The conditions for Soul Power Fusion

"Full soul power with my target soul beast? Why do I do this?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

Chen Feng explained:

"It's because I believe that Soul Master obtains Soul Ring and breaks through by fusing with the Soul Power of the Soul Beast within the Soul Ring, thereby enhancing a certain characteristic of their own Soul Power. So I wanted you to try it and see if you could break through your realm through this method."

"Low-age plant-type Soul Beast have almost no intelligence, only instinct. Your Blue Silver King Martial Soul has a life force, making you more Favor to plant-type Soul Beast. I think it would be easier for you to conduct this experiment."

"I see." Tang San nodded, understanding Chen Feng's idea. "Alright, then I'll give it a try."

After finalizing the experimental plan, Chen Feng, Tang San, and Tang San Xiao Wu set off for the Sand Gold Valley.

On the surface, Chen Feng didn't ask anyone for help this time, but secretly Old Meng was following him, and Tang Hao was protecting him, so Chen Feng didn't need to worry about encountering danger in the Sand Gold Valley.

The three of them, familiar with the route, rented a horse-drawn carriage and arrived at Sand Gold City. After resting in the city for one night, they went directly to the valley.

The first target to search for was naturally the immovable Jade Bamboo, as Chen Feng also wanted to verify his conjecture as soon as possible.

Thanks to the protection of Old Meng and Tang Hao, the three of them encountered virtually no danger and found several Jade Bamboo, the oldest of which was nearly eight hundred years old.

The Jade Bamboo is a Soul Beast with little offensive capability; its safety is protected by a Soul Beast called the Bamboo Bear.

The Bamboo Bear looks somewhat like a panda on Earth, appearing rather endearing. It feeds on Jade Bamboo, but does not damage the roots of the Jade Bamboo Jade Bamboo, thus not endangering its life.

Jade Bamboo grows quickly, providing ample food for Bamboo Bear, thus forming a unique symbiotic relationship between the two.

There weren't any high-level Soul Beast in the Sand Gold Valley, so Old Meng was able to handle it easily. After driving away the Bamboo Bear, Chen Feng and the other two arrived near their target.

"This is the nearly eight-hundred-year-old Jade Bamboo. I'll choose it." Tang San made his decision, looking at the thick, jade-like bamboo before him.

"Let's do the experiment quickly!" Xiao Wu said impatiently.

"Hmm." Tang San nodded, sat cross-legged in front of the Jade Bamboo, placed his hand on the Jade Bamboo, and then closed his eyes.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul spread out around his body, radiating the aura of life.

Chen Feng and Xiao Wu waited quietly, while Old Meng paid attention to the surrounding movements. He didn't quite understand what the three children were going to do, but he didn't care and just focused on doing his guard duty.

After a while, Tang San frowned and withdrew his hand.

"No, Xiao Feng, I can't merge my Soul Power with it."

"Unable to merge? Why?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"When Xiao Wu and I were Soul Power Fusion, I could clearly feel Xiao Wu's active cooperation. It was only through our joint efforts that we were able to successfully merge our Soul Power."

But this Jade Bamboo...

"But they lack wisdom, so they won't consciously cooperate with you, right?" Chen Feng sighed.

"Yes, I channeled my Soul Power into the Jade Bamboo, but the Jade Bamboo didn't Soul Power at all. It was like a stagnant pool of water. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't Soul Power Fusion with it," Tang San said, somewhat frustrated.

"Without intelligence..." Chen Feng frowned. "I originally thought that plant-based Soul Beast without intelligence would be easier to Soul Power Fusion, but I didn't expect it to be more difficult. This is really... sigh."

Xiao Wu said with some doubt:

"But if we're really talking about it, doesn't the Soul Power within Soul Ring lack intelligence? Even Soul Ring that are hundreds or thousands of years old don't contain complete Soul Beast souls. Why don't we encounter this situation when absorbing Soul Ring?"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then guessed:

Could it be due to a problem with the way the Soul Power circulates?

"The route of Soul Power circulation?" Xiao Wu, somewhat puzzled.

"Here's what I think: the Soul Power within a human body operates along a certain path, and most Soul Beast do the same. Xiao Wu, you should be able to understand that, right? After all, you've also practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill," Chen Feng said, looking at Xiao Wu.

Yes, not long after Tang San passed on the secret techniques from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to Chen Feng, he also passed them on to Xiao Wu.

