Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 72 Holiday

Nottingham College.

Xiao Lin and Tang San attempted a spirit fusion technique, but without a doubt, they failed.

Xiao Lin has tentatively identified four reasons.

First, neither of them possessed a soul-binding spell.

Secondly, the intimacy between the two is not deep enough.

Thirdly, there is a lack of opportunity and crisis.

Fourth, Xiao Lin needs a new martial soul. This is because Xiao Lin feels that he only has one martial soul, which is why he and Xiao San cannot fuse their martial souls.

Xiao Lin felt that the second and third issues were relatively easy to resolve.

They will always have a chance to deepen their bond.

The first reason, Xiao Lin felt, was that it was necessary to study the Soul Curse.

Looking at Tang San cultivating in the simulated environment of Blue Silver Grass, and Xiao Wu practicing her short sword on the grass on the other side.

Xiao Lin had a simple guess in his mind.

When a Soul Master uses their Martial Soul Skill, why do some Soul Masters not need to use a Soul Calling Incantation, while others do?

What exactly is the Soul Curse used for?

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Lin realized that the function of the Soul Curse was simply to enhance Soul Skills.

If we're talking about food-type Soul Masters, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, their Soul Skills require Soul Incantations.

Either because there's no soul incantation, the soul skills would be weaker, so they need to be strengthened.

Either the soul skill is normal, but it becomes stronger after reciting the soul incantation.

Of course, it is also possible that a special martial soul requires a special soul incantation to channel its power.

For example, Luo Sanpao?

Of course, there is another possibility, which is to make the Soul Master concentrate and use Soul Incantation to quickly release Soul Skills.

In Xiao Lin's eyes, this might be considered a method of "muscle memory" or "human instinct".

Whether it's a soul skill that requires the use of soul incantations or a martial soul fusion skill, in a critical moment, it's faster for a soul master to follow their instincts than to control it with their mind.

Of course, there is another way, which is to correctly pronounce the name of the soul skill?

Just like in fantasy stories, only by calling out the monster's true name can you have a chance to defeat it; or in cultivation stories, if you call out the name of a powerful figure, that powerful figure will notice you from the river of time.

Therefore, the Soul Curse is similar in appearance.

Xiao Lin thought about it and came up with roughly these possibilities.

Fortunately, these are all easy for Xiao Lin to handle; he simply has to try them one by one.

Try it out and see which kind of soul spell you and Tang San are most receptive to.

Therefore, Xiao Lin's goal became how to select the soul spell that is closest to the true soul spell.

As for a second martial soul, without powerful strength, Xiao Lin didn't think he could achieve it.

Unless it's close to the amount of soul power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm over a million years, or a gift from the gods.

Therefore, Xiao Lin's requirements for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill have been lowered, becoming an enhanced version of Yu Xiaogang's Seven-in-One Combination Skill.

This was a huge undertaking, so Xiao Lin could only select a few or dozens of soul spells to try slowly during his time when he was cultivating, reading, and researching, and then try to combine two into one, or add Xiao Wu to make it a three-in-one.

After temporarily turning his research topic into a soul spell, Xiao Lin's life became more regular.

Cultivating, sleeping, reading, researching soul spells, and beating up Xiao Wu.

As for why he hit Xiao Wu, it wasn't because Xiao Wu was stupid.

It's because Xiao Wu is too carefree, playing everywhere and not even knowing how to finish her homework.

I almost said some things to people I wasn't close to without thinking.

……

With daily practice.

Xiao Lin and his classmates' first semester is finally over, and the winter vacation is coming up next.

At this moment, Xiao Lin and Tang San were in Notting City watching Xiao Wu leave alone.

For some reason, Xiao Wu did not choose to go home with Tang San this time.

Instead, they chose to return to their own home, the Starry Sky Forest.

In other words, Notting City is a border city, not far from the Star Dou Great Forest between the two great empires, otherwise Xiao Wu would be in too much danger.

Now, a semester has passed, and Xiao Lin and the other two have made very rapid progress.

