Rise of the White Dragon-Chapter 19: The Fool

When he detected strange energy, although he was not sure, Luan thought it would be the Type 3 metal meteor. The chances of his being right were almost 90%. As he walked towards the strange energy he was feeling, Luan saw that it was coming from inside the sea.

'It would not be good if they saw me entering the sea...' If he entered the water and was seen by other people at this time of night on a cold day, it was possible that this would be misinterpreted. This is why Luan blurred the attention of the people who looked towards him to a red Ferrari not far away and rose from the sight of those people.

At that moment, Luan was already walking on the beach, heading towards the sea. Because it was dark, aside from the moonlight, it was difficult to see him, even without the ability he used to blur people's attention whenever they looked in his direction. It was as if he was invisible to them, but in reality, they were simply deceived and only noticed the reflection of the moon in the sea.

'It's getting stronger. I'm sure something with a lot of energy is in the sea.' Taking off his shirt and cell phone, he left them at the edge of the sea, then he waded in. Luan had a very strong body and managed to hold his breath for a long time. Currently, he would be able to stay underwater without breathing for almost 3 hours with ease.

Swimming, Luan felt with his senses the strange energy getting stronger and stronger. He continued swimming, going further and deeper into the sea. While swimming, with his improved vision thanks to cultivating, Luan was still able to see and saw a lot of fish swimming around him. When he moved his hands and feet to swim, the fish moved away from him a little.

'I'm close.' Luan felt that there was very little to find, and looking in the direction of the strange energy he was feeling, Luan determined that the meteorite was buried, or it was one of those rocks with slime that he was approaching.

Touching the stones at the bottom of the sea, Luan felt a strange energy in one of these stones. He took the stone that was covered with slime and rubbed his hand on it, pushing the slime away. That was when the emerald green color came out.

'As I imagined, it is a type 3 metal meteorite and of excellent quality. In addition, this should weigh 4 to 5 kilos. That will be enough to create two swords.' Luan was very excited, and holding the type 3 metal in one of his hands, which the metal was almost the size of a bowling ball, he started to swim back towards the shallows. When the water was below his neck, Luan started walking towards where his shirt and cell phone were laying.

Out of the water, Luan used his Qi to dry his body. Then he put his T-shirt back on and took out his cell phone and saw that he had a message on his WhatsApp.

Mother: [Son, there are two secretarial vacancies available in Florianópolis and another is here in Jurerê Internacional as my secretary. I have already seen Ingrid's resume and I am willing to accept her as my personal secretary. Talk to her and let me know what she decides.] - [20:46]

Mother: [In fact, I looked on the internet and saw that in Florianópolis it is quite cold, close to 10 degrees and it can get colder in the middle of the night. Don't forget to use a blanket at bedtime to avoid catching a cold. Good night.] - [20:47]

A smile formed on Luan's face when he saw these messages. He saw that it was now 20:56 and thought, 'It's still early; I'll send her a message.'

_ _

Luan: [Okay mom, I'm going to talk to her tomorrow and I'll tell you what her response will be. And you needn't worry, I'm well wrapped up.] - [20:57]

Mother: [Good. I wait for good news tomorrow, good night.] - [20:57]

Luan: [Good night mom.] - [20:57]

After that, Luan kept his cell phone in his pocket, and using an optical illusion, he remained invisible to anyone looking in his general direction. He then walked off the beach and walked down the avenue, heading towards the Dallas Hotel.

While walking on the avenue, he was no longer imperceptible, however, he drew attention from the onlookers who were looking at his hand, making them think it was a bowling ball, rather than from his looks.

On the way, Luan passed a poorly lit street that was up a small hill. As he walked, Luan frowned when a man in his 40's, 181 cm tall, wearing a black hat and black clothes, was running towards him and pulled out a hunting knife.

"Die!" The man, all in black, shouted, trying to stab the knife in Luan's face.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with this man's brain, Luan remained calm and easily dodged. He still had time to touch just one finger on the man before continuing to walk towards the top of the hill.

"Ahhhhhh! What is happening?" The man who tried to stab Luan started screaming very loudly in pain.

His white skin turned pink until it was blood-red. His screams got louder, and he no longer saw Luan's whereabouts. He felt as if his blood was bubbling, and it started to feel itchy. On his skin, red bubbles appeared and burst, spreading blood across his body. When scratching his skin, he saw it peel off as if he was peeling from being in the sun for a long time, but the situation was worse, since not just a thin layer of skin came out, but rather, it was to the point where his bone appeared.

Due to the man's screams, many people took to the street to see what was going on, and when they saw the man's condition, most of them started to vomit. Only a few still managed to keep from vomiting and called 911.

"My God, what's going on with this man?"

"Mercy, that's the devil's work!"

"I feel like I'm going to have a nightmare when I close my eyes."

"Is this some kind of drug?"

"My beloved Father!"

Before anyone knew it, there were already more than 10 people watching this scene. It was just a few minutes after the emergency began, but when they tried to get closer, the bubbles in the man's body started to burst even faster and the blood was splashing out.

"Andrey, you are wearing protective clothing. Come over and see what you can do." A nurse in a white coat said to another nurse in protective clothing.

"Okay." Andrey nodded and approached. But when he got in front of the man, the man was already foaming at the mouth and his eyes were white. Although the bubbles on his body continued to burst, he was no longer breathing and had no pulse. "He is dead."

'What horrible thing is this?... I've never seen anything like it in my life.' Andrey was incredulous. The current state of this man was very unnatural.

"We are going to put him on the stretcher and take him to the hospital," said a doctor who was in the ambulance car.

Almost half an hour ago, Luan returned to his suite at the Dallas Hotel. He held the type 3 metal meteorite while sanding away with some sandpaper he found in the bathroom drawer.

After polishing it a little, the emerald green color of the type 3 metal was noticeable. Although Luan wanted to start making a weapon for himself with this material, he knew it would be very difficult without first cultivating with a Qi technique. Thanks to his body technique, Luan could control the Qi of what was around him and his body, but with a Qi technique, he would be able to generate his own Qi. With that, he could generate fire through his Qi and melt the type 3 metal much more easily.

In addition, Luan needed a more appropriate place to do this. The ideal for him would be to do this when he returned to Jurerê Internacional and returned to the workshop he has in his house.

After polishing the emerald green type 3 metal, Luan took it to his room and kept it in the wardrobe at the bottom. With a salty smell of the sea, Luan went to take a shower soon after.
