"Very good, then there's one more point, a very important point."
Han Li was really in the zone now. He did enjoy this feeling of being a mentor and giving guidance, a deep-rooted imprint left by his past life of surfing the internet.
"According to records, many people who possess Martial Soul Fusion Skills acquired after birth have very close relationships. They are either couples or close friends. Has anyone ever wondered why? Moreover, the records deliberately mention the emotional issues between them. If one party is even slightly resistant, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill will fail."
"That means the aura of a Martial Soul and its own Soul Power fluctuations can change after birth. For example, after my Martial Soul Evolution, its aura changed drastically. As for the fluctuations, although I'm not sure, it should be the same, right?"
Du Gu Yan was the first to answer this time, as she vaguely guessed what Han Li was thinking.
"Very good, Sister Yan is absolutely correct."
Han Li gave her an admiring look and continued, "Humans themselves are easily influenced by their surroundings, especially those close to them. Over the years, they will inevitably be affected by each other."
"The same goes for Martial Souls. In fact, this is the effect of the so-called Martial Soul Mimetic Environment, allowing the Martial Soul to adapt to the surrounding environment to accelerate the speed of cultivation."
"Master, you can try to demonstrate your Soul Power fluctuations in the same way that Bing'er and I did before, to see if it's the same as my guess."
Broad Hill and Azure Luan exchanged a glance. One used cold air, and the other used air, to demonstrate their own Soul Power fluctuations to the others.
"This is mine, for reference only. However, I just synchronized with Bing'er, so there may be some changes, but it should be enough for reference."
Han Li also released his own Soul Power fluctuations and stood beside the two of them.
Sure enough, although the Soul Power fluctuations of the three did not reach the 70-80% similarity of Han Li and Shui Bing'er, if Broad Hill in the middle was used as the standard, the Soul Power fluctuations of Azure Luan and Han Li had nearly 50% overlap with him.
"Sixty percent, I guess that's the minimum standard for forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. After a successful attempt, the two will further converge. This is why there is a saying that even with the same Martial Soul Fusion Skill, there is still a matter of proficiency."
"And usually, when we cultivate, most of the time we use Spiritual Power to drive the operation of Soul Power. This is what I mean by emotional issues."
"Mental and psychological states greatly affect Soul Power fluctuations. This is why Martial Soul Fusion Skills emphasize emotional issues, and why failure occurs if one party is even slightly resistant. Therefore, it is emphasized that when completing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, both parties need to empty their minds as much as possible. This is to ensure that the Soul Power fluctuations remain as normal as possible."
After Han Li finished speaking, Broad Hill tried to think of some angry things. Sure enough, the Soul Power fluctuations he exhibited showed some changes.
"It really is like that."
Broad Hill began to mobilize different emotions, trying out the effects of various emotions on Soul Power fluctuations.
Seeing that his Master seemed to be leading the topic astray again, Han Li took the initiative to interrupt his actions, his expression becoming serious.
"Here, I must warn everyone about one thing. Spiritual Power is a very magical field, and I don't have a deep understanding of it yet. But absolutely do not try to perform incrementally evolving Martial Soul Fusion Skills with others easily, especially when the main body of the evolution is not yourself."
"What's the reason for this?"
Seeing his serious expression, Broad Hill also put away his playful thoughts.
"Because I guess that the main body of the incremental evolution may affect the auxiliary Soul Masters in the Spiritual aspect, and as the two become more and more compatible after multiple uses of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the auxiliary Soul Masters will unconsciously focus on the other party."
"The source of the guess is the Netherworld White Tiger. You must know that after so many years of inheritance, the Zhu Family has not always been weaker than the Dai Family, but they have always been willing to be vassals."
"Moreover, according to records, there was even a Netherworld Spirit Cat Soul Douluo who completely obeyed a White Tiger Soul Master who was stuck at the Soul Sage level, without any intention of resisting. And she was the strongest of the two families in that era."
"Although I'm not sure if my guess is correct, I can investigate this aspect later. After all, no one wants to become someone else's puppet, right?"
Han Li's voice was very ethereal, and he didn't say it more specifically, but he believed that everyone was smart and should understand what he meant.
