Noble Scion

Douluo Calendar, Year 2631

This year, Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect broke through to become the "youngest Titled Douluo in history."

This year, the protagonist Tang San was born.

This year, Lin Feng was three years old and awakened the memories of his past life.

After awakening those memories, Lin Feng finally understood what King Qin Guang had meant by giving him a good background by his standards. In this life, Lin Feng's father, Lin Lan, was a hereditary Count of the Heaven Dou Empire. His Martial Soul was the Battle Soul Blade, and he was a level 63 six-ring Soul Emperor. His mother, Hua Jieyu, possessed the Seven Star Sword Martial Soul and was also a six-ring Soul Emperor, with Soul Power at level 64. Because their Martial Souls had an extremely high compatibility, the couple possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Furthermore, both their blade and sword Martial Souls were high-attack Weapon Spirits, making their Martial Soul Fusion Skill as powerful as that of a top-tier Soul Douluo. The couple loved each other dearly, and their family life was warm and easygoing. They had little desire for power and did not involve themselves in all sorts of messy political struggles. With their own strength and their current title—which was not top-tier, but far from low-ranking—their lives in the Heaven Dou Empire could be called free and carefree.

Lin Feng's background made him a proper second-generation minor official and rich kid, perfectly matching his idea of a good family. He had always felt that this sort of family was very comfortable: wealthy and influential, but not at the very top. He could enjoy luxury and prosperity without bearing the pressure of a top-tier family, and the struggles at the highest level generally would not reach them. Given his parents' strength, few people in the Heaven Dou Empire would dare provoke them. Moreover, after awakening his memories and recalling the first three years of his life, he knew that his parents had doted on him dearly. In this life, no matter what Martial Soul he awakened, whether he chose to coast or work hard, he could live a happy and prosperous life.

What was more, Lin Feng already knew that he would definitely awaken Twin Top-tier Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power. He had practically already secured his ticket to becoming a Titled Douluo. Based on his understanding of this world, even if he simply cultivated step by step, breaking through to Titled Douluo would not be especially difficult for him. So long as he did not court death, he was already a reserve Underworld civil servant. Still, with so many innate advantages, Lin Feng wanted to become a god in this world. When he returned to the Underworld, perhaps he could land himself a minor leadership position. That would make life quite flavorful indeed.

But having come to another world and possessing such excellent innate conditions, setting his sights only on becoming a Titled Douluo would be truly shortsighted. As the saying went, since he was already here, he had to make the most of it.

First, he had to figure out the current point in the timeline before planning his future direction. Although he knew it was the year 2631, he still could not match it to the story's timeline. When reading novels, who could remember so clearly which year corresponded to which event? He only remembered a few key events. Only by knowing the exact timeline could he know whether he still had a chance to scheme for the Mandarin Duck Pot. He had asked for the Divine Medicine King Chapter before coming here precisely to prepare for the Mandarin Duck Pot. He had simply been too excited at the time and forgotten to ask which point in the timeline he would arrive in. If the Douluo plot was already more than halfway through when he arrived, then the Mandarin Duck Pot would be completely out of reach. Although the Divine Medicine King Chapter would still be extraordinarily precious, his original goal could not be achieved. More importantly, whether he could scheme for that opportunity might determine which of two paths his future development would take. However, based on his memories of Heaven Dou City over the past three years, the main plot most likely had not begun yet.

No matter what he planned, everything had to start with the basics. He was three years old now. Although he could not begin cultivating yet, he could start preparing Medicinal Baths. The better the Medicinal Baths he took before awakening his Martial Soul, the better his physique would become. Then, he could even undergo Overlimit Absorption of spirit rings. It would benefit his future development either way, so he had to build a solid foundation. But he needed to think carefully about how to bring out the contents of the Divine Medicine King Chapter. Bringing them out sooner would not only benefit himself, but also help his parents' cultivation. Lin Feng did not feel distant from his parents in this life just because he had been reincarnated with memories. Setting aside King Qin Guang's warning before his reincarnation, Lin Feng had never felt that his relationship with his parents differed from anyone else's. He was simply too "clever," that was all.

