Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 40: Two types of energy

Nana said, “I’ll think of a way. Let me concentrate for a moment.” As she spoke, she sat cross-legged in front of Lan Xuanyu. She carried him into her embrace and she pressed her right hand on his chest. She separated the two forces and she felt the changes inside of him at the same time.

Nan Cheng’s tears came streaming down, she didn’t expect that this would happen at all. She didn’t blame Nana for the pressure she applied on him which caused the mutation, she understood that this was not her fault. Xuanyu was different, he was born from an egg!

The golden patterned Blue Silver Grass would be awakened someday and they were lucky that a Titled Douluo was here right now. If she was alone at home, she really would not know what to do.

Lan Xuanyu entered that unusual dream where he saw that many spots of lights once again. One of the lights was separated and the soft golden glow entered his body.

The golden and silver lights appeared to be clashing against one another and both were trying to drive the other party out. In the dark, there was also an invisible force trying to prevent them from driving each other out or even to collide.

Gradually, that invisible force began to spin and it pulled both the golden and silver forces along with it. It spun so rapidly and made those two rays of light become threads until it was no longer clearly separated like before.

The strands of golden and silver rays of lights spun faster and faster until one of its finest parts began to make a slight contact

When they came into contact, they immediately bounced apart like they had an electric shock but they knocked against one another again very soon.

Both of them wanted to engulf the other or at least drive them away but both forces were very similar and nobody could completely do what they wanted to do.

Gradually, those golden and silver strands began to wrap around each other like a braid as they were being entangled. It started with a small strand until the process became smoother. They continued to spin and were intertwined to the point that they made no distinction from one another. They had been blended and at the same time, no one was able to engulf the other.

He wasn’t sure about how much time had gone by but through his keen observation, he was able to see the golden and silver strands turn into a tiny duo-colored vortex that circled around him until it was stabilized.

Nana opened her eyes and she retracted her right hand from his chest as she carried Lan Xuanyu up gently.

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were observing from the side and there was lethargy in their eyes.

Three days had gone by since that day. Only now did the golden and silver lines on Lan Xuanyu’s face finally disappeared.

Nan Cheng wanted to question her but she was pulled back by Lan Xiao. He could tell that Lan Xuanyu’s breathing was now stable and he’s now far from danger.

Nana carried Little Xuanyu back into his own room and carefully placed him on the bed. She placed a blanket over him before she walked out quietly.

When she closed the room door, Nan Cheng eagerly asked, “Esteemed One, Xuanyu, he…”

Nana’s brows remained knitted. “I need to tell you guys about Xuanyu’s condition, it’s very unique.”

“Tell us, please.” Lan Xiao pulled Nan Cheng back and brought Nana to the sofa in the living room.

“There seem to be two different types of energy in Xuanyu’s body. You guys also saw that one of them is golden and the other is silver. The forces of these two energies are very strong and are almost of the same strength. Also, they are both very stubborn. I’m not sure why but I felt a connection with these two energies and this might be the reason why I liked Xuanyu and came back here with him.”

“If there was only one energy inside Xuanyu, then it’ll help him greatly. It’ll allow him to be able to build his strength quickly to become a strong Spirit Master. However, both energies are in his body and it made it counterproductive instead. If those energies were to be activated, they would fight for control over his body. They don’t possess any form of consciousness and it will be dangerous for Xuanyu if they were to fight since his body can’t handle it.”

“I tried controlling these two types of energy and made them fine by weaving them together. Their strengths would not be as strong and with the spinning method, they wouldn’t come into contact with one another since there will still be a slight distance between them. They now have achieved a degree of equilibrium and that stabilized his situation.”

As Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng listened to the process, they were shocked and felt somewhat helpless too because they didn’t understand anything as if what she said belongs to another world.

“This isn’t the only problem right now. They will still be released in the future as his rank increases because these two types of energy exist in his blood, he must cultivate himself no matter what. When he reaches a certain age, the growth of his blood vessels would cause it to be released. When that happens and if it can’t be effectively channeled, the danger would appear again and it might even be more intense,” Nana continued.

Lan Xiao then cried out, “What should we do, then?”

“I tried it just now and these two types of energy seemed to be able to merge in a certain state. It is very challenging and it would need a long time too. I’ve helped him to entangle them in his body through a spinning method and I made sure that its surface area of contact would be as small a possible. He’ll be fine if he were to be able to control the fusion of these two types of energy. I think I know how to do that but I can’t seem to recall anything,” Nana said.

Nan Cheng wanted to speak but Lan Xiao held her back. He then looked at Nana and said, “Esteemed One, will Xuanyu still be in danger if you’re around?”

Nana then replied, “Not at the moment and both of you don’t have to worry too much. This would only appear when he has a big breakthrough and the conflict between these two types of energy would cause his rate of cultivation to be slower so everything should be under control for now. As for whether or not these two types of energy can get along, we’ll have to see when he reaches the 20th rank. Some directions or clues may appear and it might even be resolved when his first spirit core appears.

Spirit Core? Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao obviously knew what that was. It was a synonym for a high level Spirit Master. In general, the solidification would only succeed when one reaches the realm of seven Spirit Rings. As the core of one’s Spirit Power, it would get rid of the old to bring in the new and it would allow the Spirit Master’s combat strength to increase substantially.

Nan Cheng was already at her sixth ring and the next step should form her Spirit Core but right now, it was still not within the foreseeable future since she didn’t feel it at all. Hence, if it’s still not formed before she turned 40, she would never have the Spirit Core in her lifetime.

Lan Xiao then said, “What can we do now to help him?”

“Strengthen his body especially his meridians. If his body is strong enough, he would be more resilient even when there is danger and we would have more time to deal with it,” Nana replied

Lan Xiao knitted his brows. “Training would be able to strengthen his body but his meridians…”

Nana then said, “I’ll think of something. Actually, he is quite strong internally. Although it would be dangerous when those two types of energy jostle against one another, they are actually nourishing his body at the same time especially that golden energy since it is increasing the strength of his body. Don’t worry, I will guide him every day and help his body become stronger quickly.”
