Chapter 144: The Dao of Water and Fire

His cultivation and growth in Soul Power was already slow, and having to cultivate more than others was already a matter that weighed on him. With even more problems with his Soul skill, how could he not feel depressed? He was, after all, still an 11-year-old kid!

Nana revealed a shocked expression as well as she looked at Lan Xuanyu inconceivably. She gradually raised her own right hand. A blaze of flames suddenly erupted from her palm and gradually congealed into a flaming ball that floated above her palm.

Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt all the fire element particles in the air being pulled toward Nana, while the light of flame on his own Blue Silver Grass became weaker.

His eyes widened as he stared at Nana with dumbstruckness. Teacher Nana, you you can control the fire element as well?

Nana looked at him with the same look. I initially had my suspicions about your bloodline as well as why I feel so close to you. From the current looks of it, my guess should be accurate. Our bloodlines, or I should say, a part of your bloodline is extremely similar to mine, to the extent that they might be the same. Your second soul ring seems to confirm this conjecture.

Lan Xuanyu stared at her in a daze. Teacher Nana, what is your bloodline?

Nana laughed bitterly. I dont remember that. I dont remember anything. Im also clueless as to where the power in my body comes from. I only have a vague knowledge on what power I can use. In the past few years since I have lost my memories, my strength is slowly coming back to me. Yet my memories seem to remain covered in dust. I did not think that someone like you, who has the same bloodline as me, would appear. Maybe it was because of the aura from your bloodline within your body that attracted me to you when we met the very first time. That is why I feel so familiar to you. IF that is the case, I know how I can continue guiding you. No one is better suited to be your teacher than me.

Lan Xuanyu immediately nodded his head, he had personally witnessed Teacher Nanas strength before! He felt that it was extremely great knowing she had control over the fire element as well.

Teacher Nana, what should I do? Lan Xuanyu looked at her with anticipation.

Teacher Nana said, Its not a bad thing to have control over both water and fire. The most important thing is how you use them. Youre right, fire and water are incompatible and they subdue each other, but that does not mean that it is impossible for them to assist each other. For example, this.

While saying that, she raised her left hand and shot out a water droplet towards the flame in her right hand. Just then, the blaze suddenly intensified as though becoming more violent than before.

When the flame reaches a certain degree and encounters a weaker water element, the flame will actually increase. Flames are destined to be violent, while the water element is a variable. Conversely, if the water element is strong enough and a fire element is introduced, steam will be produced. This produces all sorts of peculiar changes. Thus, fire and water are not always contradicting. If used correctly, it can instead produce unique results.

Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, But what is the right way to use them?

Nana replied in a serious tone. You will have to comprehend that yourself. Try it. While saying that, she took a step forward and placed a hand over his shoulder.

With a flicker of silver light, the two disappeared.

Lan Xuanyu felt slight dizziness as everything around him changed. Following that, a cold wind blew against his body. To his shock, he discovered that he was standing in space.

Everything around them was pitch black, with starlight around them, and there was a big patch of cloud beneath his feet.

This

How did Teacher Nana do this? How did she teleport them into the sky in an instant?

Xuanyu, watch. Nana raised her right hand and produced a water ball in her palm.

Lan Xuanyu immediately focused.

The water ball was faint blue and exceptionally distinct within the pitch-black background. He watched as the water ball started to revolve as it turned into a whirlpool with a hole in the center. More accurately speaking, the water ball started floating and compressing under the rapid whirlpool. This seemed to be water element compression?

Following the increase in his Spiritual Power, Lan Xuanyu gained his own insights with regards to elemental control. He was able to understand Nanas intent in slowing down her actions.

With a flick of her hand, the rapidly revolving water ball floated in the air. In her empty palm, a fireball appeared and began revolving as well. Lan Xuanyu discovered that the fireball was revolving in the opposite direction of the water ball, only it was not hollow in the middle, but instead shrinking in size. The fireball quickly turned from bright red to dark red.

Nana pointed forward and used an unknown method to guide the fireball straight into the water ball. The two spun at high revolutions, yet they did not collide with each other.

The heat from the fire element naturally affected the water element. Very quickly, steam started to emit from the interior of the water ball.

WIth a fling of her hand, the dual elemental ball flew outwards. After flying past a distance of 10 meters, it suddenly detonated as the red and blue light exploded. Everything within a diameter of 10 meters was enveloped by the explosion.

The fire element became even more berserk, at the same time bringing forth a sense of frightening saturation.

So we can utilize the fire and water element this way? Lan Xuanyu questioned himself but knew that he was unable to achieve such a result with his control ability. The crucial thing was that he never thought that combining the two contradicting elements in such a way would produce such a result. This truly was

Although combining and yielding such a result of the fire and water elements is many times more difficult than other elements, it is second only to the merging of the elements darkness and light. However, if used well, it produces the strongest effect. And again, it is second only to darkness and light. No one can teach you this, because it requires your own comprehension of the true essence of both elements to accomplish a merger. There isnt any technique to it, only the familiarization and comprehension between the person and the elements, Nana lectured earnestly.

Lan Xuanyu nodded his head hurriedly. He knew that Nana was reminding him and not guiding him. The scene that occurred a moment ago was already extremely important to him.

With a flicker of silver light, the two disappeared. The space that they were standing on was immediately met with a wave of energy the instant they disappeared.

When he felt the tangible ground beneath his feet, Lan Xuanyu discovered that they were back in the training room. Of course, he had no idea how Nana had accomplished the feat.

Teacher Nana, was that the space element? Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.

En. Nana nodded her head. If your bloodline is truly similar to mine, then in the future, after gaining more soul rings, you will most probably gain control over another element. Sooner or later, you will have control over the space element as well.

Lan Xuanyu looked at her in astonishment. Control over the space element? Teacher Nana, how many elements can you control?

Nana gave him a smile and drew an arc with her right hand. In that instant, different balls of light appeared before him.

Lan Xuanyu was naturally most familiar with the blue ball of light as it brimmed with the water element. Beside the blue ball of light was a red fireball that represented the fire element. There was a green ball of light that was extremely lively. Was it wind?

The yellow element was most probably earth. The silver ball was so pretty and had the same sensation as when they were teleporting, so it should be the space element. The gold ball should be the light element that brimmed with warmth and holiness. The dark purple ball should be the rarely seen darkness element.

Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space. This was crazy, Teacher Nana was actually able to control seven elements at the same time.

This scene left Lan Xuanyu at a loss for words. This made him realize the great disparity between him and Teacher Nana.
