Electrolux's aged and calm voice sounded at the right moment, taking over the conversation: "Perhaps... it has something to do with the hidden power within his body. Moreover, for some reason, I always feel that this matter carries an indescribable sense of strangeness."
"Strange? What's strange about it?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked, confused.
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion let out a huff of annoyance, filled with disdain for Tianmeng's intelligence: "Idiot! It's obviously the bizarrely excessive compatibility of your auras! Use your brain and think about it—how is it possible for the three Origin auras of two people to reach one hundred percent perfect compatibility? Even we Soul Beasts know that good things falling from the sky are usually traps! You guy who has lived a million years in vain..."
She paused, her tone shifting to unconcealed disgust: "Forget it, expecting anything from you is truly unrealistic. All you've done your whole life is eat and sleep, and later you were even captured to be used as a supplement—how much experience could you possibly have?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately felt aggrieved: "But... Yuhao's luck has always been really good! He was able to meet an existence nearly at the level of a demigod like Furina, and later unexpectedly received guidance from Master Electrolux. Now, encountering a partner with compatible auras doesn't seem too outrageous, right?"
"Lucky to this extent?" The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's voice rose sharply, filled with anger, "Are you still dreaming? Although I have long resided in the Far North, I am not ignorant of your human Spirit Master system! Spirit Masters capable of performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill are already rare; usually, one can only attempt a Fusion if the compatibility exceeds fifty percent, and those exceeding eighty percent are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! Even that Hell White Tiger combination could never reach one hundred percent compatibility, and it still requires both parties to be of one heart and have deep affection to succeed!"
Her analysis grew increasingly sharp, piercing through Tianmeng's unrealistic fantasies like an ice awl: "How could a mere hug allow the auras to merge so perfectly, even reaching an unprecedented one hundred percent Three Martial Souls compatibility? Is this reasonable? Does this conform to common sense? Use that brain of yours, which has been eating supplements for a million years, to think about it properly!"
"This..." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was left speechless by the question, unable to find a rebuttal for a moment. The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was right; this was indeed too abnormal.
Perhaps he had just witnessed one surprise after another brought by Furina, and subconsciously thought that another miracle wouldn't hurt, causing him to overlook the huge, illogical suspicious points that might be hidden behind this.
Huo Yuhao listened to the argument within his Sea of Consciousness, and more questions arose in his heart. He asked: "So... is the reason Wang Dong was able to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring at his second spirit ring also because of his Three Martial Souls?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm restrained his previous excitement and explained seriously: "Think about it, even with twin spirits, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the energy impact of a thousand-year spirit ring at what you humans call the twentieth level of Soul Power. Unless, like you, one receives external assistance from me, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and Furina to forcibly enhance their Physique and mental capacity."
"And he, precisely because he possesses Three Martial Souls, each of which is subtly transforming and strengthening his physical Foundation, is able to achieve this at level twenty. This little guy you are holding, measured by your human standards, can be called a peerless genius who appears only once in ten thousand years."
He changed the subject: "Of course, compared to you and that girl Furina, he is still a notch behind. Furina herself is a successor to a deity, possessing such monstrous spirit ring configurations and Spirit Ability effects, which is actually easier to understand."
Regarding the fact that Wang Dong possessed Three Martial Souls, Huo Yuhao didn't actually feel too surprised. He had long felt that Wang Dong was shrouded in mysteries, and his behavior sometimes seemed strange. Coupled with the fact that Furina had specifically reminded him this time, he already had his suspicions.
What truly shocked and even unsettled him was that inconceivable "one hundred percent Three Martial Souls perfect compatibility." This had already exceeded the scope of luck and was almost a myth.
If it were the him from before, he might have been overjoyed, regarding it as a blessing from the heavens. But after spending so much time with Furina, broadening his horizons, and learning much knowledge far beyond that of his peers, Huo Yuhao deeply understood that behind this level of perfection, there often lay deeper Karma or machinations.
In the long history of the Spirit Master world, there had never been such a record. Even among the Original Shrek Seven Devils who had already become deities, the likes of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, who were famous for their Martial Soul Fusion, could never have achieved a one hundred percent Fusion of Three Martial Souls.
"Then, three teachers," Huo Yuhao asked cautiously, "what do you think we should do now to respond?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm answered first, his tone regaining some composure: "According to my initial thought, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Martial Soul Fusion process is not yet fully stabilized to guide you, helping you take the initiative in the Fusion. Although Martial Soul Fusion emphasizes compatibility, the dominant party often gains more benefits and has stronger control over the Fusion skill."
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion held a cautious attitude: "Although I also agree with increasing your own initiative, isn't it too risky to rashly engage in a deep Fusion? This feeling... is like a carefully laid trap with an enticing pie placed inside."
Electrolux pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Trying it out is fine. Thanks to the Medicinal Pills for nourishing the divine soul provided by the girl Furina, my Divine Sense has stabilized much more and is no longer the remnant soul that could dissipate at any moment. I am confident that I can protect your Sea of Consciousness and core Divine Sense from being disturbed by external forces. Moreover, there is the big worm and the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion to assist from the side."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately chimed in: "That's right! Leave it to us! I admit that I'm not great in terms of combat, but in the field of mental force, I have a solid million years of accumulation! Although I am slightly inferior to Master Electrolux, looking across the world, there are very few who can compare with me in pure mental force!"
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion also rarely gave Tianmeng a positive affirmation, although her tone was still not gentle: "I have to admit that this lazy worm does indeed have its strong points in terms of the quantity of mental force."
Seeing that Tianmeng was about to start showing off again, she shot him an icy glare, instantly silencing him.
The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion continued: "Moreover, I am also a four-hundred-thousand-year-level Vicious Beast; my mental strength is by no means comparable to that of an ordinary Spirit Master. With the three of us working together, plus your own tempered mental force, Huo Yuhao, even if we face the secret prying of a deity, we may not be without the power to fight back!"
Having received clear support from his three tenants, Huo Yuhao felt a bit more settled and nodded: "Good! Then what exactly should I do next? How can I take the initiative in the Martial Soul Fusion? I really haven't dabbled much in knowledge regarding this."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was confident: "It's very simple. First, you completely relax your body and mind, and temporarily hand over control of your body to me to lead."
"Okay." Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, choosing to trust this companion who had been with him the longest.
