Gui Yuan still listens to Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Instead of returning directly to his bedchamber, he turned a corner and headed towards the courtyard where Hu Liena and Xie Yue usually cultivated.
He also knew about the pre-cast animation of Martial Soul.
However, his fusion was Self Martial Soul Fusion, which is different from the Martial Soul Fusion.
Because when two people's Martial Soul Fusion, others can immediately see your intention to merge, but it's different Self Martial Soul Fusion.
If he mastered the method of concealing his Soul Ring, he could secretly perform Martial Soul Fusion, unless the other person's Spiritual Power was extremely strong enough to sense him.
Even so, this will increase his success rate in releasing the spell.
In addition, as far as he could remember, there was a Soul Master in the Spirit Hall Team in the original work whose Martial Soul was the Scepter of Light. His Fourth Soul Skill had the ability to instantly merge Hu Liena and the Xie Yue Martial Soul into Demon Charm.
Of course, the most important ability of this Fourth Soul Skill is actually speed boost.
If the opportunity arises later, it would be worthwhile to get to know this person.
His Fourth Soul Skill, in a sense, was also created by the Spirit Hall to solve the problem of the pre-cast animation of the Demon Charm fusion.
Then, Gui Yuan arrived at the courtyard where Hu Liena and Xie Yue were.
He had just reached the courtyard gate when he heard Hu Liena's voice from inside. "Brother, your angle was wrong just now, it should have been a little more to the left."
"If it's too far to the left, the Moon Blade won't be able to be retracted." Xie Yue's tone was tinged with helplessness.
Clearly, the two of them are currently cultivating.
Gui Yuan spoke up, "Brother Xie Yue, Sister Nana, sorry to bother you."
Hu Liena turned around and immediately smiled, " Xiao Yuan? What brings you here?"
Gui Yuan walked into the courtyard. "I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Xie Yue withdrew his Martial Soul.
Gui Yuan asked, "Regarding the pre-cast animation of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."
Hu Liena blinked. "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Gui Yuan nodded. "My eldest and second uncles mentioned it to me today, saying that the lower the compatibility of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the longer the pre-cast time. When you two Demon Charm fuse, you should also need to charge up, right?"
Xie Yue pondered for a moment, "Yes, the compatibility between my Martial Soul and Nana's is actually quite high, but the fusion still takes about two seconds, which is indeed a potential problem in actual combat."
In fact, the fusion time will shorten as their level increases.
Given their compatibility, the pre-animation time will likely be less than one second.
Even so, in a high-level combat battlefield, this amount of time is actually quite long.
After all, the two of them can't be together all the time; it takes at least a second for them to get close and for their Martial Soul Fusion.
Hu Liena realized what was going on. "So you've come to us now to ask how to shorten the wind-up animation?"
Gui Yuan nodded. "Hmm, let's see if you have any experience to share."
Xie Yue thought for a moment and said, "Our method is actually very simple: practice repeatedly until the fused movements become muscle memory, turning them into instinct, and the speed will naturally increase."
"However, two seconds is already our limit. It's very difficult to shorten it further unless we improve our strength."
At this moment, Hu Liena suddenly suggested, "How about this, my brother and I will fight you using our Demon Charm? It'll be a good opportunity for you to see the strength of our Demon Charm."
Hu Liena had long wanted to have a match with her junior brother.
However, her abilities are completely countered by Gui Yuan, so if she wants to fight, she can only use her Demon Charm.
Now that Gui Yuan has reached the Soul Ancestor, this is a good opportunity to give it a try.
Gui Yuan decisively shook his head. "Let's do it another day."
"Why?" Hu Liena asked, somewhat puzzled. "Are you scared?"
Hu Liena used a reverse psychology tactic.
But Gui Yuan isn't buying it. I'll contact you later.
He hasn't learned how to hide his Soul Ring yet. During battle, he can only use his Second Martial Soul and External Soul Bone, not his First Martial Soul.
While this works, it feels like I'm not fully free to do things.
After all, both Xie Yue and Hu Liena are now Soul Ancestor, and the Demon Charm they unleash when they merge possesses the combat power of Soul Emperor.
With only External Soul Bone and Second Martial Soul, he has little chance of winning unless he uses the Darkin Bow, but since it's just a friendly sparring match and not a life-or-death battle, there's no need for that.
Hu Liena pouted, "Fine, fine, I'll let you off this time."
She suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, speaking of Martial Soul Fusion, it seems the teacher is already making arrangements."
"There's a guy named Xu Yu in the Spirit Hall Academy. His Martial Soul is the top-tier Scepter of Light, and he's currently Soul Elder."
"The teacher plans to have him absorb a Soul Skill that can accelerate the Martial Soul Fusion when he gets his Fourth Soul Ring."
Gui Yuan's heart skipped a beat; it really was Xu Yu.
At the same time.
After returning to their bedchamber, Yue Guan and Gui Mei also decided to give it a try.
The curtains in the room were half-drawn.
Yue Guan stood in the center of the room and stretched out his hand to Gui Mei: " Old Ghost, come and give it a try. You haven't used your Martial Soul Fusion Skill since you condensed your Soul Core."
The Gui Mei stepped forward, and the two naturally placed their hands together, their fingers slowly interlocking, their palms touching, and their Soul Power began to flow and merge along their arms.
Golden and black light overflowed from their fingertips, like two streams merging into the same lake.
"Are you ready?" Yue Guan's voice was a few decibels lower than usual.
The Gui Mei nodded slightly. "Mm."
The two simultaneously activated their Soul Power, and eighteen Soul Ring appeared and Entanglement together.
Immediately afterwards, an invisible ripple spread out, Two-Level Stillness Domain!
The candlelight in the room froze the instant the ripple swept across it; the flames hung motionless in mid-air, as if time had been paused at that moment.
After about two seconds, the domain converged.
Yue Guan let go and excitedly jumped onto the Gui Mei's back.
" Old Ghost! Did you feel it? The wind-up animation time has really shortened a lot!"
He wrapped his arms around the Gui Mei's neck and his legs around its waist, clinging to the Gui Mei like a pendant.
"It used to take at least two seconds to charge up, but now it feels like less than a second!"
Gui Mei was forced back slightly by his grip, and raised his hand to pat Yue Guan's arm. "... Get down."
"No, it's not." Yue Guan rested her head on his shoulder, her voice tinged with barely concealed amusement, "And I feel the power has increased considerably."
"The enhancement from the Soul Core makes our Soul Power flow more smoothly, and the fusion process should last longer."
"This means that our domain can control even stronger individuals; perhaps we can even control those at level Level 98 or Level 99."
The Gui Mei was a little unsteady from being hung on by him, and took two steps forward before regaining its balance. "... Get down first."
