"I can now confirm that Huo wu's martial soul possesses the light attribute," Tang San said. "As for the martial soul fusion skill, I only have a slight sense of it. After all, my Blue Silver Grass is rather unique. However, compared to other martial soul fusion skills, our martial souls are indeed more compatible."
When it came to martial soul fusion skills, the two most famous ones that Tang San could think of were the Nether White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire and the Two Extremes Static Domain of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall.
The Nether White Tiger could not be fused by every White Tiger martial soul possessor and Nether Spirit Cat martial soul possessor. There needed to be a slight sense of connection between them.
On the other hand, the martial soul fusion skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo seemed more like a domain-type skill rather than a fusion of two martial souls into a new martial soul form.
The former required a sense of connection between the two, while the latter, Tang San estimated, required a mutual understanding and a certain balance between their attributes so that they could complement each other.
Of course, this excluded the interference of divine-level powers. Otherwise, the martial soul fusion of the male and female protagonists in "Unrivaled Tang Sect" would have no logic whatsoever.
A hammer, a butterfly, a spirit eye, and a scorpion—what connection could these four martial souls possibly have?
Their attributes were also vastly different, so how could they possibly complement each other?
If one had to insist on a connection, one could perhaps attach the spirit eye to the butterfly's wings, since some butterflies had patterns on their wings that resembled eyes.
"Since we've confirmed that it's the light attribute, let's have a fight and see who's stronger," Huo wu said eagerly. She didn't mention the martial soul fusion skill, but simply wanted to see who was stronger between her and Tang San.
"No disrespect!"
Fire Phoenix immediately stopped Huowu. She didn't want her potential son-in-law to be taught a lesson by her granddaughter. Moreover, this master already had two beautiful young ladies by his side. If Huo wu made a move, she might not have any chance at all.
After all, the two of them had a martial soul fusion skill!
Even if they didn't end up together in the future, if something happened and they left behind some seeds, Huo wu and the Huo family would benefit greatly.
She absolutely couldn't let Huo wu act recklessly.
Fire Phoenix thought about many things in a flash and then asked, "Master Tang San, may I ask which soul beast would be the best choice for Huo wu's third soul ring?"
"Sun Lion," Tang San replied. "This soul beast can absorb the power of the sun to cultivate, and it will definitely be able to awaken the true form of Huo wu's martial soul. Even if it doesn't, it will allow the Fire Shadow to absorb the power of light and grow. One day, it will completely transform. At that time, the first and second soul skills will also change as the martial soul fully awakens."
"This soul beast exists in the Green Shade Prairie of the Star Luo Empire. It's a bit far away," FIre Phoenix frowned, feeling that it would take too much time.
"If you want to hunt a suitable soul beast in this Boundless Desert, there's actually another option," Tang San said. He paused and continued, "It depends on whether you have such good luck."
Fire Phoenix hurriedly asked, "What soul beast is it?"
"A variation of the Blazing Lion, the Blazing Sun Lion King."
Tang San revealed the name of this soul beast. "This soul beast does not evolve after the Blazing Lion reaches a certain age. Instead, when the Blazing Lioness is pregnant, she swallows a precious mineral called the Sun Stone, causing the Blazing Lion in the womb to mutate into a Blazing Sun Lion King. This soul beast is born with the power of the sun and the power of flames. Huowu's martial soul happens to possess both of these elements, so it's the most suitable. Even the Sun Lion is not as suitable as the Blazing Sun Lion King."
Fire Phoenix had never heard of this soul beast before, but she was willing to believe that Tang San would not deceive her with such a matter. Moreover, there was a Sun Stone mine in this Infinite Desert.
If a Blazing Lioness swallowed a Sun Stone during pregnancy, it was possible that a Blazing Sun Lion King could mutate.
"Does the Blazing Sun Lion King also live among the Blazing Lion pack?" Fire Phoenix asked.
"Unlike the Blazing Lions that lead a large group of lionesses, the Blazing Sun Lion King is a natural sun king. If it grows up, it will definitely become the king of all Blazing Lions. However, a lion pack can only be led by one male lion, at most three. If there are more, there will be a fight. If the Blazing Sun Lion King grows up, it will kill all the male lions and gather all the lionesses, leaving only itself."
Tang San sighed softly, feeling that this soul beast shared a strange similarity with the Blue Silver Emperor. He then continued, "Therefore, no Blazing Lion will tolerate the appearance of a Blazing Sun Lion King in their pack. Once one appears, it will be killed. Only a small number of lucky ones have the chance to escape the pack and live independently, hoping to grow up in the future and become the king of all Blazing Lions."
"Legend has it that once a Blazing Sun Lion King reaches a thousand years old, it will definitely drop a soul bone, and it's an external soul bone that is second only to a ten-thousand-year soul bone. It can evolve along with the soul master's soul power, and even if the soul master completely absorbs it, it will not be dropped when they are killed. Instead, it will perish along with the soul master."
Fire Phoenix's breath hitched, and she trembled. "Master Tang San, are you saying that a Blazing Sun Lion King over a thousand years old will definitely drop an external soul bone?"
"At least that's what it says in the book 'Where Are the Magical Soul Beasts' that I read," Tang San said. He wasn't sure if a Blazing Sun Lion King over a thousand years old would definitely drop an external soul bone, but he knew that the book also recorded another piece of information: There was once a soul master who captured a pregnant Blazing Lioness and forcibly fed her a Sun Stone, hoping that she would give birth to a Blazing Sun Lion King. However, she still gave birth to a Blazing Lion.
Therefore, Tang San guessed that the conditions for the birth of a Blazing Sun Lion King might not be the Sun Stone, but merely a necessary factor. The other factors remained unknown.
Fire Phoenix was a little disappointed, but not too much. Even if she couldn't find a Blazing Sun Lion King, she could still go to the Green Shade Prairie in the Star Luo Empire to hunt a Sun Lion. That could also allow Huo wu's martial soul to display its true form.
With that, the group temporarily settled down in this oasis.
However, Huowu still wanted to have a fight with Tang San.
Tang San agreed.
"Huo wu, a level 29 ranged output-type assault battle soul master. Please guide me."
Huo wu threw off her windbreaker and took off the goggles on her head. She flipped her reddish-brown hair, revealing her bronze-colored skin, looking rather dashing.
Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul and slowly said, "Tang San, a level 28 all-around support soul master. Please guide me."
The battle was about to begin.
Huo wu charged towards Tang San first.
Tang San easily dodged her and raised his hand to press it against the ground, causing the Blue Silver Grass to take root. He then engaged in a battle of attrition with Huo wu.
It had to be said that Huo wu was very easy to get carried away in battle.
She clearly said that she was a ranged output-type soul master, but she fought like a melee control-type. Her first two soul skills, Defying Flame Ring and Flame Ascension, were used to push away enemies and increase her own combat power.
What kind of ranged output was this?
She didn't have a single ranged attack ability.
She was clearly a control-type assault soul master!
Or was it that the so-called ranged attack type was just something she said to confuse others?
However, if Huo wu's third soul skill chose the Sun Lion or the Blazing Sun Lion King, it seemed like she could obtain a powerful output-type soul skill.
Tang San dodged while secretly complaining. Then, when the Blue Silver Grass had finished taking root, he immediately used Endless Grassfield. Countless Blue Silver Grass leaves wrapped around Huowu.
Huo wu's flames were indeed extremely hot, but once the Endless Grassfield was formed and took root underground, as long as the roots were not burned, the Blue Silver Grass would be endless. Huo wu's soul power could only be exhausted...
