I don't know how long I slept. When I woke up again, the sun was shining down from the sky, and everything around was quiet and peaceful.
I sat up without a word, only to find I was still lying in the spot where I had been struck by lightning.
I quickly looked towards where Lin Chun was, and then I realized that Lin Chun was still unconscious.
I ran over to check on him and found that he was still breathing, which immediately put me at ease.
My gaze fixed on the spot where he had been struck by lightning. The previously charred skin had now completely shed, revealing new skin underneath.
This skin looked delicate and smooth, but I could sense a faint flicker of lightning within it.
I sat down beside him and let out a long sigh. As long as Lin Chun was fine, there was nothing to worry about.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that the lightning and flames had been clashing within my body before…
I quickly closed my eyes and began to check the situation within my body.
This check left me completely stunned!
I had expected that the collision of lightning and flames would cause significant damage to my body. Either the flames would overcome the lightning, and I would continue to wield the power of fire, or the lightning would defeat the flames, and I would, like Lin Chun, use the power of lightning from then on.
However, this was not the case within my body at this moment.
The lightning and flames had intertwined perfectly; the flames and lightning were now indistinguishable from each other.
Seeing this, I was utterly bewildered.
I never imagined that I could wield the power of two attributes simultaneously.
Could it be that attributes do not repel each other?
I quickly called out to Elder Yu.
"You're awake?" Elder Yu's voice came through, with a hint of relief in his tone.
But I was not in the mood to dwell on that. "Senior, what's happening to me? Lightning and flames… they're both present in my body…"
"Don't worry too much…" Elder Yu said with a smile. "Do you feel anything abnormal in your body?"
Upon hearing this, I carefully sensed within myself and then shook my head. "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong, but I feel like my strength has increased significantly…"
"So, what are you worried about?" Elder Yu asked with a smile.
"This…" I paused.
"As long as there's no abnormality in your body, it means there's no issue…" Elder Yu said with a smile. "But you are quite brave. I felt my heart race just witnessing this situation. If I were able to use my powers to help you, I would have intervened immediately…"
I smiled wryly. Honestly, this was something I hadn't expected either.
"Has anything like this happened before?" I quickly asked.
"No…" Elder Yu shook his head. "In our understanding, a person can only possess one attribute, and once decided, it can never be changed…"
"But why is this happening in my body?" I asked urgently.
"I don't know the reason yet…" Elder Yu thought for a moment. "But if there is a reason, I think there's only one possibility…"
"What is it?" I asked.
"The tattoo on your chest… that is, the power of the Tree of Life, is what allows you to possess two attributes simultaneously!" Elder Yu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, I could only nod in silence.
It seemed there were no other possibilities I could think of right now.
But as long as my body was unharmed, it was a great fortune.
At this moment, I looked at Lin Chun. "By the way, Senior, how long were we unconscious?"
"Three days!" Elder Yu replied.
"I can't believe so much time has passed…" I smiled and then sat down beside Lin Chun.
After nearly half a day more had passed, Lin Chun's finger suddenly twitched.
Then I saw Lin Chun open his eyes, and a flicker of lightning flashed within them!
Seeing this, my eyes lit up. I looked at Lin Chun. "How do you feel now?"
Lin Chun looked at me with some confusion, then said, "Brother Lu… I… what is this…"
"You were struck by lightning and then… unconscious…" I said with a smile. "Quickly check your body…"
Hearing this, Lin Chun rubbed his head, trying to clear his mind, and then examined his body.
Immediately, a look of excitement appeared on his face. "Brother Lu… within my body… there's the power of lightning…"
Hearing this, I nodded slowly.
It seemed Lin Chun had activated his attribute.
Lin Chun excitedly checked his body, an indescribable joy and happiness on his face.
"Do you want to try it out first?" I asked. "I've never seen what the lightning attribute looks like…"
"I'll show you right now!" Lin Chun said with a smile, then directly extended his hand…
