Chapter 143: Fire element?
And what made Lan Xuanyu even more surprised was that following the release of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, his Soul Ring naturally appeared too.
Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck when he saw two Soul Rings rising from his feet, especially when he saw the color of these two Soul Rings.
Yellow. Both Soul Rings were yellow.
His first Soul Ring was white! White represented ten years, right? But he always felt that the power of his Soul Skill wasn’t just ten years.
However, at this very moment, both his Soul Rings were yellow, without a hint of white at all.
What was happening? Soul Rings would evolve from a lower rank to a higher one, and this required special cultivation. The Spirit Pagoda had a place to cultivate for enhancement, but that cost a lot and would have to depend on luck as well.
Besides, Lan Xuanyu had never been to the Spirit Pagoda before! He didn’t even know where the entrance to the Spirit Pagoda was, yet his Soul Ring simply evolved without rhyme or reason.
Yellow represented 100 years, and here, two Soul Rings appeared at once. In other words, this meant that he was now a Soul Grandmaster who owned two 100-year Soul Rings.
This sudden change simply left him speechless. Just the Soul Rings alone were a complete change in strength!
Lan Xuanyu quickly raised his right hand and released his golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass too.
The faint golden color skyrocketed, its form almost exactly the same as the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass. The pattern also changed to be more structured and was also a similar net structure, just that the shape of each hole was a diamond shape.
The Blue Silver Grass in both his hands had become tougher and even more structured. This made Lan Xuanyu overjoyed with the unexpected results. Without having to attack, he knew that his strength had increased drastically!
Nana was also astonished as she watched his changes. When she saw the patterns on both Lan Xuanyu’s hands, her delicate body shuddered and something seemed to stir in her head. She was inexplicably surprised, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she couldn’t recall anything and only felt like she was now closer to Lan Xuanyu.
“Teacher, my Soul Rings, why did they become 100-year ones already? And they appeared by themselves! I didn’t use any Spirit Soul at all,” Lan Xuanyu said to Nana in shock.
Nana’s gaze changed slightly, and she said in a low voice, “Xuanyu, you must not tell anyone about this. About the fact that you didn’t have a Spirit Soul or that your Soul Ring naturally appeared.”
Lan Xuanyu went blank and quickly probed further, “Teacher Nana, you know why this happened, don’t you? Could you please explain it to me?”
Nana shook her head and said, “Now isn’t the right time for you to find out. When I feel that you are ready, I’ll tell you. You’re not strong enough to handle this secret yet; not everyone is good in this world, after all.”
“Oh.” Lan Xuanyu was a little disappointed, but seeing how serious Nana was, he still hurriedly nodded his head and promised that he wouldn’t simply tell anybody about this.
“Come on, let’s try out the function of your second Soul Ring and see what other changes there are. Use your left hand first,” Nana said to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu nodded and put the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass in his right hand first before engaging the first Soul Ring from his left hand.
A strange scene took place. After the first Soul Ring, the control of ice elements, was activated, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass on his left hand suddenly became transparent, revealing a faint ice blue color. The pattern twirled upwards, and it was extremely beautiful. The silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass that became a delicate vine was like a clear crystal at this moment, and the interior was filled with dense water elements.
Lan Xuanyu immediately felt that the water elements in the air were like rivers running into the sea, gushing towards him, and it was much stronger than before.
‘This is the use of the 100-year Soul Ring? It is certainly much stronger.’
His Spiritual Power was already very strong, so he had perfect command of the water element. In just a moment, he felt that his cultivation had already improved greatly.
At the same time, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass’ change was not small. In the past, he would let the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass cover his arm to control the ice elements and was careful not to use it for battle directly. The grass was simply too weak and couldn’t be used at all.
But after the evolution, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass became sturdier and could allow the water elements to be stored inside. It was like a weapon, and when it waved, it actually felt as if he had an ice whip in his hand.
“Second Soul Ring,” Nana said.
Lan Xuanyu triggered his mind and the second Soul Ring arose, but the next moment left him dumbstruck.
He was already used to the chilliness brought about by the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass and every time, at this moment, he would be especially affable with the water elements and could even switch between water elements and ice elements.
However, when his second Soul Ring arose, everything changed.
The chilliness in his body disappeared, and the first Soul Ring retracted. In the next moment, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass, which was initially still an icy-blue color, had a complete change as well.
A hint of fiery red surged out of his palm, and the interior of the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass became completely red as if it were a sapphire turning into a ruby. The red color was fresh and bright, reflecting an intense golden-red glow. The temperature in the cultivation room also rose sharply, and a small flame circled around the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass. The surrounding fire elements swarmed towards Lan Xuanyu.
‘This...’
‘How is this possible!’
Lan Xuanyu wouldn’t even dare to dream that a change like this would happen to his silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass’ second Soul Ring.
He originally thought that the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass’ second Soul Ring’s enhancement would be related to the ice elements, maybe give him a strong ice element Soul Skill or perhaps strengthen his control of ice, just like Dong Qianqiu.
But who would have thought that this second Soul Skill wouldn’t be related to either water or the ice elements. The moment it appeared, it was an intense fire element.
‘Water and fire cannot mix ah!’
From what he knew, he had never heard of anyone who could possess control of these two types of elements from the same Martial Soul.
But the truth was laid bare right before him, and he had no choice but to believe it. Everything was telling him this: yes, his second Soul Ring was control over the fire elements.
Lan Xuanyu wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. At first, he thought that his Martial Soul’s evolution would be pretty clear. Since his meridians became stronger, this Soul Skill would naturally become stronger too, but who would have expected an outcome which was poles apart.
He didn’t consider having control of the fire elements as his second Soul Skill as a good thing. Being able to control two types of elements didn’t mean that he was definitely stronger! On the contrary, the water and fire elements were in opposition to each other, and they would have an effect on one another, for sure. Just like when he first released his second Soul Skill, his first Soul Skill retreated instantly. In other words, these two Soul Skills were not complementary and could not enhance each other.
This wasn’t what Lan Xuanyu wanted. He had wanted for his Soul Skills to be able to enhance each other and become more powerful.
“Water and fire don’t get along, water and fire don’t get along ah! Teacher Nana, how did this happen?” Lan Xuanyu looked devastated. He looked at Nana, his mood having sunk into the valley.
