Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm!

Bibi Dong had originally wanted Hu Bai to show them his newly acquired abilities, but considering that they still needed to obtain Hu Liena's First Soul Ring, there would be chances to see and understand them along the way. So she said, "Since you've already absorbed your Second Soul Ring, let's go obtain Hu Liena's First Soul Ring now."

The limit Hu Liena could withstand for her First Soul Ring was around eight hundred years, the same as Hu Bai's. That was two hundred years more than Xie Yue could handle, since Xie Yue was a year older than them and had consumed Whale Rubber for one less year.

Ever since learning that Whale Rubber could strengthen a Soul Master's physique, Spirit Hall had slowly begun acquiring it in secret. Since they did not want other factions to notice anything unusual, Spirit Hall's purchases proceeded very slowly.

Spirit Hall now had quite a stockpile of Hundred-Year and Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, but Ten Thousand Years Whale Rubber was pitifully scarce. There were only a few pieces, and none of them were large.

Whale Rubber itself came from Whale-type Spirit Beasts in the sea. For land-based Soul Masters, hunting Sea Soul Beasts was far more difficult than hunting land Soul Beasts.

Sea Soul Beasts of the same cultivation were generally much stronger than land Soul Beasts.

A Whale-type Spirit Beast that had just reached Ten Thousand Years would likely require several Soul Saints, or even Soul Douluo experts, to kill. That was why Ten Thousand Years Whale Rubber was so expensive, even if it was only used as an aphrodisiac!

"Teacher, could you wait a few minutes? I want to bury this Bright Unicorn first." Hu Bai pointed at the deep pit beside him as he made his request.

Only then did Bibi Dong and the others notice it. Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "Brother Bai, why?"

Based on the knowledge and understanding she had learned since childhood, it was only natural for Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts. They had been enemies from the moment they were born.

Hu Bai controlled the Earth Element, causing the ground beneath the Bright Unicorn to ripple and carry it toward the pit. Then he said, "I know Soul Masters are naturally opposed to Soul Beasts. If Soul Masters want to grow stronger, we need to obtain Soul Rings. That is the choice of this world's plane, and we cannot change it.

"But I've been thinking about something lately. Why is it that, aside from Weapon Martial Souls, nearly every Martial Soul possessed by Soul Masters has a corresponding Soul Beast somewhere on the continent? Why is that? Perhaps... humans were also a type of Soul Beast in ancient times. We simply mutated and evolved for some reason.

"Before obtaining a Soul Ring, I can kill them without hesitation. But after the battle ends, I still hope they can at least have a place to be buried."

(This was one of Third Young Master's settings in the early part of Soul Land 3, not something I made up. Another world's DEW theory of evolution.)

Even Hu Bai felt that his actions before and after were somewhat contradictory. Was it sympathy and pity for these Soul Beasts? It did not seem like that either.

Hu Bai's theory shocked everyone present. Soul Masters had evolved from Soul Beasts?

This was the first time they had heard such a novel theory, and it had come from the mouth of a Six Years Old child!

As Bibi Dong looked at Hu Bai's figure in flowing white robes, she thought for the first time that this Little Fellow seemed rather interesting.

Although she did not know whether the theory was true, Spirit Hall could still investigate it.

Spirit Hall had a dedicated group of people researching and collecting theories about Martial Souls. They might find this interesting.

After the Bright Unicorn's corpse had been buried, Hu Liena finally voiced the question in her heart. "Brother, I want to test whether we have compatibility for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. On the day your Martial Soul awakened, I seemed to feel something. I don't know whether you felt it too."

"Oh, right. I already tested it with Eldest Brother. The two of us can fuse into Demon Charm just like Father and Mother."

Only after Hu Liena's reminder did Hu Bai remember something. He immediately took Hu Liena's boneless Little Hand in his palm. "I'll send Soul Power into you. Let's sense it together."

Xie Tian, Hu Leyao, and the others held their breaths as well. If Hu Bai and Hu Liena also possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then their family would have two Martial Soul Fusion Skills?

However, after their Soul Power fused together, they could indeed sense their Martial Souls responding to each other. But that was still not enough. Hu Liena asked in confusion, "We clearly have compatibility, so why can't the two of us fuse together?"

Hu Bai was puzzled as well. At that moment, Xie Yue spoke up. "Why don't the three of us try together? I should have compatibility with both of you too."

The instant Xie Yue said this, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.

Xie Tian frowned. "Yue'er, are you sure you're not joking? If it succeeds, this would be a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Aside from the Golden Iron Triangle, there has never been a second case of a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill on the continent."

When Xie Tian mentioned the Golden Iron Triangle, Bibi Dong could not help frowning. The hostility in her heart was about to erupt, but then Hu Bai's magnetic voice reached her ears. That nameless fury instantly vanished, leaving even her stunned. Had that emotion been purified?

"Father, let Eldest Brother try it with us. What if it works?"

Hu Bai also suppressed the excitement and anticipation in his heart. This was a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

As for whether the soul skill formed when the Golden Iron Triangle fused into the Golden Sacred Dragon counted as a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he had no comment.

All right, he had never considered it a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Luo Sanpao had originally been a Golden Sacred Dragon hatchling; Yu Xiaogang simply did not know how to raise him. Liu Erlong provided the dragon body needed for his evolution, while Flender provided abundant Soul Power?

That was the only way Hu Bai could interpret it. Otherwise, what other purpose could Flender possibly have?

After Xie Yue took Hu Liena and Hu Bai's hands respectively, the three of their Soul Power intertwined. In an instant, a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from between them as their figures merged together!

They became... Demon Charm?

No, not quite. It had Demon Charm's form, but its originally jet-black armor had turned silver-white. Nine snow-white fox tails had also grown from its lower back.

Most importantly, those fox tails were physical!

When a Beast Martial Soul possessed a Soul Master, it would grant the Soul Master certain traits of that Beast Martial Soul. But parts such as tails were usually illusory, unless one possessed an External Soul Bone.

In the original story, Hu Liena had a fox External Soul Bone that made her tail physical.

"It actually worked?" Xie Tian stared in astonishment before bursting into delight. "You three are incredible! This Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill should have a new name. Don't call it Demon Charm anymore."

Then the silver-white figure spoke. This Martial Soul Fusion Skill was led by Hu Bai, so its voice sounded more like his. "Father, how about calling it Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm?"
