Chapter 47: Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens

Teacher Nana, youre a bully! Lan Xuanyu wiped his face and looked upset.

Nana already carried him up and he straightened up once again. Youre the one who mounted a sneak attack on me first, how did I bully you, huh?

Lan Xuanyu sneered. Your Spirit Power is so strong, isnt this bullying?

Nana burst out laughing. You should work hard to become stronger then! But youve basically learned the rudiments of the footwork already. If you want to improve further, you will need more Spirit Power to support it and Ive already taught you the way to do it. We can start learning something new today.

Learn what? Lan Xuanyu got interested the moment she said that they would be learning new things.

Nana then said, Well learn an ancient martial art skill. You have a pretty good control over the water elements already and your strength will increase along with your increase in Spirit Power in the future. There is footwork for close combat fights so at least you wouldnt be at a disadvantage but youre still lacking some close combat attacking skills. You have the Twin Spirits and you will be working to coordinate both of them, namely, the water elements and the forces within you. With your current Spirit Power, youre still far from being able to control them so you have to learn some simpler combat techniques first.

Sure, sure! Every boy likes to attack. During these few months, Lan Xuanyu had been learning his footwork from Nana every time and although it was interesting, it wasnt as aggressive as the other combat skills.

Teacher Nana, what combat techniques are you going to teach me? Lan Xuanyu asked eagerly.

Nana thought about it and said, I think this combat technique is called Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens?

You dont really remember? Lan Xuanyu was a little curious.

Nana nodded and smiled bitterly. I dont remember it very clearly but this should be the name of it. Lets go to the cultivation room.

Nana directly carried Lan Xuanyu into the cultivation room before putting him down. She closed the door and activated the interior defense system.

The marvelous thing about the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens is that it would incite the energy within your blood, supplemented by your Spirit Power and the force in your blood vessels. Its pretty much like mobilizing the power of your entire body in one go. With your current Spirit Power, youre still far from being able to use its full version, but I can teach you how to operate it. Since you dont have enough Spirit Power, youll be using its weakened version for now.

Teacher Nana, teach me, quick! Lan Xuanyu was very interested in this ancient combat technique just by hearing its name.

Remember the changes in your body later. Nana squatted behind Lan Xuanyu, placing her right hand on his back and the gentle Spirit and Spiritual Power slowly entered his body.

This technique would cause your blood to flow backwards! Nanas voice resounded and after that, everything became blurry before Lan Xuanyus eyes as he fell into the spiritual world. A persons body appeared in his consciousness with the exact same build as him.

He could clearly see the change in the direction of this persons blood flow as well as the change of his condition. Just at this moment, he felt a warm sensation rising in his body all of a sudden and the blood that was flowing slowly just now had some changes to it.

A piercing pain immediately went through his entire body and there was also a stifling feeling, it was a pain that was hard for him to describe. Nevertheless, his mind was very awake and he could see that the blood flow in that body was moving in a different direction.

The pain intensified instantly. Lan Xuanyu wanted to scream but he couldnt find his voice and his entire body had a stinging sensation. It was also at this moment that he suddenly felt his body heating up as if he was set on fire.

He lifted his right hand subconsciously. The reversed flow of his blood brought about a special force. His blood was flowing in a different direction but the warmth that he felt after that change went to his right hand.

Just at this very moment, everything before him became crystal clear. Lan Xuanyu was surprised to see that the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass had covered his right arm. Whats scarier was that his right hand appeared to be swollen. His fist seems to be larger than normal and the golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass seemed to have ingrained itself in his skin to cover his arm in diamond shaped golden scales.

Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens! Nanas voice came from behind him and all he felt was an invisible force that controlled the heat in his body and flushed it all toward his right hand.

A faint layer of golden glow appeared around him immediately and there was a low cry coming from his right palm. The air around them became more solemn and a golden light spurt out of his palm; it was faintly discernible and it seemed like it had a shape of a dragons head.

Bang! The golden ray of light attacked the target that was a meter ahead before letting out a deep roar.

The entire cultivation room shook slightly and after this attack was shot out, Lan Xuanyu felt as if his body was completely emptied. His body turned soft and his blood flow returned to normal.

The gentle Spirit Power flowed from his singlet like an endless stream into his body, helping him recover what he had used up previously.

Can you feel it? The change in direction of your blood flow will incite the power in your blood vessels and when this force combines with your Spirit Power, it will exert a stronger attack than usual. This Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens is a combat technique for you and it can also be a method of cultivation at the same time. This is because when youre using it, you could stimulate the power in your blood vessels and nourish your body to strengthen your meridians. After careful consideration, I think this is the best way to train you at the moment.

Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, Teacher Nana, what is the power in my blood vessels?

Nana went blank. Im not too sure either but I think it seems to fit in well with this. At this point, she knitted her brows. Actually, this cultivation method, the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens, only surfaced in her head two days ago. She wanted to recall more about it, but she just couldnt think of a specific situation.

Lets continue, you must try your best to feel the change in the flow of your blood. In the first ten times, I will help you change the direction of your blood and you must remember its routes. Then, you will rely on yourself to practice and I will protect you to prevent any accidents.

Alright!

Nanas strongest suit was actually protecting. If others tried practicing this Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens, lets not talk about whether or not they would be able to succeed. It consumes too much Spirit Power to practice with and of course, it takes a lot of time before someone could use it again. But with her around, Lan Xuanyu would be able to practice continuously and he wouldnt have to worry about being possessed by the devil because Nana would always protect him from any danger. Practicing like that would naturally allow him to be faster.

After Lan Xuanyu experienced the power of the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens, he was overflowing with enthusiasm and the day passed unknowingly. Also, he had two meals of the precious ingredients because Nana believed that he used up quite a bit of vital energy and blood while practicing that skill so he needed to replenish his body with more nutrients.

The next morning, when Lan Xuanyu climbed out of bed, he suddenly felt sore all over his body and despite that, his body felt warm which gave him an indescribable feeling of comfort. As he practiced the technique the entire day yesterday, Nana didnt ask him to meditate at night and allowed him to relax and rest properly by sleeping.

Lan Xuanyu stretched, his bones creaked a little and he jumped off the bed. When both his feet landed on the floor, there was a boom which gave him a scare too.

Did I become heavier?

Xuanyu, are you awake yet? Its time for breakfast. Nan Chengs voice came from outside.

Mommy, Im up. Can I go out to play after having my breakfast? He was especially happy when he thought about being able to go out to play today.

En, have your breakfast first though.

His breakfast was naturally made from ingredients that were high in nutrition. After he gorged himself, Lan Xuanyu couldnt wait to go out.

You guys go ahead, I will stay at home. Nana smiled and touched Lan Xuanyus head.

Ah? Teacher Nana, youre not going? Come along with us. Lan Xuanyu said reluctantly.

Nana then smiled. Go play with Mommy, I want to think of what to teach you next.
