The Snow Empress Won't Sacrifice Herself? A Crazy Idea for a Four-Person Fusion Skill!
It's late at night.
The courtyard of the White Tiger Duke Mansion was quiet, save for the occasional chirping of insects.
Dai Huabin lay on the bed, Zhu Lu was fast asleep with her head resting on his shoulder, breathing evenly, with a slight smile on her lips.
The joy of breaking through to the peak of level 39 with the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone Strengthening technique during the day had probably not yet dissipated.
Dai Huabin, however, couldn't sleep.
He stared at the beam above his head, his mind racing with thoughts about something.
The embryo of the Snow Empress.
The core reason why Ice Empress signed Blood Pact with him was to find Snow Empress.
But what happens after it's found?
According to the original story, Snow Empress lost a portion of her essence when she broke free from the seal on the God Sealing Platform, thus preventing her from successfully transforming into human form.
Electrolux sealed the Snow Empress's remaining essence within Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea. Later, within the Cold Jade Bed of the Clear Sky Sect, the Snow Empress's essence was ignited.
Electrolux risked his life to transform Snow Empress into Huo Yuhao's Soul Spirit, and his own spirit dissipated to become Huo Yuhao's third Martial Soul.
Ultimately, it was all to pave the way for Huo Yuhao.
But Dai Huabin is not Huo Yuhao!
I have already signed Blood Pact with Ice Empress, so Ice Empress will not die and there is no need for sacrifice.
What about Snow Empress?
If Snow Empress's embryo is found, would Ice Empress allow her best friend to tread the path of sacrificing herself to become Martial Soul once more?
The answer is obvious: impossible!
The Ice Empress went through great lengths to find the Snow Empress in order to save her, not to turn her into someone else's Martial Soul.
Dai Huabin thought about his Martial Soul again.
Ice Soul White Tiger is a single Martial Soul evolved after fusing with the bloodline of the Ice Empress.
The White Tiger's attack talent, combined with the enhancement of Ultimate Ice, indeed elevates its power by several levels.
But ultimately, he only has one Martial Soul.
In the world of the Douluo Continent, Twin Martial Souls are almost at the top of the food chain, and eighteen Soul Ring can cause Soul Power to increase rapidly in the later stages.
But Dai Huabin only has one Ice Soul White Tiger.
Is a single Martial Soul not enough?
Dai Huabin asked himself a question.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang Hao only had the Clear Sky Hammer as his Martial Soul, yet he still conquered the world.
Bibi Dong possessed Twin Martial Souls, yet she still lost to Tang San in the end.
The number of Martial Soul is never the decisive factor; the key lies in how to use them and to what extent.
His Blood Pact with Ice Empress has essentially made Ice Empress a part of his combat power system.
Ice Empress's Ultimate Ice, Ice Empress's domain, and Ice Empress's Soul Skill can all be used by him through the Blood Pact.
In a sense, Ice Empress is his "Second Martial Soul"—a living, conscious, and independent Second Martial Soul capable of fighting independently.
This is far better than being sacrificed as an inanimate object.
Thinking about this, Dai Huabin's inner turmoil lessened considerably. But new problems arose.
If the Snow Empress successfully transforms into human form, what will happen to the aura of the Soul Beast within her?
The Ice Empress was able to suppress her aura because the bond of the Blood Pact corrected her Soul Beast fluctuations to the level of a human Soul Master.
But Blood Pact can only bind one person, and he has already signed with Ice Empress.
Without the protection of Blood Pact, Snow Empress, with her cultivation level, would be nothing short of a sitting duck in the human world.
If this problem isn't solved, even if the Snow Empress transforms into human form, she can only hide in the Undead Semi-Plane.
Dai Huabin's thoughts raced for a while before suddenly settling on one person.
Zhu Lu.
He sat up abruptly, his movement a bit too abrupt, startling Zhu Lu awake. She groggily looked up at him.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep." Dai Huabin patted her shoulder and helped her lie down again.
Zhu Lu gave an "oh," turned over, and went back to sleep.
A somewhat crazy idea suddenly popped into Dai Huabin's mind.
His and Zhu Lu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Ice Soul Hell White Tiger, has a 100% perfect compatibility.
The Ice Empress and the Snow Empress also possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors.
If Snow Empress and Zhu Lu were to sign Blood Pact...
Will Zhu Lu's Hell Spirit Cat also change?
Just like his White Tiger evolved into the Ice Soul White Tiger?
Ice Shadow Spirit Cat?
More importantly, he is connected to Ice Empress, and Zhu Lu is connected to Snow Empress, and he and Zhu Lu themselves have a 100% fusion.
Four people, two Blood Pact, two pairs of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, all intertwined...
