Martial Soul Fusion? No, It's Martial Soul Subordination!
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 10:47:19 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 55 ---
Dugu Bo brazenly holds a party in Dugu Mansion, and Han Yuan becomes closer to the Dugu Family and Ye's Mother-Daughter.
As he shared his theories and creation, they couldn't help but feel he was someone who could change the world because the Demonic Pill alone could cause craze in the Douluo Continent.
Thankfully, Han Yuan has been very lowkey.
Han Yuan revealed himself recently because he needed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which can no longer be ignored. The importance of that place and Dugu Bo's medicinal garden was beyond some theories and exposure of Han Yuan's identity.
Well, it's not like Han Yuan revealed all his trump cards. Those disclosed to Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Spirit Hall are nothing but the surface of his wealth.
Of course, Han Yuan didn't dare to act too smart before these people. He wanted them to feel secure, knowing they could still control him despite his intelligence.
Do you know the best feeling of manipulating "smart" people?
It proved you're better than them!
It's why Han Yuan gave them such illusions, making his position in their heart easier than ever.
...
"Young Master, I heard about your analysis in martial souls." Ye Xuelan approached Han Yuan with a drink in her hand. "What are your thoughts on our family's Nine Heart Begonia?"
Han Yuan grabbed a meat skewer on the table nearby and replied, "Nine Heart Begonia, huh? Well, it's a martial soul blessed by gods."
"However, it's flawed just like the Jade Phosphorus Snake."
"Do you know why, Senior?"
"Call me Aunt Xuelan. I'm not that old to be called Senior." Ye Xuelan said with a smile. "As for the flaw of martial soul, I somewhat know. According to the ancestral records, the first person with Nine Heart Begona seemed to discover a divine being and gain something."
Han Yuan raised his eyebrow, "Oh? There is such a record in your family, Sen-! I mean, Aunt Xuelan?"
Ye Xuelan nodded, "Yes, but the record is damaged."
"Can you summon your martial soul for me? I want to observe it."
"Sure."
As Ye Xuelan summoned her Nine Heart Begonia, Han Yuan activated the Eyes of Truth and discovered something interesting. This martial soul is indeed connected to gods, but not in a good way.
...
[Name: Nine Heart Begonia]
[Type: Tool Spirit (Plant-type)]
[Grade: Quasi Super-Tier]
[Description: Nine Heart Flowering Apple, commonly known as Nine Heart Begonia, is a miraculous martial soul capable of healing fatal near-death conditions to normal with enough spirit energy. Unfortunately, due to the lack of divine essence, this martial soul couldn't release its full potential and cursed anyone with this spirit to perish if there was a 3rd Nine Heart Begonia because the Flowering Heart Scale could only hold two objects]
[Note: The Ancestor of Ye Family discovered a broken divine tool shaped like a measuring scale, which he put his martial soul and a golden apple on, creating Nine Heart Begonia. Then, Ye Family's descendants bore the result of his work, but the nature of the divine tool is not something they, mortal, couldn't resist, and slowly die as nourishment for it]
...
"Flowering Heart Scale..." Han Yuan frowned slightly. "From the name, I can tell this is Flower God's Divine Tool."
Unfortunately, Han Yuan doesn't know if this Flower God is good or bad news for him as he could only remember a handful of gods from the Douluo Divine Realm.
This Flower God can be 1st Class God, 2nd Class God, or even 3rd Class God. Han Yuan only knew one thing. The Flower God's divinity is beyond what Ye Xuelan and Ye Lingling can handle at their current level.
The 'real' question is whether the Ye Family still has the Flowering Heart Scale or lost it, so Han Yuan asked about it immediately.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuelan's answer is not very helpful. According to her family's ancestral record, the first owner of the Nine Heart Begonia seemed to have lost the "scales" somewhere in Star Dou Forest.
"..." Han Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
"Well, it looks like we have to use another method."
"D-Do you have a way, Young Master?" Ye Xuelan's hand shook slightly.
