Brilliant light erupted from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, dazzling the eyes of all who looked.

Within the light, the phantoms of the Bright Goddess Butterfly and Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion merged, as did Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

In a curtain of blue, gold, and green light, the giant wings of the Bright Goddess Butterfly broke free, and as cold air burst forth, a crystal-clear ice staircase formed in midair.

Down these icy steps descended a breathtakingly beautiful girl.

Her blue-pink hair flowed to her ankles, silky and radiant.

She wore a gown woven of light and frost, its hem sparkling with every step like a fairy from a dream.

She radiated gentle light, as if one with it, and the frost beneath her feet spread a noble, icy aura.

Six butterfly wings fluttered, trailing shimmering cold, beauty beyond mortal comprehension.

The audience was stunned, watching the fairy-like figure dancing amid the ice mist as if time itself had stopped.

Lu Jingming, unlike the crowd, wasn't shocked—he already knew Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong possessed this fusion skill.

But to think this beautiful girl was the fusion of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong—he found it bizarre.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and Bright Goddess Butterfly combined to create the Goddess of Light, Tang Wutong. It seemed to defy logic—didn't Douluo Continent's fusion skills have any rules at all?

Seeing the golden trident mark on her brow, Lu Jingming frowned, not forgetting that Wang Dong harbored the divine consciousness of Sea God Tang San.

"If you refuse to give up, then let me show you what true despair is," Lu Jingming said coldly.

As he spoke, his black armor dissolved into black light, reforming into his familiar black spear, releasing the fifth soul skill.

The crowd was puzzled—why would he undo his hundred-thousand-year soul skill just as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong successfully unleashed their fusion technique?

But in the next moment, their eyes widened in shock.

Lu Jingming slowly drew a white lance from the void, radiating holy light.

"Twin martial souls?"

"He has twin martial souls too!"

"How is this possible?!"

The stands erupted in discussion. All eyes turned to Lu Jingming, now holding both a black and a white holy lance.

"It's coming!" Gu Yue's eyes shone with excitement as she clenched her fist.

In an instant, a gale arose, turning into countless blades that enveloped Xu Sanshi.

They slashed madly, breaking his shield with a harsh sound, leaving him bloodied and collapsing to his knees.

Despite his sorry state, most of his injuries were superficial—Gu Yue had held back. If she hadn't wanted to focus on watching Lu Jingming, she wouldn't have gone so easy on him.

"Lu Jingming also has twin martial souls, he's so strong and so handsome!" Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Lu Jingming in adoration.

Xiao Hongchen, seeing his sister's infatuation, clenched his fists in frustration.

Remembering how Lu Jingming hadn't even used his full strength when fighting him, his pride took another blow.

Meng Hongchen's reaction only made him angrier, but he had nowhere to vent.

"Twin martial souls, hundred-thousand-year soul ring—his talent is at least on par with Huo Yuhao, if not greater!" Wang Yan adjusted his glasses, full of awe.

Shrek's current generation did have several twin martial soul geniuses—Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong—but they were still growing.

Lu Jingming was different—not yet fifteen, he could already dominate the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament with astonishing strength.

"I am the black that heads to hell, the white from heaven. I will reverse heaven and earth, restoring order to the world."

Lu Jingming raised both lances and slowly merged them, reciting a bold incantation.

Black and white light shot skyward, merging into a single, ornate black-and-white holy lance.

"Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Holy Spear Reversal!"

As Lu Jingming spoke, the black-and-white holy lance aimed at the Goddess of Light.

At the same time, the Goddess of Light raised her right hand, cold energy gathering at her fingertip, ready to unleash.

"A self fusion skill? What's that? Can one person use a fusion skill?" The crowd was in an uproar.

Especially Xiao Xiao, herself a twin martial soul, felt her worldview shatter.

She never imagined twin martial souls could be used like this—one person using a fusion skill alone.

On the main platform, Xu Jiawei stood up in shock, and Duke White Tiger Dai Hao looked grave.

In the history of soul masters, there were many twin martial soul geniuses, but never had anyone used a self fusion skill—not even the God of Rakshasa or the Sea God a millennium ago.

Lu Jingming had broken convention, using a fusion skill alone, rewriting history.

In a flash, the Goddess of Light moved like lightning toward Lu Jingming.

Where she passed, the temperature plummeted, and the ground instantly covered in thick ice like a silver carpet.

Lu Jingming smirked, gripping his black-and-white lance.

With a flick of his wrist, he thrust the lance forward, unleashing a dazzling white light.

The light collided with the Goddess's fingertip, charged with ultimate cold.

At the moment of contact, the white light surged, forming a huge sphere that enveloped the Goddess.

Inside the flawless light, her expression changed, filled with disbelief.

In that instant, all her soul power, her ultimate ice, even her pure light power, was wiped out by a powerful force.

It was as if the white light had created a vacuum where all energy ceased to exist.

Lu Jingming smiled. If struck by his self fusion skill—Holy Spear Reversal—all energy would be confined and instantly erased.

The Goddess's biggest mistake was touching the lance.

It was originally Black Abyss White Flower's secondary mode, now elevated to a fusion skill.

Moreover, Lu Jingming possessed more than one fusion technique.

Holy Spear Reversal, dominated by White Flower, was not about destruction or killing, but about limiting and erasing energy.

For the soul-power-formed Goddess of Light, it was the perfect counter.

As expected, as the white light faded, she vanished with it.

Left behind were the unconscious Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, their soul power wiped clean.

Lu Jingming glanced at them, then threw the lance, which shot away like a meteor.

At that moment, Ma Xiaotao, locked in a furious fight with Firefly, was lost in her frenzy.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest—the flames on her armor instantly extinguished, the Phoenix Armor going dark.

Ma Xiaotao stared blankly at the black-and-white lance piercing her chest, eyes full of disbelief and confusion.

In an instant, her body went limp like a cut kite and she plummeted.

"Ma Xiaotao!"

"Sister Xiaotao!"

Wang Yan and others cried out in shock, eyes wide with disbelief.

Not only Shrek's people but the spectators were left dumbfounded by the sudden turn.

No one expected Lu Jingming to strike Ma Xiaotao so ruthlessly.

"Bastard!" In a corner of the Eye of Abyss, Xuan Zi, who had been hiding, was first stunned, then his eyes turned red with rage.

Forgetting all fear of the Snow Moon Douluo, he surged with soul power, ready to storm the stage for justice.
