"Hahaha! Too powerful!"
"I feel like I could fight ten past versions of myself right now!"
The Captain clenched his fist, feeling the increase in mental force brought by the Spirit Bone, and his ambition swelled accordingly.
"There's less than two years left until the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament!"
His eyes shone with fervent light.
"By then, my Canghui Academy will definitely crush the Five Great Element Academies and become famous in a single battle!"
"Exactly! What are Heavenly Waters and Blazing Fires? They're trash!"
"We must make the entire continent remember the name of our Gemstone Battle Team!"
The seven people were extremely excited.
However, they hadn't completely lost their minds yet. The Captain took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
"Of course, we still shouldn't provoke the teams from Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
What a joke, what kind of place is Spirit Hall?
The Douluo Continent Spirit Master Tournament has been held for so many sessions, and aside from one time when the Star Luo Royal Academy got lucky and took the championship trophy, Spirit Hall swept up every single one of the rest!
... Tian Shui City, Tian Shui Academy.
The atmosphere could be described as mixed with joy and worry.
"This is great! Bing'er and Xue Wu actually took first place!"
Shui Bing'er's mother, Shui Miaomiao, was so excited her face was flushed red.
Alongside her envy, there was a trace of bitterness.
She recalled a few years ago when she learned her daughter had been taken as a disciple by a mysterious powerhouse and her strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
She had once considered pleading with that 'Senior' Lin Yuan to take on a few other talented girls from Tian Shui Academy as well.
Even if they were just nominal disciples!
However, Lin Yuan's answer was very straightforward.
"Besides Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, forget about the others."
He couldn't be bothered to explain.
It was only after he advanced to Spirit Douluo that he bound the 'Become Stronger by Accepting Disciples' System.
The standards this System used to judge direct disciples were extremely strict.
Once accepted as a direct disciple, if the disciple's strength improved, he, as the teacher, would receive feedback from the System.
spirit ring age limits, Spirit Bone rewards, god-bestowed spirit rings, top-tier cultivation methods... everything was available.
As for the rest of the Tian Shui Girl Group?
Yes, he could accept them. At most, they would count as outer disciples.
But the System wouldn't provide feedback.
What was worse, the System wouldn't provide teaching resources either.
This meant Lin Yuan would have to personally search for suitable Immortal Herbs for them, and even create cultivation methods himself to teach them.
Moreover, there was no guarantee they would even be able to learn them.
This... this was too troublesome!
Disciples should be refined, not numerous.
It was precisely because he acted as such a thorough "hands-off manager" that the girls complained about him daily.
They said that because his cultivation was high, he had lost interest in everything in the world, spending his days like Dugu Bo, having prematurely entered "retirement mode"...
Blazing Academy. "Bang—!"
Huo Wu's pretty face flushed crimson with jealousy.
"Shui Bing'er!!" Her back teeth were nearly ground to dust!
"Canglan Academy!!"
"Aha! I knew something was up when she disappeared from Tian Shui Academy without a word!"
"Why! Why her?!"
Huo Wu's mental state collapsed...
Canglan Academy.
"Wow! Teacher, you were right!"
Ning Rongrong hugged Lin Yuan's arm, swaying excitedly with a look of adoration.
"That Golden Triangle really isn't a Martial Soul Fusion Skill after all!"
"Look at their rewards..."
"Compared to Big Sister Bing'er and Big Sister Xue Wu's first place, it's worlds apart! It's too pathetic!"
She looked at Lin Yuan and asked curiously, "Teacher, did you know the truth about Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao all along?"
"You mean that unawakened Golden Holy Dragon cub?"
"Mm." Lin Yuan nodded, his expression completely calm.
"I had heard before about the way those three used the Golden Holy Dragon."
"An owl, a fire dragon, plus Luo San Pao."
"These three Spirits are completely unrelated; it's impossible for them to generate Spirit Resonance, so they naturally don't meet the requirements for a Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"That's why I judged theirs to be merely a Fusion Skill."
"Oh—" The girls suddenly understood.
Xiao Wu blinked her large, curious eyes, raising her hand to ask, "Teacher! Teacher! Then what exactly counts as a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
Lin Yuan was amused by her adorable appearance and patiently explained:
"There are many requirements, but the most crucial point is what I just mentioned—Spirit Resonance."
"As for the others, they are merely factors that promote resonance."
"For example, the Spirits of both parties have the same attribute, just like Bing'er and Xue Wu, who both possess the Ice Attribute."
"Or, the attributes complement each other, such as Yue Guan and Gui Mei, one being Extreme Yang and the other Extreme Yin."
"Or, the Spirits themselves inherently possess some kind of strange connection."
"Such as the Evil Eyes White Tiger and Hell Civet of the Star Luo Imperial Family, or the Dragon Staff and Snake Staff of the Peerless Dragon Snake."
Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled around, and she thought of a new question.
"Then, Teacher, are there Martial Soul Fusion Skills that can be formed later on?"
"Later on?" Hearing this, Lin Yuan curved his lips into a 'kindly' wicked smile.
"Yes, there are."
"I could just about manufacture one for you right now."
"But..." He deliberately dragged out the sound, "The method is quite cruel, you know."
"What?!" As soon as he said this, let alone the girls, even Dugu Bo, who was standing beside him, spat out the tea he had just drunk with a "Pfft!"
"Cough, cough... Little freak! What did you say?!"
Dugu Bo looked at Lin Yuan in shock: "You... you can artificially create a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?!"
"Not before." Lin Yuan spread his hands. "However, both of my Spirits have advanced to Divine Tools, and I'm only one step away from Rank 100, so using a little divine force is not a problem."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand. Buzz!
A streak of golden divine force, pure to the extreme, appeared in his palm.
The moment this power appeared, the Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was standing beside him, suddenly contracted his pupils!
He felt as if he were facing a great enemy!
Chen Xin was horrified to discover that this golden light not only contained energy billions of times more advanced than his spirit power...
More importantly, that energy contained Monstrous Sword Intent!
"My second Spirit is special, and combined with cultivating divine force," Lin Yuan explained calmly, "I can modify a person's soul, and even their Spirit."
He looked at Ning Rongrong with a smile.
Ning Rongrong suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"For example..." Lin Yuan made a "cutting" gesture.
"I would take your soul, Rongrong, and snip, cut it into two halves."
"Then, I would use divine force to create a new physical vessel for that half of the soul."
"Finally, I would adjust the compatibility of that half-soul, making it perfectly compatible with the person you wish to fuse with."
"Forget compatibility; since the souls share the same origin, achieving 100% fusion would be effortless."
