Chapter 724

Testing The Waters

Shao Xuan never expected to see anything like this.

“Is this what happens when a Di person activates their totemic energy?” Shao Xuan asked.

“No! Definitely not!!” He Bian was shaking his head wildly.

This had never happened in the history of the Di tribe. It had never been recorded in any of their ancestors’ handbooks. At least it wasn’t in the ones that were passed down to them, or they wouldn’t have been so shocked by this sight.

They were used to living with fish, but they never thought they would actually become a fish one day!

“That’s weird.”

After Shao Xuan calmed down, he walked over to the stone fish tank to look closer.

Dian Dian was already in a mental breakdown and didn’t know what to say. She could only helplessly flick the tail that she believed shouldn’t have appeared and tried to convince herself that this was just a dream.

Shao Xuan heard the clanging sounds before he walked in and it was exactly the sound Dian Dian was making now with her tail. It was the sound of her tail moving. The water in the stone fish tank was also displaced when she flicked her tail. The water splashed everywhere, and the floor was all wet with water stains. Everyone on guard was also soaked.

However, no one cared to wipe away the water during this time. They could only stand there idly and think about what they could do.

“Let me check your totem,” Shao Xuan said.

Dian Dian didn’t object. She looked at Shao Xuan with expectant eyes, hoping he could find an answer.

Shao Xuan placed his hand close to the space between Dian Dian’s eyebrows and the white flame once again entered her sea of consciousness.

The Di tribe’s totem was already stable. There were no sudden changes and looked exactly like the way Shao Xuan saw it when he left. The human face took up most of the space, and there were no fish mouths. Even the fish scales had shrunk. When Shao Xuan looked at it, he noticed the most apparent features were the human face and the body of a fish.

Most of the lines on the human face had already disappeared, and the “eyes” were slightly open. The fishtail shook as the totemic flames in her body activated.

Judging by her totem, he could tell that the totemic energy inside Dian Dian’s body was powerful.

“Can you stop this using your totemic energy?” Shao Xuan asked.

“I can’t control it.” Dian Dian was also frustrated. Since she swallowed the Di fish’s fire seed yesterday, the totemic power had been very active inside of her, so she hadn’t been able to gain control over this energy.

Now Shao Xuan was confused too.

The Di tribe’s situation was unique so he couldn’t compare it to other situations.

If he purely judged the situation by the totem and flames in Dian Dian’s consciousness, it was clear that this was beneficial for Dian Dian. At least her condition was stable now.

After noticing that nothing was wrong, he drew his finger away and asked again, “How do you feel now?”

“Not too well,” Dian Dian wagged her fishtail against the wall of the stone fish tank, causing loud clanging sounds.

No one would be able to cope with a tail if they had been human for all their life, and they wouldn’t feel good too.

“I’m not asking about that. What I mean is, are you still ill? Do you still feel weak?”

Her fishtail gradually stopped slamming against the stone fish tank. Due to the shock she had early this morning, Dian Dian never tried to calm down and investigate. She just knew that she succeeded in swallowing the Di fish’s energy. However, after hearing Shao Xuan’s question, she checked her body to see any changes. There was no one else who understood her situation more than herself.

The illness caused by the conflicting energies had disappeared. Now, Dian Dian only had the Di tribe’s totemic energy, and the swallowed fire seed had not wholly merged, and it wouldn’t merge anytime soon, but at least they solved the problem at its core.
