Chapter 1175 - New Order (1) (1/2)

Just a few hours later, Lilith left the Master's Peak completely expressionless. Except for the cold glint in her dark eyes, it was impossible to tell anything else about her emotions.

As for Dyon, he didn't see her off. The only reason he forced Lilith to take her clothes off to begin with was to ensure that her mind was too distracted to think about the details of what was happening. After all, he didn't want the secret of the Soul Tome to leak.

Still, his Demon Sage's blood couldn't help but roar in agitation, causing the only sound in the room between them to be the fierce thrumming of his heart. It was even worse now that his yang qi had increased to inconceivable levels.

The experience of wanting to hate and ignore a beauty, but being completely unable to do so made Dyon even more determined to visit the Crystal Dragon Clan.

In the end, Dyon forcefully suppressed his d.e.s.i.r.es and coldly sent Lilith on her way. In return, he received the key and an answer to a question.

By his estimation, Lilith's soul was of the 7th stage. Not only that, she also had a high 2nd stage innate soul, only a single step below Clara.

Considering 3rd stage innate souls were only an anomaly afforded to those with innate auroras, something exceedingly rare except for within the Soul Rend Quadrant, Lilith represented the peak of what a ”normal” individual could achieve in terms of soul talent.

Of course, Clara also had an innate aurora, so her peak 2nd stage innate soul also improved to the 3rd stage after her manifestation was awakened, just like all other innate aurora wielders. It was only Dyon who innately had a 3rd stage innate soul that then improved to the 4th stage after his manifestation was awakened.

This was all to say that Lilith's soul was very talented, yet, it was of the 7th stage while Asyna's was already at the 8th. Plus, Asyna was almost two years younger than Lilith! It didn't make much sense…

Because of his curiosity, Dyon decided to directly ask Lilith about this, using the excuse that she had given her more trouble than the key was worth.

Maybe it was because she was stimulated by Dyon assuming Asyna was more talented than she was, or maybe she was still angered with Dyon to the point where she wanted to talk down to him, Lilith spoke more than Dyon expected her to.

It seemed that just like her energy cultivation, Lilith was purposely not breaking through.

However, that didn't explain why Asyna's cultivation was so high. So, Lilith continued to explain that the Mathilde family had its own special means of increasing soul cultivation, including their own personal collection of ancient trees.

Although Dyon wanted to ask more about the Mathilde family, it became very clear very quickly that Lilith had noticed the oddity in her behavior and thus decided to not speak anymore.
