Chapter 15 Soul Fusion, the Transformation of Martial Soul Fusion!
Inside a luxury suite at the Shrek Grand Hotel.
The curtains were tightly drawn, and the only light in the room came from the faint glow emitted by the flow of soul power.
Zhu Lu stood by the bed, her fingers trembling slightly as she unbuttoned her school uniform.
She usually wore a smart and practical outfit, but now she had changed into a dark purple silk nightgown with a low neckline that revealed her fair and delicate collarbone.
"Hua Bin, I always feel like this is a dream."
Zhu Lu turned around, and her nightgown slipped down gently.
Beneath the partially concealed silk was black lace lingerie.
The lines of an agility-type Soul Master are highly defined and taut; their toned abdomen rises and falls slightly with each breath, without an ounce of excess fat.
Those long, slender legs gleamed with an ivory-like texture in the dim light.
Dai Huabin sat down behind her and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Zhu Lu shrank back slightly, then leaned back into his arms, her voice barely audible:
"These past few days, I've been able to sense your feelings. If you want it, I don't want to wait any longer."
I have wronged you in the past.
Dai Huabin felt the warmth in her arms, his chin resting on her shoulder.
"But from now on, I will never let you down."
Zhu Lu turned around and hooked her arms around his neck. At that moment, their martial spirits burst forth uncontrollably.
The white tiger's ferocity and the spirit cat's coldness intertwined wildly in the confined space. This fusion, which was not deliberately guided, was more intense than ever before.
The sea of spirits resonated, the power of the soul surged, and all barriers completely dissolved at this moment.
Dai Huabin lowered his head and kissed him.
...
After a long while, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto the messy bed, Dai Huabin slowly opened his eyes.
He felt that the bottleneck that had been blocking his body had completely disappeared, and his soul power was surging wildly through his meridians like a flood breaking through a dam.
Level 33.
Moreover, he felt an unprecedented clarity in his spiritual sea, a transformation resulting from the simultaneous peak of his soul and body.
Dai Huabin could sense that the fusion of the two martial spirits had reached a perfect level.
It seems that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, has changed.
But Dai Huabin didn't think much of it. At that moment, Zhu Lu in his arms was still asleep, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
However, her soul power fluctuated, and it was clear that Zhu Lu had also broken through to level one, reaching level twenty-six.
Dai Huabin lowered his head and kissed Zhu Lu on the forehead. Even in her sleep, the girl had a satisfied smile on her lips.
...
Two days pass in the blink of an eye.
Shrek Academy was shrouded in a light mist in the early morning, and the air was filled with the unique moisture and freshness of Poseidon Lake.
Downstairs in the freshman dormitory, beside that big tree, Dai Huabin, wearing a brand-new white school uniform, with his hands in his pockets, was leisurely kicking pebbles at his feet.
Compared to two days ago, his aura was much more restrained, but the occasional glint in his eyes made the passing students dare not look him in the eye.
"Hua Bin".
A soft call rang out.
Zhu Lu ran out of the dormitory building.
She looked exceptionally radiant today, her black hair tied in a ponytail swaying behind her head. Her usually cool face now resembled a red apple glistening with morning dew, and her gaze towards Dai Huabin held not only her usual gentleness but also a deep affection.
"Let's go to Class 9. Today is Teacher Mu's first class."
Dai Huabin took Zhu Lu's hand very naturally. Zhu Lu lowered her head shyly, her fingertips intertwining tightly with his.
Shortly after, Cui Yajie also came out. Her long pink hair stood out in the crowd.
She looked at the two people standing side by side, and when she saw Zhu Lu's unusually rosy complexion, a sly glint flashed in her foxy eyes.
"Tsk tsk, your seclusion these past two days has been quite effective, hasn't it?"
Cui Yajie leaned close to Zhu Lu's ear and teased her in a low voice,
"Lulu, your current soul power fluctuations... aren't they a bit too much?"
