"I told you, I have a cleanliness obsession."
Tian Hao shoved away the delicate hand kneading his cheeks in distaste, then vigorously wiped his face with his sleeve as if it were covered in filth.
The sight froze Ah Yin's smile before it turned expressionless, even carrying a trace of ferocity.
My hands are perfectly clean, alright? What an unlovable little brat.
Still, angry as she was, Ah Yin flicked over a Silver Soul Coin, signaling for the youth to continue.
Catching the Silver Soul Coin, Tian Hao continued wiping his face as he said, "Martial Soul Fusion Skills are more complicated. Based on the proportion of power each side occupies, they can be divided into equal fusion, such as the Star Luo Empire royal family's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hell White Tiger.
"The second type is one primary and one secondary. You can all figure that one out yourselves.
"Besides that, there is another classification based on the characteristics of the fusion. One is complementary fusion, using each side's strengths to make up for the other's weaknesses and fill in the flaws of both Martial Souls. The other is a union of strengths, where both sides share the same advantages, and the fusion produces a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation.
"This classification can be applied to all Fusion Skills. Broadly speaking, they all fall into these two categories."
After catching his breath and accepting another Silver Soul Coin flicked over by the beauty, he continued, "Soul Bone Fusion Skills fuse the power of Soul Bones, but two Soul Bones must be in contact to transmit that power.
"In other words, you must have a Torso Soul Bone. Aside from spinal External Soul Bones, the Torso Soul Bone is the only Soul Bone that can connect with the other five Soul Bones.
"With the Torso Soul Bone as the foundation, you can fuse the powers of other Soul Bones and have them reinforce one another.
"But that raises the issue of compatibility. Soul Bones produced by different Soul Beasts naturally have fundamentally different powers. If their compatibility is too low, the powers of the Soul Bones will clash and be difficult to fuse.
"To obtain a Soul Bone Fusion Skill, either find Soul Bones from the same type of Soul Beast and refine them into your body, or find a power of a higher grade than the Soul Bones' power to forcibly cleanse and subdue them, giving them commonality.
"Alternatively, you can find a special Torso Soul Bone or spinal External Soul Bone capable of fusing multiple kinds of power, then use it to combine the power of the five great Soul Bones and obtain a Soul Bone Fusion Skill."
After finishing that, Tian Hao walked to the edge of the training ground and used Soul Power to draw out a ball of plain boiled water from a kettle. He drank half and used the other half to wash his face.
That woman Ah Yin's body fragrance was strange and highly adhesive. He had rubbed at it for so long, yet it still would not come off.
"There are still two you haven't talked about!"
Ah Yin flicked over another Silver Soul Coin and glared at the youth darkly, dearly wanting to punch him with her little fist.
My hands are clean, and they smell wonderful too.
Tian Hao maintained his businesslike attitude. After accepting the small payment, he continued his spiel.
"Domain fusion can also be divided into types. Some complement each other. For example, fusing a wind element domain with a fire element domain can enhance the fire element domain's power.
"Some fusions transform and produce new abilities. For example, fusing a flame domain with an earth element domain might create a magma domain.
"I've also heard legends about the Divine Beast Phoenix. In mythological legends, the Divine Beast Phoenix can be reborn from flames using its own fire. I guess that fire should be a special flame formed from the fusion of fire element and Life Force, possessing the power of rebirth.
"There are also unions of strengths that expand a domain's range..."
After finishing his explanation of Domain Fusion Skills, Tian Hao paused for breath. Then, after accepting another Silver Soul Coin carrying the beauty's body fragrance, he said, "Finally, the Soul Beast–Soul Master Fusion Skill is based on my conjecture that humans originated from Soul Beasts. Since both sides share the same origin, they should be able to fuse like a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Strictly speaking, when Soul Masters absorb and refine Soul Rings, it is already a fusion between Soul Beast power and a Soul Master's Martial Soul. As long as that foundation is developed more deeply, it should be entirely possible to fuse an entire Soul Beast into a Soul Master, or fuse a Soul Master into a Soul Beast..."
This inspiration mainly came from Huo Yuhao's acquired Martial Soul in Soul Land 2 and those Soul Spirits, proving that it was entirely feasible.
