Something similar to Dragon Might?
"Feels a bit lacking," Wei Na couldn't help but comment.
This was a Spirit Skill provided by a twenty-thousand-year Heaven-Shaking Roar. If it was just an effect similar to Dragon Might, it would be inferior to a soundwave-type Spirit Skill.
"My will, fused with spiritual power, produces an effect similar to Dragon Might. However, for most Spirit Masters with True Dragon Martial Souls, Dragon Might is merely a natural emanation. My deterrent is different. I can command this power with my will; it is a substantial force."
As he spoke, Zhang Wei activated this Spirit Skill.
Overwhelming black energy spread out, covering the sky.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
Within that black energy, a fierce tiger seemed to be coiled, its roar shaking one's very soul.
The next moment, Zhang Wei raised his right hand.
The black energy that filled the entire sky converged upon his right fist.
"This punch will be immensely powerful," Long Aotian said gravely. "A technique similar to Heaven-Man Unity, yet different. This is the manifestation of Zhang Wei's own will power."
Previously, Zhang Wei could only rely on infusing his will into Spirit Power to exert its effects. Now he could fuse it with his spiritual power.
Given time, after commanding both spiritual power and Spirit Power, he might be able to achieve Heaven-Man Unity.
However, Heaven-Man Unity is primarily driven by the power of Heaven and Earth, with the Spirit Master's Spirit Power and spiritual power acting as assistants, channeling the power of Heaven and Earth to erupt with immense force.
Zhang Wei's approach seemed more like his own will determining the upper limit of his power.
"Not bad," Su Ming commented.
If will was the factor determining the ceiling of Zhang Wei's strength, then his power would be entirely dependent on himself.
That wasn't bad news either.
By the time he cultivated to become a Titled Douluo, his personal power would have long since expanded to who knows what level.
The power of Heaven and Earth?
He could just forcibly seize it and fuse it into his own power without issue.
Moreover, with will commanding all forces, once spirit and power were fully amalgamated, his will could also be better tempered through combat.
Thus, Su Ming very naturally copied Zhang Wei's Martial Soul once more, acquiring the Deterrence Spirit Skill along with it.
Simultaneously, he didn't forget to copy Wei Na's Martial Soul.
"The Brain Martial Soul could perhaps serve as a vessel for an Elemental Control Martial Soul."
A virtual vessel.
The Brain Martial Soul was only a copied version, so it was illusory, possessing only some functional aspects.
Su Ming integrated these functional aspects into the condensation of his third Martial Soul, which could conveniently provide his third Martial Soul with powerful spiritual attributes.
"Teacher has found Feng Ling and has blocked her path back to headquarters. I need to go and finish things."
[Douluo 1 Timeline]
"Will commanding spiritual power and Spirit Power? Interesting."
Su Ming activated the copied Deterrence Spirit Skill, experiencing it himself to understand the true strength of this skill.
"The power of Qi and Blood hasn't been fused into it yet. Zhang Wei can't cultivate Qi and Blood power, but I've long since developed it."
Essence, energy, and spirit fused, then commanded by will.
As he pondered, cheers erupted on the giant ship.
Dugu Bo came to Su Ming's cultivation chamber and woke him.
"Su Ming, the small continent you mentioned has arrived. Although small, this continent is about the size of two or three kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire. The resources won't be lacking."
Su Ming emerged from the cultivation chamber, looking at the small continent in the distance.
A trace of golden light shimmered in his eyes.
As the golden light swirled, his vision became vastly different from an ordinary person's.
He gazed intently at this special continent.
During the Douluo 3 era, the Heaven Dou Continent being hidden was one thing, but the Star Luo side was hidden too.
However, during the Douluo 2 era, the fortune of the Heaven Dou Continent was already being shielded.
Su Ming guessed this was Tang San's doing but wasn't clear on why he did it.
Had he already planned what to do in Douluo 3 long before Douluo 2?
Tang San probably wasn't that far-sighted.
Driven by curiosity, he activated his strongest observation ability.
Then, he saw the phoenix phantom soaring above the continent.
This was—
"A phoenix!"
The fortune of the entire continent manifested in the form of a phoenix!
"The aura of a deity."
Su Ming was astonished. Now he finally understood the connection between this continent and Tang San.
The Phoenix God's inheritance was actually on this small continent.
"It seems the gains from this expedition won't be small."
The giant ship docked.
Everyone swarmed out, setting foot on this primordial continent.
This time, everyone started from the same line.
Su Ming didn't get a head start either.
Everyone split into two directions.
The Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire went in one direction.
Su Ming, Heaven Dou, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan went in another.
Both the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire's Star Crown Douluo headed towards the continent's center.
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin followed Su Ming as he headed towards a peripheral region of the continent.
"You, kid, definitely won't take a loss. Did that Spirit Engineer family leave some other information?" Dugu Bo asked quietly.
"No, all I obtained were the nautical charts and some brief intelligence, which I've already shared with you all," Su Ming spread his hands.
"I just observed that this area is different myself."
Dugu Bo had a sudden realization, revealing an expression of understanding.
"Right, yes, yes, yes. You didn't hide any intelligence, you just discovered this area is unique."
Su Ming was speechless.
He really did discover it himself.
Their destination was where the phoenix fortune ultimately converged, not at the continent's core, but on the other side near the sea.
"Tsk, a sea of fire by the coast?!" Dugu Bo sucked in a cold breath, stepping back slightly.
Fierce flame energy entered his body with his breath, even capable of scorching his poison cultivation.
A flash of apprehension crossed his eyes.
"How can this be?"
"The quality of these flames is extremely high. Even my sword energy can only barely withstand it," Chen Xin said.
Su Ming, however, remained composed, advancing slowly.
"There should be a deity's inheritance here. I'm not sure what will happen later. If you two seniors wish to turn back now, there's still time."
"A deity's inheritance?"
Both Dugu Bo and Chen Xin showed delighted expressions, with no trace of fear visible.
Their eyes were practically gleaming with excitement.
Unfortunately, within the illusory history, one couldn't see the future. Otherwise, Su Ming would definitely have tested their fortunes first.
"Let's go together."
Seeing the two had no intention of giving up, Su Ming didn't dissuade them.
The Phoenix God was only a Second Class God. Logically, it shouldn't resort to killing everyone who came to the inheritance site.
The sea of fire was merely an appearance.
Behind the sky-filled flames was a spatial rift.
The moment Su Ming and the other two stepped through, they fell into the rift.
A sensation of spinning and disorientation, a familiar feeling, assailed them.
This was a minor world!
Su Ming's expression remained normal, accustomed to such teleportation.
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin, however, became wary, clearly having not experienced this before.
"The flames here all contain vitality. Could they all be the Phoenix's Nirvana Flames?" Chen Xin said.
Dugu Bo sucked in another cold breath.
"Then how many phoenixes must have died here? Could all these Nirvana Flames transform into reborn phoenixes?"
Speaking of rebirth, he suddenly looked at Su Ming.
