My son Chen Yan has the makings of a Grandmaster! That evening, Chen Kefa rushed home, travel-worn and weary.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw his wife, Du Qionghua, holding their son. She sat on the sofa with red-rimmed eyes, looking thoroughly shaken.

"What happened?" Chen Kefa's heart tightened as he hurried forward.

Du Qionghua described the terrifying scene from that afternoon in vivid detail, her voice still trembling with lingering fear:

"...That golden cocoon, it just hung there in mid-air. I was scared to death."

"Kefa, is... is there something wrong with little Yan?"

"Could this be related to the strange occurrences in the west side of the city?"

After listening, Chen Kefa didn't panic; instead, he fell into deep thought.

He reached out to touch Chen Yan's forehead, then channeled a wisp of his own vital energy into the boy's body to circulate.

A moment later, a complex expression of shock and overwhelming joy washed over his face.

"Wife, don't be afraid. This... this is a goddamn blessing!" Chen Kefa was so excited he let a curse slip. "Come on, we're going to the hospital! No, to the Jiang City Martial Artist Association's physical examination center!"

Before long, the family of three appeared at the exclusive medical center of the Jiang City Martial Artist Association.

They were received by an elderly expert with graying hair and gold-rimmed glasses named Wang Xiaoming, the leading authority in Jiang City's field of human biology.

At Du Qionghua's insistent request, Wang Xiaoming performed a comprehensive physical examination on Chen Yan.

Finally!

The data was ready!

He weighed eight kilograms and stood 65 centimeters tall—a true giant of a baby compared to any ordinary hundred-day-old infant.

Other than that, there were no abnormalities.

After hearing Du Qionghua's description of the phenomenon, Expert Wang Xiaoming's expression turned exceptionally grave.

"It is common knowledge that before the age of six, a child's meridians are fragile and their vital energy is unsettled, making it impossible to accurately assess their constitution."

Wang Xiaoming adjusted his glasses, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"But there are always exceptions!"

"Legend has it that in the vast starry sky, those born with top-tier constitutions manifest strange phenomena at the moment of their awakening!"

"The golden cocoon hanging in the air and the vital energy turning into light that you described are precisely the signs of a 'manifested constitution'!"

Du Qionghua listened, completely bewildered, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. "Then... what about little Yan?"

Wang Xiaoming pondered for a moment.

"Whether it is or isn't, one test will tell!"

Wang Xiaoming led them into a room filled with precision instruments.

"Baby, don't be afraid. Mommy and Daddy are right here with you..."

Du Qionghua carefully placed Chen Yan inside a glass chamber resembling an infant incubation pod.

"This is the latest life-energy detector. It can non-invasively measure the total potential vital energy of any life form at any stage."

"It's usually reserved for scientific research..."

As Wang Xiaoming pressed the switch, the numbers on the screen representing vital energy began to soar rapidly.

1... 5... 10...

100 points was the average vital energy value for a normal adult male.

However, the numbers did not pause for a second.

50... 100... 200...

Finally, under the stunned gazes of Du Qionghua and Chen Kefa, the numbers settled steadily at an inconceivable value: "305"!

The clipboard in Wang Xiaoming's hand clattered to the floor.

He stared fixedly at the screen, his lips trembling as if he were witnessing a miracle.

"Three hundred... three hundred and five vital energy... for a hundred-day-old infant?"

"This... this already surpasses most amateur third-rank martial artists!"

"A monster! No... a prodigy! A true prodigy!"

Chen Kefa clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly from extreme excitement.

He had thought his son was merely gifted, but he never expected this—it wasn't just a gift; it was a myth come to life!

Du Qionghua was completely dazed. She looked at her son, who was grinning at her from inside the glass chamber, then back at the glaring numbers, her mind a total blank.

If she weren't absolutely certain that she had given birth to Chen Yan herself, she would have suspected he was some kind of little beast...

She had only wanted to raise a normal child; how did she end up raising a "demon child" with explosive data?

"Captain Chen, Ms. Du!"

Wang Xiaoming snapped back to reality, his expression turning incredibly solemn.

"I will report this test report to the East Continent Alliance headquarters immediately!"

"Your son's condition has far exceeded the scope of our understanding!"

"He... has the absolute qualifications to join the Alliance's highest-level genius cultivation program..."

"Please, you must give this serious consideration. This concerns the child's future, and it may also... concern the future of all humanity!"

When they left the testing center, Chen Kefa was so flushed with excitement that he felt as if he were walking on air.

He hoisted Chen Yan high into the air, facing the sunlight, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha! Good! Very good!"

"My son Chen Yan has the makings of a Grandmaster!"

His laughter was bold and heroic, filled with the pride and joy of a father.

Hearing this, Chen Yan offered a wicked, charming smile.

Your son here is a man who possesses a system...

A Grandmaster... that doesn't even count as a goal!

Du Qionghua watched her husband and son, stunned, her heart a complex mix of emotions.

"Kefa, Xiao Yan is still so young. If he really goes to that program, won't he have to leave our side?"

"I... I can't bear it..."

Since becoming pregnant, Du Qionghua had heard plenty from her friends who had already given birth about how exhausting it was to take care of children.

But Chen Yan had been incredibly easy to raise since the moment he was born; he would call her when he needed to go to the bathroom, and he wouldn't even cry if he wet the bed at night.

Plus, he was so cute that she loved him more every time she looked at him!

"Don't worry, dear. Even if Xiao Yan is selected, he'll still need someone to take care of him..."

"As long as there's a chance, I will definitely not let our family be separated!"

As for Chen Yan, the culprit behind all of this, he rested in his father's broad arms, calmly watching the newly refreshed tasks on his system panel.

[Detected that the host has completed a leap in life level, causing drastic fluctuations in family relationships. System tasks updated.]

[Main Quest I: Family Bonds.]

Looking at the new tasks, Chen Yan's eyes lit up.

Boost luck?

Isn't this just asking me to interact more with my parents and be a well-behaved baby?

Simple!

As for life skills...

He looked at his mother Du Qionghua's beautiful face, which still held a look of bewilderment and worry, and a brilliant idea sprang to mind.

Martial arts reaching the divine might be too far off for someone who had just turned one hundred days old.

Perhaps, he could start by being a "studious baby"?
