Chapter 24:Ji Wuchang's Confused After Soul Fusion.
"Catch!" Xuan Lao threw Ji Wuchang directly to Ma Xiaotao, then pulled out a greasy chicken leg from somewhere and started gnawing on it.
Ma Xiaotao caught Ji Wuchang in a flustered manner, about to say something, but suddenly froze.
She could clearly feel her soul power suddenly accelerate when her body came into contact with Ji Wuchang. A soul power channel was easily formed, and their soul powers communicated.
"This...this is?!"
She hadn't felt anything when she was dressing Ji Wuchang, as she was shy and had been carefully dressing him with her fingers.
But now, with Ji Wuchang leaning against her, the instantaneous communication of their soul powers left her completely stunned.
"Sure enough, it's soul fusion! And the fusion degree isn't low either. Truly, the heavens are blessing Shrek Academy."
Xuan Lao didn't say much, turned around, and laughed as he left. Ma Xiaotao's teacher looked at Ma Xiaotao and Ji Wuchang with amusement. He also didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
Only Ma Xiaotao remained, holding Ji Wuchang, standing there in a daze.
"What on earth is going on?!"
...
"You brat, you finally decided to come back?" Zhou Yi glared fiercely at the boy who was looking down at her, her heart filled with resentment.
"Ahem, Teacher Zhou Yi, don't be angry. I was just doing something important, wasn't I?" The boy wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and explained.
"Doing something important?" Zhou Yi's eyes widened:
"All I see you doing in class is either sleeping or skipping class. You're always out fooling around, is that what you call doing something important?!"
"Of course I was doing something important! I slept in class because I already knew the material. I skipped class because Sister Xiaotao was looking for me." The boy said to Zhou Yi with a straight face.
That's right, the boy arguing with Zhou Yi was Ji Wuchang! He had just woken up and came to report to Zhou Yi.
The perspective shifts back to what just happened. Enveloped in warmth, he comfortably woke up from his slumber. Opening his eyes, he found himself lying on a comfortable large bed.
Hmm… judging from the room's furnishings, smelling the fragrance on the bed, and the red-toned bedding, there's no doubt it's Ma Xiaotao's bed.
Despite this, Ji Wuchang wasn't too flustered. It wasn't the first time he'd slept in Ma Xiaotao's bed, and she hadn't said anything about it.
Besides, as Ma Xiaotao's younger brother, wasn't it normal for him to sleep in her bed? (Normal my foot!)
It wasn't until he saw a long, snow-white leg around his waist that his heart suddenly tightened. Turning his head, sure enough, Ma Xiaotao's stunningly beautiful face came into view.
"What's going on?" Ji Wuchang's lips twitched. He knew he was cute, especially attractive to women. But that wasn't a reason to attack him!
"You're awake?" Ma Xiaotao's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, her dark, slightly reddish eyes staring intently at Ji Wuchang.
"Yeah. Sister Xiaotao, how could I..." Ji Wuchang stopped mid-sentence. He wanted to ask how he ended up in bed with Ma Xiaotao, but then he suddenly remembered something.
"How are you feeling? I remember you seemed to have a burst of evil fire?" Ji Wuchang asked hurriedly. Although it seemed someone had saved him in time and helped Ma Xiaotao recover, Ji Wuchang didn't relax.
Without the suppression of the ultimate ice, even if it was suppressed this time, the evil fire would soon erupt again! At that time...
Ji Wuchang couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't worry, the evil fire has been suppressed! At least it won't bother me for a while." Ma Xiaotao narrowed her eyes and replied.
"Huh? Suppressed? Suppressed by whom?"
To everyone's surprise, Ji Wuchang suddenly became agitated upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words.
Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit was something he only acquired after becoming a Great Soul Master! Ji Wuchang simply couldn't believe that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within him would risk exposure to suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire!
Only an ice-attribute spirit could suppress Ma Xiaotao's evil fire.
However, the entire Shrek Academy surprisingly lacked high-level ice-attribute soul masters. The highest-ranking one seemed to be only a Soul King!
If that was the case, then who suppressed the evil fire that even a powerhouse like Ma Xiaotao's teacher struggled with?
Seeing Ji Wuchang's eagerness, Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes. She then swept him into a powerful embrace.
This action caused Ji Wuchang to stiffen, inwardly both amused and exasperated. Why did his sister always act so unpredictably?
However, this time he had indeed misunderstood.
"Feel your soul power. What are you thinking about?"
Ma Xiaotao's pretty face flushed slightly as she looked at Ji Wuchang, who had suddenly drifted off into daydreams. She was furious and slapped him on the head.
