Chapter 224 Strange Changes of the large tree

Instead of disturbing Lan Xuanyu, Ji Hongbin only focused his attention on him and sensed the changes.

He quickly felt Lan Xuanyu’s temperature change, which was not small at all! His blood and qi gradually became livelier. This was definitely good news.

Compared to Lan Xuanyu, although Qian Lei and Liu Feng showed a response towards life energy, they were much weaker, more or less like ordinary soul masters.

Bing Tianliang was seated in the same row as Lan Xuanyu, but alone horizontally across from him. It was also his first time going to Douluo planet, and after sensing the changes in his body, he turned to look at Lan Xuanyu. In his eyes, the only one worth his attention in the Heaven Luo planet test was Lan Xuanyu.

He noticed that Lan Xuanyu had his eyes closed, as though he was in a state of enjoyment, taking slow, deep breaths.

This guy… was really different from the others.

10 minutes quickly passed as the seatbelts gradually loosened and the broadcast voice resounded again.

“We thank everyone for your cooperation. Welcome to Douluo planet, Douluo Continent’s Ming capital. Ming Capital is the Federation’s capital and the political hub of the entire federation. The city holds over 20 thousand years of history, appointed…”

During the introduction, the passengers all got up, stretched their rigid bodies, and began taking their own luggage. The bigger luggages were checked in.

Lan Xuanyu and his group did not have check-in luggage, having only brought a few clothes since they were only going to be there for the test. Two uniforms and a few undergarments were sufficient. Boys were that simple.

Ji Hongbin stood up and walked over to Lan Xuanyu’s side.

Lan Xuanyu opened his eyes and blurted out, “How nice!”

Ji Hongbin lowered his head and asked him, “What do you feel?”

“There’s extremely thick life energy here, and it feels as though it’s surrounding me and immersing in my body. It’s extremely comfortable; my entire body feels so warm and cozy.”

While saying that, he stood up without showing any signs of rigidness like the other passengers. His entire body was comfortable, and his limbs felt extremely nimble. It was truly a comfortable feeling for him. Even his eyes were brighter than usual.

…

Ripples appeared in the big azure lake. Right in the center of the large lake where dense life energy surged was an extremely large erect pillar that looked as though it had shot right into the sky and into the clouds.

If one looked carefully, they would realize that it was not a structure, but actually an extremely straight tree trunk. It was difficult to distinguish how large the tree was with just the naked eyes, but one would easily notice the faint green and gold light that would occasionally appear on the sepia-colored trunk.

The green and gold lights would even float out of the trunk and onto the water surface from time to time before flying back onto the thick, solid trunk.

Lan Xuanyu and the others had seen how large the 10,000-year Tree Demon was, but compared to the tree in front of them that shot into the clouds with a height of over 3,000 meters, the Tree Demon was basically an ant.

More importantly, a portion of the tree was actually beneath the water surface.

“Buzzz—”

Right then, a strange buzzing sound came from the lake surface. Following that, a ripple was produced around the trunk and it gradually turned into a large wave that spread in all directions.

At the same time, a layer of green and gold rain of light gushed out of the thick tree trunk, where the ‘raindrops’ were, in fact, fist-sized balls of light. They spread outwards and formed a layer of clouds made up of green and gold light, and surged outwards before contracting once again, as though the tree was breathing.

The originally azure wave turned green and gold under the effect of the rain and brought forth rich, unprecedented life energy to the lakeside.

By the lakeside was a simple and unadorned structure that looked to be extremely old, yet there were no marks of damage and only the sturdiness and hardships left by time. One could see how much thought was put in place to construct this structure.

The large wave looked as though it was about to devour the structure when suddenly, a faint gold halo of light surged from the shore and blocked the wave. The large wave immediately recoiled back and collided into the follow-up wave. In time, the azure blue lake became extremely choppy.

More than a dozen figures shot down from the clouds and floated above the choppy lake. They were shocked. “What’s going on?”

One of them was a frowning elder who held his palms together in front of his chest. A faint green halo of light surged out of his body.

The green and gold balls of light in the air hesitated around his body and began emitting excited auras.

“What is going on with the Eternal Tree? Did some problems arise around it? Why would it suddenly unleash a huge wave and such dense life energy? Such an unprecedented life tide!”

That’s right! Something like this had never occurred in historical records. Did something happen? The federation has been constantly decreasing pollution on the mother planet and planting vegetation on a large scale just to protect the environment. Or rather, protect the Eternal Tree. According to reason, there shouldn’t be any reason for any changes in the planet’s energy.

“Everyone, please do not worry. For all we know, it might be a good change. Let Tree Elder perceive it before continuing further.”

A short moment later, the old man opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled expression. “I communicated with the life spirit. It transmitted only elation, as though something extremely good happened to the Eternal Tree. It shouldn’t be a bad thing. Obviously, the life energy has become denser; we should see if it will fall back later.”

Upon hearing his words, the others calmed down.

“So long as it isn’t a bad thing.”

The old man continued. “Contact the Federation headquarters, let them form a new satellite image for us, especially the energy image. Let us see if there are any changes from space perception.”

“Alright.”

…

Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei followed Ji Hongbin down the spaceship. Bing Tianliang was brought down by their teacher as well.

Very quickly, the other passing teams gathered together as well. They came from Heaven Luo planet and naturally came together to participate in joining Shrek Academy.

According to the arrangements, they would not stop at Ming Capital, but instead take a direct flight from the space hub straight to Shrek City, where Shrek Academy was located.

Normally, children who came over to Douluo planet and arrived at the federation’s Ming Capital would be eager to look around. But currently, no one was in such a mood. Ignoring the fact that they were somewhat anxious about the semi-finals, the more important point to them was their journey to Shrek City!

No matter how good Ming Capital was, how could it compare to Shrek Academy? That was the absolute holy land for Soul Masters.

Bing Tianliang glanced at Lan Xuanyu and took the initiative to walk over. “The life energy here is extremely strong and seems to be a suitable place to cultivate. I remember that your martial soul is plant related, you should feel it even more acutely, right?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded his head. “That’s right! It feels extremely great here. If I were to train here, I feel that my speed in cultivation would be much faster.”

The speed at which soul masters cultivate would naturally increase in a location with more origin energy. What Dong Qianqiu had said about the people from Shrek Academy being their strongest opponents now made sense. To cultivate and learn in such an environment would yield more results with half the time.

“Then let us work hard to stay here,” Bing Tianliang said.

Lan Xuanyu looked at him and smiled. “Why do I suddenly feel that your confidence isn’t as strong as before?”

“What about you? Are you plenty confident?”

Lan Xuanyu laughed. “I’m alright. Anyways, my Soul Power is weak. I can only do my best.”

Ling Tian Academy had two other teams aside from Bing Tianliang’s team. There was also Liang Shushi’s team.

At the moment, Liang Shushi’s gaze towards Lan Xuanyu was not too friendly. After all, it was Lan Xuanyu’s team that almost caused her to be disqualified.

Unable to tolerate his words anymore, she spoke up. “Your probability of passing isn’t high at rank 20 odd.”

Lan Xuanyu looked at her, only to find her staring back at him. He could only laugh.

Liang Shushi was stunned when she saw his smile. The only thought in her mind was that his smile was particularly good looking!
