Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes, a smile flashing within them. He felt the surging spirit power within his body, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
"I… succeeded…!"
At this moment, Fang Yang had broken through the Rank 10 Bottleneck, officially becoming a true one-ring Spirit Master.
Even more surprising was that his spirit power had directly reached Rank 15!
Fang Yang jumped off the bed. He raised his right hand, and with a slight thought, the dimly lit room instantly brightened.
A purple spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet, climbing upwards, then rhythmically pulsating around his body.
This was the unique spirit ring of a Spirit Master. A purple spirit ring represented a thousand-year Soul Spirit.
On Douluo Continent, the Rank of a Soul Spirit determined a Spirit Master's potential.
White represented ten years, yellow a hundred years, purple a thousand years, black ten thousand years, and the legendary red was the symbol of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Spirit!
Ten thousand years ago, when there were no Soul Spirits, the most representative characteristic of a Spirit Master was their spirit ring.
Ten thousand years ago, when there were no Soul Spirits, spirit rings were the most distinct symbol of a Spirit Master. Now, spirit rings and Soul Spirits complemented each other, establishing a Spirit Master's identity and status.
"Let's try the first Spirit Ability…"
Fang Yang opened his palm, and a deep yellow flame suddenly surged forth.
Then, the center of the flame continuously condensed, eventually forming a budding Fire Lotus.
Lava-like patterns flowed on the lotus petals, and the terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort, as if even space was subtly trembling.
This was precisely the first Spirit Ability granted by his thousand-year Soul Spirit: "Fire Lotus Burst!"
It compressed extreme flames into a lotus, which exploded upon touching a target, with a 5-meter radius and a scorching effect.
Fang Yang looked at the fire pearl in his hand and suddenly thought of that legendary existence.
That Peak powerhouse who traversed the Continent with fire pearls.
His current fire pearl was still far from that person's methods, but if he could devour several fire pearls in the future, perhaps he could surpass him…
Of course, it wasn't certain; he didn't even know what Realm that person had reached now.
However, thinking of this, a profound smile appeared on his lips: "Interesting, art is Patrick Star."
A moment later, Fang Yang, relying on his control over the fire pearl, had a thought.
The Fire Lotus slowly dissipated in his palm.
After all, this was in his own room. If he accidentally detonated it, his mother Lin Ximeng would surely pull his ear off.
Fang Yang pushed open the door and walked out. The scent of food wafted from the living room.
Na'er was already seated at the dining table. Seeing him come out, a hint of joy flashed in her amethyst-like eyes.
"Yang, come and eat, we're just waiting for you," Mother Lin Ximeng called out gently.
Fang Yang took three steps in two to reach the dining table. Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, his stomach uncooperatively rumbled.
He eagerly picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat with Na'er.
After dinner, warm light spilled into the living room. The family sat around on the soft sofa, and the soul-guided television was playing an interesting show.
"By the way, Yang, what's your first Spirit Ability? The Spirit Ability brought by fusing with a thousand-year Soul Spirit shouldn't be bad, right?"
Mother Lin Ximeng asked softly, her gentle gaze falling on Fang Yang.
Na'er also looked over, curious light sparkling in her purple eyes.
"The name of the first Spirit Ability is Fire Lotus Burst. It compresses extreme flames into a lotus shape, exploding upon touching a target, with a 5-meter radius and a scorching effect."
Fang Yang said slowly, a smile on his face.
The next moment, a dazzling purple spirit ring slowly rose from beneath his feet, spirit power surging.
He spread his palm, and a deep yellow flame suddenly surged forth.
Then, the center of the flame continuously condensed, eventually forming a budding Fire Lotus.
Lava-like patterns flowed on the lotus petals, and the terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort, as if even space was subtly trembling.
The first Spirit Ability, "Fire Lotus Burst," was a simplified version of the Flame Emperor's famous ultimate skill, "Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus."
As for the explosive power of Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, there's no need to say more! The Spirit Hall members who tasted it all said it was good.
Spirit Hall: "For my peanuts!"
When Na'er saw Fang Yang's Spirit Ability, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and waves stirred in her heart.
"Is this that terrifying flame…?"
Mother Lin Ximeng looked at the pulsating Fire Lotus in Fang Yang's hand, a look of both relief and worry on her face: "Yang, your first Spirit Ability is very strong, but Mama is worried…"
"Don't worry, Mom!" Fang Yang put away his Spirit Ability, and the Fire Lotus turned into specks of fire and dissipated into the air.
"With my current strength, there's no one among my peers who can fight me."
However, he silently added in his heart: "Of course, Tang Wulin is an exception. After all, he is the protagonist, unless I can find a way to strip the Golden Dragon King Bloodline from his body…"
"Silly child, Mama isn't worried that you can't beat others, but that you might accidentally injure your classmates without knowing the severity," Lin Ximeng shook her head helplessly.
Fang Yang promised: "Mom, don't worry, I'll be a bit more low-key at school and won't use this Spirit Ability casually."
"I hope so," Lin Ximeng sighed softly, her eyes still holding a hint of worry.
At this moment, Fang Yang's thoughts had drifted elsewhere.
The idea of seizing Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline, once conceived, lingered in his mind.
"Fellow Daoist Tang Wulin, I'm sorry, but let me become a Venerable first and then lead others to become Venerables."
However, he calculated in his heart: "Na'er is still by my side. It's too risky to act against Tang Wulin now."
Na'er, as a Clone of the Silver Dragon King, what if she was affected…
One must know that the current Plane Lords were Tang Hao and the Life Core Tang Yin.
He dared not gamble, as the saying goes, better safe than sorry!
"It's better to wait until Na'er leaves before looking for an opportunity to act against Tang Wulin," Fang Yang thought to himself.
As for the threat of the super Divine Artifact Sea God Trident?
Fang Yang's lips curled into a cold sneer. He possessed the supreme treasure fire pearl and did not take it to heart.
Did you think Tang San was some incredible powerful being? Just a Divine Sense, Fang Yang would grab and refine it in an instant!
Of course, if Tang San truly returned from the wandering God Realm, that would be another matter…
However, when Fang Yang recalled the scene when he was detected with 101 points of Ling Tong Realm at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
As soon as Su Tao's words fell, he keenly sensed the fleeting killing intent on Na'er's body.
But it wasn't directed at him, but at Su Tao…
At that moment, Fang Yang understood everything.
However, deep down, Fang Yang was still deceiving himself, unwilling to admit the fact that Na'er had long since recovered her memories.
He still pretended that the innocent Na'er was by his side.
"Forget it, it's too early to think about these things now. For now, let's take it one step at a time," Fang Yang shook his head to himself.
