"I hope this Lin Yu dies on the way."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes surged with killing intent, then he left and immediately sent word again to the Empire's assassins that Lin Yu was secretly protected by Ghost Leopard Douluo.
This was to allow the assassins to prepare and discuss their assassination plan.
However, his information was not accurate, as another protector of Lin Yu, the Titled Douluo Dugu Bo, was also about to return to his side.
"This Bone Douluo is too arrogant; he almost severely injured you. When we return, I will definitely have the Elder Enshriners act and go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to kill this Bone Douluo!" Qian Renxue said indignantly.
"Xue'er, don't be angry, don't be angry. This action is inappropriate. I will deal with this Bone Douluo myself in the future," Lin Yu soothed.
He then looked at the heavily injured Lin Shuai: "Xiao Shuai, are you alright?"
"There is no danger to my life, Young Clan Leader, don't worry."
"Mm, you rest well first. When we reach the next city, I will immediately find someone to heal you."
Lin Yu proactively took on the role of coachman, driving the carriage to continue their journey.
After a long while, they finally arrived at the next city and temporarily settled down in the Spirit Hall Branch in this city.
Lin Shuai was severely injured and could not endure the rigors of travel.
So Lin Yu and his companions decided to stay in this city for a longer period.
During this time, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue planned to thoroughly research the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
"Lin Yu, the so-called Martial Soul Fusion Technique is to merge our Spirits into one. When our Spirits merge, our spirit rings also merge, thereby creating a brand new Spirit Ability from the energy generated by the Spirit merging and spirit ring merging, and this is the Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"In other words, creating a Martial Soul Fusion Technique generally involves two steps!"
"The first step is to first merge the Spirits!"
"The second step is to create a Spirit Ability from the energy generated after the Spirit merger!"
Qian Renxue explained very seriously, continuing: "Theoretically, as long as we can first merge our Spirits, we will definitely be able to research a Martial Soul Fusion Technique. It's just a matter of time."
"But often, the first step is the hardest!" Lin Yu said.
Qian Renxue nodded: "Yes, to merge Spirits, you first need to see if the two Spirits have a high compatibility. The higher the Spirit compatibility, the easier it is to merge, but compatibility is only one basic condition."
"Both parties also need to have a thorough understanding of each other's Spirits, and both parties must also have extremely high tacit understanding and cooperation, with their minds connected, in order for the Spirits to merge."
"Your Element Angel and my Seraphim are both Angel-type Spirits. I think the compatibility should not be low, and we both understand each other's Spirits very well. We also have extremely high tacit understanding and cooperation."
"We have all the preliminary elements. Now we just need to carefully sense each other's Spirits and try to merge our Spirits."
Lin Yu pondered: "Along the way, we've tried many times, but there's been no progress. Xue'er, I'm thinking, do we need some physical contact? To better sense each other's Spirits?"
"Ph-physical contact?"
Lin Yu thought of those who released Martial Soul Fusion Techniques in the original work; most of them seemed to have physical contact to activate them. Some were back-to-back, some held hands, somehow their bodies had to touch.
He continued: "Yes! For example, if we hold hands, go back-to-back, or hug each other, should we try it?"
Qian Renxue raised her delicate brows, looking at Lin Yu suspiciously: "Hey, I say, you little rascal, you're not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"
Lin Yu retorted earnestly: "What are you thinking, Xue'er? I'm very normally discussing a faster way to merge Spirits, alright."
"And what do you mean by taking advantage of you? I hugged you, and you hugged me too! Aren't we even?"
"Hmph~" Qian Renxue pouted coquettishly, a little shyly saying: "Then… then let's try it."
"Come!"
Lin Yu extended both hands, palms facing Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue also extended her hands, palms meeting Lin Yu's palms.
Both closed their eyes simultaneously, carefully sensing each other's Spirits, attempting to merge their Spirits.
A few seconds later, Lin Yu actively curled his fingers, interlocking them with Qian Renxue's.
"You…"
Qian Renxue's small face flushed a few shades, and she also curled her fingers, their fingers completely tightly interlocked.
At this moment, the two seemed to be of one mind, able to feel each other's Spirit even more clearly.
"It's working!"
Both were simultaneously delighted internally.
Afterward, they tried back-to-back, and finally came to a frontal embrace.
"Come on, Xue'er, stop being so coy. Be more generous," Lin Yu spread his hands, ready to embrace Qian Renxue.
"I…"
A frontal embrace was too intimate. Qian Renxue really couldn't let go; she was a bit shy.
After all, Lin Yu was different from when they first met. Now, Lin Yu had grown taller and more handsome; he was no longer the little kid he used to be. Is it not good to be too intimate…
But she still gritted her teeth and said, "Come on!"
Lin Yu, seeing this, went straight up and hugged Qian Renxue. At that instant, Qian Renxue felt a strong reaction internally; her heart inexplicably sped up, her body trembled slightly, and her legs unconsciously tightened.
"Qian Renxue, ah, Qian Renxue, you! What's wrong with you! He… he's just a younger brother…" Qian Renxue murmured to herself, filled with shyness.
"This feeling…"
Lin Yu also felt a strange sensation for the first time during intimate contact with Qian Renxue. He could clearly smell Qian Renxue's body fragrance.
But Lin Yu remained relatively calm: "Xue'er, calm your mind, close your eyes, and sense the Spirit."
"Mm~" Qian Renxue responded softly.
The two entered a state, closed their eyes, and began to sense their Spirits.
This time, they both felt incredibly clear, as if they could completely sense the existence of the other's Spirit within their body, making new progress in Spirit fusion!
Hugging seemed to be the most effective method!
"Xue'er, again!"
"Mm~"
Qian Renxue shyly hummed.
For the next period, Lin Yu and Qian Renxue used hugging to attempt Spirit fusion, dividing their daily cultivation time into three parts.
First, researching the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Second, sparring and battling each other to improve combat ability.
Third, meditating and cultivating to increase spirit power.
Lin Yu's current combat power was still unable to defeat Qian Renxue, but their strengths were getting closer and closer.
Time flew by, and a month later.
Lin Yu's spirit power reached level 45.
Qian Renxue's spirit power also reached level 59, just one step away from the Spirit Emperor realm.
If nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely reach the Spirit Emperor realm before turning 16.
Breaking the record for the youngest Spirit Emperor on the Douluo Continent in one fell swoop.
And on this very day, Spirit fusion finally made comprehensive progress!
