Chapter 159 The Power of a Titled Douluo?
Just then!
The light in the sky converged!
This time, the condensed phantom was no longer gentle or dazzling, but filled with an ancient, wild, and ferocious aura!
Within the phantom, one could vaguely see a ferocious giant staff coiled with dragon patterns, and a shadowy snake staff with a scarlet forked tongue and bared fangs.
The two staffs were not simply placed side by side!
Rather, they resembled two intertwined ferocious beasts, the dragon's head held high, the snake's shadow eerie.
They exuded a deadly sense of oppression mixed with dragon might and snake venom!
"This is... the Dragon Staff and the Snake Staff?"
"Dragon Duke Meng Shu! Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang!"
"Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Dragon-Snake Combination Strike!"
This combination was also highly recognizable!
The peerless Dragon and Snake couple were already well-known figures in the Soul Master world.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu's Dragon Staff Martial Soul and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang's Snake Staff Martial Soul's Martial Soul Fusion Skill "Dragon-Snake Combination Strike" was extremely powerful.
This ability allows the Dragon Lord, a Soul Douluo-level being, and the Snake Lady, a Soul Emperor-level being, to unleash a combined power capable of threatening ordinary Title Douluos.
They are beings many Soul Masters are unwilling to easily provoke.
[Ranked 8th on the Soul Fusion Skill Ranking]
[Fusion Skill Name: Dragon-Snake Combination Attack]
[Owners: Meng Shu (Dragon Staff), Chao Tianxiang (Snake Staff)]
[Current User Soul Power Level: Meng Shu (Soul Douluo), Chao Tianxiang (Soul Emperor)]
[Soul Compatibility: 65%]
[Brief Description of Fusion Skill Power: A perfect combination of dragon-type pressure and snake-type venom. The fused attack possesses both the domineering power of a dragon and the unpredictable cunning of a snake, accompanied by a strong dragon's aura and deadly snake venom. Although the fusion is incomplete due to the difference in the user's soul power, it can still unleash a powerful attack comparable to a newly entered Title Douluo, making it extremely threatening in actual combat.]
[Ranking Reward: Both players' soul power levels increase by one level, all soul ring ages increase by 1500 years, the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill increases by 10%, and the Martial Soul Compatibility increases by 15%. (Rewards have been issued)]
Somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, who were hunting a ten-thousand-year soul beast, simultaneously shone with golden light.
Feeling the exhilarating sensation of their soul power instantly increasing by one level, and the solid feeling of their soul ring ages increasing, both of them showed surprise and delight.
"Old woman, I never thought our Dragon-Snake Combination could make it onto the rankings!"
Meng Shu laughed heartily.
His dragon staff slammed heavily on the ground, its imposing aura growing even stronger.
Chao Tianxiang also smiled, but a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Old man, being on the list is naturally a good thing."
"But the power of our combined attack is comparable to a Title Douluo, yet it's only ranked eighth?"
"It seems there are many hidden talents on this list. The judgment criteria of this Heavenly Canopy probably don't just look at the instantaneous burst of power."
Hearing this, Meng Shu's smile faded. He looked at the Heavenly Canopy and said in a deep voice, "That's right, perhaps they value growth potential, the depth of the rules, or the absolute tacit understanding between the casters and the compatibility of their martial soul essence."
"Let's see what monsters are ahead of us."
The two immediately abandoned their plan to continue hunting soul beasts, found a safe place, and prepared to carefully examine the next list.
They were filled with curiosity about the martial soul fusion skills ranked ahead of them.
Inside the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at "Dragon-Snake Combined Attack" ranked eighth.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
Bibi Dong was well aware of the power of the Dragon and Snake Fusion Technique.
The combination of a Soul Douluo and a Soul Emperor could unleash an attack power at the Title Douluo level.
This power was definitely among the top of all known Soul Fusion Techniques. But now, it hadn't even made it into the top five?
"It seems my previous thinking was wrong,"
Bibi Dong said slowly, her voice tinged with seriousness.
"The Heavenly Canopy's assessment of Soul Fusion Techniques is probably not based on their current maximum unleashed power."
