A Day of Missing Mom, Heavy Water Domain!

Lin Qing was even more pleasantly surprised by the third ability of the Heavy Water Inverse Scale.

"Heavy Water Domain": Once activated, it spread a black Heavy Water Domain centered on the user.

Enemies within the domain endured up to Twenty Times Gravity, had their Soul Power suppressed by thirty percent, their Soul Power Circulation Speed reduced by thirty percent, and suffered continuous Heavy Water erosion, increasing Soul Skill Consumption by thirty percent.

"Domain!"

This thing was a rare commodity on Douluo Continent.

Even among Titled Douluo, only a few could awaken one.

And this domain combined control, suppression, and depletion. It was practically a miniature debuff factory.

"Brutal enough. I like it!"

Lin Qing smacked his lips.

Once it was activated in a group fight, half the enemy side would be crippled on the spot.

This was far more practical than any Soul Skill.

He could not have been more satisfied with this External Soul Bone.

Just as he was savoring his delight, Qing Zhu opened her eyes as well.

The little girl's first reaction was to touch her chest.

The Dark Gold diamond-shaped mark was faintly warm, rising and falling with her breathing as though it were alive.

"Dad, I succeeded!"

Usually cool and reserved, Qing Zhu rarely showed such excitement. She leaped up and threw herself into Lin Qing's arms.

Lin Qing smiled as he caught her and spun her around once.

"Quick, tell me. What powerful abilities did you get?"

"The basic effect is a one hundred percent All Attribute Boost, and there are two special abilities."

"The first is called 'Reverse Scale.' It lets me enter Berserk State, increasing all my attributes by one hundred percent for ten minutes. After it ends, I'll be weakened for an hour."

It came from the same source as his Golden Dragon Inverse Scale.

It was simply weaker, and its duration was shorter.

The difference was only natural.

Her Soul Bone was one hundred thousand years old, while his was three hundred thousand years old.

"The second is 'Heavy Water Body Protection.' It can form a Heavy Water barrier around my body and generate up to ten times gravity."

It was also similar to his Heavy Water Domain.

But its range was much smaller, making it a weakened version.

"Not bad, not bad."

Lin Qing rubbed her head.

With Qing Zhu's current Soul Power Level, these two abilities were already quite formidable.

Once her Soul Power increased in the future, their effects would improve further.

Wu'er and Rou Rou also gathered around at that moment.

The two little girls' eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Qing Zhu, Qing Zhu, hurry and show us your External Soul Bone!"

Rou Rou tugged at Qing Zhu's sleeve.

Wu'er was even more direct. "Try that Heavy Water Body Protection! I'll help you test its effects!"

Qing Zhu looked toward Lin Qing. Only after seeing Dad nod did she take a deep breath.

Black light surged out from the mark on her chest.

Ink-like Heavy Water formed a layer of protective barrier that extended outward.

Black, water-ripple-like patterns flowed across the light shield's surface, and the air around it noticeably became heavier.

Rou Rou, who stood near the shield, let out a surprised sound.

"I feel like my body's gotten heavier!"

She tried jumping, and her movements really were slower than usual.

Wu'er was more professional.

She stepped back several paces, then suddenly rushed forward and kicked at the light shield.

Bang!

Amid the dull impact, Wu'er's foot slowed when it was still half a foot away from the shield.

It was as if she had kicked into a thick mud pit. The farther forward she went, the greater the resistance became.

In the end, Wu'er's foot stopped against the shield's surface, barely even stirring any ripples.

"So powerful!"

Wu'er withdrew her fist, her eyes shining.

"This defensive effect is so strong, and it's so heavy too!"

Qing Zhu dismissed the shield, a happy smile curving her lips.

"That's the effect of Heavy Water Body Protection. Any attack trying to pierce the shield will be compressed and blocked from every direction by gravity."

"That was only twice gravity just now. With my current Soul Power, I can activate ten times gravity and maintain the shield for at most ten minutes."

"It's already very strong."

