"I felt that my Bloodline Power could suppress Soul Beasts. It might even have a certain suppressive effect on Soul Masters with Beast Martial Souls.

"I felt that my Dragon Martial Soul was the highest-level one, something never seen before in history. I named it the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul.

"Ancestral Dragon, the ancestor of dragons!"

Nan Xuanyu could only explain it that way.

"You brat... you really dared to say that!"

Nana pinched Nan Xuanyu's plump, elastic cheek.

"But it does sound pretty domineering!"

Yet at that moment, Nana inexplicably felt a trace of aversion in her heart.

But it quickly vanished again.

"Now I'm certain that half of your soul skills are the same as mine.

"I think that from your first soul skill to your ninth, they'll probably all be Element Control.

"Those strength-type soul skills are something extra that you possess.

"As long as you work twice as hard, your future achievements will definitely be limitless.

"You brat, you're simply amazing!"

Nan Xuanyu had rested enough. Nana pulled him to his feet and asked, "You should know that water and fire are incompatible. But in truth, if used properly, they can still coexist. Have you tried it before?"

Nan Xuanyu shook his head. "I haven't tried it. I came to Heaven Dou Star this time specifically to ask for your guidance!"

Nana nodded. "Under normal circumstances, water and fire truly are incompatible. But while they restrain each other, it doesn't mean they can't also promote each other. For example, like this."

As she spoke, a flame appeared in her right hand.

She raised her left hand and flicked out a spray of water droplets. With a soft puff, they fell into the flame in her right hand.

At once, the flames gave off a sizzling sound and burned even more fiercely.

The flame grew several times larger than before.

"Did you see that? The flame in my right hand is far stronger than the Water Element.

"At this time, the Water Element acts as fuel.

"If the Water Element is strong enough and the Fire Element is contained within it, it can cause the Water Element to produce steam and create all kinds of strange changes.

"So, when used well, the mutual restraint between water and fire can become mutual enhancement."

Nan Xuanyu nodded. "That balance point must be very difficult to grasp!"

Nana smiled. "You'll need to comprehend that for yourself!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and took Nan Xuanyu's hand. Silver light flashed, and the two vanished into thin air.

After a moment of disorientation, Nan Xuanyu discovered that everything had changed.

He and Nana had appeared in the dark skies, where the cold wind howled.

Specks of starlight lingered around them, while a vast expanse of clouds lay beneath their feet.

"Watch carefully!"

Nana raised her right hand, and a pale blue Water Ball appeared in her palm.

Under her control, the Water Ball began to rotate slowly.

Very soon, a vortex formed inside it, gradually hollowing out as it compressed at high speed.

With a flick of Nana's wrist, the rapidly spinning Water Ball floated in the air.

A Fire Ball appeared in her palm. It spun rapidly in the exact opposite direction of the Water Ball, slowly contracting inward.

Soon, its fiery red color turned dark crimson.

Nana lightly flicked her slender hand, sending the Fire Ball directly into the Water Ball.

The two spun at high speed without touching each other.

Soon, the intense heat of the Fire Element caused a layer of mist to form inside the Water Ball.

She flicked her hand, and the two-colored elemental sphere shot more than twenty meters away in an instant.

A mass of red-and-blue light exploded with a thunderous boom.

The clouds within a twenty-meter radius were blasted apart.

Nan Xuanyu knew that elements could be used in combination.

But although he had tried before, he had never succeeded. He simply could not achieve Nana's level.

The power of combined elemental attacks was not just a little stronger. It was absurdly stronger.

"Did you see? As long as you use them properly and find that balance point, combining the Water Element and Fire Element can produce several times, or even dozens of times, the enhancement. The power is immense.

"However, you need to experiment and comprehend it for yourself before you can completely fuse the two.

"There are actually no tricks to this. It depends on whether you're familiar enough with them."

Nana withdrew the two elements, returned to Nan Xuanyu's side, and took his hand again. Silver light flashed, and the two disappeared into thin air.

When his feet touched solid ground again, Nan Xuanyu realized that they had returned to the cultivation room.

Shock filled the depths of his eyes. As expected of Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King. She could vanish into the void in an instant and return in an instant. She was so powerful.

When would he be able to do the same?

That should have been the Space Element.

"Do you also want an ability like mine?"

Seeing the shock on Nan Xuanyu's face, Nana smiled faintly and asked.

"Yes. This should be the Space Element, right?" Nan Xuanyu asked.

"Yes." Nana nodded. "If your bloodline is truly very similar to mine, then every time you obtain a soul ring, you'll gain an Element Control ability.

"Soon, you'll have Space Element Control as well. When that happens, you'll be able to come and go freely too."

As she spoke, Nana drew an arc in front of her with her right hand.

Immediately, spheres of light appeared one after another.

"Blue is the Water Element, red is the Fire Element, cyan is the Wind Element, yellow is the Earth Element, silver is the Space Element, gold is the Light Element, and dark purple is the Dark Element.

"Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space—one day, you will control all seven elements as well.

"From now on, what you need to do is become proficient with every element you possess and comprehend their true essence.

"You'll have to do that yourself. I can't teach you, because everyone's comprehension is different. If I make you practice step by step according to my methods, you'll never truly become strong."

Nan Xuanyu nodded. That was indeed true.

After that, Nana taught Nan Xuanyu some practical tips on using the elements.

At the same time, she helped him improve the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

"Alright, Xuanyu. We'll stop here for today."

Two hours later, Nana finished teaching. She led Nan Xuanyu out of the cultivation room.

"Teacher Nana, can I not apply to Shrek Academy? I only want to cultivate with you.

"I feel like they probably wouldn't be of much help to me. There's probably not a single teacher there stronger than you!"

As they were about to leave the cultivation room, Nan Xuanyu grabbed Nana and spoke.

"With talent like yours, even Shrek Academy has never seen anyone like you.

"But at present, only Shrek Academy is the most suitable place for you. I can only teach you knowledge related to Soul Power.

"I can't teach you other auxiliary professions, such as Battle Armor, Mecha, or warship piloting.

"So, I recommend that you apply to Shrek Academy. It will only benefit you!

"If you enter that academy, your future development will go much more smoothly."

Nana thought for a moment, rubbed Nan Xuanyu's little head, and spoke seriously.

"What about the War God Temple?"

If possible, Nan Xuanyu truly did not want to attend Shrek Academy.

"The War God Temple is an official organization. You'll be restricted at every turn there, so I don't recommend it. Once you enter, you may spend the rest of your life there.

"Shrek is different. After graduation, you'll be free. If you want to join the War God Temple then, no one will have the authority to stop you."

As she spoke, Nana took Nan Xuanyu's hand and walked outside.

Nan Xuanyu said nothing. He was considering whether he should apply to Shrek Academy.

There's no need to report it. If you don't like it, then don't read it. Reporting it won't do you any good, and don't stand on the moral high ground and criticize everything.

The fact that you reported it already proves that you're immoral. You're not as noble as you think.

Besides, you're the one whose thoughts went astray. Only because your mind is impure would you think that Nan Xuanyu and Gu Yuena are related by blood!
