Kapitel 65: [DD]: 65
The three women nearby listened to the conversation between the master and disciple, feeling somewhat baffled. Although very curious, they didn't interrupt.
When it came to the Pope and the Grand Worship of the Spirit Hall, they held a bit of reverence.
However, they secretly gossiped in their hearts. Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong? From what Han Li said, it seemed like there was a story between them.
Their strengths were vastly different, and their identities were opposing. What kind of relationship could they possibly have?
No one would think of it as a romantic relationship. Or rather, if they did, they quickly dismissed the idea because it seemed absurd. Subconsciously, they believed the two were from completely different worlds.
Moreover, the information Han Li had just shared about the martial soul fusion technique was quite extensive, causing everyone to fall silent as they processed the new knowledge.
"Is it my turn next?"
Dugu Yan asked excitedly after coming back to her senses, looking at Han Li.
"Yes, it's our turn," Han Li replied with a smile.
"First, try to simulate your soul power fluctuations using flames. This way, it's more intuitive. Hmm, then see if you can slightly adjust the fluctuations."
Han Li walked over to her and began demonstrating by manipulating his soul power.
"Okay, I'll try."
Although Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved, its inherent potential was still somewhat lacking in this regard.
In summary, she did manage to show fluctuations, but apart from the changes caused by emotional shifts, she couldn't control the fluctuations of her soul power effectively.
Shui Bing'er and Xiu'er also tried using their methods and encountered the same issue.
"It seems the problem lies with insufficient spiritual power."
Han Li continued to freely adjust his soul power fluctuations. Though he hadn't fixed it permanently, he could maintain a certain frequency for a short period, albeit mentally exhausting.
As for a permanent change, according to his estimation, even he would need to focus intensely and train for a long time to completely alter his soul power to the desired fluctuations and frequency.
Guang Ling and Azure Luan also tried, discovering that even they found it challenging to change their soul power fluctuations easily.
Although a compatibility rate of fifty percent seemed close to sixty percent, the difficulty in making this change was significant.
"It seems that the earlier we realize this, the better. Having spiritual power far exceeding one's level early on is key to developing martial soul fusion techniques later. Once the soul power becomes immense, it becomes even harder to control."
After comparing their attempts, Han Li summarized his observations.
"That's indeed the case. It looks like your Martial Uncle and I will be busy in the future. Hmm, I'll stay out of your matters for now. You handle those three over there first."
Guang Ling smirked mischievously as he patted his disciple's shoulder, gesturing towards the three girls who were still trying to adjust their soul power fluctuations.
"Alright."
Han Li nodded. Indeed, there was no need for his master to try with him for now—the gap in their strength was too vast to bother with such efforts.
"I wonder if this will work?"
Han Li's eyes suddenly lit up after pondering for a while.
"What did you think of now?"
Guang Ling asked curiously.
"You'll see in a moment, Master."
Han Li quickly approached Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er.
"Sister Yan, Bing'er, I have an idea. Let's give it a try."
"Sure." ×2
Seeing his excitement, the two girls exchanged glances and responded without hesitation.
"Sister Xiu'er, I'll try this with you later. For now, I'll start with the attributes I'm familiar with."
Remembering the previous day's events, Han Li spoke to Xiu'er.
"Got it, Xiao Li."
Xiu'er smiled sweetly and nodded, appreciating his thoughtfulness even at this moment.
"Come, you two stand on my left and right, and hold my hands."
Han Li extended his hands towards the two girls, who had already become accustomed to his actions and immediately reached out to him.
"When we enter the cultivation state, don't circulate your soul power within yourselves as usual. Instead, direct your soul power to me first. After it passes through my body, I'll return it to you. Understand?"
Han Li instructed. He had control over ice and fire elements, and both girls had a decent grasp and resistance to these elements. Under conscious control, they could withstand his soul power impact.
"That's an excellent idea, worth a try. If it works, not only will dual martial soul fusion techniques be easier, but triple fusion techniques might also be possible."
"Over time, your high-intensity ice and fire elements could benefit their martial souls, facilitating further evolution through you."
Azure Luan immediately grasped his idea and praised him from the side.
"Ha, it takes Martial Uncle to see through my thoughts in an instant. I also swear by my martial soul that while transferring soul power to you two, I will remove my mental imprint to avoid any previously mentioned issues."
Han Li first turned around and gave Azure Luan a thumbs-up. Then he promised Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er very seriously.
The two were momentarily taken aback but then nodded. Swearing by one's martial soul was the highest form of commitment in the Douluo Continent.
Their gazes toward Han Li softened. They had overlooked this aspect earlier, as it wasn't the same situation previously mentioned. They didn't expect Han Li to bring it up proactively.
