First Soul Skill, Fire Lotus Explosion!

Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. Feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, a smile unconsciously spread across his lips.

"I... succeeded...!"

At this moment, Fang Yang had broken through the Level 10 bottleneck and officially become a true One-Ring Soul Master.

Even more surprisingly, his Soul Power had directly reached Level 15!

Fang Yang leaped down from the bed and raised his right hand. With a slight thought, the previously dim room immediately brightened.

A purple halo slowly rose from beneath his feet, climbing upward before pulsing around his body.

This was the Soul Ring unique to Soul Masters. A Purple Soul Ring represented a Thousand Year Soul Spirit.

On Douluo Continent, a Soul Spirit's grade determined a Soul Master's potential.

White represented ten years, yellow represented a Hundred years, purple represented a Thousand years, black represented Ten thousand years, while the legendary red symbolized a hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit!

Ten thousand years ago, before Soul Spirits existed, the most recognizable feature of Soul Masters was their Soul Rings.

Ten thousand years ago, when there were no Soul Spirits, Soul Rings were the clearest mark of a Soul Master. Nowadays, Soul Rings and Soul Spirits complemented each other, establishing a Soul Master's status and identity.

"Let's try my First Soul Skill..."

Fang Yang opened his palm, and a ball of dark yellow flame abruptly flared up.

Then, the center of the flame continuously condensed, eventually transforming into a budding fire lotus.

Lava-like patterns flowed across its petals, while the terrifying heat warped the surrounding air, as though even space itself were faintly trembling.

This was the First Soul Skill granted by his Thousand Year Soul Spirit: Fire Lotus Explosion!

It compressed extreme flame into a lotus that exploded upon touching its target, with a five-meter range and a burning effect.

Looking at the Heavenly Flames in his hand, Fang Yang suddenly recalled that legendary existence.

That supreme expert who had swept across the continent with Heavenly Flames.

His current Heavenly Flames were still far inferior to that person's techniques, but if he could devour several types of Heavenly Flames in the future, perhaps he could surpass him...

Of course, perhaps not. He did not even know what realm that person had reached by now.

But as he thought of this, a Meaningful smile curled across his lips. "Interesting. Art is Patrick Star."

A moment later, Fang Yang moved his thoughts, relying on his control over the Heavenly Flames.

The fire lotus slowly dissipated in his palm.

This was his own room, after all. If he accidentally set it off, his mother, Lin Ximeng, would surely twist his ears off.

Fang Yang pushed open the door and walked out. Waves of delicious food aromas drifted from the Living Room.

Na'er was already seated at the Dining Table. When she saw him emerge, a trace of delight flashed through her amethyst-like eyes.

"Yang'er, come eat. We've been waiting for you," Lin Ximeng called gently.

Fang Yang hurried to the Dining Table. Looking at the lavish spread of Dishes, his stomach growled helplessly.

He eagerly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began eating with Na'er.

After dinner, warm light filled the Living Room. The family sat together on the soft sofa as the Soul Guide TV played an entertaining program.

"Oh, right, Yang'er, what is your First Soul Skill? The Soul Skill you gained after fusing with a Thousand Year Soul Spirit should be quite good, shouldn't it?"

Lin Ximeng asked softly, her gentle gaze resting on Fang Yang.

Na'er looked over as well, curiosity gleaming in her violet eyes.

"My First Soul Skill is called Fire Lotus Explosion. It compresses extreme flame into the shape of a lotus, which explodes upon touching a target. It has a five-meter range and a burning effect."

With a smile on his face, Fang Yang spoke slowly.

The next moment, a dazzling Purple Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet as Soul Power surged.

He spread open his palm, and a ball of dark yellow flame abruptly flared up.

Then, the center of the flame continuously condensed, eventually transforming into a budding fire lotus.

Lava-like patterns flowed across its petals, while the terrifying heat warped the surrounding air, as though even space itself were faintly trembling.

The First Soul Skill, Fire Lotus Explosion, was a simplified version of the Flame Emperor's famous ultimate technique, Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus.

There was no need to mention the explosive power of Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus! Even Spirit Hall praised it after getting a taste.

Spirit Hall: "For my Peanut!"

When she saw Fang Yang's Soul Skill, a trace of astonishment flashed through Na'er's eyes, and turmoil rose in her heart.

"Is that the terrifying flame...?"

Watching the fire lotus dancing in Fang Yang's hand, Lin Ximeng wore an expression of both relief and concern. "Yang'er, your First Soul Skill is very powerful, but Mom is worried..."

"Don't worry, Mom!" Fang Yang withdrew his Soul Skill, and the fire lotus turned into sparks that scattered through the air.

"With my current strength, there isn't a single person my age who can fight me."

But inwardly, he silently added, Of course, Tang Wulin doesn't count. He is the protagonist, after all. Unless I can find a way to strip the Golden Dragon King Divine Core Bloodline from his body...

"Silly child, Mom isn't worried that you can't beat others. I'm afraid you won't know your limits and might hurt your classmates." Lin Ximeng shook her head helplessly.

Fang Yang promised, "Mom, don't worry. I'll keep a lower profile at school and won't casually use this Soul Skill."

"I hope so." Lin Ximeng sighed softly, though her gaze still held a trace of worry.

Meanwhile, Fang Yang's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

Once the idea of seizing Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline had appeared, it lingered stubbornly in his mind.

"Fellow Immortal Tang Wulin, forgive me. Let me become exalted first, then lead you to become exalted afterward."

But he calculated inwardly, Na'er is still here. It's too risky to make a move against Tang Wulin now.

Na'er possessed the avatar power of the Silver Dragon King. What if she were affected...

One had to know that the current Plane Master was Tang Hao, along with Tang Yin, the Life Core.

He did not dare gamble. As the saying went, it was better to be safe than sorry!

I should wait until Na'er leaves before finding an opportunity to act against Tang Wulin, Fang Yang thought to himself.

As for the threat posed by that Super Divine Weapon, the Sea God Trident?

A cold smile appeared on Fang Yang's lips. He possessed the supreme treasure, the Heavenly Flame Bead, and did not take it to heart at all.

Did they think Tang San was some formidable supreme expert? He was merely a strand of Divine Sense. Fang Yang could grab him and refine him in an instant!

Of course, if Tang San truly returned from the Wandering God Realm, that would be another matter...

However, Fang Yang recalled the scene when he had been tested at the Spirit Pagoda and found to possess 101 points in the Spirit Connection Realm.

The moment Su Tao finished speaking, he keenly Detected the fleeting Killing Intent on Na'er's body.

It was not directed at him, but at Su Tao...

At that moment, Fang Yang understood everything.

Yet deep down, Fang Yang was still deceiving himself, unwilling to admit that Na'er had already recovered her memories.

He continued pretending that the innocent and naive Na'er was still by his side.

Forget it. It's still too early to think about these things. For now, I'll take things one step at a time, Fang Yang thought, shaking his head inwardly.
