Douluo Continent, Xuanwu Gate clashes, but exposed by the Heavenly Ranking.

Just as Xueyue finished robbing the Blue Silver Emperor's tomb and was preparing to go to Hulao Pass, where Dai Hao was stationed, to check on the Spirit Hall's movements.

As Tang Hao was removed from the Heavenly Ranking, amidst the swirling golden clouds, other individuals began to appear on the list one after another.

[Ranked 20th on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking: Jing Hongchen!]

[Level: 95]

[Affiliation: Sun Moon Empire!]

[Original Soul Skills: 1. Golden Edge Palm! 2. First Soul Core!]

[Domain: The Realm of Gold!]

[Special Profession: Level 9 Soul Master!]

[Evaluation: A rare ninth-level Soul Master on the continent. His Martial Soul combined with his Soul Tool already grants him extraordinary combat power. With the enhancement of his Domain, he can even fight opponents of higher levels. He is the Sun Moon Empire's chief Soul Master, and his army, armed with Soul Tools, is virtually invincible!]

[Reward: A 50,000-year-old three-legged golden toad soul bone!]

……

[Yang Wudi ranks nineteenth on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking!]

[Martial Soul: Soul-Shattering Spear!]

[Account Ban: Soul Breaker!]

[Level: 95]

[Affiliation: Sun Moon Empire!]

[Self-created Soul Skill]

1. The Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique is one of the ten strongest martial arts created by Xue Yue, the headmaster of the Jixia Snow Palace. Unlike meditation and soul core techniques, this path is a meridian cultivation path, which cannot be practiced by those who are not extremely talented.

The Heavenly Questioning Spear Technique has three ultimate moves: Angrily Questioning the Common People, Arrogantly Questioning the Common People, and the ultimate move, Returning to Question the Heavens.

Each time a profound technique is learned, one can unleash an attack power one level higher than oneself, up to the level 99 Limit Douluo realm.

It is rumored that above the top ten martial arts, there are profound techniques prepared specifically for Limit Douluo and even gods. Unfortunately, after years of cultivation, Yang Wudi has only comprehended the first profound technique!

2. Xuanwu True Skill, the general outline of meridian cultivation, uses internal martial arts techniques to circulate soul power, which can greatly improve the efficiency and quality of soul power cultivation.

The general principles are as follows: Yin gives rise to Yang, passing through the mysterious gate; a single line separates the ends of the earth, martial arts unfold; true meaning is hidden in the boundless spirit, the heart's skill, like ten thousand scrolls, is as still as a turbulent lake!

[Evaluation: Yang Wudi is a pure attack-type Soul Master, and his Martial Soul is the Soul-Breaking Spear.]

The Soul-Breaking Spear is a jet-black spear, twelve feet long, with a shaft as thick as a normal person's arm and a spearhead four feet wide, gleaming with a cold, menacing luster.

When unleashing its true form, the gun transforms into a black flame, maintaining its size, and possesses the ability to absorb both physical and mental attacks, while also having a certain deterrent effect on the enemy's mental power.

Originally the patriarch of the Po clan, he was one of the four clans affiliated with the Haotian Sect.

However, ever since Tang Hao clashed with the Spirit Hall, leading to Qian Xunji's death.

Not only was Tang Hao expelled from the Haotian Sect, but the Haotian Sect also closed its gates, leaving the fate of its affiliated clans to their own devices.

In search of a way to survive, Yang Wudi led his clan to break away from the Haotian Sect.

After that, the Po clan suffered repeated attacks from the Spirit Hall, resulting in nearly half of their members being killed or wounded, and their strength was severely damaged.

During the crucial battle, just as his younger brother Yang Wushuang was about to perish at the hands of the Spirit Hall, the Po clan was rescued by the Jixia Academy and later enrolled there to cultivate.

Then, two and a half years ago, I joined Dai Hao's team to jointly build the Hulao Pass defense line!

[Reward: 80,000-year-old Soul-Breaking Bamboo Soul Bone!]

……

[Ranked 18th on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking, Demon-Slaying Douluo!]

[Martial Soul: Coiled Dragon Staff!]

[Account banned: Demon Slayer!]

[Level: 96]

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall!]

[Original Soul Skill: None!]

[Domain: None!]

