As they were revolving, the disparity between the two energies was clearly lessened.
It wasn’t obvious on the surface but for Lan Xuanyu, this was a sort of intuition. Nana once told him before that the intuition that a Soul Master developed in the course of cultivation was the most accurate. This sort of intuition could give a Soul Master many things – one must trust his or her intuition as this could be considered a moment of enlightenment.
Which meant that if one’s Soul Power decreased by a level, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing?
Just at this moment, he realized a different change again. To his surprise, in the deepest part of his vortex, there seemed to be a fuzzy spot of light in the middle. He noticed this spot of light because its color was different from the rest.
In the vortex, there was only golden and silver energy, giving off a faint white color energy when mixed together. But this little dot that was the size of the tip of a needle was colorful.
As it was simply too small, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t tell what color it was made up of but he was very sure that this didn’t appear before.
But what’s going on?
Was it also brought by that previous collision?
These discoveries let Lan Xuanyu calm down completely. His rank decreased and all these changes happened – even the teachers wouldn’t have an explanation for it and it had a direct relation with his somewhat bizarre Twin Spirits.
He wanted to ask Mu Zhongtian at first but it seemed like it was more appropriate if he asked Teacher Nana instead. Other teachers may not have the answers and would probably get more suspicious.
He would ask Teacher Nana the next time he meets her, then. However, this relates to a secret about his spirit and he couldn’t even let Qian Lei and Liu Feng know about it. What should I do?
Lan Xuanyu stopped meditating and thought of a great idea.
That Dong Qianqiu girl could be summoned, right? He couldn’t ask Teacher Nana directly for fear that others would hear him but he could write a letter and ask her to bring it over! It should be possible through the space storage device – that girl seemed to have it.
With that thought, Lan Xuanyu quickly jumped out of bed and wrote about his changes and doubts he had in a letter.
After he was done, it was lunchtime.
On the whole, he was still unhappy. As a Soul Master, a decrease in Soul Power was simply too scary. Especially for him because his Soul Power cultivation was really tough; he finally improved a little yet decreased in rank once again. That meant that if he isn’t careful in the future, the same thing would happen again when he lets both types of Blue Silver Grass come into contact with one another? This was what he was most afraid of.
According to this rate of decline, when would he ever become a high-ranking Soul Master?
However, his unhappiness was gone very quickly because when he arrived at the canteen, there were only three to four Elite Junior Class students eating there and the rest had not completed the test.
The amount of food hadn’t changed! With so little people, this meant that he could eat all he wanted?
Eat!
Under the stunned gaze of those few students, this was the first time that Lan Xuanyu went all out and stuffed himself ever since he arrived at Tian Luo Academy.
Until he was done eating, there were only seven to eight students who were in the canteen, excluding Qian Lei and Liu Feng. Until their afternoon class, most of the students hadn’t eaten and many of them became dejected in the afternoon.
Teacher Ji’s class wasn’t so easy indeed!
Lan Xuanyu hid the fact that his Soul Power rank decreased. Dropping from rank 14 to 13 wasn’t very obvious, after all. At least he could hide this till the mid-term exams and he had already began doing his best at cultivating. He would meditate hard whenever he had time and try to recover his Soul Power.
Let’s not talk about increasing to a higher rank but at least revert back to rank 14. Otherwise, what would the teachers think if they found out that his rank dropped during the mid-terms?
That night, he pulled Qian Lei and Liu Feng to perform the summoning once again and summoned Dong Qianqiu over. After they participated in the assessment together, he handed the letter to her.
Dong Qianqiu had the storage device on her indeed and she brought the letter away.
Lan Xuanyu could only wait for Teacher Nana’s reply.
Three whole days, after three days, Nana’s reply finally arrived. When Lan Xuanyu saw her reply, everything became clear at once and all the haze were swept away.
Nana told him that his situation could possibly be a Self Spirit Fusion technique which meant that his golden-patterned and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass were able to undergo fusion.
The two energies should have a homologous origin but couldn’t get along because of the different attributes. When he was faced with danger again during a battle, this sort of barriers finally broke and thus developed a Self Spirit Fusion technique.
With his cultivation of over rank 10, it was already quite incredible that he could use the Self Spirit Fusion technique. And the drop in his Soul Power was probably a change that happened after his spirits fused. When Lan Xuanyu found out about the increased compatibility of the two types of energies and that tiny colorful light appeared, it seemed that this change was a good thing. This also meant that the two energies that couldn’t get along were beginning to fuse due to the Self Spirit Fusion technique
If the two energies could get along better in the future, that would be best – it could even strengthen his cultivation and his spirit could become stronger too. This was definitely a good thing but it would possibly affect the progress of his cultivation.
Hence, Nana’s suggestion was to try to continue cultivating first and see if it was faster to get back to rank 14. If so, he could consider continuing the spirit fusion.
Nana also reminded Lan Xuanyu again that due to the conflicting golden and silver energies in his body, this was his greatest hidden danger. The spirit fusion this time could become the solution to the hidden danger. If that’s the case, then it would be amazing. The next time he uses the spirit fusion, he would have to tell her of the changes again.
After Lan Xuanyu persisted in his cultivation for a few days, he realized that ranking up from rank 13 to 14 was indeed much faster than before. It could be because he had already cultivated once before and his meridians had widened so it was much faster.
In the following period, Lan Xuanyu and his two roommates would practice privately outside of the usual lesson times to increase their coordination and also the rapport between them.
Lan Xuanyu became the well-deserving core between the three of them and with him, Liu Feng and Qian Lei’s fighting power increased drastically. He was very deserving of being the head.
A month flew by and it was finally the day of the mid-term exams. What let Lan Xuanyu let out a huge sigh of relief was that his rank finally went back up to rank 14 after he trained hard for a month. At least he wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.
But he also realized that the colorful light in the core of his golden and silver vortex did not increase in size along with his increase in Soul Power; it was as if nothing happened before and it still remained in its original size.
The curriculum of the Elite Junior Class was substantial; they had different classes from morning till night. Sociocultural theory and real combat were equally important. Lan Xuanyu could clearly sense his progress and the improvement of his classmates. Everyone was learning and cultivating assiduously as nobody wanted to be the one who gets eliminated at the end of the term.
He didn’t have any conflicts with his classmates and everyone was relatively restrained with one another, everyone was focused on cultivating. In fact, nobody had time to fight.
Ye Lingtong didn’t look for Lan Xuanyu again and didn’t ask him what he wanted to do previously. She was studying diligently everyday and cultivating vigorously.
