Buddha Fury Fire Lotus's First Soul Skill: Green Lotus Transformation!

"Whew, I've finally made it back to level ten."

Yu Tianjiao opened his eyes. Feeling the Soul Power inside him had reached level ten, he beamed.

Thanks to the rare Immortal Herbs his father, Yu Yuanzhen, had given him, it had taken him only around ten days to cultivate back to level ten.

But this method wasn't something just anyone could use. The medicinal power contained in those herbs would likely make an ordinary Soul Scholar explode if they ate them.

Only a monster like Yu Tianjiao, whose physical constitution rivaled a Soul Ancestor's, could refine them with ease.

Unfortunately, those Immortal Herbs were clearly inferior in quality and age to the ones Tang San had found in Sunset Forest.

Yu Tianjiao had eaten almost all of them before he finally recovered to level ten.

He had only one Immortal Herb left.

It wasn't that he didn't want to eat it. The problem was, he had no idea what it was.

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's library had no information about this Immortal Herb.

But that didn't really matter. With his cultivation efficiency boosted by 400%, he would still cultivate far faster than anyone else.

His most urgent task now was to obtain his First Soul Ring.

The Soul Ring for his Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Martial Soul was already in his system space. He planned to use it right away.

As for the Soul Ring for his Ancient Void Dragon Martial Soul, he would have to hunt a Soul Beast to obtain it.

And it had to be a Sub-Dragon Species beast.

Considering that he could absorb a five-thousand-year Soul Ring even as his first, he couldn't go out fooling around alone this time.

After all, no matter how strong his body was, he had no Soul Skills to rely on yet, and his Soul Power was low. Expecting to kill a Sub-Dragon Species beast with nothing but brute strength would be pure fantasy.

Still, he was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's third young master. He certainly wasn't short of clan elders willing to help him hunt a Soul Ring. After telling his father, Yu Yuanzhen, that he was going to hunt a Soul Beast and obtain one, he returned to his courtyard and told his maid he would be entering secluded cultivation. No one was to disturb him.

Once inside the quiet room in the courtyard, specially set aside for secluded Soul Power cultivation, Yu Tianjiao held his left palm upward and curled his fingers slightly. A point of light appeared in his palm, then quickly expanded into an illusory, colorless Fire Lotus.

Everyone knew that Buddha Fury Fire Lotus required at least two kinds of flame, one of which had to be a Heavenly Flame, before it could be condensed.

The Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Martial Soul worked the same way. It needed at least two Soul Rings before he could use it.

Originally, Yu Tianjiao had planned to wait until his Ancient Void Dragon Martial Soul reached its seventh Soul Ring before adding a Soul Ring to his Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.

That way, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus would gain seven Soul Rings that were at least fifty thousand years old, and its destructive power would become truly terrifying.

By then, once he unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, Yu Tianjiao was confident he could blow even a weaker Titled Douluo to pieces!

But the Soul Ring rewarded by the system was a growth-type Soul Ring. Its age would increase automatically as his strength grew, so he didn't need to worry about its age at all. He could simply absorb it!

With that thought, Yu Tianjiao claimed the Soul Ring rewarded by the system. The ring, glowing with a deep purple light, flew straight onto the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Martial Soul in his hand.

As the purple Soul Ring settled around the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, an incredibly scorching energy surged from his palm and spread through his entire body.

It felt as if his insides were on fire, his meridians twisting from the heat. Yu Tianjiao's body trembled violently, and a pained, muffled growl escaped his lips.

"Ugh..."

He felt as if he wasn't absorbing a Soul Ring at all, but a genuine Heavenly Flame!

But this wasn't his first time absorbing a Soul Ring. Though he felt as if he might be burned to death at any moment, the more intense it became, the more excited and eager he felt.

This pain was several times worse than when he had absorbed a five-thousand-year Soul Ring. That meant the Soul Skill he gained after completing the absorption certainly wouldn't disappoint him!

After enduring the torment of the flames for a full two and a half hours, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus Martial Soul finally grew solid under Yu Tianjiao's relieved gaze. The fire lotus, originally colorless, had now turned green.

Yu Tianjiao felt refreshed from head to toe. From this day forward, he would be free of all restraints!

Looking down at the green Fire Lotus in his palm, he was just about to sense what his Buddha Fury Fire Lotus's First Soul Skill was when he caught sight of his bare body.

"Damn!"

As he realized what had happened, he glanced around. The small stone table used for holding things in the quiet room had melted, leaving a puddle of solidified liquid on the floor.

He was completely naked, but thankfully, when he felt his head, he found his hair was still there. That was a relief.

He didn't want to end up with the same buzz cut as Yu Xiaogang in a few days. That would be bad luck!

He casually took a fresh black shirt from his Soul Tool ring and put it on. Only then did Yu Tianjiao come to his senses and begin inspecting his First Soul Skill.

After obtaining his First Soul Ring, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus had become solid, allowing him to summon Green Lotus Core Flame to fight his enemies. But given Yu Tianjiao's meager Soul Power, the Green Lotus Core Flame he summoned was limited in strength and nowhere near as powerful as a true Heavenly Flame.

His First Soul Skill was called Green Lotus Transformation. It could increase his Soul Power limit by 500% for three minutes, and every attack he made would carry the burning effect of Green Lotus Core Flame, consuming the opponent's Soul Power as well.

However, the burning effect had no effect on opponents more than two major realms above him.

After the Soul Skill had been active for more than three minutes, he would also be affected by the burning buff and injured by Green Lotus Core Flame.

"Not bad. A five-hundred-percent increase to my Soul Power limit..." Yu Tianjiao nodded in satisfaction, then immediately realized what he had said. "How much? Five hundred percent?"

Good grief. They weren't even pretending anymore. Wasn't this effect basically the first stage of Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations?

Yu Tianjiao thought it over, then tried activating his First Soul Skill, Green Lotus Transformation.

The next moment, scorching flames surged out of his body, then instantly rolled back into him.

A scorching wave of Soul Power burst from Yu Tianjiao. After absorbing the Soul Ring, his Soul Power had reached level twelve; now it shot straight up to level sixteen.

At the same time, green energy crystals appeared across Yu Tianjiao's body. They hovered over his skin, looking exceptionally strange.

"Not bad. As my Soul Power level rises, this five-hundred-percent increase will become even greater. When I reach the Titled Douluo level, even gaining one level will give me a huge advantage."

Feeling the abundant strength within him, Yu Tianjiao exhaled a breath of scorching air and muttered to himself with satisfaction.

Next, he would head to Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, then make his way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and begin his school life all over again!
