Lin Yu and Qian Renxue, who were embracing face-to-face, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of connection at that moment, as if their power had merged.
The Element Angel Martial Soul and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul finally successfully fused into one.
After the two Spirits merged, they exuded an unprecedented terrifying power.
"We succeeded! Lin Yu, we succeeded!"
"That's great, Xue'er Jie, now it's time for the second step!~"
Both of them flew up happily.
They then immediately began to try and create a fusion skill after the Martial Soul Fusion, but undoubtedly, their first attempt ended in failure.
However, they were both full of confidence now. Lin Yu said, "Xue'er Jie, it's only a matter of time before we create a Martial Soul Fusion Technique that belongs to us."
"I believe that before our battle with Tuoba Xi, we will definitely develop a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"
"Mm-hmm, keep up the good work."
The two exchanged smiles, high-fiving each other for encouragement.
Since they succeeded once, the second and third times would no longer be difficult. They could achieve Martial Soul Fusion with 100% probability, and then proceed with the second step of research, one attempt after another.
After a long time, both of them lay exhausted on the ground, their spirit power depleted.
Lin Yu panted slightly and said, "Xue'er Jie, it seems it's impossible to complete the second step in a short time."
"Let's stop here for now. Xiao Shuai's injuries have almost recovered. We'll rest for a night and depart for our next destination tomorrow."
"Mm-hmm, okay!"
The two helped each other up and went to the Spirit Hall Branch's cafeteria, intending to get something to eat.
It was already past nine in the evening, and there was almost no one in the cafeteria at this time. Fortunately, the chef hadn't left work yet.
Lin Yu quickly asked the chef to cook something simple for them, as he was starving.
But he suddenly noticed that he had never seen this chef before. Lin Yu asked, "Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before?"
"Oh ho ho, Young Master Lin Yu, I'm Old Wang's relative. Old Wang hasn't been feeling well these past two days, so he asked me to fill in for a few days." The chef smiled, acting very naturally, showing no signs of anything amiss.
However, Lin Yu vaguely smelled a cold aura on him, a feeling only people who constantly hover between life and death and engage in slaughter would possess.
"Is that so?" Lin Yu's eyes subtly changed. He didn't ask anything further and found a seat with Qian Renxue.
But internally, he had already begun to be wary.
A moment later, the chef brought the food to their table. He specifically instructed them to eat it while it was hot, then turned and left.
Lin Yu was sitting with his back to the chef. He secretly released his mental force and found that as the chef walked away, he was staring intently at him out of the corner of his eye!
"This person is problematic!"
Lin Yu looked down at the food on the table and secretly transmitted spirit power to Qian Renxue, "Xue'er Jie, don't move yet. I'll take a bite first."
He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth.
"This food is poisoned!"
Lin Yu's killing intent surged instantly.
Qian Renxue's expression also turned a few shades colder, and she communicated via spirit power, "Someone wants to kill us?"
"No, this poison isn't fatal, but it can make one completely powerless and unable to mobilize spirit power for a short period. The other party is probably targeting me."
Lin Yu mused in his heart, "Who wants to poison me? Ning Fengzhi? Or Bibi Dong?"
Currently, Lin Yu didn't know that the news of him being a Divinity inheritor had already been learned by the Empire and various major forces.
So, the only people he could think of who would harm him were Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong.
As for who administered the poison, it was undoubtedly the chef who was cooking at the moment!
"Xue'er Jie, please step aside for a moment."
Qian Renxue understood Lin Yu's thoughts and suddenly stood up, intentionally saying, "Lin Yu, you eat first. I'm going to the restroom."
With that, Qian Renxue walked towards the restroom next to the cafeteria.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, boldly began to eat the food. A few seconds later, his hands suddenly went limp, and he collapsed onto the table, beginning to act: "What's going on? I... I can't move my body..."
"There's... there's poison!"
"Heh, the poison has taken effect."
The chef immediately dropped his disguise and sneered, then quickly walked towards Lin Yu.
He was a professional assassin trained for many years by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Yu said weakly, "You, you poisoned my food?"
"That's right. I didn't expect to succeed so easily. Sure enough, the powerful figures behind you aren't always guarding you and protecting you!"
"Besides, this is a Spirit Hall Branch, it's safe enough. It's normal for Ghost Leopard Douluo not to be constantly watching you."
"Heh heh, what if you're the number one genius on the continent? What if you have a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse protecting you? Today, a figure like you will still die at the hands of an unknown person like me."
As he spoke, the assassin had already drawn his dagger.
Lin Yu remained weakly sprawled on the table, his face pale as he said, "Who are you? Who exactly wants to kill me!"
"You don't need to know that. Die!"
The hidden assassin's killing intent surged, and he rapidly attacked, thrusting his dagger towards Lin Yu's neck.
However, at this moment, Lin Yu, who had been powerless, suddenly became lively and instantly pulled out a dagger, stabbing the opponent's chest first.
Pfft!
"Ugh... How is this possible!" The assassin looked at Lin Yu in disbelief: "You... aren't you already poisoned?"
Lin Yu's mouth curved upwards: "Heh, I'm sorry, but I'm immune to all poisons!"
"Scram!"
Lin Yu kicked the assassin away and stood up gracefully.
He had absorbed two top-tier poisonous Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Inferno Delicate Apricot, so his body had long been immune to all poisons.
"If I hadn't deliberately avoided your vital points just now, you would already be dead. Speak! Who sent you to assassinate me!" Lin Yu asked.
"Damn it!"
"Spirit Assimilation!"
The assassin activated his Spirit, and six rings appeared beneath his feet. He immediately chose to escape at extreme speed.
"Six-ring Spirit Emperor! With this speed, is he an agility-attack systemSpirit Master?"
"The last target to kill for the Element God's second trial, he came at just the right time!" Lin Yu was overjoyed.
At this moment, Dugu Bo and Qian Renxue had already blocked the Spirit Emperor assassin's path.
"Xue'er Jie, Senior Dugu Bo, don't make a move! I'll handle this!"
Lin Yu activated his Spirit and chased after him.
The assassin Spirit Emperor had already been severely wounded by Lin Yu's dagger, and his combat power had greatly declined. He hadn't run far before Lin Yu caught up.
"Die!"
Bang!
After a brief exchange, the assassin was quickly left on the ground, barely alive, by Lin Yu's Fire Fist.
"Speak! Who sent you to kill me? I advise you to answer my question honestly, otherwise, I will torment you until you do." Lin Yu tightly choked the assassin Spirit Emperor's neck.
But to his utter surprise, the assassin Spirit Emperor bit his tongue and committed suicide without hesitation the next second!
Lin Yu's expression was solemn: "This guy actually chose to commit suicide without the slightest hesitation."
