Chapter 23 - 23. Charm Demon

"Nana, summon your martial soul," Xie Yue said as he also summoned his martial soul.

Behind Hu Liena, a fluffy fox appeared. With the appearance of her martial spirit, her charm also increased.

On Xie Yue's side, crescent-shaped red moon blades appeared in each of his hands.

After summoning his martial spirit, he moved near Nana, his arms unfolding. Then, unexpectedly, he body-tackled Nana's back.

A screen of red light appeared, spreading. The instant the two of them collided, the red light unexpectedly wrapped them together. At the same time, the red light turned into a red fog, spreading within a one-meter radius. The red light flickered, and the original two people had turned into one— a person with lightly floating long hair and an indistinguishable gender.

Their hair had turned white-red, and this silhouette, formed from Xie Yue and Hu Liena, danced quietly. The two moon blades had doubled in size, cutting with splendor like flowing rainbows.

Indeed, this was their martial soul fusion—Charm Demon.

All four people in the room watched in astonishment. After that, their faces showed uncontrollable joy.

"Martial soul fusion skill!" Everyone said at the same time, joyfully.

"And it is also the first humanoid fusion I've seen," Bone Douluo said.

Martial soul fusion ability—it was a divine ability. Even though there were still around ten martial soul fusion skills in the current era, there was only one Title Douluo-level fusion ability: Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

But these little devils not only had innate full cultivation talent but also a martial soul fusion ability.

At that instant, the four people made a decision in their hearts. They were going to hide these two here. The world was not allowed to know about their talent until they became Title Douluo…

The four of them bid farewell to the duo and hurried toward the main hall to discuss Xie Yue and Hu Liena's future.

Xie Yue watched them leave without saying anything. In his mind, countless thoughts were already spinning wildly.

Inside the main hall

After thinking for a while, Ning Fengzhi said to them,

"Since no one knows about their martial soul awakening, let's hide them as well."

"But Fengzhi, what about their schooling?"

Bone Douluo asked.

"Uncle Bone, you know what will happen if their talent is leaked, right? There will be many people trying to assassinate them. If another sect had geniuses like them, we would have done the same. No one wants others to cultivate talented children."

"Old Bone, what happened to you? Why are you asking stupid questions like that?" Sword Douluo looked at Bone Douluo as if he were a fool.

"Hehehe," Bone Douluo smiled innocently.

"We can teach them ourselves. We have a rich knowledge reserve—is there any Academy better than us? Although they will miss out on Academy life, for their safety, we can only make them understand," Ning Fengzhi added.

"As for combat training, we can let them go to the Soul Fighting Arena under an anonymous identity. Or we can teach them ourselves," Sword Douluo said after thinking for a long time.

"But won't staying in the same place affect their growth? What if they become emotionally unstable? We can't treat the kids like prisoners," Ning Fengzhi's wife objected.

"It's not like they can't go out… They just have to keep their talent hidden. They can do whatever they want as long as they don't reveal their martial soul," Ning Fengzhi said again.

"Ahh~ Husband, why are you being like this?" She still felt unwilling; every child should have the freedom to live their life freely.

"Dear~ it's not like you don't understand the severity of the matter. And if we keep them hidden, they will also become the sharpest hidden sword of our sect. They have immense potential—we can't let them be in danger," Ning Fengzhi said, trying to convince his wife.

She sighed in her heart upon hearing his words. Even though everything he said seemed to be for the children's well-being, in truth, they were just high-sounding words. At the core, he didn't care about the children that much. What he truly wanted was for them to serve his sect loyally. She knew her husband very well…

Because of her maternal heart, she felt a little unconvinced. So, she decided to shower them with her love. That was all she could do for them.

"Fengzhi, I've decided to teach Moon myself. I don't think I will find a talented sword successor in the future. So before my death, I might as well take him as my disciple and impart my knowledge to him. After all, he is also a blade martial spirit soul master," Sword Douluo said after thinking about it.

"Well… You can decide on that matter, Uncle,"

Fengzhi replied.

"Mmm… I'll take them to hunt for their soul rings tomorrow. I'll talk with him at that time," Sword Douluo made his decision.

"Yeah, we can't delay their practice. We must also teach them the cultivation technique today," Fengzhi said. He was very concerned about their cultivation. For that, he wouldn't mind spending anything… To create a loyal sword, one must be generous.

"Husband~ I'll teach them myself. I also want to give them some things," his wife volunteered for the task. Ning Fengzhi also knew his wife's nature, so he took out two storage soul tools and handed them to her.

"Give these to them on my behalf while you're at it, dear~" Ning Fengzhi said, giving her the soul tools.

"Mm~" She bid farewell and left.
