Chapter 165: Conceptual Martial Soul Fusion Skill
The light atop the heavenly curtain surged violently!
A streak of blood-red radiance bloomed, releasing a sky-toppling aura.
Immediately, everyone's eyes gathered on the heavenly curtain, wanting to see just what kind of divine beings the top three on the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking were.
[Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking, Third Place]
[Fusion Technique Name: Star Lotus Pure Domain · Halberd Settles the Universe]
[Owners: Lü Bu (sky piercer halberd), Diaochan (Heavenly Star Divine Lotus)]
[Current User Soul Power Ranks: Lü Bu (Rank 98 Titled Douluo), Diaochan (Rank 93 Titled Douluo)]
[Martial Soul Compatibility: 92%]
[Fusion Technique Power Summary: A miraculous resonance between the Martial Souls of a Peerless General and a World-Toppling Dancer, transforming into the pinnacle of battlefield Domains. Within the Domain: Strips away the concept of enemy defense (turning armor into common iron and causing shields to lose their structure). It possesses a forced penetration effect against Absolute Defense and Paragon Golden Body type abilities. Domain True Meaning: All Laws are equal; all can be broken, all can be purified.]
[Ranking Rewards: Both parties' Soul Power increases by one Rank. The base range of the Star Lotus Pure Domain is permanently expanded by one hundred meters. Additional rewards: Lü Bu receives: Red Hare Essence (can be fused into the sky piercer halberd, greatly increasing charge speed and armor-piercing capability). Diaochan receives: 90,000-year Support-type Soul Bone (greatly increases Domain maintenance capability and personal defense).]
...When these two names, accompanied by the description of that Heaven-Defying Domain effect, appeared on the heavenly curtain!
The entire Douluo Continent fell into a shocked silence once again.
This was followed by a clamor like a mountain-shaking tsunami!
"As expected, it's Big Dipper Academy!"
"My god! Stripping the concept of defense? This... this is simply a nightmare for all Defense-system Soul Masters and tanks!"
"Forced penetration of Absolute Defense? Doesn't that mean life-saving Divine Skills like Paragon Golden Body might lose their effect before them?"
"This is no longer just a matter of power; this has touched upon a certain 'rule' level!"
"Diaochan... I've never heard of this person. Where on earth did Big Dipper Academy recruit so many monsters from?"
"No wonder the Two Extremes Stillness Domain could only Rank fourth... compared to a Domain that directly rewrites battlefield rules, simple stillness control does seem slightly inferior in terms of strategic subversion!"
Exclamations, analyses, and murmurs of disbelief resounded everywhere.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Star Luo Empire Imperial Family, Spirit Hall... The brains of all the powerhouses from the top forces were working rapidly, evaluating the terrifying value of this'Star Lotus Pure Domain · Halberd Settles the Universe', as well as the increasingly unfathomable foundation of Big Dipper Academy... Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly!
Looking at the descriptions on the heavenly curtain regarding 'defense concept stripping' and 'forced penetration of Absolute Defense'.
Her fingers gripping the scepter tightened unconsciously.
As a powerhouse who also possessed top-tier Domain abilities!
She knew better than anyone how terrifying and rare such a Domain that directly targeted 'concepts' and 'rules' was.
"Defense Negation..."
Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"If encountered on the battlefield, my Spirit Hall's Palace Guard Knights, with their armor and joint defense Martial Soul Abilities they take such pride in, will be rendered useless!"
"The Golden Generation's Fiend, with its powerful defense and recovery capabilities, might also be greatly countered!"
She looked down at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, whose expressions were equally grave, and said in a deep voice, "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, do you now understand why your Two Extremes Stillness Domain could only Rank fourth?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan gave a bitter smile. "Your Holiness, I understand. Our Domain is 'control', while the Domain of Lü Bu and Diaochan is 'Law-breaking'."
"We are indeed inferior."
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei said hoarsely, "Big Dipper Academy is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Lü Bu and Diaochan, in terms of individual strength alone, have already surpassed us. The potential and threat of this Martial Soul Fusion Skill... likewise cannot be underestimated!"
