Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 117 Parting is inevitable
"The form of transformation... can amplify power to approximately the level of a Soul King."

Xiao Xiao stood quietly in the dark waves, lost in thought, looking at her palm with a strange sense of sorrow.

Why is this happening?

She was clearly planning to leave the stage and give it to those who were more capable of staying by his side, but in the end, she pulled this stunt on her.

"Xiao Xiao...you?"

Wang Dong swallowed hard, feeling that Xiao Xiao in her fused state had changed in some way.

It's just like--

Has her originally gentle and withdrawn personality suddenly started to stand up?

"Wait...this isn't right!"

Wang Dong still clutched his head in disbelief: "How can something like a cauldron be fused with an eye? Isn't it said that martial soul attributes are more likely to fuse together?"

But it happened.

Xiao Xiao sighed at Wang Dongyou, and as her gaze fell upon him, the tiny phantom deep in her pupils swayed slightly, causing the latter to fall into a brief daze once again.

"Perhaps this is why it's called the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron?"

Huo Yuhao's voice rang out from the darkness. Although the two were in a state of equal fusion, his spiritual power and soul power were clearly superior to Xiao Xiao's.

Even if the other party is in control now, he can still gain a certain degree of freedom.

"Xiao Xiao... does anyone in your family choose to attach a spirit ring to the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron?"

Experiencing the wonders of the fusion state, Huo Yuhao's first thought was that the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron possessed extremely high potential in spiritual attributes.

Upon closer examination, this possibility is not low.

After all, the dizziness and stiffness characteristics inherent in the Soul-Suppressing Cauldron are the best evidence, as it is a complete mental and soul power impact without causing any physical damage.

"Spiritual Soul Ring..."

When the topic of family came up, Xiao Xiao smiled wryly: "Yes, we do."

"There are actually many mental-type soul skills that family members randomly attach, but they usually come with a skill called 'Soul Suppression,' which is generally set in the fifth or sixth position."

"The reason for this is..."

"It seems that because cultivating a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute is too difficult, the family abandoned this path a long time ago. The current focus of the profession is on extending to support and control."

In a sense, they also used the ups and downs of the entire family to relegate their spiritual attributes to the sidelines.

Without a systematic training method, and with spirit rings hard to find, plus the fact that weapon spirits urgently need to improve physical strength, it's really impossible to cultivate a spirit spirit master with considerable strength without some resources.

"They really are compatible due to their similar attributes..."

Wang Dong's lips twitched, feeling that his already meager hope had become even more distant.

Chi~
With a soft sound, Huo Yuhao transformed into a ball of light and separated from Xiao Xiao's body, observing the gradually collapsing dark waves around him: "It seems that this state can only be maintained for about half a minute."

It's not a long time, but that's enough for a battle.

Furthermore, this duration should increase further as the degree of integration increases, until it reaches a stable existence.

After noting down the effects and limitations of the fusion technique, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly.

In fact, he could sense that the degree of fusion between the two was not very high. Rather than saying that their martial soul attributes were compatible, it was more accurate to say that their long-term contact had gradually increased their compatibility.

The biggest piece of evidence is…

The fusion skill's strength isn't very high; it can only be maintained at the fifth-ring level.

If Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were at their current levels, the Netherworld White Tiger they released might have already reached the Soul Emperor realm.

But I don’t know why.

Huo Yuhao did not want to bring this up himself, but instead tacitly accepted Wang Dong's judgment.

"cough~"

While his expression was subtle, Xiao Xiao also coughed a few times somewhat awkwardly, her gaze shifting.

The sudden fusion did not break down the barriers between the two; instead, it seemed to add to the awkwardness.

"Are you sure you don't need us to intervene?" Tianmeng in the Sea of ​​Spirit was already getting impatient. He took out the silkworm molt he had used many times before: "As long as a few of us do our work, the fusion level between the two of you can easily be raised to 100%!"

If given free rein, Tianmeng is confident that she can raise the compatibility of all four martial souls to the maximum, making it possible to activate the fusion of the four martial souls.

"Indeed. Low-level fusion is meaningless to you, as it has very limited effect on both cultivation speed and combat power."

The Snow Empress bluntly stated the current situation: "Your transformation forms are similar to those of the Netherworld White Tiger. Although they can be classified as form transformations, they are not compatible with other skills."

to be honest.

Fusion skills are very useful for ordinary three-ring spirit rings with yellow and purple rings, but for Huo Yuhao, they are at most icing on the cake. Whether his combat power after the form transformation can catch up with that of a single individual is a question.

“...Xiao Xiao”.

Listening to the repeated advice from within his spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao looked up and met Xiao Xiao's gaze: "What are your plans next?"

Now, there are less than three days left before we travel to the sun and moon.

Whether following his own ideas or obeying the academy's arrangements, Huo Yuhao will no longer stay.

Suddenly, a martial soul fusion intervened, adding turmoil to what should have been a peaceful farewell.

"I…"

Xiao Xiao's lips moved, but she fell silent again.

Do you want to come along?

What Huo Yuhao could sense, she could naturally sense as well.

The fusion level that can only be increased through prolonged contact may drop due to the two being separated for a long time, or the martial soul may change due to the addition of soul rings, interrupting the progress of approaching fusion.

The best decision would be to follow behind Huo Yuhao and run together to the Sun and Moon.

Train and fight alongside him, accompany him every day... and then jump out to activate the Martial Soul Fusion at the crucial moment.

'Just like Zhu Lu?'

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao smiled inexplicably and slowly looked up: "Actually, I don't have any particular plans~"

After a long pause, she finally uttered the second half of her sentence with a hint of relief: "I'm just a little curious about what you'll be like three years from now."

"Really?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, but then the surprise in his eyes was replaced by a smile: "I'm quite curious too."

……

"So...why don't you come along?"

Wang Dong sat on the roof of the dormitory building, gazing at the direction of the school gate with Xiao Xiao: "Even I can tell that you really want to go."

"If I could do whatever I wanted, I should be working at the family business association right now, instead of struggling to survive at Shrek Academy."

Xiao Xiao habitually swung her legs: "Besides, I won't be able to help him much if I go with him; in the end, I'll just be an added burden."

"Besides~"

At this point, Xiao Xiao lowered her head slightly and looked at Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who were pinching and pointing at each other on the bench in the distance.

The fact that the latter had fought a bloody battle with the Soul King of the Inner Court could not be kept secret in the end.

"To abandon someone and walk away is a cowardly act, especially when you have taken on the hopes of others."

　Honestly, I have to complain about the bizarre 24-fold difference in battle power.

　　But luckily, I was more skilled.

　　取下位极限＆普通99为1，则半神为2，准神为6，准巅为12，神为24。斗三位面极限大概在接近18的程度，正好和半神之间差了大约1.2^6*1.2^4*1.2^2。

　　Why divide twelve 1.2s into three parts?
　　答案是，2*1.2^6≈5.97≈6＝准神，2*1.2^10≈12.38≈12＝准巅。

　　Alright, now we can create a level template that everyone can refer to or use—provided that a fanfiction author actually adopts it (I'm a bit too lazy to use it myself).
　　—There is a gap of about 12 levels between demigods and the upper limit of a plane, which is equivalent to the level difference within the title.

　　They can handle anything from the Twelve Stars of Divine Transformation to the Sixth-Order Demigod and Quasi-God, and even the Upper, Middle, Lower, and Peak stages...
