Chapter 202 The Radiant Fire Lotus
just
It is impossible for Ye Qifeng to stay in Blazing City in the future.
Even if he could combine with Huo Wu to form a martial soul fusion skill, it wouldn't make much sense.
After all, he won't stay by Huo Wu's side forever, unless Huo Wu follows him.
But that won't work either.
Even if Huo Wu were willing, Ye Qifeng would not agree.
Because he still has a lot to do.
He couldn't possibly take Huo Wu around everywhere. Although there were ghosts secretly protecting her, so there was no need to worry about her safety, it would delay Huo Wu's cultivation.
The fire element in Blazing City is extremely concentrated, making it the most suitable place for cultivating the Fire Dance Martial Soul.
Besides, this is the place where Huo Wu has always lived and is familiar with; it's her home. At such a young age, it's best not to go too far from home.
"So, could you work with me to figure this out? I want to know if our martial souls can be combined to create a martial soul fusion skill."
Just then, Huo Wu's ethereal and melodious voice reached my ears.
Ye Qifeng, who was deep in thought, looked up at the sound and met Huo Wu's beautiful, expectant eyes. He also noticed Huo Wu's slightly flushed face.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Ye Qifeng nodded to Huo Wu.
There's no harm in giving it a try; it'll satisfy Huo Wu's current expectations and lift her spirits a little, preventing her from feeling as down as before.
"You agreed? That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu happily lifted her bottom off the flat boulder and bounced it around. Underneath her wine-red dress, her buttocks bounced violently, creating ripples.
Her waist-length, wine-red, wavy hair danced in the breeze, revealing a unique charm.
Ye Qifeng stared at Huo Wu for a moment, momentarily stunned.
To be honest, Huo Wu is beautiful, really beautiful.
Tall and slender, with a well-proportioned figure, long, wavy, wine-red hair, a fair complexion, delicate features, large, bright, dark red eyes, a flame-shaped hairpin on her forehead, and a metal choker around her neck.
Everything about her showcases her exquisite and unique beauty and charm.
The wine-red dress she wore, paired with her long wine-red hair, complemented each other perfectly. In addition, the subtle fire-attribute aura emanating from her body made her look like a fire goddess, captivating and attracting attention.
Anyone who says they don't like such a beauty must be a fool.
Seeing Ye Qifeng's suddenly stunned expression, Huo Wu realized her inappropriate behavior. While feeling shy, she couldn't help but feel a little smug, satisfied, and pleased.
Although Ye Qifeng rejected her confession, at least her beauty and charm were enough to attract his attention.
That's good.
This means she still has a chance.
A moment later, Ye Qifeng snapped out of his reverie, having been captivated by Huo Wu's beauty.
"But I can't guarantee success."
He thought for a moment, then added a sentence, and took the opportunity to explain to Huo Wu:
"You should know that the requirements for the combination of the two people's martial soul fusion skills are extremely strict. It is not as simple as one plus one equals two."
"Firstly, regarding the martial spirit, there are two requirements."
"First, the martial souls must be compatible, meaning they must resonate with each other. This is the foundation of martial soul fusion techniques."
"In this respect, Huo Wu, your Naruto Martial Soul already meets the requirements. As for my Shadow Martial Soul, although there is no tremor reaction, I can clearly sense the presence of your Naruto Martial Soul. This is still questionable for now; I'm not sure if this counts as meeting the requirements, so it needs to be verified."
Huo Wu's mouth gaped slightly, somewhat surprised that Ye Qifeng knew so much about the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Listening to his analysis of the compatibility between the two martial souls, Huo Wu nodded slightly, agreeing with his opinion.
Ye Qifeng glanced at Huo Wu and continued:
"Secondly, it requires that the martial souls achieve perfect complementarity and combination. Of course, if one or two martial souls are highly compatible, the requirement for complementarity and combination will be reduced."
"Given that our martial souls are similar in form, they can be considered a good match. However, their attributes are fundamentally different, so complementarity is not really an option. We can only rely on the compatibility of our martial souls."
