[When the three of them merge, what is summoned?]
[It's the Golden Holy Dragon!]
[But the problem is, Luo San Pao was originally a Golden Holy Dragon hatchling!]
[The Fusion of the three did not produce a new form, nor were any new abilities born.]
[It was merely forcibly pouring the spirit power of Liu Erlong and Flender into Luo San Pao's body, allowing it to temporarily escape the limitation of 'insufficient energy' and manifest its true form!]
[What kind of Fusion is that?]
[The evidence is also quite obvious.]
[In the original work, the three of them once fought Dugu Bo.]
[Who is Dugu Bo? He is recognized as the 'weakest Titled Douluo' existence, with spirit power of only level ninety-one and bottom-tier dueling capabilities.]
Dugu Yan:???
[At that time, among the three, Flender and Liu Erlong were both high-level Spirit Saints, and Yu Xiaogang was a Spirit Grandmaster.]
[Logically speaking, the martial soul Fusion of three people, especially with the stacking of sixteen spirit rings, should theoretically produce a qualitative change and crush Dugu Bo.]
[Referencing the Unrivaled Dragon and Snake, a Spirit Douluo with a Spirit Emperor could exchange a few moves with the level ninety-five Chrysanthemum Douluo.]
[What was the result?]
[The Golden Holy Dragon fought Dugu Bo with such difficulty that it only barely managed to contend with him, even being at a disadvantage, with its weakness easily exploited!]
[Three people in Body Integration couldn't even beat the weakest Titled Douluo?]
[This level of quality is simply appallingly low!]
[If it were truly a perfectly fused Golden Holy Dragon, that would be the complete form of a super Martial Soul. Never mind Dugu Bo, even a Titled Douluo below level ninety-five would likely be ground into the dirt!]
[Besides that, there is also the most obvious piece of evidence proving that the trinity of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender is not a so-called Martial Soul Fusion, but just a Combination Skill!]
[The conditions for the emergence of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill are strange and impossible to explain clearly, but for people with Martial Soul Fusion compatibility, when they are within a certain distance of each other, their Martial Souls will definitely sense one another.]
[In the original work, when Zhu Zhuqing went to Shrek Academy and met Dai Mubai, they clearly hadn't met before.]
[But Dai Mubai, relying on the throbbing of his own Martial Soul, knew that Zhu Zhuqing had come looking for him!]
[Because in this world, besides Zhu Zhuqing, there is no second person who can have Martial Soul Resonance with him.]
[However, what about Yu Xiaogang's trio?]
[After Shrek Academy, led by Qin Ming, was rejected from joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and blocked by Xue Beng and Dugu Bo...]
[They instead joined Blue Tyrant Academy, which was established by Liu Erlong.]
[At that time, their group was led by a teacher to the back mountain of Blue Tyrant Academy where Liu Erlong was.]
[At that moment, Liu Erlong had her back to Yu Xiaogang and the others, watering flowers. If Flender hadn't spoken up, Liu Erlong probably wouldn't have even known Yu Xiaogang and Flender had arrived!]
[This also shows that there is no Martial Soul Resonance at all between the Martial Souls of the three, proving that their trinity is not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.]
...Rumble!
In the back mountain garden of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Martial Soul... Resonance..."
Liu Erlong murmured to herself, her face as pale as paper, as she struggled to recall the trinity Golden Holy Dragon she performed with Xiaogang and Flender.
When they first traveled the continent, they were unknown at the start. It was only after Yu Xiaogang researched how to fuse their three Martial Souls together to form the Golden Holy Dragon that the name Golden Triangle came about.
Back then, she didn't know that Luo San Pao actually carried the Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline.
So even if the trinity was performed using Luo San Pao as the host vessel, she didn't think much of it.
After all, without knowing this truth, the Martial Souls of the three of them indeed looked like they had fused together, producing a massive change!
A pig, a fire dragon, and an Owl fused into a Golden Holy Dragon!
Isn't that the same process as the White Tiger and Hell Civet of the Star Luo Dai and Zhu families fusing into the Hell White Tiger?
But looking at it now, there really is a difference!
The Dai and Zhu families have Martial Soul Resonance, but she, Xiaogang, and Flender do not.
This clearly doesn't meet the conditions for performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"So, the Golden Triangle we were so proud of is actually just a Combination Skill?"
Liu Erlong closed her eyes in pain.
However, after only a few seconds, Liu Erlong snapped her eyes open, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her gaze.
"No!"
"Even if this isn't a true Martial Soul Fusion Skill, even if there's no Martial Soul Resonance, this was still researched by Xiaogang!"
"Being able to make three completely different Martial Souls combine for power comparable to a Titled Douluo is proof of his wisdom in itself!"
"Although Lin Yuan's diary has some truth, he doesn't understand Xiaogang's painstaking efforts!"
That's right.
This was Liu Erlong.
A woman who wouldn't turn back even if she hit a brick wall, a typical late-stage 'love-brain' patient.
Even with the bloody truth laid out before her, she would still subconsciously find excuses for that man.
And now that she knew Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul was a Golden Holy Dragon hatchling, if she followed what Lin Yuan's diary said and fed Luo San Pao the meat of dragon-type Spirit Beasts with the same Bloodline, would it help his cultivation?
Although Lin Yuan said in the diary that unless some Heaven And Earth Treasures were found, ordinary Spirit Beast meat wouldn't be very useful for now.
But how would she know without trying!
It just so happened she had nothing to do in the academy every day. She might as well go to the nearby Sunset Forest to see if there were any dragon-type Spirit Beasts with a Light Bloodline.
If there really weren't any, then she could only go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Why not look for Spirit Beasts with the Golden Bloodline?
That was because Liu Erlong had no idea what kind of Spirit Beast possessed such a Bloodline.
At this moment, an astonishing Aura erupted from Liu Erlong's body.
That was the Evil Qi belonging to the horn of slaughter!
For Yu Xiaogang, she was willing to be a fool once more.
Only this time, her goal was no longer blind waiting, but—raising a pig!
...At the same time.
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As the highest Spirit Master institution in the Empire, it was nestled by mountains and rivers with a serene environment. Those who could study here were either wealthy or noble.
Currently, inside a spacious and bright classroom.
Two beautiful young girls were sitting together, but their minds were clearly not on the boring theory lesson being taught by the teacher on the podium.
Because in front of them, a black diary that only they could see was floating.
The girl on the left had short emerald-green hair, and her eyes were a rare emerald green. Her entire body exuded a strange, wild charm.
It was Dugu Yan.
And the girl on the right was dressed in black, her temperament as cold as an ice mountain lotus. Only her light blue eyes were exposed, revealing a sense of aloofness that kept people away.
The successor of the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Lengleng...
