Entering the World of Martial Soul Fusion Skills (3)

"Very good, then there's one more thing, a very important one."

Han Li in a great mood right now. He really enjoys the feeling of being a teacher and giving advice, which is a deep imprint left by his previous life of surfing the internet.

"According to records, many people who acquire the Martial Soul Fusion Skill later in life have very close relationships. They are either spouses or relatives and friends. Have you ever wondered why this is? Moreover, the records deliberately mention that if one party rejects the other, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill will fail."

"That means that the aura of Martial Soul and the fluctuations of one's own Soul Power can be changed after birth. For example, after my Martial Soul Evolution, my aura changed drastically. As for the fluctuations, although I'm not sure, they should be the same."

This time, it was Dugu Yan who answered first; she had also vaguely guessed Han Li's thoughts.

"Very good, Sister Yan is absolutely right."

Han Li gave her an approving look and continued, "Humans are creatures that are easily influenced by their surroundings, especially those close to them. Over the years, it is inevitable that they will be influenced by the other person."

"The same applies to Martial Soul. In fact, this is the so-called function of Martial Soul Mimetic Environment, which allows the Martial Soul to adapt to the surrounding environment and accelerate the cultivation speed."

"Master, you and your senior uncle can try to demonstrate your Soul Power fluctuations using the method Bing'er and I used before, and see if it matches my guess."

Broad Hill and Azure Luan exchanged a glance, one using cold air and the other using air to demonstrate their Soul Power fluctuations to the group.

"This is mine, for reference only. However, I just synchronized with Bing'er, so there may be some changes, but it should be enough for reference only."

Han Li also released his own Soul Power fluctuations and stood beside the two.

As expected, although the Soul Power fluctuations of the three did not reach the 70-80% similarity of Han Li and Shui Bing'er, if we take the central Broad Hill as the standard, the Soul Power fluctuations of Azure Luan and Han Li were close to 50% overlapped with his.

"I guess 60% is the minimum standard for the formation of Martial Soul Fusion Skill. After a successful attempt, the two will become more similar. This is why there is such a saying that even though they are Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they have different levels of proficiency."

"In our daily cultivation, we mostly use our Spiritual Power to drive our Soul Power, which is what I mean by emotional issues."

"Mental and psychological states greatly affect the fluctuation of Soul Power. This is why the Martial Soul Fusion Skill emphasizes emotional issues, and failure can occur if one party rejects it. Therefore, it is emphasized that both parties need to empty their minds as much as possible when completing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, in order to ensure that the fluctuation of Soul Power remains as normal as possible."

After Han Li speaking, Broad Hill tried to recall some things that angered him, and sure enough, the fluctuations of his Soul Power changed.

"That's really true."

Broad Hill began to manipulate different emotions, experimenting with how these emotions affected the fluctuations of Soul Power.

Seeing that his master seemed about to steer the conversation off-topic again, Han Li interrupted him, his expression turning serious.

"Here I must warn everyone about something: Spiritual Power is a very mysterious field, and I don't have a deep understanding of it yet. But never try to easily perform a progressive Martial Soul Fusion Skill with other people, especially if the subject of the evolution is not yourself."

What is the reason for this?

Seeing his serious expression, Broad Hill also gave up her playful intentions.

"Because I suspect that the main body of incremental evolution may affect the subordinate Soul Master of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill on a spiritual level. Moreover, as the Martial Soul Fusion Skill is used multiple times and the two sides become more and more compatible, the subordinate Soul Master will unconsciously take the other as the master."

"The source is speculated to be the ' Hell White Tiger '. You know, the Zhu family has been passed down for so many years, Zhu Family have never been weaker than the Dai Clan at all times, but they have always been willing to be vassals."

"Moreover, the records mention a Soul Douluo Hell Spirit Cat who was completely obedient to a White Tiger Soul Master who was stuck at the Soul Saint, without any intention of resisting. And she was the strongest person in the two families of that era."

"Although I'm not sure if my guess is true, we can investigate in this direction later. After all, nobody wants to be someone else's puppet."

Han Li's voice was ethereal, and he didn't elaborate, but he believed that the others were all intelligent and should understand what he meant.

