Legend Of The Dragon Phoenix Warrior - 36 Soul Connection

Chapter 36

Zhang You was terrified with what he just saw. That person was just level 8 of the body refinement a day ago. Now not only was he a peak body refinement cultivator, his bloodline had leveled up as well. How was this possible? The best guess that Zhang You had was that this was a future inheritor of a first-rate clan. As he put the pieces together he figure that this was a child prodigy that has shown exceptional skill in child birth. He may have even been born with a special heavenly body. Maybe he was born with all his meridians and acupoints already opened. This person would be of immense value to his clan. This operation will take some time and a lot of thorough planning to be viable, but the end score could set him up for life. Just the resources he could get alone would be enough to reach the King realm, or maybe even the Emperor realm. He would love to reach the God realm, but he knew that was being way to greedy. The biggest obstacle was finding someone powerful enough that he could trust. As Zhang You was making plans in his head he left just as quietly as he came, leaving no trace that he was ever there.

When Chen Zhen passed thru the barrier the sense of threat he felt instantly disappeared. With out the sense of danger around him his bloodline retracted, and his armor flowed back into his body. As Chen Zhen looked around everything in the clearing look normal, but it was deathly quiet in there. Chen Zhen rushed to Mei Ling’s shack. When he arrived out front he could Mei Ling and the kids inside. Chen Zhen heaved a sigh of relief as his punt up emotions came crashing down. He suddenly felt very tired, and completely drained. Chen Zhen went to lean against the side of the shack, but lost his balance, falling into it instead.

Mei Ling heard a loud bang and felt the entire shack shake. She opened the door to see what was the matter, when she accidentally hit Chen Zhen with the door. Seeing him slumped against her cabin the way he was Mei Ling assumed he had hurt himself again. She picked Chen Zhen up and carried him inside with much difficulty. For some reason Chen Zhen’s body felt a lot more solid and weight a great deal more then before. As Mei Ling check him over she couldn’t find any injuries or wounds on his body.

“Hey guys, do any of you know why I feel so weak all of a sudden?”

“This is probably the side effect of using your bloodline ability. Your body is still too weak to handle the power strain the ability put on it. You will be fine after you rest up. This side effect will naturally go away on its own after you learn to control your bloodline and fully unlock it,” Shanggu Feng told him to help him understand his situation better.

“Thank you Shanggu Feng. And thank you too Lou Tian. The advice you guys have given me has been very helpful. I would be really lost without you guys.”

Shanggu Feng and Lou Tian weren’t expecting such a sincere thank you from Chen Zhen. They really felt he appreciated them. This small gesture actually went a long way him starting to bridge the gap between them. And there actually was a literal gap between them. Even though the three souls were “merged” together it would actually be more accurate to say they were placed together. The three souls occupied the same body but originally they were the farthest apart they could possibly be. Since Chen Zhen took the initiative to open communication with Shanggu Feng and Lou Tian, and then this gesture of gratitude he just share, Chen Zhen actually pulled the other two souls a little closer toward his.

“Hey, I feel a little bit different, but I don’t really know what it is,” Shanggu Feng said.

“Yes I know what you mean, things feel a little bit more vivid. I can hear you a little clearer. I can feel my dantian a little bit better too,” Lou Tian excitedly said.

“Yeah I can hear and feel you guys better too. I wonder what happened,” Chen Zhen asked?

[You guys are stronger together. You are beginning to communicate more, so you guys are drawing a little closer to each other,] the clone speculated.

Chen Zhen wasn’t sure if that was it or not, but if it was it definitely wasn’t a bad thing. This took a while to explain but it happened in a matter of seconds. Mei Ling was still checking to see how Chen Zhen got hurt.

“I’m okay Mei Ling. I’m just very tired right now,” Chen Zhen told her.

“Okay. When you didn’t come back yesterday and then seeing you like this today….. I was naturally concerned,” Mei Ling said looking very relieved.

“I just need to get some rest. I do have some very good news. I have a very fortunate encounter while I was out yesterday. I am now at the peak of body refinement. As soon as I reach Liquid Core stage we can head to the Shanggu Clan and you and kids can begin your new life,” Chen Zhen said hoping to make Mei Ling and the kids happy.

Chen Zhen left to go to bed, so he didn’t see the looks that Mei Ling and the kids shared. They were very excited to be starting their new lives, but at the same time they were sad to know that they would be parting from Chen Zhen soon. Even though they all knew that Chen Zhen wasn’t they deceased family member, having him around felt so normal that they could easily forget that he wasn’t their Chen Fei Long. As they thought about all that Chen Zhen had done for them they were very grateful in their heart. Because of him they had a chance for an exciting new life that was beyond any of their wildest dreams. They only had to make it to the Shanggu Clan first, they had no idea where that clan was. Mei Ling once again had worry on her face as she thought of the perilous journey they had ahead of them.
