LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 22: Blue and silver wrap, turning water to ice
What sort of feeling is that? The moment Ye Feng’s hand came into contact with the silver pattern on the Blue Silver Grass, he felt a tremble in the depths of his soul surfacing from the bottom of his heart. It was also at that moment that his body instinctively released his own spirit.
Eight Spirit Rings rose from the bottom of his feet instantly – four purple and four black. Not only that, but his entire body felt very stretched as a very concentrated and thick aura burst off instantly.
Iron Dragon spirit!
How did Ye Lingtong’s Celestial Dragon mutate? It mutated from her father’s Iron Dragon spirit! Ye Feng had a nickname in the army and he was known as Ironback Dragon.
Lan Xuanyu watched as both of Ye Feng’s eyes turned into a bright yellow and right after that, there was an incontestably terrifying aura exploding out of Ye Feng’s body.
Just the aftermath of the Spirit Power made Lan Xuanyu retreat.
That horrifying oppressive power caused Little Lan Xuanyu’s head to go completely blank immediately.
But it was also at this moment that his right arm heated up all of a sudden and the warmth spread from his right arm to every part of his body, protecting it. At the same time, the silver-patterned Blue Silver Grass on Lan Xuanyu’s left palm began to change.
Those Blue Silver Grass that were initially clambering upward were now curled in the opposite direction instead and the leaves started to face downwards. Starting from Lan Xuanyu’s fingers, those delicate and thin leaves quickly twisted around his little arm until it was completely wrapped up. The silver color on the leaves instantly covered the original shade of blue and the faint silver pattern became more distinct.
Lan Xuanyu was bolted out with a force and was slammed against the wall, unconscious.
Ye Feng realized that something was wrong and quickly dispersed his spirit. He might not have attacked Lan Xuanyu directly, he knew that the strong force of his spirit at a close range might have been too much for the young boy.
“Daddy, what…” Ye Lingtong stared at Lan Xuanyu’s lifeless body, stunned. She too felt terrifying oppression when her father released his spirit, but thankfully, they shared the same blood and wasn’t heavily impacted.
Ye Feng rushed over to Lan Xuanyu with panic in his eyes. He’d been too careless with his spirit. He didn’t know if Lan Xuanyu could survive this. How was he going to explain this to his parents?
Lan Xuanyu lost consciousness after his mind went blank. While he was knocked out, there was a sharp and clear shattering sound, like a bowl breaking accidentally, ringing in his ears.
Then, he started dreaming. He dreamt of a silver halo and a gold halo colliding against each other, neither willing to back down as they try to beat each other. Despite their tenacity, however, none of them succeeded.
Suddenly, a small cluster of light revealing a nine-colored halo appeared, causing the silver and gold halo to be divided into many different lights. One of the smallest colorful clusters broke into pieces and fused silently into a small part of the silver halo. After that, the cluster of colors began to coagulate again, seeming to subtly disperse the silver halo.
The other gold and silver halos seemed to have become calmer, separated and doing their own things.
It was at that moment that Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes in a dazed, and was greeted by five pairs of concerned eyes staring down at him. Other than his parents, Ye Lingtong, Ye Feng, and Ye Lingtong’s mother were standing by his bed.
“He’s awake, he’s awake!” Ye Lingtong exclaimed, jumping up and down excitedly.
“Xuanyu! Are you alright? How are you feeling?” Nan Cheng choked out, grabbing her son’s tiny hand.
Lan Xuanyu sat up, rubbing his eyes. “Mommy, what happened to me? Why did I fall asleep?”
“Don’t worry about it! You’re okay. You’re alright,” Nan Cheng assured him as she gathered him into a tight hug, her tears flowing down.
Ye Feng heaved a sigh of relief and turned to Lan Xiao. “Brother Lan, since Lan Xuanyu’s awake, he should be fine. May I have a word with you outside?”
Lan Xiao nodded but he didn’t look very pleased. Who would want to talk to the guy who endangered their child?
As soon as they got to the balcony, Ye Feng gave Lan Xiao a salute. “I am so sorry about this. I apologize to your family for my impulsiveness. I will bear full responsibility and consequence for this incident. If Xuanyu is unwell in any way in the future, rest assured I will do everything I can to treat him. Again, I am very sorry.”
Ye Feng had invited a healing-type rank 8 Spirit Douluo to Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng’s house to personally check on Lan Xuanyu. The Spirit Douluo declared him to be in great shape, although they were still baffled as to how the child was completely unscathed with normal indicators.
His apology didn’t diminish the bitterness that Lan Xiao was feeling. Ye Feng had filled them in on the details of what happened, and he had to hold Nan Cheng back just so she wouldn’t explode on him. He had to hold back the rage he was feeling earlier because he wanted to put his child’s safety first.
“Thank you for your apology,” Lan Xiao simply replied.
Ye Feng shook his head, his brows knitted slightly. “I didn’t mean to release my spirit, it was all completely instinctual. I don’t even know what happened myself. Your son’s Blue Silver Grass must have undergone a strong mutation. Lingtong’s Celestial Dragon is at a True Dragon Spirit level but when she used the Spirit Skill to attack him, it was ineffective.
“You research ancient spirit beasts and should know that there is only one possibility of this – spirit suppression. This means that Lan Xuanyu’s Blue Silver Grass spirit suppressed Lingtong’s Celestial Dragon. It seems that the direction of your son’s spirit mutation have something to do with dragons and it’s highly possible that it’s not an ordinary dragon. It might be a Holy Light Dragon or something of this level.
“When I touched his spirit, my Iron Dragon spirit probably felt tremendous power coming from a superior dragon so it responded and made me release it. Thankfully, there wasn’t any serious damage done. However, this son of yours has an extraordinary future ahead of him.”
Lan Xiao scoffed dismissively. “A Blue Silver Grass becoming a Holy Light Dragon? That’s not a possibility. Since Xuanyu is fine now, I don’t want to keep you guys here. And if you want to visit us in the future, please contact us first, Senior Colonel Ye Feng. I would appreciate it if you don’t invite yourself to my home with only a child present. Thank you.”
