Xu Xiaoyan walked up to Gu Yuena, hugged her right arm, and teased, "Gu Yue, we were just discussing Fusion, Xie Xie said he wanted to give it a try!"
Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulously at Xie Xie, "Xie Xie? With his spiritual power, trying to fuse these weak Life Forces together is probably going to be difficult!"
The latter coughed, "Well, Gu Yue, at least leave me some face, okay? Fusin' Life Force and all that, I was just talkin' big!"
Yue Zhengyu couldn't help but interject, "Xie Xie, what's the big deal? We've all been friends for so many years, Gu Yue's just telling it like it is!"
Xie Xie glared at the former, rebuking, "Zheng Yu, why don't you shut it, huh? If you're so capable, you try!"
Yue Zhengyu lifted his chin proudly, "What's the big deal? If it's up to me, then I'm up for it!"
His own spiritual power, after all, was somewhat stronger than Xie Xie's!
Having said that, he then turned his gaze to the others...
Tang Wulin covered his forehead, responding somewhat euphemistically, "Well... Zheng Yu, to be honest, you can't either!"
"Your spiritual power may be stronger than Xie Xie's, but fusing these Life Forces is still too difficult!"
"Right, Gu Yue?"
Gu Yuena did not hesitate to respond...
"Indeed, as Wulin said, even Zheng Yu cannot manage to fuse these Life Forces!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Xinglan couldn't help but snort with laughter...
The others did the same...
Xie Xie, shifting from his previous frustration, said sarcastically, "See, Zheng Yu, even you can't manage it, can't!!"
The emphasis was clearly placed on the last two words...
Yue Zhengyu, sensing the underlying meaning, gritted his teeth and retorted, "You're the one that can't, your whole family can't!!"
He was a man, how could he possibly not be up to it!!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and interjected, "Alright, everyone stop bickering. If we're talking about fusing these Life Forces, even Gu Yue and I can't do it alone!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes widened, "What? Even with your and Gu Yue's spiritual power, you still can't do it? Just how monstrous is the Life Force left by Teacher Xu!"
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips, "Monstrously good, that means the effect of the fused Life Force will be monstrously powerful!!"
Yuanen Yehui's mouth twitched, "Xing Lan, I always feel such words shouldn't come from your mouth!"
"But, Wulin, according to what you're saying, doesn't that mean we need to work together to fuse the Life Force?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, "No need, Gu Yue and I together will be enough. As for the rest of you, we'll need your help as protectors."
"After all, the time needed to fuse the Life Force is not going to be short!"
At this moment, Gu Yuena also expressed her concern with a solemn tone, "That's right, if we're interrupted halfway, let alone the Fusion failing, we might even suffer backlash!"
It was then she truly understood just how formidable Teacher Xu's strength had been.
Merely the remnants of some Life Force contained such a terrifying power!
Yue Zhengyu patted his chest, "No problem, with us acting as protectors, no one, no matter who they are, will be able to disturb you all!!"
Xie Xie, for once in agreement, said, "Right, we're not the same as we used to be. Just any one of us is now a Hyper Douluo, or even an Ultimate Douluo, so which nutcase would dare pick a fight!"
Yuanen Yehui summoned his Martial Soul, his face expressionless, "Wulin, Gu Yue, go ahead and fuse with confidence. The rest we will handle!"
Having received affirmative responses, Tang Wulin then turned to Gu Yuena, "Now that that's settled, let's not delay any further, Gu Yue. Let's start the fusion of Life Force!"
She nodded slightly, then released her Soul Power, drawing the Life Force within everyone else's palms to the space before her…
As this Life Force converged, it became visibly unstable, trembling incessantly…
"Wulin, I'm starting!"
Having said that, she concentrated all her Soul Power into her hands and forcibly gathered the trembling Life Force in the center of her palms, slowly sitting down…
Seeing this, Tang Wulin also stepped behind her and channeled his own Soul Power into Gu Yuena's body…
At that moment, the fusion truly began!!
Yuanen Yehui retracted her gaze, reminding everyone, "Let's not just stand around, everyone. Just in case, let's use our Soul Power to construct a massive protective barrier to prevent any influence on Wulin and the others!"
Hearing this, everyone intuitively extended their hands, releasing their Soul Power…
The substantial Soul Power spread out, forming a solid Soul Power Barrier…
Even for a Super Douluo level powerhouse, breaking it would be as hard as climbing to the heavens!!

At Shrek Academy, on Sea God's Island!
Cai Yue'er sighed with her hands clasped behind her back, "A week has already passed, and I never imagined that collecting Xu Sheng's Life Force would be so difficult!"
Elder Ya'li nodded slightly beside her, "Indeed, if it weren't for Lizhi taking the initiative to contact us, we might have thought something had happened!"
Yuan En Zhentian shook his head, "Elder Cai, Elder Ya'li, you worry too much. I had already said that Wulin and his friends are quite powerful, not just anyone dares to provoke them!"
"There's no need for such concern!"
Lan Muzi couldn't help but laugh, "Is that so? Elder Yuan'en, If I remember correctly, weren't you the most anxious at the time?"
Yuan En Zhentian's expression instantly stiffened, and he stroked his beard with a cough, "Cough cough, that was… I was just worried about Ye Hui, she is my granddaughter after all!"
Tang Yinmeng seized the opportunity to pat Lan Muzi's shoulder, suggesting, "Mu Zi, when will you change this habit? Saying such things at these times can make Elder Yuan'en very embarrassed!"
To which he rolled his eyes, "Yin Meng, don't you do the same?"
Cai Yue'er glanced back at Lan Muzi, "By the way, Mu Zi, any progress on the information about the Douling Empire that I asked you to look into?"
He snapped back to reality and replied truthfully, "It's strange to say, but ever since the Ghost Emperor turned all the Soul Masters in the Douling Empire into Evil Soul Masters, he hasn't issued any orders to attack other empires!"
"He has just commanded them to stay within the borders of the Douling Empire!"
Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Oh? Keeping Evil Soul Masters within the Douling Empire? That seems like a good thing for the Soul Land!"
That way, it would give the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda ample buffer time!!
However, Elder Ya'li firmly disagreed, "That might not be true. If the Ghost Emperor hasn't taken any action, it's probably because he's brewing an even bigger conspiracy, we must not let our guard down!"
"Otherwise, by the time the Evil Soul Masters start to act, it will be too late!"
