Nana’s gift

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Nana hasn’t fought since that time she had to protect Lan Xuanyu and Nan Cheng. Even when the War God Temple oppressed her, she merely fought back in spirit and was given a deep and unmeasurable evaluation by the War God Temple.

For someone like this, the higher-ups had decided that after researching, they would observe her for a long period. There was no doubt that they didn’t sense any danger or ill intentions from this person. Ever since she became unfrozen, she merely wanted a peaceful life; even when she had all sorts of peculiarities, she always stuck by the rules.

The Federation had a legal system and advocated liberal democracy. A few years ago, after Nana had gained citizenship, nobody was allowed to carry out any enforcement measures on her forcibly under any circumstances.

Of course, they could exploit the loopholes of the law, but the Federation didn’t have this intention at the moment.

Yun Yan didn’t know that in the War God Temple’s evaluation report given to the Federation’s higher-ups, there was a line that said: Highly suspected that she has already broken through human limits.

What did it mean to break through human limits? It meant that she had broken through the ultimate capacity and was god-like.

A god-rank elite! Ever since Douluo Planet completed its upgrade, mankind began having true top elites. Hence, the Federation wanted to invite her to Douluo Planet for further testing, only to be rejected by Nana.

Lan Xuanyu’s family set off on their journey back home, and Nana returned to the academy.

When she returned to the office, she found that Dong Qianqiu was already waiting for her there. These past few years, she had been watching Dong Qianqiu grow up and teaching her to cultivate.

“They’re gone. Why are you still mad?” Nana smiled and looked at her proud disciple.

Dong Qianqiu pouted and scoffed, “I can’t be bothered to be mad at him; he’s not a good person anyway. I just don’t understand why you like him so much.”

Nana burst out laughing. “And you still say you’re not mad? But it isn’t the time to be angry. You must start preparing for the coming test. It’s no easy task to get into Shrek.”

“En.” Dong Qianqiu nodded and suddenly said, “Teacher Nana, if I get into Shrek Academy, will you still follow me? Do you want to be a teacher at Shrek Academy?”

Nana was taken aback but quickly shook her head. “I won’t be going. I’m already used to life here and everything here, so I won’t simply leave. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me anytime. Now that communication technology is so developed, this wouldn’t be a problem.”

Dong Qianqiu bit her lips gently and said, “But if you’re no longer by my side, does that mean they won’t be able to summon me over anymore?”

A hint of surprise appeared in Nana’s eyes and she burst out in laughter. “Qianqiu, have you fallen for Xuanyu?”

Dong Qianqiu’s pupils widened in an instant. “No way, who would like that fella. I hate him and will never like him, so don’t let your imagination run wild! I just, I just…”

Nana smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright, I have an idea to help you with the summoning problem.”

As she spoke, she lifted her hand and twirled her fingers slightly. A silver light appeared and flew towards Dong Qianqiu.

Dong Qianqiu lifted her hand and caught it. It was oval-shaped and seemed like a silver shell; it looked very peculiar.

There were some fine silver patterns on it, and it was illuminating a gentle halo. In the halo, there were various colors subtly showing, creating a really pretty sight.

“Teacher, what is this?” Dong Qianqiu asked curiously.

“This is a piece of scale,” Nana said. “Keep it well. My aura and energy fluctuations are on top of it. It’s the same as my own spatial positioning, which means that if Xuanyu summons you again, Xuanyu’s team will also feel its presence. I have solidified the power of elements on top, so they can thereby use positioning to summon you.”

“Solidified the power of elements?” Dong Qianqiu was somewhat baffled. She hadn’t heard of this before and didn’t know how strong or difficult this ability was.

Nana smiled. “You don’t have to think too much about it, just keep it by your side. You can treat it as a necklace and wear it around your neck. This is my gift to you.”

“Thank you, teacher.” Dong Qianqiu smiled sweetly. “I’ll get going first to prepare.” After speaking, she skipped out of Nana’s office.

Seeing her retreating figure, Nana laughed and touched her chest subconsciously, then pulled out a delicate golden chain from her neck.

There was a pendant on the necklace, and it was a diamond-shaped gold plate with an indistinct arrow, giving off a faint golden halo.

This necklace existed in a space where only she could feel it. Not long after she was unfrozen, she felt its existence while she was daydreaming one day. She summoned it to her side and wore it around her neck.

She always felt that this necklace was very special to her and extremely important. But each time she touched it and tried to recall everything regarding this necklace, she would have a splitting headache. There would even be fear in her heart, and her mind resisted this memory.

