"What the hell, why don't you go? Use your Light Radiance to blind those Summoned Beasts," Zhao Manyan said with a sneer.
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what your second element is."
"Summoning Element," Lan Yu replied.
Zhao Manyan's eyes flew wide. "Damn it! Heaven is unfair!"
"Cursing won't help. I awakened the Summoning Element because Mother Earth decided to feed me," Lan Yu said, crossing one leg over the other.
"What the heck?" Zhao Manyan couldn't understand what kind of nonsense this guy was spouting now.
"..."
The Beast Fighting Tournament proceeded just as it had in the original story. Mo Fan still defeated two hundred people and won the public resources for all the new students.
Mo Fan also got his wish and earned the title "Pearl Great Demon King."
After the new students' Beast Fighting Tournament, everything seemed to gradually return to normal.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
News of the new student tournament was finally buried beneath other developments.
That day, Lan Yu began controlling the stars of his Summoning Element on the dormitory rooftop.
This time, he had made thorough preparations, all so he could travel to Douluo Continent and claim his opportunities.
One moonlit star after another appeared before his abdomen. Under the control of his mental power, the seven stars lined up to form a star orbit.
The star orbit formed, and magic appeared!
The star orbit, glowing with a moonlit sheen, was like a secant line. It slowly tore open a crack in the space of the real world, leading to Douluo Continent.
The crack was just wide enough for one person to pass through. Lan Yu opened his eyes and rose to his feet, then stepped into it.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the world of magic.
The next second, a brand-new scene appeared before Lan Yu's eyes.
It was a valley basin, with a hot spring at its very center.
The spring wasn't very large, but it was clearly divided into two sections. The oval pool held two distinct colors: milky white and vermilion.
Rolling steam rose from the area between the two springs, drifting upward until it slowly dispersed near the mouth of the valley.
Ice and Fire Mandarin Duck Pot!
Lan Yu's breathing grew heavy, and his body trembled uncontrollably with excitement.
He never would've guessed that his "Summoning Element" would connect directly to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
And judging by the state of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it seemed that two-faced hypocrite Tang San hadn't paid it a visit.
He remembered that the first time, he'd appeared over the sea and had nearly been eaten by a Sea Soul Beast.
He'd wasted an opportunity on that first trip, leaving him to wait three months.
"Heh heh heh, the Immortal Herbs are all mine!"
Lan Yu laughed like someone who'd devoured a horde of Soul Hall guardians, sounding more villainous than a villain.
After spending only a short while at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Lan Yu could already sense the abundant energies of ice and fire.
Although he'd only read fanfiction about Douluo Continent, he was quite familiar with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well didn't just provide extraordinary conditions for rare plants to grow. It could also affect humans and other creatures.
If a human or another creature stayed beside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, their body would soon be struck by the energies of its two extreme elements: ice and fire.
If they couldn't leave in time, they would soon explode.
Moreover, extreme cold and heat were both highly effective against poisons.
Relying on his memories, Lan Yu quickly found several Immortal Herbs that would be particularly useful to him at this stage.
First was the Aromatic Silk Beauty, a gently swaying, pink flower that was the bane of all poisons and could neutralize every kind of toxin.
It couldn't detoxify in the usual sense, but it could counteract poison.
Anything within the pink barrier it emitted fell within its range of influence.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty's fragrance was faint and elegant, and its scent could neutralize all poisons.
Lan Yu took out a dagger and dug up the Aromatic Silk Beauty, roots and soil intact, then held it in his hand.
Time was short. He had to act quickly.
Second was the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass grew at the center of the extremely cold spring. Its top looked like a large white flower, shaped like an octagon, with glistening stamens in the center that resembled ice crystals.
Third was the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
Like the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, it grew at the center of the extremely hot spring. It looked much like a cabbage, except it was fiery red all over.
He had an ordinary dagger and a Jade Ruler about fifty centimeters long.
First, he used the dagger to slice off the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass in one stroke, then pierced it with the dagger and moved it to a spot just before the boundary between the extremely cold and extremely hot springs.
Lan Yu could already feel the force of extreme cold creeping up his arm and into his body. Fortunately, he had the Aromatic Silk Beauty in hand. Otherwise, he would've frozen into an ice statue.
Next, he used the Jade Ruler to dig up the Infernal Delicate Apricot and move it into position.
By now, Lan Yu could feel pain beginning to spread through his body.
After all, he'd spent quite a while at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Even with the Aromatic Silk Beauty counteracting the cold and fire toxins, his body was still reacting strangely.
The pain of alternating heat and cold inside him had become especially pronounced after he plucked the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot.
"Fuck! This feels awful!"
Lan Yu gritted his teeth. His blood and energy churned, and his face turned green, then red.
But as the two Immortal Herbs gradually drew close, the aura of extreme cold and heat suddenly vanished.
Without hesitation, Lan Yu picked the two Immortal Herbs up off the ground and stuffed them into his mouth, gulping them down.
They were worthy of being Immortal Herbs. They melted as soon as they entered his mouth, sliding down his throat with his saliva.
After swallowing the two Immortal Herbs, Lan Yu quickly stripped naked.
Once he'd taken off his clothes, Lan Yu's body shuddered violently.
A layer of icy blue rose from his feet. In the blink of an eye, he'd turned into a little blue man.
Then another layer of red rose up, and Lan Yu turned completely red with heat—not just his face, but his whole body.
For a while, blue and red alternated, making for a bizarre sight.
Yet this seemingly simple process nearly drove Lan Yu to the brink of a mental breakdown.
This fucking feels just like the mental agony I went through when I broke through to Intermediate Level!
But the medicine has already taken effect. Time to jump into the Mandarin Duck Pot and give myself a quick dip!
Enduring the pain, Lan Yu staggered toward the point where the extremely cold and extremely hot springs met.
Splash—
There was a splash, and Lan Yu sank into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The water churned as Lan Yu plunged in, then quickly returned to stillness.
Lan Yu had fallen unconscious. He knew nothing of what was happening outside.
Night fell, and darkness covered the land.
Lan Yu still hadn't surfaced from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, as if he had vanished completely into its waters.
