Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 235: Unusual blood

“How much do we use for each test?” the president asked Zhang Chenyu, who was next to her.

“According to the academy’s requirement,” Zhang Chenyu replied, “one milliliter each. We have to test it thrice to ensure the accuracy of the data. It spoiled a detector the first time and another the second time. The data is confusing and cannot be seen.”

“What about the remaining blood? Bring it over for me to take a look,” the president said.

Zhang Chengyu hurriedly retrieved a test tube and brought it to the president.

The president took a look at the name written on the test tube. “Heaven Luo Academy, Lan Xuanyu.”

“This student came from Heaven Luo Planet,” Zhang Chenyu said. “He got first place for both rounds of the qualifier. His Soul Power isn’t strong, only about rank 20. It should be the uniqueness of his Martial Soul and bloodline that allowed him to reach this stage.

The president nodded, opened the seal on the test tube, and poured out a drop of blood.

Strangely, after pouring out the drop of blood, it suspended in the air right in front of her. She handed the test tube back to Zhang Chenyu, reached out with her right hand, and came into contact with the drop of fresh blood with her index finger.

The blood seemed very normal and didn’t look any different from ordinary fresh blood. But in the next moment, the president’s hand shook violently as if she had been electrocuted, allowing the drop of blood to rise up. Stupefied, she exclaimed, “Bloodline suppression?”

“Ah?” Zhang Chenyu looked at the president in surprise.

The smile on the president’s face had completely disappeared and was replaced with utter shock. When was the last time she was so surprised? Even she couldn’t recall. But this drop of blood before her had amazed her. How did this happen? A bloodline suppression actually appeared?

This was a situation that was simply hard to imagine! What was her cultivation rank? She ought to be beyond the scope of bloodline, but when she came into contact with this drop of blood, the vital energy and blood in her body fluctuated. Although it was only a little, she was very certain of that feeling.

A tinge of uncertainty flashed across the president’s face; her right hand swept across the front of her chest and a ball of lush, green light appeared in her palm.

It was only one inch in diameter, and the entire body gave off a faint greenish-golden color—it was stunning.

With a wave of the president’s left hand, a layer of white halo immediately covered the test area with only her and Zhang Chenyu inside.

That green ball of light floated to that drop of blood silently and that drop of blood actually shook slightly then flew toward that green ball of light. “Swish.” It went inside.

Right after that, a scene that left Zhang Chenyu speechless appeared.

After that drop of blood entered the green ball of light, it actually shook violently, and the green ball of light became dull like it was devoured by the blood.

Following that, that drop of blood continued shaking while the ball of green light completely dimmed and disappeared. Then, two dragon roars resounded.

One of them was low and thick, while the other was clear and melodious. The blood disappeared and became a golden and a silver mist moving in the air, they even vaguely appeared to be dragon figures.

They were only just done with the transformation and immediately flew toward the outside but had knocked into that layer of light shield and bounced back. They weren’t tired at all and kept trying over and over again.

The president closed her eyes. She seemed to have felt something and her expression was somewhat grave. She would even reveal a strange expression every once in a while.

After some time, she waved and that layer of light shield disappeared. Those two gold and silver mists flew off immediately with a “swish” and disappeared without a trace.

It was also Zhang Chenyu’s first time seeing any blood have such an unusual change. It was just an ordinary 11-year-old child’s blood, ah! But this change was really quite shocking.

The president opened her eyes and spoke in a low voice, “Get all the documents, video recordings, everything regarding this Lan Xuanyu to me. Closely monitor all his upcoming assessments and keep me informed. Who’s in charge of his team?”

Zhang Chenyu said, “It’s junior Ling Yiyi.”

The president said, “Inform Ling Yiyi, and get her to keep me informed. This child is very interesting.” After speaking, she turned around.

When the president stepped out of the biological testing lab, a smile had returned to her face, but her gaze became somewhat weird. She mumbled to herself, “Could it be that it’s really a god-rank bloodline? But how is it possible? There’s finally something interesting around here.”

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what had transpired during his blood test, and he was currently going through an endurance test with Liu Feng and Qian Lei.

The endurance test was very simple. There was a special room that had a rotating uphill that was about 50-meters high and a tilt angle of about 30 degrees. All of them needed to keep climbing up, and the ground below them would rotate. As long as they managed to turn it and land on the ground, the test would be over.

Their Soul Powers were sealed, and they could only rely on their own strength; but the rules didn’t state that they couldn’t help one another. However, their results were definitely correlated to the time taken, and the speed in which the tracks were turning increases, too. In addition, each of them had to carry a weight of 20 kilograms on their backs. Lan Xuanyu even suspected that this was done to shorten the duration of the test.

The higher the Soul Power, the stronger the body. This was a known fact in the world of Soul Masters. It was without a doubt that none of the trios’ Soul Power was considered high—especially Qian Lei because he doesn’t train his body so his physical condition was definitely the weakest among the three of them.

However, he had a reliable teammate.

Lan Xuanyu pulled Liu Feng with one hand and pulled Qian Lei with the other as the three of them climbed up the track.

Based on physical quality alone, even if Bing Tianliang was here, he might still be able to pull it off. All the rare ingredients he ate weren’t for nothing. Although he didn’t know how the power of his bloodline came about, his strong bloodline allowed his physical quality to be much better than ordinary people.

Especially after the mutation this time. It was fully reflected in the endurance test this time. Pulling one person in each hand, Lan Xuanyu could easily bring them close to the peak and continue forward.

The 20 kilograms of weight on his back didn’t make much of a difference to him. Also, the power of his bloodline also had a positive influence on Liu Feng and Qian Lei. With their bodies in contact, the bloodline was also helpful even without the use of Martial Soul.

The effect on Liu Feng was slightly more obvious, perhaps because his Martial Soul was also a dragon type. He was also very fast himself so just with Lan Xuanyu holding his arm and helping him stimulate the aura of his bloodline, he could catch up without Lan Xuanyu putting in much effort.

Qian Lei was obviously lagging behind, but Lan Xuanyu’s arm was very strong and could simply push him forward, so it wasn’t too bad.

However, with the track moving faster, they were basically sprinting on his slope and Qian Lei’s energy depleted quickly. He kept looking at Lan Xuanyu and was extremely regretful. If he had known, he would have trained harder!

Lan Xuanyu still appeared calm and composed. No matter how the track rotated, he simply increased his speed.

“Xuanyu, sometimes I really suspect if you’re even a human! Your stamina is amazing. I feel like if this was a long-range raid, even Frenzie can’t match up to you. We look so bad next to you, eh,” Qian Lei smiled bitterly.

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him askance and said, “If you have the strength to talk, why don’t you put in more effort with your legs? After the end of this test, you better train well, then learn some battle skills that only require the support of Soul Power. Otherwise, even if your ability to summon is very strong in the future, you’ll be in trouble once your opponent attacks you. Also, piloting a mecha or using a Battle Armor requires a strong physique, too. You really need to work harder in this aspect.”
