Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: BluVerse

In other words, Lan Xuanyu himself was not purely human?

Various chaotic thoughts continuously flashed through Lan Xuanyu's mind.

Sitting beside him, Bai Xiuxiu was also stunned. He… he wasn't human either? Being born from an egg, he must be a soul beast, right? So, he was actually like her…

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was quite strange.

Perhaps because of all the turmoil he had experienced recently, Lan Xuanyu gradually regained his composure and said with a bitter smile, "I didn't expect that I came into the world this way. But it seems to confirm history."

Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng exchanged glances. Lan Xiao frowned and asked, "Confirm history? What do you mean?"

Lan Xuanyu murmured, "Dad, do you remember? When I was young, you often told me stories. One of those stories was about the resurgence of Shrek Academy ten thousand years ago. Back then, Shrek Academy had been destroyed, and it was rebuilt through the efforts of that generation's Seven Shrek Monsters, leading to the current Shrek Academy. The leader of the Seven Shrek Monsters at that time was Tang Wulin, the Dragon King Douluo. That was also the era when humans and soul beasts reconciled. In the final battle, Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin and his lover, Silver Dragon Douluo Gu Yuena, fought to the death together, transforming into meteors and disappearing. According to historical records, the direction they disappeared to was the north."

Nan Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What does that have to do with you?"

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and replied, "Teacher Nana should be Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena. She was revived from ice by scientists ten thousand years later. The place where she was found was in the far northern regions."

Nan Cheng instantly realized something and covered her mouth. Lan Xiao exclaimed, "You mean…"

Lan Xuanyu silently nodded, "Yes, she is very likely my biological mother, which is why we felt a close blood connection the first time we met. She was seriously injured while saving me and is now in the academy in a deep sleep. When she saved me, she told me she might be my mother. If I really came from the far northern regions…"

At this moment, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were also somewhat stunned. They never expected that the family teacher they had found was actually Lan Xuanyu's biological mother. More importantly, Lan Xuanyu might have come from ten thousand years ago.

This was all too unbelievable.

Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena was the legendary Silver Dragon King. That meant Lan Xuanyu's biological father was Dragon King Douluo Tang Wulin, who was both the head of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion and the leader of the Tang Sect, a rarity in Shrek Academy's history. Perhaps he was the only one.

After all, even the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San, never held both positions simultaneously.

They finally understood why the Federation had approached them and, after asking about the past, had politely sent them back. All of this was likely closely related to Lan Xuanyu's true identity.

"Nana lived for ten thousand years? Then… your biological father…" Nan Cheng asked softly.

Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly and said, "You know him too, you've met him. Do you remember Uncle Le? You once said I looked a bit like him. He should be the Dragon King Douluo from back then."

Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao were completely speechless. Everything seemed like a fantasy to them.

A pair of lovers from ten thousand years ago, perhaps the greatest lovers of that time, were still alive. And the son they had raised was actually their child. This was beyond unbelievable.

Lan Xiao looked deeply at Lan Xuanyu for a long moment before saying, "Son, you’ve had quite an eventful time recently, haven't you?"

Lan Xuanyu nodded with a bitter smile, "I've only recently started to get used to it." In fact, the more important reason he accepted this situation was the entire process of rescuing Nana. Nana’s fall into the star had shocked him so much that everything else seemed easier to accept by comparison.

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry, I’m doing well. Uncle Le and Teacher Nana are both recuperating at the academy. No matter what happens in the future, one thing will never change: you will always be my dad and mom. Even if I acknowledge them later, that won't change anything. What Xiuxiu said to me that day made me understand. Most people only have one set of parents, but I have two. Isn’t that double the happiness? Without you, I might have died in the far north long ago, let alone be here today. So, I will only love you more in the future."

"My dear son," Nan Cheng cried out, throwing herself at Lan Xuanyu and kissing him several times on the face before hugging him tightly.

Lan Xiao smiled with tears in his eyes, "Originally, we planned to never tell you about this. Your origins are too extraordinary, and we were worried it would affect you. We were also selfish. You're our only son, and we were afraid you wouldn't be able to accept the truth. But now, everything is great. Truly great."

"Son, I'll go cook for you. I’ll make something delicious," Nan Cheng suddenly jumped up and rushed to the kitchen.

Lan Xiao hurriedly said, "Take it easy, you're still so impulsive."

Bai Xiuxiu also stood up, smiling, "I'll go help Auntie." She said, heading to the kitchen as well.

With only the father and son left in the living room, Lan Xiao wiped away his tears and smiled, "So, what are your plans now? Will this affect you?"

Lan Xuanyu knew his father was referring to his background. He shook his head and said, "It shouldn’t affect me too much. I think both Uncle Le and Teacher Nana have no desire for power. They will probably choose a more secluded life in the future. It won’t affect the Federation. Uncle Le has already told me that he wants to live in Shrek City permanently. As for me, I’ll continue my studies in the inner court. I’ve been accepted, and I’ve also qualified to compete for a position among the Shrek Seven Monsters. I am determined to become one of this generation’s Shrek Seven Monsters. Although the pressure will be immense, life will also be more exciting."

“I recently encountered many things and realized that the Federation's peace is maintained through powerful military strength. We have always had formidable enemies. In the future, I also want to contribute to the Federation’s peace.”

What he didn’t mention was that he also wanted revenge for nearly losing Teacher Nana. He still vividly remembered that person’s projection.

When that man had said to him, "Isn't it good to be alive?" with such an arrogant demeanor.

This experience made Lan Xuanyu even more determined to become stronger. He wanted to become powerful enough to contend with those top experts, to defeat formidable enemies, and to protect his family.

“Son, you’ve grown up. Whatever you want to do, you can choose for yourself. Your mother and I won’t offer too many opinions because you've grown beyond the point where our advice can influence your path. But as a father, I have one request: I just want my son to be safe. So, whatever you do and whatever choices you make, protect yourself and stay safe. We don’t need you to visit often, but at least keep in touch frequently. Call us when you can so we can hear your voice. That will make us very happy.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Dad, don’t worry. I will definitely be careful. I understand that my life isn’t just mine; it also belongs to my family. By the way, would you and Mom like to move to Shrek City? The air is excellent there, and the life energy is much stronger, which would be very beneficial for your health. Plus, I’ll be spending most of my time in Shrek City once I enter the inner court. If you move there, our family can be together more often.”

“Move back to the home planet?” Lan Xiao was a bit taken aback; he hadn’t considered this possibility.

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “I’ve been accepted into the inner court, and according to the academy’s regulations, the families of inner court students can be approved to live in Shrek City. I just need to submit a request, and it should be fine. As for your and Mom’s jobs, I can help inquire about transferring. It should be possible.”

Neither Lan Xiao nor Nan Cheng held particularly important positions, so transferring wouldn't be too difficult.

Lan Xiao said, “Let me discuss it with your mother. When we left the home planet, we were really reluctant because it’s the place where we were born and raised. If we could go back and live in Shrek City, which is like a holy place for the entire Federation, I would certainly be willing from my own perspective. The most important thing is that we could see you more often.”
