Xun Ying's Elements

Xun Ying nodded her head.

"Okay, take a deep breath. Have faith and keep a blank mind."

Xun Ying took a deep breath. [Since Baobao trust you, then I will too.]

Xun Ying then sits in a lotus position, crossing her legs.

Lin Huan nodded, satisfied that Xun Ying is willing to trust her. In order to awaken the element inside of her before the coming age of 5, requires the person to give their complete trust to the awakener knowing full well that they are handing their life to the awakener.

Xun Ying had already known this fact.

[If she wants me dead, she wouldn't have prepared for me to come to this world as Baobao said. There is also no reason for her to welcome me and put me in a nice family. There must be a reason that she had me here just like the people who are summoned in the novel. Ugh. How troublesome.]

With that thought, Xun Ying enters the concentration state, clearing her mind of thought.

This is a person's most vulnerable state since they would need time to react if someone were to attack. And before one can react, the enemy would have already made their move.

Lin Huan smiles and taps Xun Ying in the middle of her forehead.

At that moment, a radiant yet gentle glow was seen when Lin Huan had touched Xun Ying's forehead.

"Ah Ying, now you must follow my direction strictly. Any mistakes would take your life."

"Ah Ying, did you sense anything? If you do, concentrate on making the Qi flow towards the lower Dantian."

Xun Ying can sense the energy from Lin Huan and follow her direction, leading it to the lower Dantian, Qihai.

Lin Huan can sense that her Qi had already flown towards Xun Ying's Qihai.

After a minute, her Qihai began to glow, as Xun Ying's own Qi came out and absorbed Lin Huan's energy.

Lin Huan quickly takes back her finger, staring at Xun Ying in shock. The normal reaction when performing this action was to repel the Qi, yet Xun Ying's had absorbed her.

[Well, Ah Ying really is an abnormal one.]

Xun Ying can sense that her Ai was released.

"Good. Ah Ying starts absorbing the surrounding Qi, following your instincts it will guide you."

Xun Ying started to circulate the Qi in her Qihai and her instincts told her to circulate it through her meridians and back in a cycle.

Then she started to sense the spiritual Qi around her.

In her inner world, she stood standing in a place of vast space, stretching miles upon miles.

In it, she saw 8 elements standing before.

"Ah Ying, start interacting with the elements and they will come to you on their own will. Whoever picked you is considered your element. How many elements you have is up to faith."

Xun Ying knew about this from the novels she had read.

Standing in from her is 8 figures representing each element, namely Fire, Wood, Metal, Water, Earth, Cosmos, Darkness, and Light.

"Greetings to the 8 origin elements, I'm Xun Ying!"

The eight look at each other.

"This one has the courage to actually want to awaken her Qi before 5."

The origin of Fire spoke first.

"Child, how old are you?"

"I'm two, three in a few weeks." Xun Ying answers without hesitation.

"Hm, two- wait for what? Two?!"The origin of Fire was surprised.

The other origins are shocked too.

They began speaking among themselves.

"Child, your name is Xun Ying as in?" The Origin of Darkness asked.

"Xun as in seeking and Ying as in shadow. Personally, my name meant one who will seek the dark and conquer the light." Xun Ying answers. [Since I've already gone with it. Why not?]

The origins were surprised.

"Being so arrogant at a young age." The Origin of Water mumbled.

Xun Ying heard her anyway. "I'm sorry, but this is my confidence in speaking."

Xun Ying smiled.

"Oh? Child, do you know that words bear a huge responsibility?" The Origin of Water raised her eyebrow.

"Of course I do. And I'm going to show it through my ability." [To conquer so that no one would find trouble with me and disturb my life.]

"How ambitious." The Origin of Fire smiled.

[Hm? They can't read my thoughts?]

"Child, since we have an affinity, I've decided to help you. I, Ye Hei, grant you the element of Darkness."

"Since Hei has chosen you, why not? I'm curious about your development. I, Tian Bai, grant you the element of Light."

[Yin and Yang, Light and Dark. Get one, get another free?]

"I like your personality. Don't disappoint me, kid. Show me what you can do with this element. I, Xing Cong, grant you the element of Cosmos."

"Since Zhu Que has chosen you must be special. I, Xiao Hong, grant you the element of fire."

The origin of earth nodded.

"I have my own ways. I sense that you have a large sense of responsibility, loyalty, and compassion. I, Tu, grant you the element of Earth. " Xun Ying nodded

"I'm sorry, but the element of metal doesn't suit you. And although Bai Hu that kid seems arrogant, he was a really pure and loyal cub inside, help me take care of him."

"Since Xuan Wu must choose you for a reason… and you manage to stay calm upon meeting us, I guess I'll also help you. I, Xue Bing, grant you the element of Water."

"I'm sorry, wood doesn't suit you. But that brat Qing Long, help me keep him under control."

And with that, Xun Ying's element has been decided.

[6 elements out of 8, better than expected.]

Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, and Cosmos.

[I'm still surprised that the origin of Cosmos gives me the element. Space, time, matter, and law. Hm, must be a much more simple version, space, and time perhaps. Hehehe, now my interest is piqued.]
