Douluo V: Daily Intelligence - I Want All of Tang San's Opportunities

The crowd gradually got up and dispersed, but in the following days, the master was almost always surrounded by people.

Qian Lin was the first to arrive. The next evening, he knocked on the master's door and went straight to the point as soon as he entered:

"Master, you said yesterday that I could ask you about the coordination of soul skills in private. Now I want to ask, how can I make my soul skills flow as smoothly as Tang San's?"

The master asked him to sit down, examined his Iron Rod Martial Soul, then his Soul Ring configuration, and after a moment's thought, spoke:

"Your first soul skill extends your attack range, and your second soul skill is a sweeping knockback. These two moves already form a simple combination. Your previous problem was that you couldn't maintain that state after using your first soul skill."

After listening, Qian Lin lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head:

"So how should I practice?"

The master did not answer directly, but only said:

"Go back and practice your first soul skill until you can maintain that state for more than five minutes before asking me for the next step."

Qian Lin nodded, asked no further questions, thanked him, and got up to leave.

On the evening of the third day, the twin sisters also came to see the master. After knocking on the door, they did not sit down immediately.

"Master, we would like to ask you a question about Martial Soul Fusion Techniques."

The girl on the left spoke first, her tone clearly serious:

"Both my sister and I possess the Martial Soul of a Hunting Hound, as do everyone else in the family. However, only the two of us can perform the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. I'd like to ask, what is the reason for this?"

The master glanced at the two of them, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he put down his pen and said:

"Show me your Martial Soul Fusion Technique first."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed their martial spirits. Two jet-black hunting dogs crouched at their feet, their breathing almost synchronized.

The two men took a step forward simultaneously, and in that instant, the two hounds merged into one, forming a huge black shadow inside the house—a massive two-headed dog.

The two-headed dog was imposing, but the master's gaze never left the two beams of light that were closing in.

A moment later, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was deactivated, the two-headed dog slowly dissipated, and the two girls stood up again, looking at the master and waiting for his judgment.

The master didn't rush to comment, but instead asked a question first:

"You are children of the Zuo family of the Kingdom of Barak, aren't you?"

The two sisters were both stunned for a moment, and the girl on the left subconsciously said:

"How did you figure that out?"

The master smiled and shook his head:

"Is that difficult? Your martial spirits, apart from lacking hellfire on their bodies, are almost identical to the Hellhounds of the Zuo family. That should be easy to guess."

Is it easy to guess?

The girl on the left couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If it were really that easy to guess, then Hall Master Chen of the Barak Martial Soul Branch Hall wouldn't have failed to recognize their identities at the beginning.

However, when they thought about the master's achievements in martial spirit research, they felt relieved.

After they had processed the information, the master continued, "So, what are your real names?"

After a moment of silence, the girl on the left said, "My name is Zuo Wanqing, and this is my younger sister, Zuo Wanning."

The master nodded, noted down the two names, and then said:

"Alright, now let's go back to the question you asked earlier. You said that you two, like your clansmen, have the Hound Spirit, so why are only the two of you able to use the Spirit Fusion Skill? The answer is actually quite simple. It's because your spirits were different from the others in your clan from the very beginning. Your spirits were probably affected at birth and did not fully inherit the Hellfire characteristics of the Hellhound. But it is precisely because of this deficiency that you have formed a unique synergy with each other."

He paused, then placed the teacup back on the table: "The core principle of a Soul Fusion Skill is that two or more Soul Masters, through Soul Resonance, fuse their respective Soul Energy and Form, forming a completely new combat system that far surpasses the sum of their individual forms. To form a Soul Fusion Skill, two conditions are required: first, the compatibility between the Souls must be high enough; second, the users' minds must be in sync. Your Souls happen to meet the first condition, and the tacit understanding between you sisters meets the second."

Zuo Wanqing and Zuo Wanning listened quietly, and after a moment of silence, Zuo Wanqing spoke:

"So, you mean that apart from my sister and me, no one else in our family can use the Spirit Fusion Technique? The only reason we can use it is because our spirits are special?"

The master nodded: "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

He glanced at the two of them, then suddenly added:

"However, after watching your use of the Spirit Fusion Technique, I found that it is not perfect. In my experience, there may be room for improvement in your Spirit Fusion Technique."

Zuo Wanqing and Zuo Wanning both showed surprised expressions.

When Zuo Wanning spoke for the first time, her voice was softer than Zuo Wanqing's:

"Master, you said there's still room for improvement in our Martial Soul Fusion Technique. What do you mean by that?"

The master did not offer an explanation, but instead asked:

Do you know what factors affect the power of a Spirit Fusion Skill?

Zuo Wanning thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"You told us before that to form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, two conditions need to be met: the compatibility between the Martial Souls and the connection between the users' minds. So, the power of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill should be determined by these two factors, right?"

The master smiled and nodded:

"You're right. Besides the Soul Master's level, what affects the power of a Soul Fusion Skill is the Soul Compatibility and the Soul Synergy between the users. I just looked at your Soul Fusion Skill, and your Soul Fusion is about 70%."

"Only 70%?"

Zuo Wanning's voice carried a hint of surprise. She had always thought that the fusion degree of the two sisters' martial souls should be very high. She did not expect that in the eyes of a professional like the Grandmaster, it was only this value.

The master shook his head:

"Seventy percent is already pretty good. Many martial soul fusion skills don't even reach fifty percent of the martial soul fusion degree. Of course, since it's seventy percent, there's still room for improvement."

Zuo Wanqing and Zuo Wanning looked at him simultaneously: "Master, how can we increase the fusion level of our martial souls?"

The master thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"This is a problem I've been researching. Currently, given your situation, you can consider two directions: one is to improve your existing martial soul to a certain extent, and the other is to integrate new martial soul elements. But whether it will succeed or not sometimes depends on luck."
