Flame Meditation Method, Ring Fusion (Part 2)

"No problem, I'm not afraid of hard work!"

Ling Yun agreed, but upon hearing this, Huo Wushuang shook his head, thinking to himself, Junior, you are still too naive.

He had also practiced the Ring Fusion Secret Technique, but after several years of training, he still couldn't grasp the method.

In the entire Blazing Academy, only Huo Wu had successfully mastered the Ring Fusion Secret Technique, and even then, she was only a novice; there was a chance she could injure herself after using it.

From the moment Huo Wu said she would guide Ling Yun in practicing the Ring Fusion Secret Technique to make him stronger, Huo Wushuang knew his sister was absolutely pulling Ling Yun's leg.

However, he did not stop her; after all, if a genius like Ling Yun could join Blazing Academy, it would definitely be a good thing for them.

Thinking of this, Huo Wushuang couldn't help but smile: "Junior, let me take you to the dormitory first."

"Alright, Brother Wushuang."

As he spoke, Ling Yun followed Huo Wushuang into the dormitory building. After the two left, Feng Xiaotian followed Huo Wu like a tag-along, annoying her to no end.

After entering the dormitory building, Huo Wushuang found a single room and arranged for Ling Yun to stay there, then said: "Ling Yun, this is your room. Also, my room is on the first floor. If you need anything, just come find me, don't be a stranger."

"Understood, Brother Wushuang."

Ling Yun first tidied up the room, then activated the Flame Meditation Method and began to read.

The Flame Meditation Method was indeed worthy of being a top-tier meditation technique; it was far more profound than the primary meditation method he had practiced for two and a half years.

The primary meditation method directly absorbed free elemental energy from the air and used the martial soul to convert it into one's own soul power.

However, the energy in the air was impure and chaotic, making conversion quite laborious. Even with a top-tier martial soul like the Five Spirit Lock, it took a long time to convert it into soul power.

The Flame Meditation Method was completely different; it could directly absorb flame energy from the air and convert it into fire-attribute soul power.

Converting from flame energy to fire-attribute soul power was undoubtedly much easier, so even soul masters with lower-quality martial souls could rapidly increase their soul power.

If one were to meditate in a place filled with massive amounts of flame energy, such as a volcanic crater, the cultivation speed would increase even further.

After understanding the principles of the Flame Meditation Method, Ling Yun couldn't wait to start practicing. Feeling the soul power constantly growing within his body, he was overcome with joy.

And so, the night passed without incident.

The next morning, Ling Yun woke up early. After breakfast, he and Huo Wushuang found Huo Wu, who was currently at the school playground testing her third soul skill.

Just like in the original story, Huo Wu's third soul skill was called "Repulsive Fire Ring," which could use flames to whip up a wave of high-temperature heat, turning into a fierce wind that instantly blew away any soul masters within a sixty-meter radius.

Although this move had no offensive power, it could effectively protect teammates and prevent enemies from approaching, thereby covering the team's assault-type soul masters as they attacked. It was considered a decent soul skill.

If this skill were used after performing the Ring Fusion Secret Technique, its power would increase even further.

"Good morning, Sister Huo Wu!" Seeing Huo Wu, Ling Yun greeted her with a smile.

Hearing Ling Yun's slightly youthful voice, Huo Wu turned around abruptly and laughed: "Ling Yun, Brother, why are you two here?"

"I was originally going to Fire Cloud Mountain to cultivate, but this kid Ling Yun insisted on finding you to learn the Ring Fusion Secret Technique. I had no choice but to bring him to you."

Huo Wushuang spread his hands and shook his head helplessly. The "Fire Cloud Mountain" he mentioned was a dormant volcano located behind the academy; cultivating there would allow his soul power to increase rapidly.

"You really are an enthusiastic child, aren't you?" Huo Wu chuckled at these words, then continued: "Alright! Since you are so interested in ring fusion, I will guide you in practicing the Ring Fusion Secret Technique now."

Pausing for a moment, Huo Wu gathered her thoughts and began to explain to Ling Yun like a strict teacher.

"If you want to practice the Ring Fusion Secret Technique, you must first know what ring fusion is."

"Ring fusion, as the name suggests, is the act of merging all of one's own soul rings into one, thereby significantly increasing the age of the soul rings and further enhancing the power of one's soul skills."

"Generally speaking, ring fusion is a talent that only a few extremely special soul masters can achieve, but I believe you can do it. After all, you have Innate Full Soul Power and can absorb soul rings beyond your level; you are a special existence yourself."

"I'll demonstrate it for you first. Watch closely."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Wu walked over to a boulder that was five meters tall and looked very heavy. The first soul ring beneath her feet suddenly flashed.

"First soul skill: Flame Fist!"

In the blink of an eye, Huo Wu condensed fire-attribute soul power into her right arm, turning it into a raging inferno, and then threw a punch, slamming it heavily into the boulder in front of her.

Suddenly, a dull humming sound erupted, and then a dense web of cracks appeared on the hard boulder.

"Look, this is my first soul skill, Flame Fist. It's a close-quarters combat skill, and its power isn't very strong—it only left a few cracks on the boulder. But when I use the Ring Fusion Secret Technique, it's a different story."

With that, Huo Wu released her soul power. Two yellow and one purple soul ring soared into the sky, floating above her head. Then, she condensed her soul power, using it to forcibly compress the three soul rings together.

This was a process that consumed a great deal of soul power, and beads of sweat began to roll down Huo Wu's forehead. Fortunately, she practiced ring fusion often and had mastered certain techniques.

Finally, after more than a minute of compression, the three soul rings merged into one, becoming a glowing purple soul ring.

Judging by the color of the soul ring, the age of this fused soul ring was nearly three thousand years.

At this moment, Huo Wu continued to condense her soul power, and the fused soul ring above her head flashed suddenly.

"First soul skill: Flame Fist!"

Huo Wu punched toward the rock again. Before her fist even hit the boulder, the moment she threw the punch, Ling Yun felt a terrifying pressure, and a scorching heat wave came whistling toward him.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Huo Wu's delicate little fist slammed heavily into the boulder.

Boom--

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar echoed out, and then the boulder was seen shattering, exploding into countless fragments that shot out in all directions.

Huo Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled: "See? This is the power of the Ring Fusion Secret Technique!"

Although it took a bit longer than expected, this was my first time performing Ring Fusion with a thousand-year spirit ring; with more practice, I will be able to shorten the time required.

Furthermore, spirit masters with a single attribute find it twice as easy to cultivate Ring Fusion. Take me, for example: I am a fire-attribute spirit master, so all my spirit rings are fire-attribute as well.

Since the spirit ring attributes are identical, the fusion process is relatively easier. As for you..."

Huo Wu looked at Ling Yun as she spoke, frowning. "You said that you aren't a pure fire-attribute spirit master, so I'm not sure if you'll be able to learn Ring Fusion.

You can try it out first, but if you really can't master it, then give it up decisively!

Don't let a single secret technique hinder your spirit power cultivation. After all, with your talent, you have the potential to reach the level of a Title Douluo."