The record was real, and he had indeed seen it in the Spirit Hall's information.
But in fact, his guess came from Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong, and Flander in his memory.
Zhu Zhuqing's change was the most obvious. Ever since she was persuaded by Yu Xiaogang to perform the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Dai Mubai, the contrast between her before and after was too great.
As for Flander and Liu Erlong, in a fantasy continent where strength is respected, their actions are really hard to understand. They are already middle-aged, could Yu Xiaogang still learn from Xiao Yan and pull off a "don't bully a middle-aged man for being poor"? A turnaround overnight? One gave up on the person she had a crush on for a lifetime, and the other had a crush on him for twenty years after knowing their blood relationship. What kind of feelings can be like this?
If it were someone else, Han Li would still think it was possible, for example, if the person involved was Tang Xiao, he might believe it.
But Flander and Liu Erlong, he didn't believe it.
The key is the personalities of the two, one is cunning and greedy, and the other is hateful and hot-tempered.
Shouldn't one take advantage of the situation and the other vow to kill the scumbag? The only possibility is that the Martial Soul Fusion Skill has brought them such a great influence that it has affected their original choices.
Of course, these are just Han Li's guesses. After all, he always speculates about the enemy with the worst intentions.
But this does not prevent him from warning everyone, after all, what if? The few people who heard Han Li's words couldn't help shrinking their bodies, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.
If it's true, this kind of subtle influence is not comparable to the effect of Soul Skills.
"I will investigate later. If it's true, then the Dai Family must have a problem. They must know something."
Broad Hill and Azure Luan 's expressions were identical, their faces very serious.
"Well, it's best to investigate. If it's true, the Zhu Family's past leaders were really..."
Han Li shook his head, not finishing his sentence.
"What about Yu Xiaogang?"
Broad Hill suddenly mentioned the person who had been overlooked, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
"He probably hasn't noticed it yet. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't be hiding in a place like Notting City for over a decade."
Han Li said with some amusement.
"That's true."
Broad Hill thought of Yu Xiaogang's past deeds and couldn't help but shake his head, his face full of disdain.
Oh, right, he seemed to have heard that bastard Qian Xunji say that Liu Erlong seemed to be Yu Xiaogang's cousin.
Ugh, even more disgusting.
Broad Hill shook his head uncomfortably, throwing the melodramatic matter to the back of his mind.
"But just in case, let's just get rid of him."
Broad Hill, enduring his disgust, prepared to eliminate him.
"Wait, after all, with his intelligence that can even misinterpret books he copies, plus his weak strength, even if you tell him the theory, he'll probably add some of his own 'immature suggestions'. Relying on him to discover it himself would probably be difficult even in his next life."
"Also, Bibi Dong has been quiet since the competition a few days ago. Grand Uncle-Master probably has his own ideas too, so it's best not to add unnecessary details. Besides, keeping him around might be useful in the future. After all, he might be a good candidate to deal with our Pope."
Han Li thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Hmm? Wait, how did you know about this?"
Broad Hill first thought of something, was initially delighted, then paused and looked at his disciple.
"Oh, you mean that? Grand Uncle-Master told me when I was chatting with him last time."
Han Li, without changing his expression, shifted the blame onto Qian Daoliu.
"Big brother would tell you this?"
Broad Hill stared at him suspiciously.
"Of course, otherwise, Master, how do you think I would know? Grand Uncle-Master actually told me a lot of things. I can't possibly tell you everything one by one, can I?"
Han Li met his Master's gaze, not feeling guilty at all. Anyway, he knew Broad Hill wouldn't ask Qian Daoliu about this.
"Alright."
Sure enough, after staring at him for a while and not finding anything, Broad Hill took the initiative to stop delving into it, though he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Big brother, what exactly did you tell my disciple? Most importantly, you even told him about this kind of thing, and you kept it from me.
He always had the feeling that he was the outsider.
When writing these three chapters, it was quite smooth, done in one go! The first is to improve the setting, and the second, although it has some conspiracy theory meaning, it also fits the protagonist's character. The third is related to the subsequent choice of branch lines.
I just don't know how acceptable it is to everyone, awkwardo(╯□╰)o, let's see the follow-up situation to choose the plot branch.
