Chapter 223 - Child of a great beast
Heaven Luo Planet.
In Lan Xuanyu’s home.
“Our son went to the Mother Planet. I really didn’t imagine that someday, my son would actually qualify to take part in Shrek Academy’s enrollment assessment.” Nan Cheng leaned on her husband’s shoulder with a slight reluctance in her eyes, but it was mostly filled with yearning and strong motherly love.
Lan Xiao sighed softly, “He came from there and is just going back now. His glory has perhaps just started to bloom. He is different, after all.”
Nan Cheng’s delicate body trembled slightly, and she sat upright all of a sudden, “Hubby, do you think our son’s secret would be uncovered? That is the Shrek Academy, ah!”
Lan Xiao shook his head, “So, what if they do? Our son didn’t do anything wrong. Ever since the Federation signed the agreement with the soul beasts to live in harmony and made it illegal to harm soul beasts, both parties had maintained a very good relationship. I’ve been researching what’s going on with our son’s condition all these years and according to my preliminary judgment, Xuanyu, our child…”
With that said, he paused and appeared to be in deep thoughts.
“Stop beating about the bush, go straight to the point,” Nan Cheng urged.
Lan Xiao said, “Xuanyu was born out of an egg, and this is not the way a normal human baby is born; us, humans, are viviparous animals. However, what came out of that eggshell was a human baby—a human just like us. All the tests indicated that he is a human baby. Then, there is only one possibility. I think that one of his parents is a soul beast with cultivation of over 10,000 years and is one that could transform into a human form, while the other party should be a human. Only then could they produce a son like that.”
Nan Cheng’s eyes widened in shock, but she was also in the research of ancient soul beasts and immediately understood that there was a possibility in what her husband said.
“Then, who do you think is the soul beast? His biological father or mother? I don’t recall any soul beast with gold and silver patterns!” Nan Cheng said doubtfully.
Lan Xiao smiled bitterly, “I’m not sure either; this has also been bothering me. I’ve been researching this aspect, hoping to find out Lan Xuanyu’s origin. But there weren’t any signs to indicate any similarities between him and a particular soul beast; his Martial Soul is even more doubtful to me. It is actually the Blue Silver Grass, just a patterned Blue Silver Grass. Could it be that his human parent’s Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass? But how could a Soul Master with a trash Martial Soul like the Blue Silver Grass bind with a strong 10,000-year soul beast? I just can’t figure it out.”
Nan Cheng said, “Let’s not think about it, then. Anyway, I just need to know that he is my son, and that is enough. He is my baby son. I’m satisfied as long as he’s safe in Shrek Academy.”
“En, en, there shouldn’t be an issue with safety. Let’s hope that he’ll get in. If he gets into Shrek Academy, he would definitely have a different life.”
…
The spacecraft slowly landed on Douluo Planet, Douluo Continent.
The Douluo Continent was also the home of the Federal capital. The Federal capital was located in the biggest city in the Douluo Continent, Ming Capital, and the space center was also established here.
Looking out of the window, the entire place was green. Even if it was a city of steel forest, it was still surrounded by greenery. Lan Xuanyu had already seen these before they landed, and he clearly got more excited.
“The doors will be opening soon. As the breath of life on the Mother Planet is very rich, please be informed that the safety belts will only be released after the door has been opened for ten minutes. Please do not panic.” The flight attendant broadcasted over the system.
In the next moment, following a “chi” sound, the door of the spacecraft opened slowly. At the same time, all of the air-conditioning systems began switching to external circulation, getting the air from outside to enter the spacecraft.
Some fresh air flowed in and everyone, including Lan Xuanyu, was refreshed. Everybody could clearly feel an inexplicable presence immersed in their own bodies; it was very comforting and gave off an intoxicating feeling.
This is…
Life energy?
Lan Xuanyu felt the changes in the air in shock as he looked out of the window.
No wonder everyone said that the Mother Planet is great. The life energy here was really thick.
The environment in Heaven Luo Planet was great as well, but at this moment, he felt that the quality of life in Heaven Luo Planet wasn’t the same as the Mother Planet. The air here was filled with energy, which allowed the gold and silver vortex in his body to rotate faster; every cell in his body seemed to be jumping for joy. Along with the rotation of the gold and silver vortex, and quick absorption of the energy in the air into his body, this feeling was just like how he feels when he eats the precious ingredients: in just ten breaths, his entire body began to heat up slightly.
Ji Hongbin sat behind Lan Xuanyu. He could also feel the baptism of life energy from the Mother Planet; he was already used to all these. The reason he missed this place was mostly due to the life energy on the Mother Planet.
Ming Capital wasn’t the place with the thickest life energy. It would be different at Shrek Academy.
This sort of life energy would definitely affect those who had just arrived at Douluo Planet, and they needed to get used to it. There were certain benefits to the body and even some life-prolonging effect if one stayed long-term at the Mother Planet. This was also the reason why the headquarters of the Federation was established here.
But there was a limit to how many people the Mother Planet could bear. Once the numbers exceeded a certain amount, the life energy would be reduced and would not have this sort of effect any more. So, the Federation controlled the number of people living on the Mother Planet very strictly. Only the outstanding geniuses were qualified to live there, especially scientists, elite Soul Masters and the likes.
There was a distinction in class in any society, and the only thing the Federation could do was to try their best to make the rise in class as fair as possible.
As long as you possessed the talent and were willing to work hard, you could also climb up in status with your own effort. And many people’s goal was to live on the Mother Planet.
What Lan Xuanyu didn’t know was that the spacecraft ticket to get to the Mother Planet was very expensive, far more than to travel to Heaven Dou Planet. And this was already specially discounted as they were Shrek Academy’s candidates. Otherwise, the academy may not be willing to pay such a fee for them.
Ji Hongbin reminisced about the life he had there before and suddenly realized there was some movement in front of him.
As an eight-ring Soul Douluo Soul Master, he was naturally very perceptive. He was surprised to find that the concentration of life energy around his precious disciple was significantly greater than others. It was as if he was like a vortex and was constantly absorbing these energies into his body.
Affable with life energy? Ji Hongbin immediately thought of this phrase. This was a rare situation, ah!
Due to the unique physique of some Soul Masters, they would naturally have a very strong affinity with life energy. In addition, if these Soul Masters had enough life energy to moisten, it would be beneficial for their cultivation and Martial Soul.
Ji Hongbin didn’t expect that Lan Xuanyu was actually one of these rare human Soul Masters.
Although being affable with life energy didn’t mean that one was strong, it would definitely be a bonus point to get into Shrek Academy. In the seven planets under mankind’s control, there wasn’t any other planet that had stronger life energy than Douluo Planet. Having the unique characteristic of being affable with life energy meant that he would be able to advance faster than others in the future during cultivation.
All this while, Ji Hongbin had been worried about Lan Xuanyu’s Soul Power cultivation issue, but it seemed like with this affinity with life energy, the problem could naturally be solved.
