Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 385 Three Phoenixes in One Hall

The next day.

The morning star in the east has just disappeared.

Military camp outside Tiandou City.

Inside the tent, a group of high-ranking officials gathered together.

There were only five people, five inheritors of divine power:
Xu Pan, the successor to Hercules.

Ma Hongjun, the inheritor of the Vulcan legacy.

Yan Mo, the inheritor of the Phoenix God.

Wang Shiyu, the successor of the Butterfly God.

Shui Bing'er, the successor of the Water God.

Out of five people.

Ma Hongjun is the Grand Marshal of the Army, and Xu Pan is his adjutant; the two of them should naturally be here.

As for the remaining three, they each had their own reasons, but ultimately they all came down to the same thing.

Yan Mo and Wang Shiyu chose to submit to Lin Rong, their purpose being to accumulate military merits on the battlefield in exchange for the right arm bone of the 100,000-year-old Bright Unicorn.

Shui Bing'er was simply pulled along by her best friend Wang Shiyu to help her gain military merits to exchange for the 100,000-year-old soul bone for her best friend's partner.

Of the five people present, three possessed the Phoenix Martial Soul.

The resonance of sharing the same Phoenix Martial Soul caused Ma Hongjun, Yan Mo, and Shui Bing'er to secretly glance at each other.

Fire Phoenix, Bright Phoenix, Ice Phoenix.

The power of the three elements—fire, light, and ice—was subtly gathering on the three of them. This change was not their own initiative, but rather a spontaneous action stemming from their martial spirits.

Of the three, Yan Mo and Shui Bing'er had known each other for a long time, so they both focused their attention on Ma Hongjun.

Today's Ma Hongjun is no longer the chubby little boy he once was.

The refinement of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower by the Evil Fire Phoenix, and the tempering of the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul Origin by the Phoenix Bloodline Soul Ring, mean that Ma Hongjun, no longer bound by the Evil Fire, is naturally not the greasy fat man described in the original work.

He is not yet fifteen years old this year. He is 1.85 meters tall and his build is neither fat nor thin, but just right. His youthful face may not be considered handsome, but with the help of his temperament, he is no less handsome than top-tier handsome guys like Yan Mo.

Among the three Phoenix Soul Masters, Ma Hongjun has the highest Soul Power level.

Originally, the person with the highest soul power level was Yan Mo, the oldest among the three, a level 67 Soul Emperor, followed by Shui Bing'er, a level 66 Soul Emperor.

But Ma Hongjun absorbed three top-grade soul bones obtained from the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, and each of them was over 70,000 years old.

The residual soul power in the three top-grade soul bones instantly propelled Ma Hongjun from a level 63 Soul Emperor to a level 70 Soul Saint.

Upon reaching a bottleneck in his soul power, Ma Hongjun immediately used the Fire God's Divine Soul Ring he had inherited. With the help of the powerful physique granted to him by the super-limited soul ring and soul bone, he pieced together a 100,000-year-old Phoenix Bloodline Soul Ring.

Fortunately, Ma Hongjun's first six soul rings were all taken from soul beasts with the bloodline of the phoenix, so he did not need to rely on soul beasts with the same origin as his martial soul as Wang Shiyu to condense his natal bloodline soul ring.

With three such exquisite soul bones, it would be a lie to say that anyone present wasn't envious. Shui Bing'er's decision to participate in this western expedition wasn't just at her best friend's request, but also largely for her own sake.

If Yan Mo's goal is the right arm bone of the Radiant Unicorn among the three 100,000-year soul bones from the competition, then Shui Bing'er's goal is the left leg bone of the Great White Shark, a demon soul with both ice and water attributes.

As a fellow inheritor of the divine power under Lin Rong, Shui Bing'er's seniority was neither high nor low. Unlike Ma Hongjun, she couldn't obtain three soul bones without doing anything. Instead, she needed to prove her worth through achievements.

Four of the five were younger than Xu Pan, who was considered a grandfather by most people, and he seemed out of place, being the most silent of them all.

With his Contra Douluo cultivation level, Xu Pan not only has the highest soul power level among Lin Rong's many divine inheritors, but also ranks second only to Bibi Dong among all divine inheritors today.

During this westward expedition to the Sea God Empire, Xu Pan was quite keen to take out the Sea God Trident and use the Sea God's divine weapon to deal with the Sea God's people.

However, this dangerous and reckless thought was nipped in the bud as soon as it emerged.

The Sea God Empire now knows that the Heart of the Sea God is on Tang San, even though it's fake, but the other side doesn't know that.

If the artifact of the sea god were to appear in his hands, it's unbelievable how much madness it would cause, especially for Poseidon.

With the Trident of Poseidon in hand to complete the Heart of Poseidon, Chen Haitian's inheritance of Poseidon can finally be called truly perfect.

To achieve this goal, Poseidon will spare no effort, because Tang Chen is dead, and her only thought in life is to support the successor of the Sea God.

With this in mind, Xu Pan voluntarily abandoned the idea of ​​using the Trident of Poseidon and decided to honestly use his Hate-Earth Ringless Set.

While deep in thought, Xu Pan suddenly noticed that the power of the three elements—fire, light, and ice—in the tent was rising steadily, exceeding the spontaneous behavior of the Martial Soul Resonance.

Three different types of phoenix soul power emanated from the three of them, then attracted each other and gathered together in the middle of the three.

Accompanied by three simultaneous phoenix cries, a phantom image of a three-headed phoenix appeared at this spot.

The three-headed phoenix has a central head with the attribute of light, and left and right heads with the attributes of ice and fire respectively. Feathers with a gradient of ice blue, crimson, and platinum colors cover the phoenix's entire body, so dazzling that people forget the ferocious appearance of the three heads and only see the beauty of the three-headed phoenix.

"Martial spirit fusion skill?"

The five people inside the tent were not the only ones shocked. Outside the tent, Lin Rong and the old steward, who were walking towards the tent, instantly disappeared from their original positions after sensing the power fluctuations, and reappeared in the tent the next moment.

"Water and fire coexist. Although light is not the best harmonizer, the divine position that Yan Mo inherited is the Phoenix God. This inherited power is the best harmonizer. That's how the three of you were able to achieve the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

After observing the situation inside the tent, Lin Rong thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

“All three of you possess Phoenix Martial Souls. With the inheritance power of Yan Mo, the Phoenix God, if you can find several more Phoenix Martial Soul Masters with different attributes, you might be able to achieve the legendary Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Technique.”

"Should we go to the mainland and see if there are any suitable Phoenix Martial Soul Masters? You guys can try and see if you can do it?"

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should forget about it!" Ma Hongjun quickly waved his hand, decisively refusing.
"Using a Soul Fusion Skill requires empathy with all the Soul Masters who use it. It's not something you can do without a childhood friendship or someone you know well. It's just too awkward."

Yan Mo and Shui Bing'er didn't act as composed as Ma Hongjun in front of Lin Rong, but their constant nodding indicated that they shared the same thoughts as Ma Hongjun.

Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, all those who possessed the Spirit Fusion Skill were either brothers, sisters, spouses, close friends, or childhood friends, because the Spirit Fusion Skill represents a true fusion of souls.

Normally, even if the martial soul compatibility is sufficient, a deep enough bond is still needed to successfully unleash it.
