"Heavens! It's a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear!" Zhang Yangzi exclaimed, his expression turning panicked.
"Class monitor, what do we do? Fight or run?" Wang Jinxi asked, his face heavy, shouting towards Jing Shaoyu.
"Jinxi, what are you thinking? This is a Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear! How could we, with our Soul Grandmasters cultivation, possibly contend with it?" Xie Xie said, speechless and helpless.
"It's too late to run now." Jing Shaoyu said, his eyes thoughtful, as he pondered, "The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is very fast. If we retreat directly, we might be chased down and defeated one by one. So, Xiao Yan, Xie Xie, Wulin, you three leave the Spirit Ascension Platform immediately. I, Gu Yue, Jinxi, and Yangzi will stay and test the strength of this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear."
"Ah? Why? I don't want to!" Xu Xiaoyan said, her pretty face immediately showing an unhappy expression. She stepped forward and grabbed Jing Shaoyu's arm, her meaning clear: she wanted to stay.
"Be good, listen!" Jing Shaoyu didn't explain further, just patted the girl's head, and then, without her noticing, pressed her SOS Beacon.
The girl disappeared instantly, leaving everyone else looking bewildered.
"Shaoyu, then we'll retreat first. Be careful!" Xie Xie and Tang Wulin said. Although they felt helpless, they had no choice, because their own strength wouldn't be of much use even if they stayed.
"We will!" Jing Shaoyu nodded.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also left, leaving only Jing Shaoyu, Gu Yue, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi. Oh, and the unhurried Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Yangzi, Jinxi, prepare for Martial Soul Fusion. Gu Yue and I will buy you time." Jing Shaoyu instructed.
"Okay!" Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement. Then, the two immediately took each other's hands, preparing to release their Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
"Roar—"
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear let out an explosive roar, then leaped into the air, landing on the open ground in front of the four. Immediately, the ground cracked like a spider web.
"Gu Yue, attack!" Jing Shaoyu shouted, then immediately raised his hand, and countless plants rushed towards the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear like flying snakes. Following the plants were fireballs, ice cones, Wind Blades, and many other elemental attacks.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear didn't care about the incoming plants. It stood up, then raised its claws, waving them. Immediately, two dark golden claw shadows appeared in the air. The plants attacking it shattered instantly, cut into countless pieces. The fireballs, ice cones, and Wind Blades behind them couldn't escape the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's claws either, and were all cut in half and dissipated.
Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue's first wave of attacks had no effect at all, which made Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie outside secretly anxious.
However, Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue weren't flustered at all. They were only trying to buy time for Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, and now, they had enough.
However, accidents always come so suddenly. Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, who should have been undergoing Martial Soul Fusion and transforming into a Dark Eagle Dragon, didn't fuse. Instead, they looked at each other in disbelief, muttering, "How could this be? Why can't we fuse?"
Jing Shaoyu was really stunned now. What's going on? Shouldn't Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi's inability to perform Martial Soul Fusion be a matter for next semester? Why can't they fuse now? Is this the powerful influence of the Gold Dragon King bloodline? "Shaoyu, Yangzi and I can't perform Martial Soul Fusion?" Wang Jinxi shouted anxiously.
"Why are you resisting me? If you weren't resisting me, we would have fused successfully!" Zhang Yangzi asked, very angry and puzzled, shouting loudly.
"I didn't! I really didn't!" Wang Jinxi felt very wronged, and defended loudly.
"You guys calm down first!" Jing Shaoyu said helplessly, "Now is not the time for you to argue!"
As if to prove Jing Shaoyu's words, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear showed its presence. It just charged and instantly arrived behind Zhang Yangzi, then raised its huge claws and struck down towards Zhang Yangzi.
"Careful!" Jing Shaoyu immediately reminded loudly, and Zhang Yangzi also felt the terrifying aura behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a huge claw smashing down on him. He subconsciously closed his eyes and gave up.
"Jinxi!" Wang Jinxi took a step and directly knocked Zhang Yangzi away, completely exposing himself to the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's blade. He only felt that the blood in his body had become cold, and his body was numb and without feeling.
