They only accepted 30 people every year! How many young Soul Masters of age were there in the entire Federation? Getting into Shrek Academy could only be described to be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Among the students that came from Heaven Luo planet, Ji Hongbin felt that the one with the certainty to pass was Bing Tianliang. As for the others…
He did not continue on this because he did not want to dampen their enthusiasm. In his eyes, Bing Tianliang’s plan to collaborate with Lan Xuanyu to carry his teammates and his childhood sweetheart Liang Shushi into Shrek Academy was just a pipe dream and extremely childish. How can Shrek be so easily entered?
Ji Hongbin walked over to his bed and sat down. Even at his cultivation, it was impossible to remain indifferent in the midst of such dense life energy. I’ll absorb as much as I can for the few days that I’ll be here. It would prove beneficial to him when breaking through into the nine-ring Title Douluo.
Lan Xuanyu had never experienced being so carefree while cultivating. Without the impediment from the gold and silver vortex, it could be said that his cultivation was like fish swimming in water. At the beginning, it was not considerably fast. But as even more life energy continued to pour in, his bloodline vortex gradually became full. Naturally, the surplus of life energy merged into his Soul Power, increasing the speed at which the Mysterious Heaven Skill revolved around his body by countless times.
His bloodline aura reciprocated as the gold and silver vortex’s light became even stronger, causing Lan Xuanyu’s entire body to burn up. This imperceptible influence gradually produced minute changes.
His brain became even faster as his spiritual power continuously fluctuated and started to expand. His body received the bloodline power’s reciprocation as well. Whether it be his bones, meridians, or internal organs, everything within him was being affected by the power of his bloodline.
The perfect description for Lan Xuanyu’s current state was metamorphosing. He was like a well-formed canal that never had sufficient water and thus had difficulty in conducting irrigation. At this moment, an immeasurable amount of clear water had poured in and filled up the canal, starting the irrigation process.
After an unknown period of time, Lan Xuanyu’s skeleton suddenly produced a series of crackling sounds. When an indescribable, thriving aura burst out from his body, his entire form seemed to increase in height as faint gold and silver veins appeared silently on his skin.
Opposite him, an astonished Ji Hongbin suddenly opened his eyes and quickly raised his hands, enveloping the entire room with a gentle Soul Power. He had to do it as they were in Shrek Academy. The sudden changes in Lan Xuanyu’s body—especially the undulations from the bloodline aura that he was uncertain about—could have caught the attention of too many powerhouses in the area.
He had the responsibility of concealing all of his students’ secrets before the semi-finals. Never did he think that Lan Xuanyu’s body would actually undergo such an evolution with the stimulation of life energy.
The protection barrier enveloped the entire room. Only then did he focus on Lan Xuanyu.
At this moment, the aura outburst ripped apart the upper half of Lan Xuanyu’s uniform, revealing his rugged body.
Although he was only 12 and not yet an adult, the contour of his muscles were distinct. At the same time, the skin on his left arm was completely covered by silver veined patterns, while his right arm was completely covered in gold veined patterns. Both different-colored veins stretched to his chest and converged together, forming a faintly discernible gold and silver vortex.
The vortex became even more distinct as though it was boring out of his body.
The bloodline aura released by Lan Xuanyu’s body was also constantly evolving; it would suddenly be berserk or suddenly be filled with an indescribable noble might. These two sensations interchanged—complementing each other, colliding against each other—causing Lan Xuanyu’s expression to fluctuate as well.
Ji Hongbin frowned because he knew that he could not intercede at such a timing. This was because he had no clue as to what bloodline Lan Xuanyu had.
Bloodlines in the human body are still an unsolved mystery in current science development. Because even if a son inherited his father’s bloodline, the bloodline would still differ in a few aspects due to external and hereditary factors, so much so that they would become different. Mutation could be found anywhere. There were some that turned weaker, some that turned stronger.
So in some sense, it could be said that there were no two human bloodlines that were alike in all the Soul Masters of the Federation.
Under such a situation, who would dare help another person handle their bloodline? Soul Power could be helped but not bloodline. Only the peak healing Soul Masters could rely on pure life energy to provide some assistance.
There was no doubt that the changes in Lan Xuanyu’s body was due to him absorbing too much pure life energy. By the looks of it, it did not seem to be completely safe!
Ji Hongbin’s frown became deeper as he started to regret. I should have allowed Lan Xuanyu to adjust himself more before attempting to absorb and cultivate. Who would have thought that the reaction from his body would be so intense?
How could he know if even Lan Xuanyu did not know what was happening to him? He only felt that after revolving the Soul Power in his body to its peak, the gold and silver vortex had revolved at a rapid rate that he could no longer control, and the power of the bloodline released by the vortex had filled up every corner of his body.
Something in his body seemed to shatter as his four limbs—including his meridians, bones, and internal organs—started to absorb the power of the bloodline into all nooks and crannies.
And at this time, a problem occurred.
When his bloodline awakened back then, he had encountered the huge problem of both bloodlines being in conflict. If not for Teacher Nana’s help, he would have exploded.
Currently, his bones, meridians, and internal organs were absorbing the two energies, but the process in which the energies were being absorbed did not result in an automatic harmonious blend! So, signs of collision started appearing.
Lan Xuanyu felt as though his entire body was about to break down through the unspeakable pain. Every part of his body felt like it was going to break down.
Ji Hongbin quickly recognized the issue. Blood had started to seep out from all of Lan Xuanyu’s pores, and his body had started trembling incessantly. The gold and silver vortex veins on his chest started to become clearer and gradually moved to the center.
If Lan Xuanyu was able to speak now, the only thing he wanted to do would be to scream for help. He was no longer able to control it. He was helpless even with his 500 points of Spiritual Power and could only watch as everything happened.
All his meridians had apparently shattered, and even his internal organs showed signs of breaking down. The smears of blood on his skin only revealed a minute portion of what was truly happening, and it was because of his tough skin that had automatically locked everything in and prevented all the meridians from spilling even more blood. However, his entire body had started to swell.
Ji Hongbin was also as anxious as an ant on a boiling pot. What do I do? What should I do?
At this time, the gold and silver vortex on Lan Xuanyu was completely formed. When the two different-colored veins converged at his heart, a minute rainbow light appeared.
In that instant, everything calmed down. Ji Hongbin thought he heard a faint dragon roar.
Yes; it was extremely faint, but he was able to perceive that the dragon roar seemed to originate from the depth of his spirit. Even at his level, he nearly lost his consciousness for an instant and almost failed to sustain the barrier in the room. And right after that, the little rainbow light suddenly blossomed out—transforming into a rainbow halo of light and completely turning Lan Xuanyu rainbow-colored.
