Lotus Flower That Commanded the Wind Element

The two figures were Ling Xuan and Ye Lian. Ye Lian wiped at the nonexistent sweat on her forehead.

Her heart had nearly been scared to death. She unconsciously stroked her hair and muttered, "How could a super Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?!"

Ling Xuan had quickly finished absorbing his spirit ring, but strangely enough, they had encountered that Titan Giant Ape, dozens of meters tall, right on the outskirts.

Good heavens, faced with something that enormous, she could not muster even the slightest urge to fight it. Anyone who tried to resist it would either be pounded into pulp or turned into ashes.

Still, she swiftly grabbed Ling Xuan and accelerated away. Who knew whether they might run into that crazed giant ape again?

Lin Li arrived at Saint Er Junior Soul Master Academy even faster than she had yesterday, reaching it at almost exactly nine in the morning. She hurried back to the dormitory to wash up.

After changing into her school uniform, she quickly headed for the classroom. Sure enough, there were barely any people inside; they were all cultivating in their dormitories.

However, Zhou Yurou was sitting at her desk and cultivating earnestly, which Lin Li found hard to believe. Honestly, after spending yesterday together, Lin Li had developed a good impression of Zhou Yurou.

But she had thought Zhou Yurou was the type who could not settle down to cultivate. Yet at this moment, the pale pink lotus flower slowly floating above her palm and the faint Soul Power fluctuations around her proved that she could be wildly energetic, but she could also be a genius capable of calming herself down.

Yes, a genius. Although a Soul Master with Innate Soul Power at level seven could not compare to one with Innate Full Soul Power or level nine Innate Soul Power, she was still a rare genius in the world of Soul Masters.

Lin Li sat down at her desk and was surprised to find that someone had thoughtfully placed a chair cushion on her seat.

The cushion was identical to the one beneath Zhou Yurou. Lin Li curled her lips into a smile, and when she looked at Zhou Yurou again, there were several traces of warmth in her eyes.

She sat down and slowly began cultivating the Death God Art. Because the energy she had devoured and absorbed within her body was sufficient, her aura rapidly rose as well.

The phoenix's circling flight grew faster and faster. After swiftly circling twice, a powerful surge suddenly burst from her body—late stage level eighteen.

Her disturbance also affected Zhou Yurou. Zhou Yurou slowly opened her eyes and, upon seeing Lin Li, said in surprise, "Xiao Li, you're here."

Lin Li nodded. "Thank you for the cushion."

Zhou Yurou blushed slightly and waved her hand. "My mother made it. As long as you don't mind it, Xiao Li."

Lin Li smiled. "How could I? Auntie is very skilled!"

Yet her heart throbbed with pain, and her hatred for Tang Hao's family and those people deepened by several degrees.

Seeing the faint Soul Power fluctuations around Zhou Yurou, she smiled and said, "I think that in another half month or so, our Yurou will become a Soul Master too!"

Zhou Yurou nodded fiercely. "Xiao Li, I discovered that the Clear Wind Meditation Method suits my martial soul very well. When I circulate the Clear Wind Meditation Method, I can sense the wind scattered around me."

Lin Li's gaze sharpened when she heard this, and she was extremely surprised. She did not know the origins of the Clear Wind Meditation Method, nor was this an area she had studied. But based solely on Zhou Yurou being able to sense the surrounding wind through it—

She immediately concluded without hesitation that this was definitely her martial soul's innate talent, or that her martial soul could command the Wind Element!

It could be said with certainty that a martial soul innately capable of controlling an element could, at the very least, reach the realm of a Spirit Saint, so long as its talent was not utterly terrible.

She raised her eyes and asked, "Can I take a look at your martial soul?" This was a major taboo among Soul Masters. Under normal circumstances, one could not ask about another Soul Master's martial soul or spirit abilities.

Zhou Yurou nodded without understanding why. The instant she released her martial soul, an elegant lotus flower, neither gaudy nor seductive, appeared in her palm.

The lotus flower was entirely white, but the pointed tips of its petals carried an exceptionally translucent shade of pink, tender and pink like conch pearls.

Yet the lotus flower moved without wind. Every time it swayed, Lin Li, relying on the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix's almost abnormal perception, could sense a faint breeze emanating from Zhou Yurou's martial soul.

That breeze even carried a refreshing lotus fragrance. When the scent touched her nose, her tightly wound mind relaxed somewhat.

Her eyes immediately lit up. "Yurou, your martial soul is not simple!"

Zhou Yurou said in confusion, "Isn't my martial soul just a lotus flower? My Innate Soul Power is only a little higher. The Soul Master who awakened my martial soul said it was a useless martial soul."

Lin Li immediately asked, "Was the Soul Master who awakened your martial soul named Su Yuntao?"

Zhou Yurou shook her head. "No. He said his name was Su Yunhai."

Lin Li stroked her chin, deeply suspecting that the two were blood brothers. She promptly said to Zhou Yurou, "Yurou, my martial soul has an ability that can examine the attributes and capabilities of other people's martial souls."

Zhou Yurou asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with my martial soul?"

Hearing that, Lin Li secretly thought that no matter how mature the people of this world were at an early age, they still could not compare to adults.

So she carefully explained, "Just now, I sensed two kinds of power within your martial soul. One was the Wind Element—I think you already know that, and the Clear Wind Meditation Method is the best proof. But the other was a Spirit Attribute!"

The moment Lin Li finished speaking, a seductive female voice rang out in surprise. "A Spirit Attribute?"

It was Ye Lian. Ye Lian had long since changed out of her black shirt and pants, replacing them with a bright red dress.

A boy in a school uniform followed at her side. If that boy had not worn such a cold expression, the scene would have been much more harmonious.

Ye Lian looked at her, and Lin Li instantly understood. "Teacher, when I was observing Yurou's martial soul just now, I suddenly smelled a fragrance. It was faint, but it affected my thoughts somewhat."

Ye Lian was extremely surprised. She had accepted Zhou Yurou into Class One simply because of her high Innate Soul Power level. She had not expected such an unexpected gain.

She looked calmly at Zhou Yurou, her voice gentle yet unquestionable. "Release your martial soul."

Zhou Yurou nodded. The lotus flower martial soul bloomed from her hand, but when facing Lin Li, the lotus flower actually drooped as though bowing in submission.

However, the fragrance drifting from the lotus flower into the air still made Ye Lian frown slightly.

She looked at the pure lotus flower in Zhou Yurou's hand in astonishment. It truly contained a Spirit Attribute.

She immediately said, "Not bad. It does indeed possess a Spirit Attribute!"

Then she looked at Zhou Yurou and said, "Cultivate diligently from now on. Perhaps among the continent's most renowned Plant Control System Battle Soul Masters, there may be a place for you!"

Zhou Yurou immediately nodded. "Thank you, Teacher!"

Ye Lian gave a soft acknowledgment, then looked at Ling Feng. "Come on. Let's test your First Spirit Ability!"

Just as the two were about to step out of the classroom, Ye Lian finally remembered the system mission.

She immediately said, "Teacher, wait!"

Ye Lian frowned at her. "Xiao Li, is something the matter?"

Lin Li immediately said, "I see that Ling Feng has already obtained his First Spirit Ring. By coincidence, my level has advanced somewhat over the past two days. I can help him test the strength of his spirit ability!"

Ye Lian raised her brows and looked at Ling Xuan. "Classmate Li wants to spar with you. Do you agree?" Her tone carried a hint of stoking the flames.

Ling Xuan nodded. "Please teach me."
