Rise of the White Dragon – Chapter 62: Are You Really My Mother?

Chapter 62: Are You Really My Mother?

As soon as Elias saw that Cristina was stronger than he imagined and could be more serious, he immediately launched a series of strong punches.

Cristina, who increased her strength to just over one third, dodged all the punches that came towards her perfectly. She also noticed how excellent the technique’s movements were: Queen Cobra’s Body. It was like Luan had told her before: as long as she mastered all 36 moves, she would be very strong when fighting hand-to-hand. This was mainly because this technique left a woman’s body more flexible than normal, being able to move very fast and also dodge all types of blows.

As soon as Cristina decided to attack, she acted fast and came very close to Elias and punched Elias in the stomach with ? of her strength.

Elias felt as if he had been hit by a kick from a horse. He flew for two meters before crashing into the house wall. With a loud noise, the mark of Elias’ body was indented in the wall, almost breaking it.

Seeing this, Olivia was very surprised and worried.

Luan approached Elias and put his hand on his shoulder and used his Qi to help him heal, although not to 100%. It was still enough to make Elias just feel some pain, but nothing too serious.

“Like? What’s going on here? That girl, how can she be so strong?” Olivia, who was silent, cried out in disbelief. She didn’t make any more noise as she saw that her son was fine, however, that didn’t stop her from being shocked. After all, her son was almost 90 kilos and even so, he was thrown by a punch that came from the fist of a girl so small, how could she not be shocked?

“Luan…” Elias also looked at Luan for an answer. It was the first time that he had seen such a strong and abnormal girl at the same time. Even an Army Major wouldn’t have that kind of strength…

“Okay, this is it… Do you remember the news about the mysterious crack in the newspaper?” Luan had already spoken to his mother and sisters, and Ingrid and they knew he was not going to tell the exact truth. However, he would still let them know a few things.

“Yes, I remember.” Elias nodded and waited for him to continue talking.

“So, I got into this mysterious crack by chance and got an old technique that strengthens the body. It may seem surreal, but the truth is that after training with this technique, we are all several times stronger than ordinary humans.” Luan explained some truths, mixed with lies.

He couldn’t just tell everyone that he knew what he told his mother and sisters, and Ingrid. It was better not to know so much, and also not to know that he had more than one technique. Although he wanted to help his friend, there was a limit that he could help.

In addition, it was already a huge advantage for Elias to discover and learn the technique he intended to teach. And when the awakening happened, he could teach even more, however, for the time being, he couldn’t do much, or else he could end up doing more harm than good, mainly because Elias’s family was a military family. If Elias’s father, who was an Army General who was just below the position of Marshal, if he knew, he was able to put the army’s obligation above all else and would try to force Luan to hand over the techniques he had to the army.

Of course, if Luan refused to deliver, it was almost impossible to force him. However, this could create a friction between him and Elias’ father, which was not the result that Luan wanted. After all, they did not know what to expect and even if he told some things, it would not change much. The idea was to share the technique of creating body foundation through the game he was creating, just as he planned, just so the humans of planet Earth would get stronger and be able to defend themselves against invaders.

“How can something like this exist? This is really serious… Are you kidding me?” Elias was skeptical about it. It was too unreal to believe such a thing.

“Why would I lie?” Luan asked nonchalantly. “If you don’t believe me, fight my sister or fight me. If you do, you will understand the difference in strength. In fact, when you fought Cristina, she only used a maximum of 1/3 of her strength.”

“Impossible! Was she that strong and didn’t even use all her strength?” Elias fell on his ass onto the floor. He then went to the corner of the room and crouched with empty eyes as he started to draw circles on the floor, feeling depressed. He was 19 years old, and had been training his body since he was 7 years old and even so, he was unable to make a 14 year old girl fight seriously against him and still lost against her.

How could he not be depressed?

“Stop all the drama. A man as big as you getting so depressed just because he lost so badly to a 14 year old girl, so much that you couldn’t even fight back, there’s no reason for so much drama,” Olivia said harshly. Although she was very shocked by this news, she recovered quickly. She had a strong mentality, and even though she didn’t believe 100% in what she heard, she was still willing to try to understand.

“How can you say that to your son? Are you really my mother?” Elias started to cry. “Uwaaa, waaaa, waaaa…”

“This boy…” Olivia sighed and said, “Don’t mind him. Go on, explain more about it. I still can’t convince myself that this is true.”

“Auntie, it’s true. I can show you.” Catharina took a step forward, and walked over to Elias and took him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up like a simple potato sack. It was surprising that she was able to raise a man as big as Elias so casually.

Although it was hard to believe, what Olivia saw was real. Elias also stopped crying and became disbelieving.

With just one hand, Catharina with her thin arm, which looked like it would break if squeezed with a little force, had managed to lift him?

“My God, I must be dreaming. I need to wake up!” Elias hit his head against the wall, and he was dizzy, however, it was not enough to “wake him up” from this reality.

When he was about to hit his head on the wall again, Luan stopped him. “Are you trying to kill yourself?”

“But, but… Is this really real?” Elias looked like a fool. He felt the pain in his head go away very quickly, but little did he know that Luan was transferring some of his Qi to help him recover faster. “Oh, the pain in my head is gone.”

“I helped you recover,” Luan said nonchalantly.

“How did you do it?” Elias asked. He didn’t see Luan do anything abnormal, nor did he even give him medicine to take, so how?

“This is even more difficult to explain. Just imagine that I gave you a medicine for you to take without you noticing, and that’s it.” Luan was too lazy to explain Qi to him.

Elias managed to calm down and asked, “Okay, let me see if I understand. There is a technique for training the body, and using this technique I can strengthen myself and be several times stronger, is that right?”

“Yes, exactly that,” Luan said, “I am saying all this to you and your aunt because I am concerned that these mysterious cracks will become a bigger problem in the future. After all, in the mysterious crevice I entered, there were mutant animals that were several times stronger than the animals we know. Furthermore, I believe that intelligent life exists in at least one of these mysterious cracks, and if these beings invade our planet…”

“If that is true, it would be a real problem because being stronger and faster is a huge advantage. Even using weapons on our side, they could dodge the shots and kill easily. Those who are faster and stronger will be the victor in the end. And if they’re smart, the danger triples.” Elias began to think rationally. Despite the previous shock, he was not stupid, if not, he would not have become a captain at such a young age.

“Now you understand? Okay, I’m going to teach you and Aunt Olivia the technique, and you can find out for yourself if I’m telling the truth,” Luan said.
