Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 62 The Throbbing Originating from the Martial Soul

It wasn't that the brother and sister's talent for cultivation was inferior to Huo Ling's, but rather it was due to their age.

The age limit for participating in the Soul Master Competition is under 25 years old. It is normal that Huo Wu, who is 19 years old and Huo Wushuang, who is 20 years old in the original work, cannot compare with Huo Ling, who is 23 years old at present, in terms of soul power level.

Despite Tang San and his group being young, many students from various academies were not subject to age restrictions when participating in the competition.

Besides Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, and others, the three members of the Spirit Hall team known as the "Golden Generation," Hu Liena, are also not very old, all around twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

In conclusion, the strength of the participants in the Soul Master Competition is not directly related to their cultivation talent.

Those who are weaker may simply have not cultivated for as long as others, resulting in a lower soul power level.

Those who are strong may have been cultivating for longer than others, and their age is almost over the age limit for the competition, so their cultivation talent is not actually outstanding.

Three horse-drawn carriages sped along the main road.

Inside the last carriage sat Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, and Mu Yang.

"Xiao Wu, are you really not going to participate this time? The information of the academy's participating students has not yet been submitted to the competition organizing committee. It's not too late to change your mind."

Huo Lie asked Huo Wu.

As the dean of Blazing Academy, Huo Lie undoubtedly hopes that the Blazing Team can achieve better results in the Soul Master Competition.

If Huo Wu participates, before the finals, the Blazing Fire Team's original main lineup of three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables can be changed to four Soul Masters and three Soul Venerables, which will undoubtedly allow them to go further in the finals.

As for the question of whether a fifteen-year-old four-ring Soul Master who has exceeded the limit of Soul Ring age would be too high-profile, Huo Lie wouldn't care about such things, given his strength as a nine-ring Title Douluo and the reputation of Blazing Academy.

Unless Huo Wu makes it clear that she wants to join the Heaven Dou Empire or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall would not risk incurring the hatred of the neutral Blazing Fire Academy just to kill a genius Soul Master.

"Dad, my sister said she won't participate in the Soul Master Tournament if she can't win."

Before Huo Wu could reply, Huo Wushuang took over the conversation.

"Haha~"

Hearing this, Huo Lie glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Huo Wu and couldn't help but laugh. He then said, "Alright, alright, we'll listen to Xiao Wu. We'll participate again next time."

Before the outcome is finalized, it's impossible to say for sure what results the Blazing Fire team will achieve this year.

But he knew that in the next Soul Master Competition, the Blazing Fire Team would definitely be the most dazzling among all the participating teams.

Three days later, near dusk, the group from Blazing Fire Academy arrived at Heaven Dou City.

Huo Lie was not short of money, and Chi Huo Academy was even more so. The group went straight to the Tian Dou Hotel, located in the city center, not far from the Great Soul Arena, and also the most upscale hotel in Tian Dou City.

"The opening ceremony of the tournament is in two days. Bing'er and the others should have arrived in Heaven Dou City by now, right?"

In the hotel lobby, Mu Yang, waiting for the staff to process his check-in, couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

Before long, the group from Blazing Fire Academy had completed their check-in procedures, and their rooms were all on the fifth floor of the hotel.

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Mu Yang suddenly felt a throbbing sensation within his body, causing him to frown and stop in his tracks.

"Xiaoyang, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Mu Yang had suddenly stopped, Huo Wu, who was following behind him, asked.

"It's nothing~"

Suspecting it was just his imagination, Mu Yang shook his head and continued upstairs.

However, Mu Yang soon realized that the previous palpitation was not his imagination. The higher he went, the more obvious the palpitation became.

Moreover, what caused him this feeling of excitement was none other than his Ice Flame Holy Shadow Martial Soul!

"A Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"

Upon realizing the source of the tremor, Mu Yang immediately thought of this term, which symbolizes great strength in the world of Soul Masters.

The reason for this is that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Both are five-ring Soul Kings, but one side has two people with a Soul Fusion Skill, while the other side has two people without a Soul Fusion Skill. If other factors are similar, the former is more than capable of defeating the latter.

Generally speaking, a dual-person martial soul fusion skill is enough for a soul master to overcome a challenge of a major level.

It's like the fusion skill of two five-ring Soul Kings; their strength is guaranteed to be comparable to a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Moreover, the more people involved in a spirit fusion skill, the stronger its power.

People like Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong are just a two-ring Great Soul Master plus two seven-ring Soul Saints. Once they join forces to activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Golden Sacred Dragon, their strength will be enough to surpass that of an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo and be able to compete with a nine-ring Title Douluo.

It is foreseeable that if Yu Xiaogang, who is the weak link in the team, can reach the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, the Golden Sacred Dragon, a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, will most likely be able to truly rival a nine-ring Title Douluo.

However, the prerequisites for forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill are quite demanding. It requires the Martial Souls of two or more parties to complement each other and form a perfect combination. Under normal circumstances, only two-person Martial Soul Fusion Skills can appear. A three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill like the "Golden Sacred Dragon" is the only one of its kind on the entire continent.

It is precisely because of the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill that a certain phenomenon has emerged among Soul Masters who possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

If they are not related by blood, they will become good sisters if they are both women, good brothers if they are both men, and husband and wife if they are a man and a woman.

Faced with this unexpected windfall, Mu Yang couldn't help but feel conflicted.

His Martial Soul Fusion Skill is excellent and powerful, but he consumed a celestial herb, so his future Soul Power cultivation speed will not even be able to keep up with that of an ordinary innate full Soul Power user. However, after becoming a Title Douluo, by adding high-age Soul Rings to his Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul, as long as he can collect all the Soul Rings, he will basically be close to becoming a god.

In this way, if he doesn't invest heavily in training his opponent, the opponent's strength will definitely not be able to keep up with his pace.

However, when the two sides in a Spirit Fusion Skill are of different strengths, and the stronger side is oneself, the effect of the Spirit Fusion Skill is greatly reduced. The greater the difference in strength between the two sides, the weaker the amplification effect.

For example, if he were a nine-ring titled Douluo, and the opponent was just an ordinary seven-ring Soul Saint or even a six-ring Soul Emperor, how much strength could he increase even if he could activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill?

However, Mu Yang was reluctant to invest heavily in training the other person, since they were originally unrelated.

Moreover, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill depends on the Martial Soul, not the person. Who knows what kind of situation the other party is?

It's a bit better with men; as long as they haven't done anything terribly wrong, it's fine to take them in as underlings.

But if the other party is a woman, and not only is she old and unattractive, but she also has an immoral private life and a vicious heart, then he might as well not have this martial soul fusion skill at all!
