Lan Xuanyu turned to look at her and ask, “Teacher Nana, what’s good?”

Nana laughed. “Your current situation is extremely good, far better than what I had anticipated. In fact, at present, there will be no danger for you if you break through to the 20th rank by yourself.”

“Ah?” Lan Xuanyu looked at her in confusion.

Nana went on, “Your presence feels extremely familiar to me; it’s as though you’re similar to me. That must be why I felt a connection between us the first time I saw you.”

Lan Xuanyu giggled. “Is it because I’m too good looking? Teacher Nana, I feel connected to you too.”

Nana smiled. “Naughty child, you’re not allowed to anger others with this mouth of yours in the future! I’ve never seen Qianqiu so angry before. But anyway, back to official business.”

“It was, in fact, very dangerous when you initially awoke your bloodline. Ordinary people typically only have one type of bloodline: an ordinary human bloodline or one that holds a Martial Soul. Martial Souls contain unique auras, thus leading to variations in the bloodline. Naturally, there are both bad and good bloodlines. But most of the variant bloodline mutations always end up being better, as they provide even stronger power and internal support for the Soul Master. This is unlike a variant Martial Soul, which can cause a strong Martial Soul to turn weak.”

“However, your situation is completely different from others’ because there exists not only one type of bloodline in your body but two. The two bloodlines are aligned to the two different Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls that you have. Naturally speaking, these two types of bloodlines are incompatible as they are completely different in terms of their classification system. One of them is extremely affable and is more of an elemental system, while the other is more of pure power. So if only one awakens, it will bring about immense help to you. But if both awaken, there will be trouble for you. As they are mutually incompatible, they will constantly collide. If one goes bad, it can cripple your meridians, light injuries will turn serious, and so will the chances of being crippled or unable to cultivate. Any severe injury can take your life away.”

“Thus, when I first discovered your situation, I became extremely anxious. After thinking about it, I decided to employ a spiral technique to prevent the two bloodlines from ever colliding. In their spiraling process, they will maintain a certain distance from each other. They will never completely touch, thereby achieving the retardation of your bloodlines in colliding. But they will occasionally come into slight contact in attempts to merge them.”

“This is a hidden danger that will forever stay concealed in your body. Once you break through, your bloodlines will become stronger, and when they get stronger, there is a possibility of danger. That is why I wanted to be present when you break through to rank 20. To protect you, I will increase the power of the spiral and prevent them from colliding.”

“But I never thought that the power within your body would be so unique. When you used the unique Martial Soul fusion technique, the two energies seemed to have fused under the guidance of another unique force, which caused the powerful eruption to occur. Of course, you are unable to control this power. But during the process of their fusion, the two bloodlines have truly mixed and formed the little multi-colored dot in the core of the gold and silver vortex.”

“Because of this, the power of a third bloodline has appeared in your body.”

“Third bloodline?” Lan Xuanyu looked at Nana in shock. “If two are already a problem and dangerous, then three will be...”

Nana waved her hand. “No. That is not how it should be comprehended. The third bloodline is a fusion of the two former bloodlines. It is because of the third bloodline’s existence that your body is creating a method to mix the two contrasting powers. Every time you use the Martial Soul fusion technique, you are, in fact, mixing the power of the two bloodlines. After every mix, they will naturally become more and more compatible.”

“That is why I mentioned that your three years of cultivation have yielded good results. Although your third bloodline is still weak, even after using your Martial Soul fusion technique and mixing the two bloodlines multiple times, it has stabilized. With it, the two bloodlines will not clash excessively. If I’m not sensing wrongly, given enough time and cultivation, your two bloodlines will merge into one after multiple uses of your Martial Soul Fusion technique. That also means that when your third bloodline is strong enough, it will incorporate the power of both bloodlines into one and allow you only to yield the third bloodline’s power, which will be a mighty force. So much so that even I feel that it is a power that I would submit to.”

“Ah? It will be so powerful?” Lan Xuanyu had personally witnessed Nana’s strength. At that moment, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind. Who is the stronger one, is it Teacher Nana, or Uncle Young Noble Le? It should be Uncle Young Noble Le, right? He was able to destroy a warship in space with his bare hands!

Nana nodded her head. “It should be potent. But the process will take a very long time. You should be able to sense that the third bloodline is currently very weak. There is no other way to stimulate its growth except for you to utilize your Martial Soul fusion technique continuously. Furthermore, I have just inspected your body and come to a small conclusion. In the future, if you can use the Martial Soul fusion technique to mix the power of the gold and silver bloodlines 10 times for every 10 ranks, your breakthrough should have no danger.”

Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes wide. “You mean to say that for every increase of 10 ranks in Soul Power, I actually need to cultivate 20 ranks? But that, that means my cultivation will become slower and slower!”

He already felt that the rise in his Soul Power was slow, but if he had to cultivate twice as much as the others...

Nana smiled. “You can’t chop firewood without honing the blade! Rest easy, your efforts won’t go to waste. Furthermore, when you recultivate, it will be faster than actual cultivation. So when you’re at rank 20, it will most probably take the time for the cultivation of 15 ranks. If you listen to your teacher, there might be some unexpected benefits in the future.”

Lan Xuanyu did not hear the last bit as his face was downcast with disappointment. He was already lagging behind by almost 10 ranks as compared to his peers in the elite junior class. If he had to cultivate twice from rank 20 to rank 30, it would be equivalent to his peers sprinting to rank 50 when he was only at rank 30. ‘Won’t that mean I won’t be able to reach three Soul Rings within five years?’

“Don’t be disheartened, good preparation is the key to success. When you reach a critical point in the future, you’ll be able to soar up into the sky,” Nana consoled him.

A hint of hope appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s eyes. “How long will that take, Teacher Nana?”

Nana responded, “I’m not too sure either. Maybe a hundred years, or maybe 200 or 300 years.”

Lan Xuanyu stared at her in shock. “So, so long? I’ll be dying of old age then!”

Nana shook her head. “You won’t. Your third bloodline seems to have characteristics of wielding immense lifeforce. Your lifespan will definitely exceed that of ordinary humans.”

Lan Xuanyu frowned, not a trace of happiness could be seen on his face. How could that be! After seeing how powerful Young Noble Le was, an unprecedented impatience and longing for the rise of his strength had been birthed.

Nana smiled. “You cannot be impatient and hasty with cultivation. Securing a strong foundation is far better than being excessively enthusiastic. Alright? So calm yourself down. Aren’t you curious as to what your second Soul Ring will bring? Then let us begin.”

“Alright!” Upon hearing that he was about to gain his second ring, Lan Xuanyu’s disappointment was swept clean. Regardless, he had to enter the realm of two Soul Rings first. He was extremely excited about it, everything that would come with his second Soul Ring, and wondered, would the Soul Ring appear instantly? Or would he have to find a Spirit Soul to merge with as well?
