Chapter 30 A familiar feeling (2/2)

“Water vortex!”

The water arrows reformed into a soft water stream that was circling around and formed a vortex with a slight whistling sound. It was stronger than the first time he used it against Ye Lingtong.

“Freeze!”

The water vortex turned into ice directly and even maintained the funnel shape.

And when Nan Cheng saw this scene, she was somewhat dumbfounded.

Isn’t this rate of freezing too fast? How strong must his affinity with the water elements be in order to do that?

Before she spoke, that ice vortex became a long ice gun under Lan Xuanyu’s control. He held it in his hand and waved it twice. “Mommy, isn’t this the ice gun technique that you used before? Is the ice wall like this? I think I can detonate the ice wall too. They are so obedient.”

Seeing her son directing the water elements with ease, Nan Cheng smiled bitterly.

The truth was that although she had already trained to the rank of Spirit Emperor, she had always been in the civil service and had never participated in many actual combats. Her greatest use of the ice element was to cool down during summer by freezing ice-cream and things like that. She realized that she didn’t have much to teach her son.

After playing for an entire hour, Lan Xuanyu wasn’t tired at all, and he only went to bed after Nan Cheng told him to stop.

“Seems like your son is really becoming a genius; what should we do?” Nan Cheng leaned against Lan Xiao as she said helplessly.

Lan Xiao sighed softly. “I don’t want him to be noticed either, but we can’t suppress his growth, can we? Let’s just go with it. But according to the speed of the growth of his spiritual power and his ability to control the water elements, we should find him a teacher or tuition class outside of the school. It should be beneficial for him to join some combat practices. Thankfully, his spirit power is still increasing quite slowly and would be overtaken by children his age very soon, so he wouldn’t stand out too much.”

“We’ll go back and see how it goes. It’s not easy looking for a tutor, and it isn’t cheap either. Even though we can afford it, but our quality of life would have to decrease a little.”

Lan Xiao smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about these. The higher-ups are willing to let me join the interstellar exploration to look for the next planet for migration. I’m planning to give it a try. It is said that this planet which was just discovered is highly likely to have living creatures similar to the ancient spirit beasts of our mother planet. If this exploration is a success, I should be able to be promoted and get a raise when I return.”

Nan Cheng grabbed his arm nervously. “Will it be dangerous?”

Lan Xiao laughed. “You have nothing to worry about! The federation has been exploring the universe for thousands of years already and would have done ample preparation each time. Since when has it ever been dangerous? Furthermore, I’m only a logistics support worker. I’m in charge of some data analysis, genetic comparison, and such—it won’t be risky.”

Nan Cheng asked, “How long do you have to go for?”

Lan Xiao said, “This is what I wanted to tell you. I’m afraid I’ll have to be away for at least three to six months. The duration is a little long, but interstellar long-distance communication technology has improved quite a bit, and we could talk at least once every week.”

Nan Cheng hugged her husband tightly. “I can’t really bear to let you go. Why don’t I transfer to another department? With my Spirit Emperor rank, if I try some main battle department, my salary should increase a lot.”

“No way, I am a male chauvinist. How could I let my wife go out there to earn more money? You must consider my self-esteem,” Lan Xiao said with a smile.

Nan Cheng buried her head in his embrace. “When are you leaving then?”

Lan Xiao said, “If you’re agreeable, I will sign the application once we get back and wait for the news from the higher-ups. According to the information given to me earlier, it should be quite fast. The research exploration team is in need of researchers like me, and the allowance is quite high this time. The allowance is also given in advance; it should be enough for a home tutor.”

“Let me think about it, and we’ll talk again when we get home.”
