Dao Heart Collapse

Dao Heart Collapse

Look! The entire venue was shocked by his masterpiece!

Shi Nian's heart surged with excitement. As he looked at Master Ratio, he seemed to already see himself replacing the other man and becoming a master of Spirit Hall.

His voice, amplified by the sound equipment, carried throughout the entire venue.

The audience gradually came back to their senses. As they looked toward the raised platform, each wore a different expression.

They could all tell that Shi Nian was here to challenge the event.

Without question, it seemed he had succeeded!

Faced with a groundbreaking theoretical achievement, what could Master Ratio possibly argue?

A Three Elements Fusion Skill? An idea that had never succeeded was nothing more than a self-deceiving joke.

On the Pope's Palace Rooftop, the worshippers all wore grim expressions.

"Damn it! Shi Nian dared to use Spirit Hall as his stepping stone? After this, he can forget about leaving alive!"

"Martial Soul Fusion Skills may be powerful, but compared with a Three Elements Fusion Skill, they might not necessarily have an advantage... Besides, his conditions should be even more demanding..."

"Don't be fooled. That isn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. At best, it's a cheap little trick."

Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, sounding unconcerned.

Shi Nian's Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill might fool others, but it could not fool him.

If it truly were a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, those seven students would certainly be able to unleash power beyond that of a Soul Emperor.

Clearly, at most, it was merely a Soul Skill at the peak of the Soul Ancestor level.

The worshippers sensed the radiance around the seven students again and nodded one after another, realizing where the problem lay.

However, among a crowd of millions, the number of people capable of seeing the issue was practically negligible.

Now, everyone had only one thought: Master Ratio's golden reputation was about to shatter!

Master Ratio turned to look at the seven students. They were still maintaining the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill, forming a motionless whole. Otherwise, they would not be able to sustain it for long.

"Relatively speaking, you've done quite well," Master Ratio said.

"Only quite well? It seems you have some brilliant insight of your own. Feel free to share it."

Shi Nian lifted his chin and looked down his nose at him.

Spirit Kite Douluo, always eager to stir up trouble, urged, "That's right, Ratio. Don't keep him waiting. And if you say something wrong, it'll be Spirit Hall that loses face!"

Hearing this, Shi Nian hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Your Excellency, please do not say that. In truth, I am also a registered soul master of Spirit Hall. I have always wished to join Spirit Hall and learn from the seniors!"

Shi Nian sweet-talked them. He did not want Spirit Hall to treat him like a thorn and pull him out!

This was the perfect opportunity to declare his loyalty!

Spirit Kite Douluo could not help laughing again. She nodded but said nothing, her beautiful eyes fixed teasingly on Master Ratio.

If her guess was correct, Spirit Hall would likely abandon Master Ratio as a master!

After all, they already had Shi Nian, a talent worthy of the title of master.

Master Ratio paid no attention to Shi Nian's arrogant attitude. His voice remained calm.

"Though it isn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and has many limitations, to the point that you cannot even move... the fact that you thought of such a substitute deserves praise."

Master Ratio first gave a summary.

"..." Shi Nian froze. Master Ratio had not lost his composure at all. He had even seen through the Soul Power Fusion Skill so easily?

The audience below erupted into waves of booing.

They all thought Master Ratio was putting on an act.

Faced with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he could still find something to criticize?

Master Ratio nodded and continued, "Similar martial souls, similar soul rings, even similar ages. You made them resonate with one another and achieved an effect resembling fusion."

"Unfortunately, no matter how many restrictions there are, resonance is still only resonance. It cannot provide much of an increase."

"What deserves praise is that you thought of using soul rings to create resonance. You are already far ahead of others in that regard, though it has no practical value."

"..."

Master Ratio casually explained the principles behind the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill.

Yes, as the name implied, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was about "fusion."

Like the Three Elements Fusion Skill introduced by Master Ratio, the components fused into one, naturally producing unexpected amplification.

But the core of the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill was "resonance."

It was like placing two tuning forks made from the same material together. Strike one, and the other would vibrate as well.

The Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill worked in exactly this way. Therefore, to imitate it, Shi Nian had no choice but to use the same materials—the same martial souls and soul rings—and remain motionless to achieve the effect.

As the audience listened to Master Ratio's explanation, they were all utterly confused.

Especially the ordinary people who were not even soul masters—they were even more lost.

Only fewer than a hundred people nodded from time to time, understanding the secret behind the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill.

Though they still held some expectations for it, they were no longer as stunned as they had been at first!

"!!!" Shi Nian stumbled back several steps. Listening to Master Ratio's assessment, he suddenly wanted to cover his ears.

A unique skill he had spent his entire life researching had been understood at a glance.

The emergence of genius was the destruction of a lifetime of mediocre effort!

Shi Nian kept retreating. He stared at Master Ratio's Plaster Head Sculpture, suddenly unsure whether he was in reality or a dream.

How could someone see the problem with a single glance?

How could he even peel back the layers and explain the underlying principle?

Spirit Kite Douluo looked at Shi Nian in confusion. "You're giving up that easily? Argue with him, confront him! Where did all that smugness from just now go?"

Shi Nian could not hear Spirit Kite Douluo's mockery. His entire mind was in chaos!

A lifetime of effort could not compare to a few minutes of someone else's thought.

What scholar could possibly endure that?!

Master Ratio had become interested. He strode quickly to the seven students, pressed a hand on one student's shoulder, and said, "Don't hold back. As the initiator of the resonance, you should release as much as possible. Also, there is room to optimize your position."

Master Ratio had never studied Soul Power Fusion Skills before. He had begun directly with Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

Now that he had taken over, he was guiding them entirely out of interest.

He changed the students' positions and adjusted their soul power output.

They no longer pursued complete uniformity in soul power. Instead, they complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses, gathering everyone else's soul power onto one person. The light they produced became even brighter!

In an instant, the Seven-in-One Soul Power Fusion Skill's power easily broke through from the peak of the Soul Ancestor level to the Spirit King level!

To Shi Nian, Master Ratio's casual actions were like watching a ghost or god.

"This... this... Is he really human? Why could he see it at a glance... Why? I put in so much effort just to derive the Soul Power Fusion Skill..."

Shi Nian muttered to himself. Even now, he could not accept the truth.

Yet the Soul Power Fusion Skill unleashed by the seven students shone as brilliantly as the sun, impossible to ignore!

"Enough! Enough! Stop, all of you!!!"