Compared to the Tang Sect in his previous life, Tang San cherishes his two current friends even more.

However, Xiao Wu did not choose to practice them all. Instead, she only practiced the Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Mysterious Heaven Skill. Xiao Wu was not interested in the others.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Xiao Wu nodded and said:

"Yes, I understand. The Soul Power within Soul Beast should also circulate along a certain route; this logic makes sense."

Having received Xiao Wu's confirmation, Chen Feng felt reassured and continued:

"If it operates along a certain route, then as long as the Soul Beast is still alive and doesn't actively mobilize its Soul Power, it's difficult for the Soul Power to leak out. It's like water in a pipe; as long as the pipe is intact, the water won't leak out, and naturally, it's difficult for us to use the water for anything."

Tang San understood what he meant, "Once the Soul Beast dies, it's like a water pipe has burst, so we can collect the water and use it."

"That's right." Chen Feng nodded. "So if we want to Soul Power Fusion of Soul Beast, we either need to find Soul Beast that is willing to cooperate, or we have no choice but to kill the Soul Beast."

"Actually, this water pipe explanation isn't entirely accurate, because it doesn't explain why Soul Ring can only be absorbed by those who kill Soul Beast."

"Perhaps it's the Rules of the world," Xiao Wu said.

Chen Feng glanced at her, nodded, and stopped dwelling on the matter.

"So, should we continue the experiment?" Tang San asked.

"Looks like we can't experiment anymore." Chen Feng shook his head. "Let's just get the Soul Ring, Xiao San."

Tang San sighed, "It's a pity, there's no way to verify your conjecture."

Under the influence of his own Martial Soul traits and Chen Feng, he gradually came to appreciate the preciousness of life. Fortunately, the Jade Bamboo this time was not intelligent, which made him feel a little better.

Tang San took out a shovel and began digging. To kill a Jade Bamboo, he had to destroy its roots.

Chen Feng, however, began to think.

The failure of this experiment caught him off guard, and the fact that the Soul Power Fusion required the other party's active cooperation became a major hurdle for him.

Intelligent and powerful Soul Beast are mostly hostile to humans, while weak Soul Beast cannot provide high-quality Soul Ring.

Although Xiao Wu is Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, she has already transformed into a human, so the reliability of the experimental results she provides is not high.

Therefore, Chen Feng had to think of another way.

After Tang San spent considerable effort killing the Jade Bamboo with Old Meng's help, he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng paced back and forth, pondering the matter of the Soul Ring Experiment.

As he just said, to conduct this experiment, it is necessary to find a Soul Beast that is willing to cooperate, and the Soul Beast's age-limited Soul Skill must also be suitable.

There's basically no point in hoping for low-level Soul Beast; these Soul Beast have limited intelligence and probably can't even understand what Soul Power Fusion means.

According to Di Tian from Douluo Dalu 2, only Soul Beast that have Ten-Thousand-Year can develop sentience.

If you want to have a simple conversation with Soul Beast, you would probably need Soul Beast that is at least Thousand-Year level to be able to roughly understand human speech.

In other words, to conduct this experiment, we'll have to wait until Chen Feng obtains his Third Soul Ring at least.

However, it's not impossible to give this Second Soul Ring a try. Although mantises are insects and probably not very intelligent, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

In addition to communicating with the target Soul Beast, Chen Feng also came up with a rather outrageous method.

That means going to find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Chen Feng had previously communicated with Xiao Wu and learned that powerful Soul Power control is indeed the threshold for a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to evolve into Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Only by fully controlling every change in its own Soul Power can Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast advance to a hundred-thousand-year-old one.

In other words, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast generally possess powerful Soul Power control, and they should be able to actively Frequency Reduction of their own Soul Power.

If Chen Feng can find a friendly Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, then he can do this experiment however he wants.

Unfortunately, this method is pure wishful thinking.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

Apart from Xiao Wu, who has already transformed into human form, and the Blue Silver Emperor, other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would probably attack anyone they see without saying a word.

The hatred between the human and Soul Beast races has lasted for countless years, making cooperation extremely difficult.

But that's okay, the higher the difficulty, the more challenging it is, and Chen Feng likes to take on difficult tasks.

Tang San's process of absorbing the Soul Ring went smoothly, and he obtained his Second Soul Ring without any unexpected incidents.

"What Soul Skill did you acquire, Xiao San?" Chen Feng asked as soon as Tang San opened his eyes.

