Although he didn't know the specifics of the situation, the occasional chilling aura emanating from the blue flames told Meng Shu that his grandson was in relatively good condition, so he could only wait quietly for this strange state to end.
It should be noted that Jiang Xuan was only level 29, while Meng Shu was level 89. The elemental energy of this martial soul could make him feel palpitations, so its power was unimaginable.
It's not that it would threaten him or anything, but rather it's more like a difference in innate quality.
Jiang Xuan knew his own situation best. After being unexpectedly rewarded by the system, the flames that erupted from the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame began to merge with his martial soul.
The terrifying flames from the Dou Qi world are naturally of a much higher level than those from the Douluo world. Even though Jiang Xuan's soul power is currently low, his energy level is still there, which is incomparable to ordinary flames.
"Fusion degree 30%...45%...68%..."
The fusion of his martial soul and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame continued. With his grandparents protecting him from the outside world, Jiang Xuan calmly focused on sensing the fire attribute origin of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
I don't know if it's because the Martial Soul itself is the unawakened Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in its fire seed form, or because of the system's intervention, but the fusion of the strange fire's origin with the Martial Soul itself went more smoothly than expected. There was no pain as anticipated, let alone the near-death experience that Comrade Xiao Huohuo had when he devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame on the Dou Qi Continent.
If Huo Huo knew, I wonder if he would come all the way from the Great Thousand Worlds to cause me trouble. After all, the strange fire can affect the air with low-level soul power, which makes even the level 89 Dragon Lord quite wary. Its terrifying nature needs no further explanation.
"Fusion~Absorption~Transformation!"
As if a special voice was guiding her, Qinglian's transformation was smooth and natural.
However, when the abundant fire-attribute energy of the strange fire source poured into his body, Jiang Xuan felt as if his body was about to explode. It wasn't because of any destructive force, but simply the feeling of water filling a cup to overflowing.
That's right. Compared to the powerful fire elemental energy, it is at most an insignificant little cup. Most of its energy is scattered between heaven and earth, while some is constantly trying to break through the level 30 barrier.
Soon, Jiang Xuan could feel that the level 30 soul power limit was opened almost without any obstacles.
No! It needs to be compressed again. Although a Soul Master won't grow higher without a Soul Ring, Jiang Xuan understands that the Azure Lotus Origin Fire gave him something like a second awakening of his Martial Soul. Without a Soul Ring, he can't increase his level by a large margin, but the energy will be stored and impact his body.
Blindly increasing one's soul power level will inevitably lead to a decrease in soul power control, which will affect further cultivation if one wants to advance further.
From the very beginning, when Jiang Xuan obtained this unreliable cheat system, he was mentally prepared; his goal was not merely to become a Title Douluo.
"Condense!"
Jiang Xuan's face became somewhat distorted. The enormous energy was not something he could fully control at his level, but if he allowed it to merge into his body, the increase in soul power level in a short period of time was definitely not what he wanted to see.
Level 1! Level 2! Level 3!
That's enough, that's enough, we can't add any more.
"Ding~ Martial Soul Fusion Complete, Fusion Achievement 99%!"
"Mission rewards have been distributed. The next check-in location is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire!"
Just when Jiang Xuan was about to give up, the damned fusion was finally completed. Too much energy the first time was troublesome.
Opening his eyes, ignoring the astonished gazes of those around him, Jiang Xuan lightly waved his right hand, causing the remaining pure energy around him to be completely absorbed by the blue lotus.
Unfortunately, neither Grandpa Long nor Grandma Long were fire-attribute soul masters, so the energy of the strange fire was entirely detrimental to them.
As for Shrek Academy, there is one person who can absorb this energy, Ma Hongjun, but given their current relationship, why should Jiang Xuan leave it to someone who might become an enemy?
The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has never had enough energy since its awakening, much like a certain sword saint who is never at full health.
"Hahaha, as expected of my precious grandson, level 30! He's actually reached level 30!" After Jiang Xuan finished his cultivation and checked his physical condition, Long Gong laughed loudly.
Shrek could naturally hear it too.
"Level 30?"
"Twelve years old!"
"My God, this can't be real, that person is the real monster."
What does level 30 at the age of twelve mean? In all the years of cultivation in Douluo Continent, we've almost never heard of such a thing (not counting Qian Renxue's innate level 20).
If someone else said this, people probably wouldn't believe it.
But now, the Dragon Lord's exaggerated laughter was so loud it seemed like it was going to overturn Shrek Academy, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
"So there really are people whose cultivation speed is comparable to that of a monster."
"Yes, but such a prodigy was actually turned away by our academy's teachers~"
"Was it really the right thing for Father to have us join this village academy?"
Hearing Long Gong's undisguised words, the students, who were already skeptical, started discussing it even more.
The Dragon God and Snake Goddess had no time to pay attention to Shrek. Once the flames had completely disappeared, the Snake Goddess immediately began to examine her beloved grandson with both her hands and feet.
"Is there anything seriously wrong with you? You dare to do something as important as awakening your martial spirit right here."
"It's alright, Grandma, I'm perfectly fine. I can't control my martial soul awakening anyway!"
"Hmph, it's nothing! I'll settle the score with you when we get back."
"What's wrong? You've learned to run away now? Are you satisfied now that you're in this snobbish academy?"
The old woman kept rambling on, showing concern for her grandson's health while also subtly mocking the crowd not far away.
Although the sound was soft, a high-level Soul Master could still hear it clearly.
Upon hearing this, what could Flander do? Words spoken are like water spilled; the rules were set by Flander. Could he really say that Li Yusong wasn't his Shrek teacher but just a temporary worker?
The few Shrek students who have already joined have raised questions, which is a difficult situation.
Why would a grandson of a legendary figure like yourself refuse the family's teachings and come to this run-down little academy? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass yourself?
Long Gong simply stood aside and quietly watched his wife. After observing her, he found that the brat's body was simply too good. Not only had his martial soul awakened for the second time, but his soul power had also broken through level 30.
Once he obtains his third spirit ring, he will be one of the youngest spirit masters on the entire continent. It's infuriating that such talent is called trash by a bunch of petty scoundrels.
Having spent so much time together, how could Jiang Xuan not know what his grandfather was thinking? A smile appeared on his lips, indicating that he would let Jiang Xuan handle it himself.
Lord Long raised an eyebrow and said flippantly, "You brat, we'll settle this score later!"
