Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Yu Hengqing, who had been unconscious for a long time, had just opened his eyes when he saw Yu Yuanzhen sitting by the bedside, holding his hand with a look of worry.
"Hmm?! You're awake!"
Yu Yuanzhen stood up, gently helped Yu Hengqing sit up, and tucked a pillow behind his back.
"How do you feel? Is there any part of your body that feels uncomfortable?"
Still feeling a bit dizzy, Yu Hengqing shook his head slightly and replied softly, "There's nothing wrong, I just feel a bit hungry right now."
Hearing that Yu Hengqing was only hungry, the tension in Yu Yuanzhen's heart finally eased a little.
"As long as you're fine. I'll have Uncle He Feng check you over once more, and then we'll go eat, how about that?"
Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Hengqing's hand with a sense of relief, then stood up and walked out the door to find He Feng.
"Okay!"
As an eighty-second-level healing-type Spirit Master, it naturally didn't take much effort for He Feng to examine a six-year-old child, and he finished the check-up in no time.
Putting away his Spirit, He Feng said calmly to the father and son before him, "Sect Master, there is nothing wrong with Hengqing's body."
Seeing that He Feng said there were no issues, Yu Yuanzhen let out a long breath, the stone that had been weighing on his heart finally dropping.
"Then, Doctor He, has the problem of Xiao Qing's congenital deficiency improved?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen ask this, He Feng wore a troubled expression. He glanced discreetly at Yu Hengqing on the bed, pulled Yu Yuanzhen aside, and whispered:
"Although Hengqing's congenital deficiency has improved, it still hasn't reached the standard of his peers. But looking at the bright side, the daily training and medicine have at least been effective, and we must not interrupt them."
Learning that Yu Hengqing's deficiency had improved was enough to keep Yu Yuanzhen happy for quite some time!
One had to know that trying to remedy a congenital deficiency was difficult enough as it was; the fact that this method could have an effect already exceeded Yu Yuanzhen's expectations.
"As long as it works, that's enough. It's getting late, so we won't continue to disturb you, Doctor He. Come, Xiao Qing, Dad will carry you back and make you something to eat!"
Knowing the method was effective, a joyous Yu Yuanzhen carried Yu Hengqing away from He Feng's infirmary.
Because it was late and the kitchen was already empty, Yu Yuanzhen personally went to the kitchen and made a pot of vegetable porridge for Yu Hengqing.
Hungry for the entire day, Yu Hengqing drank three full bowls of porridge before setting down his bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.
Seeing that Yu Hengqing was full, Yu Yuanzhen asked softly, "Can you sense your Spirit now?"
As long as he can sense his Spirit, it proves that today's Spirit Awakening was a success!
Yu Yuanzhen didn't say this last part out loud, fearing that voicing it would put pressure on Yu Hengqing.
Upon hearing this, Yu Hengqing first closed his eyes to feel for it. After confirming that he could sense his Spirit, he nodded at Yu Yuanzhen.
Before asking, Yu Yuanzhen had already prepared himself to face a failed awakening.
But upon learning that Yu Hengqing could sense his Spirit, his face lit up with joy, and he said with some excitement, "Good! Then try to summon your Spirit, just as I taught you before."
"Mm!"
Following the knowledge Yu Yuanzhen had taught him, Yu Hengqing channeled the spirit power within his body and gathered it toward his right hand.
"Spirit, manifest!"
In the blink of an eye, a golden figure appeared behind Yu Hengqing. A pair of golden eyes slowly opened, and golden lightning flickered across its body.
It really isn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit; it's a beast Spirit I've never seen before.
Looking at Leiyi behind Yu Hengqing, Yu Yuanzhen remained exceptionally calm. He understood that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit couldn't have caused the commotion from earlier.
However, this also meant that Yu Hengqing's Spirit was very likely even stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to take out the crystal ball to test the spirit power, he suddenly realized something was wrong with Yu Hengqing's Spirit. He looked closer.