Xiao Lin is currently level 19, Tang San is level 18, and Xiao Wu is level 18.

Xiao Lin needed to conduct research, and Tang San needed to forge iron; both of them had their own things to do and couldn't focus on cultivation.

Xiao Wu was the only one who was idle and lively, and she was almost never seen cultivating alone, but her soul power level still caught up.

Watching Xiao Wu's departing figure gradually disappear into the trees, Xiao Lin patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Xiao San, back to Holy Soul Village."

"Okay, Brother Lin."

Tang San was still somewhat saddened by his separation from Xiao Wu.

"Brother Lin, do you think Xiao Wu might be in any danger?"

As Tang San walked home, he suddenly asked with a worried expression.

"How could that be? Xiao Wu can run much faster than us, not to mention anything else."

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at Tang San. "Some things you've really been worrying about for nothing, you little rascal."

It might be dangerous if you follow us.

Moreover, Xiao Wu has a private driver to pick her up and drop her off when she goes home, so who would dare to mess with her?

"Okay, will Xiao Wu finish all the food and then go hungry?"

"No, she's not that stupid, um..."

Xiao Lin was at a loss for words. Probably not…

"Oh dear, how many times have you asked these questions? You like Xiao Wu that much?"

Xiao Lin eventually got annoyed and said speechlessly.

"No way...hehe..."

Tang San immediately lowered his head, looking somewhat shy.

"A mistress, emotions are a major taboo for us Soul Masters. Once you fall into that trap, how can you cultivate and level up quickly?"

Xiao Lin spoke earnestly, then walked ahead of Tang San with his hands behind his back.

He really didn't want to hear Tang San's worried voice anymore.

This is really annoying!

……

As night fell, the soft moonlight shone on the rice paddies surrounding Holy Soul Village, making them gleam silver. A cold wind blew, creating a scene of great tranquility and elegance.

"Holy Soul Village, I'm back!"

Xiao Lin walked along the path in Holy Soul Village and shouted loudly, directly disrupting the harmony and tranquility of Holy Soul Village.

"Brother Lin, even if we're home, you don't need to shout like that."

At this moment, Tang San was speechless at Xiao Lin's behavior.

"What do you know? Can't I be a homebody?"

In his previous life, Xiao Lin never left his province, even when he was studying at university.

They traveled in silence, and Xiao Lin and Xiao San first returned to Old Jack's house.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Xiao Lin ran into the house and shouted, waking up Old Jack who was about to fall asleep.

"Good, good, it's good that Xiaolin is back."

In the dimly lit room, old Jack saw Xiao Lin under the moonlight at the door and smiled kindly.

"Grandpa Jack, I'm back too."

At this moment, Tang San also stepped out from behind Xiao Lin and greeted him very politely.

"Okay, okay, have you eaten yet? I'll go cook something for you right away."

Old Jack got up, lit the oil lamp, and excitedly got to work.

"Grandpa, we've already eaten, so you don't need to trouble yourself."

Xiao Lin replied, blocking Old Jack's inevitable path.

"Alright then. By the way, Xiao San, why don't you come to my house and sleep with Xiao Lin? Your father seems to have left because of something, leaving only a letter."

As if remembering something, old Jack's expression turned grim, and he began searching his room.

After finding the letter, Old Jack handed it to Tang San to read, then strained his eyes to look at the two of them.

As he watched, old Jack would occasionally click his tongue in satisfaction.

"Great! Xiaolin has become even stronger, and Xiaosan has also gotten a bit chubby and fair-skinned."

"Oh, right, Grandpa, I bought you some delicious Rou Gu Tu milk candy."

Ignoring Tang San who was reading the letter, Xiao Lin handed over all the milk candies he had bought in Notting City to Old Jack.

"Good, good, good, my Xiaolin is so filial."

...That's considered filial piety? That's just empty praise.

Xiao Lin was speechless. He thought, "Let's talk about this when we go to the God Realm to enjoy bliss later."
