My Son Chen Yan Has the Makings of a Grandmaster!

That evening, Chen Kefa hurried home, looking exhausted from the journey.

As soon as he walked in, he saw his wife, Du Qionghua, sitting on the sofa with their son in her arms. Her eyes were red, and she looked badly shaken.

"What happened?" Chen Kefa's heart tightened, and he hurried over.

Du Qionghua recounted everything that had happened that afternoon, describing the terrifying scene in detail. Her voice still trembled with lingering fear.

"...That golden cocoon was just hanging in midair. I was so scared I nearly died."

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

"Could it have something to do with the strange things happening in West City District?"

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

He felt Chen Yan's forehead, then sent a trace of qi and blood into his body to circulate through him.

A moment later, his face showed a complicated mixture of utter shock and wild joy.

"Honey, don't be afraid. This... this is damn good news!" Chen Kefa was so excited that he swore. "Come on, we're going to the hospital! No, to the Martial Artist Association's physical examination center!"

Before long, the family of three arrived at the Jiang City Martial Artist Association's private medical center.

They were received by an elderly expert with graying hair and gold-rimmed glasses. His name was Wang Xiaoming, and he was an authority on human biology in Jiang City.

At Du Qionghua's insistence, Wang Xiaoming gave Chen Yan an exceptionally thorough physical examination.

At last!

The results were in!

He weighed eight kilograms and stood 65 centimeters tall. Compared to an ordinary hundred-day-old baby, he was undeniably huge.

Aside from that, there were no abnormalities.

After hearing Du Qionghua's description of the strange phenomenon, Expert Wang Xiaoming's expression grew extremely serious.

"Children's meridians are fragile and their qi and blood are unstable before the age of six, so their constitution can't be accurately assessed. That's simply common knowledge."

Wang Xiaoming adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But there are always exceptions!"

"According to legend, when the owners of certain top-tier constitutions awaken in the stars, strange phenomena appear alongside them!"

"The golden cocoon hanging in midair and qi and blood turning into light that you described are signs of a 'constitution manifesting'!"

Du Qionghua was utterly bewildered. Her beautiful eyes were full of confusion. "Then... what about Xiao Yan?"

Wang Xiaoming pondered for a moment.

"There's only one way to find out!"

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

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

Du Qionghua carefully placed Chen Yan inside a glass chamber that resembled an infant incubator.

"This is the latest life-energy detector. It can safely measure the potential total qi and blood of a living being at any stage of life."

"It's usually only used for research..."

As Wang Xiaoming pressed the switch, the number representing qi and blood on the instrument's screen began to climb rapidly.

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

A score of 100 was the average qi and blood level of an ordinary adult man.

Yet the number didn't slow down at all.

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

At last, as Du Qionghua and Chen Kefa stared in stunned silence, it settled firmly on the utterly unbelievable figure of "305"!

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

He stared at the screen, his lips trembling as if he had witnessed a miracle.

"Three hundred... three hundred and five in qi and blood... in a hundred-day-old baby?"

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

"A monster! No... a qilin child! A true qilin child!"

Chen Kefa clenched both fists. His body trembled slightly with overwhelming excitement.

He'd thought his son was merely exceptionally talented. He never imagined that this went far beyond exceptional talent—it was practically a myth come to life!

Du Qionghua, meanwhile, was completely dumbfounded. She looked at her son grinning at her from inside the glass chamber, then at the glaring number, her mind utterly blank.

If she hadn't been absolutely certain that she had given birth to Chen Yan, she would have wondered where this little beast had come from...

She'd only wanted to raise an ordinary child. How had she ended up with a "demon child" whose numbers were off the charts?

"Captain Chen, Ms. Du!"

Wang Xiaoming came back to his senses, his expression turning gravely solemn.

"I'll report these test results to the East Continent Alliance headquarters immediately!"

"Your son's condition is already far beyond the limits of our understanding!"

"He... is absolutely qualified to join the Alliance's highest-level talent cultivation program..."

"Please give this serious consideration. It concerns your child's future, and may even... concern the future of all humanity!"

When they left the testing center, Chen Kefa was so excited that his face was flushed. He practically floated as he walked.

He lifted Chen Yan high into the air, holding him up to the sunlight as he laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! Good! Wonderful!"

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

His laughter was full of the pride and joy of a father.

Hearing that, Chen Yan gave a wicked grin.

Your son here is a man with a system...

A grandmaster... that's hardly a goal worth aiming for!

Du Qionghua stared at her husband and son, dumbfounded, her heart a jumble of emotions.

"Kefa, Xiao Yan is still so little. If he really joins that program, won't he have to leave us?"

"I... can't bear the thought..."

After getting pregnant, Du Qionghua had heard no end of stories from her friends who'd already given birth about how hard it was to care for a child.

But Chen Yan had been exceptionally easy to look after from the moment he was born. He called for her when he needed to poop, and even when he wet the bed at night, he didn't cry.

And he was so cute. The more she looked at him, the more she adored him!

"It's okay, honey. Even if Xiao Yan gets selected, he'll still need someone to look after him..."

"If there's a chance, I definitely won't let our family be separated!"

Meanwhile, Chen Yan, the true cause of all this, lay calmly in his father's broad arms, looking at the newly refreshed mission on his system panel.

[The host has completed a leap in life level, causing a major shift in family relationships. System missions updated.]

[Main Mission One: Family Bonds.]

[Mission Description: Luck is a mysterious force that influences opportunity and fate.]

[Your family's approval, affection, and pride will become the firmest foundation for your luck.]

[Be a good child who makes your parents proud. Increasing your intimacy with them can greatly boost your luck.]

[Current Luck: 5 (You won't choke on water).]

[Side Mission One: Raising an All-Round Baby.]

[Mission Description: Martial prowess is not the only thing that matters.]

[For you, still in infancy, learning any life skill may lead to unexpected surprises thanks to the bonus from your "Innate Dao Body."]

[Please begin your first attempt.]

Chen Yan's eyes lit up as he read the new mission.

Boost his luck?

Wouldn't that just mean interacting more with his parents and being a good baby?

Easy!

As for life skills...

He looked at his mother, Du Qionghua, whose beautiful face still bore a bewildered and worried expression. A brilliant idea came to him.

For someone who had just turned a hundred days old, mastering the martial path might be a little too far off.

Perhaps he could start by becoming a "baby who loves to learn"?
