An unexpected compatibility, research into the Dragon Concealment Method

At the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yuena watched the Soul Tool Airplane leave the airport, then turned to look at Huo Yuhao.

"Xu Xiaoyan and the teacher have already left."

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao responded, his gaze still fixed on the disappearing flight path on the horizon.

Gu Yuena walked to his side. "Yuhao, when do you plan to go to the Blood God Legion? Abyss energy will be useful to you, right?"

Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Gu Yuena, and said softly, "No rush. Going to the Abyss Passage to kill Abyss Creatures now will only alert the Abyss Plane."

"Once Wulin displays the devouring power of the Golden Dragon Spear in the Abyss Passage, the Abyss's attention will definitely shift to him, which may then draw out the powerful Abyss Emperor —I've already prepared a backup plan for Wulin, and I'll reap the rewards then."

Let the bullets fly for a while.

With his current strength, going to the Abyss Passage would be like mowing down grass; he wouldn't gain much Abyss energy, and it would only alert the Abyss, causing it to stop sending Abyss Creatures to attack. It would be better to wait for a better opportunity.

Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject, "Yuhao, you've been working on improving the Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell these past few days. Now that you finally have some free time, shouldn't you keep your promise to me?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll accompany you to try out Martial Soul Fusion today."

A glint of light flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards. She didn't speak, but simply stretched out her hand, palm facing upwards, silver light patterns flowing at her fingertips.

Huo Yuhao looked at that fair hand and placed his own hand on top of it.

Two completely different yet inexplicably compatible auras collided between their clasped palms. They closed their eyes and sensed it for a few minutes before opening them and looking at each other in surprise.

"It seems—an unexpected fit." Gu Yuena's tone carried a hint of surprise.

After experiencing it for a while, she discovered that the compatibility between Huo Yuhao's two Martial Soul and her was quite high.

Huo Yuhao said thoughtfully, "The Ice Emperor Martial Soul has been sublimated because of your bloodline and the power of the Ice Dragon King, and with the addition of the Power of Destruction, its compatibility with you is naturally quite high."

"As for the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul —is it because of the inclusiveness and Power of Creation inherent in spiritual Martial Soul?"

In Huo Yuhao's opinion, if one were to truly delve into the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul would actually be quite versatile and highly compatible, likely fitting well with most Martial Soul.

Because it only needs to provide Spiritual Attribute and Divine Power amplification, it can act as an all-purpose adhesive.

For example, although everyone says that there was something fishy about Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, if you take the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and Wang Dong'er's Martial Soul Fusion Skill out of the box and only look at the role of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, it actually makes sense: in those Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Spiritual Eye's role is to provide spiritual correction.

This point is clearly shown by Dai Ying, the daughter of Huo—no, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong— in the original novel.

Dai Ying only possesses the Light Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul, yet she can still unleash "The Withering in Brilliance, The Golden Road," demonstrating the role the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul plays in this Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is Heartless provider of Spiritual Attribute and amplifier of Divine Power. This is why Dai Ying was able to reproduce this move alone. After all, Divine Power is an innate talent that everyone possesses; it's just that the owner of Spiritual Attribute Martial Soul has an advantage in this aspect over others.

If it were Martial Soul Fusion Skill like the Hell White Tiger, which requires both the White Tiger and Nether Civet Martial Soul, Dai Ying wouldn't be able to master it with just one of the Martial Soul.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao felt that if they really wanted to develop Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul could actually be compatible with most Martial Soul. It didn't need to be the main character of the fusion skill; as long as it participated and provided the necessary Divine Power and amplification, it could allow the other Martial Soul to unleash extraordinary power.

In other words, just be a Heartless amplifier of Divine Power.

Few Martial Soul don't need this kind of correction; even if they are both of the same Spiritual Attribute, they can be strengthened further.

Perhaps it is this inclusiveness, combined with the Power of Creation from the Goddess of Life, that makes his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul compatible with Gu Yuena.

After all, Gu Yuena possesses the Creation Divinity, and the two resonate at the level of Laws. Given this connection, and considering that the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul itself is inclusive and will not repel Gu Yuena's power, it is not surprising that they have a certain degree of compatibility.

Gu Yuena nodded thoughtfully, a hint of joy in her voice, "It's better than I expected."

Even if the compatibility is too low, she has ways to modify it, but the feeling of innate compatibility is obviously different from that of acquired compatibility.

Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at her expression. "The effects of fusing the two Martial Soul with you are different. You are also good at Divine Power, and the Spiritual Eye is a complement to that. As for the Ice Emperor Martial Soul —it's probably leaning towards the Dragon God direction. Which one would you like to try first?"

