Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 31.2. The Golden Path VS Netherworld White Tiger

Du Weiluns facial muscles twitched as he resisted laughing out loud. Fan Yu, on the other hand, had covered his face with his hands and buried his head in his lap, acting as if he didnt recognise Qian Duoduo.

Dean Qian was an extremely outstanding person in many aspects, but he had a single shortcominghis stinginess. Because of that, he was given the extremely long nickname of lots of money, small hands, cheapskate, porcelain quail, glass rat, glazed cat in the Academy. The meaning of this nickname was that, even though he had a lot of money and resources, itd be an extremely difficult task to take anything from him. He was the very definition of the word stingy!

It was true that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had a slight edge in the match. Strength-wise, they were inferior to Dai Huabin, even if they worked together. However, Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection played a decisive role in their current situation. By relying on its powerful prediction abilities, they were able to fight with Dai Huabin without meeting him head on; all of their attacks were strategic in that they forced Dai Huabin to act defensively. Wang Dongs wings were fully unfurled under the strengthening effect of the Haodong Power, while Huo Yuhao moved around using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks, making it seem as if the two were acting as one. As Wang Dongs dazzling blue wings soared about the sky, Dai Huabin could only cry out to no avail, no matter how fiercely he attacked.

It wasnt as if he hadnt taken any risks; the problem was that his opponents seemed to be able to see through all of his plans. In the end, the only things he had to show for it were the wounds on his body. However, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were still able to ingeniously evade all of his attacks.

Dai Huabin had also been paying attention to Zhu Lus situation. At the beginning of the battle, Zhu Lu had already gone all-out, bringing her speed to the limit in an attempt to break through Xiao Xiaos wall. Because of that, her soul power consumption had been extremely large. On the other hand, Xiao Xiao, whod already formed a strategy to counter her, had consumed much less soul power than Zhu Lu. Even though shed released both of her martial souls, she was only using the first soul skill of her Ninephoenix Worshipping Flute.

Zhu Lus speed had clearly decreased, and due to the Ninephoenix Worshipping Flutes speed-inhibiting soul skill, her exhaustion was now beginning to show.

Dai Huabin had continuously used his White Tigers Vajra Transformation for the sake of maintaining his absolute advantage in attack power, but he was starting to find it difficult to manage its enormous consumption of soul power. From his point of view, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong shouldve consumed a similarly enormous amount of soul power. However, they were both seemingly still filled with energy. If the battle continued like this, he could actually lose the match.

If you have any ability, meet me head on! Dai Huabin roared angrily. He wasnt able to hold back his rage any longer.

A trace of disdain appeared on Huo Yuhaos lips. Dont you know what strategy is? Youre the son of the White Tiger Duke, yet you dont even know what strategy is. What a piece of rubbish.

A savage light flashed through Dai Huabins eyes. Suddenly, to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongs astonishment, he cancelled his White Tigers Vajra Transformation.

Although they had the assistance of Huo Yuhaos Spiritual Detection, the two of them had always avoided a direct confrontation with Dai Huabin; theyd always maintained a fixed distance between them. Even though Huo Yuhao was aware of Dai Huabins actions, their movements had slowed due to their bewilderment.

Dai Huabin didnt advance, but instead wildly retreated. The sudden change in his movements sent Huo Yuhaos trio into a daze. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao was able to tell from the circulation of Dai Huabins soul power that his actions werent a trap, but a genuine retreat.

The instant Dai Huabin turned back, Zhu Lu made a move as well. After using a Netherworld Stab on Xiao Xiao, she instantly retreated towards Dai Huabin.

What are they doing? Are they trying to recover their soul power?

Wang Dong jumped off Huo Yuhaos shoulder, while Xiao Xiao hurriedly rushed back to their side. The three of them all had puzzled looks in their eyes.

Suddenly, inexplicably, Huo Yuhaos heart began to palpitate intensely. This feeling wasnt new to him; when hed entered the Great Star Dou Forest before entering Shrek Academy, hed felt this exact feeling when he met his first soul beast. It was a mysterious premonition that came from his Spirit Eyes.

They were in a match right now, and their strange actions along with the palpitations in his heart shook Huo Yuhaos heart. He cried out involuntarily, Are they trying to release a fusion skill?

At that exact moment, Dai Huabin let out a tiger-like roar. This was followed by his body immediately expanding once again, along with white fur and black stripes frantically surging out.

Zhu Lu softly bit her teeth together, followed by her body being covered in a faint black light. Her body then floated into the air, and even seemed to have become transparent. Afterwards, she spread her arms towards Dai Huabin.

The current Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu could only see each other. Dai Huabins twin pupils had fused into a single pupil, but the grimness in his eyes still remained. Contrarily, Zhu Lus gaze had become as tranquil as water, making it seem as if she were going to melt into him.

In that instant, the auras of the White Tiger and the Netherworld Civet had fused completely, giving off an extremely mysterious feeling. The white tiger seemed to have devoured the black cat, and an intense undulation of soul power erupted from their fused body like a geyser. The two lights fused into a single entity within the golden halo, giving off a transcendent feeling.

A martial soul fusion wasnt as simple as 1+1=2. Even two identical martial souls might not possess a fusion skill, because the act of the fusion itself required the two souls to both complement each other and have perfect compatibility. When a fusion skill was released, its incarnation was definitely not just at the level of two soul masters; it was a transcendent existence.

Dai Huabin and Zhu Lus bodies vanished in the instant that the fusion occurred, leaving only an enormous White Tiger in the Assessment Area. The White Tigers body was transparent, while its fur was lined with black stripes. Its purple eyes gazed coldly at Huo Yuhaos trio.

Yes, this was the secret that belonged to the bloodline of the White Tiger Dukedom and the Zhu Family, which was also a top-ranked noble family within the Star Luo Empire; the secret of a martial soul fusion.

Almost all White Tiger Dukes were wed to a woman from the Zhu Family. This was also the case for the Dukes wife whod persecuted Huo Yuhaos mother. The reason that she was able to cover the heavens within the White Tiger Dukes Mansion wasnt just due to her own authority. It was also due to the strength of her family, as well as the large amount of strength she herself possessed!

The martial soul that belonged to the White Tiger Dukedom had a more accurate namethe Evil Eyed White Tiger. Moreover, the most distinct trait of a person who possessed the Evil Eyed White Tiger would be the two pupils in his eyes. On the other hand, there was an extremely high chance that the Evil Eyed White Tiger would have a high enough compatibility rate to perform a martial soul fusion with the Zhu Familys Netherworld Civet.

The bloodline of the White Tiger Duke had maintained a close relationship with the Zhu Family since ancient times. In the past, when the bloodline of the White Tiger Duke was still the royal family of the Star Luo Empire, the Zhu Family had inherited the position of prime ministers. Although the two families no longer held their past glory, these enormous, deeply-rooted powers still held important positions within the Star Luo Empire. Furthermore, the best tie and bridge between the Dukes Mansion and the Zhu Family were the marriages that had occurred in the past.
