Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Huo Yuhao didn't pay too much attention to the fight between Tang Wulin and Xu Yucheng, as he was already clear about the final outcome.
Although Xu Yucheng held an advantage in Spirit Power, the current Tang Wulin had already undergone an "epic upgrade."
He possessed twin spirits, was taught by a teacher from Shrek Academy like Wu Changkong, and had geniuses like Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue to spar with.
For Tang Wulin, fighting above his level was as simple as eating or drinking.
Therefore, regarding this duel between Tang Wulin and Xu Yucheng, Huo Yuhao had long since determined the result. The winner was decided; it was only a matter of time.
At this moment, his mind was not on their battle, but was instead immersed in his own Spiritual Sea.
The vast Spiritual Sea rippled with a vibrant, emerald green full of vitality. That green was rich and pure, like the clearest jade, radiating a vigorous aura of life.
Several Spirit Souls gathered around Huo Yuhao, but his gaze fell upon the tall figure before him.
Huo Yuhao looked at Electrolux and asked, "Teacher, what did you mean by that sentence just now?"
Electrolux smiled, a meaningful expression appearing on his aged face. "I only had the idea after seeing that girl perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill by herself just now."
Just as Huo Yuhao defeated Wu Siduo, Electrolux had told him in his mind that he should also be able to perform a self-martial soul fusion.
Wisdom gleamed in Electrolux's deep eyes as he continued, "Martial soul Fusion isn't actually that mysterious. To put it simply, it's just the Fusion of the Spirit Power and mental force of two Spirit Masters."
"However, this Fusion requires a specific ratio. Just like two different liquids, they can only produce a qualitative change when mixed according to the correct proportions." He paused, as if organizing his words. "On this continent, Spirit Masters capable of martial soul Fusion basically rely on instinctive perception to fuse. They don't know the ratio or the principles; they just rely on an innate chemistry to fuse naturally. Consequently, the number of Spirit Masters capable of Martial Soul Fusion is naturally very small."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao clearly understood something.
A light flashed in his eyes, and he interjected, "Teacher, do you mean the ratio of Martial Soul Fusion can be artificially regulated?"
His voice carried a hint of excitement and a touch of disbelief. It sounded like a fantasy, but if it could truly be done, it would overturn the entire Spirit Master's world's understanding.
Electrolux looked at his Disciple from another World, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He had taken Huo Yuhao as his student not just because of the 'fate' between them, but also because he valued Huo Yuhao's talent.
Electrolux looked at Huo Yuhao, nodded, and said, "It might be difficult for others, but for you, it shouldn't be a problem."
"With your mental force, as long as you experiment patiently, finding the threshold for martial soul Fusion shouldn't be difficult."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. His brow furrowed slightly and his eyes gleamed, clearly considering the possibility seriously.
With his high-level Spirit Abyss Realm mental force as a Foundation, his strength was already not weak. A Spirit Emperor cultivation, a Rank 6 Blacksmith, twin spirits, Ultimate Ice... Any one of these trump cards was enough to leave his peers far behind. However, no one would complain about having too much strength or too many methods.
In this World where strength is respected, one more trump card means one more chance to survive, and one more method means one more path to the Peak.
If he could really perform a Self-Martial Soul Fusion skill like Wu Siduo, he would have yet another trump card.
After a moment, Huo Yuhao looked at Electrolux and said, "Then tonight, I will need you to guide me, Teacher."
Electrolux smiled, his expression full of affection. "If I hadn't seen that girl today, I wouldn't have thought in this direction before. Tonight, let us Master and Disciple give it a try."
As the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao not only had constant Opportunities but also peerless talent.
Yet, he still greatly admired his teacher.
Spirit Souls were researched by his teacher; that system which changed the layout of the entire continent and benefited countless Spirit Masters had Electrolux's wisdom as its Foundation.
And now, with just one look, he was certain that 'Martial Soul Fusion Skills' could be artificially created.
This insight and judgment made Huo Yuhao feel inferior.
In terms of research into Spirits, Huo Yuhao felt that his teacher from another World had likely surpassed everyone in the history of the Douluo Continent.
...
While Huo Yuhao was thinking about the Self-Martial Soul Fusion skill, on the other side, Tang Wulin and Xu Yucheng had already locked into combat.
Seeing Tang Wulin closing the distance instead of retreating, Xu Yucheng snorted coldly in his heart.
His Dark Demon Scythe was a long weapon; close-quarters combat seemed like it would indeed affect his performance. Long weapons need space and distance; once someone gets close, they become difficult to use. This was common sense, a principle known to every Spirit Master.
But what outsiders didn't know was that his Dark Demon Scythe could change forms and possessed methods for close-range bursts.
In his view, Tang Wulin's choice played right into his hands.
But before he could even feel happy, he saw a small hammer suddenly appear in Tang Wulin's left hand. The hammer was pitch black all over, with a small head and a short handle. It lay quietly in his palm, emitting an ancient and profound aura.
But in the blink of an eye, this small hammer grew with the wind, rapidly expanding until it was the length of an adult's arm.
In an instant, the words "twin spirits" appeared in Xu Yucheng's mind.
In the past, the greatest advantage of twin spirits was Cultivating one Spirit first, so the second Spirit could be equipped with Ten Thousand Years spirit rings starting from the very first ring.
Possessing nine Spirit Abilities that were at least Ten Thousand Years old was definitely a massive boost to a Spirit Master's strength.
But with the popularization of Spirit Soul technology and the Spirit Ascension Platform, the age of spirit rings could be continuously increased, leading people to believe the advantage of twin spirits was gone.
However, all of that was based on the premise that a Spirit Master's mental force was insufficient to withstand the double Spirit Souls of two Spirits.
If a Spirit Master's mental force was strong enough, a Spirit Master with an extra Spirit would naturally have more methods and be stronger.
Xu Yucheng didn't recognize the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang Wulin's hand, but from the aura he felt from the Spirit, he knew this Spirit was absolutely not simple. That aura was thick and overbearing, like a great mountain pressing down on his heart, making him involuntarily feel a sense of wariness.
Xu Yucheng was not an arrogant person. Seeing Tang Wulin swinging the large hammer to smash him and feeling that powerful pressure, his fourth spirit ring instantly lit up as he prepared to use his strongest fourth Spirit Ability.
But in that instant, a purple light flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes. The purple was rich and deep, like two purple flames burning in his pupils.
Xu Yucheng felt a sharp pain in his head. The intense pain came without warning, as if someone had used an invisible needle to viciously pierce his Spiritual Sea.
His vision went dark, his consciousness blurred for a split second, and the fourth Spirit Ability he was about to use was instantly interrupted.
The grey light on the Dark Demon Scythe dimmed, and the fluctuations on the spirit ring came to an abrupt halt, like a pot of boiling water suddenly doused