"It's a very good Soul Skill that can greatly enhance the growth rate of my Blue Silver Grass." Tang San said as he summoned the Blue Silver Grass.

At this time, the Blue Silver Grass has undergone a significant change. Many of its original grass-like characteristics have disappeared, replaced by thick, woody branches, giving it an overall azure blue appearance.

The branches also have segmented ring-shaped patterns, resembling bamboo joints.

Tang San pointed to the Blue Silver Grass he had summoned and introduced it:

"This Soul Skill allows me to summon Blue Silver Grass grows much faster whenever I'm standing on the ground, and my stamina and Soul Power also recover more quickly. Combined with the Photosynthesis of my First Soul Skill, I feel that if I continue to develop like this, I probably won't have to worry about running out of stamina and Soul Power."

"That's not all." Chen Feng took out a small mirror from his ring and handed it over. "Look at yourself, you've changed a bit too."

Tang San curiously took the mirror and looked at himself. "My hair has turned more blue, and I feel like I look a bit more delicate."

"Yeah, he's gotten a lot more handsome. It's amazing that his Martial Soul Evolution can even improve his appearance. I'm so envious. I wish my Martial Soul could evolve too," Chen Feng said sourly.

Tang San was speechless. "What's there to envy? You're already handsome enough. If you got any more handsome, how would anyone else survive?"

"Who would complain about being too handsome?" Chen Feng said, flicking his hair.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Old Meng:...

The three looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and an awkward silence fell over them.

Feeling embarrassed by the lack of anyone to save face, Chen Feng had no choice but to forcibly change the subject:

"Let's go find the Gold Blade Mantis and try the experiment again."

"Wait, wait, wait! My experiment with Xiao San hasn't been done yet," Xiao Wu said hurriedly.

Chen Feng then realized he'd forgotten something, "Oh right, you two should try Martial Soul Fusion again."

"Come on, Xiao San, I'm going to succeed this time!" Xiao Wu said, getting into position first.

Others assumed she was referring to Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Chen Feng knew that the Rabbit Spirit was probably just trying to conceal her presence.

Tang San was also very interested in Martial Soul Fusion Skill; he wanted to know what the effect of his and Xiao Wu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be.

So he sat down cross-legged and let Xiao Wu grab his wrist again.

The exact same scene as the previous two times appeared again, with the phantom of the Blue Silver Grass drifting towards the phantom of the Soft Bone Rabbit.

However, the same scene as in the first experiment occurred: when the illusory image of the Blue Silver Grass drifted near the Soft Bone Rabbit, it quietly shattered into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

"The two illusory figures are closer than before." Chen Feng keenly noticed the change in the situation.

He still remembered that during the first experiment, the phantom of the Blue Silver Grass shattered before it even reached the middle of the two of them.

The second time, the Blue Silver Grass phantom shattered as soon as it appeared, but this time it lasted longer than the previous two times.

Tang San and Xiao Wu were in slightly better condition than the previous two times. This time, they were not exhausted, but their Soul Power and physical strength were greatly depleted.

After Tang San and the other man had recovered for a while, Chen Feng told them about what he had just seen.

Tang San scratched his head after hearing this, and said with some distress:

"So, my Martial Soul phantom shattered first? Does that mean I have to fully awaken my Martial Soul to succeed?"

"It's alright, Xiao San," Xiao Wu patted Tang San's shoulder reassuringly. "It's okay that you didn't last long this time; you can just last longer next time."

Chen Feng:

He felt that these words were ambiguous no matter how he listened to them.

Old Meng, standing to the side, also had a strange expression on his face, thinking to himself, "Are kids these days so precocious?"

Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who was in the distance, was staring intently at Xiao Wu, muttering unconsciously:

"Really. It worked! This Little Rabbit actually succeeded? Ah Yin, if only you had known this technique back then..."

Chen Feng helped Tang San up from the ground, while Xiao Wu happily jumped up and down on her own.

Seeing her like this, Chen Feng's heart stirred, and he asked:

"Xiao Wu, why are you so happy?"

"Huh?" Xiao Wu was taken aback. Seeing that Tang San and Old Meng were also looking at her, she quickly said:

"Of course I'm happy! This time it's even better than the first time, which means we're closer to success. Shouldn't we be happy?"

"That's true." Tang San nodded, no longer finding it strange.

Chen Feng knew in his heart that Xiao Wu had probably succeeded this time, but he didn't know how effective it would be.
