In the bamboo forest, Yan Hu and Ying Zi sat cross-legged within the woods, five meters apart.

Wisps of ethereal soul force circled around the two, filling the entire bamboo forest with a heavy atmosphere.

Buzzing sounds!

Suddenly, Yan Hu's entire body trembled with soul force, uncontrollably rampaging everywhere!

At this moment, two souls in his sea of consciousness were slowly merging. However, due to insufficient soul force, the fusion abruptly halted halfway, and the two souls were slowly separating!

Yan Hu frowned tightly, veins bulging on his face from exertion, as his whole body's spiritual power suddenly circulated.

Roar!

A tiger's roar echoed in Yan Hu's sea of consciousness.

A phantom of a purple tiger appeared in Yan Hu's sea of consciousness, its paws clutching the two souls, forcefully pressing them toward each other!

Buzzing sounds!

The faces of the two souls were filled with unbearable pain, yet they persisted through clenched teeth, with their soul force continuously dissipating.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed as a crack appeared in Yan Hu's sea of consciousness!

"Yan Hu! Don't force the fusion!"

Ying Zi suddenly opened her eyes and shouted in a low voice.

As a practitioner primarily cultivating the soul, Ying Zi immediately sensed Yan Hu's actions and spoke to stop him.

"No! The Young Master has already comprehended the Great Dao, and Xuan Long has become a strong cultivator of the Semi Divine Infant Realm, I can't fall behind!"

Yan Hu squeezed out a sentence through his clenched teeth.

A complex expression appeared in Ying Zi's eyes as she gave Yan Hu a deep look and gritted her teeth.

Buzz!

A burst of pure soul force flew from Ying Zi's body, drilling towards Yan Hu's forehead!

"Foolishness!"

A voice of anger rang out.

Buzz!

A strong soul force blocked Yan Hu's forehead, keeping out the soul force separated by Ying Zi.

"Ying Zi, even if you separate your soul, obliterate your consciousness, this soul force cannot be absorbed by Hu Zi, take it back! Focus on merging your soul, leave Hu Zi to me!"

Jiang Chen glared at Ying Zi fiercely.

Seeing Jiang Chen appear, Ying Zi looked delighted and quickly retracted her soul force, focusing completely on soul fusion.

With Jiang Chen present, Ying Zi was confident Yan Hu would be fine!

"Hu Zi, you're being reckless!"

Jiang Chen turned to scold Yan Hu.

Buzz!

Jiang Chen's brow glowed, and the True Dragon Martial Spirit appeared, rushing into Yan Hu's forehead.

At the same time, from Jiang Chen's Dantian emerged a thumb-sized second soul, also rushing into Yan Hu's forehead.

In Yan Hu's sea of consciousness.

Roar!

A dragon's roar sounded, and the True Dragon Martial Spirit fiercely swung its dragon tail, swatting the tiger phantom aside.

"Hu Zi, what are you doing? Just because you can't keep up with my strength, you would risk your life?"

Jiang Chen's second soul appeared, loudly rebuking.

"Young Master, following you is my reason for existence, I..."

Regretful expressions appeared in the eyes of Yan Hu's two souls, bowing their heads deeply.

Buzzing sounds!

The soul force on the two souls continuously dissipated and they gradually separated.

Seeing Yan Hu's soul state, a look of anger mixed with helplessness appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Tear!

A sound of tearing echoed as Jiang Chen's second soul directly tore off his left arm, hurling it to the True Dragon Martial Spirit before the soul force could dissipate.

The True Dragon Martial Spirit hesitated for a moment, opened its mouth, and swallowed Jiang Chen's second soul's left arm.

"Young Master, you..."

Yan Hu raised his head at the sound, exclaiming in shock at Jiang Chen's actions.

"Hu Zi, remember, haste makes waste! Never do this again, your combat power now is no less than any Semi Divine Infant cultivator; you don't... never mind!"

Jiang Chen shook his head gently, saying, "Never rashly breakthrough again, you are my brother, not my subordinate, no need to always follow my footsteps."

"What you need is your own life, the reason I no longer bring you along is not because I despise your lower strength, but because I've noticed you've lost yourself."

"This is the greatest taboo for a Martial Artist, remember, to forge your own path of the Martial Artist, to find your own martial way, this is the truest path for a Martial Artist!"

Yan Hu was taken aback.

Since Jiang Chen broke through to the Saint Realm, he'd stopped bringing Yan Hu along, making Yan Hu feel abandoned. He secretly decided he must quickly breakthrough to keep up with Jiang Chen.

But he had never truly thought, when had Jiang Chen ever abandoned his brothers!

"Absorb the soul force, complete the soul fusion, if you act recklessly again, I'll have you patrol the sea with the Swift Wind Pirate Group!"

Jiang Chen glared at Yan Hu with annoyance.

Roar!

The True Dragon Martial Spirit opened its mouth, spraying a majestic and pure soul force toward Yan Hu's two souls.

"Young Master, you absorb it, you..."

Yan Hu hurriedly spoke.

"Silence!"

Jiang Chen's second soul glared at Yan Hu, and with a shudder, his left arm regrew.

"What? Has your wings hardened, you won't even listen to me? If you don't absorb this soul force and complete the fusion, I, Jiang Chen, won't recognize you as a brother, you can go wherever you please!"

Jiang Chen's second soul scolded, disappearing from Yan Hu's sea of consciousness in a flash, along with the True Dragon Martial Spirit that had just expelled all the soul force.

Yan Hu's souls were momentarily dazed, instinctively starting to absorb the abundant pure soul force. To leave Jiang Chen's side would be worse than death!

In the bamboo forest.

Jiang Chen returned with his Martial Soul and second soul, his face suddenly turning pale.

Seeing Yan Hu and Ying Zi exuding a soul aura, a look of helplessness appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

How could he not understand the thoughts of these old brothers, but... he couldn't just stop progressing to wait for them!

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's figure leaped into the air, gesturing towards Ye Jingyi and others near the villa to indicate Yan Hu and Ying Zi were fine, sitting in midair cross-legged, exuding a powerful aura to guard them.

Seeing Jiang Chen's gesture, Ye Jingyi and others relaxed, realizing Jiang Chen was protecting them, implying Yan Hu and Ying Zi's fusion might take some time, so they returned to the villa.

Buzzing sounds!

Three days later, two almost simultaneous bursts of soul aura emanated in the bamboo forest, and Yan Hu and Ying Zi opened their eyes at the same time.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen landed from the sky, gave the two a glance, "You both, one had insufficient soul force to force the second soul merger, and the other dared to split your soul force during the second soul fusion, what were you thinking? That's no way to seek death!"

"Young Master, I'm sorry!"

"Young Master, I was wrong!"

Both Yan Hu lowered their heads, speaking full of apology, especially Yan Hu, filled with deep regret.

Self-dividing a soul is extremely painful, and the soul divided requires more soul force to compensate.

Jiang Chen this time, suffered quite a loss indeed!