"Let's try fusing with the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul first. I'm more interested in the Power of Creation within you; perhaps it will allow me to gain a deeper understanding of it."

Gu Yuena thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, this way you can better comprehend the Creation Divinity from me, which will benefit you more. As for the Ice Emperor Martial Soul, we'll talk about that later."

"Alright, let's go to the Cultivation Room." Huo Yuhao nodded and led Gu Yuena to the Cultivation Room to begin trying out the Martial Soul Fusion.

The two closed their eyes simultaneously, extended their hands, palms facing each other. Formless Divine Power emanated from their bodies, intertwining and Entanglement in the air, as if weaving an invisible net, gradually merging together.

At the same time, the Soul Power also began to merge.

At first, the two Soul Power were somewhat awkward, like two people meeting for the first time tentatively shaking hands. But as time went on, that awkwardness quickly faded, replaced by a smooth, seamless blend.

Gu Yuena could sense that Huo Yuhao's Soul Power was slowly seeping into her Soul Power. It wasn't an invasion, but an exchange—like two streams merging into the same riverbed, each containing the other.

Huo Yuhao could also sense that Gu Yuena's Soul Power contained a rich Life Aura, the original power of the Creation Divinity. It was warm and gentle, yet contained boundless vitality.

He was experiencing, absorbing, and transforming within it.

As the two were quietly comprehending, Gu Yuena suddenly discovered that a portion of Huo Yuhao's Soul Power carried the Bloodline Power, making it extremely heavy. Sensing something was amiss, she sent a puzzled thought through her Divine Power.

What's going on?

See for yourself.

Huo Yuhao asked Gu Yuena to use her Divine Power to investigate.

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow and, following Huo Yuhao's instructions, began to probe Huo Yuhao's body with her Divine Power. As she went deeper, her brows furrowed slightly.

In addition to the three Soul Core, Huo Yuhao's body now contains some Soul Power black holes, which are very similar to those in Di Tian's body.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't have surprised Gu Yuena.

To her surprise, Huo Yuhao's Soul Power and Bloodline Power had already merged together, and the resulting Soul Power Vortex was merging into his blood at certain acupoints.

"This is... Di Tian's Soul Power Storage Method? No, it's completely different, but I seem to recognize this cultivation method."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes, her pupils reflecting Huo Yuhao's image. Her eyes were bright. "Yuhao, your cultivation method seems very similar to one of the Dragon God's cultivation methods, it seems to be— the Dragon Concealment Method!"

Hidden Dragon, the bloodline of the hidden dragon resides within. Allow one's own bloodline to be contained within, transforming it into one's purest power.

Simply put, it involves refining every drop of blood into a vessel, or dragon core. Under the operation of the Dragon Concealment Method, the blood continuously absorbs energy, sublimating and evolving during the absorption process, thereby driving the transformation of the entire body.

It can be said that this method of cultivation is the biggest reason for the gap in strength between the Dragon God and other God King. The foundations they possess are simply incomparable.

Gu Yuena only had a vague impression of this method; she knew that the Dragon God seemed to cultivate in this way, but she didn't know the specific details of its transmission.

After observing the condition inside Huo Yuhao's body, she felt that the two were very similar.

Gu Yuena paused, a hint of emotion in her voice. "I never imagined you would figure out such a cultivation method on your own."

After listening to Gu Yuena's words, Huo Yuhao shook his head, "It's just a rudimentary cultivation method, merely a further improvement upon Di Tian's method of accumulating Soul Power. It's not finished yet."

Like the Dragon Concealment Method?

It's definitely similar. He had long had the idea of researching the Dragon Concealment Method. This cultivation method was something he developed by referencing Di Tian's method of accumulating resources and the Dragon God's Dragon Concealment Method in order to accumulate his foundation.

The essence of Di Tian's method of accumulating his foundation is to condense the prototype of the Soul Core. Needless to say, anyone who has condensed Soul Core knows the origin of those Soul Power Vortex.

Since Huo Yuhao knew the principles behind the Dragon Concealment Method, creating a prototype was naturally not a problem.

After all, the Dragon Concealment Method essentially uses blood as a vessel, like an acupoint, to continuously absorb energy and eventually transform the blood into something similar to Soul Core, which then drives the body's transformation. The principle is actually not difficult to understand.

It wasn't as difficult as I imagined. After all, there's something in the cultivation world called essence blood, and there are examples of condensing pure energy in blood.

He used the Di Tian's Soul Power storage method to fuse the Bloodline Power, treating the blood as an independent container for cultivation.

