After bidding farewell to Kexiao, Jiu Ling burst into the men's room without a moment's pause, "Xia Mu, Hei Feng, you two come with me right now."

"Where to?" Xia Mu had a bad feeling.

"Stop asking so many questions, just come."

"Alright, alright, I got it, princess."

Thus, amidst Xia Mu's complaints, the two were almost 'invited' out of the room by Jiu Ling's half-push and half-drag. After a brief introduction by Jiu Ling, Xia Mu was left speechless, and even Hei Feng displayed skepticism.

"Fusion!?"

The room echoed with Hei Feng and Xia Mu's bewilderment.

"Correct, simply put, it's about merging two people together. The specific method is as I just mentioned, and your abilities might be fully enhanced after fusion."

"You...you..." Xia Mu pointed at the air, momentarily at a loss for words, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Kexiao," Jiu Ling sighed softly and explained, "It was Kexiao who said this, I'm not entirely sure either, surely you wouldn't want me, a female, to fuse with you men, right."

Hei Feng and Xia Mu exchanged a glance... Xia Mu said, "True, but won't there be any risks or some kind of side effects?"

"None at all, at least that's what Kexiao told me."

Without any side effects and potentially enhancing their power, not to mention experiencing this unimaginable state, indeed it was quite intriguing. Xia Mu gradually became eager to try, "Wanna try it, Hei Feng?"

"I don't care."

"What are you waiting for, let's start now!"

"Hold on."

Jiu Ling hastily reminded them that they must get into their best condition before fusion, after all, it was Kexiao's suggestion.

"Humph, got it."

Following the fusion principles, Xia Mu and Hei Feng quickly readied their stance. They each grabbed a corner of the adhesive material with one hand, stood side by side, and slowly moved toward the center...

At that moment, Jiu Ling's eyes widened!

Even Xia Mu and Hei Feng were not calm, feeling a rush of excitement. As they got closer and closer, a miraculous scene unfolded—a seamless, brand-new entity formed as their half arms connected.

The starting phase still depended on the two pushing towards the center, but as the distance kept closing in, they seemed to be drawn to each other and suddenly transformed into a different person with a snap.

Staring blankly at the transformed man, Jiu Ling was somewhat entranced, unconsciously murmuring, "Xia... Xia Mu... Hei Feng... are you alright, alright?"

"Good."

"Very good."

"Extremely good."

"Better than any other time."

The fusion person evidently recognized Jiu Ling, saying, "Jiu Ling, come, let's spar."

"Wait wait wait..." Jiu Ling said 'wait' several times in succession, "Hey, are you Xia Mu or Hei Feng now?"

Upon hearing this, the man's lips curved into a mysterious smile, "I am neither Xia Mu nor Hei Feng; you can call me Mu Feng."

"Mu... Mu Feng?"

"I'm itching for a fight, come on, Jiu Ling, let's spar outside."

"Hey, why choose me!?"

"Is there anyone else in the room besides you? Hmm, Kexiao wouldn't be bad either, currently, I feel like challenging ten people."

By now, Jiu Ling could pretty much confirm that after fusion, Mu Feng either experienced a massive increase in power or underwent a personality shift, becoming an undeniable battle enthusiast.

"Alright then, I'll spar with you, let's go outside."

Jiu Ling's graceful silhouette took the lead exiting the room, heading to the courtyard, gearing up for combat initiation. As a 12-star prodigy, her individual combat abilities were unrivaled save for Kexiao.

However, meanwhile, Mu Feng, looking at her with a smile, said, "Come on, beauty, attack me. You can try to push me over head-on."

"Humph, you're getting cocky." Jiu Ling also smiled, her expression increasingly spirited as she stepped swiftly into action, her fist suddenly producing a sound that cut through the air. She could sense that Mu Feng had no intention of dodging.

Unexpectedly, it was a feint. Jiu Ling, being a female, had already utilized her flexible and gentle nature to the fullest. Just as the straight punch was about to connect with Mu Feng's face, she performed a series of inertial spin steps to sidestep the confrontation, her nimble form almost circling half of Mu Feng's body, rotating while her delicate hand reached out to choke the throat...

Pa...

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Jiu Ling felt an iron-like grip instantly bind her arm, making it immobile. Moreover, it was a force that made her feel painful and unable to break free.

"Ah!" Jiu Ling uttered a painful groan.

Upon seeing this, Mu Feng quickly released the iron grip from his counter-capture, "How's that."

"Strong, so strong!"

"Hurting a girl heavily is not gentlemanly behavior." At this moment, Kexiao's voice unexpectedly rang out.

"Tch, it wasn't intentional, speaking of which." As Mu Feng spoke, his beast-like eyes instantly locked onto Kexiao, who arrived leisurely.

"Come on, let me see how strong you've become."

"Be careful now, Kexiao." Mu Feng spoke casually, but his attacks were extremely sharp. His figure shot like an arrow toward Kexiao's position; for an instant, Kexiao vaguely sensed a threat—that feeling of being watched by a beast.

But...

Boom!

Kexiao decided to face the challenge directly.

As their punches exchanged, a thunderous explosion erupted around them, with a whirlwind rapidly expanding at the center...

Watching the two again.

Kexiao actually took a step back, while Mu Feng rebounded out several meters... He lowered his head, gazing at his slightly aching fist, pondering briefly, "Kexiao, is this your current power?"

"Hmph." Kexiao shrugged without mentioning that he hadn't used his full strength, nor did he reveal that Feng Yi's current state far surpassed his, not to mention that even Sky Shadow was stronger. However, catching up with them wasn't difficult; it was just a matter of time. Kexiao didn't want to crush Xia Mu's confidence, so he said, "You're indeed strong, but this isn't enough to defeat the Titan Elf Clan. I believe it may not provide absolute dominance over Titan Elf warriors."

"Humph, interesting, let's go again."

"Jiu Ling and I aren't your opponents. Instead, you should focus on enhancing yourself within the limited time, even in this transformed state."

"Hmm? You mean...?"

"I believe this body has great potential for growth, you should sense that there's still energy left untapped after that strike, isn't gradually exploring this new self more interesting? Staying calm, peaceful, and understanding yourself is the only way to improve oneself."

"Alright, alright, I got it. I'll do it now, stop preaching." Mu Feng confidently withdrew his gaze with a smile full of excitement. With consecutive jumps, he slipped out of their sight...

——

As the 'warfare' between the two clans approached, all nations meticulously prepared for the impending challenge, including Xiu Yi's team, who were deeply troubled by this.

"Yo, rookies." On this sunny and breezy noon, Feng Yi's voice timely rang out.