"In terms of martial soul compatibility, I think my Shadow Martial Soul is stronger than your Fire Shadow Martial Soul. That is because my Shadow Martial Soul is slightly higher in martial soul grade than your Fire Shadow Martial Soul."
After all, Ye Qifeng's martial soul is a top-tier divine martial soul, and with the assistance of Yin and Yang, its suitability is extremely high.
Huo Wu slightly raised her eyelashes and looked at Ye Qifeng, her eyes revealing surprise and shock.
She naturally knew that martial spirits needed to complement and match each other, because her father had told her that.
But the compatibility of martial spirits is something I've never heard of before.
Furthermore, he said that his Shadow Martial Soul was of a higher grade than his Fire Shadow Martial Soul. Well, that's normal, since the Fire Shadow Martial Soul conveys emotions of excitement, worship, and submission when it is activated.
This shows that his martial spirit is indeed of a much higher grade.
It must be the top-tier of all top-tier martial souls, right?
His martial soul's compatibility should be extremely high. If that's the case, then the second requirement of the martial soul fusion skill might not be unattainable.
That being said, this knowledge must come from the resources and influence behind him, right?
Which faction does he actually belong to?
The Spirit Hall? One of the Three Upper Sects? Or some unknown, hidden force?
Oh my, I'm so curious, I really want to know!
That way, even if he leaves Blazing Academy, I'll know where to look for him in the future.
Ye Qifeng was unaware of the thoughts that were swirling in Huo Wu's mind at that moment, and he continued speaking:
"Now that we've covered the requirements for Martial Souls, let's talk about Soul Masters. There's a very important requirement: the two of them must reach a certain level of mutual understanding."
"True understanding often requires years of getting to know each other and opening one's heart to cultivate; this takes a long time. And we..."
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng looked up at Huo Wu, just as Huo Wu also looked up at him.
The two immediately locked eyes.
But after a short while, Huo Wu blushed and shyly turned her head away, not daring to look again.
Seeing Huo Wu so shy, her adorable appearance was a stark contrast to her usual straightforwardness.
Ye Qifeng paused, smiled faintly, and then spoke:
"We've only known each other for a little over a month. Although we have feelings for each other, it's far from the level of mutual understanding required."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu turned her head, her flushed face revealing joy, and she happily exclaimed in her heart:
"That's great! He said he likes me!"
Seeing the expression on Huo Wu's face, and guessing that she might have misunderstood, Ye Qifeng said again:
"Huo Wu, I can study the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with you, but before that, I need to tell you something."
"What is it? Tell me, I'm listening."
Huo Wu quickly composed herself, straightened her posture, and became serious and focused.
Ye Qifeng cleared his throat, looked at Huo Wu, and said gently:
"Huo Wu, if you've ever witnessed a Spirit Fusion Technique, you should know that the Spirit Fusion Techniques in Douluo Continent are somewhat bizarre."
"When a Soul Master uses a Soul Fusion Skill, not only will their Souls fuse together, but their bodies will also fuse together."
"If we are to study the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, physical contact is unavoidable. Please forgive me if there is any offense in the process."
After speaking, Ye Qifeng looked at Huo Wu seriously.
Although Huo Wu is currently in love with him, she probably doesn't care about this kind of thing.
But he felt it was better to explain it in advance.
"Oh, is that what you mean? It's okay."
Huo Wu waved her hand casually.
It was just physical contact; she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
The more the better; she wished for more physical contact.
After all, the current situation is not that Ye Qifeng is lusting after her, but that she is lusting after Ye Qifeng.
This kind of physical contact is, of course, always welcome.
She didn't mind.
They even enjoyed it a little.
Only in this way can her relationship with Ye Qifeng take another step forward.
Moreover, Ye Qifeng's body is incredibly comfortable to touch; the unparalleled peace, comfort, and tranquility are simply wonderful and captivating.
She really wanted it.
If she could, she would even want to sleep with him every night.
"In that case, let's give it a try."
Night Seven Wind stood up from the flat boulder.
Huo Wu also stood up and stood gracefully next to Ye Qifeng. Although she was half a head taller than Ye Qifeng, she did not mind at all.
A pair of large eyes remained fixed on Ye Qifeng.