The record is true; he did indeed see it in the Spirit Hall's records.

But his guess actually came from his memories of Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and Flender.

Zhu Zhuqing's change was the most obvious. Ever since she was persuaded by the Master to perform Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, the contrast between her before and after was too great.

As for Flender and Liu Erlong, in a fantasy continent where strength reigns supreme, their actions are truly hard to understand. They're already middle-aged; could Yu Xiaogang possibly follow Xiao Yan's example and say "Don't underestimate the poor middle-aged"? And turn his life around overnight? One gives up on the person he's secretly loved for a lifetime, and the other continues to have a one-sided love for twenty years after learning about their blood relation. What kind of feelings could be so intense?

If it were someone else, Han Li would still think it's possible. For example, if the person involved were Tang Xiao, he might believe it.

But he didn't believe Flender and Liu Erlong.

The key difference lies in their personalities: one is cunning and greedy, while the other is fiercely opposed to evil and has a fiery temper.

Shouldn't one take advantage of the situation while the other vows to kill the scumbag? The only possibility is that the influence of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was so great that it affected their original choices.

Of course, these were just Han Li's guesses, since he always assumed the worst about his enemies.

But that didn't stop him from warning the others. After all, what if? Hearing Han Li's words, the group couldn't help but shrink back, cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

If true, this kind of subtle influence is far beyond what Soul Skill effects can achieve.

"I will investigate further. If it is true, then the Dai Clan is definitely involved. They must know something."

Broad Hill and Azure Luan had identical expressions, both looking very serious.

"Hmm, it's best to investigate. If it's true, the Zhu Family's past leaders really are..."

Han Li shook his head, not finishing his sentence.

"What about Yu Xiaogang?"

Broad Hill suddenly mentioned someone who had been overlooked, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"He probably hasn't realized it yet, otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have been hiding in a place like Notting City for over a decade."

Han Li said with a bit of a laugh.

"That's true."

Broad Hill shook his head, his face full of disdain, thinking of Yu Xiaogang's past deeds.

Oh, right, I think I heard that Qian Xunji mention back then that Liu Erlong was Yu Xiaogang's cousin.

Ugh, even more disgusting.

Broad Hill shook her head uncomfortably, putting this ridiculous situation out of her mind.

"But just in case, let's get rid of him."

Broad Hill suppressed her disgust and prepared to kill him.

"Let's wait and see. After all, with his intelligence that's so bad he can even copy books wrong, plus his weak abilities, even if you tell him the theory, he'll probably add his own 'immature suggestions.' It'll probably be a long shot for him to figure it out on his own."

"Also, Bibi Dong has been silent since the competition a few days ago. Grand Uncle-Master must have his own ideas. It's best not to add anything unnecessary for now. Besides, keeping him around might be useful in the future. After all, he might be a good candidate to deal with our Pope."

Han Li seemed to realize something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Huh? Wait, how did you find out about this?"

Broad Hill first thought of something, and was overjoyed, then paused for a moment and looked at his apprentice.

"Oh, you mean this? He told me about it when I was chatting with my Grand Uncle-Master last time."

Han Li, without changing his expression, shifted the blame onto Qian Daoliu.

"Your older brother would tell you this?"

Broad Hill stared at him with some suspicion.

"Of course, otherwise, Master, how do you think I knew? My Grand Uncle-Master actually told me a lot more, but I can't possibly tell you everything one by one."

Han Li and his master exchanged glances, showing no guilt whatsoever, knowing that Broad Hill wouldn't question Qian Daoliu about this matter anyway.

"All right."

Sure enough, after watching him for a while and finding nothing, Broad Hill gave up on investigating further, though she still felt a little uneasy.

Brother, what exactly did you and my apprentice talk about? The most important thing is that you even told me this kind of thing, and you kept it from me.

He always felt like he was the outsider.

Writing these three chapters went quite smoothly, all in one go! The first chapter is to refine the setting, the second chapter, although it has a bit of a conspiracy theory feel to it, is also in line with the protagonist's character, and the third chapter is related to the side story that leads to later choices.

I just don't know how well everyone will accept it, lol o(╯□╰)o, let's see how things go and choose the storyline.
