Chapter 62: Changes in the Chaos Blue Lotus

Chapter 62: Changes in the Chaos Blue Lotus

These past few days, the academy has been bustling with activity, as the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, held once every five years, has just concluded.

The Star Luo Royal Academy's team emerged victorious, and the entire nation celebrated. The academy was full of festive decorations, with both commoners and nobles coming together to celebrate this historic moment, overshadowing the excitement from Dai Yao's recent duel.

In the original story, the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament had been held three times, with Spirit Hall winning twice and the Star Luo Empire winning once. The victory in this instance was a sure thing for the Star Luo Royal Academy.

To prepare for the next tournament, the Star Luo Royal Academy had already begun selecting participants, and the team captain was none other than Davis.

After winning the championship, the Star Luo Royal Academy team returned to the academy, and the number of high-ranking Soul Masters increased significantly. Many Soul Emperors and even Soul Kings appeared.

However, there was something else that caught Dai Yao's attention.

Dai Mubai had disappeared.

There was no longer any sign of him pretending to be drunken and parading around the academy with the twin sisters.

"It looks like he's already left the Star Luo Empire," Dai Yao thought, recalling Dai Mubai's visit a few days ago and the words he had spoken to him.

"We will meet in the Heaven Dou Empire! When that happens, I will definitely have a good battle with you seven from Shrek."

Dai Yao felt a surge of excitement.

After his conversation with Lan Yuxuan, Dai Yao had been keeping to himself, shutting the door to visitors and not meeting anyone.

He had his meals brought to him by Feng Wutong.

He estimated the time; another day had passed.

It had been three days since his duel with Dai Yaming. Including the day of the duel, there were only three days left until the seven-day deadline Dai Hengyu had given him.

Dai Yao sighed, hoping that Zhu Zhuqing would return soon.

He stood facing the waterfall, scanning the surroundings. When he saw no one, he stepped into the waterfall and entered the cave.

After so many days, he finally had time to look at his second martial soul, the Chaos Blue Lotus.

When he obtained his first soul ring, the Chaos Blue Lotus had, for some reason, produced a soul ring on its own.

Dai Yao regretted this and sighed.

After all, one of the most extraordinary aspects of twin martial souls is that when one martial soul reaches Title Douluo rank, the second martial soul can have its soul rings from soul beasts that are over 50,000 years old.

But the Chaos Blue Lotus had completely lost this advantage.

Now that he had reached Great Soul Master rank, he wondered if the Chaos Blue Lotus had undergone any changes.

He focused his soul power, and a blue lotus appeared on his left hand.

The green-blue glow emitted a majestic aura, so overwhelming that one could not look directly at it. It made people instinctively want to kneel and worship.

The moment the Chaos Blue Lotus appeared, all the plants in the cave instantly began growing at an alarming rate. Within a few breaths, the entire cave looked like a dense forest.

The vegetation flourished despite the lack of sunlight, something that completely defied the usual rules of plant growth.

But Dai Yao was no longer surprised by the mysterious abilities of the Chaos Blue Lotus.

The blue lotus slowly rotated in his hand. As he channeled his soul power, two soul rings appeared around it.

Two purple soul rings.

The purple rings gleamed with nobility and mystery.

Dai Yao almost gasped in shock.

Two thousand-year soul rings! This meant that his guess had been correct—the Chaos Blue Lotus could indeed generate its own soul rings.

When he had originally tried to place the thousand-year soul ring from the Earth Dragon onto the Chaos Blue Lotus, the lotus had clearly rejected it.

At that time, there had been no second soul ring to absorb, so it could only be the Chaos Blue Lotus that had created its own rings.

"Could it be that if I continue cultivating, the Chaos Blue Lotus could create ten-thousand-year or even hundred-thousand-year soul rings?" he thought, shocked by the possibility.

The ability to generate soul rings was a terrifying power. However, Dai Yao had already grown accustomed to such strange phenomena.

He now felt more certain than ever that this lotus was the legendary Chaos Blue Lotus.

At the same time, he noticed that his first hundred-year soul ring had already transformed into a thousand-year soul ring.

Dai Yao sucked in a breath.

Not only could the Chaos Blue Lotus generate soul rings, it could also increase the age of previous rings, reaching the limit that his body could currently handle.

Increasing the age of a soul ring was only achievable through divine trials, receiving rewards from the gods.

If the Chaos Blue Lotus could continue increasing the age of soul rings, when his body could handle a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, it could not only generate hundred-thousand-year soul rings, but also upgrade his previous thousand-year and ten-thousand-year rings to hundred-thousand-year rings.

If he became a Title Douluo, the Chaos Blue Lotus could have an incredible nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Nine blood-red soul rings—such terrifying power!

But then Dai Yao thought of Tang San, who had undergone divine trials. His Haotian Hammer Martial Soul also had nine hundred-thousand-year rings, with the final Deep Sea Demon Whale ring even reaching a million years.

Thinking of this, Dai Yao's excitement diminished.

The first soul skill of the Chaos Blue Lotus was the Godslayer Spear—an extremely domineering ability that could disintegrate all things.

What would the second soul skill be?

Dai Yao wondered.

His thoughts flashed, and the second thousand-year soul ring lit up.

The blue lotus in his hand turned into small blue lights, scattering through the air.

Immediately, the blue light dots scattered and formed an illusory image of a blue lotus, enveloping Dai Yao.

Dai Yao gradually came to an understanding.

The second soul skill placed him in an invincible state, where no attack could break through the illusion's defense. Only when his soul power was exhausted could the enemy possibly harm him.

"Incredible!" Dai Yao exclaimed.

With this ability, as long as he still had soul power, no one would ever break his defense.

This skill was somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body, except that her Golden Body had time and usage limitations, while his second soul skill had no such concerns.

The Chaos Blue Lotus Martial Soul had both offensive and defensive soul skills—one was domineering, and the other was almost invincible.

The first soul skill, the Godslayer Spear, was extremely domineering, a rule-breaking attack that no ordinary attack could match.

The second soul skill was also extraordinary.

Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body already exceeded the scope of normal soul skills, but it had limits. Meanwhile, the second soul skill of the Chaos Blue Lotus offered an invincible state with no time restrictions.

Dai Yao tried to calm his turbulent emotions.

Now, with these two soul skills, he finally had some self-preservation ability.

He retracted his martial soul and looked around at the plants in the cave. He felt a little overwhelmed, so he decided to ignore them and returned to the waterfall to continue training his soul power.

He would wait for Zhu Zhuqing's return, and then they would leave the Star Luo Empire together.

Night

Dai Yao jumped out of the waterfall, returning to his wooden hut, ending his day of training.

He fetched water, boiled it, and prepared tea to quench his thirst. The smoke swirled in the air as he lifted his cup and drank the tea.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Dai Yao felt a sharp pain in his abdomen! He curled up in pain, drenched in cold sweat.

"The tea is poisoned!" he immediately recognized the cause.

"Someone is trying to kill me!"
