Chapter 57: Terrifying Second Soul Skill, Ice Flame Wrathful Lotus!

Wang Feng sat in place, the Red Lotus in his hand blooming, pulling the faint black soul ring slowly into his body.

On the side, the Star Moon Fox curiously watched Wang Feng.

This was the second time it had seen its life-saving benefactor absorbing a soul ring.

The first time, he almost died, and his whole body was almost shattered by the power of the Golden Light Thunder Leopard!

But this time, it was the power of a ten-thousand-year soul beast!

Could he endure it?

The faint black soul ring enveloped Wang Feng, and a massive energy poured into his body.

However, this time, a smile appeared at the corner of Wang Feng's mouth.

Last time, the soul ring of the six-thousand-year Golden Light Thunder Leopard brought in energy that was violent, aggressive, and filled with resentment. It was uncontrollable and almost caused Wang Feng's body to disintegrate rapidly upon entry.

But this time was completely different!

"Ice Emperor Lizard harbors no resentment towards itself, and even shows gratitude. So, although the energy entering from the soul ring is destructive, it's not violent or aggressive. Most importantly, I control it!"

Wang Feng thought to himself.

The difference between being able to control it or not was enormous!

He thought of the soul beast sacrifice, but evidently, this wasn't a soul beast sacrifice; the Ice Emperor Lizard's strength was far from enough, and it couldn't absorb it. However, it allowed Wang Feng to control this energy.

The energy from the black soul ring was controlled almost the instant it entered Wang Feng's body and directed into the Blue Lotus in his Sea of Consciousness.

The second lotus seed in the central part of the Blue Lotus bloomed into a red lotus flower, and the massive energy flooded into the Red Lotus.

In an instant, the Red Lotus began to grow rapidly.

The petals expanded, and its size increased. Originally the size of a palm, with the influx of energy, it rapidly swelled and blossomed!

As if awakening, it transformed into a more vivid and clear red lotus, radiant and beautiful. The petals were then slowly covered by a layer of ice crystals, like decorations, adding a dreamlike ice crystal color.

However, the lotus leaf and lotus flower were crimson, shimmering with a brilliant crimson light, adding a dazzling touch. Yet, it was full of explosive power!

After the Red Lotus finished absorbing, there was still a portion of energy remaining in the soul ring.

This remaining part was controlled by Wang Feng, circulating throughout his body, ultimately gathering in his heart!

Although still extremely painful, compared to the first soul ring, which was violent and uncontrollable, wreaking havoc within his body, this time was much better!

Moreover, being able to control it meant that Wang Feng could control this ten-thousand-year soul ring, entering his heart and merging with the Meteor Tears.

To refine this soul power for his exclusive use!

The continuous influx of energy, under Wang Feng's control, crazily rushed into the soul ring and entered the Meteor Tears in his heart.

A stream of refined soul power was compressed and extracted from the Meteor Tears.

Like the rising tide of a great river, the energy continued unabated. If this energy were not under control, Wang Feng might have already exploded.

Even if it could be controlled, without the Meteor Tears, Wang Feng's body wouldn't be able to withstand the power of this ten-thousand-year soul ring!

In essence, this absorption, if the Ice Emperor Lizard hadn't willingly become Wang Feng's soul ring, without any resentment in the energy, without affecting his mind, allowing him to control this energy calmly, he would have had no chance of absorbing it!

Even if he had the Meteor Tears, it probably wouldn't work. The enormous energy brought by the ten-thousand-year soul ring could instantly cause his body and consciousness to explode, without giving the Meteor Tears a chance to rebuild his body.

After a long time, Wang Feng opened his eyes, and rainbow lights burst within them.

Two soul rings slowly rose from his body—one purple and one black.

"Soul power level, estimated to have reached level twenty-three!"

Wang Feng took a deep breath.

This advancement would normally take at least half a year if he followed the regular pace!

Most of the energy from the ten-thousand-year soul ring was used to elevate the Red Lotus and break through the bottleneck in cultivation. A small portion was compressed and refined by the Meteor Tears.

Even with just this small portion, under normal circumstances, it would be enough to allow an ordinary Soul Master to jump from level twenty to level thirty, causing their body to explode instantly.

