"The name of the combination?"
Upon hearing the staff member's words, Lin Ye couldn't help but turn to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, and Zhu Zhuqing also happened to turn her head to look at Lin Ye.
Their gazes met just like that.
When it came to naming things, both of them suffered from naming difficulties and hoped the other would come up with something.
However, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Ye was slightly better off.
When Zhu Zhuqing had chosen her alias, she had thought for a long time without coming up with anything and simply took two characters from the name of her martial soul.
Lin Ye, at least, had managed to think of a new name.
"Zhuqing, what do you think our combination should be called?"
Lin Ye coughed lightly and asked.
"I don't know. You decide. You're probably better at naming than I am..."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, a faint trace of embarrassment flashing across her cool and beautiful face.
"...Alright."
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words and recalling her alias, "Spirit Cat," which was straightforward to the extreme, Lin Ye nodded lightly.
But what would be a good name?
Lin Ye thought for a moment but couldn't immediately come up with a fitting and pleasant-sounding name that captured the characteristics of their duo.
In the end, Lin Ye decided to keep it simple and just combine their current aliases.
His alias in this identity was "Sword One," and Zhu Zhuqing's alias was "Spirit Cat"...
Sword One... Spirit Cat...
How about "Spirit Sword Combination"? That sounded better than "Cat One," "Cat Sword," or "Sword Cat."
As for the name "Sword Spirit," it wasn't bad either, but "Spirit Sword" rolled off the tongue more smoothly.
After some thought, Lin Ye made up his mind.
"How about we call it the Spirit Sword Combination? Your alias is Spirit Cat, mine is Sword One. We'll take one character from each of our aliases and combine them."
Having decided, Lin Ye said this to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
"Mm, let's go with that. It sounds quite nice."
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded lightly.
"We've decided. Our combination name will be the Spirit Sword Combination. 'Spirit' as in agile, and 'Sword' as in longsword."
After settling the matter with Zhu Zhuqing, Lin Ye relayed this to the staff member behind the registration counter.
"Alright, it's been registered. Both of your information has been recorded, and the combination name has been marked on your battle badges. If you'd like to participate in a combination battle today, you can sign up over there."
Upon hearing the combination name Lin Ye had chosen, the staff member entered the information, then placed both of their battle badges into a soul tool. When they were taken out again, the words "Spirit Sword Combination" had been added in small characters. The staff member then smiled and handed the badges back to Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing, pointing out where they could sign up for combination battles.
"Let's go. We'll try a combination battle now."
After taking the battle badges, Lin Ye returned Zhu Zhuqing's badge to her and led her to the sign-up area for combination battles.
Once they had signed up, the two headed to the rest area for Soul Elder-level combination battles.
"Lin Ye, you're so strong. Won't it be a bit unfair to others if we team up for combination battles in the Soul Elder group?"
On the way to the rest area, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Don't worry. When I fight alongside you in combination battles, I'll only use Soul Elder-level soul power and strength. Even combined, the power I use won't exceed two thousand jin."
"One reason I'm doing combination battles with you is to help you get used to fighting as a duo."
"Because if nothing unexpected happens, by the time of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, I won't be appearing on the same team as you. You'll likely be paired with Meng Yiran, leading five deadweights."
"But when your team is up, you'll usually face weaker opponents. If it's a strong team, I'll go alone."
"Another reason..."
Just as Lin Ye was about to continue, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly interrupted him: "Wait!"
"What is it?"
Lin Ye paused and asked.
"Why would you go alone?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"Heh, you can consider it a task assigned to me by my family. You've seen my strength—it's not difficult for me."
Lin Ye smiled faintly.
If he were still a Soul Ancestor, this would indeed have been somewhat challenging for him.
But after breaking through to the Soul King realm and obtaining the fifth soul skill, Indestructible Vajra Body, this task had become very easy for him!
"A task from your family?"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing nodded thoughtfully.
If a family had a genius like Lin Ye, it would make sense for them to want to spread his fame. The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament next year would be the perfect stage.
If Lin Ye could single-handedly sweep through all the strong teams and ultimately win the championship, it would undoubtedly shock the entire continent and set a record in the tournament's history.
"The second reason for doing combination battles with you is to practice my swordsmanship. So in the upcoming battles, though I'll only display the physical abilities of an average Soul Elder, I'll rely on sword techniques to gain an advantage. So don't worry—just support me from the side."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's thoughtful expression, Lin Ye continued with a calm smile.
"Alright, I understand."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly.
...
They soon arrived at the rest area for Soul Elder-level combination battles.
After Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing sat down, they noticed that the rest area seemed unusually noisy today.
Many soul masters appeared flustered, as if afraid of something.
"Excuse me, what's going on today?"
Puzzled, Lin Ye quietly asked a young soul master wearing a half-mask sitting nearby.
"Huh? You don't know?"
The young soul master seemed surprised by Lin Ye's question.
"We just registered as a new combination today, so we're not familiar with the situation here. Could you explain?"
Lin Ye offered an explanation and pressed further.
"Heh, you've asked the right person. Let me tell you, the reason everyone's so panicked today is because a combination in the Soul Elder group that's already on a seven-win streak has come back to fight. This combination is incredibly strong, so everyone's afraid of running into them!"
The young soul master chuckled and explained.
"May I ask what this combination is called and what the two soul masters in it are like?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who had been listening nearby, suddenly asked softly, her curiosity piqued.
"This combination is called the Bear Tyrant Combination. The two soul masters in it have the aliases 'Bear King' and 'Tyrant King.' They're definitely strong, but they're also pretty disgusting."
As if recalling something, the young soul master couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
"Disgusting?"
Hearing this, both Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were puzzled.
A combination on a seven-win streak was undoubtedly strong, but what did "disgusting" mean?
