Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 91 Three Categories of Martial Soul Fusion Techniques

"I lost."

After emerging from the Blue Silver Grass, Huo Wu's expression was grim. Although her flames could easily burn away Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, the grass grew so fast that it was impossible to burn it all.

This kind of playing style is very cheating.

Tang San laughed and said, "That's normal. After all, my Blue Silver Grass can take root in the earth. Unless you burn the roots underground as well, you can't possibly burn my Blue Silver Grass clean."

Wild fire, in spring.

In fact, even if it were burned to ashes, Tang San could set it up again. After all, the Blue Silver Grass consumes very little soul power, and as long as it takes root in the earth, it can draw power from the earth, so it doesn't consume much of his own energy.

Besides, he didn't even use his second soul skill. Otherwise, with Huo Wu's attributes reduced by more than 20%, how could she be his opponent?

"As expected of a master of martial spirit cultivation theory, he not only changed the positioning of martial spirit masters in the world of martial spirit masters, but also made the Blue Silver Grass martial spirit exert such a powerful effect." Fire Phoenix watched as Huo Wu's soul power was restored by Tang San's first soul skill, and sighed with admiration. She was even more satisfied with this son-in-law and wanted to bring him home.

"I'm just building on the work of others and making inferences. After all, the attributes of some soul beasts aren't necessarily what they seem," Tang San said modestly, then proudly pouted his nose and added, "However, I am indeed very powerful."

Huo Wu was speechless, but she felt a bit more favorably disposed towards Tang San: "I really don't know whether to say you're being modest or arrogant, but you seem to suit my taste."

Afterwards, the group fetched water and prepared to rest in the oasis for a while before setting off to find suitable soul beasts.

Although they were familiar with each other, they did not camp together and kept a distance from each other.

Xiao Wu walked over, glanced at Huo Wu not far away, and asked, "Why did you introduce Huo Wu to a suitable soul beast?"

"Given our age, it would be troublesome if that Fire Phoenix forced us to join her family. It would be better to show our identities to have a deterrent effect, and give them some non-practical benefits. As long as they are not too domineering, there won't be too much conflict between us," Tang San said. "If we can avoid troubling Ling Yuan, we should avoid it."

"Furthermore, the Huo family is a large family, and they must possess information on soul beasts that is not available on the market. If they really find the Blazing Sun Lion King and Huo Wu's martial soul reveals its true form, then it will be easier for me to trade some information with them."

"Moreover, their family has a secret technique for fusion rings. If Huo Wu really succeeds, I might be able to find a way to trade it over to study it in the future."

Xiao Wu hadn't expected Tang San to think so much, and her mind was a little foggy. She asked, "What about your spirit fusion skill with her?"

"In my view, the kind of martial soul fusion skill is not something that can be achieved simply by having a connection with each other. It also requires cultivating a tacit understanding, and that latter point is the most crucial."

Tang San thought for a while and said calmly, "However, I have never actually seen a Spirit Fusion Skill. Everything can only be guessed based on the existing cases of the Spirit Hall. Perhaps theoretically speaking, as long as two people are connected and their spirit powers can be initially fused, then no matter what their spirit is, they can be fused. But if their personalities are too different, even if they have a connection, it will be troublesome to fuse them."

"The connection between my Blue Silver Grass and Huo Wu's Hokage is actually just that the Blue Silver Grass sensed the hidden light attribute on the other party and was slightly touched. It would probably take more than ten years to fully integrate them."

"I have no interest in wasting my other research on a single Martial Soul Fusion Technique."

Xiao Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "By the way, my Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul eats Blue Silver Grass. Can we fuse together?"

Tang San gave Xiao Wu a wise look: "It's possible, but it will probably take a long time to cultivate tacit understanding. Moreover, to achieve true spirit fusion, it may have to wait until I have a more profound control over life force. After all, spirits have their own spirituality, and no spirit will refuse the nourishment of life force. Even the death attribute can be fused with the life attribute if a balance is found."

Speaking of spirit fusion skills, Tang San felt that they could actually be divided into three categories: spirit power fusion, spirit skill fusion, and spirit fusion.

In the original work, the protagonist group's seven-in-one martial soul fusion skill is a fusion of soul power, where everyone's soul power is concentrated on the protagonist, enabling him to unleash the Haotian True Form.

Simply put, it means concentrating the soul power of others into a powerful martial soul, allowing it to unleash tremendous power.

How soul power is fused is currently unknown.

However, Tang San was certain that different martial souls have different attributes in their soul power. For example, his Blue Silver Grass used to have neutral and balanced internal energy without any attributes. After the Blue Silver Grass awakened and was given a soul ring, it acquired the life attribute.

Therefore, such fusion would most likely require a high-quality martial soul that can forcibly erase the attributes in the soul power of others; otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve a successful fusion.

The Haotian Hammer perfectly fits the above criteria.

Soul skill fusion is much simpler. If two people have the same soul skill, they can release it together to combine their attacks and increase their power.

This is the simplest one.

Secondly, there is the fusion of soul skills with different attributes, which requires constant experimentation. Some attributes are mutually antagonistic, while others can complement each other, and so on.

Among them, the most representative are Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Tang San believed this to be a strong example of soul skill fusion, using the attributes of two martial souls to create a bipolar static domain.

The key is the word "domain," which proves that this is definitely not a martial soul fusion in the conventional sense, but rather a skill similar to a domain created by fusing the opposite attributes of the two.

The most representative example of the final spirit fusion is the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire. There's not much to say; it's simply the fusion of two different spirits to create a completely new form.

Throughout history, among the three types of fusion, the fusion of soul power is the least common, followed by the fusion of martial soul, while the fusion of soul skills is the most common.

However, most Soul Masters on the mainland do not include those weak fusion Soul Skills in the category of Martial Soul Fusion Skills... This is actually an imprecise approach. Just because the power of two Soul Skills fused together is weak does not mean that they are not considered Soul Skill Fusion Skills.

This point cannot be judged solely by the power of the fused soul skill.

"Next, I'll tell you where the Irontooth Fish will appear, and then we can head to those places."

Then, Tang San talked about the specific information he had about finding the Iron-Toothed Fish: "They usually live in groups and are gregarious creatures. They appear in quicksand areas. A hundred-year-old Iron-Toothed Fish has copper-colored teeth, and two horizontal fangs that meander to the sides of its upper jaw grow out of it. They are extremely sharp from the front, as if it is holding two daggers..."
