Upon returning to the Martial Soul Manpr, Tang San immediately embraced Xiao Wu, who had leaped towards him. He gently said, "You're still as lively as ever."

"Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu is just showing how much she missed you." Xiao Wu giggled, noticing that Guang Ling, Ning Rongrong, Huo Wu, and others had also gathered at the entrance. She quickly released her legs from around Tang San's waist. "Ahem, I got a bit too excited. Just pretend you didn't see that... By the way, who are these three?"

Seeing Xiao Wu change the topic, Tang San followed suit and introduced the newcomers. "These are spirit masters from Silver Blue Estate with innate martial spirits. After Tianheng and Yan Yan completed their mission, they returned to Tian Dou City. Ling Xi and Ling Meng found quite a few people with innate martial spirits, and I had an idea to train them."

Ning Rongrong examined the three and asked, "What are your names and what are your martial spirits?"

"Greetings, Miss Rongrong. My name is Shen Hou, but you can also call me Jia Jiu. My martial soul is the heart, including all the blood vessels connected to it." Shen Hou, the most lively of the three, was the first to speak, but he still seemed a bit nervous in front of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's young lady.

"No need to be so tense." Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, finding Shen Hou rather amusing. She then looked at the wrinkled old woman. "Brother, isn't this person a bit too old?"

"Miss, my martial soul is skin. It just has many wrinkles." You Ji's voice was small, but all the women present could tell she was actually very young. "My name is You Ji."

"She's only seventeen, but her appearance is something she currently can't change," Tang San explained.

"Sorry," Ning Rongrong said, her eyes filled with a hint of sympathy.

"Hello, Miss. My name is Hai Zhu, and my martial spirit is the skeleton." Hai Zhu spoke last, his voice loud and clear, though his frail body was somewhat disconcerting.

Xiao Wu immediately noticed that Hai Zhu had likely suffered from severe malnutrition as a child, and it would take significant time to improve his condition. She looked at Tang San and asked, "Do we need to provide them with supplements?"

"Of course," Tang San smiled. "For them to cultivate better, their foundations must be strengthened. At Silver Blue Estate, although they don't lack food and drink, ordinary meals won't be enough to enhance their foundations quickly. If they miss the best age for cultivation, it won't be good."

"Their innate martial spirits are very complete. If their foundations are solid, their cultivation speed won't be any less than those with innate full soul power."

"This is also the advantage of innate martial spirits: their innate soul power is more directly proportional to the strength of their bodies. A strong body results in high innate soul power, while a weak body results in low or even zero innate soul power."

"These types of martial spirits have high upper limits and low lower limits, entirely dependent on an individual's physical condition and future development."

Only then did Xiao Wu and the others realize the power of innate martial spirits, nodding in understanding. They finally understood why Tang San was recruiting people with innate martial spirits.

If trained well, these individuals could potentially become titled Douluo.

Even if innate martial spirits didn't excel in soul skills, by the time they reached the level of titled Douluo, they would have strong bodies and abundant soul power, allowing them to overwhelm many other soul masters.

And even at the lowest, they could use numbers to compensate for quality.

Furthermore, in Xiao Wu and the others' understanding, since Tang San was so attentive, these innate martial spirit holders would undoubtedly reach a very high level.

After arranging for the three to stay in the residential area of the Martial Soul Manor, Xiao Wu asked, "Brother, you're not just training a few titled Douluo, are you?"

"Right, my main goal is to understand if I have any deficiencies before my breakthrough, and to fully complete the details of the Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Storehouse." Tang San revealed his true intention. "Innate martial spirits are the best reference, and I believe that these non-elemental martial spirits can perform martial spirit fusion, and not just between two people, but among multiple people."

In Tang San's classification, martial spirit fusion techniques fall into three categories: soul power fusion, soul skill fusion, and martial spirit fusion.

The women realized that Tang San's concept of martial spirit fusion involved multiple innate martial soul holders merging into a complete human form.

"What an incredible idea." Xiao Wu envisioned multiple people merging into one "human" form, which would undoubtedly be a massive figure with immense power.

Ning Rongrong added, "Wouldn't that require a lot of innate martial spirit holders?"

Martial soul fusion requires compatibility. It already takes considerable time for two people to synchronize. With multiple people, the time needed would be extensive. To form a complete "human," all body parts like the skeleton, muscles, brain, and various organs would need to be included. This would likely necessitate more than a thousand individuals.

The most crucial part is that once the martial souls are fused, a single consciousness must dominate. How would so many people manage to share control?

"Indeed, unifying control is a significant challenge," Tang San acknowledged Ning Rongrong's concerns. "But in reality, not that many people are needed because innate martial souls can undergo secondary, or even tertiary and quaternary awakenings."

"Take Shen Hou, for example. Her martial soul is the heart and blood vessels, which is already quite comprehensive. With secondary or tertiary awakenings, she might encompass blood and even blood-producing bone marrow."

"Unlike other martial spirits that evolve through spirit rings, innate martial souls can grow independently as long as there is sufficient energy and the right conditions for awakening and evolution."

Currently, with twelve innate martial spirits, including Fan Niu and Fan Ma, if they all undergo at least one awakening in the future, it should be possible to piece together a complete human body structure.

Tang San had a hunch that once innate martial spirit holders fused into a complete "human form," it would inspire him in unexpected ways.

The Jade Bone Golden Skin Divine Storehouse technique might achieve true perfection.

Or he might develop some powerful physical combat techniques.

"San Ge, let's set that aside for now. We have something more tangible to show you," Xiao Wu suddenly licked her lips, eyeing Tang San greedily.

Huo Wu leaned in and whispered in his ear, "I've improved my control over gravity a bit and want to try using it in forging. Let's see if we can turn an iron rod into a needle."

Ning Rongrong blushed, "Knowing you were coming back today, I took a day off from the Heaven and Earth Trading Company."

Compared to the other three women, Guang Ling was still a bit shy but softly said, "I've been slow in cultivating my blood energy. I mainly want to study with you, teacher, to catch up on what I've missed."

Tang San laughed heartily and, embracing the women, headed towards the bedroom, leaving Gu Yuena standing in the doorway, feeling disarrayed. Finally, she raised her middle finger, "Such a pervert!"

"Hmm?"

"It seems someone else is watching us?"

Gu Yuena sensed a hidden spiritual power coming from the Pope's Palace.

At this moment, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, cursing, "Damn Tang San, he returns without reporting to me, the Pope, and engages in such activities first!"

"Sooner or later, he'll die from exhaustion with women!"

"凸(艹皿艹)!"
