Soul Fusion Online

"How do I know you speak the truth!?" Zan asked. But deep down, he felt that maybe Ryu's words were actually true.

"You will know once you surrender. If not, then I will need to get serious." Ryu's eyes began to radiate with sparks of lightning. Chi's eyes began to do the same thing.

Zan felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He already knew whatever attack they were about to do was not something he could take. Letting out a long sigh, Zan sheathed his sword and knelt down. "I am yours to do as you see fit with."

The lightning in Ryu and Chi's dimmed. Ryu smiled and walked over to Zan, and placed his hand on Zan's shoulder.. "Don't worry. You won't regret this. In fact, I will capture the bastard who would do such a thing to a young girl and let you do as you please with him."

Zan looked up at Ryu in astonishment. He could tell the anger in Ryu's voice was not fake. This puzzled Zan. He lowered his head as tears slowly began to well up into his eyes. He now fully believed Ryu. There was no way for a man such as Ryu to use his daughter as a means for him to give up the fight. He knew during the entire fight just now that Ryu was holding back and only clashing with him, never aiming for his actual body. He was doing so in order to convince him.

As Ryu began to walk towards the main house. Zan reached out and grabbed Ryu's wrist. "Wait!"

"Hmmm? Do you still wish to fight?" Ryu asked while gripping his sword.

"No. I wish to come with you. And deal with the man myself. There should be no reason for you to capture him. Plus, I know where the secret rooms are that he could be hiding in." Zan replied. His eyes filled with determination.

"Then so be it! Come. This will be the first time we fight together as a team, and in the future, we will stand on top of this world, and you can show your daughter just how much of an amazing father she has."

Zan wiped his eyes and nodded his head as he knelt once more. This time he stabbed his sword out in front of him as he did. "From this moment on I, Zan, will be your sword and promise to protect you with my Life!"

[Follower System Unlocked!]

[Zan desires to be your loyal follower until death.]

[Do you Accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Ryu saw the notification pop up in front of him and was quite surprised by this. This did not happen with anyone else, so it must be the oath that Zan had just made that caused this notification to appear. Ryu thought for a moment before hitting the yes button. He had no reason not to refuse. As soon as he hit the button, Zan's body glowed, and his cultivation shot up an entire realm!

"Oh? I entered the nine souls forming realm? Wait, Zan, you are in the soul destruction realm!?" Ryu was more surprised that Zan was in the soul destruction realm than him suddenly jumping a whole realm!

"It seems my oath to you was a gift from the heavens. We both jumped a realm..."  Zan clenched his fist, feeling the new power welling up inside him, and smiled. "Master Ryu, if you will still allow me to kill that bastard."

"Huh? Ah yeah..." Ryu was highly confused, but whatever the case may be, this was a blessing in disguise.

He was not the only one confused. The Game Masters high in the sky watching everything were also confused. "When the hell did we put a system like that in!?"

"I think this is not part of the original code but the system itself adding a special future in."

"But how!? Has the system evolved that much already!?"

"I think it is because he does not treat the AI as AI. He treats them as living beings. His guildmates are all the same. As a leader who treats the residents in the game as real living beings, it will also rub on those under him. I think because of this I think the system decided to add an extra future. You could call it a fortuitous encounter. This Ryu will be one of the few people to leave a mark on history in the world of Soul Fusion Online."

"I have to hand it to him. Only twenty of the NPCs so far have died in this war. Not including that Emma girl. With how things are going, less than fifty should actually die. But the amazing thing is not a single person from the thousand people he brought has died."

"Make sure you upload this battle to the website but censor out the part where the fox girl dug out Emma's eyes. We do not want people copying that."

"Haha yeah, that girl must have really hated Emma."

"Well, she did try to have her way with Ryu. So I can understand her anger."

"Remind me not to piss her off. I still like being able to see."

"I second that. But I have to say this war is progressing much faster than I thought.  I figure another hour tops before they clean up."

"We will just have to wait and see. Master Qin may still have a trump card."

Ryu and Zan left Chi in charge to clean up the rest of the battlefield. There were still some loyalists to Master Qin who did not wish to surrender. With Zan in the lead and him using his cultivation suppression, all those who went forward to try to stop them were slammed to the ground unable to move. The two were an unstoppable force and soon found themselves in front of a set of double wooden doors inside the main house.

"Just come in, I know you're here already. "