Guang Ling and Azure Luan also nodded, noting this important detail.
"Alright, clear your minds and try to maintain your most primal soul power fluctuations."
After Han Li reminded them, he first entered a meditative state.
Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er also closed their eyes and began meditating.
Two different energies surged from their arms into Han Li's body. In his meditative state, Han Li frowned slightly but was well-prepared. With absolute control, he methodically processed the foreign soul powers within his body.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes passed. Just when the three people outside thought this attempt might fail—
Suddenly, a faint red light shield appeared around the three of them, centered on Han Li, enveloping them.
Then they saw the soul power start to link through Han Li as an intermediary, rapidly completing the connection. The three's auras blended, indistinguishable from one another.
"It's working."
Although they couldn't directly see the soul power fluctuations of the three in meditation, this scene undeniably proved that Han Li's idea was feasible.
"It seems martial soul fusion techniques might become mainstream in the future," Guang Ling couldn't help but sigh.
"Not likely. At most, they'll become more common. Even if you find someone compatible with a martial soul fusion technique, it's incredibly hard to change one's soul power fluctuations. Not everyone has Xiao Li's level of control over lower elements and spiritual power."
"Moreover, the trust issue alone prevents martial soul fusion techniques from becoming widespread. Do you think, without Xiao Li's prior contributions and the benefits these two girls received, many people would allow another's soul power to enter their bodies for a prolonged period?"
Azure Luan shook his head, pointing out the practical problems.
"You're right; I overlooked that," Guang Ling was momentarily stunned but then understood the critical issues.
He and Azure Luan had decades of friendship and could trust each other completely.
As for the two girls in front of him, Han Li had already given them precious herbs to evolve their martial souls.
Without that, probably only Xiu'er would let Han Li do as he pleased.
Because of this, Han Li helped activated her martial soul, provided rare herbs, and unhesitatingly left the Yearning Heartbroken Red for her, not allowing anyone else to try it.
Thinking of this, Guang Ling glanced subtly to the side, seeing Xiu'er intently watching the activity.
Since it was just a test to see if it was feasible, today's tasks were not yet fully resolved.
After confirming the feasibility and stability, Han Li and the other two quickly exited their cultivation state and opened their eyes.
Han Li was the last to open his eyes and stand up. After all, he was the central hub and could only withdraw his soul power after ensuring the safety of the other two.
"It looks like your idea is workable," Guang Ling said, winking at him as he stood up.
"Yes, it is feasible. With me as the intermediary, if we continue cultivating this way, we three can soon form a martial soul fusion technique."
"Moreover, this deep cultivation can gradually synchronize our soul power fluctuations, and our martial soul auras will become more familiar with each other. Once fully mastered, our cultivation speed should increase by 1.5 times."
Han Li smiled as he responded. Being the central hub, he was naturally sensitive to such changes.
"Tsk, I'm a bit jealous of you all. But if I were your peer, it wouldn't feel so great," Guang Ling sighed as he looked at them.
"Someone has to be stronger than the rest, so why can't that person be me? I promised Master that I would become the youngest Titled Douluo in the future, and I've already set my sights on it."
Han Li was in good spirits and revealed a bit of his "ambition."
"That's right, keep it up," Guang Ling patted his shoulder, feeling very gratified.
"Xiao Li, this time the martial soul fusion technique should work, right?" Dugu Yan, who had been waiting until the master and disciple finished talking, asked eagerly.
"Yes, let's start right away. During our cultivation earlier, I carefully examined our compatibility. We're at a rather awkward position, around 59% to 60%, heavily influenced by spiritual fluctuations."
"It seems we had a bit of luck last night when we succeeded. But now that we know the reason, it's easier to handle. I'll make some adjustments and cooperate with you for the fusion."
"Afterwards, as long as we continue the cultivation we just did, we will naturally succeed."
Han Li took a few steps forward and extended his hand to Dugu Yan. She did not hesitate to possess her martial soul and held his hand. Together, they walked towards the open space from before.
"Alright, Sister Yan, let's begin. Release your martial soul aura to connect with mine."
"Okay."
The moment their martial soul auras and soul power made contact, crimson flames instantly enveloped them. As they prepared for fusion, something unexpected happened. Their hands remained firmly held, but instead of merging, their martial souls intertwined and projected a phantom image.
The phantom was different from what they had seen when the two had previously merged. It had a snake head—no, after Han Li's martial soul dragon breath enhancement, it could be said to have a dragon head and a human body. However, the human body was covered in scales and entwined with fire snakes, with the only conspicuous feature being the vermilion flame mark in the center of its forehead.
At this moment, their martial souls had also transformed into two imposing fire dragons, each positioned on either side of the phantom, continually roaring.