Isn't this the prototype of a four-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
Dai Huabin's breathing quickened.
He knew he might be thinking too far ahead, but once the thought popped into his head, he couldn't suppress it.
He needs to have someone confirm it.
Dai Huabin closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his spiritual sea, arriving in the space of the Eye of Life.
The silvery-white spiritual sea was calm and undisturbed, while in the distance, the Life Gold emanated a soft golden glow.
"Elder Yi, are you there?"
After several seconds of silence, just when Dai Huabin thought Electrolux was still asleep, a Youyou voice drifted over.
"I am here."
Electrolux's silvery mist slowly condensed above his mental sea.
Dai Huabin felt a little guilty. "Elder Yi, I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest."
"It's alright."
Electrolux's voice was calm. "The nourishment from the Life Gold has allowed me to recover faster than expected. Is there anything troubling you?"
Dai Huabin organized his thoughts and explained in detail his struggles regarding the Snow Empress Embryo and his considerations about Martial Soul versus dual Martial Soul.
Electrolux didn't rush to answer; he waited until the other person finished speaking before speaking.
"Huabin, what do you think Ice Empress means to you? Is it a tool of the contract, or a true ally?"
Dai Huabin was taken aback.
He already had the answer to that question.
From the moment they signed the Blood Pact in the Far North, from the moment Ice Empress shouted "He is mine" in front of the Scarlet King, from the moment he bought Ice Empress shoes, took her shopping, and fed her candied hawthorns, Ice Empress had long ceased to be a simple contractual object to him.
"Comrade-in-arms." Dai Huabin replied without hesitation.
"Then your answer is quite clear." Electrolux's tone carried a hint of relief.
"From a practical standpoint, sacrificing the Snow Empress to become your Martial Soul is indeed the most efficient choice. But you no longer need to take that path."
"Your Ice Soul White Tiger carries the bloodline of the Ice Empress, and the depth of the contract between you and the Ice Empress far exceeds that of an ordinary Blood Pact."
As your cultivation level increases, the power of the Ice Empress will be more deeply integrated into your Martial Soul system.
So what if you only have one Martial Soul?
"The combination of Ultimate Ice and White Tiger Martial Soul has a higher potential than most Twin Martial Souls."
Dai Huabin took a deep breath, feeling completely at ease.
Then he voiced his even crazier idea.
"Elder Yi, I have another idea."
"You say."
"If the Snow Empress successfully transforms into human form, the aura of her Soul Beast will be impossible to conceal without Blood Pact. Therefore, she needs to find someone to form Blood Pact with."
"Um."
"And I've already signed a blood pact with Ice Empress; Blood Pact can only be made with one person. Therefore, Snow Empress's contract partner can only be someone else."
Electrolux's silver mist rippled slightly, as if he had already guessed what he was about to say.
"Zhu Lu."
Dai Huabin's voice was very steady.
"My Martial Soul Fusion with Zhu Lu is 100%. I have Blood Pact with the Ice Empress. If Zhu Lu and the Snow Empress also sign Blood Pact, the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress will already possess the Martial Soul Fusion Skill 'Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors'."
So, with four people, two Blood Pact, and two fusion skills, is it possible to create a four-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill by combining them together?
My mind was quiet for a long time.
Electrolux's silvery mist swirled slowly, a sign that he was deep in thought.
"Theoretically..."
Electrolux spoke, his words slow and deliberate, as if carefully choosing each one.
"It's not impossible."
Dai Huabin's heart suddenly raced.
"The essence of Martial Soul Fusion Skill is that the Martial Soul of two Soul Master resonate with each other. The higher the degree of resonance, the greater the power of the fusion skill."
You and Zhu Lu have a 100% resonance, and there is also a very deep bond between Ice Empress and Snow Empress.
If these four nodes are connected through the bond of Blood Pact...
Electrolux's voice held a rare hint of interest.
"Huabin, your idea is very bold."
However, there is a prerequisite: Snow Empress must establish a sufficiently deep Blood Pact with Zhu Lu, and Zhu Lu's Martial Soul must also evolve due to Snow Empress's bloodline.
Fusion can only be achieved when the resonance of all four nodes reaches a certain threshold.
"Elder Yi, if the Blood Pact succeeds, will Zhu Lu also be able to use the Snow Empress's Soul Skill?"
"Of course. The essence of Blood Pact is the sharing of bloodlines. Zhu Lu can use the bond of the pact to summon the power of the Snow Empress, including Snow Empress Soul Skill. Moreover..."
Electrolux's tone carried a hint of excitement.
"If you and Zhu Lu simultaneously invoke the power of your respective contracted objects, theoretically, the two of you can unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Ice Empress and Snow Empress."
Dai Huabin's mind was buzzing.
The Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors.
There is also the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain.
