Chapter 953 - Seed!
“It’s the source of your energy. At the same time, it’s a seed too,” Wang Junan replied.
“Seed? What seed?” Liu Furong continued asking. This time, Wang Junan didn’t reply to him. He just smiled.
“You can’t say it?” Liu Furong seemed to understand.
“The emotions in your heart will become its soil and fertilizer. What kind of flower or fruit it will bloom into depends on your decision.” Wang Junan couldn’t bear to see Liu Furong being confused so he added on. “Feel your heart carefully and you’ll know what your seed is. Once it sprouts, your domain will come to you naturally. Furong, all the best!”
“Leader Liu, all the best!”
“Leader, all the best!”
His brother-in-arms cheered him on. Their voices filled the entire sky. Liu Furong was touched once again. He cried.
Amidst the sound of the cheers, the golden light in the sky slowly disappeared. Wang Junan and his brother-in-arms faded away. Liu Furong wanted to hold them back but he couldn’t do anything.
Even though the people from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan were gone, Liu Furong still felt the seed at his heart’s position. It was sucking in nutrients from somewhere. His brother-in-arms didn’t disappear. They were always beside him. He just couldn’t see them.
“Thank you for giving me strength.” Liu Furong raised his transparent right hand and placed it above the seed. He closed his eyes and felt the seed carefully.
His sorrow, anger, frustration, happiness, and longing for his brother-in-arms from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan were all inside the seed. He could see the memories when he was reborn in 250 Ace Mecha Clan too. The friendship with his brother-in-arms from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan and the strong bond between his comrades from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were all inside.
This was the brotherhood that he treasured.
When Liu Furong thought about brotherhood, the seed sprouted. Two soft but strong leaves appeared.
Ling Lan thought that Liu Furong had failed. He laid on the ground motionless and his breathing was getting fainter. The beating of his heart was slowing down too. It felt as though his heart would stop beating at any moment.
Ling Lan was in sorrow. In the end, she lost the gamble. She clenched her fist tightly. Her nails dug into the skin of her palm and blood flowed down her hand. It dripped on the ground.
She never regretted her decisions but that didn’t mean that she had no emotions. It wasn’t a good feeling to kill your own friend. Ling Lan didn’t know if she would have the courage to do it again. She waited silently for the worst result. Suddenly, she raised her head with a dumbstruck expression. She was elated.
Liu Furong’s heart started pounding energetically again. Ling Lan could even feel a strong life force coming from Liu Furong’s body.
“Domain!” Only domain could bring a new life. This was why Liu Furong managed to stay alive. In the end, Liu Furong still won against himself and found his domain.
In the next second, multiple young shoots that represented a new life engulfed Liu Furong’s body. The bloody person a moment ago turned into a green man in an instant.
These young seedlings didn’t harm Liu Furong’s body. Instead, they sucked the energy around him and used it to repair his injured body.
Liu Furong could finally feel his body. The excruciating pain almost caused him to cry in pain. He controlled his mouth in time but his body still trembled due to the tremendous pain.
“Congratulations, Leader Liu.” He heard Ling Lan’s voice. He couldn’t detect any changes in Ling Lan’s voice. He sounded as though there was nothing to be excited about when he came back alive.
‘Regiment commander, I came back from the gates of hell. Shouldn’t you at least show some concern?’ Liu Furong complained secretly. He had almost died in his hand. Shouldn’t he express some care towards him? Shouldn’t he sound happy?
Liu Furong started to compare Ling Lan with his past regiment commander. He realized that this commander was not bad actually. He wouldn’t die if he listened to his instructions.
Liu Furong was speechless. Am I a masochist? I almost died by his hands but I still think that he is not bad?!
Ling Lan didn’t know what Liu Furong was thinking. She saw Liu Furong lying on the ground motionless and frowned. ‘Did I hurt him so badly that the new life he received when he achieved domain was not enough to recuperate his body?’
“You can’t stand up? Do you need me to help?” Ling Lan sounded out her concern for Liu Furoing, but with the help of her indifferent tone, it sounded like a threat to Liu Furong.
The vicious and heartless regiment commander said that he wanted to help you? Well, if you believe him, you’re an idiot. This was definitely a threat. What he meant was, if you don’t get up now, I’ll torture you.
Liu Furong shuddered and quickly sprung up from the ground.
Ling Lan looked at the branches that helped Liu Furong to get up.”Wood element?” She didn’t expect Liu Furong to have the wood element.
“It should be a part of the wood element but it’s different from the normal wood element.” Liu Furong felt his domain. He couldn’t turn the seedling turned into trees. “To be exact, it’s more like grass.” Liu Furong opened his right hand and a green plant suddenly popped out of his palm. He blew it, and the plant swayed in the wind. It wasn’t as hard as the plants from the normal wood element domain. He plucked a piece of it. It came off easily. He tried breaking the plant from its stem. It broke easily too.
It was soft and brittle. Liu Furong gave a bitter smile. “It seems weak.”
“There are only useless mecha operators. There are no useless mechas.” Ling Lan replied calmly. “This sentence can be used for domains too. There is no domain that is useless. It is all depended on the person who is using it.”
Liu Furong nodded. The disappointment he had before disappeared.
“Since you successfully advanced to the domain stage, let’s go to another place.” Ling Lan said nonchalantly, “You still need to do something.”
“What?” Liu Furong was puzzled.
“I forgot to tell you that your five years old son is in the hands of someone else. He’s waiting for you to save him.” Ling Lan gave an evil smile. Just like what she expected, Liu Furong was in a daze after he heard this.
Until now, he didn’t know that Aunt Liu gave birth to a son for him!