The phantom made a motion resembling the flick of reins and then drove the two fire dragons straight ahead, leaving a fiery path in its wake.
Upon reaching the end, it began to rapidly expand, its form swiftly disintegrating. Under everyone's watchful eyes, a soul power fluctuation even more explosive than the final strike of the martial soul fusion technique with Shui Bing'er erupted.
After a resounding explosion that echoed across the sky, a vermilion scene filled their vision.
The small mountain on the other side of the valley, upon being struck, held out for three seconds before collapsing onto the clearing.
At this moment, the onlookers had already risen into the air, with Xiu'er being lifted by Guang Ling using soul power, floating alongside them.
They looked down at the valley where they once stood. Flames from the explosion had spread across the valley, turning it into a sea of fire. There was no place to stand, and even the pool of water had been affected.
Now, the pool looked like a pit of fire, with sizzling sounds audible. The temperature was so high that even water vapor couldn't form; the underground water evaporated before it could surface.
"My fish."
Guang Ling let out a lament from mid-air.
"Alright, stop going on about your fish. Even if there were any, they probably froze to death the last time. Besides, you barely caught any before. Let's find Xiao Li and the others."
Azure Luan didn't spare Guang Ling's feelings, revealing the truth while scanning the flames for the two figures.
The explosion had been too sudden; they only had time to shield the two beside them.
As for Han Li and the other, while he believed the martial soul fusion technique shouldn't harm its users, the current situation still worried him.
"Don't worry, remember that Xiao is fire-immune and has absolute control over fire elements. Protecting Yan'er shouldn't be a problem."
Unlike Azure Luan, Guang Ling wasn't worried. Mischief-makers tend to endure, and he had faith in his disciple.
Despite his words, Guang Ling still helped in the search.
"There, intact."
Soon, he pointed to the center of the sea of fire, where the flames began to weaken and extinguish. The one responsible was Han Li, with Dugu Yan assisting nearby.
A minute later, all the flames in the valley were extinguished, but the once beautiful scene was now barren and charred, emitting heat and a burnt smell.
"My secret base is destroyed just like that."
Seeing the two walk towards them, Guang Ling glanced around and couldn't help but twitch his cheek.
"Out with the old, in with the new. Master, don't mind it. I didn't expect the martial soul fusion technique with Sister Yan to turn out like this. It's our first time, so it's inevitably a bit hard to control," Han Li said, a bit embarrassed.
"Sigh, fine. After all, I am your master," Guang Ling stared at him for a moment before resigning with a wave of his hand.
"Master, you're so magnanimous," Han Li promptly gave a thumbs-up, flattering him.
"Tell me, why is your martial soul fusion technique different from what you described?"
Guang Ling suppressed his frustration and asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but last night's situation was coincidental. Besides merging, there wasn't even any amplification. Let's study it later. For now, let's talk about the current martial soul fusion technique."
"Sister Yan and I have decided to call it 'Wrath of the Fire God.'"
As Han Li finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. It was very fitting—an impact followed by an explosion, truly wrathful.
What Han Li didn't mention was that he named it mainly because the phantom created by their martial soul fusion technique closely resembled Zhu Rong from his memories.
Yes, their first target was a small mountain, reminiscent of Zhu Rong stealing Gonggong's job and crashing into the mountains.
"As for its effect, it's simple: it amplifies fire damage by 200%, collides straight into the enemy, and then explodes. Neither Sister Yan nor I will be harmed."
"Additionally, within half an hour after the attack, as long as Sister Yan and I remain in the sea of fire, we can enjoy a 50% fire boost and faster soul power recovery."
"It's a skill for clearing the field at the start and provides some sustainability. Though I find it somewhat redundant, it's better than nothing," Han Li concluded.
"You're not satisfied even when you get a bargain. Both of your martial soul fusion techniques combine single-target and area attacks. What more do you want?"
Guang Ling couldn't help but knock on his head, even though he knew the principle. He didn't know when he'd be able to figure it out himself.
Han Li chuckled and didn't pay attention to the hint of envy in his master's words.
"By the way, Bing'er, I just thought of a name for our martial soul fusion technique. Want to hear it?"
Han Li turned to Shui Bing'er and asked.
"Sure, let's hear it," Shui Bing'er responded, looking forward to it since the subsequent martial soul fusion techniques had already been named before hers.
"Let's call it 'Cold Feather Phoenix Dance Break.' What do you think?"
"Cold Feather Phoenix Dance Break, Cold Feather and Phoenix Dance?" Shui Bing'er softly repeated it twice, then looked up with a smile on her face.
"Great, then let's call it 'Cold Feather Phoenix Dance Break.'"