"Quick, save him!" The staff in the control room immediately became busy, hurriedly lifting Wang Jinxi out of the landing pod. Fortunately, this was only in the Spirit Ascension Platform, so Wang Jinxi was not seriously injured, only his consciousness was stimulated and he needed some time to recover before he could wake up.
Wu Zhangkong's expression became a little unsightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Jinxi!" Zhang Yangzi stared blankly at the place where Wang Jinxi disappeared, his expression extremely sad, and his eyes were also full of hatred when he looked at the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Yangzi, don't get excited!" Jing Shaoyu immediately rushed in front of Zhang Yangzi, held him back, and reminded him, "This is the Spirit Ascension Platform. Jinxi has only left the Spirit Ascension Platform, he'll be fine!"
"I know!" Zhang Yangzi nodded, then looked at Jing Shaoyu and said, "Class Monitor, I'm preparing to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"Alright!" Jing Shaoyu didn't stop him, because without a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Zhang Yangzi couldn't actually provide much more help.
As Zhang Yangzi also withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform, now only Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue remained in the Spirit Ascension Platform, directly facing that Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, while Xu Xiaoyan outside watched them with worry.
Gu Yue came to Jing Shaoyu's side, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder. The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear stood in front of them, the distance between them less than twenty meters. The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear only needed a sprint to instantly reach them and kill them.
However, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear seemed willing to play a little longer, so its movements were unhurried, and its small eyes were full of the pleasure and excitement of toying with its prey. Perhaps in its view, Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue could not pose a threat to it.
Unfortunately, this Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear would eventually pay the price for its arrogance, and that price would be its life.
Gu Yue took the initiative to take Jing Shaoyu's hand, their hands tightly clasped together, fingers intertwined. Gu Yue's body bloomed with seven-colored light, and Jing Shaoyu's body bloomed with emerald green light. The two kinds of light blended together, gradually forming a bright silver light.
"This is... a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?" In the control room, the Spirit Pagoda staff looked at the two gradually merging on the screen in great surprise, and exclaimed.
The members of Class Zero were also very surprised. They had just learned that Jing Shaoyu and Gu Yue actually possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
"Gu Yue and Shaoyu actually have a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!" Xie Xie said with a suddenly enlightened expression, "No wonder she treats Shaoyu differently. It turns out it's not because Shaoyu is handsome, but because of the connection between their Martial Souls!"
Tang Wulin gently pushed Xie Xie, who was puzzled. Tang Wulin pointed to Xu Xiaoyan next to him, and Xie Xie instantly understood, immediately wisely shutting his mouth.
Xu Xiaoyan's face was a little pale, her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and her small mouth was tightly pursed. A feeling of sadness and jealousy welled up in her heart uncontrollably, and her two small hands tightly grasped the corners of her clothes.
In the silver light, a giant dragon covered in seven-colored dragon scales appeared. The dragon's temperament was ancient and long, as if it had traveled against the current of time. Its posture was handsome and strong, like an artwork carved with knives and axes. Its dragon wings spread out, like two gorgeous rainbows, triggering a rich elemental tide. The dragon's head had a pair of jade-like dragon horns, and its dragon eyes were actually heterochromatic, one green and one silver.
The giant dragon was over fifteen meters long, standing in front of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, looking down at it. A trace of fear flashed in the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's eyes. It felt the threat of death from this suddenly appearing giant dragon.
"Roar—" The seven-colored giant dragon let out a high-pitched dragon roar. As its dragon roar sounded, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear suddenly felt a huge pressure descend upon it, making its breathing become very stagnant.
A hexagram array appeared under the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's feet. The hexagram array erupted with a burst of dazzling light, instantly enveloping the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. The hexagram array existed for a very short time, less than three seconds, but when the hexagram array disappeared, the originally lively Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear was lying on the ground, the entire bear becoming extremely weak, its fur no longer bright and shiny, but full of traces of fire, ice, wind, and earth.
"Woo~" The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear let out a weak whimper, its eyes revealing a strong look of fear.
It was afraid, it was really scared!