After revealing her feelings, the affection in her eyes was so naked, direct, and unrestrained.
With a flick of his wrist, Ye Qifeng left a phantom trail behind him and landed in the open space by the hot spring lake in the blink of an eye. He stopped, turned around, looked at Huo Wu standing gracefully on the flat boulder, and nodded to her.
Huo Wu instantly understood that Ye Qifeng wanted to see how well she controlled the Meteor Butterfly Step movement technique.
With a gentle smile, she gracefully leaped down from the flat boulder, like a beautiful butterfly, and landed with a series of mysterious steps, instantly standing a meter in front of Ye Qifeng.
Huo Wu's Meteor Butterfly Step is not yet fully refined, but the movements are very graceful and pleasing to the eye, and the speed is no slower than Ye Qifeng's just now.
After standing still, Huo Wu bit her lip slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Qifeng, anticipating his praise.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, nodded, and praised him generously:
"Very good. Huo Wu, you are truly gifted and have amazing comprehension. You have mastered it to such a degree in just half a month."
"At your current speed, no one within the Soul Venerable realm can match you."
"It's because you taught me well."
Huo Wu smiled, proudly raising her chin slightly, and didn't forget to compliment each other.
"However, don't be arrogant. Your footwork is a bit rusty. You need to practice more to get used to it."
Ye Qifeng shook his head and smiled, pointing out the shortcomings, and then said:
"The Meteor Butterfly Step is a movement technique with limitless possibilities. Its speed is beyond your imagination. Practice it well. I hope you will have fully mastered it when we meet next time."
"Hmm, I've grasped the basics," Ye Qifeng added in his mind.
The Meteor Butterfly Step was, after all, a movement technique from a high-level world in my previous life. In the fantasy world of Douluo Continent, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too thin, it cannot fully unleash its true power.
Ye Qifeng only taught Huo Wu the basic Meteor Butterfly Step; Huo Wu is currently unable to learn any higher levels of it.
"Next time we meet? Does he mean later? It seems we'll have a chance to meet again."
Huo Wu pondered Ye Qifeng's words, and a surge of joy welled up within her. She quickly nodded earnestly:
"Yes, I will. I definitely won't let you down."
"Alright, next, let's examine the Martial Soul Fusion Skill you've been longing for, shall we?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng spoke.
"Okay, what should we do?"
Although her father, Huo Hong, had taught her about the Soul Fusion Technique, Huo Wu knew nothing about how to study and practice it.
"Release your Naruto Martial Soul first."
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng had all the martial spirit theory knowledge from the Spirit Hall's archives in his mind, including practice methods for researching martial spirit fusion techniques.
With a thought, Huo Wu summoned her martial soul, Huo Ying, as instructed.
The next moment, a strikingly different fiery red shadow, identical in appearance to Huo Wu, emerged from behind Huo Wu, gradually expanding and growing to about three meters tall, hovering behind her.
The fiery red shadow, its appearance indistinct and somewhat blurry, exuded an ethereal quality. A faint layer of orange-red flames swirled across its surface, signifying top-tier fire attributes.
At the same time, three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up from beneath Huo Wu's feet, undulating slowly around her body.
Seeing that Huo Wu had already summoned her martial soul, Ye Qifeng also had a thought and summoned his own shadow martial soul.
In an instant, a humanoid martial spirit with a completely black body floated up behind him, looking exactly like Ye Qifeng's original body, but much clearer than Huo Wu's fire shadow.
Under the control of the mind.
Ye Qifeng controlled the height of the Shadow Martial Soul to be the same as the height of Huo Wu's Fire Shadow Martial Soul.
The Shadow Martial Soul floated behind Ye Qifeng, emanating a dark, gloomy light. The heat of the hot air blowing from the nearby hot spring lake was instantly dispelled by the dark light, becoming cool.
At the same time, three spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up from beneath Ye Qifeng's feet, enveloping his body and pulsating slowly.
Huo Wu stared wide-eyed at the Shadow Martial Soul behind Ye Qifeng.
At close range, the intense throbbing of the Naruto Martial Soul, with its extreme excitement, worship, and submission, fed back into Huo Wu's mind, unconsciously influencing her thoughts.
