Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 237: Coming Home

"Luan, I have always had a question." Ingrid looked at him.

"Yes?" Luan looked back.

"Is your Cloud Origin suitable for battle?" Ingrid asked dubiously.

"Wait a moment…" Luan closed his eyes and opened them. Then he raised his right hand to the sky. Clouds began to gather and soon took shape. A gigantic arm was created from the clouds. It then suddenly started to fall like a meteor with fire all around.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Ingrid lost her balance and almost fell, but Luan caught her.

"This, this…" Ingrid was speechless.

"Ingrid, my clouds are more special than you think. I don't use them in battle because it's not necessary, but observe, you can see what happened." He brought her to where the gigantic hand had fallen.? A gigantic crater with an area of ??32,900 km2 had opened up where the hand fell and a lake appeared, as the hand turned to water afterward.

"So, maybe it's weak?" Luan smiled.

"Weak? If this is weak, what is strong?" Ingrid asked wryly and said, "Is it okay to have done that? I mean you changed the geography of the entire place, creating a huge lake!"

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Water is always good," Luan said nonchalantly in response to her question.

"Well, if you think so, it must be true." Ingrid nodded in agreement.

This 'phenomenon' that shook the whole earth, looking like an earthquake, drew the attention of many people, and those who saw the giant cloud hand fall from the sky were scared to the point of peeing in their pants, as they thought that a deity had started to exterminate everyone.

When they waited a bit and saw that nothing else happened, many living beings later went towards the rumbling sound that echoed. When they saw the gigantic lake, they were in total shock.

"How strong does someone have to be to be able to do something like this?"

"It's scary."

"I saw a gigantic hand fall from the sky. This was done by some celestial being for sure!"

"But, look, it's fresh water. Weren't we worried about the lack of water?"

"Yeah! This was done to help us!"

"We're going to live, we're going to live!"

Children and adults danced and sang after they discovered the 'truth' behind the mysterious lake that was made by a gigantic hand that fell from the sky.

"So even though you didn't use the clouds in fights, it wasn't because they weren't strong." Ingrid understood now.

"There was no need. I can even make lightning strike, but that's not too surprising. But in the future when it gets stronger, it will be," Luan said with conviction.

Ingrid believed him.

"Now the people close to here can even raise fish in the lake. After all, it's very big," Ingrid said.

"Perhaps." Luan nodded and said a little excitedly, "Let's hurry, there's a bunch of Red Crabs nearby! There's about 550 of them and they're all Second and Third Order!"

Once there, they were greeted with an infestation of Red Crabs. They were all huddled together with approximately 80 to 90 cm per specimen.

Luan began killing them quickly by transforming into his white dragon metamorphosis, and with his agility and claws, he killed them very quickly so that only the afterimages were possible to be seen.

Ingrid was also strong, killing with the scythe, spinning, slashing, jabbing, and slamming. From every angle she attacked. It was like she was dancing while killing the Red Crabs.

In less than 30 minutes more than 500 Red Crabs died. Luan held back a bit and let Ingrid kill more, so he ended up killing exactly 300 Red Crabs. Ingrid killed 233.

After trading for credits, Luan had earned 26,700. Ingrid was happy, she made 21,203 credits.

"Luan, are we going back?" Ingrid asked.

"Alright." Luan nodded. He knew she was worried about her mother and sister.

The two climbed onto the flying cloud and headed out towards the city. Unlike the others, the large metallic portal could only be opened by a few people. Those from a world that was destroyed or natives to this world could not open nor pass through the gate.

When it opened, many looked on with envy. After all, being able to go through meant that one could exchange credits directly. They had to trade with stores that charged more than double the price that the items were originally purchased.

Luan bought many Third Order pills, as well as armor for his family. Ingrid also bought some things for Monica, Sebastian, Amanda, and Sebastian's daughter. Monica could not cultivate her body, but she could cultivate her Qi, and she had arrived in the Second Order with Qi.

"Luan, is there anything that can improve my sister's body?" Ingrid asked.

"There is. It's a pill that costs 10,000 credits. Do you want to buy it?" Luan asked.

"I will. After all, she is my sister," Ingrid asked the name of the pill and bought it along with her other things, spending a total of 22,000 credits. She had 14,811 thousand credits left.

Luan spent 33,000. He would help his family at least reach the Third Order and also bought them the best armor and weapons of the Third Order. Well, there were still 44,498 credits left for him.

They started down the stairs and exited the same tower they entered, returning to the island.

"Luan, Ingrid!" Amanda and Maira were happy to see them and were surprised by the outfits they were wearing, especially since Ingrid wore a veil over her head.

It was night when they arrived.

"I made dinner. Eat some first." Maira smiled as she spoke. Ingrid and Luan accepted her kindness and ate a lot.

After dinner, Luan said, "We bought a lot of things in the tower. This will be enough to help you all get to the Third Order." He didn't see the Elite Troop, but he wasn't surprised.

"You didn't spend it all on us and forgot about yourselves, right?" Maira frowned.

"Of course not, did you see our armor? They are of the Fourth Order and have a very strong defense, and our weapons are also powerful. There were also various other things we bought. After all, we earned a lot of credits," Luan explained.

"Oh, good." Maira nodded in approval.

"Little sister, this is for you." Ingrid smiled at Monica and handed her an attractive pill that sparkled like a rare diamond. Unlike before, Monica was currently very fond of Ingrid and was very happy with the gift. She didn't know what it was, but soon accepted it and swallowed it.

"My body is getting hot...!" she exclaimed.

"This is normal, don't worry. Her organs are getting stronger. Before they were created artificially, but now they're becoming something real. In other words, she will be able to cultivate her body," Luan explained.

"Luan..." Ingrid looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I know, you want to stay and go with them, right?" Luan guessed correctly and said, "It's okay, you have Fourth Order power, but you're not officially Fourth Order, so you can only enter floors 30 to 40. I'll go alone, as I'm officially Fourth Order and I can't enter the lower floors. However, I will come back after 1 month."

"Thanks." She hugged him and was so grateful that he understood her without even her speaking.

Later, the two went to the bedroom and it was a sleepless night. They did so much because they knew they wouldn't see each other for at least 1 month.

"Be careful." Ingrid kissed her beloved.

"Son, don't be hasty now when you're alone. I know you might end up not being so careful when you are without Ingrid." Maira was worried.

"I will, don't worry." Luan gave a reassuring smile, but that didn't alleviate Maira's worry.

Luan entered the tower and started up the stairs. He went to door 50 and opened it.
