"I wonder what this 'Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire' refers to?"
Just as Dugu Bo was about to ask a question, he noticed that Jiang Xuan beside him suddenly closed his eyes and his body involuntarily flew towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring they had just arrived at.
Long Gong and Dugu Bo tried to stop him, but they only saw azure flames surge forth from Jiang Xuan's body, causing the temperature of the world to skyrocket. The poisonous gas that had been surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well melted away rapidly, like ice meeting boiling oil...
"Ding, the check-in task for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been completed. The primordial fire of the Douluo World has been detected and is being absorbed..."
"Azure Lotus Core Flame Awakening Level 100%"
"Xuan'er!"
Seeing the sky filled with blue flames engulfing the boy and sinking him into the red spring, the Dragon Lord's eyes widened in fury as he shouted and rushed in to pull him out.
Fortunately, Dugu Bo reacted quickly and grabbed him, saying, "Are you out of your mind?"
"No, the intensity of this flame is definitely not caused by Xuan'er's martial soul. It must be that the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has caused some problem."
"Your Majesty Dugu, I cannot stand idly by while my grandson's life hangs in the balance."
"Don't be impatient. Carefully sense that kid's life energy. It's very stable, so he should be fine!"
The flames that suddenly erupted from Jiang's body were indeed terrifying; the intense heat even made Dugu Bo himself feel uneasy.
The two were startled by the sudden burst of flames, and the Dragon Lord, in his anxiety, lost his composure.
After being told what Dugu Bo said and carefully considering the situation, Meng Shu finally calmed down after a long while and apologized to Dugu Bo, saying, "Your Majesty was rude."
"The main thing is that Xuan'er has never experienced such a situation since her martial soul awakening, including her previous second awakening. Your Majesty, please don't mind."
"I also have a granddaughter, so I can understand."
Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo didn't blame him much. He was just a little puzzled and asked, "You two, since I saw this secret, you should tell me about it."
"Could the Heavenly Spirit Fire that Jiang boy is talking about be his Martial Soul?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that's roughly the case."
"Your Majesty, please don't be surprised. This old man really doesn't know much about his grandson's martial spirit. I was planning to make a trip to the Spirit Hall after this is over with you."
After calming himself down, the two of them started talking about the boy in the spring.
...
The blue flames outside the Yin-Yang Well were still flickering. Although the owner of the flames was in the spring, the flames burned across the sky around the spring, as if preventing anyone from getting close to this place.
The white clouds in the sky were all rendered in a bluish-green hue.
Chao Tianxiang, who was far away in the small house, frowned as she looked at the green light in the distance. If she didn't need to take care of Dugu Yan, she wouldn't be able to sit here and just watch.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan, whom everyone outside was worried about, was in much better shape than usual.
Although the fire and ice elemental energies within the Yin-Yang Well are extremely volatile, they pale in comparison to magma.
It should be noted that the Azure Lotus Core Flame is a spiritual fire of heaven and earth born from magma. Jiang Xuan, being enveloped by the Azure Lotus Core Flame, was naturally unharmed and was able to fully absorb the elemental energy in the spring water.
It wasn't him absorbing it; it was more like the living Green Lotus absorbing it. Even though it was a martial soul that belonged to him 100%, the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame gave him the feeling of having an independent life, just like Luo Sanpao, who had mutated from Yu Xiaogang.
In fact, Jiang Xuan had always been puzzled as to why his martial soul was able to awaken the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. According to the world level, it was absolutely impossible to awaken a spiritual object like a strange flame that could influence the Douluo world.
After sensing the Azure Lotus greedily absorbing the fire-attribute energy left behind by the Fire Dragon King's death in the spring, Jiang Xuan seemed to understand something.
It's no exaggeration to say that my martial soul is a spark over the years, even now that the system notes my awakened state of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame martial soul.
As if it had lost its origin, it was only with the primal fire rewarded by the system that it could slowly regain its original appearance.
That makes sense. If I had to say that my martial soul was the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, then its power would probably be comparable to a minor flame.
Even a single spark of fire possessed a power that Dai Mubai, a Soul Venerable, could not match.
Jiang Xuan had also sensed the power that the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame had unleashed the moment it was attracted by the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. The temperature that could make a Title Douluo tremble at his level 30 soul power level must be the inherent ability of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
Jiang Xuan closed his eyes, a strange expression on his face.
It seems that my current state is very similar to that of Comrade Yu Xiaogang. His martial soul is also of the highest level. His Luo Sanpao is a golden holy dragon, but it cannot change normally because the master's innate soul power is too low.
If one had to describe the Azure Lotus absorbing fire-attribute energy at this moment, it could be seen as a newly born flame in the world of Dou Qi.
Only through continuous personal growth can one perfectly unleash the power of the Azure Lotus's strange fire.
We have the quality now, but there's a serious lack of quantity, right?
Jiang Xuan's consciousness continued to extend downwards, trying to see if he could communicate with the residual consciousness of the Ice and Fire Dragon King hidden beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
...
"No, there's no response."
The surrounding fire-attribute energy can no longer be absorbed, and Grandpa Longgong needs to use the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye to purify his martial soul.
After sensing the Martial Soul, I estimate that the current amount is enough for Qinglian's growth for the time being, and there won't be another instance of losing control like before.
The fact that Dugu Bo was able to stop Long Gong at the moment Qinglian went berserk shows that he is a person worth getting to know better.
After absorbing the energy, Jiang Xuan didn't linger any longer. He used the abundant fire-attribute energy to create a vortex of flames, which sent him flying out.
"Whoosh!!!"
"You brat, you've finally decided to come out."
Finally, after the two had been eagerly waiting, the person who had been "soaking" in the spring water finally decided to come out of seclusion.
"These two elderly people are here silently; let's see how they plan to compensate us."
Dugu Bo said jokingly, "If there were any doubts about Jiang's third strategy before, seeing the energy commotion of a sky full of green flames created by a kid who is not even a complete Soul Venerable, I can't help but be tempted."
"The flames are completely different?"
Before he could reply to the two elders standing outside the spring, Jiang Xuan was filled with disbelief as he felt the changes in his body.
Jiang Xuan whispered, "Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, possess me!"
With two conspicuous yellow spirit rings beneath him, a scorching blue wave emanated from his body, and a blue lotus flower swayed out.
Jiang Xuan carefully sensed the changes in his body.
"The quality of the flames in my martial spirit has improved too much, and I'm having trouble controlling it."
If Qinglian was in her sub-flame state when she fought Dai Mubai earlier, then Qinglian has now awakened her true form, with flames reigning supreme.
The only thing lacking is the energy; it's not enough to allow the Azure Lotus to unleash its full power.
