—------------------—
After five days of long travel, the old man and the young boy finally returned to the Sect.
"I'll go back to report first. As for you, kid, go home and have a good meal."
The Grand Elder left that message and immediately walked towards the Qi and Blood Soaring Hall deep within the Sect.
Looking at the Grand Elder's back, Chen Yi also sighed, "The life of a wage earner," before heading home. However, on the way, Chen Yi unexpectedly learned from Zhang Run that her father, Zhang Tao, had returned this morning.
"Hmm? That's not right. Didn't they say a five-year rotation? How come Fifth Uncle came back early after only two and a half years?"
Full of questions, Chen Yi quickly returned home. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Chen Zhen, who was slurping a bowl of noodles, and at the same time, there was the sound of ping-pong from the kitchen.
"Dad! You're back too!"
Seeing Chen Zhen, Chen Yi eagerly went to greet him. Chen Zhen, seeing this, put down his chopsticks, came to Chen Yi, patted his shoulder, nodded in satisfaction, and said,
"Not bad. You're a bit darker than a few years ago, but much stronger. It looks like you haven't been lazy these past few years, and your studies haven't fallen behind."
"Of course," hearing Chen Zhen's praise, Chen Yi accepted it all and said smugly, "During this time, I've swept through many thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, and not long ago, I defeated a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Grandmaster as easily as cutting melons and vegetables."
Facing his parents, Chen Yi was never modest; he directly bragged about himself to the heavens, recounting his glorious achievements during this period.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? How did you run into those lunatics?" Chen Zhen asked, puzzled. It wasn't strange for Chen Yi and the Grand Elder to go out hunting Spirit, directly confronting Spirit Beasts, but encountering people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"It was like this..."
Chen Yi recounted the heroic tale of how he and the Grand Elder, after hunting Spirit Beasts, coincidentally encountered Yu Yuan'ao and his grandson coercing the Ye Family, and then, seeing injustice, they drew their swords to help.
After listening, Chen Zhen rubbed his chin for a while, feeling the stubble, and said thoughtfully, "So, you not only saved the Ye Family but also gained a Spirit Bone for free."
As for why he didn't mention Yu Yuan'ao and the others, it was simply because in Chen Zhen's eyes, they were just there to deliver Spirit Bones. Although their Spirit was commendable, they were not worth mentioning.
Yu Yuan'ao, a "three-no" person (no combat power, no talent, no fighting will), to be immodest, Chen Zhen could defeat him within ten moves and kill him within thirty moves; he was simply not worth mentioning.
"However, it's not bad that Yi'er met people from the Ye Family," Chen Zhen thought to himself.
The Body Sect and the Ye Family had a good relationship, and the Nine-Heart Begonia was the strongest healing Spirit on the continent. If Chen Yi could gain some good karma from this, it would definitely be beneficial in the future.
"Forget it. The Grand Elder went with Yi'er. His strength and experience are beyond mine. Why think so much?"
Shaking his head, Chen Zhen looked down at Chen Yi and said in a deep voice, "Show me your Spirit!"
After returning, Chen Zhen heard from people in the Sect that Chen Yi had awakened an incredibly powerful Body Martial Soul, which even the Sect Master was shocked by. They even speculated that Chen Yi's Spirit might have the potential for a golden-level secondary Awakening.
A golden-level potential Body Martial Soul was only a hypothesis among previous generations of Body Sect powerhouses. Many even preferred to believe in a transition from silver-level secondary Awakening to golden-level tertiary Awakening rather than the theoretical possibility of a golden-level secondary Awakening.
Hearing this, Chen Yi's spirit power circulated, and soon his entire body swelled up. Streaks of purple-gold lightning patterns appeared on Chen Yi's skin, and terrifying arcs of lightning condensed in his palms. He seemed to transform into a Thunder God descended upon the world.
As the thunder surged forth, two purple spirit rings, signifying a thousand years of cultivation, slowly rose from beneath Chen Yi's feet.
When Chen Zhen saw those two thousand-year spirit rings, his eyes suddenly constricted. Although he had already learned from his wife that Chen Yi might achieve a thousand-year first spirit ring, hearing about it and seeing it with his own eyes were ultimately different. A twenty-sixth-level Spirit Grandmaster possessing two thousand-year spirit rings was truly too shocking.
