Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

Er Ming said, "The Ice Fire Golden Body! With the current strength of his body, he is far from being able to withstand his future breakthroughs. He must strengthen his body to be able to endure the continuous increase in his bloodline power. Although he has already done very well until now, there are still many hidden dangers. Every breakthrough in the future will be dangerous. It's better for him to stay here and cultivate and break through."

Ice Fire Golden Body Tempering ? What is that? Lan Xuanyu was confused.

Lin Mohua was taken aback. "Ice Fire Golden Body Tempering? Won't it be dangerous? How can he withstand the Yin Yang Spring?"

"It's alright, he can handle it. You guys don't know the origin of his bloodline. The level of his bloodline, even in the Divine Realm…" At this point, he stopped and sighed. "But this is the first time I've seen such a bloodline. He might be the descendant of an old friend of mine."

Elder Shu narrowed his eyes. "Ancient bloodline?"

Er Ming nodded and said, "You can put it that way. Furthermore, it is the result of two extremely powerful ancient bloodlines fusing together. These two bloodlines conflict with each other, but if they are truly able to fuse, he will be very, very strong, and we…"

At this point, Er Ming seemed to have realized something as he squinted his eyes and said, "In any case, it's very good for him to stay here and cultivate. Of course, it would be even better if it was the Tang Sect's Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Perhaps, only by staying there would he be able to cultivate to nine-ring safely. With us, he should be able to reach the seven-ring at least."

Lin Mohua's heart stirred. "What about after nine-ring? Can he continue to improve ?"

Er Ming shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. At that time, he can only rely on himself. It's fine if he doesn't break through, but once he does… hehe."

He suddenly smiled, giving off a strange feeling as though his passion had been ignited.

"I won't tell you what you guys don't understand. Anyway, he will be very powerful. Let him stay." Er Ming clenched his fists excitedly.

Lan Xuanyu said, "Senior, I understand your kind intentions. I really want to stay and cultivate, but I'm a student of Shrek Academy and there are many other students who came with me. I still have many missions to complete and I'm afraid I can't stay and cultivate. You see…"

Er Ming was stunned. "Although Shrek Academy is good, the effect of your training there is definitely not as good as here. Also, if you want to break through, there is no place more suitable for you. Most importantly, you must strengthen your body as soon as possible. But Shrek Academy has no problem. Oh right, Little Shu, you mentioned that he is the successor of your School of Life?"

Elder Shu nodded. "Yes."

Er Ming burst out laughing all of a sudden. "That's right, that's right then. I knew I wouldn't be wrong. How could I be wrong about the bloodline aura of my own people? It seems like she recognized it too, there is no problem if she recognized him too. Nothing can go wrong. It's good to cultivate in Shrek, but since you're here, you should stay for a longer time. I'll help you strengthen your body."

Lan Xuanyu looked at Er Ming and also felt a sense of intimacy. This was a natural feeling.

When Lin Mohua threatened him previously, he believed him but Er Ming gave him the feeling that he would never harm him.

"Senior Er Ming, how long do I have to stay here to cultivate?"

Er Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "It will take at least a month for it to be effective. We'll wait for a month to reach the initial phase. Before you reach seven-ring, you'll have to come every year for a month. This will be more dependable."

A month? Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and hesitated.

Elder Shu replied without hesitation, "No problem, it's settled then. Thank you, senior." As he spoke, he gave Lan Xuanyu a look as though this was a rare good thing.

Lan Xuanyu was thinking about the time he had left to complete the Sky Fighter missions with his teammates. He couldn't slow down the entire team because of him!

"Senior, I am currently doing Sky Fighter missions with my teammates and must complete a sufficient number of missions. One month is…"

Elder Shu interrupted him. "One month is nothing. Also, I'll help you apply and reduce the difficulty of your missions so that you have time."

"Alright." How could Lan Xuanyu not understand how highly Elder Shu thought of senior Er Ming's teachings? Hence, he agreed without hesitation.

"Senior, I'm here to spar with the seniors from the branch. Once we're done, I'll come and find you for cultivation, alright?" Lan Xuanyu said to Er Ming.

"Oh? You're representing Shrek Academy to spar? Weren't the Sky Fighter missions supposed to be completed by the sixth years? Why are you still doing those missions when you're graduating?"

Lan Xuanyu was secretly surprised. This senior Er Ming seemed to be very familiar with Shrek Academy!

"No, I'm still in my fourth year. This time, we're representing the academy," Lan Xuanyu said.

Er Ming looked at him meaningfully. "That's true. With you around, it doesn't matter if you're still in your fourth year. Alright, I'll go take a look and see how you perform. You don't have to pick anything, you can look at what you want to eat when you come back to cultivate. Your school will give you one, and we will give you one as well. Coincidentally, both ice and fire come from the same source, and we will allow you to refine an Ice Fire Golden Body. It's settled then."

After speaking, Er Ming took a deep look at Lan Xuanyu as though he wanted to imprint Lan Xuanyu's appearance into the depths of his mind. Then, a yellow light flashed on his body and he soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing him leave, Lan Xuanyu whispered to Elder Shu, "Elder Shu, is senior Er Ming a Beast King?"

If even Elder Shu had to call Er Ming senior, then he was definitely not human.

"Yes, senior Er Ming is one of the two great Beast Kings of Sen Luo Planet. He has a very close relationship with our Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. You must know that he is a close friend of Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect. His seniority is much higher than ours. His original form is the Titan Giant Ape. It is said that he once ascended to the Divine Realm with our ancestor Tang San and later returned to the Mother Planet for some reason. Ten thousand years ago, he and another senior established the independent space of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and revived the extinct soul beast lineage. After the Mother Planet evolved, the soul beasts were able to recuperate in that independent space. Knowing that the Federation obtained Sen Luo Planet, he discussed with the Federation and moved his soul beast lineage here. So, the strongest soul beast is not Elven Planet's Di Tian, but the two seniors here. To be able to obtain senior Er Ming's favor, you will surely obtain  great benefits. I didn't expect that your bloodline would be so acknowledged by senior Er Ming."

Lan Xuanyu asked, "What is an Ice Fire Golden Body Tempering?"

Lin Mohua said, "You will cultivate in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and use the power of ice and fire to temper yourself."

"Ah?" Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. He was still a distance away from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well but he could already feel the extreme cold and heat. He was also able to manipulate both water and fire elements and knew very well what effect these two opposing elements would produce when used together.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. If Er Ming's senior said that it's fine, then it's fine. He should have a special method. Under normal circumstances, only those who are about to break through to god rank would be allowed to cultivate in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, temper their body into the Ice Fire Golden Body, and prepare for the breakthrough. You're definitely an exception."

When he returned to his residence, Lan Xuanyu still felt that it was very strange. He had just arrived at the Sen Luo Planet and he had already experienced so many things: Lin Mohua's test, the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and the god-rank Beast King Er Ming.
