Chaos Green Lotus Emerges! This Old Man Wants to Settle a Personal Score!

Before long, Dugu Yan's gaze was drawn to the changes in Ye Qing.

Standing by the pool, Ye Qing radiated a unique aura he had never possessed before.

His black eyes had become deeper, like obsidian tempered to perfection.

His skin had become more crystalline and translucent, with faint icy-blue and crimson glimmers flowing beneath it.

Most importantly, there was the aura emanating from him.

His Soul Power was clearly still at level ten, yet even she, a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, felt a trace of pressure from him.

What exactly had this guy experienced underwater?

"Ye Qing, you..."

Dugu Yan lowered the hand covering her face, her emerald eyes filled with curiosity and shock. "What's going on with you now?"

Ye Qing lowered his head and looked at his hands, then slowly clenched them into fists.

"What's going on?"

He took a deep breath, a spirited smile spreading across his face.

"I did it!"

"You did it?"

"Immune to water and fire. Hundred Poisons Immunity."

Ye Qing's voice was not loud, but every word carried excitement he could not suppress.

"The medicinal effects of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot have completely fused with my body."

"From now on, flames and frost can't hurt me, and no poison can corrode me."

"To put it dramatically, not even a Title Douluo can compare to me."

"What?"

A shocked gasp came from behind him.

It was not Dugu Yan.

It was Dugu Bo.

Old Poison had appeared by the pool at some point, his emerald eyes widened like bells.

"Kid, do you know what a Title Douluo represents?"

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of dangerous amusement.

Ye Qing turned to face Dugu Bo, neither servile nor overbearing. "I'm referring to resistance against ice, fire, and poison, not overall physical strength."

"In that regard, even a Title Douluo might not measure up to me."

Dugu Bo raised a brow, about to retort, when he saw Ye Qing lift his right hand.

A lotus bloomed in his palm.

Dugu Bo's pupils suddenly contracted.

It was not the pure white, crystalline Nine-Leaf Lotus from before.

It was a lotus wreathed in chaotic cyan.

It still had nine petals.

But every petal glimmered with a deep, secluded cyan light.

And above those petals, a cyan flame burned quietly.

That flame was exceedingly strange.

Though it was merely a palm-sized cluster, it simultaneously emitted two utterly opposing auras: extreme cold and extreme heat.

The powers of ice and fire intertwined in some mysterious manner, forming an entirely new chaotic cyan.

Dugu Bo stared at the cyan lotus and cyan flame for a full three breaths.

"What kind of flame is this?"

"I don't know either."

Ye Qing admitted it frankly, though his eyes shone brilliantly.

"It's neither ice nor fire—or rather, it's both ice and fire."

"Ice and fire reached a certain balance within my Martial Soul, giving birth to this entirely new power. So I gave it a name."

He paused before saying each word distinctly, "My Martial Soul is called the Chaos Green Lotus, and this flame is called Chaos Green Flame."

Dugu Bo silently repeated those two names, his gaze growing increasingly grave.

Chaos.

What an audacious name.

But he had to admit that it suited it.

The ice and fire power contained within that flame had merged into a flawless whole. It truly carried the feeling of the world at its beginning, when chaos remained undivided.

Most importantly, he had never heard of anyone whose Martial Soul could undergo a second mutation—and even mutate a new attribute.

The effects of these immortal herbs were somewhat outrageous.

"Kid."

Dugu Bo's voice suddenly lowered. "Does your Martial Soul have any other abilities?"

Ye Qing fell silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"Not for now."

"I can sense that it has some hidden traits that haven't fully emerged yet, but I'll need to obtain a Soul Ring before I can determine what they are."

Ye Qing stared at the Chaos Green Lotus in his palm, his tone carrying certainty and anticipation.

"But I'm sure of one thing: my Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul isn't that simple."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, each seeing a trace of shock in the other's eyes.

Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qing, complicated emotions flickering in her emerald eyes.

This man had been constantly overturning everything she thought she knew ever since they first met.

From a useless nobody with only level-three Soul Power to a genius whose Martial Soul evolved after consuming immortal herbs.

From a pretty boy full of tricks to a ruthless man who dared soak in the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for an entire month.

And now, he had produced this unprecedented Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul.

Who exactly was he?

No, it no longer mattered who he was.

What mattered was that he was the man Dugu Yan had chosen.

Ye Qing was still happily admiring his Chaos Green Lotus, finding it cooler the longer he looked.

If this were one of those cultivation novels from his past life, the Chaos Green Lotus would definitely be a top-tier spiritual root.

With the Chaos Green Flame added on top of that, a double boost like this had to be the bearing of an Immortal Emperor at the very least.

He was imagining himself standing atop a cyan lotus, holding cyan flame in his hand, and crushing Tang San when Dugu Yan's embarrassed, angry voice suddenly rang out again.

"Ye Qing! Why are you spacing out? Are you posing before you've even put your clothes on properly?"

Ye Qing looked down.

Oh. He had been so excited just now that he had only slipped one arm into his clothes before summoning his Martial Soul to show off.

Half his body was still exposed.

He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly got dressed.

Dugu Yan turned her head away, the tips of her ears burning red.

Seeing her like that, Ye Qing secretly laughed.

She kept saying she would not look, but her body was honest.

Come to think of it, after a month, Yanzi seemed even prettier than before.

The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid had not only strengthened her foundation and nourished her vitality, but also improved Yanyan's Soul Power and cultivation aptitude.

Even her skin had become more delicate and smooth, while her emerald hair gleamed brilliantly beneath the sunlight.

As expected of an Immortal Grade.

It could not only increase strength, but improve one's looks as well.

Ye Qing finished getting dressed and was about to say something serious to Dugu Yan when he suddenly heard a cough behind him.

"Cough, cough."

Dugu Bo strolled over from the direction of the Medicine Garden with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and composed.

His emerald eyes swept over Ye Qing, flashing with a dangerous smile that Ye Qing failed to catch.

"Earlier, you said your body had Hundred Poisons Immunity?"

The corners of Dugu Bo's mouth slowly curled upward.

A curve that made Ye Qing's skin crawl.

"Since that's the case, let this old man test it for you."

Ye Qing's smile instantly froze on his face.

No, wait!

Dugu Bo's right hand was already slowly rising, emerald Soul Power beginning to surge in his palm.

Sinister poison gas spread from his body, and some weeds on the ground visibly withered and blackened.

"Kid, you said you were immune to all poisons just now, right?"

Dugu Bo's smile grew even brighter—so bright that Ye Qing's scalp tingled.

"This old man has quite a few interesting poisons, but I've never found suitable test subjects."

"Since you're so confident, help this old man test them."

Ye Qing's mouth twitched wildly.

This was bad.

This old man wanted to use public business to settle a personal score!

What test? He clearly wanted to use this chance to get revenge for Ye Qing stealing Yanyan away!