"Ouch!" Ji Wuchang cried out in pain; Ma Xiaotao had really hit him hard…
"Serves you right!" Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but laugh and scold.
Without considering anything else, Ji Wuchang quickly calmed down and began to feel the soul power within his body.
When he discovered that his soul power was circulating at several times the usual speed, flowing into Ma Xiaotao's body through the point of contact between them, and then returning to his body after circulating for one cycle, he was astonished.
Furthermore, the soul power within their bodies, after entering each other's bodies and circulating, quickly transformed into a soul power different from their original ones.
It was as if the two had merged!
Moreover, he could clearly perceive that the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was being suppressed by the fused soul power, like a small flame about to be extinguished.
And with each cycle, a wisp of evil fire was drawn from Ma Xiaotao's body and merged into Ji Wuchang's.
Ji Wuchang clearly felt this wisp of evil fire merging into his body, but it had no effect on him whatsoever; on the contrary, it gradually increased his physical strength. This made him extremely happy.
Suddenly, however, he realized something.
"It was me who suppressed your evil fire?!"
Ji Wuchang's voice sounded extremely surprised, as if he had heard of a Title Douluo being utterly defeated by an ordinary person.
"Who else could it be but you?" Ma Xiaotao pinched Ji Wuchang's cheek with a mixture of joy and amusement, her eyes full of affection for him.
"But, how is this possible? I don't have an ice-attribute martial soul! And, our soul power... this..." Ji Wuchang gradually became incoherent.
"I don't know why you were able to solve my evil fire problem. Even my teachers couldn't explain it." Ma Xiaotao shook her head, then continued:
"As for our soul power, don't you understand what this means even now?"
"Martial soul fusion, right?"
"Yes! Martial soul fusion!"
...
"Huh? Martial soul fusion!???" Staring at Ji Wuchang with a look of utter disbelief, Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with huge question marks.
She had never heard of two people being able to complete martial soul fusion when their soul power was vastly different!
Even among the Golden Iron Triangle of ten thousand years ago, one of them was vastly different from the other two, yet there were three of them!
To put it another way, two Soul Masters with similar strength mutually mitigated each other's differences in Soul Power, allowing the third, with lower Soul Power, to participate.
However, Ji Wuchang's situation was truly unprecedented for Zhou Yi!
A Great Soul Master able to fuse with a Soul Emperor's Martial Soul? It just didn't make sense!
"Wait, isn't your Little Peach Sister's Martial Soul the Evil Fire Phoenix? What's the connection between that and your Martial Soul?" Zhou Yi suddenly realized something even more amiss.
Zhou Yi had also looked into Ji Wuchang's senior!
A prodigy of the Inner Academy, her Martial Soul was the Evil Fire Phoenix, and she was already a six-ring Soul Emperor at a young age. However, due to the characteristics of her Martial Soul, she had always been tormented by the evil fire.
But regardless, her identity and strength were entirely beneficial to Ji Wuchang, so she didn't stop their negotiation.
However, putting aside how troublesome Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was,
just looking at the characteristics of martial souls, there was no way Ji Wuchang's pitch-black sword could fuse with a phoenix!
Could it be that Ji Wuchang's sword was made of dragon bone?
"This... I'm not really sure either."
Ji Wuchang awkwardly rubbed his nose. Even now, he was still in a daze.
As someone who transmigrated from another world, he never imagined that he would one day fuse with someone's martial soul!
What's more, the person he fused with was Huo Yuhao's sister in the original story, the future head of the Sea God Pavilion!
To be honest, he didn't experience any significant changes after fusing with Ma Xiaotao's martial soul.
His original soul power directly increased to Soul Master, but after separating from Ma Xiaotao, it dropped from level 30 to level 27. In other words, only the speed of cultivation increased when he cultivated with Ma Xiaotao.
However, his cultivation method wasn't suitable for cultivating with Ma Xiaotao! Should he abandon his somewhat tiring but highly beneficial cultivation method to train with Ma Xiaotao?
Leaving aside the benefits of faster cultivation, he held a firm belief: only with a solid foundation could he go further in life! Although the original novel didn't emphasize foundational knowledge, the importance of a strong foundation was self-evident from reading so many novels!
Moreover, his father strongly agreed with his idea! He told him that it was more important to pursue the quality of soul power than the quantity!
Therefore, even though his cultivation speed was slower than others with the same innate full soul power, he wasn't in a hurry.
If he insisted on pursuing higher realms, without using soul power to cleanse his body, he might already be a Soul Master!
