Dazzling light erupted from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, so intense it stung the eyes, making it almost impossible to look directly. Amidst the brilliant light, the phantoms of the Bright Goddess Butterfly and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion gradually merged, and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's figures slowly vanished within the radiance.
Within a shimmering curtain of blue, gold, and green light, the enormous Bright Goddess Butterfly wings vigorously broke through the surrounding light. Accompanied by an burst of frost qi, a crystal-clear ice staircase condensed in the air. Upon this ice staircase, a graceful figure slowly descended.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful maiden. Her blue and pink hair cascaded like a waterfall to her ankles, soft and radiant. She wore a magnificent gown woven from light and frost. With every step, her skirt shimmered with dreamlike radiance, as if she were a fairy from an immortal realm. Her body exuded a soft glow, as if she had merged with light itself, while the frost qi beneath her feet continuously spread, giving off a serene and noble aura. Six butterfly wings gently fluttered, carrying flowing light and chilling qi, ethereal and beautiful beyond mortal creation.
The entire audience was profoundly shaken by this scene, staring blankly at the exquisite figure dancing gracefully within the ice mist, as if time itself had frozen.
Lu Jingming, however, was not as overwhelmed as the audience. After all, he had long known that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong possessed this martial soul fusion skill. But the thought of this incomparably beautiful maiden being the result of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's fusion made his expression peculiar.
The fusion of an Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and a Bright Goddess Butterfly giving birth to the Goddess of Light, Tang Wutong—this was truly illogical. It was as if the Martial Soul Fusion Skills of the Douluo Continent had no fundamental laws! Observing the golden trident mark on the Goddess of Light's brow, Lu Jingming's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't forgotten that the divine sense of the Sea God, Tang San, still slumbered within Wang Dong.
"Since you are unwilling to give up, then let me show you what true despair is!" Lu Jingming said indifferently.
As he spoke, his black armor gradually dissipated into black light, reforming into the familiar black long spear, thereby deactivating his Fifth Soul Skill.
The audience watching this scene showed expressions of confusion, not understanding why Lu Jingming would deactivate such a powerful 100,000-year soul skill after Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had successfully unleashed their martial soul fusion skill.
However, in the next moment, their eyes instantly widened, their faces filled with shock. Lu Jingming slowly drew a white cavalry spear from the void. The spear radiated a sacred light, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"Twin martial souls?"
"He has twin martial souls too!"
"How is this possible?"
A chorus of discussions erupted in the audience, everyone stunned and bewildered by this sudden development, their gazes uniformly fixed on Lu Jingming, who held two holy spears, one black and one white.
"Is it coming?!" Gu Yue's eyes flashed with excitement upon seeing this, and she tightly clenched her right hand.
In an instant, a furious gale arose. The strong wind transformed into countless sharp blades, tightly enveloping Xu Sanshi. The blades mercilessly shredded, accompanied by the piercing sound of a shattering shield. Xu Sanshi, covered in blood, knelt powerlessly on the ground.
Although Xu Sanshi appeared miserable, most of his injuries were superficial, not affecting his bones or tendons. Gu Yue had shown mercy. If she hadn't wanted to focus on observing Lu Jingming's next move, she wouldn't have minded sparring with Xu Sanshi a bit longer.
"Student Lu also has twin martial souls! He's so strong, and so handsome!" Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled, her infatuation resurfacing. Cupping her cheeks with both hands, she gazed adoringly at Lu Jingming's figure, as if she had fallen into endless adoration.
Xiao Hongchen saw his sister's expression, and veins popped out on his forehead. He was both anxious and exasperated. Remembering that Lu Jingming hadn't even used his full strength when he fought him earlier, his usual pride took another heavy blow. And Meng Hongchen's current reaction only fueled his rage, with nowhere to vent it.
"Twin martial souls, a 100,000-year soul ring. His talent is stronger, not weaker, than Huo Yuhao's!" Wang Yan pushed up his glasses, his eyes filled with awe and emotion. Their Shrek Academy class indeed had several twin martial soul geniuses, like Xiaoxiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong, but they were still in their growth stages and had yet to fully display their complete strength.
Lu Jingming, however, was entirely different. At less than fifteen years old, he was already capable of holding his own in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, demonstrating astonishing power.
"I am the black from hell, I am the white from heaven. I shall turn the heavens and earth, and restore order to the mortal world."
Lu Jingming raised both spears, slowly bringing them together, uttering a domineering declaration. Black light and white light shot into the sky. Then, these two lights gradually merged. Before the astonished eyes of everyone, the two holy spears, one black and one white, slowly fused together, transforming into a single, exquisitely adorned holy spear, intermingled with black and white.
"Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Holy Lance Backflow!"
As Lu Jingming's words fell, the black and white holy spear in his hand was steadily aimed at the Goddess of Light in front of him. At the same time, the Goddess of Light also slowly raised her right hand. Frost qi rapidly condensed and compressed at her fingertips. The extreme cold seemed to freeze everything around her.
The chill was poised to erupt, and a more intense collision seemed imminent.
"Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill? What is that? Can one person use a martial soul fusion skill?" Upon seeing this, everyone completely lost their composure. Especially Xiaoxiao, who also possessed twin martial souls, felt her worldview profoundly shaken. She never imagined that twin martial souls could be used in this way, with a single person employing a martial soul fusion skill.
On the rostrum, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but stand up in shock, and Duke Baihu Dai Hao's face also grew solemn. Throughout the long history of soul masters, while there had been no shortage of geniuses with twin martial souls, none had ever been able to use a martial soul fusion skill alone. Not even the Rakshasa God and the Sea God, who became gods ten thousand years ago, had achieved it.
But Lu Jingming had broken this conventional rule of the soul master world. With his own power, he used a martial soul fusion skill that typically required multiple people to coordinate, once again making history.
In an instant, the Goddess of Light moved like lightning, flashing forward and charging towards Lu Jingming. Wherever she passed, the temperature plummeted, and the ground was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, like a gleaming, transparent silver blanket.
Seeing this, Lu Jingming's lips curved slightly into a faint smile. He held Black Abyss White Flower tightly in his hand, its shaft shimmering with white light. With a gentle flick of his wrist, Black Abyss White Flower thrust forward, and a dazzling white light blossomed. This white light precisely collided with the Goddess of Light's fingertip, which had condensed extreme cold.
The moment of contact, the white light spread out like a tide, rapidly forming a massive white light sphere that enveloped the entire Goddess of Light. Within this pure white light, the Goddess of Light's expression instantly changed, her eyes filled with disbelief. For in that fleeting moment, whether it was the surging soul power within her, the power of ultimate ice, or the pure power of light, all were instantly nullified by a powerful force. It was as if the area covered by this white light had become an energy vacuum, where all energy had disappeared.
Lu Jingming's lips curved into a smile. As long as he struck with his Self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Holy Lance Backflow—all energy would be confined to one place and instantly eliminated. The Goddess of Light's greatest mistake was touching Black Abyss White Flower. This was originally Black Abyss White Flower's second rated power, but now he had unleashed it in the form of a martial soul fusion skill.
Moreover, Lu Jingming possessed more than just this one martial soul fusion skill. Holy Lance Backflow was primarily led by White Flower, and its characteristic was not destruction and killing, but rather focusing on restricting and erasing energy. For the Goddess of Light, who was composed of soul power, this move was perfectly suited and effective. Once the energy was eliminated, the Goddess of Light naturally lost her basis for existence.
As expected, as time passed, when the dazzling white light gradually disappeared, the figure of the Goddess of Light also vanished. In her place, only a comatose Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong remained, their soul power completely erased.
Lu Jingming glanced at the two unconscious figures on the ground, then spun and forcefully threw Black Abyss White Flower. The spear transformed into a streak of light, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao, who was fiercely battling Firefly, had already fallen into a berserk state, fully immersed in the fight. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Immediately afterward, the blazing flames on her body instantly extinguished, and the Blazing Sky Sacred Armor, which had been exuding a powerful aura, also became dim and lifeless.
Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at the black and white spear tip piercing her chest, her eyes filled with disbelief and confusion. In an instant, her body lost control, and like a kite with a broken string, she plunged straight towards the ground.
"Ma Xiaotao!"
"Sister Xiaotao!"
Wang Yan and the others, witnessing this scene, immediately widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock and disbelief, involuntarily crying out. Not only the Shrek Academy members, but the audience on the stands were also stunned, overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events. No one had expected Lu Jingming to suddenly launch such a ruthless attack on Ma Xiaotao. This action far exceeded their expectations.
"Bastard!" In a corner of the Eye of Haiyuan, Xuan Zi, who had been hidden in the shadows and had not yet appeared, first froze upon seeing this scene, then his eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He immediately cast aside his initial apprehension and fear of the Snow Moon Douluo. His soul power surged, and his entire being exuded a furious aura, wanting nothing more than to rush onto the stage immediately and demand justice for Ma Xiaotao.