[Evaluation: Demon-Slaying Douluo is the seventh elder of the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City. He belongs to the high-level system of Wuhun Hall and has a transcendent status. He is not directly commanded by the Pope and only obeys the Hall Master of the Elder Hall and the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.]

Although the affairs of the Spirit Hall are basically handled by the Pope, major matters require the approval of the Elders and the congregation.

Unless there are extremely urgent matters, the worshippers rarely go out, preferring to devote themselves to cultivation in the temple.

His martial spirit is the Panlong Staff, which is one of the top-tier weapon martial spirits.

The staff contains a Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon, which grants it immense destructive power and the ability to amplify soul skills!

In one-on-one combat, Demon-Slaying Douluo isn't particularly outstanding among level 96 Title Douluos. However, when he teams up with his twin brother, Thousand-Pound Douluo, although they lack a spirit fusion technique, the tacit understanding they've forged over a hundred years far surpasses that of ordinary Super Douluos!

[Reward: 80,000-year-old Heavenly Awakening Saint Golden Dragon Soul Bone!]

……

[Ranked seventeenth on the Douluo Continent Power Ranking, the Thousand-Pound Douluo!]

[Martial Soul: Coiled Dragon Staff!]

[Account banned: Demon Slayer!]

[Level: 96]

[Affiliation: Spirit Hall!]

[Original Soul Skill: None!]

[Domain: None!]

[Evaluation: The sixth enshrined in the Hall of Worship in Wuhun City, wielding the Panlong Staff, a top-tier weapon spirit.]

The Martial Soul's true form seals a Heavenly Awakening Golden Dragon, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities and astonishing power.

In terms of personality, he is much more composed than the Demon Slayer, dislikes empty talk, and their century-long cooperation has been quite tacit.

But as I said before, the two brothers don't have a spirit fusion skill!

[Reward: 80,000-year-old Heavenly Awakening Saint Golden Dragon Soul Bone!]

[Note: It has been detected that Demon-Slaying Douluo and Thousand-Pound Douluo are brothers. If they are willing to give up their two 80,000-year-old soul bones, they can obtain a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!]

……

Wuhun City, Hall of Worship!

Looking at the choices presented by the Heavenly Path Golden List, Jiangmo and Qianjun couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

That's a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

Logically speaking, as brothers, and both possessing the Panlong Staff as their martial soul, their compatibility should be exceptionally high.

So many years have passed, they should have awakened their martial soul fusion skills by now.

However, somewhat embarrassingly, even after nearly a hundred years, the two can only cooperate but cannot awaken their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

If this got out, it would inevitably lead to criticism about the relationship between the brothers.

However, considering the currently discovered methods for awakening Martial Soul Fusion Skills...

Apart from Ghostly and Moonlit, it seems that all the Martial Soul Fusion Techniques involve women.

Even in a golden trio like Gangzi's, there's Liu Erlong.

None of them were martial soul fusion skills performed by real men!

This can be considered a strange tale from mainland China.

Surely you can't say that you can only awaken to the truth if you go to Brokeback Mountain and become a Chengdu resident?

If that's the case, the two brothers would rather not awaken!

However, the rewards from the Heavenly Ranking gave them a different perspective.

Is it really worth it to exchange two 80,000-year-old soul bones for a single martial soul fusion skill?

The two brothers, unsure of what to do, also sought out Qian Daoliu, hoping this veteran expert could offer them some advice.

"Great Master, that's the situation. I don't know what we should choose."

Seeing the hesitant Jiangmo and Qianjun, Qiandaoliu was also at his wit's end.

In order to investigate Qian Renxue's disappearance, Jin'e and Qingluan had previously left the Offering Hall and gone to Haotian Sect and Slaughter City respectively.

As a result, when a real problem arose, Qian Daoliu found that he didn't even have anyone to consult with.

Given the current situation, is it time to consider a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?

"The Soul Core Cultivation Method is one thing, but at least it was developed by referring to the Soul Cores of Soul Beasts."

But what exactly is this meridian cultivation method?

"I don't understand~"

"When I first awakened my Angelic Martial Soul at the age of six, I made rapid progress in my first meditation practice. Everything was still full of vitality, with all things thriving."

But how come everything has changed so much in such a short time?

These are unheard-of cultivation methods; they either don't appear at all, or when they do, there are two different kinds.

It's truly a case of the new generation pushing the old aside, while the old generation dies on the beach. Could it be... that I'm really getting old?