Hence, she stopped forcing herself, but each time she looked at this necklace, she always had a special feeling.

This should be a piece of scale similar to what she gave Dong Qianqiu. However, while the silver scale belonged to her, what about this golden one? Who did it belong to?

…

City of Sin.

“What? Failed? How could they fail! A meteor-class attack ship and five meteorite-class surveillance spaceships should take only minutes to destroy a civilian spacecraft, right? What exactly happened?”

A raging voice resounded in the core of the City of Sin.

“We’re not sure about the details. The final message sent over was: Dragon. The other side appeared to be crying out in fear about a golden dragon, and then there was no more information. All of the spaceships were completely cut off, the whole army should be totally annihilated. We suspect that a space fleet was protecting that spacecraft.”

“Bullsh*t. How could a civilian spacecraft have a spaceship protecting it? Do you think I’m a fool? Investigate thoroughly and gather information for me. What exactly happened? Don’t bother coming back if you can’t give me an answer. Do you know how much money we accepted from them just to kill that Young Noble Le? Great, now we’ve gained nothing and even suffered double losses. Do you know how much all those spaceships cost? Useless, all of you are useless!”

…

The spacecraft flew smoothly. This time, they didn’t meet with any unexpected events. After a few days, they landed in Heaven Luo Planet space center.

Reaching home, other than missing Nana, Lan Xuanyu was elated. He had already broken through and was officially a Soul Grandmaster. Also, both his golden and silver Blue Silver Grass improved. The power of his meridians had admittedly limited the speed of his Soul Power’s growth, but it also allowed him to be way stronger than Soul Masters that were his rank, bringing him more benefits.

“You’ll have to return to school after a day’s rest at home. Your schoolwork is too much, too tiring. They should give you more time to rest,” Nan Cheng complained.

Lan Xiao hugged his wife’s shoulders. “Our son is about to soar to great heights. The Elite Junior Class’ curriculum is different indeed, so we must support him at a time like this. But Xuanyu! There’s something Daddy needs to remind you of.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at Lan Xiao with widened eyes. “What is it, Daddy?”

Ji Hongbin’s excitement

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lan Xiao said seriously, “Remember, you can’t be rash when facing any situation. You were too rash this time and actually drove the space warship when you didn’t have any real experience. Do you know how dangerous that was? What if something were to happen to you? What would we do then? So you must never be reckless again. You must think carefully before acting and put your own safety first. You will meet other dangers in the future too, and each time it happens, just remember that Daddy and Mommy are still waiting for your safe return. Alright?”

Lan Xuanyu met Lan Xiao’s gaze and nodded firmly, “I understand, Daddy. Don’t worry, I won’t be so rash next time. I will also learn well and quickly make myself stronger so that I can become a true elite who can truly protect both of you.”

Lan Xiao smiled and ruffled his son’s head, “Daddy is aware that you charged out like that in order to protect us. Also, you’re not allowed to tell lies next time. If the situation was worse, you would have messed everything up.”

Lan Xuanyu scratched his head in embarrassment. He was still too young and hadn’t considered all the consequences, but he didn’t regret it and wasn’t as traumatized after the event as his father said. ‘Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers’—he was more excited than afraid to pilot the space warship.

If he hadn’t witnessed Young Noble Le’s shocking strength, he might have been even more excited. But right now, he was a little doubtful of his choice. Was a person’s strength more important or becoming a stronger warship commander?

He decided to look for his master and teacher to ask them this question.

If he didn’t clear his doubts about this, he would continue to feel as if he had lost his direction. And without a direction he was sure about, how would he continue cultivating hard and learning?

After resting at home for a day and strengthening his enhanced cultivation, Lan Xuanyu immediately returned to the academy.

He was already used to the intense cultivation from over the past few years and if not for the many incidents in between, he was really not used to suddenly resting for ten days straight.

“Teacher Ji, I have some doubts that I want to clarify with you and Master Yin. Can I talk to both of you at the same time?” Lan Xuanyu went to find Ji Hongbin in the afternoon.

The other students couldn’t wait to be shunned from this great demon, but Lan Xuanyu, on the other hand, was very close to Teacher Ji. Ji Hongbin was strict when he needed to be, but he was very detailed in his teaching and also extremely knowledgeable, which benefited Lan Xuanyu greatly when he learned from him. At least he was starting to truly understand what a Battle Armor was and what needed to be done to become a Battle Armor Master. He also learned about Martial Souls at a more advanced level. Even in the aspect of ancient soul beasts, Teacher Ji and his father’s direction of research was different.

