Chapter 198: The Guardian Dragon That Carries Destiny!
After saying that, Yue Guan quickly turned his head away, afraid he would burst out laughing on the spot.
Spirit Hall naturally wouldn't be so kind as to give the two families body-tempering medicinal pills with no side effects; instead, they would give them waste pills—discarded pills whose side effects hadn't been completely removed.
It couldn't really be called discarded pills; they still had the intended body-tempering effects. However, many of these medicinal pills were due to improper handling by Medicine Hall Disciples, and the aphrodisiac side effects of the whale glue inside hadn't been fully eliminated.
Furthermore, because the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Grade was used to enhance the medicinal pill's efficacy, many of the body-tempering pills had quite significant side effects in that regard.
Ultimately, Tang Xiao received five millennium body-tempering medicinal pills, and Yu Yuanzhen received three Foundation Establishment Pills and two millennium body-tempering medicinal pills.
After they left, Hu Bai emerged from behind.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul? Can you tell if there's anything unusual about it?" Qian Daoliu asked.
Hu Bai nodded and said, "Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul's real name isn't Luo Sanpao; it should be the Golden Holy Dragon. This small purple pig in front of us should be considered a Golden Holy Dragon cub."
"Grandpa Qian, you should also know about the Golden Iron Triangle's Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill, right?"
Qian Daoliu nodded. "Yes, the Golden Iron Triangle formed by Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong is famous throughout the continent precisely because of their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It set a precedent for Martial Soul Fusion Skills on the continent."
"Moreover, unlike ordinary Martial Soul Fusion Skills, their Golden Holy Dragon, which is formed parasitically, cannot be compared to the Martial Soul True Body of other Beast Martial Soul Soul Masters."
"However, what's strange is that the enhancement of your and Xie Yue and Hu Liena's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Nine-Tailed Charm Demon, seems to be much stronger than their Golden Holy Dragon."
Hu Bai: "That's because their Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill isn't a complete Martial Soul Fusion. Grandpa Qian, you also said that this Martial Soul Fusion exists in the form of Luo Sanpao as the host."
"With Luo Sanpao as the dragon head, Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul providing the body, and Flender's Martial Soul providing the wings—this itself is very strange. These three Martial Souls have no connection whatsoever, so how can it be considered a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
To determine if it's a genuine Martial Soul Fusion Skill, there are a few simple and crude methods.
First, the strength possessed by a Martial Soul Fusion Skill will generally be one major rank or nearly two ranks higher than the Soul Master's own strength.
For example, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill produced by two Soul Ancestors can unleash the strength of a Soul Emperor.
From Soul Ancestor to Soul Emperor—that's two major ranks.
This rank-skipping decreases as the Soul Master's rank increases. For instance, a Martial Soul Fusion between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Douluo can unleash combat power around rank 92 Titled Douluo.
That's one major rank.
But the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion is different. Without considering the high soul power consumption, the combat power they unleash can often surpass three major ranks!
And, based on the compatibility between the three Soul Masters' Martial Souls, it can be even higher!
The Nine-Tailed Charm Demon Martial Soul Fusion possessed by Hu Bai, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena allows them to unleash combat power exceeding three major ranks.
After all, whether it's Hu Bai, Xie Yue, or Hu Liena, their strengths are already high, their soul ring configurations are top-tier, and they possess Soul Bones. These three major ranks are the normal state of the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon.
Based on their current strength, after fusion, a casual basic attack from the Nine-Tailed Charm Demon can possess the power of a low-rank Titled Douluo's eighth soul ring!
After all, with Hu Bai's current strength, he can dominate ordinary Titled Douluo without Martial Soul Fusion, and even defeat those like Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who are not as skilled in offensive methods.
This time, Hu Bai's Elemental God trial requires him to enter Slaughter City for training. Besides honing his close-combat abilities, there's probably another important reason.
That is, to let the God of Destruction or Goddess of Life see the power of their three-person Martial Soul Fusion, so that Destruction will willingly allow his subordinates to grant the god trial.
Otherwise, Hu Bai truly doesn't want to enter Slaughter City. He feels there's no need at all.
Moreover, entering Slaughter City will inevitably attract the attention of Asura God. He is still weak and doesn't want to attract Asura God's attention prematurely.
But there's no choice. After obtaining the Death God Domain, he'll see if he can find a way to erase Asura God's Divine Sense related to it.
Otherwise, carrying it around is always a ticking time bomb.
Oh, speaking of that!
He could try to help Bibi Dong clear Asura God's Divine Sense from her Death God Domain later.
The Asura God's Divine Sense in one domain shouldn't be much. With the ability of his Martial Soul, perhaps he can clear it!
"So, Yu Xiaogang's own strength is insufficient, and due to a lack of theory, Luo Sanpao cannot receive the nutrients needed to evolve into its complete form?" Qian Daoliu frowned.
This Yu Xiaogang is indeed a good-for-nothing!
It's clear from Luo Sanpao's configuration that Yu Xiaogang's first two soul rings are not of the light attribute, nor do they belong to Dragon Soul Beasts, so they cannot cause Luo Sanpao to evolve positively.
In his impression, the Golden Sacred Dragon of the Golden Iron Triangle only seemed to have the Light Dragon Breath move. It seems it's still Yu Xiaogang's problem!
Yue Guan: "Then Xiao Bai, now that we've given the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan so many Foundation Establishment Pills for nothing, and Yu Xiaogang even took two, it feels a bit wasteful."
"If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to submit in the future, these Foundation Establishment Pills won't be wasted. But I always feel there's little hope. What Yu Xiaogang looks like..."
Hu Bai chuckled. "Actually, I'd rather hope that Yu Xiaogang's Golden Holy Dragon can grow faster. Wouldn't it be cool if our Spirit Empire had a Guardian Divine Dragon to protect it?"
Hu Bai had a bold idea in mind.
"You mean?" Qian Daoliu and the others were curious.
Hu Bai chuckled. "Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul is a bit special; it has an independent consciousness. The higher Luo Sanpao's rank, the higher its sentience. At that time, won't it want to be controlled by Yu Xiaogang?"
"If there were a way to separate the Golden Holy Dragon from Yu Xiaogang's body, that would be great. Having such a golden Holy Dragon to guard the Spirit Empire—and even to influence the Empire's Luck—that would symbolize the Spirit Empire's glorious and magnificent presence."
"The Luck of the Nation? Why can't the one carrying the Empire's Luck be the Seraphim?" Qian Daoliu felt that the Seraphim they believed in was more suitable, wasn't it?
