Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 14: Lan Xiao's confusion

These two spirit rings

In the world of Spirit Masters, spirit rings had a hierarchy and since ancient times, it was divided according to the rank of the spirit beast that released the spirit ring. There was the white 10-year spirit ring, the yellow 100-year spirit ring, the purple 1,000-year spirit ring, the black 10,000-year spirit ring, the red 100,000-year spirit ring. The older the spirit ring, the stronger it was.

Other than these few types, there were also a few special colored spirit rings that appeared before. For example, there was the orange 100,000-year spirit ring that only existed in legends.

And at this moment, it seemed like the spirit ring around Lan Xuanyus Blue Silver Grass was white which was the lowest 10-year rank. This was normal for a low-ranking Spirit Master. After all, the purpose of cultivation was to achieve a higher ranking spirit ring. According to theoretical research, the highest rank that a human body could bear was only a 100-year spirit ring.

But the problem was that this white spirit ring that Lan Xuanyu had wasnt obtained from a spirit soul. It had only been a night! To be specific, he merely slept for one night and had a spirit ring. What did it mean?

Lan Xiao was into the research of ancient spirit beasts and this sort of situation only meant one thing.

After the spirit beast cultivated to a 100,000-year rank, it usually had two choices; either to continue trying to break through and attain a higher rank or to recultivate into a human being. However, there was a danger of trying to break through, and it had a high chance of failing. By becoming a human, it had to start from scratch and cultivate through human methods to reach a divine level, thus gaining a prolonged life.

There was a unique feature to the recultivation of spirit beasts; they didnt require a spirit soul or hunting of spirit beast in order to attain a spirit ring. Each time they reached a certain level, they would be able to obtain a spirit ring and possess its corresponding ability.

Lan Xiao thought about how Lan Xuanyu was born and how his spirit ring appeared by itself. He could obviously guess that this child might be the recultivation of a spirit beast!

In most cases, the recultivation of a spirit beast would bring about its past memories. But from all the tests done and the way Little Xuanyu behaved, it seemed like he didnt have any recollection of his past at all.

Lan Xiao was somewhat confused. According to his research on the ancient spirit beasts, even if a 100,000-year spirit beast recultivated, it was still a spirit beast until it cultivated to Rank 70. Only after it reached Rank 70, it could then transform into a human being. But all the test reports of Lan Xuanyu indicated that he was purely human and wasnt a spirit beast.

This is insane

As a scientist, Lan Xiao would usually get quite excited when he encountered this sort of situation because it was a unique and new discovery that allowed him to dive into deeper research and investigation.

But the problem was that the person in this predicament was his very own son!

During these six years, he and Nan Cheng already regarded Lan Xuanyu as a pure human being just like themselves. But everything changed within just one day, and he was caught unprepared.

What made Lan Xiao crumble further was that even if the white spirit ring appeared on its own, there wasnt just one spirit ring but twoone on the left and another on the right!

Two!

It wasnt that nobody had two spirit rings at Rank 10 but that sort of situation was called Twin Spirits. In these rare cases, a Spirit Master has two spirits and each spirit had a spirit ring.

However, even if it were twin spirits, it would be impossible for the spirit rings of both spirits to appear at the same time. They were only able to use them interchangeably but not at the same time! Also, on the two clusters of Blue Silver Grass, they each clearly had its own spirit ring there.

This was undoubtedly a subversion, and it wasnt the same subversion as normal Spirit Masters.

Lan Xiao was about to break down because he really didnt know how to deal with this phenomenon.

Daddy, daddy, are you okay? Little Xuanyu looked worriedly at Lan Xiao who was in a complete daze like he had become a statue.

Lan Xiao returned to his senses, and there was a slight tremble in his voice as he asked, Son, could you keep only one side of the Blue Silver Grass?

I will try. Lan Xuanyu put his left hand down as he focused on trying to keep the Blue Silver Grass in his head. Then, the Blue Silver Grass on his left hand disappeared, and he was left with the Blue Silver Grass with the faint gold pattern on his right hand.

Lan Xiao finally heaved a sigh of relief but felt anguished on the inside.

Son, what exactly are you? A recultivated spirit beast with two spirits, but youre a human, right? So how could you be born with spirit rings?

Lan Xiaos breathing was quickened slightly. However, he had a calm temperament, and after composing himself, he said, Son, keep your spirit first, well try using the Mysterious Heaven skill.

He needed time to think, and he was really afraid that Lan Xuanyu would do something unusual again.

Lan Xuanyus perception skills were normal, and under Lan Xiaos guidance, he could finally follow the normal route to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven skill after three to four tries. However, he wasnt fully proficient yet and would still need some time if he wanted to successfully complete the cultivation.

In the next period of time, he would be observing his son closely. Lan Xiao used three full days to monitor Little Xuanyus condition. He even slept next to him at night, afraid that he would transform or something.

But it appeared that all the transformation was completed on the first day of the spirit awakening; Lan Xuanyu didnt display any abnormalities. Within three days, he could finally perform the Mysterious Heaven skill independently and begin normal cultivation. There was no explosive growth in spirit power either, and the rate of increase wasnt considered fast.

Their lives went back to normal gradually. After having a discussion, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng decided to keep this a secret and conceal the fact that Little Xuanyu was different from the rest.

A white spirit ring wasnt very impressive and was merely the lowest 10-year rank spirit ring.

Lan Xiao started to warn Little Xuanyu on some matters like how he wasnt allowed to tell anyone that he had Innate Full Spirit Body or to utilize two Blue Silver Grass from both hands at the same time, etc. Lan Xiao also fabricated a story about the ring around his finger and said that it was a family heirloom. They tried to hide whatever they could.

That day, Lan Xiao returned home straight after work excitedly.

Son, Ive settled it for you.

Father, what did you settle? Little Xuanyu looked at him curiously as he ran out of the cultivation room.

Obviously the school that youll be attending! Heaven Luo Elementary Spirit Master Academy! Its an academy under Zi Luo City, and it is also the best elementary school for Spirit Masters in our city.

Oh. Little Xuanyu didnt really grasp the concept of the best academy and didnt know how much effort Lan Xiao put in just to get him into this school.

But there will be a test when you get in, and youll be allocated to a class based on your results. You must decide whether you want to use your right or left Blue Silver Grass for the test, Lan Xiao smiled as he said.

To Lan Xuanyu, the abilities between the Blue Silver Grass on his left and right hands were different.

Little Xuanyu tilted his head and pondered for a moment before saying, Daddy, I havent decided yet.

Lan Xiao thought about it before he said, Left hand then. Your mothers skill is ice, and it makes sense if we say that the Blue Silver Grass on your left hand is a mutation.

Alright.