"Next, let's try fusion."
"The specific method is to first use your mind to control and transfer the spirit rings to the spirit, then control the spirit to move closer to each other, silently chant 'merge,' and at the same time light up all the spirit rings."
While telling Huo Wu the method of practicing the martial soul fusion technique in his mind, Ye Qifeng controlled the transfer of the soul rings on his body to the Shadow Martial Soul.
Huo Wu did as instructed, and her spirit rings instantly enveloped her Huo Ying martial spirit.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng stretched out his hands towards Huowu and whispered:
"Fire Dance, give me your hand."
"We haven't reached the point of perfect understanding yet. The process of fusing martial souls might be extremely difficult, and we could easily suffer a backlash if we're not careful. We can only try it out for now."
"So you need to be mentally prepared and careful. But don't worry, if anything happens, I will do my best to protect your safety."
"If we can successfully fuse them, that would be great. As for what skill we fuse them into, that's all up to fate. If we fail, that's okay too. After all, it's our first time, and failure is normal. We can just try a few more times later."
Huo Wu nodded and made a soft "hmm" sound.
Her face was a little tense, but listening to Ye Qifeng's words, she was suddenly filled with a sense of security, and her tension dissipated, gradually relaxing.
She took two small steps forward, stretched out her fair and delicate hands, and placed them in Ye Qifeng's palms.
A strange warmth instantly emanated from her palm, accompanied by an extreme sense of peace, tranquility, and comfort, leaving Huo Wu stunned.
That's the feeling.
"Hmm~~~"
"Ah, that feels so good," Huo Wu couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
At that moment, Ye Qifeng's warm voice rang in my ears:
"Fire Dancer, are you ready?"
"Ready."
Huo Wu nodded gently in response.
"Let's begin then. Don't be nervous, just do as I say."
Ye Qifeng spoke softly.
Then, the two used their minds to control their martial spirits, raising them from behind to above their heads, facing each other, and reaching out their hands to touch, just like their current posture.
Ye Qifeng had thought that spirit fusion would be very difficult, but the result was far beyond his expectations.
The moment the two martial souls, Fire Shadow and Shadow, made contact, their hands instantly fused together. They then expanded and grew taller, reaching three zhang in height, before gradually approaching each other and merging again.
Each of the two martial souls has three soul rings, which light up simultaneously.
Ultimately, the two martial souls disappeared, and a ball of black and red fire, blending together, was formed. Six soul rings floated around the black and red fire, rotating in a circle.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu's bodies below disappeared simultaneously, transforming into a black and red pillar of light that rushed into the black and red flames formed by the fusion of their martial souls above.
In a moment, from the merged black and red flames, black and red mist rose, gradually gathering and condensing. Then the mist disappeared, replaced by a black and red fire lotus, emitting a dazzling black and red light.
The fire lotus was about ten inches in size, spinning rapidly, and one could feel terrifying fluctuations of soul power emanating from it.
"Wow, this... this is only the first attempt, and it's already a success?"
The ghostly figure hidden in the shadows had been watching Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu closely. Seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded, his heart filled with disbelief and incredulity. His lips trembled for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze out this one sentence.
"What's going on? Are spirit fusion skills that easy to combine? It's done already?"
Amidst the black and red flames, Ye Qifeng was also somewhat stunned.
"Wow, what a beautiful fire lotus!"
Amidst the black and red flames, Huo Wu let out a surprised exclamation.
"Ah—we did it?!"
The next second, Huo Wu finally realized what was happening, and her voice suddenly rose as she exclaimed in a sweet voice:
"This is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!"
"It seems so."
Ye Qifeng snapped out of his daze and gave an affirmative answer.
"Shall we give it a name?"
Huo Wu said excitedly.
"Fire Dance, come and get it. This is your Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Ye Qifeng chuckled.
"No, this is our Martial Soul Fusion Skill," Huo Wu said in a melodious voice. After a few seconds of contemplation, she spoke up, "How about we call it the Radiant Fire Lotus? What do you think?"
"Okay. As you wish, let's call it—"
"The Radiant Fire Lotus!"
