"Yan'er, let's wait a little longer."
Lin Feng turned to comfort Dugu Yan.
"With our current strength, we're still not strong enough to freely roam this continent."
"…Fine."
Dugu Yan lowered her gaze and nodded reluctantly.
Lin Feng was right—but the lectures lately had been terribly boring.
Maybe in the future, she could talk to Lin Feng about doing sothing more interesting?
Actually… even just skipping class together to go back to the dorms and practice martial soul fusion would be nice.
At that thought, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Lin Feng turned his attention back to both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Since the Shi Mo brothers had just received excellent trait updates, he was curious to see what kind of traits Yan'er and Lingling would get.
"System, refresh traits."
He silently recited the command in his mind.
[Ding! Traits refreshed.]
teor Flash (Purple): You can summon a streak of starlight to descend and strike enemies.
Eternal Wargod (Purple): You will never age naturally, and your strength will always remain at its peak.
Clear Sky Hamr (Purple): You possess the top-tier martial soul, Clear Sky Hamr.
…
After reading through the newly refreshed traits, Lin Feng was a bit disappointed.
None of them stood out as truly exceptional.
He sighed.
Sigh, looks like we'll have to wait another half a year before trying again.
Shaking off the thought, Lin Feng looked toward the two Shi Mo brothers sitting on the floor.
At that mont—
Their bodies had begun to emit a dark green glow, growing steadily brighter.
Lin Feng imdiately understood: the increase in martial soul fusion compatibility was beginning.
Even the fusion between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Hell White Tiger in the original story only reached about 70%. The highest known fusion compatibility recorded was the Golden Iron Triangle Spirit Fusion, which reached a staggering 99%.
Two Soul Sages and one Senior Soul Master were able to go head-to-head with a Titled Douluo.
That's terrifying power.
Although Lin Feng no longer possessed the [Universal Fusion] trait, his deep bond with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling still allowed them to achieve a trinity martial soul fusion, albeit only around 80% compatibility.
He wondered just how powerful a true 100% fusion could be.
Watching the Shi Mo brothers intently, Lin Feng suddenly noticed their Black Turtle martial souls fully activating, causing their shells to rapidly shift.
The previously modest-sized shells swelled dramatically in size, and in re seconds, the two of them were fully enclosed within.
What followed was a long and focused phase of absorbing the immortal herb.
Lin Feng, watching their ditation, casually called over Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to sit beside him and finish their dinner.
After eating, he decided to try cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill he had just acquired.
Inside his body, his soul power flow went from the unsteady steps of a toddler to the clumsy but stable gait of a young child—its circulation clearly more refined.
It even mildly accelerated his overall cultivation speed.
This was largely due to the intelligence-based traits he'd acquired over ti—like [Lightning Reading], [Flight Master], and [Dragon-Seeking Compass], among others.
His intelligence had already reached a remarkable level, so comprehending the Mysterious Heaven Skill ca quite naturally.
"Solid fundantals, but still room for improvent. I'll make so adjustnts later," Lin Feng comnted, satisfied.
He had a feeling it wouldn't take long to fully master it.
He continued cultivating.

After about an hour, the pale green glow around the Shi Mo brothers finally faded.
"Lin Feng, Yan'er, Lingling—we've both broken through Rank 30!"
They opened their eyes with joy and jumped up, elated.
"That's great! Congratulations!"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rushed over to congratulate them. Lin Feng stood at the back with a smile of genuine happiness.
"Boss, watch our performance!"
Shi Mo couldn't contain his excitent and imdiately pulled his younger brother into a martial soul fusion.
A flash of light lit the room.
The two fused almost instantly, leaving behind a man who closely resembled both brothers.
Lin Feng's jaw dropped slightly.
What…? Is this a martial soul fusion… in human form?
Ye Lingling was stunned, eyes wide, and pointed at the figure.
"Wha—what is that?! A human-shaped martial soul fusion?!"
"What's going on with you two?!"
"Hahaha—no rush, Boss Yan."
The man grinned, his voice a perfect blend of Shi Mo brothers tones.
Clearly thrilled, he announced,
"There's sothing even more surprising."
"Martial Soul Possession!"
As the words fell, the man underwent a beast-like transformation—fused with the Black Turtle martial soul. His fra bulked up, limbs morphed into powerful beast limbs, and a massive turtle shell ford over his back.
In his hand appeared a giant, solid shield.
The Black Turtle martial soul allowed the user to manifest a Black Turtle Shield—
But now, he could perform both Martial Soul Possession and summon the shield simultaneously!
And that wasn't all.
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—buzz—"
Four yellow soul rings rose slowly beneath his feet, spinning in place.
"This is our 100% martial soul fusion form! We retain our human shape, possess dual soul rings, and can use all our soul skills freely."
"Our soul power even rose to Rank 45! Hahaha! Once we get our third soul ring, we'll have six in total."
"We've decided to na him—Shi Mo Mo! What do you think?"
Shi Mo raised a proud brow.
Lin Feng and the others stared silently at him.
Though they were impressed with the fusion, none of them were in the mood to comnt.
"…Alright, now that you've shown off, let's head out."
"It's already dark outside."
"I'm exhausted~ Going back to sleep," Dugu Yan said, yawning.
"Yeah, ti to turn in," Ye Lingling followed.
"Wait—wait! Don't leave yet!"
"I haven't finished my dinner!"
Shi Mo Mo hurriedly ran back to the table and began inhaling the leftover food.
"…Damn. I've only got one mouth."
Realizing how slow the eating was in fusion form, he quickly deactivated it, splitting back into Shi Mo brothers.
The two brothers wolfed down their food together.
"Take your ti, we'll wait," Lin Feng said, chuckling with the others as they sat back down.

Lin Feng looked out the second-floor window.
There were only a few students left in the cafeteria now.
Just then, a new idea struck him.
Only refreshing traits for those close to ans the odds of getting great ones remain low. What if… I try refreshing the traits of everyone left here in the cafeteria?
And if any of them get outstanding traits, I could try recruiting them!
That would expand my influence much faster, wouldn't it?
The thought ignited his interest.
He looked down at the remaining diners, and with a silent command, triggered mass trait refreshes.
[Ding! Trait refresh complete.]
Lin Feng eagerly scanned the results—
But unfortunately, no purple-tier traits showed up. A few white-tier traits did upgrade to green, though.
He sighed.
That's disappointing…
Maybe I should try again another ti—could be the timing or the small number of people around.
He wisely chose not to swap any of their traits to avoid causing trouble.
"Lin Feng? What's wrong?"
"Why the sigh?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"…Nothing," he replied with a shake of his head.
"I'm done eating—let's go!"
Shi Mo suddenly raised a hand and wiped his mouth.
The group left their booth, the table a total ss behind them.
As they reached the cafeteria entrance…
A tall, thin, fair-skinned young man brushed past them.
Lin Feng instinctively turned to look.
Why would soone co to eat this late…?
