She thought looking at Shen Yuan who was deep inside the sea.
…
BOOM!
A massive amount of water splashed outside of the ocean into the air, and Shen Yuan emerged from within.
“Haa…” He exhaled a long breath as Water Mist escaped his mouth. Raising his hand, he felt the surrounding Water Qi obeying him much more than before.
Water Qi jumped between his fingers as he willed the Qi to flow around him, “Good, first level of Water Intent.” He smiled, feeling his control over the Water element increase.
[Congrats, you finally have Water Intent. Though be careful, it might not be that easy to have it.]
Yue Lan’s mischievous voice sounded in his mind. And before he even had time to understand what she meant by that, his fire intent flared inside of him.
Whoosh!
Taking Shen Yuan as the center, it evaporated the water in around 100 meters of him, but just then his Water Intent seemed to feel challenged as it surged alongside the fire intent.
Pushing the heat from one side back inside of him, Shen Yuan’s face darkened from the clash of elements as the two intents fought for dominance.
But the Fire Intent soon increased its intensity due to its higher level, pushing Water Intent back.
Shen Yuan clenched his fist as his Primal Harmony Physique activated. A silence descended in the fiery surroundings as if the world had paused. Then a gentle halo descended on his body, calming both the Water and Fire intent.
Both of the intents receded back inside Shen Yuan’s body, and the surroundings turned silent.
“Haa…haa…” Shen Yuan panted while feeling the effects of the clashing elements, “What the hell happened? Why did my elements clash? This has never happened before?”
He threw a barrage of questions at Yue Lan, wanting to know exactly what had happened.
[Hehe, that’s because of the extreme nature of the two elements, Fire and Water are two extremes. There is a higher chance of someone being born with Space talent than Fire-Water dual talent. And all those who have this talent have a special physique or bloodline to balance it.]
She patiently explained.
Shen Yuan took a moment to process his thoughts, ‘No wonder my Physique balanced them.’
Looking around, he saw that the water was rapidly coming back, raising his head, he saw that he wasn’t much below the surface of the water. “Did I float upwards while cultivating?” He asked in confusion before plunging back into the water.
[The water is unpredictable, it can take you everywhere and nowhere.]
Shen Yuan shook his head, “Stop acting like an old monster trying her best to act mysterious. Anyways, now that I have learned the first level of Water Intent, I should continue it.”
[You might want to check your Water Dantian cultivation base.]
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow and checked inside his body to see his current cultivation base. “The fuck, fourth level of the Extreme Origin Core Realm?”
He said aloud in surprise as he knew he wasn’t actively cultivating. All this happened through passive cultivation.
[All the best to learning intents~]
She cheerfully said.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath, “This makes things easier, I can just forget about it and let it raise itself slowly to the peak while I comprehend Intents.”
He closed his eyes and focused back on learning intent.
…
While he was learning intents, the fire and water elements would clash from time to time. Yue Lan later told him that he would need to keep both elements at the same level if he wanted to control them fully.
So he took her advice to heart and tried his best to level up his Water intent to the same level as the Fire intent during this seclusion.
…
After nearly two months had passed, Shen Yuan shot out of the water like a meteor, creating waves across the giant sea.
“Haha, finally comprehended fourth level!” He excitedly spoke while controlling the sea to his will.
[Finally, you can start the real test now.]
Yue Lan’s reminder quickly brought him back to reality. “Uh yeah, I need to learn the Yin intent not only the water intent. Anyways, how long has it been?” he asked while drying his clothes with his fire intent.
[Been about two months. You really comprehended the fourth level of an intent in a mere two months. Looks like your comprehension ability is increasing much faster than the average as well.]
Shen Yuan smirked, “Of course, why wouldn’t it? Anyway I should get back to big sis. She might kill me for leaving her alone for two months here.”
[Oh don’t worry about that. I tweaked with her room’s time a little. Only around a day has passed for her.]
Shen Yuan’s eyes lit up as he exhaled a sigh of relief, “That’s good, phew, you really saved me.”
[Oh yeah, you should try to comprehend the Yin Intent while dual cultivating with her. Both her Yin and Bloodline will help you greatly in comprehending Yin’s intent.]
Shen Yuan paused and thought about it, “I can try that again. Last time there were little to no gains. Maybe it will be different this time.”
A snap sounded in the surroundings as a portal formed in front of him. Shen Yuan walked towards it before stepping inside.
…
Walking out of the portal, the first thing he saw was the sleeping body of Bing Rong. ‘Huh? Why is she still sleeping? Shouldn’t she be up by now?’
He worriedly asked Yue Lan.
[Don’t worry, I just told her to sleep until you are back otherwise you will feel bad. So she is just sleeping, hehe.]
Shen Yuan helplessly shook his head and went ahead to wake her up. Reaching the bed, he slowly sat down beside her and caressed her face.
Bing Rong’s eyes fluttered open as she looked at Shen Yuan. “Yuan’er…how did your training go?” She asked in a soft tone.
Shen Yuan smiled gently and lowered his head to give her a kiss on her forehead, “It went well, I managed to learn Water Intent.”
Bing Rong’s eyes flashed with surprise, “So fast? It should have only been two months and you managed to comprehend the Water intent?”
Shen Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he heard her words. “Well yes, I managed to comprehend the Water Intent in two months.” He decided to not share the exact timeframe he took to comprehend lest she began to question herself if she is a genius or not.
Bing Rong proudly nodded her head, “Good, that’s my younger brother, always exceptional. If others find out your absurd speed of comprehending Water Intent then they will be shocked and speechless.”
Shen Yuan slipped inside her blanket and hugged her, “Who cares about others? I only want you and the rest of my family to be proud of me.”
Bing Rong reached his face with her hands, gently caressing her cheeks, she smiled proudly, “Yuan’er… I, no we are proud of what you have done. All of us think this way.”
Shen Yuan smiled gently and placed his hand on top of her hand, “I know, and that’s why I push myself. Anyway enough about this. Do you want to listen to another interesting story?”