Lin Qing patted her shoulder.

"Once you Become Stronger, both the size and duration of this shield will increase."

"Not only that, Qing Zhu. You can also develop it in the direction of strengthening your own power. Shrink the shield and let every punch and kick receive a gravity boost."

Qing Zhu's eyes lit up at his words, and she nodded seriously. "I understand, Dad."

Rou Rou wrapped her arms around Lin Qing's arm at that moment.

"Dad, Dad, Qing Zhu has a new Soul Bone already. When will I get mine?"

The little girl tilted her face up, full of anticipation.

Lin Qing laughed. "Dad will definitely keep his promise. When we find a suitable one next time, I'll arrange it for you immediately."

"Pinky promise!"

"Pinky promise."

Lin Qing personally cooked dinner.

He set up a simple stove beside the Lake of Life and took ingredients out of his Soul Tool.

Grilled fish, wild vegetable soup, and the jerky they had prepared earlier.

Simple, yet warm.

Da Ming and Er Ming watched from not far away.

The expressions in the two Soul Beasts' eyes remained complicated.

But there was less scrutiny than before, replaced by a touch of tender sentiment.

As Lin Qing turned the grilling fish, he pondered what exactly was going on with these two Soul Beasts.

If they had some strange thoughts about him, it clearly did not seem that way.

Yet their hesitant, half-spoken attitude truly left him baffled.

Night soon fell completely.

Qing Zhu had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

The little girl leaned against Lin Qing's chest, breathing evenly.

Wu'er and Rou Rou were sleepy too.

The two little girls leaned against each other, their heads bobbing.

Lin Qing gently laid Qing Zhu down and covered her with a blanket.

Then he adjusted Wu'er and Rou Rou's sleeping positions as well.

Only then did he walk to the lakeshore and sit on a stone.

The lake reflected the starry sky.

Specks of starlight shattered and reformed in the gentle ripples.

Lin Qing looked at the lake, feeling somewhat emotional.

Before he knew it, he had been in this world for nearly a hundred years.

From his initial confusion to his current adaptation.

From a bachelor to the father of three daughters.

When he thought about it sometimes, life truly was wondrous.

He raised his hand, and a faint Golden Halo emerged in his palm.

That was the phenomenon that appeared only after the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill had been cultivated to the first level.

If he could cultivate it to the thirteenth level, his physical strength would reach a terrifying degree.

By now, he could probably walk sideways among many Titled Douluo, right?

Of course, that was assuming he did not provoke those Old Monsters.

Such as Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen.

Lin Qing shook his head and cast those thoughts aside.

Meals had to be eaten one bite at a time, and roads had to be walked one step at a time.

It was still too early to think about such things.

For now, the most important thing was raising his three daughters well.

He needed to give them enough strength to establish themselves in this world.

Just as he was thinking, soft footsteps sounded behind him.

Lin Qing turned and saw Wu'er rubbing her eyes as she walked over.

"Dad, I can't sleep."

The little girl sat beside him and leaned against his shoulder.

"Can't sleep? What are you thinking about?"

"Mom."

Wu'er's voice was very soft. "Dad, when are we going to find Mom?"

"..."

Lin Qing's heart tightened.

His three daughters had asked that question many times.

Every time, he had told them it would be soon.

Back then, there had been nothing he could do because he feared Tang Hao, who was watching over Xiao Wu.

Now, things were different.

"We'll leave the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. After that, I'll help Wu'er find Mom, okay?"

"Okay!"

Wu'er was happy for a moment before asking again, "Dad, will we always be together from now on?"

"We will."

Lin Qing held her tightly.

"Dad will always stay with you, until you grow up, until you can stand on your own."

"Then I need to grow up quickly."

Wu'er spoke seriously.

"Once I grow up, I'll be able to help Dad."

Lin Qing smiled. "All right. Dad will be waiting."

Father and daughter simply sat there quietly.

Watching the starlight on the lake and listening to the insects chirping in the distance.

The night deepened.