Lan Xiao researched all the ancient soul beasts, but Ji Hongbin mostly talked about those strong ancient soul beasts, especially those that could fuse with humans and become their Soul Rings and Martial Souls, and the many changes they brought about after fusing with the Soul Master.

“Oh? What is it?” Ji Hongbin asked suspiciously. “By the way, does your Soul Power have any sign of breaking through?”

Lan Xuanyu smiled. “Teacher Ji, I was about to tell you about that. I’ve already broken through to the second ring, and I don’t know why, but my Soul Ring seems to have mutated and become a 100-years Soul Ring.”

“Ah?” Ji Hongbin looked at Lan Xuanyu in astonishment. “100-years? I remember that you said you’re not too sure about what your Spirit Soul is?”

As a teacher, how could Ji Hongbin not ask Lan Xuanyu about his Spirit Soul? Lan Xuanyu could only tell him that his father had brought a Spirit Soul back for him and it was a plant-type. He wasn’t too sure about the details, but it shouldn’t be very strong.

As his first Soul Ring was 10-years, Ji Hongbin didn’t delve further. An average household buying a Spirit Soul would already cause quite a strain on their finances.

However, hearing what Lan Xuanyu said had piqued his curiosity.

Lan Xuanyu redirected his thoughts. He released his silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass from his left hand, and two yellow Soul Rings rose from his feet.

Initially, Ji Hongbin had been quite disappointed in him, for, after all, his Soul Power was increasing too slowly. But at this very moment, when Lan Xuanyu released his Martial Soul, Teacher Ji became astonished.

The two 100-year Soul Rings were secondary. The key was the complete change of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass before his eyes.

The appearance of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass had completely changed. It was no longer weak like before, but looked crystal clear. It was born again! From Ji Hongbin’s understanding of Martial Souls, this degree of change would only happen if a Martial Soul mutated.

This also made him focus less on asking Lan Xuanyu about his Spirit Soul because if a Martial Soul mutated, it would also cause the Spirit Soul to mutate and become much stronger.

There was no doubt about it. Just from its appearance alone, one could tell that Lan Xuanyu’s silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass was evolving in the right direction. How could this not get Ji Hongbin excited?

Ji Hongbin’s eyes lit up and he said urgently, “What is your Soul Skill? Release it before me.”

Lan Xuanyu’s second Soul Ring glistened, and a cluster of flames rose up. Under his control, it gradually coagulated into a small fireball and appeared before Ji Hongbin.

Seeing the flames, Ji Hongbin’s first reaction was to be stunned. He was Lan Xuanyu’s teacher for three years, so he was obviously very familiar with Lan Xuanyu’s Martial Soul. His student’s first Martial Soul was clearly the ability to control the water elements! Why did this fire element appear? What was going on?

One must know that generally, water and fire wouldn’t appear at the same time for ordinary Soul Masters, and even if they did, they existed much like Twin Martial Souls. It couldn’t be compared to having two different types of Martial Souls, but it was much better than having just one.

However, Lan Xuanyu’s situation was even more unique. He was already a Twin Martial Soul and he now had the fire element as well. What did this mean?

He was obviously more experienced than Lan Xuanyu as many scenarios ran through his mind immediately.

“Good, water and fire are homologous. This second Soul Ring actually allows for the control of the fire element. This mutation is simply too amazing.” Ji Hongbin looked excited and walked around Lan Xuanyu thrice. Not only did his disappointment disappear, but it was even replaced with elation.

“Teacher, water and fire are incompatible. Is it bad for both of them to be together?” Lan Xuanyu tried to probe. He wanted to know what Teacher Ji had to say about this.

Ji Hongbin said with exasperation, “Silly, who said incompatibility is a bad thing? Sometimes, being incompatible is better than being compatible. For example, if two completely different elements went through special treatment, what would happen if they collided? It would cause a strong reaction and this reaction would become a gigantic force. It wouldn’t just be one plus one equals two, but much greater than that. It could very possibly be an increase by multiple folds. I met two Soul Masters with incompatible attributes, and they could use the Martial Soul Fusion technique to create a terrifying attack power. Having these two types of elements yourself, you’re endowed by nature! If you cultivate well and strengthen your control to an adequate level, you will be able to release your Self Martial Soul Fusion technique often. How strong that would be!”

Ji Hongbin got more excited as he spoke, to the point that he became so hyped up and was almost dancing with joy. This was Lan Xuanyu’s first time seeing him like this. But after listening to what he said, he realized it matched what Teacher Nana said. Moreover, Nana had personally demonstrated the explosive force created when the ice and fire elements were together.
