After suffering a heavy blow carrying the lightning power of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's nine tails, the Three-Eyed Demon Fox completely fell into a state of severe injury and unconsciousness. That was because they were keeping Hu Liena in mind so she could absorb a soul ring later; otherwise, with their current strength, a single strike would have completely annihilated the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox! Under normal circumstances, the Bewitching Charm formed by Xie Yue and Hu Liena's current cultivation levels already possessed the combat power of an intermediate Soul Elder, and that was even with Hu Liena dragging them down. If Hu Liena's cultivation level were similar to Xie Yue's, both being Soul Grandmasters, the strength of the resulting Demon Charm would be comparable to a Soul Ancestor. Of course, given the soul power of two Soul Grandmasters, if they unleashed the combat power of a Soul Ancestor, it would probably disintegrate in less than a minute. Now, with the addition of Hu Bai, it was a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill with an extremely high degree of compatibility. Two Soul Grandmasters and one Level Ten Soul Scholar—the fused Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm already possessed Soul Ancestor combat power! Following that single strike, the Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm directly dissolved. In the span of a mere minute, the soul power of the three of them was on the verge of bottoming out. For low-cultivation Soul Masters, the consumption of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill was far greater than imagined, let alone a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Ten Thousand Years Later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, as Soul Grandmasters, executed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and had only enough strength for a single strike before exhausting their soul power. Furthermore, they were unable to use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill again for a week, a restriction later shortened to once every three days as their strength improved. This was why Hu Bai wanted Bibi Dong to use her cultivation level to quickly find a soul beast around them suitable for Hu Liena. He knew that after this fusion, wanting to fuse again would probably require a week. All three of them were eager to test the specific abilities of the Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm. Although Hu Liena's face was somewhat pale, she still took out a short blade from her storage soul tool and cautiously stepped forward, stabbing the Three-Eyed Demon Fox in the neck with a single blade. A yellow soul ring floated up from the body of the Three-Eyed Demon Fox, and the edges of this yellow soul ring radiated faint traces of purple. Unfortunately, this time there was no drop of a soul bone as everyone imagined. Actually, this was normal. The first two times soul bones dropped, and external soul bones at that, it had shocked them too much; it was simply too magical. The drop rate of a thousand-year soul bone was extremely, extremely low, let alone a hundred-year soul bone. To be honest, even Spirit Hall did not possess a single hundred-year soul bone. It could be said that for soul beasts under a thousand years, the probability of not dropping a soul bone was extremely close to one hundred percent. While Hu Liena was absorbing the soul ring, Qian Renxue stepped forward to support the somewhat weak-looking Hu Bai, her voice crisp. "Brother Bai, compared to the regular Demon Charm, aside from the overall combat power being stronger after fusion, does your Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm have any other additional abilities?" Regarding the Demon Charm, everyone present understood it relatively well. Its most characteristic features were the red mist and the close-combat capability of the moon blades. Clearly, the Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm possessed other abilities in addition to those two. For instance, what about that Sky Fox Domain? Would there be any drastic changes after the Martial Soul Fusion? Hu Bai and Xie Yue exchanged a glance. After a brief contemplation, Hu Bai said, "First is the Sky Fox Domain, I suppose. If I cast it alone, it can enhance my mastery over all elements, increase the power of all elements by twenty percent, and boost my own attributes by twenty percent. For soul beasts or soul masters with fox-type martial souls whom I regard as companions, all their attributes are increased by five percent. "As for those regarded as enemies, it will release pressure to exert bloodline suppression, the degree of suppression depending on the opponent's bloodline and rank. After the fusion, the effects of my Sky Fox Domain increased by about fifty percent." Regarding this, Hu Leyao also spoke up. "Mm, your domain ability did indeed increase quite a bit after your martial souls fused. It is said that domain abilities evolve as a Soul Master's cultivation level improves. The earlier a Soul Master comprehends a domain, the greater the probability they will comprehend new domain skills later on." "So Bai'er, once your strength improves, your Sky Fox Domain might even evolve!" A twenty-percent boost to one's own all-attributes and a twenty-percent elemental enhancement—in Bibi Dong's view, this was already defying the heavens, and he was only a six-year-old child! Having a domain herself, she knew that domains indeed evolved! As for how many times they would evolve, it entirely depended on the Soul Master's comprehension and creative ability regarding their martial soul and domain. Hu Bai, who was familiar with the plot, was naturally clear on this. Tang San's Slaughter Domain had evolved three times, and the Blue Silver Domain had also evolved three times. Hu Bai acknowledged this and continued, "Furthermore, after the martial soul fusion, even without releasing the domain, my mastery over elements was greatly enhanced. "Therefore, I surmise that once my cultivation level improves, even without the blessing of so-called soul rings, my mastery of elements can reach a level of normal application. "However, if there are soul rings, the effect will certainly be different. Soul rings can also amplify the power of elements for me." "Then there is the Nine-Tailed energy manifestation (materialization) that you all saw. Moreover, the nine tails can likewise carry elemental power and can stretch out; the further they stretch, the more soul power is consumed. As for what the limit is, we haven't tested it yet." The above constituted all the abilities currently possessed by the Nine-Tailed Bewitching Charm. As for whether there would be others in the future, it would depend on the future improvement and comprehension of the three of them. "Wah, Brother Bai, your abilities are simply too amazing! Right, there seems to be a compatibility issue with Martial Soul Fusion Skills. Can you three roughly sense what your compatibility rate is?" "The higher the compatibility, the greater the power that can be unleashed after the martial souls fuse." Hu Bai also shook his head and said, "Well, I don't know what the compatibility among the three of us is either, but based on my estimation, it should be around eighty percent." Achieving one hundred percent compatibility was far too difficult. Even with blood ties as close as those between him, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena, they could not reach one hundred percent. Ten Thousand Years Later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong achieving one hundred percent compatibility was truly baffling. One wondered if there was any 'rigging' involved. "Ah? Only around eighty percent? That's truly a pity. You three are only the second case on the mainland capable of executing a Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and you're blood relatives to boot. I thought it would be even higher, perhaps even reaching the legendary one hundred percent compatibility." At this moment, Bibi Dong spoke up. "A compatibility of eighty percent is already very high. Although I don't know what the compatibility of the Golden Iron Triangle is, I can be certain that it is very, very low. Their Three-Person Martial Soul Fusion Skill is often inferior to some normal two-person martial soul fusion skills." "Take Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, for example. Their compatibility is likewise not high, only around fifty, but their Two-Level Stasis Domain can lock down a Level 96 or even Level 97 Super Douluo!" P.S.: Brothers, let me ask you this: what attribute do you think is best for the protagonist to absorb for his third soul ring? What kind of soul beast would be better? It's best if it's extremely rare—the closer to ultimate, the better. He already possesses lightning and light; what element would be a good match for the third soul ring?
