Not only the Dragon Duke, but everyone present was stunned.
Could this really be a soul skill that a person could release?
Even Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who had been with Xiao Yan the entire time, hadn't expected him to be so powerful.
After the battle with the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, Xiao Yan deeply felt his own shortcomings.
Moreover, after careful reflection...
Especially after Xiao Yi's massage, he came up with a fourth plan, in addition to the original three –
Developing the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul and creating his own soul skills.
The previous three plans, except for the first one related to spirit rings and martial soul, the other two had nothing to do with the martial soul.
Come to think of it, he was a severely imbalanced student.
Because of the existence of Martial Arts, most of his combat power came from Martial Arts techniques, and the use of his martial soul was basically auxiliary.
Guiding the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul into combat use, creating his own spirit skills, after careful consideration, was also a very good choice.
This Vine Titan was one of the application directions – condensing the tough Blue Silver Emperor vines into the form of a beast.
As for the second application, his Internal Cultivation seemed far from sufficient to support the use of both methods at the same time.
"Senior, watch out!"
Xiao Yan reminded him, and then, he controlled the Vine Titan behind him to reach out and blast towards the Dragon Duke.
Before the fist even arrived, the pressure from the fist wind released by the mountain-sized fist made Dragon Duke feel that his old bones couldn't take it.
"I concede, I concede!" Dragon Duke shouted urgently.
He originally wanted to teach this junior a lesson, who didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth.
Who would have thought this junior had such a terrifying big killer! It made this old man somewhat unsure how tall this Vine Titan was.
"You gave in so easily? You're a Soul Douro level Soul Master after all..."
Xiao Yan felt like he had wasted his effort.
He had used up almost ninety percent of his internal energy summoning this Vine Titan.
He hadn't even thrown a single punch, and the opponent conceded...
Xiao Yan was somewhat unwilling. He adjusted the direction of the Vine Titan's fist slightly and smashed it heavily onto the empty ground beside them.
Boom! The surrounding earth immediately sank, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards from where the Vine Titan's fist landed.
Wherever the shockwave passed, the thick trees around them collapsed one after another.
"Dragon Staff!"
"Snake Blade!"
Dragon Duke and Snake Granny channeled their soul power with all their might, protecting Meng Yiran in the middle.
Even though it was just the aftershock, the two elders still expended a considerable amount of effort to withstand it.
They had seen the martial soul true body of a beast soul master.
But compared to what Xiao Yan had created, it was truly insignificant.
The difference was not just a little.
Taking a breath, Xiao Yan's thoughts moved, and the Vine Titan behind him slowly retracted.
In fact, the Dragon Duke didn't need to be so afraid; his Vine Titan was only a basic version.
Its legs were still rooted in the soil, made of vines, and currently lacked the ability to move.
After retracting the Vine Titan, Xiao Yan felt that although his Internal Cultivation hadn't fully recovered, at least five or six tenths of it had returned.
Xiao Yan was delighted, "This is quite good; my Internal Cultivation won't be completely wasted."
"I concede," Xiao Yan clasped his hands towards the Dragon Duke, who was breathing heavily. Then, he raised his hand and aimed a splitting palm technique at the Man Faced Demon Spider beside him, which had been awakened by the earlier tremors.
Man Faced Demon Spider: "…"
"I shouldn't have woken up."
Looking at Xiao Yan's calm expression, Dragon Duke suddenly felt old.
Are young people these days all this strong?
Meng Yiran still looked at the massive crater, as if it had been formed by a meteor strike, with disbelief.
Recalling the state of the Vine Titan after throwing a punch, Xiao Yan carefully considered its flaws before turning to Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
"From now on, the Mengshu Family will become a member of the Tianfu Alliance."
With a flick of his finger, two blue-gold vines shot towards them.
Both of them saw the vines Xiao Yan sent out, but when they tried to resist, they found that the vines had no offensive power.
The vines embroidered a golden sun and blue moon pattern on Dragon Duke's chest and Snake Granny's sleeve.
"What exquisite control of the martial soul!" the Dragon Duke said, admiring the intricate pattern on his chest.
Xiao Yan's use of martial souls was absolutely top-tier in the entire Douluo Continent.
Whether it was the Vine Titan, which resembled a giant beast, or this tiny pattern, everything was controlled with extreme precision. He wondered how Xiao Yan had trained.
Snake Granny didn't focus on this, but instead noticed a special term in Xiao Yan's words.
"Tianfu Alliance? Isn't it the Soul Hall?"
Xiao Yan explained, "I established the Soul Hall, and its core concept revolves around 'soul power.' Both high-level and low-level martial souls can grow stronger through cultivation.
In the Soul Hall, members can learn martial arts to combine with their martial souls, unleashing greater power than a purely soul master-based path."
Women always have a keen eye for detail. Snake Granny asked, "Martial arts? What is that?"
Xiao Yan thought carefully, "Martial arts can be roughly divided into internal cultivation and external cultivation. Internal cultivation is about improving one's own strength, similar to meditation techniques, but faster.
External cultivation refers to techniques. You can think of it as something similar to soul skills. However, unlike soul skills, these martial arts don't require the assistance of a martial soul.
There are many types of external cultivation. They can be roughly divided into hidden weapons, palm techniques, fist techniques, and leg techniques. There are also similar martial arts techniques for swords, spears, staffs, and clubs.
"Like your granddaughter's flying knives, that's a type of hidden weapon technique. And the soul skill I mimicked with the staff yesterday is a type of staff technique."
The two of them had originally been somewhat unwilling to become subordinates.
But upon hearing Xiao Yan's organized explanation, they immediately dismissed their initial disdain for Xiao Yan's forces.
Regardless of the specifics, at least Xiao Yan had a detailed plan.
And judging from the strength Xiao Yan demonstrated, he clearly had the ability to change how soul masters cultivated.
Dragon Duke asked, "Without relying on a martial soul, are they still soul masters?"
Xiao Yan stated resolutely, "Of course. Anyone with soul power who has cultivated to a certain level is a Soul Master. This is one reason why the Soul Hall and the Spirit Hall have similar names but are completely different."
Dragon Duke inquired, "Then what is the Tianfu Alliance?"
"During the Soul Hall's growth, it doesn't swallow up like-minded family forces. Instead, I prefer to form cooperative relationships in the form of an alliance.
The Tianfu Alliance exists for these family forces, and the Soul Hall is one of them.
Of course, as members of the Tianfu Alliance, these family forces also enjoy the same benefits as the Soul Hall."
