Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Oh. Third rank spirit power? Father, then am I considered powerful?” That was what the little boy was most concerned about.

“Yes, you are. You are very powerful. My son is the most powerful of all. Starting tomorrow, Father will guide you on the fundamentals of spirit power training,” Lan Xiao stroked his son’s hair as he replied.

Lan Xuanyu was clever and adorable since young. He always attracted the tender affection of others.

“You’ve decided?” Nan Cheng pulled on Lan Xiao’s sleeves.

Lan Xiao smiled. “I’ve said it before, I will take care of you and our son. I can afford to do it. It’s better not to expose his secret.”

“En, we will go according to your plan.” Nan Cheng initiated a hug on her husband’s arm. Despite his personal strength being inferior to hers, he was the genuine backbone of the family.

The most important thing for a man was to take responsibility.

After dinner, Lan Xuanyu was unable to fight off drowsiness, and so, he went to bed early.

He had his own small room; it was blue with a pointed roof.

A small bathroom and a three-meter square cloakroom.

It was extremely cozy and comfortable.

His bed frame was in the form of a spirit guidance sports car; it was Lan Xuanyu’s dream of being a race car driver since he was four.

Upon seeing any spirit guidance sports cars, his eyes would turn remarkably bright.

Thus, his room was also decorated with all sorts of objects related to cars.

Lan Xuanyu fell into a deep, deep sleep.

Gradually, his tiny frame entered the dream world.

It was extremely blurred within as Lan Xuanyu could only make out a soft yet sweet-sounding cry, and faint haloes in the distance.

One of the haloes was gold, while the other was silver.

They hovered around him.

At the same time, his actual body started emitting a faintly discernible radiance, one without energy, yet was able to flicker with light.

Between gold and silver.

Just like when he was in the egg.

He fell into a deeper sleep, while the gold and silver light gradually receded.

As though nothing had happened.

But when the two halos completely disappeared, a white ring of light appeared silently beneath his feet and gradually rose up. At this time, his entire body suddenly released a faint gold light; a clear contrast against the white halo.

The halo gradually disappeared above his head.

But it wasn’t over yet.

His body suddenly turned silver, and another halo of light slowly surged upward from his feet and climbed to his head.

Before completely disappearing.

The room plunged into darkness once more, but within the darkness, it seemed as though a small vortex had appeared within, devouring the surrounding lights, so much that even the moonlight from the outside was no longer able to cast its light on the floor.

Situated at Lan Xuanyu’s lower abdomen, the vortex continued to absorb light for an unknown period of time before silently disappearing, and a dark blue ball soon floated out from his navel.

It floated toward him.

And landed on his right thumb.

The dark blue light receded and remained unmoved.

And gradually became a small ring.

With a thickness of less than 5 millimeters, it was a perfect fit for his thumb.

Little Xuanyu remained in deep sleep. It was almost as though everything that had occurred around him was completely unrelated to him and made no interactions with him.

The next morning.

The instant the first glimmer of light appeared, Little Xuanyu’s door was pushed open and Lan Xiao walked in.

He appeared by his son’s bed and stroked the little boy’s forehead. Ensuring that his body temperature was normal, he then gently patted him awake. “Xuanyu, it’s time to get up.”

Lan Xuanyu opened his misty eyes and looked at his father through his tired eyes. “Father, awhile more.”

“It’s time for you to get up. The early morning is the golden time of the day. Although you are still on your summer vacation, you will have to attend school in the new school term.

“And additionally, you are now a Spirit Master. Despite being at the lowest Spirit Scholar rank, you are still a Spirit Master.

“Don’t you want to become strong?”

“I want to,” Little Xuanyu replied without hesitation. His father’s words had caused him to be more awake.

“Then it’s time to get up. From today onward, Father will guide you on the path of training spirit power.”

While explaining things, Lan Xiao carried his son out of bed.

“Eh?” Right at this time, his eyes landed on Lan Xuanyu’s right hand.

“Son, where did you get this ring from?” Lan Xiao asked in surprise.

Little Xuanyu looked at his own hand and replied in a daze, “I don’t know. It’s not mine.”

Lan Xiao brought the small hand up for a closer look.

It was a dark blue ring that looked extremely abstruse, and it had a faint yet meticulous decorative design on it that was hard to discern.

But as he was inspecting it carefully, he suddenly felt a faint spell over him, as though the ring was devouring his consciousness.

He quickly turned his head; his heart overwhelmed with shock.

Six years... Ever since Little Xuanyu came to them, it had been a full six years.

For six years, Little Xuanyu never displayed anything out of the ordinary. His daily life was so ordinary that the researchers of the institute forgot about his history and only saw him as Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao’s son.

But it seemed that the ordinary life stopped the day before Xuanyu’s spirit was awakened. After his spirit was awakened, everything changed.

How would they be able to find another Blue Silver Grass with the Innate Full Spirit Body?

Whether it was a Blue Silver Emperor or not, at least such an existence had occurred before.

But where did the ring come from?

Lan Xiao quickly carried Lan Xuanyu up. He then pulled open the curtains and carefully inspected the windowsill.

There were no traces of forced entry.

Everything looked extremely normal.

“Son, do you have any recollection? When did you put on this ring?”

Little Xuanyu shook his head.

Lan Xiao: “When you look at it, do you feel uncomfortable?”

This was the most crucial thing that Lan Xiao was worried about—that the ring might affect his son’s body.

“No, I don’t. It looks nice.” Little Xuanyu looked at the ring on his finger excitedly. He then tried to pull the ring out.

But no matter how much force he exerted, it felt as though the ring was attached to his finger as it wouldn’t even budge an inch.

“Father, it can’t be taken off.”

“Let Father try.” Lan Xiao cautiously extended his hand toward the mysterious ring in hopes of taking it off.

But, a strange scene occurred.

The instant Lan Xiao’s finger interacted with the ring, a strange force was released; it suddenly pushed his palm away.

Due to the sudden occurrence, Lan Xiao loosened his hands and dropped Lan Xuanyu on the ground.

“Ouch. Father—”

Fortunately, they were by the bed, and Little Xuanyu merely dropped onto the soft bed. However, the sudden drop was still a shock.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my son. Father didn’t do that intentionally.”

Lan Xiao was forced two steps back by the sudden repulsion before being able to stabilize himself. However, he was unable to stop the surge of emotions in his heart.

How could he remain calm?

Where did the ring come from?

It was impossible for him to touch or pull it off.

Everything pointed to the fact that his son was different.

Six years, after six years, Xuanyu had finally displayed peculiarities that no common child would have.

What can I do now?

What should I do in light of this?

“Xuanyu, go and take a shower. Father will look for you after.”
