Chapter 984: Martial Soul and Bloodline Fusion

Taking a step forward, Tang Wulin began to advance. This time, the Golden Dragon Spear he held in front of his body shook abruptly and created dozens of spears of light in an instant. Countless golden spears shimmered in the air and gave out a series of violent sonic booms. The sound made it feel like the entire arena was tearing itself into pieces.

The chill was further dispersed. Tang Wulin took nine steps forward in succession which caused thousands of lights to burst out from the center of the competition arena at once. On the other hand, Long Yuxue was very surprised to find that Tang Wulin’s aura strengthened with every step he took, while the scales on his body glowed brighter. The overbearing aura oppressed her so much that she could not even bring herself to even try to attack him.

She had known that Tang Wulin was very powerful, but they had always been comrades-in-arms. Thus, she had no idea what it felt like to fight against him.

Tang Wulin had not even attacked her, but she could profoundly understand Jiang Wuyue’s agony earlier.

The domineering aura was even more terrifying than a direct attack as there was no way she could dodge. Long Yuxue felt like her spirit and thoughts were being seized by Tang Wulin, while her ice attribute, that had been strengthening thanks to her ice domain, was weakening.

Tang Wulin did not even bother to look in Long Yuxue’s direction as he thrust his spear forward and unleashed his strongest soul power fluctuation. Every fiber of his being was completely focused into the Thousand Accusing Fingers and his spear’s consciousness.

His martial soul and bloodline power were being released under the constant stimulation of the spear’s consciousness. They were trying out different types of combinations.

He had not used any of his soul skills, only the spear’s radiance. Dazzling streams of light burst from the spear, linking into one another and continuously empowering his aura.

It was the best feeling ever!

He could not release his weapon’s consciousness in such a brazen manner within the army, but he could do so now. He could unleash everything he had considered over the past few days in the simulated competition arena.

He was still far from his goals, but he had managed to find the weapon’s consciousness that was unique to him.

He cultivated and slept together with his Golden Dragon Spear every day, and this was finally beginning to show some results. The Golden Dragon Spear hummed and vibrated as its consciousness was gently released. It was the best method that allowed Tang Wulin to achieve mastery in the use of his martial soul and bloodline power.

Long Yuxue could clearly see that there was a thin layer of gold with a scale-like pattern appearing on the Bluesilver Emperor vines that were imitating the movement of the spear. It was as if every vine was Tang Wulin’s spear covered with the Golden Dragon Body.

This was the overlaying effect of his bloodline power and soul power! This was something that Tang Wulin had never realized before.

He had never thought that his soul power and blood essence power could produce some kind of relationship before Old Tang’s reminder. At that moment, he finally understood where he went wrong.

He did not possess twin martial souls, having only his one Bluesilver Grass martial soul. His blood essence power was supposed to be assisting his martial soul in battle. He had forgotten about this all along because his Golden Dragon King Bloodline was powerful enough to be used on its own.

He recalled his experience while participating in the Star Luo Continent’s competition when the Fox King Su Mu once used his bloodline power to amplify his martial soul! Yet, he had never attempted to do so in the past, having only allowed his martial soul to be silently influenced by his bloodline.

He possessed a mountain of treasure all along which he had never even tried to use. How foolish he was.

In reality, one reason Tang Wulin had never gone down this path was that his own bloodline power was so great. The other reason was that he was so influenced by his bloodline soul ring, he had assumed that these two soul rings could never possibly appear together in his subconscious mind. He regarded his bloodline power as a twin martial soul.

He was suddenly enlightened after Old Tang’s prompt that his bloodline power was not his martial soul! He was supposed to be able to alternate between those two at his convenience. He should be able to fuse these two together, not just alternate between two, in order to reach his full potential.

At this exact moment, his martial soul and bloodline power had finally begun to fuse with every thrust of his spear.

The dragon core on his chest was slowly sinking. The golden radiance covered his entire body while simultaneously surging into the soul power vortex in his abdomen. The crystal-like form on the inside was becoming clearer and clearer.

“Humm…” Tang Wulin suddenly thrust his spear forward while the hundreds of spears of light fused into one. All the golden Bluesilver Emperor vines abruptly stood upright, reflecting the spear’s consciousness.

Long Yuxue’s domain exploded with a loud bang and transformed into an icy mist that rose into the air. However, the ice mist immediately dispersed as soon as it went near Tang Wulin.

This was the elemental stripping effect derived from the silent influence of the Bluesilver Golden Array. Even though the soul skill was not used yet, a portion of its energy was released during the shimmering process his soul power and bloodline power had undergone.

It was so powerful!

The intense energy fluctuation was glowing in the air. Tang Wulin took a quick step forward and swept his Golden Dragon Spear horizontally across all the Bluesilver Emperor vines.

A great golden light bloomed out of thin air.

Tang Wulin laughed aloud and shouted out, “Golden Dragon Body!”

In an instant, all the Bluesilver Emperor vines were illuminated. The thin layer of gold suddenly turned bright. It was as if every vine of the Bluesilver Emperor was really coated with golden dragon scales. They did not appear like vines anymore but genuine giant dragons.

However, Tang Wulin immediately felt that his blood essence power and soul power were rapidly being depleted at the same time.

It was apparent that he had to pay a price for combining the two!

Tang Wulin pointed ahead with the Golden Dragon Spear in his head and yelled aloud, “Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven!”

Countless Bluesilver Emperor vines jutted forward out like the Golden Dragon Spear. A giant golden dragon over twenty meters long bloomed out from the Golden Dragon Spear before dashing forward valiantly. On the other hand, puffs of fine golden dragon energy were spurting out from the tips of the Bluesilver Emperor vines. The dragon energy attached itself to the golden dragon doubling the power of the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven in the space of one breath. It dashed toward the front boldly like a real dragon descending.

Tang Wulin was overjoyed! There was no doubt that he had succeeded, even though the Golden Dragon Soars to the Heaven consumed twice the bloodline power and a larger amount of soul power compared to ordinary circumstances. Yet, the power of the blast was more than doubled! Moreover, it had completely exceeded the limits of his rank.

Only martial soul fusion skills could rival this ability of his.

Two soul masters were required to launch a martial soul fusion skill, and it consumed a lot of energy once it was launched, so it was difficult to relaunch within a short period of time and there was only a single method. Yet, Tang Wulin’s fusion of martial soul and bloodline could be applied to any of his abilities! How could this ever be rivaled by a simple martial soul fusion skill?

Long Yuxue had already dropped her arms. She watched the golden dragon spreading its wings and roaring nonchalantly in the air, and she understood that she did not even stand any chance.

She had only experienced such complete helplessness when she was fighting against her father.

How powerful was he? How far would he go before he reached his limit?

Long Yuxue’s was so shocked, she had already forgotten that she was still in the competition and that person showing off in the center of the arena was her opponent.

Tang Wulin’s body swayed after he had retracted the Golden Dragon Spear. He stamped his right foot against the ground and loudly cried, “Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth!”
