Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 456 The Repulsiveness of Rakshasa Divine Power

"The initial period went smoothly, but later a sudden conflict and backlash occurred..."

She murmured to herself, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, "It doesn't sound like a simple mismatch in soul power attributes or insufficient control."

"In that case, the initial fusion is usually extremely difficult, and it simply cannot last until the form is about to be completed."

She raised her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on Dai Chengfeng, this time without any hesitation: "Dai Chengfeng, tell me honestly, what about your martial spirit..."

"Or rather, has there been any unusual change in your power recently?"

"Has it been infused with some kind of... extremely special power, perhaps even one with a strong will or extreme attributes?"

Dai Chengfeng felt a sudden chill run down his spine!
Rakshasa God Power!

That primordial divine power, drawn by the power of Asura, was completely beyond my control!

Seeing the slight change in his expression, Liu Erlong had already guessed seven or eight parts of what was going on.

She sighed, her tone becoming somewhat complicated: "The difficulty of the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique lies not only in the requirement that the three martial souls be extremely compatible, but also in the fact that the minds, soul power purity, and even the energy essence of the three individuals must be highly coordinated, without the slightest 'impurity' or 'disloyalty'."

“Your situation sounds like it’s as if something… extremely powerful and exclusive ‘source’ has been integrated into the depths of your power.”

"You might be able to suppress this primal power under normal circumstances, but it will be activated during the process of Martial Soul Fusion, which requires completely opening your mind and body and highly integrating the essence of your soul power with that of others."

"It will perceive this deep integration as an 'invasion' or 'contamination,' and thus instinctively launch a fierce rejection and counterattack."

"It wants to maintain the 'purity' of your own power, or rather, to maintain its own absolute dominance."

"And this rejection is not even directed at your partner Zhu Zhuqing, but at any outsider who attempts to achieve a deep power fusion with you."

Liu Erlong's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the fog in Dai Chengfeng's heart!
That's it!

The root of the problem lies within myself!

The erosion of the Rakshasa God's power was subtly transforming the nature of his power, making it more aggressive, exclusive, and destructive.

The Netherworld White Tiger, on the other hand, demands absolute trust and complete integration.

The 'impurity' and 'exclusivity' of one's own soul power are precisely the greatest 'poison' of this fusion!
Having figured this out, Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Liu Erlong is indeed Liu Erlong; apart from being love-struck, she's perfect in every way!

After all, if Liu Erlong hadn't reminded him this time, he probably would have wasted time in the wrong direction, and might even have tried again, causing an even more serious backlash.

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance!"

Dai Chengfeng bowed deeply in respect, saying, "If it weren't for your insightful observations and keen understanding, I would probably have worked in vain and even gone astray."

Looking at his sincere and grateful eyes and upright posture, the slight unease that Liu Erlong had just suppressed quietly resurfaced.

She turned her head slightly to avoid his overly bright gaze and said in as calm a tone as possible:

"It's nothing, I'm just glad I could help you."

"And also, he keeps calling me 'senior'... He just knows how to tease me..."

"But this problem... is very difficult to solve. Unless you can completely control or purify that exclusive source power, your path to martial soul fusion skills will probably be extremely difficult."

As she finished speaking, a hint of regret and... concern crept into her voice.

“I understand.” Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. “I know what to do. Thank you again, Qian… thank you, Erlong.”

With the business seemingly concluded, the atmosphere in the room once again became subtle and quiet.

The two fell silent for a moment, and an invisible tension spread through the air.

As Dai Chengfeng looked at Liu Erlong's long eyelashes trembling slightly and the blush that had quietly risen again on her profile under the lamplight, he couldn't help but feel a slight flutter in his heart, recalling her professional analysis just now and her rare shyness at this moment.

Seeing him staring intently at her, Liu Erlong felt increasingly uneasy. She quickly coughed lightly, forcibly steer the conversation back on track:
"Now that we've identified the root of the problem, there's no point in saying more; we must ultimately put it into practice."

"Everything depends on you now!"

Liu Erlong shook his head: "Never mind, let's continue the lesson. Sit down."

Dai Chengfeng nodded and sat cross-legged as instructed. Liu Erlong sat down opposite him, stretched out her slender hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and touched Dai Chengfeng's palm.

This time, however, she remembered the lessons she had learned from the previous times. Instead of directly infusing powerful soul energy as before, she controlled her own soul energy to be extremely gentle and subtle, like a trickle of water, slowly probing into Dai Chengfeng's meridians to provide the most basic guidance and sensing.

The two soul energies made contact again.

This time, Dai Chengfeng deliberately suppressed the Rakshasa power, greatly reducing its aggressiveness and making it much "milder".

In addition, Liu Erlong's careful and delicate control of the flow of soul power also minimized the risk of stimulation and conflict.

The soul power began to slowly merge and circulate, attempting to construct a preliminary, simple cycle along specific meridian routes.

The process seemed to go much more smoothly.

However, this "smooth sailing" did not make Liu Erlong feel any relief.

Even the autonomous flow of Rakshasa divine power caused Liu Erlong to experience an indescribable tingling and warm sensation.

It felt as if a warm current was flowing not only through my meridians, but also quietly seeping into my limbs and bones, and even...

It stirred her heartstrings.

"Here we go again..."

Liu Erlong sighed inwardly, for she could clearly feel that her soul power seemed to have gained its own consciousness.

It greedily absorbed the energy fluctuations, filled with a decadent aura, transmitted from Dai Chengfeng.

Every moment of connection made her heart skip a beat, and her breathing became slightly rapid.

Her cheeks began to burn uncontrollably, her originally fair skin turning a beautiful blush that quickly spread to her ears and neck.

She could even feel her fingertips trembling slightly, and the small patch of skin that touched Dai Chengfeng's palm was surprisingly hot.

She tried to concentrate and focus on guiding her soul power, but her thoughts kept wandering involuntarily.

Sometimes his focused and wise eyes flashed through my mind as he analyzed the problem, sometimes his upright posture and sincere gaze as he thanked me appeared, and even... there was the scene from even earlier when he stood firmly against Yu Xiaogang and protected me behind him.

"Calm down! Liu Erlong, what are you thinking about!"

She silently berated herself, but to little avail.
