Heaven Dou City's Spirit Pagoda

Fan Lin stopped near the Spirit Pagoda of the Heaven Dou City and the two Elders immediately nabbed him to an unknown place.

They didn't even touch him, they just constricted the space around him, along with him, and went to somewhere private.

They were in front of a small cafe in the outskirts of the city. The roads were empty. There were many people. Even the cafe was completely empty. It was 6 something in the morning. A cafe shouldn't even be open at this time.

Both the Elder walked towards it. Fan Lin followed behind them.

"You could have just told me?" [Fan Lin]

"You cut the call before we can." [Elder Huazhi]

Elder Huazhi said, feeling a bit wronged at Fan Lin's accuse and also the fact that he had just appeared from wherever he was to their location not even 25 seconds after their call.

He didn't give them any time to prepare for the situation. Heck, they weren't even sure that Fan Lin would agree to their words and politely follow along without any trouble.

Their actual plan was to get the help of Vice President Leng Yaozhu because according to Elder Huazhi, Fan Lin would definitely listen to her. Elder Dou didn't know where Elder Huazhi's confidence was coming from but it wouldn't hurt to try.

What else they can even do? Call Qiangu Dongfeng?

Well, guess what, he had done that the previous day and Qiangu Dongfeng had been unsuccessful in whatever he was planning with Fan Lin.

So even if Elder Huazhi wasn't right in his claim, they had no choice but to take Vice President Leng Yaozhu's help in getting their message delivered to him and also to agree him for the inspection.

Truthfully, Elder Huazhi wasn't keen on to this. Neither was Elder Dou. They had checked upon Fan Lin's condition and both of them inherently knew that Fan Lin definitely had a way to deal with this because if he didn't, accordingly with what they have felt, he should be dead long ago.

The fact that he was alive and kicking and flying was proof enough that he indeed had things under wraps and his words could be trusted upon.

That's what Elder Huazhi had told everyone but who knows what happened in between, everyone suddenly started to worry about a lot of things.

Moreso, this was Fan Lin that they were talking about. The same Fan Lin who was widely known to never do things without having confirmation of its outcome. Something that he had learnt from his grievous mistake of fusing all his spirit soul rings together on a whim.

Fan Lin was also famous for his intense but nearly masochistic desire to live. So thinking that he was just going to die when he clearly knew the cause and potentially the solution to his short life, he definitely wasn't lying when he said that he knew what he was doing.

Except these were what they thought. Everyone thought otherwise. Some forces had seen Fan Lin's extremely antagonistic sides and had strictly ordered Elder Dou to find out more about this "catastrophe" that was hanging above their heads.

Some were really afraid of the future and didn't want to suddenly die, hence they had ordered Elder Huazhi to investigate and provide a concrete truth on the matter.

Then there were also some who planned to use this opportunity and try some experimentations but they were worried that Fan Lin might explode first or there may be some hidden things that was unknown and they might all die. Hence they pestered Elder Dou to find out about his 'experimental' potential.

Lastly, there was the madness group. The ones that wanted to use this opportunity to weaponise Fan Lin and throw him into the abyssal plane.

The Abyssal plane might be big and heavy but would they survive a planetary devastation? This was the question whose answer they needed. Hence they had sent some people for Fan Lin with the consent of the President and also asked Elder Dou to report Fan Lin's explosionary potential.

If the answer was satisfactory, they will end the tale of the Abyssal plane for once and for all.

With so many heavy duties (burdens) on their shoulders, Both the Elders had contacted each other to ask for their help before contacting Fan Lin.

But Fan Lin didn't give them a single moment of preparations and just dropped like he wasn't busy with the replantation or such.

Like he was gone and completely uncontactable for months due to his replantations and now he was free.

"Ah, yeah. My fault then. What now?" [Fan Lin]

"We will proceed with examinations." [Elder Dou]

"Okay. And?" [Fan Lin]

"We will try to find solutions." [Elder Dou]

"I already have the answer. Many of them at that." [Fan Lin]

"But "we" need to be sure that you aren't a threat in any way possible." [Elder Dou]

"Have it your way then." [Fan Lin]

They all entered the cafe and sat at the corner.

"A glass of orange juice for me, if not, any fruit will work just fine. When are we starting?" [Fan Lin]

Fan Lin ordered in his usual voice.

Hearing his question to them, they looked at each other and internally sighed. They would have chosen to throw him into the machines if it was a normal case but considering his situation, they won't show anything at all.

Meaning they had to manually inspect his body and god knows mercy, they could just ask his findings and solutions and present it as their own to the rest. That will make those more trusted and things will pipe down a lot.

