BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 - Rainbow
Chapter 99: Rainbow
Lan Xuanyu took the chance to roll to the side and got out from beneath the Lava Hound.
But his heart turned cold the instant he came out.
The 300 odd 10-year Lava Hounds were already within proximity. What made him feel even more helpless was the large fireball flying straight towards him.
It took a huge toll on him to kill 2 100-year Lava Hounds consecutively and his Spirit Power was almost completely exhausted. His stamina was also at an all-time low.
It was to the extent that he was unable to perform his footwork as he needed to gasp for breath. But why would the Lava Hounds give him the opportunity to catch his breath?
It’s over!
But, at least I was able to kill two-thirds of them!
Lan Xuanyu subconsciously raised both of his arms and crossed them in front of him, his right hand in front of his left. He knew for sure that he could not survive the fireball. Let it end. At least it’s better than being bitten to death by those Lava Hounds. It doesn’t hurt but it’ll be so gross!
“Bang—”
The blazing hot ball descended. Lan Xuanyu felt the intense pain and heat emitting from the fireball on his right hand. But right at this moment, he also sensed that time seemed to have turned sluggish around him. He watched in slow motion as his right hand retreated from the flaming ball and touched his left.
In that instant, gold patterned Blue Silver Grass curled up his right hand while silver patterned Blue Silver Grass covered his left. The interaction between both hands also caused the two different blue silver grass to interact.
An intense boom exploded out as the fireball detonated. But right at that moment, Lan Xuanyu saw a glow of rainbow emitted from where his hands had met.
That’s right, a rainbow!
At the same time, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred on the single white spirit ring on his body.
Even when he utilized both blue silver grass on any ordinary day, there would only be a single spirit ring that was white in color, or rather two superimposed into one.
But in that moment, the single white spirit ring suddenly split into two before rejoining once again — This time into a rainbow-colored Spirit Ring. The Spirit Ring suddenly expanded outwards.
The vortex that Nana had helped to seal within Lan Xuanyu’s chest previously suddenly revolved violently and the initially inharmonious gold and silver within actually merged and transformed into a rainbow.
“Bang—”
An enormous energy ripple suddenly blossomed. Lan Xuanyu’s mind was completely blanked out. At this very moment, a rainbow sphere of light expanded outwards with him as the center.
The fire ball’s detonation was engulfed completely along with 30 over 10-year Lava Hounds that were instantly wiped out and disappeared even before they could make a sound. As for the 100-year Lava Hound that was further away, it was affected by something inconceivable as it went limp and actually dropped to the ground. With that, it transformed into light and disappeared, almost as if...
It was literally scared to death!
The rainbow sphere of light expanded until a diameter of roughly 10 meters. In less than a second, it gradually dissipated.
A ‘clank’ sounded resounded between Lan Xuanyu’s hand before they separated. He then woke up from the blank state of mind to the notification of him passing the test...
When he left the training ground, he was still confused.
I passed?
Weren’t there still 30 over 10-year Lava Hounds and the 100-year Lava Hound attacking me? And wasn’t I about to die?
But he looked at the additional soul coin, proving that he had indeed passed the test.
What is going on? And what was that rainbow light?
He quickly checked himself for any changes in his body. My spiritual strength is somewhat weakened, my Spirit Power...
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes bulged open because he realized that his Spirit Power had decreased by a substantial amount. The vortex in his chest had weakened slightly as well.
Shouldn’t my Spirit Power return to its peak state upon the end of the test? Why isn’t it restored?
While feeling the shock, he quickly exited the pod and headed outside.
He focused once again and sensed the changes in his body. His Spirit Power was weakened without any hint of restoration. Do I have to meditate to recover?
He promptly returned back to his dorm. Qian Lei and Liu Feng had yet to return as their test had not ended yet.
He sat on his own bed and started meditating. But after a few moments, Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes in horror.
He had performed meditation and his Spirit Power was at his peak state, but why was the Spirit Power in his body evidently lesser?
An ominous premonition immediately lingered in his mind. Lan Xuanyu did not dally and immediately took the Spirit Power Test Apparatus.
This Spirit Power Test Apparatus was a simple model that was able to test up to rank 30 and every dorm had one.
Imbue my Spirit Power, test!
Spirit Power: Rank 13!
When he saw the number, he was dumbstruck.
Rank 13? How did I regress to Rank 13? It was so difficult for me to cultivate to rank 14! Why did it decrease instead of increase and actually fall back to Rank 13?
Lan Xuanyu was stupefied as his thoughts turned cold.
His progress in cultivating Spirit Power was already considered slow and was the weakest in the entire class in terms of Spirit Power. For it to drop one whole rank, this is truly...
His breathing became shallow as his entire body turned numb.
How did it turn out this way? My rank dropped. I want to cry!
After more than 10 minutes, he repeated the use of the Spirit Power Test apparatus two more times and double confirmed that he only had rank 13 Spirit Power.
Take a deep breath and calm down. Why did it drop? What reason can it be to cause a drop in spirit power rank?
There was no doubt that the rainbow light had something to do with it. When the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass and silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass touches, it will induce a special change that will cause my Spirit Power to drop a rank. And instead, it will produce an instantaneous explosion?
He had never heard of anything like it in his studies. But, who should I ask? Will the teachers know? Can they be trusted? Will they force me to leave the Elite Junior class because of it?
Teacher Nana! That’s right, I can ask Teacher Nana.
He suddenly recalled Nana as though he had grasped onto his last life-saving straw. Teacher Nana will definitely know something. She was the one that helped me with the vortex inside of me. When the Blue Silver Grass on my hands touched, something changed inside the vortex as well.
Upon thinking about Nana, his mood became steadier. At least we can communicate through Qian Lei.
He sat cross-legged and gradually circulated his Spirit Power according to the Mysterious Heaven Method. At the same time, Lan Xuanyu scrutinized himself even further.
The Spirit Power disappeared just like that? But he could not believe it, it was completely against all of the knowledge he had on Spirit Masters. And it had happened inside the simulation pod! It did not happen in the real world, and it was mentioned previously that only the experience would be brought back to the real world?
There were too many questions in his head.
As his consciousness sank deeper, Lan Xuanyu gradually sensed the changes within the vortex. As he went deeper into meditation, he discovered different aspects within his body.
It was true that his Spirit Power had weakened. But he realized that the connection between the gold and silver energy within his body seemed to have changed.
How to explain it? It was almost as if the repulsion between the two different energies had lessened slightly. That’s right, slightly.
