Chapter 230 - Scales
The entire room became dazzling and very eye-catching from the outside.
Lan Xuanyu felt a little warmth spreading around his chest. In just a moment, it took away all his pain. The gold and silver bloodline energy that entered his bones, meridians, and internal organs calmed down, and each performed its own function. A colorful radiance vaguely appeared.
The broken meridian began to reconstruct quietly; the raging fresh blood slowly returned directly into the meridian. His internal organs that were close to breaking down became strong once again, and the crevices in his bones that were full of cracks all turned colorful. The gold and silver duo-color energy that were previously colliding violently also became colorful, disappearing without a sound as it entered the depths of his bones.
A series of “pi pa” sounds resounded in Lan Xuanyu’s body. That colorful radiance was short-lived and vanished as soon as it appeared. But the change that appeared on the surface of his skin was that all the gold and silver patterns had disappeared, including that gold and silver vortex in his chest.
Everything seemed to be back to normal at this moment, and Lan Xuanyu’s aura had returned to its original state when he just began cultivating.
If not for the tears on his school uniform, it was as if nothing had happened.
Ji Hongbin’s tense heart could finally relax a little. He could confirm that his disciple had just completed a bloodline mutation.
The entire process was only a few minutes long, but it could be described as unrestrained and full of ups and downs. It really shook him to the core. He could clearly sense that his disciple was about to collapse, but after that split second, everything returned to normal like nothing happened at all.
Was it a good or bad thing? Was it a good mutation or a bad one?
Just at this moment, changes began to appear on Lan Xuanyu’s hands. The first change was in his nails. The nails on his left hand suddenly turned silver, and the nails on his right hand turned golden. Then, his nails started growing rapidly; the nails on his left hand were about two inches, while the nails on his right hand were three inches long. After that, his nails actually began growing longer, becoming sharp, gold and silver claws.
From the root of the nail and above, pieces of scales started appearing. The scales that appeared on his left hand were gold, diamond-shaped scales, and every diamond-shaped scale appeared to be full of texture; there were distinct lines on them.
While the silver scales that appeared on his right hand were oval-shaped, there were wave-like patterns on top of them and seemed much gentler. There was also a faint, colorful glow on it.
Two different types of scales formed from his nails to his palms, then they bore into the middle of the palm and went all the way up to his wrist and arm.
It didn’t stop until it covered his elbows.
Scales! What sort of scales are these? He recalled the Dragon Roar before—could it be dragon scales? Two types of dragon scales?
Just exactly how did Lan Xuanyu’s golden- and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass Twin Martial Soul mutation come about?
Even with Ji Hongbin’s level of cultivation, he could vaguely feel a strong sense of danger with Lan Xuanyu’s body with the appearance of these two types of scales. But that aura from his bloodline that had burst forth had weakened slightly.
This should be a good mutation, right?
Ji Hongbin could finally relax completely right now and got rid of his protective shield. This was the Shrek Academy, after all. Outside, his eight-ring cultivation was considered relatively strong; but in Shrek, eight-ring was nothing.
However, the second he removed the protective shield, he immediately felt the dense life energy outside coming in from the windows, door seam, and even the walls. They all swarmed toward Lan Xuanyu.
The life energy that entered was many times denser than before that it caused Lan Xuanyu’s skin to have an additional thin layer of green jade color.
This…
Ji Hongbin suddenly realized that he might have made a wrong decision. After all these life energies surged into Lan Xuanyu’s body, his initial dispirited state immediately recovered slightly.
This meant that when he went through the bloodline mutation previously, due to his isolation, he was also isolated from the external life energy. This life energy should be beneficial for him, right?
This fella is so worrisome! Ji Hongbin’s head was starting to hurt. He had taught countless students, but it was his first time meeting someone like Lan Xuanyu.
But Lan Xuanyu didn’t think so. When the colors spread just now, everything returned to normal. His meridian, internal organs, and bones were reconstructed. They were somewhat different than before, but he wasn’t sure what was different. Just that he felt the gold and silver vortex in his chest had seemed gentler and had returned to the original state at the beginning—the state without enhancement from the life energy.
It was in this state that Lan Xuanyu’s aura had become stable, and the life energy returned at this moment.
This life energy came at the right time.
His bones, meridians, and internal organs were completely reconstructed, but he felt like he had used up all his energy. He was dried up or even shriveled. The arrival of this dense life energy filled up his gold and silver bloodline vortex then immediately replenished every part of his body, allowing him to feel like a rejuvenated youth.
His body was filled with limitless energy, and he could clearly feel that his sea of consciousness had expanded to a larger area. Although his eyes were closed, his perception of the surroundings was much stronger now.
He had a special feeling throughout his entire body. How do I describe it? A word appeared in Lan Xuanyu’s head: Awakening.
That’s right; it was as if his body had “awakened.”
Gradually, his body was completely replenished. He moved a little instinctively and everything was as per usual. Lan Xuanyu spread his arms wide and stretched his body with force.
A series of “pi pa” sounds came from his bones again. Lan Xuanyu immediately felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body’s bloodline; it was heavenly.
He opened both eyes and looked across.
Ji Hongbin merely felt a colorful light flashed across Lan Xuanyu’s eyes, but it was just a split second before they returned to normal. He could clearly feel that there was a difference in his disciple.
He was indeed different. Lan Xuanyu felt his vision improve drastically; everything before him became much clearer. To his surprise, he even found that there seemed to be some skin peeling around the root of Teacher Ji’s hair. It was very slight, and he wouldn’t have noticed if not for his improved eyesight.
“Teacher Ji,” Lan Xuanyu hurriedly called out.
“How was it? Did you go through a bloodline mutation?” Ji Hongbin asked urgently then went to Lan Xuanyu and placed his arms on his shoulder to feel the changes in his body.
Ji Hongbin suddenly realized that Lan Xuanyu’s vital energy and blood was simply abundant. If he pressed it with his palm, it felt like it could bounce back. His Soul Power had an obvious increase, too; it was akin to being born again.
With just this point, he knew that Lan Xuanyu’s body had no problem at all.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I think so. I don’t know why this happened either. This change just happened all of a sudden.”
At this moment, the scales on his hands had disappeared.
Ji Hongbin pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll describe the changes I saw in your body just now so you can think it through.” He immediately told Lan Xuanyu the changes he saw in detail.
Lan Xuanyu listened in shock.
Scales growing out of both hands? This seemed to have happened during a battle before, but that was the duo-colored Blue Silver Grass wrapping around his hand. And those scales appeared to drill out from the grass, not from his body. This time, it was really different!
