Chapter 166: Drunken Dance of Azure Lotus: Sword-Song of Poetry
Section 1 – Sword-Song of Poetry
An indescribable Concept enveloped the entire Douluo Continent!
Every spectator, regardless of cultivation or location,
Taiwan Novel Network offers a superb reading experience.
At that moment, strange visions and sensations surfaced unbidden in every heart.
'What is this? My Soul Power seems to pulse to some hidden rhythm!'
'Such fierce Sword Intent! Even across the heavenly curtain it stings my skin!'
'And the scent of wine… am I tipsy? No—my mind is drifting!'
'It's uncanny!'
'This Martial Soul Fusion Skill can actually warp the mind and senses of onlookers?'
Countless cries of shock and bewilderment rang out.
This direct assault on Concept and Martial Soul felt far more elusive and profound than any physical strike or Domain.
Immediately afterward, upon the heavenly curtain,
the details of the second-place entry appeared, suffused with that intoxicating yet razor-sharp aura.
[Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking – 2nd Place]
[Fusion Name: Drunken Dance of Azure Lotus – Sword-Song of Poetry]
[Owner: Li Bai (azure lotus divine sword, wine immortal gourd)]
[Caster Type: Self Martial Soul Fusion (twin spirits)]
[Current caster's Soul Power: Rank 99, attack system Titled Douluo (Peak)]
[Self-Martial Soul Compatibility: 95 %]
[Power Summary: The primal resonance and sublimation of poetry, wine, and sword taken to their extreme. Surpasses ordinary Titled Douluo limits, brushing the threshold of Divine Rank. Self-Fusion lowers consumption and prolongs duration.]
[Rewards: Soul Power density doubled; Fusion technique power permanently +20 %; every Soul Ring gains 10 000 years; one 100 000-year Soul Bone; bonus: ten drops of Banished-Immortal Wine Dew (permanently refines Spiritual Power and insight into 'Intent', greatly shortening self-Fusion cooldown).]
…Second place!
Li Bai!
A self Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
When these facts became clear before every eye,
the entire Douluo Continent fell into a suffocating hush.
Then erupted a storm of discussion wilder than any before.
'Self-Fusion? A twin-Martial Soul fusing with himself? Impossible—never heard of it!'
'Rank 99 with 95 % self-compatibility—he breaks the iron laws of the Soul Master world!'
'Poetry, wine, sword… fused to cloud perception and scramble the mind? How do you defend?'
'Power brushing Divine Rank, lower cost—no wonder the curtain called him true god-tier!'
'Terrifying! Li Bai isn't human—he's an immortal sword-immortal wine-immortal!'
'Self-Fusion means he's a one-man Fusion army—strategically priceless!'
…The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Star Luo Empire—every power's leadership sat speechless, stunned numb.
Ning Fengzhi murmured gravely, 'Self-Fusion, a law unto himself…'
'So the pinnacle of twin spirits isn't switching, but merging into a forbidden power unique to the wielder.'
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Sword Qi howled around him;
a lifetime devotee of the blade, he felt that world-shaking Sword Intent even across the miles,
his eyes blazing with awe and a hint of shadow—
the reverence and yearning of one who sees a higher Peak.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong drew a sharp breath: 'Rank 99 plus self-Fusion—Li Bai's real combat strength likely eclipses ordinary Divine Rank experts!'
He left the rest unsaid… Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Deathly silence.
Bibi Dong sat upon her throne, violet eyes no longer calm but roiling like storm-tossed seas!
'Self Martial Soul Fusion…'
She spoke each word; her voice held a dryness she herself scarcely noticed.
As a twin-Martial Soul possessor and the most gifted Supreme Pontiff in Spirit Hall's history,
she understood better than anyone the potential—and the shackles—of twin spirits.
She had pondered deeper synergy between her Martial Souls, even borrowed Fusion theory,
but the idea of 'self-Fusion' had seemed a myth—until now.
It required not only innate resonance between the two Martial Souls,
but also transcendent, effortless mastery of both.
'Rank 99, self-Fusion technique!'
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's voice trembled. 'Ghost, what is our Fusion against this?'
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei gave no reply; his cloaked figure seemed to shrink.
Before such a monstrous, mind-breaking existence, comparison felt pointless.
Bibi Dong inhaled, forcibly steadying herself, gaze grave: 'If second place is this, what will first be?'
She was certain the top spot belonged to Lu Xiao.
If one self-Fusion existed, a second was entirely possible—
a principal who could recruit and raise monsters like Lü Bu, Diaochan, and Li Bai,
a being who could make the Silver Dragon King bow—his Fusion technique…
Inside Big Dipper Academy
'Teacher Li Bai is magnificent!'
'Self Martial Soul Fusion—so cool!'
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling's eyes sparkled.
The carefree, tipsy poet who strolled reciting verses had hidden such power.
Li Bai himself merely tilted his gourd for a swig, indifferent to the ranking and rewards,
and winked at Lu Xiao: 'Seems my sword has caught the curtain's eye, Headmaster.'
'Still, compared with yours, I fear I'm far behind.'
Lu Xiao smiled faintly, sensing the even subtler Sword Intent and deeper Spiritual ripples within Li Bai,
and as the golden reward-light merged into Li Bai, making his aura rounder and more unfathomable—
'Hum!'
Upon the heavenly curtain
the sole remaining golden glow—for first place—
began its final, most heart-shaking surge!
This time there was no omen, no build-up;
the light simply… shone.
At first like dawn breaking,
then like the blazing sun at noon,
till at last it became the primordial radiance of the Universe—embracing, evolving, transcending all!
