What Was Truly Terrifying Was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill was not simply one plus one equaling two. Even two completely identical martial souls might not possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, because it required complementarity and a perfect match. When a Martial Soul Fusion Skill emerged, its power reflected far more than the levels of two soul masters—it was something beyond that!

Master explained Martial Soul Fusion Skills to Tang Jiu and Tang San, leaving Tang San utterly shocked. Little Jiu was practically a monster!

Master continued, "Xiao San, although you also possess Twin Martial Souls, the chance of your two martial souls fusing is practically zero! Very few martial souls in this world can fuse in the first place, and those that are Twin Martial Souls are even rarer!"

"However, Little Jiu's Spirit Ring Spirit can fuse with any martial soul! Therefore, his greatest trump card is actually the Martial Soul Fusion Skill produced by fusing his two martial souls!"

"Two martial souls, eighteen spirit rings, perfectly fused together—just imagine how terrifying the power they could produce would be!"

Even Master was further shaken by the unimaginable scene in his mind after saying that.

Tang Jiu sucked in a cold breath. Master truly was Master. He had never considered Martial Soul Fusion, yet it was absolutely feasible. Spirit rings could fuse with any martial soul—there was no question about it!

"Little Jiu, whether or not you become my student, I must warn you: never use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill recklessly! When two soul masters use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the power of both people is combined, but that power is borne by two people. But if you fuse your two martial souls and use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then you alone will have to bear all the energy added by both martial souls. While it can grant you incomparably powerful strength, it will also cause extremely severe damage to your body!"

Master gave the warning solemnly.

"I am willing to take you as my master!" Only now did Tang Jiu realize that even though he had read Douluo Continent, Master could still crush him when it came to knowledge of martial souls. If he wanted to gain great power and become the strongest soul master, he needed Master's guidance!

Tang San also bowed to Master and became his disciple.

"Good, good! I never expected to take in two extraordinary talents as disciples at once!"

"Little Jiu, can you do your teacher a favor?" Master looked exceptionally excited at that moment!

"Please tell me, Teacher!" Tang Jiu had no idea why, but he still nodded.

"My Soul Power has been stuck at level 29, unable to advance any further! I once believed that I would never break through level 30 in this life and become a Soul Elder, but after seeing your Spirit Ring Spirit, I know one of my lifelong wishes is about to come true. Only you can help me!"

"Help you break through level 30? How is that possible? My Spirit Ring Spirit restricts the other party's spirit rings! How can it help you?" Tang Jiu felt unable to keep up with Master's train of thought. He looked completely baffled, only to see that Tang San was equally confused.

Master excitedly tapped the table. After organizing his thoughts, he said with agitation, "Restrict the spirit rings!"

"At level 29, I possess two spirit rings. If you restrict one of my spirit rings, I will have only one left. Wouldn't that mean I could absorb another spirit ring!"

"You must know that spirit rings contain energy. Once I successfully absorb a spirit ring, my Soul Power will definitely increase. Wouldn't I then easily break through to level 30 and directly obtain a third spirit ring!"

Tang Jiu and Tang San were both stunned. This was what made Master, Master!

His first encounter with the Spirit Ring Spirit, and he could already exploit it to the utmost. He truly deserved to be a genius unrivaled in theory!

Master worked through his own line of reasoning and found that it would be so easy to put into practice. His entire body radiated joy.

The aura of an ascetic monk around him instantly faded considerably. Clearly, breaking through level 30 had become an obsession in his heart!

"Teacher, if you think it will work, then it will work! Just tell me what to do when the time comes." Tang Jiu had originally thought that Master would seem to break through level 30 after consuming a top-grade Immortal Herb. But for Master, waiting another seven or eight years would be painful torment.

Besides, the effects of consuming an Immortal Herb after breaking through might even be better!

Thus, Tang Jiu no longer insisted. Instead, he asked Master, "Teacher, what direction should my martial soul develop in?"

"For your Power Type martial soul, I suggest taking an extremely domineering burst-damage path. Your soul skills should all be the kind that greatly increase your strength for a short period of time!"

"This is because your Spirit Ring Spirit is a martial soul capable of restricting your opponent's abilities, but that restriction will certainly have a time limit. Therefore, you need high burst damage and should strive to kill with a single blow!"

After speaking, Master looked at Tang Jiu and said, "If you had ordinary Twin Martial Souls, I would advise you to focus on cultivating one martial soul and not attach spirit rings to the other. But you are too unusual, so I will give you a choice!

"If you cultivate both martial souls at the same time, you will undoubtedly be extraordinarily powerful in the early stages. You will crush opponents of the same rank, and fighting across ranks will not be difficult. But after reaching the rank of Titled Douluo, your combat power may not reach the theoretical limit!

"But if you cultivate only one martial soul, you will only be invincible among those of the same rank in the early stages, and it will be difficult to fight across ranks! However, when you become a Titled Douluo, you will reach the greatest combat power possible in theory!

"Which one you choose is up to you!"

Without even thinking, Tang Jiu immediately said, "I want to cultivate both martial souls at the same time!"

Slowly developing and saving it all for the late game was not his style. Of course he would keep crushing everyone—it felt great!

After guiding Tang Jiu, Master finally turned to Tang San. "Let me see your second martial soul! Do you mind?"

"Of course not!"

According to the Tang Sect's General Principles, once a teacher, a father for life! A master was the person most worthy of trust, just like one's parents!

Tang San immediately activated his Soul Power. A pale blue glow blossomed, and a small hammer appeared in his left hand!

Master's pupils abruptly contracted. He had already expected Tang San's second martial soul to be extraordinarily ordinary, but he had never expected it to be the Clear Sky Hammer!

"Your surname is Tang... I should have realized it long ago."

Master suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "You must never let anyone see this martial soul, and do not attach spirit rings to it!"

Master's words left Tang San very surprised. "My father said the same thing. Master, why is that?"

Master was actually more curious. "Xiao San, what does your father do?"

"My father is a blacksmith."

Upon hearing that, Master understood. It seemed Xiao San did not know his father's true identity. In that case, he could not tell him the detailed reason yet.

Master said, "It is not yet time to tell you. You only need to know that your father and I are making this request for your own good."

Tang San nodded and asked no more questions.

"Alright, I'll take you to register for enrollment. After tomorrow's opening ceremony, I'll take you to find suitable spirit rings. Tonight, I'll begin considering what kinds of spirit rings would suit you, and which spirit rings would suit me as well!" Master clenched his fists.

Tang San felt rather excited. He would soon be able to obtain a spirit ring. Perhaps the Mysterious Heaven Skill would also break through once he became a soul master. He would definitely catch up to Little Jiu!

After Master finished speaking, he took the two of them to the academic affairs office to register. He rarely went there normally because the people there loved to gossip, but today, having accepted two good disciples, he was in a much better mood.