The process of those Soul Power Vortex merging into the blood at the acupoints is essentially the gradual transformation of ordinary blood into "essence blood," and the next step is the metamorphosis towards "Blood Essence Soul Core."

This is the rudimentary practice method he developed based on the principles of the Dragon Concealment Method.

The most basic cultivation methods aren't difficult to research; the real challenge lies in whether his body can withstand the ever-accumulating power and whether he can utilize this power to drive his body's evolution.

These issues still need to be verified, and there are still some details to consider, which is why he said this method of cultivation is in its infancy.

However, Huo Yuhao wasn't too worried.

In terms of physical endurance, he has the Power of Creation and the Gold of Life providing a continuous source of repair and nourishment. The Elemental Divine Lightning is like a strict blacksmith, repeatedly tempering his body, breaking down his weak points, and making his Reshaping flesh and blood more resilient. The three form a complete cycle of destruction, repair, and strengthening, repeating endlessly, constantly pushing the Limit of his body's endurance.

He can handle it for now.

He had also considered the aspect of driving physical evolution, which was why he focused on condensing his Blood Essence Soul Core. Although the improvement of Soul Power could also drive the sublimation of the body, it was not as strong as the Qi and Blood that were directly linked to the body.

When enough blood completes its transformation, these "Blood Essence Soul Core" will exert their power simultaneously throughout the body, nourishing the bones, internal organs, and meridians, which is enough to propel the entire Life level to a higher level.

In summary, after studying the Dragon Concealment Method and developing this cultivation method, Huo Yuhao only had one feeling: this method wasn't particularly sophisticated, but it was extremely violent—simply brute force that could send bricks flying. The possibilities were endless; it was a testament to sheer power.

It fits his stereotype of the Dragon God.

When Gu Yuena heard that Huo Yuhao's cultivation method was rudimentary, she also shook her head.

"That's already amazing. You did something I didn't dare to do."

At least she had never thought of trying to replicate the Dragon God's cultivation method before.

Thinking about it, Gu Yuena sighed, "It's a pity I don't have this kind of inheritance, otherwise I could have helped you perfect it much faster."

"There's nothing to regret. The Dragon God's Dragon Concealment Method might not really suit me," Huo Yuhao laughed. "I'm more comfortable using cultivation methods that I figure out little by little on my own."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly upon hearing this, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but didn't speak immediately.

Huo Yuhao noticed the change in her expression, first raising an eyebrow, then saying, "Want to learn? I'll teach you, and we can study it together. This kind of cultivation method is more suitable for your Dragon Clan, after all, your power originally comes from your bloodline."

Gu Yuena blinked and responded softly with a gentle expression.

What Yuhao said was exactly what she wanted to say.

This method of spiritual practice is indeed suitable for her.

Moreover, as Yuhao said, the power of the Dragon Clan comes from their bloodline, and its source is the Dragon God. As a half-body of the Dragon God, she is definitely more adaptable to this method than Yuhao. Studying it together should allow them to perfect it more quickly.

Once they've researched the Dragon Concealment Method and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they'll have a few more trump cards up their sleeves.

While they were studying these things, Xu Xiaoyan and the others had already arrived at the Endless Mountain Range.

Looking at the scenery in the distance, Xu Xiaoyan and the others were somewhat shocked.

What comes into view is a continuous, endless expanse of snow-white mountain peaks, rising higher and higher into the clouds as they recede into the distance.

"This... you mean we have to walk up like this without using our Soul Power?" Xie Xie's lips twitched as he looked at the Team Leader the Spirit Pagoda in front of him, their acquaintance - the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

Only when the time came did they realize that among the people who came to support the Blood God Legion, there was actually this newly promoted Limit from the Spirit Pagoda.

"This is a test that every soldier who comes to the Blood God Legion must go through—of course, as someone at the Limit, I don't need to, nor do the researchers. You can all take your time climbing."

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo chuckled, spread his phoenix wings, and flew towards the snow-capped mountain with the accompanying researchers, fully demonstrating what a privileged class is all about.

Because this place was designated as the planned location for the final battle during the previous meeting, the Federation abandoned its plan to have the Spirit Pagoda station God Rank expert there for an extended period. After all, the breaking of the seal on the Abyss Passage here was more in line with their expected plan, and it would be a waste to send a God Rank expert to station there for a long time.

However, this doesn't mean they're just going to ignore it. Since the planned decisive battle location has been chosen here, some preparations need to be made in advance. This time, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo is representing the Spirit Pagoda to make these preparations, and he has brought along a group of Spirit Pagoda Soul Tool Technology and various Soul Tool.

Tang Wulin and the others watched them leave, exchanged bewildered glances, and could only reluctantly begin their ascent.