"Good! Good! Good! In this generation, my Body Sect is destined to flourish greatly in the world! My son will reach the pinnacle!"
Three consecutive "good"s showed Chen Zhen's immense joy. No father would not wish for his child to become a figure of worldwide renown in the future, and Chen Zhen was no exception.
Innate spirit power level twenty, plus the God Legacy mentioned by his wife, this era was destined to be the era where his son would dominate the universe.
At this moment, Mu Xi, who was cooking, also came out with a pot of soup. Looking at Chen Yi's two purple spirit rings, her heart also trembled. She truly couldn't imagine how far her son could go in the future.
Tang Chen? Qian Daoliu? They were merely his starting point.
But upon hearing Chen Zhen's booming laughter, which almost shattered the roof, she quickly stopped him and said irritably,
"What are you yelling about in the middle of the night? If your brothers, sisters-in-law, and siblings next door come over later, see if they don't teach you a lesson!"
"Hmph, I gave birth to such a good son, and I'm not allowed to laugh a few times? If they're not convinced, they can come and spar with me."
That's what he said, but Chen Zhen still obediently shut his mouth. For no other reason, there were a few people near his home who were not to be trifled with.
Mu Xi placed the soup on the table, then returned to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. She then gave Chen Zhen a white look, her tone full of disdain: "What do you mean you gave birth? I gave birth to him, I carried him for ten months!"
Chen Zhen wasn't angry; he just kept smiling apologetically.
"That's right, that's right. Wife, you are the great hero of our Body Sect. The fact that our son has such great talent is all thanks to you, my dear wife!"
"Hmph, that's right!"
Hearing this, Mu Xi gave a proud little snort, clearly quite pleased with Chen Zhen's flattery. She turned to Chen Yi and said, "Yi'er, have you eaten? Mom made a pot of Dragon Bone Eight Treasures Soup today, you should try some!"
Seeing his mother's rare display of pride, Chen Yi grinned and said, "Okay, I've been away for so long, I've really missed your cooking, Mom."
As he spoke, he sat down at the table, took a ladle, and began to serve himself soup, not forgetting to ask Chen Zhen curiously,
"By the way, Dad, aren't you in Hanhai City? Why did you suddenly come back? I remember it was agreed to rotate every five years."
"A while ago, the Sect Master suddenly sent word for me and others to return. Not only me, but the Second Elder and your Eldest Paternal Aunt have also returned."
"I suspect it might be related to you."
As he spoke, the smugness on Chen Zhen's face was impossible to hide. Before Chen Yi arrived, the Sect Master had already announced a high-level Sect meeting for tomorrow, clearly for Chen Yi's matter.
Chen Zhen could fully imagine how much attention his son would receive tomorrow, and he himself would become the object of envy, jealousy, and hatred from others.
"Damn it, how come you get all the good things? Not only did you complete a silver-level secondary Awakening, but you married a beautiful and powerful wife, and your son is a Genius who will shake the past and present!"
"You really deserve to die!"
Just thinking about the gritting teeth expressions and envious voices of his Senior Brothers tomorrow, Chen Zhen felt as if he was about to fly.
It's okay, come on, express your unwillingness with the most vicious words!
Chen Yi didn't know his dad had added so much drama for himself in his mind. He was just stunned for a moment when he heard about his Eldest Paternal Aunt.
The Eldest Paternal Aunt Chen Zhen mentioned was Chen Zhen's eldest sister of his generation—Hong Yue. Her Spirit was a Phantom Blade, a short sword that existed between tangible and intangible forms, incredibly sharp.
According to Sect rules, Hong Yue shouldn't have been included in the ranking, but she was not only the only daughter of the previous generation's head Disciple, but her parents and elder brother had also all died in battle years ago protecting Sect Disciples. For this, the Sect made an exception and included her name among the core members.
Chen Yi was not clear about her spirit power, but before Chen Zhen's secondary Awakening, she was undoubtedly the strongest among the Body Sect's middle-aged generation, at least a mid-level Spirit Douluo.
Of course, after Chen Zhen completed his secondary Awakening, he surpassed Hong Yue and became the number one among the Sect's middle-aged generation.
It seems the Sect is about to make a big move, Chen Yi thought to himself.
His last departure was too hasty, and some things were not brought out. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Yi will definitely make an appearance tomorrow. It's time to make the Body Sect great in advance!