Of course, he could also think of the tailed beast jinchuriki from that Naruto world and the Venom from Marvel films.
"Based on this Soul Master–Soul Beast Fusion Skill, I have another conjecture. Fusion Skills are only temporary. If we can find a way to make the Fusion Skill permanent and eternal, could Soul Beasts and Soul Masters coexist? I call this the Soul Beast–Soul Master Symbiosis System conjecture."
As he spoke, Tian Hao appropriately introduced the conjecture of the Soul Beast–Soul Master Symbiosis System.
Ah Yin wanted to use this method to resolve the opposition between human Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. He also wanted to use it to indirectly change his own aptitude.
If he could fuse that Blue Silver Grass into himself for symbiotic dual cultivation, it would definitely indirectly increase his Soul Power cultivation speed.
Of course, it would be even better if Ah Yin could help that Blue Silver Grass evolve into something like a Blue Silver King.
Sure enough, the moment this conjecture was raised, Ah Yin's beautiful eyes shone brightly. This was what she valued most.
After staring blankly for a moment, Tang Hao finally understood why Ah Yin had decided to remain in this little village after reading those notes. So this was the reason.
And that reason was mainly so she could be with him. At that thought, Tang Hao's tiger eyes reddened, and he was deeply moved.
Ah Yin had sacrificed far too much for their relationship.
"Permanent fusion is too far away. We can start with Soul Master–Soul Beast Fusion Skills first."
Ah Yin had not let excitement cloud her judgment. She understood that the youth's ideas were merely conjectures and had yet to be verified.
Things had to be done step by step. Rushing would accomplish nothing.
Her tens of thousands of years of life had given her ample patience. She could take it slowly; there was no need to hurry.
"Strictly speaking, the order of Fusion Skills is Soul Power fusion, Soul Ring fusion, and finally Martial Soul fusion. We can start by fusing Soul Power."
Tian Hao nodded, indicating his agreement with Ah Yin's idea. He then extended his hand and condensed a thumb-sized ball of Soul Power in his palm.
"Both of our Martial Souls belong to the Plant System, so our compatibility should not be bad. Let's fuse our Soul Power first."
After signaling to Ah Yin, Tian Hao closed his eyes and activated his enlightenment function.
That earlier round of persuasive lecturing had earned him another wave of fortune, enough to use for a while.
Ah Yin did not hesitate either. Her fair, delicate hand settled into Tian Hao's palm, and she likewise separated a small ball of Soul Power to touch Tian Hao's, attempting to fuse them.
Using his enlightened state, Tian Hao adjusted his Soul Power bit by bit, actively accommodating Ah Yin's Soul Power.
In his enlightened state, his consciousness and thoughts underwent a comprehensive sublimation, bringing his control over Soul Power to an extraordinarily precise level.
Furthermore, he had continuously trained his Soul Power control techniques over the years, so making fine adjustments now was not difficult.
This method of adjusting one's own Soul Power was a required lesson for every Soul Master. It was taught even in elementary Soul Master Academies and was the method Soul Masters used to refine Soul Beast Soul Rings.
After all, Soul Beast Soul Rings were refined and fused, not merely suppressed or opposed. Naturally, one had to continuously adjust one's Soul Power to find the point of compatibility with a Soul Beast Soul Ring, increase their compatibility, and eventually fuse them as one.
At the same time, the comprehensive sublimation of his consciousness and thoughts raised his perception to the limit his body could bear, allowing him to sense Ah Yin's Soul Power characteristics with greater clarity.
With a clear target and sufficiently precise control over his own Soul Power, he was certain that he could succeed.
In truth, Soul Power Fusion Skills were the most basic and simplest among all Fusion Skills. The Shrek Seven Devils had mastered them in no time in the original story, so naturally they could not stump someone as overpowered as Tian Someone.
Watching his fiancée hold hands with another man, Tang Hao remained deeply displeased despite knowing they were doing serious business. But he could not interrupt them, so he could only turn around and watch their surroundings, standing guard for them so that what he did not see would not bother him.
Tian Someone: There will be fusion with the Blue Silver Emperor later too. Brothers, hurry up and support me with recommendation votes.