"Let's try this first." Han Yuan smiled and summoned the Purple Silver Grass.
Since this spirit was birthed from the void and possessed the essence of Blue Silver Emperor and Thunder Hell Prison Vine, it should have some effects on Nine Heart Begonia.
Ye Xuelan lacked divine essence, right? Thankfully, Han Yuan has plenty from Sky Poison Pearl and Thunder Hell Prison Vine's essence diluted from the Lightning God's Divine Power.
Ye Xuelan stared at the Purple Silver Grass and was shocked to sense a faint yet slowly growing connection between her Nine Heart Begonia and this spirit.
"Martial Soul Fusion!" Ye Xuelan's high-pitched voice echoed in the party room.
"What? What's the matter? What's with the Martial Soul Fusion?" Dugu Bo and others come to their sides.
Han Yuan already expected his Purple Silver Grass to have "Martial Soul Fusion" with most plant-type spirits, especially the strong ones like Nine Heart Begonia.
However, what left him puzzled is the fact he and Qian Renxue also have Martial Soul Fusion.
Then, everyone observed the Purple Silver Grass and Nine Heart Begonia, watching both plants release dim lights. One was light purple, almost violet, and the other had a soft white glow.
The light purple aura swallowed the soft white aura and synchronized both spirits.
A purple-robed woman appeared between Han Yuan and Ye Xuelan, but her face was blurry and unrecognizable.
Swoosh!
Intense purple-white rays illuminated the room, warming everyone with a strong vitality. Every fiber of their body seemingly rejuvenated and gained regenerative traits.
The light dissipated, and Ye Xuelan gasped for air. She looked flushed and stared at Han Yuan with complicated feelings.
When they summoned the purple-robed woman, Han Yuan and Ye Xuelan were naturally connected and developed a sense of familiarity. It gave Ye Xuelan, a widow for many years, the comfortable feeling she had longed for.
Han Yuan obviously sensed the "longing" in Ye Xuelan's heart but kept a calm expression as if nothing had happened. "Auntie, please summon your Martial Soul."
"When we summoned that phantom, I vaguely sensed a change in your Nine Heart Begonia."
Ye Xuelan nodded slowly, "Okay."
A beautiful flower with purple petals and a golden stigma appeared before everyone's eyes.
At first, it looked no different than the Nine Heart Begonia everyone knew, but Ye Lingling gradually noticed a faint purple-silver mark on the stem of her mother's spirit. The mark was shaped like a lightning bolt, giving off a sense of majesty and authority.
"What happened?" Ye Lingling unconsciously summoned her martial soul, comparing it to her mother's spirit.
Then, Ye Lingling realized the life link she used to have with her mother through Nine Heart Begonia had disappeared!
Ye Xuelan also noticed this, "This is..."
"The curse is gone?"
"How can it be simple?" Han Yuan commented with a sigh. "The Martial Soul Fusion Auntie and I formed wasn't necessarily a real Martial Soul Fusion."
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Erlong and others were confused.
Han Yuan stared at Ye Xuelan and said, "Rather than Martial Soul Fusion, that was more of a Martial Soul Subordination. Aunt Xuelan's martial soul took the initiative to surrender to my martial soul."
"From now on, we could use each other's powers to certain levels."
"However, it is somewhat logical because my martial soul is considered the Monarch of All Plants."
"Now that Aunt Xuelan's martial soul surrendered to my Purple Silver Grass, she had lost connection with an artifact called Flowering Heart Scale that caused Ye Family couldn't have a third Nine Hear Begonia, freeing her of her generational curse."
Of course, Han Yuan also withheld some information.
Although the Flowering Heart Scales is a broken divine tool, it's still a godly creation, and severing the connection between it and Ye Xuelan was only possible because Han Yuan had Sky Poison Pearl.
After all this explanation, everyone somewhat understood what exactly happened. Even then, everyone was surprised because this was the first time such a thing ever occurred in the history of the Douluo Continent.
