Just as the final syllable of Xiao Hongchen’s words was still hanging in the air, a sudden anomaly occurred!
Meng Hongchen had just leapt lightly from beside Fu Yu, her exquisite face still adorned with a bright smile, revealing the girl’s joy at that moment.
Suddenly, Meng Hongchen’s beautiful red hair, resembling grape wine, faded to a frost-white color at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a faint blue glimmer circulating between the strands.
A chilling cold, accompanied by an eruption of spirit power, swept through the entire study room, instantly causing dense ice crystals and white frost to form on the workbench and the surrounding Soul Engineer lamps.
Even more bizarrely, the girl’s exposed skin did not turn pale blue from the low temperature; instead, it revealed an extremely abnormal flush.
That was not the faint crimson of a girl in love, but an ominous scarlet, like that of a patient with a high fever.
This was particularly evident on Meng Hongchen; in this environment of rapidly dropping temperatures, wisps of white mist steamed off her body, and the two Spirit lights of ice blue and scarlet clashed violently beneath her skin.
“Ugh…” Before she could step back, Meng Hongchen suddenly closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembling violently, and she collapsed backward like a puppet with cut strings.
“What is this!” Seeing this, Fu Yu hurriedly pulled Meng Hongchen’s trembling body into his arms.
Through her thin clothing, he could clearly feel the terrifying tug-of-war taking place inside the girl’s body.
The ice and fire attributes within Meng Hongchen were using her body as a battlefield, interacting continuously and crazily.
After a flash of red representing the fire attribute passed over her soft body, it instantly manifested as the blue-white of the ice attribute.
But because a large amount of the ice attribute was concentrated in her head, while the fire attribute wandered through her entire body and limbs, Meng Hongchen could clearly feel the intense pain coming from within herself at this moment.
Alternating between scorching heat and freezing cold, hardly anyone could endure it.
While hugging Meng Hongchen tightly, Fu Yu looked up at Xiao Hongchen, who was still standing to the side with wide eyes, clearly having not yet reacted, and shouted: “Xiao Hongchen, what are you still standing there for!” Xiao Hongchen, who had been standing there in a daze, was instantly awakened by Fu Yu’s shout.
Looking at his suffering sister, he stammered: “Meng…
Meng, it seems like her Spirit is experiencing backlash.
Our Hongchen Family…
there are records within the Family.” “Because the ice and fire attributes within the Zhuqing Ice Toad Spirit are unbalanced but exist simultaneously in the body, Spirit Masters with this Spirit will suffer from backlash from time to time.” “Then what are you still standing there for?
Hurry up and go find Dean Jing Hongchen!” Fu Yu roared at Xiao Hongchen again.
This kid is usually quite shrewd; why is he acting so dull and foolish now, unable to distinguish what’s important?
Is now the time to explain to him how Meng Hongchen ended up like this?
The most important thing right now is to help Meng Hongchen resolve this backlash.
Reminded by Fu Yu, Xiao Hongchen instantly realized what a foolish thing he was doing.
Pale gold spirit power surged around his body, and he opened the door and rushed out of the study room, leaving behind only a sentence that gradually faded away.
“Right, Brother Yu, please look after Meng.
I’m going to find Grandfather now and will be back soon.” Fu Yu stared fixedly at Xiao Hongchen’s hurriedly departing back.
A stream of crimson-gold spirit power flashed across his hand, and he instantly closed the door that had been opened.
Several drops of golden-red molten steel dripped quietly from behind the door.
Upon meeting the low-temperature white mist filling the air, they steamed out more white vapor, emitting a few harsh ‘hissing’ sounds.
This scene showed just how agitated Fu Yu was at this moment; he couldn’t even control the high temperature of his Ultimate Fire.
Looking at the painful expression of Meng Hongchen in his arms, Fu Yu felt anxious.
He did not know how long such pain would last.
He had deeply experienced just how large the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy was over these past few days.
When would Xiao Hongchen, with his Spirit Master level strength, be able to find Jing Hongchen?
Would it be in the Dean’s office or the workshop in Mingde Hall?
And once found, when would Jing Hongchen be able to rush over?
At this moment, a faint, thread-like call came from Meng Hongchen in Fu Yu’s arms.
However, it was truly too faint, so much so that Fu Yu hadn’t heard it clearly, and he had to whisper a question into Meng Hongchen’s ear.
“Meng, what are you saying?” This time, Meng Hongchen’s voice was a little louder: “Ah Yu!” “I’m here!” Fu Yu answered hurriedly.
“Ah Yu, I’m in so much pain!” The girl’s almost inaudible words, trembling with pain, reached Fu Yu’s ears.
And her trembling body kept burrowing into Fu Yu’s warm embrace, subconsciously seeking the only reliance by her side.
Listening to the girl’s painful words in his arms and feeling her body trembling involuntarily from the pain, Fu Yu felt extremely anxious as well.
He didn’t know how to alleviate the Spirit backlash on the Douluo Continent, nor did he know what secrets the Zhuqing Ice Toad of the Hongchen Family held.
The inherited Remembrance did indeed mention that Meng Hongchen’s Zhuqing Ice Toad had backlash issues; that was only after the future tournament, when Meng Hongchen had mastered the two deadly poisons of cold and fire through her own talent.
But now, Meng Hongchen was only a Spirit Master; how could she have that kind of strength from the future?
At this moment, the powerful ice and fire attributes within her body, along with the derived cold poison and fire poison, were like they had gone berserk, rampaging disorderly through her Meridians and flesh, difficult to contain.
Just then, a flash of inspiration seemed to cross Fu Yu’s mind.
Whether it was the Spirit backlash from the attributes going berserk or the two deadly poisons of ice and fire losing control, the fundamental cause of everything was that the Spirit Master had not mastered their own body, which was why such things happened.
And the Sword Heart Art within Fu Yu, or rather, the Taixu Sword Qi, was the supreme martial arts Cultivation Technique of the Honkai Divine Land.
Its control over True Qi or spirit power was extremely strong, far surpassing the control of the so-called meditation techniques of the Douluo Continent by an unknown margin.
In terms of the degree of violence and danger, the toxins running wild in Meng Hongchen’s body were not even comparable to a single hair when compared to Honkai Energy.
And if Meng Hongchen could freely control the ice and fire spirit power wandering in her body, perhaps she would no longer suffer from this state.
Thinking of this, Fu Yu immediately leaned down close to Meng Hongchen’s ear and asked in a whisper.
“Meng, can you hear me?” The next moment, the pale-faced Meng Hongchen nodded her head slightly in his arms, signaling to Fu Yu that she could hear him.
“Alright then, Meng, in a moment, do not resist.
I will channel my spirit power into your body and lead your spirit power to begin circulating.” Meng Hongchen nodded again, her pale, pretty face furrowed.
Seeing Meng Hongchen agree, Fu Yu did not hesitate any longer.
His lips parted slightly, the Fenghuang Down in his Sea of Consciousness shone faintly, and the four hundred and more sounds of the Sword Heart Art began to resonate.
It was as if they were being called out from Fu Yu’s mouth, yet also as if they were echoing directly within the Sea of Consciousness.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