However, for Wang Feng, compressing and refining the energy only resulted in a three-level increase!

"It seems that five years later, I should be able to reach level thirty. Moreover, I now have a ten-thousand-year soul ring, meeting the requirements to check in at Shrek Academy."

A hint of joy appeared on Wang Feng's face. "I can afford to not rush for the third soul ring now."

Feeling the explosion-like energy in his body, he said, "My body has become lighter again. It seems that my physical fitness has also improved. Although not as significant as the first time, the improvement is still obvious."

Because his body still had the weight-bearing armor, Wang Feng felt this more keenly.

"If I transform myself into a deity(first soul skill) now, I should be able to easily crush that six-thousand-year Golden Light Thunder Leopard! Facing a ten-thousand-year soul beast, I might even have the power to fight. Even if I can't win, I can still escape! When I reach level thirty, I should have the chance to defeat a ten-thousand-year soul beast!"

It was essential to know that a ten-thousand-year soul beast was equivalent to a level sixty-one Soul Emperor!

If Wang Feng faced the previous Soul Master who was over forty levels in the past, even without using the Red Lotus, he could approach and kill hun at the moment he made his move!

He wouldn't give the opponent a chance to use soul skills!

"The remaining seven levels are each more challenging than the last. Also, these three levels that have been raised in less than half a day need to be stabilized..."

Wang Feng pondered, then opened his palm, and the Ice Crystal Red Lotus bloomed.

This Red Lotus seemed to be much more beautiful than when it had not absorbed

the soul ring, with ice crystals scattered on its petals, reflecting the rich and full redness inside.

The combination of ice and fire was full of contradictions and beauty.

"Let me try your power!"

Wang Feng stood up.

The Star Moon Fox, lying next to him, rubbing its sleepy eyes, looked at Wang Feng and barked a few times.

The two-meter-long Ice Emperor Lizard pup, also from the ground, opened its sleepy eyes, looking somewhat confused at Wang Feng, with a hint of lingering sadness in its eyes.

Wang Feng said to the two soul beasts, "You two little guys, step back."

Obediently, the Star Moon Fox led the Ice Emperor Lizard pup, moving backward.

After saying that, Wang Feng temporarily ignored the two soul beasts. Instead, he leaped dozens of meters high from a nearby big tree.

Following that, Wang Feng activated the Red Lotus in his hand and picked a petal wrapped in ice crystals. He infused soul power into it.

The petals of the Golden Lotus were part of the Divine Soul Skill, capable of providing an all-around double amplification with an additional lightning-paralyzing attack.

As for this Red Lotus...

Wang Feng felt the terrifying power within it.

"Go!"

After infusing half of his current soul power into the picked Red Lotus petal, Wang Feng threw it forward!

The ice-crystal-wrapped bright lotus petal, now in mid-air, under the shining sun, emitted eerie rays of light.

"Explode!"

Wang Feng seemed to sense the terrifying power within the petal and moved his mind!

In the next moment, the ice crystals shattered!

Terrifying flames exploded from within the ice crystals!

Boom!

Within a radius of over a hundred meters, two terrifying forces of ice and fire swept through, devastating everything!

Even Wang Feng himself wasn't spared in this massive range!

Wherever it passed, everything turned into ashes, followed by a thick layer of ice.

Almost all the trees within a diameter of about two hundred meters were quickly reduced to ashes by the flames...

Even the ground had a crater now.

Wang Feng's clothes were nearly burnt to ashes, his body covered in a thick layer of ice, and countless ice shards shot towards his body, making a ping-pong sound.

After a moment,

Wang Feng looked at the scene in front of him, utterly amazed.

"This second soul skill is a large-scale group attack skill... and it seems the power is a bit overwhelming. This power would say goodbye to any defense-oriented Soul Master below level forty."

Taking out a set of clothes from the soul communicator, Wang Feng draped it over himself, looking at the ground turned into a flat field. In his eyes, there was some shock.

Staring at the Ice Crystal Red Lotus in his hand, Wang Feng thought to himself, if I were to detonate all the lotus petals and the entire Red Lotus... this is frightening.

Shaking his head, Wang Feng contemplated, "Maybe let's call this second soul skill 'Ice Flame Wrathful Lotus'?"
