begonia. It would be with his other martial spirit, the Xuanyuan Sword.
—
After registering their points, the arena's manager, Director Ao, personally approached Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing.
From Xiao Wu, Ye Feng learned that the Shrek team had defeated the Berserker team earlier. But now, the Great Spirit Arena had a problem. The nobles of Soto City had invited a Silver Fighting Team composed entirely of Spirit Masters from the Imperial Capital.
For several nights in a row, the Great Spirit Arena couldn't find a worthy challenger at that level. The nobles had placed heavy bets, and if the Arena didn't find a team to fight back, they'd suffer huge losses.
So, Director Ao wanted Shrek Academy's team to step up and take on the Silver Fighting Team.
Yu Xiaogang agreed. However, since Ye Feng was already a Spirit King at level 50, he wasn't suitable to fight alongside the Shrek Seven Devils. Instead, they would handle the team battle on their own.
—
That night, the Shrek Seven Devils faced off against the Royal Fighting Team—and won.
The battle played out differently than the original timeline. Thanks to Ye Feng's interference, both Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing had absorbed immortal herbs, vastly boosting their strength. The fight didn't even last long enough for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to use their spirit fusion technique—Shrek Academy crushed the Royal Fighting Team before that.
"You guys are strong," Yu Tianheng admitted, his face dark with frustration. "But I didn't lose completely to you."
Ning Rongrong sneered. "Oh, shut up. If my senior brother and Xiao Wu were allowed to fight tonight, you'd have been beaten even worse."
Yu Tianheng's expression stiffened. "Your senior brother and Xiao Wu?"
"Yeah," Ning Rongrong said proudly. "They both broke through to level 40."
"What?!"
"Level 40?!"
"You're telling me they're still just students?"
The Royal Fighting Team was stunned. They had always considered themselves geniuses, yet here they were, hearing about people their age who had already become Spirit Ancestors.
Ma Hongjun, who had gained immense benefits from Ye Feng, chuckled. "No need to doubt it. Boss Ye and Xiao Wu are about my age. Oh yeah, funny thing—one of you has the Nine Hearts Begonia martial spirit, right? Well, Boss Ye's martial spirit is the Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia."
That name sent a jolt through Ye Lingling, the support-type Spirit Master from the Royal Fighting Team.
She stepped forward, her expression serious. "You just said... the person with the Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia is also named Ye?"
