Chapter 7: Qian Renxue, Control of the Lightning Element!
It's not that having the Moon Blade Martial Soul and Charming Fox Martial Soul automatically guarantees a Martial Soul Fusion Skill; it also depends on bloodline and luck.
If having the corresponding Martial Soul allowed for the use of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then wouldn't everyone in the Star Luo Empire be able to perform the Hell White Tiger? Dai Weisi can only perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuyun, not with Zhu Zhuqing, and that's the issue.
"Then, when they return, the three of us will try it together. Logically, if Na Na can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with me, then Xiao Bai should also be able to, since you two are twins. And you and he can probably also do it."
Worship Hall.
"Grandpa, you said Xiao Bai and Na Na were taken as personal Disciples by Mom? Is Mom perhaps thinking of having one of them inherit the position of Supreme Pontiff in the future? Why has she never looked at me with a proper gaze since I was born?" A beautiful porcelain doll with long golden hair pouted, looking wronged as she faced Qian Daoliu.
"Sigh, Xiaoxue, your mother has her difficulties. You must believe that deep down, she loves you. How is it? Have you made up your mind to go to the Heaven Dou Empire? Perhaps if you achieve something there, you can attract your mother's attention," Qian Daoliu said softly, his eyes filled with a smile, but deep within his eyelids lay a trace of helplessness.
His granddaughter had only recently lost her father, and now she was to undertake an infiltration mission in the Heaven Dou Empire, accompanied by two Titled Douluo. It was truly a bit cruel to her.
Qian Renxue was only just over nine years old now! (T/N: According to Original Work, Qian Renxue goes to Heaven Dou Empire at the age of 10)
"But if I go on this mission, can I gain Mom's approval? I don't want to be separated from Xiao Bai and Na Na. It wasn't easy to make some good friends."
A few days ago, Qian Renxue was very happy to learn that Hu Bai's Martial Soul had mutated to Innate full soul power, and Hu Liena was Innate level nine and a half. But upon learning that the two had been taken as Disciples by Bibi Dong, and that she would personally hunt Soul Beasts for them, she couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
As Bibi Dong's biological daughter, she had never received such treatment. All three of her soul rings were obtained with her grandfather's help.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu also found himself in a difficult position.
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who was nearby, transmitted his voice: "High Priest, if Xiaoxue is unwilling, then so be it. Besides, doing such a thing is not something glorious for our Spirit Hall."
"Our Qian family lineage—it was not easy for a seedling chosen by the Angel God with Innate level twenty soul power to appear in Xiaoxue. With such excellent talent, sending her to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire is too much of a waste!
For the sake of a so-called Heaven Dou Empire Crown Prince position, to have Xiaoxue disguise herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who knows how much cultivation time will be delayed due to political affairs!
Xiaoxue is already a three-ring Soul Elder at nine years old. If she cultivates well, she will certainly achieve Titled Douluo earlier than Bibi Dong. Plus, those six Soul Bones—once Xiaoxue becomes a God, won't everything on the continent belong to our Spirit Hall?!"
What Golden Crocodile said, Qian Daoliu knew full well, but if things continued like this, he worried that the mother-daughter relationship between Bibi Dong and Xiaoxue would become increasingly strained.
Sending Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire, away from Bibi Dong, was also for her safety.
Xiongshi Douluo also transmitted his voice: "Big Brother, you can't possibly be worried that Xiaoxue will encounter danger because of Bibi Dong, can you? With the seven of us protecting her in turns, what is Bibi Dong? As I see it, Bibi Dong killed Zhi'er; she should have paid with her life. It's only because of your benevolence that you even let her take the position of Supreme Pontiff!"
Qian Daoliu looked at Xiongshi Douluo with a smile, saying nothing but emitting a dangerous aura.
Xiongshi Douluo's heart skipped a beat; Qian Daoliu in this state was too terrifying—he was angry!
Subsequently, Qian Daoliu sighed in his heart and transmitted his voice: "Alright, you two are not to mention this matter again. I have my judgment. Xiaoxue has already lost her father; she cannot lose her mother again. Since Xiaoxue is temporarily unwilling to go, so be it."
Star Dou Great Forest.
After three hours, Hu Bai finally completed absorbing his first soul ring, and his soul power directly increased to level twelve!
"How is it, son? Did you succeed?" Xie Tian looked nervous.
To be honest, having Hu Bai, who possesses the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Martial Soul, absorb a plant Soul Beast was a very bold attempt!
In the history of Spirit Hall, there had been cases of plant-type Martial Soul owners absorbing animal Soul Beast soul rings, but he had never heard of a Beast Martial Soul Owner absorbing a plant-type Soul Beast's soul ring.
There were two reasons: first, the soul ring of a plant-type Soul Beast was too weak; second, there might be attribute conflicts.
As for the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, in terms of its soul ring, it was not weak, but would it create an attribute conflict with the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox? That was a question mark for him!
Hu Bai could control the elements of nature, so could he control the lightning power contained within the Thunder Hell Prison Vine's soul ring?
Now, seeing Hu Bai succeed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Bai stood up and released his first soul ring. A large amount of lightning condensed in his right hand, forming a whip: "Dad, Mom, I succeeded! My first soul ring is called 'Lightning Element Control.' Its passive ability greatly enhances my control over the lightning element, and its active ability is to increase the power of the lightning element by one hundred percent!"
"What? One hundred percent?" Xie Tian and Hu Leyao exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
A typical hundred-year amplification Soul Skill should amplify by about fifty percent, but their son's was one hundred percent!
However, they soon understood. This soul ring did not grant any active attack or defense Martial Soul abilities; it only passively enhanced lightning element control and amplified its power.
But even so, it was extremely high-grade.
One must know that Xie Tian and Hu Leyao also followed the extreme path. Every one of Xie Tian's soul rings was an amplification-type Soul Skill, enhancing the attack, armor penetration, toughness, and other attributes of his Moon Blade, as well as his defense.
But his first Soul Skill only granted him a fifty percent amplification.
However, before they could rejoice too soon, they heard Hu Bai say, "But there's a problem now. I found that to freely control various elements, not only does it require soul power support, but mental power is also indispensable. Just shaping the lightning element into a whip, I already feel a significant mental drain."
Originally, Hu Bai's plan was for all his soul rings to be of various attributes, but now it seemed he might still need to acquire Soul Skills that purely amplify mental power.
Later, if he wanted to perform element fusion—for example, if his second Soul Skill was Fire Element Control, and he wanted to perform a lightning-fire fusion—without strong mental power as support, he'd probably blow himself up, right?
"Careful!" Suddenly, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao sensed something. They shielded Hu Bai behind them, looking around with alert expressions.