"The complementarity of Soul Masters, Soul Growth Potential, and even the essence of Souls… the weight these factors carry may far exceed our imagination."
Her mind quickly flashed to her most prized disciple—Hu Liena—and her brother, Xie Yue.
These two siblings possessed the Souls of a Demon Fox and a Moon Blade, respectively, and also had the Soul Fusion Technique "Enchanting Charm."
However, their Soul Power levels were far inferior to the Dragon and Snake Fusion Technique.
Naturally, the immediate burst power of their Soul Fusion Technique couldn't compare to the level of "Dragon and Snake Combined Strike," which could threaten a Title Douluo.
"Since the Dragon-Snake Combo is only ranked eighth, and Nana and Xie Yue's fusion technique has yet to appear…"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flashed.
"Then there's only one possibility—their 'bewitching charm' is ranked higher in the overall assessment by the Heavenly Curtain!"
"Perhaps... even in the top five!"
This deduction reassured her somewhat.
It also further confirmed the "foresight" and "essentiality" of the Heavenly Curtain's judging criteria.
It didn't simply value immediate destructive power.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghostly Demon's expressions had turned grim.
They had originally thought that with the powerful control of the "Bipolar Stillness Domain" and their own Title Douluo cultivation, reaching the top might be difficult, but a top-three finish should be a sure thing.
But now, even an offensive fusion technique like "Dragon-Snake Combination Strike," capable of threatening Title Douluos, was only ranked eighth.
Could their domain-type fusion technique really rank as expected?
Bibi Dong noticed their worries and said, "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, there's no need to worry too much."
"Your 'Bipolar Stillness Domain' is an extremely rare domain-type martial soul fusion skill. Its strategic value and uniqueness far surpass those of simple offensive fusion skills."
"Besides, you two are both now level 96 Title Douluos, incredibly strong, and your martial soul compatibility is also quite high."
"Even if you can't take the top spot, you still have a very high chance of reaching the top three. Relax and wait for the rankings to be revealed."
Hearing the Pope's reassurance, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Gui Mei felt slightly relieved and quickly bowed in agreement.
However, the unease deep in their eyes hadn't completely disappeared.
After all, fate is unpredictable, especially the will of the heavens.
"Boom boom boom!"
Just then, the milky-white light on the heavens surged violently again!
As the light flowed, it gradually outlined a strange and alluring phantom.
That phantom wasn't a solid entity, but rather a constantly shifting pink mist.
Within the mist, a graceful figure with a swaying fox tail could be vaguely seen, intertwining and overlapping with a figure wielding a massive, blood-red moon blade, exuding a sharp and menacing aura.
Their auras were completely different, yet strangely harmonious, emanating a contradictory aura that stirred the soul, both alluring and dangerously sharp.
"This is… a demon fox? A moon blade?"
"The Spirit Hall's Golden Generation! Hu Liena and Xie Yue!"
"Their Spirit Fusion Technique is on the list too?"
Hu Liena and Xie Yue, as leaders of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, were already renowned for their individual strength!
However, their possession of a Spirit Fusion Technique had been revealed by the previous genius rankings.
Even so, it still caused an uproar!

Back mountain of the Spirit Hall, a secluded training ground.
The golden light enveloping Hu Liena and Xie Yue slowly dissipated, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Their eyes gleamed with barely suppressed joy and excitement.
The smooth feeling of their soul power increasing by two levels, the solid feeling of their soul rings increasing in age, and most importantly… the close connection between their martial souls, as if an invisible barrier had been broken through, becoming more seamlessly integrated.
All of this made them clearly realize just how generous the rewards from the Heavenly Curtain were!
"Brother, can you feel it?"
"Our martial souls… seem really different."
Hu Liena murmured softly.
Xie Yue nodded!
The phantom of his Moon Blade martial soul flashed by, its sharp edge seemingly more restrained yet deadly.
"The compatibility has increased by 20%, no wonder the resonance between us is so clear when we circulate our soul power."
"It seems… we can control certain changes in the Demonic Charm even more easily now."
Hu Liena's eyes flickered, and a sly, eager smile suddenly appeared on her face.
