"The quality of a martial soul is indeed directly proportional to a soul master's Innate Soul Power, because that is power inherent to the martial soul itself. The higher the quality of the martial soul, the more Innate Soul Power it can generate and carry, and the greater the soul master's talent.
Blue Silver Grass is merely low-grade weed. The vast majority do not even possess Soul Power and cannot be considered soul beasts. If it becomes a martial soul, its Innate Soul Power will usually be below level 0.01, too low for ordinary tools to detect, which is why it is commonly called having no Innate Soul Power.
Innate Soul Power at that level is almost impossible to cultivate, much less cultivate to Sister Ah Yin's level. So I guessed that Sister Ah Yin's martial soul definitely isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
But Sister Ah Yin's martial soul truly is Blue Silver Grass, so I guessed that it must be a higher-grade Blue Silver Grass—perhaps king-grade Blue Silver Grass, or even the highest-grade emperor-level Blue Silver Grass.
I told you yesterday that our soul masters' martial souls are linked to the grades of soul beasts. Soul beasts have many different grades, even within the same species.
Take the Man Faced Demon Spider, for example. There are ordinary Man Faced Demon Spiders, king-grade Man Faced Demon Spider Kings, and even emperor-level Man Faced Demon Spider Emperors.
By the same logic, the Blue Silver Grass race must also have ranks, with higher-grade Blue Silver Grass existing among them.
Sister Ah Yin, your martial soul is either king-grade or emperor-level, and emperor-level is more likely. After all, the Life Force within the Blue Silver Domain is far too advanced. It would be impossible to obtain without reaching a certain level..."
Tian Hao recited the explanation he had prepared long ago. He would bet anything that the two of them could not spot a flaw in it.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Sure enough, Ah Yin could not help applauding in praise, and Tang Hao followed suit.
That analysis had been brilliant, every point fitting perfectly together.
"Your analysis is correct. My martial soul is called the Blue Silver Emperor. It is the emperor among Blue Silver Grass, a unique existence."
Ah Yin nodded in admission, appreciating the youth's talent even more.
"How are you going to help Ah Yin alter the Blue Silver Overlord Spear?"
Tang Hao pressed on. Naturally, he hoped Ah Yin could become stronger, especially in close combat, which had always been her weakness. She had even encountered danger several times because of it.
"How much do you know about Fusion Skills?"
Tian Hao smoothly brought up Fusion Skills. Next came the Fusion Skill section.
"I've heard a little, but I haven't studied them."
Tang Hao did not pretend to know more than he did.
Neither he nor the entire Clear Sky Sect had done much research into Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
"Get on with it!"
Seeing the youth rubbing his fingers together again, Ah Yin could only take out another Silver Soul Coin and flick it toward him, urging him to hurry up and explain.
Having received the payment, Tian Hao promptly got to work.
"Strictly speaking, Fusion Skills should actually be divided into stacking skills and fusion skills. Stacking skills are the stacking of identical martial souls, Soul Power, soul skills, soul bones, domains, and so on. Because their essences are the same, they do not undergo fusion and transformation; they only increase in quantity.
Fusion Skills, by comparison, are much more profound."
He paused there. After catching another Silver Soul Coin flicked over by Ah Yin, he continued, "I divide Fusion Skills into Soul Power Fusion Skills, soul ring fusion skills, Martial Soul Fusion Skills, Soul Bone Fusion Skills, domain fusion skills, and soul beast-soul master fusion skills.
Just as the name suggests, a Soul Power Fusion Skill combines the Soul Power of two or more soul masters, causing it to transform and ascend.
A soul ring fusion skill can combine the soul rings and soul skills of different soul masters, or it can combine a single soul master's different soul skills..."
"Ring Fusion!"
At that point, Tang Hao could not help crying out.
He truly had not studied Fusion Skills much, but he had heard of Ring Fusion. It was an ability that could fuse one's different soul rings together, increasing the might of soul skills. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had conducted deep research in that area.
Strictly speaking, the Clear Sky Sect's Great Sumeru Hammer also contained aspects of Ring Fusion. However, they exploded different soul rings and fused the Soul Power obtained from them into the Clear Sky Hammer, enhancing its might.
But in the end, what he fused was Soul Power, not the soul rings or soul skills themselves.
After catching another Silver Soul Coin Ah Yin flicked over, Tian Hao continued, "Ring Fusion has quite a few restrictions. The most important is the compatibility of the soul rings. The greater the compatibility, the easier the fusion and the greater the power.
According to my deductions, soul rings from soul beasts of the same species have the highest compatibility. Even if their soul skills differ, the essence of their power is the same, providing a foundation for fusion.
If all of a soul master's soul rings come from soul beasts of the same species but different cultivation ages, then theoretically, all the soul rings can be fused.
If that person reaches the level of a Titled Douluo and possesses nine soul rings, fusing them all might produce the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring..."
Having finished explaining the soul ring fusion skill, Tian Hao fell silent, because Ah Yin's next Silver Soul Coin had yet to arrive.
The main reason she had not paid him was that Ah Yin had been stunned by Tian Hao's theoretical speculation.
Even Tang Hao could not help looking at her, realizing that this theory was highly suited to Ah Yin.
Ah Yin's soul rings were all self-generated. The source power of every soul ring came from herself. Though their manifested soul skill effects differed, their essence was the same.
If she could fuse all eight soul rings, she might truly obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring ahead of time. Even if it was only temporary, it would be a qualitative improvement in battle.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring was entirely different from an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year soul ring. Even a Ninety-Thousand-Year soul ring was far inferior to one that had reached a hundred thousand years.
"Impossible. A Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring is a qualitative transformation. It cannot be accumulated through sheer quantity alone. But its power would definitely come infinitely close to that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring's soul skill."
Forcing herself to calm down, Ah Yin pondered for a while before rejecting Tian Hao's guess. However, she was only rejecting that particular guess, not beings like herself who were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that had taken human form.
Her own source power still remained within her body. After taking human form, the soul rings she generated were condensed from that source power. It was only because of her cultivation that most of the source power in her body could not be used.
It was merely that she did not yet have a soul ring capable of bearing all that power. In theory, once her Soul Power Level reached ninety and she condensed her final soul ring, it could become a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring and draw out all her power.
In other words, as long as she had one Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring, she could unleash all the source power within her body.
Furthermore, she already possessed the source power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. After fusing the first eight soul rings, she could condense a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul ring.
That was not even the end. Once she reached level ninety and condensed her final soul ring, she would possess two Hundred-Thousand-Year soul rings. Those two Hundred-Thousand-Year soul rings could be fused even further. Anyone could figure out the extent of the boost to her combat strength.
"Little Haozi, you're so smart!"
Excited, Ah Yin reached out and kneaded Tian Hao's cheeks. If her fiancé had not been standing nearby, she would have wanted to kiss him.
She had truly come to the right village. Whether she wanted to be with Tang Hao or find a way to resolve the conflict between soul beasts and human soul masters, she needed powerful strength as support. Only then would there be hope of achieving it.
This youth had brought her far too many surprises!
Tang Hao watched that intimate scene, and his jealousy nearly boiled over. But before it could fully erupt, the next scene left him utterly bewildered.
(Tian Someone: Uncle Tang Hao, I prefer it when you call me Chancellor. Go forth and strive with confidence after leaving your recommendation votes behind. I shall take care of your wife!)
