Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 166 Drunken Dance of the Azure Lotus - A Long Song of Poetry and Sword
An indescribable atmosphere enveloped the entire Douluo Continent!

All viewers, regardless of their level of cultivation or where they are located.

At this moment, all sorts of strange images and feelings inexplicably surfaced in my mind.

"What is this feeling? My soul power seems to be fluctuating in accordance with some kind of rhythm?"

"Such powerful sword intent! I can feel the stinging sensation on my skin even through the sky!"

"There's also the smell of wine... Am I a little drunk? No, I'm just feeling disoriented!"

“It’s so weird!”

"This Martial Soul Fusion Skill can actually directly affect the viewer's spirit and perception?"

Countless exclamations rang out, filled with shock and bewilderment.

This kind of influence, which directly affects the realm of mind and spirit, is more difficult to defend against and more unpredictable than any previous physical attack or domain control.

Immediately afterwards, on the sky...

The specific information about the second-place winner slowly emerged, accompanied by that intoxicating yet sharp artistic conception.

[Rank 2 on the Spirit Fusion Skill Ranking]

[Fusion Skill Name: Drunken Lotus Dance - Poetry and Sword Song]

[Performer Type: Self-fused Martial Soul (Twin Martial Souls)]

[Brief Description of the Fusion Skill's Power: The ultimate resonance and sublimation of the essence and power of poetry, wine, and sword. Its power surpasses the limits of ordinary Title Douluo, touching the threshold of godhood.

……

Second place!
Li Bai!

Self-spirit fusion technique!

When this information is presented clearly and unambiguously to everyone.

The entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a near-suffocating silence.

What followed was a frenzy of discussion that was more intense and more frenzied than ever before!

"Self-fusion martial soul technique? Twin martial souls fusing with themselves? How is that possible! Unheard of!"

"Level 99! 95% self-fusion compatibility! This is simply a violation of the ironclad rules of the Soul Master world!"

"Poetry, wine, sword... can they be combined like this? It affects perception, interferes with the mind... how can we defend against this?"

"His power is approaching the threshold of godhood! And his self-fusion consumes even less energy! No wonder... no wonder Tianmu previously commented that he possessed true god-level combat power!"

"This is terrifying! This Li Bai isn't human! He's an immortal! A sword immortal! A wine-and-sword immortal!"

"Self-fusion of martial spirits! This means he doesn't need any partner; he is a complete martial spirit fusion skill unit that can be unleashed at any time! Its strategic significance is immeasurable!"

……

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, Star Luo Empire...

All the high-ranking members of the various factions were speechless at this moment, their expressions blank with shock.

Ning Fengzhi murmured solemnly, "Self-fusion, self-creation into one..."

"So the ultimate power of twin martial souls is not simply switching between them, but merging them into one to give birth to a completely new, forbidden power that belongs only to oneself!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's body was surrounded by surging sword energy!
He was obsessed with swords all his life, and at this moment he felt the peerless sword intent coming from the sky, which, though thousands of miles away, still made his sword heart tremble.

An unprecedented fervor and a hint of sadness erupted in his eyes.

It's a feeling of awe and longing after seeing even higher peaks.

Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, gasped in astonishment: "Level ninety-nine, plus this self-fusion technique, Li Bai's true combat power probably far surpasses that of ordinary god-level powerhouses!"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Deathly silence.

Bibi Dong sat on her throne, her purple eyes finally losing their absolute calm and surging with turmoil!

"Self-fused Martial Soul..."

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her voice carrying a hint of dryness that she herself was unaware of.

As the owner of twin martial souls, he is the most talented pope in the history of the Spirit Hall.

She understood better than anyone the potential and limitations of twin martial souls.

She had also envisioned two martial souls working together at a deeper level, and even drew on some theories of martial soul fusion techniques.

But the concept of "self-fusion" was like a fantasy; she never thought anyone could actually achieve it!

This requires that the two martial souls have a very high potential for resonance in essence.

Furthermore, it requires the Soul Master to have an unparalleled, effortless control over both Martial Souls.

"Episode 99, Self-Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's voice trembled slightly, "Ghostly Phantom, what are our... Martial Soul Fusion Techniques compared to it?"

Ghost Douluo remained silent, his figure beneath the black robe appearing even more hunched.

Faced with this mind-blowing, almost "monster-like" existence, any comparison seems pale and powerless.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, her gaze becoming extremely serious: "If the second place is already like this, then what will the first place's Martial Soul Fusion Skill be?"

She was almost certain that Lu Xiao was at the top of the list.

Now that a self-fusion martial soul technique has appeared, it's inevitable that a second one will emerge!

A dean who can recruit and cultivate monsters like Lü Bu, Diao Chan, and Li Bai!
A being who could make the Silver Dragon King submit must possess a Martial Soul Fusion Technique that is probably...

……

Inside the Beidou Academy.

"Li Bai is awesome!"

"Self-fusion martial soul technique! That's so cool!"

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's eyes were practically sparkling!

Li Bai was known for his unrestrained and carefree nature, and his image as someone who composed poetry while drunk is deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Unexpectedly, it even possesses a self-fusion martial soul technique.

Li Bai himself, however, picked up his wine gourd, tilted his head back and took a swig, seemingly not caring much about the rankings and rewards on the sky.

Instead, he winked at Lu Xiao and laughed, "Dean, it seems my sword is worthy of Tianmu's attention."

"However, compared to you, I'm afraid I'm still far from being good enough."

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, looking at the faint yet more solidified ethereal sword intent and the deeper spiritual fluctuations emanating from Li Bai, and smiled calmly.

Just as the golden light rewarded by Li Bai merged into his body, making his aura more harmonious, profound, and unfathomable!
"Buzz!"

Above the sky!

That last remaining golden light, representing first place!

Finally, the final and most breathtaking surge began!
This time, there were no warnings, no preparations.

The light simply and purely... lit up.

At first, it was like the first light of dawn.

Then, it transformed into the bright sun in the sky!

Finally, it seems to be the light of the origin of the entire universe, encompassing everything, evolving everything, and transcending everything!