Good heavens! Yu Hengqing's Spirit wasn't an illusion; it had a physical form!
Another detached beast Spirit! Could it be that Xiao Qing is going to follow in his brother's footsteps?!
Yu Yuanzhen knew very little about detached beast Spirits.
If it weren't for the fact that Yu Xiaogang's Spirit was a detached beast Spirit, he probably would never have known of such a Spirit's existence in his entire life.
By the time Yu Yuanzhen regained his senses, Yu Hengqing had already retracted his Spirit.
"Xiao Qing, place your hand on the crystal ball. It can detect your innate spirit power."
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen could only take things one step at a time. Even if Yu Hengqing really had extremely low innate spirit power like Yu Xiaogang, as his father, he would protect Yu Hengqing through it all.
Taking advantage of the moment Yu Yuanzhen was stunned, Yu Hengqing immediately asked Leiyi, who was staying in his spiritual space.
"Leiyi, will my spirit power be suppressed by you until you adapt to it?"
In the spiritual space, Leiyi replied apologetically, "Yes, the spirit power in your body conflicts with the lightning power in mine. To avoid affecting you, I must suppress the spirit power within you."
"Then how can this conflict be resolved? If you keep suppressing my spirit power, won't my cultivation speed be as slow as a turtle's!"
Thinking of this, a trace of worry inevitably rose in Yu Hengqing's heart.
Within the spiritual space, Leiyi said to Yu Hengqing with a firm tone, "As long as you can provide me with the lightning power of this world, I am confident that I can complete the assimilation of your spirit power!"
"Lightning power?"
This immediately stumped Yu Hengqing; the power of lightning was not some roadside cabbage, as it was generally only found within the bodies of powerful soul beasts.
The only method Yu Hengqing could think of was to attempt to extract lightning power from soul rings after absorbing them to supply to Leiyi.
Before Yu Hengqing could even tell Leiyi about this method, Yu Yuanzhen had already regained his composure.
Yu Hengqing had no choice but to temporarily give up, reaching out to place his hand on the crystal ball to test his innate soul power.
I hope that under Leiyi's suppression, my innate soul power can be a little higher!
The moment Yu Hengqing's hand touched the crystal ball, a brilliant light erupted from within it.
Could it be innate full soul power?!
Watching the crystal ball burst with intense light, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but feel his heart rate quicken.
In the void outside the Douluo Continent.
A space already on the verge of shattering drifted aimlessly through the void.
Within this space, streaks of five-colored and even seven-colored lightning roamed.
A portion of the colored lightning struggled to resist the void's erosion of the space.
Even a single wisp of aura released by these colored lightning bolts could instantly leave a Limit Douluo severely wounded.
Yet, when facing the void, they were like an impotent husband, forced to watch helplessly as the void bit by bit eroded the little space that remained.
Another portion of the colored lightning was tempering a silver-white broken sword suspended in the center of the space.
But no matter how these lightning bolts tempered the broken sword, it remained dull and lusterless.
Just as the colored lightning was tempering the broken sword as it always did, the sword, which had never shown any reaction, seemed to sense something.
A silver-white light flashed across the dull blade; it had actually responded to the colored lightning.
Like someone slurping down noodles, the broken sword swallowed the colored lightning bolts into its blade one after another, not even sparing those that were resisting the void's erosion.
In an instant, the space that had been an ocean of lightning was now devoid of even a single spark.
With the lightning no longer in its way, the void completely let loose.
In a single breath, it eroded most of the space, leaving only a ten-foot radius for the broken sword to remain.
Having absorbed the lightning, the broken sword's blade changed from its previous dullness, now shimmering with a faint silver glow.
Just as the void was about to erode the space right in front of the broken sword, the blade moved slightly, and a streak of sword energy lashed out toward the void.
The sharp sword energy directly halted the void's erosion, even faintly suppressing it.
The blade moved again, and the sword energy carved a rift into the void, allowing the broken sword to slip inside.
