Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 90: Selecting Soul Beasts for Huo Wu

"I can now confirm that Sister Huo Wu's martial soul has the light attribute," Tang San said. "As for the martial soul fusion skill, there is only a slight connection. After all, my Blue Silver Grass is quite special. However, compared to other people's martial soul fusion skills, it is easier for our two martial souls to fuse."

When it comes to spirit fusion skills, the two most famous ones that Tang San can think of are the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire and the Two Extremes Stillness Domain of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall.

Not every owner of the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul and every owner of the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul can fuse together; they need to have a slight connection with each other.

The fusion skill of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo is more like a fusion of a domain-type skill, rather than a fusion of two martial souls into a new martial soul form.

The former requires mutual understanding, while the latter, Tang San estimates, requires a connection of minds between the two, and then their attributes can complement each other under a certain balance.

Of course, interference from powers at the god level or above must also be excluded, otherwise the fusion of the martial souls of the male and female protagonists in "Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect" would be completely illogical.

The Hammer, Butterfly, Spirit Eye, and Scorpion—what connection is there between these four martial souls?

Their attributes are completely different, so it's no wonder they can't complement each other!

If we had to find a connection, we could place the Spirit Eye on the butterfly's wing, since some butterflies have eye-like patterns on their wings.

"Now that it's confirmed to be light attribute, let's have a fight and see who's stronger." Huo Wu was eager to try, not mentioning her spirit fusion skill, she just wanted to see who was stronger between herself and Tang San.

"Don't be rude!"

Huo Feng immediately stopped Huo Wu. She didn't want her potential son-in-law to be taught a lesson by her granddaughter. Besides, this master already had two beautiful young women by his side. If Huo Wu made a move, he might really have no chance at all.

The two of them have a spirit fusion technique!

Even if they don't end up together, if something happens and leaves a seed, Huo Wu and the Huo family will benefit greatly!

We absolutely cannot let Huo Wu do anything reckless.

Huo Feng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Master Tang San, which type of spirit beast would be best for Huo Wu's third spirit ring?"

"The Sun Lion," Tang San said. "This kind of soul beast can absorb the power of the sun to improve its cultivation. It will definitely be able to awaken the true form of Sister Huo Wu's martial soul. Even if it doesn't work, it can still allow the Hokage to absorb the power of light and grow. One day it will completely transform. At that time, the first soul skill and the second soul skill will also change with the final awakening of the martial soul."

"This kind of soul beast exists in the Green Grasslands of the Star Luo Empire, which is quite far away." Fire Phoenix frowned, feeling that it was taking up too much time.

"If you want to hunt suitable soul beasts in this endless desert, there is actually another option," Tang San said, pausing for a moment before adding, "It all depends on whether you have that kind of luck."

Fire Phoenix hurriedly asked, "What kind of soul beast is it?"

"The mutation of the Flame Lion, the Fiery Lion King."

Tang San revealed the name of this spirit beast: "This spirit beast doesn't evolve simply by the Flame Lion reaching a certain age. Instead, it's formed when the Flame Lioness, during her pregnancy, ingests a rare mineral called the Sun Stone, causing the Flame Lion to mutate into the Fiery Sun Lion King in its fetal stage. This spirit beast is born with both solar and fiery power, and Sister Huo Wu's spirit happens to possess both of these elements, making it the perfect match. Even the Solar Lion is not as suitable as this Fiery Sun Lion King."

Fire Phoenix had never heard of such a soul beast before, but she was willing to believe that Tang San wouldn't lie to her about such a thing, and that there were sunstone mines in this endless desert.

If a Fiery Lioness were to ingest a Sunstone during her pregnancy, it might actually mutate into a Fiery Lion King.

"Does the Fiery Lion King also live among the Flame Lion Pride?" Fire Phoenix asked.

"Unlike the male lions of the Flame Lion, who are meant to lead a large pride of lionesses, the Sun Lion King is a natural-born king of the sun. If he grows up, he will surely become the king of all the Flame Lions. A pride of lions can only be led by one male lion, at most three. Any more than that and fighting will break out. But if the Sun Lion King grows up, the proud and aloof one will kill all the male lions and gather all the lionesses, leaving only himself."

Tang San sighed softly, feeling that this kind of soul beast was similar to the Blue Silver Emperor, which only had one. He then continued, "Therefore, no Flaming Lion can tolerate the appearance of a Flaming Lion King in its clan. Once it appears, it will kill it. Only a small number of lucky ones have the opportunity to escape the clan, live independently, and strive to grow up in the future to become the king of all Flaming Lions."

"Legend has it that when the Fiery Lion King reaches a thousand years of age, it will definitely drop a soul bone. Moreover, it is an external soul bone whose value is second only to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. It can evolve along with the soul master's soul power. Even if the soul master is killed after completely absorbing it, it will not drop the soul bone, but will perish with the soul master."

Fire Phoenix's breath hitched, and she trembled: "Master Tang San, are you telling the truth? A Thousand-Year-Old Fiery Lion King would definitely drop an external soul bone?"

"At least that's what the book I read, 'Where Are the Magical Soul Beasts,' says." Tang San wasn't sure if a thousand-year-old Fiery Lion King would definitely drop an external soul bone, but he knew that the book also recorded another piece of information: a soul master once captured a pregnant Flame Lioness and forcibly fed her a Sun Stone, hoping that the lioness would give birth to the Fiery Lion King, but in the end, the lioness still gave birth to a Flame Lion.

Therefore, Tang San guessed that the Sun Stone might not be the key to the birth of the Fiery Lion King, but only a necessary factor. The other factors were unknown.

Fire Phoenix was somewhat disappointed, but not too disappointed. Even if she couldn't find the Fiery Lion King, she could still hunt down the Sun Lion in the Green Grassland of the Star Luo Empire, which would allow Fire Dance's Martial Soul to show its true form.

And so, the group settled down temporarily in this oasis.

Huo Wu still wanted to fight Tang San.

Tang San agreed.

"Fire Dance, a level 29 ranged damage-dealing offensive Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

Huo Wu flung off her trench coat, removed the goggles from her head, tossed her reddish-brown hair, revealing her bronze skin, looking quite dashing.

Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass spirit and slowly said, "Tang San, a level 28 all-around support spirit master, please enlighten me."

Battle is imminent.

Huo Wu charged towards Tang San first.

Tang San easily dodged, raised his hand and pressed it to the ground to let the Blue Silver Grass take root, and then fought with Huo Wu.

It has to be said that Mai Shiranui can easily get carried away in battle.

Despite claiming to be a ranged damage dealer, he fought like a melee crowd control user. His first two soul skills, Fire Resistance Ring and Flame Rise, were used to push away enemies and boost his own combat power.

What kind of long-range output is this?

It doesn't have a single ranged attack capability.

A definite crowd control and powerful offensive type!

Or is the so-called "ranged attack type" just a way to mislead others?

However, if Huo Wu chooses Sun Lion or Fiery Lion King as her third soul skill, it seems she can obtain a powerful offensive soul skill.

While dodging, Tang San muttered to himself, and then, once the Blue Silver Grass had taken root, he immediately used the Endless Grassland, with countless Blue Silver Grass leaves wrapping around Huo Wu.

Fire Dance's flames were indeed incredibly hot, but once the Endless Grassland formed and took root in the ground, the Blue Silver Grass would be inexhaustible unless its roots were burned away, leaving Fire Dance with only depleted soul power...