"Feng'er, get up and have breakfast."

Just as Lin Feng was still thinking, his mother's voice came from outside. Forget it. He would get up and eat first, then tell his parents that he wanted to learn to read. Beginning his education at three was not early for a noble family. Lin Feng stuck out his butt and climbed out of bed, letting the maid fuss over his little arms and legs as she dressed him. Only then did it seem to suddenly feel real—he was no longer an adult. It had been far too long since he had experienced being handled at others' whim and having to tilt his head up to look at everyone. He could not quite describe the feeling, but it was rather strange.

While washing up, he looked in the mirror. Wow, what an adorable little boy. Thick brows and big eyes—if nothing unexpected happened, he should grow up quite handsome in this life. So long as he did not undergo some dramatic transformation and become uglier as he grew up. Sitting at the dining table and looking at his handsome father and beautiful mother, he reached his conclusion: he would not be ugly in this life. When his memories had awakened that morning, he had possessed clear recollections of the past three years, but they had felt like watching a movie. Only when he saw his parents did it feel real. His parents in this life really were good-looking.

"Good morning, Dad, Mom."

Hua Jieyu said, "Feng'er, come eat. Mommy made little wontons stuffed with Dawn Bright Deer meat, and I also boiled some Dawn Crowing Chicken eggs. Eat more—they're good for your body."

Lin Feng thanked his mother as he began eating breakfast. No wonder noble children can usually awaken at least some Soul Power. They eat spirit beast meat from childhood to nourish their bodies. After eating like that for several years until they awaken their Martial Souls at six, even if their Martial Soul quality is poor, they can still have a bit of Soul Power. If their Martial Soul quality is high to begin with, it can also raise their Innate Soul Power to some extent, which benefits their future cultivation. It truly isn't easy for commoners to rise under such conditions.

Lin Lan said, "Feng'er, today is your third birthday. What gift do you want? Tell Dad, and I'll prepare it for you."

Lin Feng suddenly realized, Oh, right. Today is my birthday. I'm kind of stupid—I awakened my memories today and was so busy thinking about all those 'major matters' that I forgot that, for a three-year-old, a birthday should be the biggest event in the world. It's been too long since I was a child. But what should a three-year-old even ask for on their birthday? Can someone tell me? Waiting online, kind of urgent.

Lin Feng said, "Dad, Mom, let's go play outside the city. Ride big horses, giddyup." Lin Feng remembered that his parents had taken him outside the city to ride horses before, and he had had a lot of fun. Wanting to go out and play again should be perfectly reasonable for a child, right?

Hua Jieyu said, "All right. Once we finish breakfast and get ready, we'll take Feng'er outside the city to ride big horses."

Lin Feng felt that he suddenly understood why King Qin Guang had sealed his memories for three years. It was not merely to help him adapt better to this world. Even though his memories had awakened now, he discovered that his reaction speed had not fully reached the level of his previous life. This body was genuinely three years old. Although his physical and mental development was far superior to that of ordinary children due to the steady supply of all kinds of high-quality food, it still could not directly compare with the brain development of his thirty-something-year-old self from his previous life. It was a little like having a computer processor that was not powerful enough but had to process an overload of information. It could still run normally, but its processing speed was a bit slow. Still, it was not a major issue. He could just think things through slowly.

Lin Lan and Hua Jieyu took Lin Feng outside the city, where they happily played for the entire day. Hua Jieyu had also prepared plenty of delicious food, and the family of three had a picnic along the way.

When they returned to the city in the evening, Lin Feng told Hua Jieyu that he wanted to learn to read. Hua Jieyu had originally planned to send Lin Feng to a school for his early education, but Lin Feng did not want to mingle with a bunch of little brats, even though he was one himself now. In the end, after shamelessly acting cute and begging for a while, Hua Jieyu finally agreed not to send him to school and to teach him herself at home. Although Lin Feng felt somewhat embarrassed by his shameless cuteness, it seemed to open the door to a whole new world. He had rarely acted spoiled in his previous life. So this was what it felt like to act spoiled with his mother. During the process, he felt his mother's love more directly and also felt that his relationship with his parents had grown a step closer.