"Ya Jie, don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Lu's face turned even redder, and she subconsciously shrank behind Dai Huabin.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Dai Huabin spoke up to stop Cui Yajie's teasing.
Not long after, Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao also appeared.
Wang Dong'er remained as arrogant as ever, but when she saw Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's tightly clasped hands, she couldn't help but purse her lips and mutter a curse:
"How cloying is this so early in the morning?"
"Envious? If you're envious, find one too."
Dai Huabin made a joke, ignoring Wang Dong'er's furious reaction, and led the four stunning beauties towards the teaching building.
Now that the class has been changed, Dai Huabin is in charge of this freshman class nine.
...
Meanwhile, in the classroom of Class 1, freshmen.
Zhou Yi sat behind the podium with a gloomy face, clutching a list in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.
"Okay, very good."
She squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, like sandpaper rubbing against a tabletop.
"Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao."
Zhou Yi looked at the words "transfer class" on the sign and sneered repeatedly.
"Desert before school even starts. With that kind of mentality, no matter how talented you are, you'll just be a good-for-nothing in the future!"
She crumpled the list into a ball and threw it angrily into the trash can in the corner.
"When the freshman assessment comes, I'll have the students who stayed in Class One show them what a real monster is!"
...
The first floor of the freshman teaching building, on the left side.
This is the classroom of Class 9, the freshman class.
Unlike the serious and oppressive atmosphere of Class 1, Class 9 was already noisy even before class started.
The students gathered in small groups to chat and get to know each other.
When Dai Huabin and his group of five appeared at the door, the previously noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
For no other reason than that the lineup is simply too luxurious.
Dai Huabin walked at the front, with blond hair and sinister eyes, exuding an air of nobility.
He scanned the classroom, his gaze precisely locking onto the last row, by the window.
"Let's go, over there."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the five of them walked straight through the corridor.
"Who's that? He's so handsome!"
"I haven't seen them before. It doesn't seem like they were from our class who reported yesterday."
"That girl with light blue hair is so pretty! Oh my god, that girl with black hair has such a great figure!"
Discussions rose and fell.
Dai Huabin ignored the gossip and casually sat down in the back row by the window.
Zhu Lu naturally sat at his desk, Cui Yajie sat in the front row, and Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao sat in the next group.
As soon as he sat down, Dai Huabin felt two gazes coming from the other side of the classroom.
He turned his head to look.
Two girls were sitting in the middle of the classroom, near the front.
One of them had short, ear-length hair, fair skin like jade, exquisitely delicate features, and a gentle and elegant temperament, yet she also possessed an innate air of nobility.
She was wearing Shrek's school uniform, but the priceless gemstone bracelet on her wrist gave away her identity.
Beside her sat a red-haired girl with a voluptuous figure and a fierce and irritable air about her, who was watching Dai Huabin warily.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
The young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and her personal bodyguard.
Dai Huabin smiled slightly and nodded gently to Ning Tian as a greeting.
Ning Tian was clearly taken aback.
She hadn't expected the blond boy who had just entered to be so perceptive, and so composed when faced with her probing gaze.
"Young Master, that guy is a bit arrogant." Wu Feng frowned and said in a low voice, "Look at the way he looks at you, as if he knows you."
"He's not simple."
Ning Tian withdrew his gaze and lightly tapped his fingers on the table.
"Dai Huabin from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. I've seen the freshman roster; he's one of the three Soul Masters in this year's freshmen, and also the strongest one."
"Soul Master?" Wu Feng's pupils contracted slightly. "That pretty boy?"
"Don't underestimate your opponent."
Ning Tian said calmly,
"And look at the girls around him, they all have a strong presence. Especially the one with the pink and blue hair, she gives me a very dangerous feeling."
Just then, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from the classroom doorway.
"Da, da, da."
The students who had been whispering immediately shut their mouths and sat up straight.
Mu Jin walked onto the stage wearing a well-tailored beige dress.
