"Is this the true appearance of my martial soul?"
Looking at the other "self" with closed eyes and a serene face, Huo Wu was shocked, "I'm unexpectedly so beautiful."
Tang San: "..."
Xiao Wu: "Really narcissistic."
Guang Ling remained silent like Tang San, but deep down was pondering whether they could also evolve their martial souls by obtaining similar soul rings.
"Huo Wu, what is your third soul skill? Is it the ability like the Blazing Lion King's that can emit multiple remote attack beams?" Fire Phoenix also knew that Huo Wu had gained a great advantage, but she was more concerned about the effect of the soul skill.
"My third soul skill indeed inherits that ability. I'll name it Brilliant Sun." As Huo Wu spoke, the purple soul ring lit up. The martial soul appeared behind her, and with her hands raised high, a golden halo enveloped the martial soul's outstretched hands. A golden energy gathered in her palms, with a diameter of about one meter.
In an instant, this beam of light shot out, crossing a distance of kilometers, blasting onto a sand dune, instantly creating a hole.
After the attack, Huo Wu retracted her martial soul, her complexion slightly pale. "This attack of mine has a very long range and great power. Even Soul Kings probably can't withstand it directly. However, it also consumes a lot of soul power, nearly draining nearly fifty percent of my soul power. But I can also control the power of the light to some extent, even launching multiple beams, although I don't have such strong mental power for precise control."
"Furthermore, even without releasing my martial soul, I should still be able to use this move, albeit with less power."
After saying this, Huo Wu raised her hand again without releasing her martial soul. This time, the halo was much smaller, and the condensed light sphere was also smaller, only the size of a head, with a range reduced to five hundred meters, and the power decreased significantly.
However, compared to ordinary Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, it was still extremely formidable.
Huo Wu even found that after revealing the true form of her martial soul, her first and second soul skills had also been enhanced to some extent, with slight changes.
The original first soul skill was the Flame Ring, forming a ring of fire around the waist, then expanding outward to push away nearby enemies.
The current effect was similar, but during usage, the red flames turned golden and flowed at an extremely fast speed, possessing high temperature and cutting ability.
Fire Phoenix experimented with it and found that this first soul skill could at least break through the defense of Soul Masters below level forty-eight.
More importantly, as long as Huo Wu's soul power was sufficient, this skill could be maintained indefinitely, although expanding it would consume more soul power.
It would be difficult to approach Huo Wu in close combat in the future.
Therefore, Huo Wu renamed this first soul skill as Sun Ring.
"Indeed, except for special martial souls like the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, other martial souls can also make their soul rings take the most suitable form for themselves." Tang San pondered for a moment, then prepared to bid farewell to Huo Wu, Fire Phoenix, and the others. After all, he had not yet reached level thirty in cultivation and still needed to stay in this desert for nearly half a year.
However, Fire Phoenix didn't want to let Huo Wu leave just like that. She said, "Master Tang San, if it weren't for you, my Huo Wu's talent wouldn't have been truly unleashed. In the future, she might have been overlooked by everyone. Naturally, we must repay the favour."
"Senior Fire Phoenix, you're joking. We didn't contribute anything to hunting soul beasts."
"But if it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have known about the Blazing Lion King. Even if I encountered it, I would have mistaken it for a 10,000-year-old soul beast because of its formidable combat power, causing Huo Wu to miss it." Fire Phoenix was determined to keep them and wanted Huo Wu and Tang San to exchange more.
Huo Wu also said, "Tang San, I'm not someone who doesn't repay kindness. I'll help you hunt soul beasts before returning... Also, I feel like after my martial soul revealed its true form, my connection to you seems more apparent."
Seeing this, Tang San didn't say much and tacitly accepted their presence.
During this time, Fire Phoenix also had many exchanges with Tang San, assuring him that in the future, she would provide him with various soul-beat data and biographies of soul masters collected by the family for his research.
"Senior Fire Phoenix, I heard that the Huo Family has a Fusion Ring technique. Is it true?" Tang San asked.
Fire Phoenix nodded, "It's true. Master Tang San, if you want it, I can give it to you right now."
"Um... isn't that a bit too casual?" Tang San was somewhat incredulous. He thought there would be something to exchange, but unexpectedly, the other party offered it outright.
Could it be because of repaying him for choosing the best soul ring for Huo Wu?
Fire Phoenix chuckled, explaining the reasons behind it, "The Fusion Ring technique was not created by my ancestors of the Huo Family but by a soul master three thousand years ago. He made the technique public, and almost every soul master at the time had a copy."
"However, almost none of them succeeded in practising it, and many soul masters even went astray in the process."
"This once made the soul masters at that time suspect whether the soul master who spread the technique wanted to destroy the entire soul master community... But some people did succeed."
"One of them was the Huo Family where Huo Wu and I belong."
"The Fusion Ring technique, in the current Douluo Continent, is actually possessed by major sects, families, and qualified academies participating in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. It's just that ordinary soul masters don't have access to it. However, practicing this technique is very difficult, wastes one's own cultivation time, and most soul masters won't waste time practicing this thankless ability."
Now Tang San understood.
The Fusion Ring technique was possessed by prominent sects, families, and forces, but because it was too difficult to practice, had a high failure rate, and would waste cultivation time, it wasn't given much attention.
For most soul masters whose talent wasn't sufficient, the cost-effectiveness was too low.
Therefore, nobody was willing to spend time researching further possibilities of the Fusion Ring.
Huo Wu suddenly said, "I'm practicing the Fusion Ring. I can make the first and second soul rings have brief close contact. Maybe I can succeed in the future. I just don't know if I can continue practicing the Fusion Ring skill after my martial soul undergoes changes."
Fire Phoenix chided, "The Fusion Ring skill is so dangerous. If you can't continue practicing it, I think it's better for your future. You can focus most of your time on cultivating soul power and honing combat experience."
Huo Wu didn't dare to argue, but what she was determined to do, she wouldn't easily give up.
She was going to practice the Fusion Ring technique!