"Then, can you do the same for Lingling?" Dugu Yan raised a question.
Han Yuan glanced at Ye Xuelan and replied, "Yes, I can."
"Please do it." Ye Lingling stepped to Han Yuan and summoned her Nine Heart Begonia.
Han Yuan repeated the procedure and similarly summoned Purple Silver Grass, allowing both martial souls to communicate before a familiar sight manifested.
A silhouette of a green-robed lady appeared from thin air, shining dimly with green light, and everyone felt their body, spirit energy, and mental strength improve rapidly under this blessing.
Sure enough. After the green light disappeared, Ye Lingling blushed and breathed heavily. The way she looked at Han Yuan changed drastically.
She summoned her Nine Heart Begonia and gained the purple-silver lightning bolt mark on the stem.
Han Yuan felt that "Martial Soul Oyakodon" consumes too much energy and sighed helplessly, "Auntie, Sister Lingling, don't be overwhelmed with that feeling."
"You should let things flow naturally."
"I understand..." Ye Xuelan replied with a sigh.
"Mm..." Ye Lingling also responded with a hum.
"Thank you, Young Master/Xiao Yuan!"
Han Yuan smiled, "You're welcome. Actually, I also received a blessing in disguise from doing this. I've reached level 40."
"WHAT??!" Everyone looked at Han Yuan in disbelief.
"When we did Martial Soul Subordination together, Auntie Xuelan's higher cultivation base allowed me to get some of her spirit energy, increasing my spirit rank." Han Yuan explained calmly.
"She's a Spirit Saint, after all."
"I see..." Everyone nodded in realization.
Han Yuan changed the topic, "Well, that matters aside. We should probably name the silhouettes we summoned as they can still be considered entities born from our fused essences."
Ye Xuelan and Ye Lingling blushed, 'The way you describe made it sound like we have a child together!'
"What about Han Yuan's Flower Servants?" Han Yue put her idea on the table.
"..." Everyone stared at Han Yue blankly.
"..." Han Yuan broke into cold sweats. Sister, that's no different than calling Ye Mother-Daughter my servants.
Ye Xuelan heard Han Yue's words and didn't find a problem with the name. She felt it was natural that way. Ye Lingling was also the same, which showed the effect of their subordination to Han Yuan.
The subordination naturally affected their emotions.
Liu Erlong pouted, "No, that's too suggestive."
"Let's call them Purple Flower Elf and Green Flower Elf."
"You said that after reading those novels I wrote, right?" Han Yuan rolled his eyes at her.
"Hehe, but it fits! And that's all that mattered!" Liu Erlong chuckled and stood her ground.
Han Yuan helplessly sighed, "Well, the name is good."
"What do you think, Auntie, Sister Lingling?"
"Let's call it that way." The mother and daughter glanced at each other before nodding their heads.
...
...
Far, far away.
A lone purple and green flame burning in the dark void. If you looks closely, you will see a miniature throne inside, which was split in half.
A purple-robed figure suddenly appeared, looking at the weak purple and green flame silently.
"The Flower Goddess has fallen, and her God's position has split into two..."
"Who did this?" Anger brewed in the purple-robed figure's chest.
"WHO DID THIS??!"
"DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU, OR I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER FATE WORSE THAN DEATH WITH MY DESTRUCTION!"
After venting his anger by shouting, the purple-robed figure sighed and picked up the purple-green flame.
"Life would be sad..."
"She treats the Flower Goddess like her own younger sister."
"I should hurriedly look for an inheritor for these new God's positions, or else the Divine Realm will be weakened again."
"Flower Goddess might have fallen, but her legacy must continue..."
"Hmm, let's take a look at Douluo Planet. Homeland of Dragon God must have produced some excellent seedlings."
"At the same time, I can also supervise Asura... That shady guy have been too quiet recently."
With that in mind, the purple-robed figure vanished into the void.
