Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

812 – The School Of Life’s Secret (First Part)

The spaceship flew steadily in space. Lan Xuanyu sat upright and still beside Elder Shu, listening to Elder Shu tell him about the School of Life.

Although Elder Shu had long decided that he was the successor of the School of Life, he really didn’t have much time to communicate with Elder Shu.

Elder Shu smiled and said: “Since I have the opportunity to come out with you this time, I will tell you about our School of Life.”

“Our School of Life was established on the day Eternal Sky City was established. In fact, our biggest role is to be in contact with the Eternal Tree. At the same time, we protect the Eternal Tree and the life source of our Mother Planet. This is also the most important duty of our School of Life. “

“The School of Life only has one criterion for recruiting newcomers, and that is life affinity. Everyone has their own life force. The strength of life force often determines a person’s physical state, and the amount of life force determines a person’s lifespan. The so-called life affinity is the degree to which one’s life force resonates with the life force of the outside world. “

“Normally speaking, the life force of an ordinary person can’t resonate with the life force of the outside world. There are many sources of life force in the outside world. Soul beasts have life force, plants have life force. Even rare metals that have undergone high-grade forging may have their own life force. Life affinity refers to our ability to have affinity with the life force of the outside world, to be able to resonate with it, and even absorb it, as well as stimulate it to improve ourselves. “

“The reason why you were chosen is because your Life Affinity Physique is something we’ve never seen before. You have an almost homogenous affinity with the life force of the outside world, especially the life force of the plant system. That’s why you can absorb such a huge amount of life force from the outside world. “

“Let me give you an example. Ordinary students can also feel the life energy of Sea God Lake when they cultivate in our academy, and can also feel the life force from the Eternal Tree. However, this huge life force will only have a subtle influence on their life force. It is absolutely impossible for them to be like you, where you don’t have to do anything at all, and the life energy will naturally surround you, or even take the initiative to join your body. You may be used to it by now, but I have to tell you that you are very different from others in this regard. Even I can feel very comfortable by your side. This is the natural attraction of life energy. When I’m with you, your life affinity will make my nearly exhausted life force feel rejuvenated. “

Lan Xuanyu listened to Elder Shu’s explanation, and for the first time, he truly understood Life Affinity.

Elder Shu continued, “Life affinity is the foundation. With such a strong Life Affinity Physique, your future is limitless. Although your Martial Soul is special and is difficult to cultivate, you must believe in your own foundation. What’s more, not only do you have Life Affinity, but you also have Elemental Affinity. Such a unique constitution is something that has never been recorded in history, let alone seen before. The reason why it’s so difficult for you to increase your cultivation might also be related to this. After all, when Heaven opens a door for you, it is very likely that it will close a window for you. “

Lan Xuanyu didn’t say that it was because of the conflict between his two bloodlines that made it difficult for him to increase his cultivation. In fact, the increase of his soul power was also relatively slow. What Elder Shu said was very likely true. Because of his Life Affinity Physique, and also because of his special body, a lot of the energy absorbed during the process of cultivation was actually absorbed by his body and not converted into soul power. This was so that his body could withstand the strength of his bloodline.

Lan Xuanyu felt this especially clearly in the past one or two years. With the help of the Treasure Seeking Beast, he had eaten many good things, and also had the nourishment of the Chaos Water. During this process, he discovered that his body had actually absorbed a lot of energy. With so much energy, if all of it was used on soul power, his soul power would have broken through long ago.

However, it was also because of this that the strength of his body continued to increase. Perhaps it was because he had accumulated a lot of energy, but now, even he didn’t have an accurate estimate of how strong his body was. After all, after the fifth and sixth year, the academy wouldn’t do a basic physical test. The only standard to measure his strength was that he had undergone a test with Qian Lei.

In terms of strength, the current Lan Xuanyu wasn’t inferior to Qian Lei’s bonded Golden Behemoth in the slightest. Furthermore, this was under the premise that Qian Lei had transformed into his human form.

Only his friends knew just how powerful Lan Xuanyu was in this aspect. Furthermore, his regenerative abilities were also extremely strong, and he almost didn’t know what fatigue was.

When he practiced forging, he never stopped because his body was exhausted. This was because he didn’t feel tired at all. He would only stop forging when his mind couldn’t take it anymore. His immense strength and continuous energy were the only things that had allowed him to reach the pinnacle of a sixth-rank blacksmith in just a few short years. His success rate for Spirit Forging was extremely high now, and this was under the circumstances of Fuse Forging. He was only one step away from becoming a true Grandmaster, and he would be able to forge soul refined metals.

If it weren’t for the upcoming graduation exam, Lan Xuanyu really wanted to make a breakthrough in Soul Forging. With his accumulation, as long as he had the guidance of an expert, a breakthrough would be a natural process.

Therefore, Lan Xuanyu was no longer worried about the slow progress of his cultivation over the past two years. It was completely different from when he first entered Shrek. The continuous improvement of his physical fitness greatly made up for the problem of his soul power. He was already seventeen years old now, and he knew more and had more ideas than before. Accumulating more was definitely not a bad thing for him.

The best age for a normal soul master to cultivate and improve was before the age of thirty. However, Lan Xuanyu felt that even if he was older, the speed of his improvement wouldn’t decrease. Although he only had four rings now, he was indeed not inferior to an ordinary seven-ring soul sage. With the combination of his various characteristics, he still had an important position in the team.

Elder Shu said, “Our School of Life is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the Mother Planet, so we have a very special position in the Federation. I’m also a member of the Federation, which you might not know. After you take over in the future, you will also inherit this position. Our position is permanent, so we don’t need to go through an election. Also, you can enter the Sea God’s Pavilion in the academy. Because you are young, you might only be an ordinary member when you enter the Sea God’s Pavilion in the future. But as your strength increases and your contributions increase, you should be able to become a deputy pavilion master. This is all given to you by the School of Life. “

At this point, Elder Shu’s expression suddenly became serious. “However, you also have to bear the responsibility of the School of Life. First, you have to protect the Eternal Tree. The Eternal Tree is the source of life of the entire Mother Planet, raising the Mother Planet to god-rank. Within the Federation, who knows how many people covet the Eternal Tree’s immense life force. If it weren’t for the academy’s protection, who knows what would have happened. And we are in charge of protecting the Eternal Tree in the academy. “

“Internal conflicts are easier to deal with. After all, those people only want to use the Eternal Tree. But it’s different when they come from the outside. With the Federation’s interstellar colonization, we have already touched the interests of some old and powerful forces. The war has always been going on, but it’s all in a far away galaxy, so the people aren’t aware of it. After so many years, these forces from the outside world have long known the significance of our Eternal Tree to the Federation, so there have been several powerhouses who have come to the Mother Planet in an attempt to destroy our Eternal Tree. Therefore, we are duty-bound to protect the Eternal Tree. Even if we have to pay with our lives, we must protect it well. It is the core of the entire Federation. “
