The tremendous explosion and the earth-shaking dragon's roar before the Golden Sacred Dragon's disappearance caught the attention of several people.
"That dragon roar just now it sounded like the Golden Sacred Dragon spirit. Could it be Xiaogang?" The severely injured Yu Yuanzhen struggled to his feet and flew unsteadily toward the source.
Yu Yuanzhen knew something about Flender, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang's spirit fusion skill.
As a father, he had to understand his son's reputation.
But he never expected its power to be this overwhelming even slightly suppressing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit.
Whatever their reasons for reconciling, he needed to see for himself.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and Bibi Dong, still locked in combat, also noticed the phenomenon.
"Damn it!"
Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat.
Familiar with She Long's abilities, she instantly recognized the two parties involved in that intense clash, even without close observation.
One was undoubtedly Yu Xiaogang. The other Qian Renxue, along with the 92nd-ranked She Long and Ci Xue.
Qian Renxue, why must you interfere when you came just to observe? Have your Seraphim wings grown too strong?
If anything happens to Xiaogang, I'll fight you to the death!
"Get lost!"
Bibi Dong forcefully repelled the Clear Sky Hammer with her Rakshasa Scythe and flew toward the Golden Sacred Dragon's location.
Seeing Bibi Dong leave, Tang Hao hesitated briefly before following at high speed without further attack.
Tang Hao also worried about Yu Xiaogang not the man himself, but the external spirit bone and 100,000-year spirit beast Xiao Wu in his possession.
Both were crucial for Tang San's growth and couldn't be lost.
As everyone converged on Yu Xiaogang's location, Tang San didn't remain idle either.
Extremely concerned about Xiao Wu, Tang San disregarded Zhao Wuji's attempts to stop him, insisting on reaching the battlefield.
Unable to dissuade him, Zhao Wuji had other teachers evacuate the remaining students to safety while escorting Tang San personally.
Aware of his own limitations, Tang San agreed to this arrangement.
Soon, both vanished from sight.
On the distant mountain peak, Ning Rongrong's group observed the battle through telescopes.
"That three-part spirit fusion skill is truly impressive!" The Sword Douluo's voice carried admiration.
"Rather than a true fusion, it's more accurate to say Flender and Liu Erlong's spirit power resonates to compensate for flaws in Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao," Ning Rongrong mused, chin in hand.
"Compensate for flaws?" Ning Fengzhi struggled to follow his daughter's reasoning.
Regarding spirit comprehension, even he had to admit Ning Rongrong surpassed him.
In the two years since awakening her spirit, Ning Rongrong had memorized every historical record on spirits within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
As she put it: "To find my optimal cultivation path, I must fully understand spirits."
Ning Fengzhi couldn't fathom how she maintained such focus reading tedious texts for so long without impatience.
"Father, don't you notice anything special about the Golden Sacred Dragon?"
Ning Rongrong's question pulled Ning Fengzhi from his thoughts.
"Special in what way?"
"Flender's owl spirit compensates for Luo Sanpao's lack of flight, while Liu Erlong's spirit provides golden dragon bloodline and fire attributes."
"Any sacred properties mainly relate to fire like how the fire dragon fruit we gave Qian Renxue boosted her level."
Ning Rongrong sighed. "Ultimately, Yu Xiaogang's spirit mutation was positive his own limitations just prevented full expression."
"Even the god-level Seraphim spirit lacks a spirit with its own consciousness like Luo Sanpao!"
"In my view, Yu Xiaogang's spirit isn't inferior to Qian Renxue's god-level Seraphim."
"Rongrong, aren't you overestimating Yu Xiaogang?" The Sword Douluo sounded skeptical despite his contemplation.
"Not at all." Ning Rongrong shook her head. "What Luo Sanpao lacks is dragon bloodline purity. The original Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline couldn't fully activate the Golden Sacred Dragon's potential."
"With further bloodline refinement perhaps..."
She chuckled, dismissing the thought.
Yu Xiaogang wasn't part of their clan why overanalyze?
"By the way, Father, Grandpa Sword what are your thoughts on their three-part fusion?" Ning Rongrong changed topics.
"Well, decent power but still inadequate against Title Douluo. If Yu Xiaogang reached level 50, they might match that She Long," the Sword Douluo analyzed seriously.
Ning Rongrong smiled and shook her head. "I meant the fusion mechanism itself."
"For instance, your relationship with Grandpa Bone and Father isn't weaker than the so-called Golden Iron Triangle's."
"Could you three achieve spirit fusion too? Perhaps by referencing their method."
Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Douluo exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment reflected back.
"Three-part spirit fusion isn't easily mastered," Ning Fengzhi said wryly.
Ning Rongrong's unconventional thinking often left others scrambling to keep up.
Spirit fusion skills were renowned for their formidable combined power and extreme rarity requiring inherent compatibility.
The Golden Sacred Dragon worked because the trio shared obscure connections. Similarly, the Star Luo Empire's famed Netherworld White Tiger fusion relied on both spirits being feline-based.
"Actually, I believe you three could achieve fusion," Ning Rongrong pondered aloud.
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi looked intrigued. "Explain."
Even the Sword Douluo seemed interested. After all, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan possessed fusion skills, why fear Qian Daoliu?
"Don't you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda's buff-stacking resembles spirit fusion in certain aspects?"
"Of course, this is purely theoretical..."
"The Pagoda leans toward light and sacred attributes, while Grandpa Bone's Bone Dragon embodies darkness, space, and defense."
"Grandpa Sword's Seven Kill Sword specializes in slaughter!"
"What intrigues me most is Grandpa Sword's ninth spirit ability Divine Demon Slash."
"It combines light and dark perhaps that's the key."
In the original story, Shrek Academy managed seven-part fusion to summon the Clear Sky Avatar during the tournament. The principle shouldn't be too different.
Though not a true fusion skill, it provided reference points.
"Bold thinking." The Sword Douluo fell deep into contemplation.
After a long silence, he looked uncertainly at Ning Fengzhi. "Fengzhi... Rongrong's idea might work."
"Then we'll discuss it thoroughly back home."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, glancing through his telescope at the still-confronting Tang Hao and others before lowering it.
"Rongrong, why did you want me to replicate your Grandpa Sword's mirror image earlier?"
"No rush." Ning Rongrong smiled mysteriously. "It relates to spirit fusion you'll see soon."