"Just like the last time, let us inspect you." [Elder Dou]

"En." [Fan Lin]

Fan Lin raised his hands and the Elders grabbed one each and once again, they used their spiritual power to dive into his body and this time they didn't back away from the instinctual dread that their instincts were flashing them about.

Holding on, they finally saw the entirety of his dan tian(energy storage) and it was huge.

Wait a second. His entire body was his energy storage(dan tian). It was like it was made up of energy and in it, energy was being generated at an insane rate.

"Energy Body. That's what I call it. From explosion to implosion, to bursts to fission and now fusion. In my body, thankfully to my energy ductile physical properties, because of which I can absorb any age of spirit soul, I am not affected by the fusion force that should have tore me apart ages ago."

"The previous forms of this energy combustion is also the reason why I am dying by the way."

"But as you can see, it's completely under my control. Everything is."

They heard his voice, emotionlessly telling new details that he should have told them sooner.

"Only until you are alive that is. The problem is what would happen after you die. With this much energy, you are basically a small sun. Even if you were expel this energy through a beam or something, the resulting shockwaves alone would be enough to wipe out all human life on the planet." [Elder Dou]

Elder Dou said while continuing his observations.

"What are you going to do?" [Elder Huazhi]

"I am not dying. I am not even 15 years old and I definitely haven't seen everything that life has to offer me. I plan to live at least until 23, 24. Maybe after that, I can end myself in peace because the me from those times is not worth living. Ignore this paragraph altogether. Author, cut it." [Fan Lin]

"What are you talking about?" [Elder Dou]

"Nothing. I... Okay, lets get things straight." [Fan Lin]

"I currently have two different energies in my body. One is my soul energy and second is the passive energy generated by my body. One is docile and the other one is not."

"You both have a good understanding of my physical condition now. Tell me then, if I ate spiritual food..."

"You will explode." [Elder Dou]

"Your body will generate new energy and the rampant energy and soul energy will be disturbed and yeah, you will explode." [Elder Huazhi]

"If I were to raise my cultivation..." [Fan Lin]

"The energy will be disturbed again. You will explode." [Elder Dou]

"Same." [Elder Huazhi]

"If I were to get a spirit bone. I will still explode. The same is also true if I die." [Fan Lin]

"And yet I have not exploded. I know what I am doing. I know how to end this as well. And you might have realised why I asked that question." [Fan Lin]

"I do. You are thinking of changing your spirit souls, thus changing your skills but the energy—" [Elder Huazhi]

"After I take care of the energy, I will do it. Not before, first I will take care of the energy and then I will find a quiet place to change my spirit souls, face the backlash and then go on with my new life as I re-cultivate in the other continent. Okay." [Fan Lin]

"And how are you going to take care of the energy? That's all we are asking. Looking at your condition in detail, I do have some plans of mine but I would like to think on this for a few more days." [Elder Huazhi]

"Forge a set of Four Word Battle Armour. I am going to use this energy to forge my Four Word Battle Armour."

Fan Lin replied as all the energy in his body condescended to form a single drop of heavy greenish liquid that looked eerily familiar to the green crystals that he had but more on the darker side.

Not even moment later though, the green crystal was drowned in the insurmountable amount of newly generated energy but remained unaffected except for being pushed here and there.

"See. I have things under control. Didn't I already mention about my Energy storm skill and how I have complete control over the energy in my body until it is in my body? That's what this is."

"And I had visited you to get confirmation on things. Things that I was planning to do when I leave the continent. My knowledge to things outside my body isn't that significant, you know."

As he spoke, the two Elders speechlessly felt the relatively small but still quite a large amount of energy in his body and heaved a heavy sigh.

Things were indeed under Fan Lin's control and there was no actual need to create a fuss over it.

"Thankfully you haven't told anyone about this or they would have made a mountain out of a molehill." [Fan Lin]

As if pouring chillies on their wounds, Fan Lin mercilessly pressed forward.

"Yeah." [Elder Huazhi]

"Absolutely." [Elder Dou]

They nodded their heads at his statement and smiled. What else could they do. They quietly thought of ways to put the news to the rest while also focusing on the point that Fan Lin had just shown one single solution of his said many solutions.

But even a single one was fine and as he had told, there was nothing to worry.

After all this time, Fan Lin's orange juice came and he took out a cake that he had prepared for himself the previous night and he did it in front of the waiter of the cafe that offered cakes and drinks.

The waiter silently left. Not before taking the Elders order though. They had also decided to eat something to cheer themselves and looking at Fan Lin, they were sure that he wasn't going to ask them to eat nor offer anything.

This was the uniqueness of Fan Lin. The one that truly made them speechless in pure befuddlement.

Fan Lin ignored this though. He took a sip of the freshly squeezed orange juice and took a bite of his cake.

[Happy Birthday Child]

It was a day worth celebrating.