Bibi Dong nodded slowly, her gaze as deep as an abyss. "If the third place is already like this, then what will the second and first places... be like?"
"I am now almost certain that the top two must also be from Big Dipper Academy."
In her heart, vigilance and curiosity intertwined.
And a hint of... loneliness that even she herself was unwilling to admit!
...Inside Big Dipper Academy.
"Congratulations, Teacher Lü! Congratulations, Teacher Diaochan!"
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling immediately offered their congratulations, their eyes full of admiration.
Although they had long known that the teachers in the academy were very strong, seeing such a concrete and shocking description of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill still made their hearts surge with excitement.
Lü Bu laughed heartily, his heroic Martial Soul fully revealed. "Mere third place, just as expected!"
Golden light flickered on the heavenly curtain.
The rewards were distributed!
An essence, crimson like flame and faintly carrying the sound of a horse's neigh, fused into his body. Lü Bu's aura suddenly became even sharper and more domineering, as if it could tear through the firmament at any moment.
Diaochan smiled gracefully, took the Soul Bone, and said softly, "The Dean once said that the core of our Domain lies in'shattering delusions' and 'equality'. To be able to obtain this ranking and reward, I thank the Dean for his guidance."
Lu Xiao nodded slightly. "Star Lotus Pure Domain, offense and defense in one, shattering all delusions, the halberd settles the universe."
"Ranking third is only natural!"
Just as everyone was heatedly discussing the third place.
The light atop the heavenly curtain did not stop.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
After announcing the rewards for Lü Bu and Diaochan, the milky-white radiance began to surge and converge violently once again!
This time, within that light, two vastly different yet seemingly originating from the same source and complementing each other's vast auras faintly appeared!
...Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi and Tang Chen looked at each other in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Although they were far away on Sea God Island, they always paid attention to the heavenly curtain and had a fresh memory of Lü Bu's ranking on the Combat Power Ranking.
But that woman named "Diaochan" seemed to have appeared out of thin air, having no reputation before this.
Yet she could perform such a world-shaking Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Lü Bu, and her Martial Soul "Heavenly Star Divine Lotus" was clearly no ordinary item based on the description, being at least at the level of a top-tier Martial Soul.
"Appearing out of thin air... not just this Diaochan, but also that Monkey King!"
Tang Chen's brows were tightly furrowed, his voice low.
"I have roamed the continent for a hundred years, yet I have never heard of these names or Martial Souls. Just what kind of divine being founded Big Dipper Academy?"
"To be able to recruit, or even... cultivate such powerhouses?"
On Bo Saixi's exquisite face, there was also solemnity and deep confusion.
"Their origins are a mystery, but their strength is undeniably real. This has exceeded the scope of what ordinary forces can cultivate. Does that Dean Lu Xiao perhaps possess some means that we cannot understand, or that even touches upon the taboos of the gods?"
As the Sea God's High Priest, she had some perception of the auras and rules of the God Realm, and at this moment, a feeling faintly arose in her heart.
The existence of Big Dipper Academy might have already stirred some deeper levels of order.
Before they could think further, another change occurred on the heavenly curtain!
"Boom boom boom!"
The light representing the second place finally brewed to its peak and erupted with a bang!
This time, there was no grand Domain scene, no complex intertwining of Laws, only an extremely pure yet all-encompassing 'intent'!
It was poetic sentiment, it was wine-fueled intent, it was the soul of the sword!
It was the seamless blending of the three, an otherworldly free-spiritedness, and a peerless sharpness that looked down upon the world!
Within the light, a blurry phantom loomed!
It seemed to be the figure of a Banished Immortal standing with a sword and drinking alone under the moon, surrounded by blooming green lotuses, the fragrance of wine permeating the air, and Sword Qi soaring to the heavens!
The phantom slowly raised its hand!
It seemed as if it were about to swing a sword, yet also as if it were about to splash ink!
The movement was perfectly natural, with no trace to be found.
