Dad and Mom's Love Story

After several days of recuperation, Bofeng's injuries had fully healed.

Before Sea God Hall, under his mother's guidance, Bofeng held his Second Martial Soul—the hammer—which had become enormous. Weighing five hundred jin, it felt perfectly natural in his hands.

Following the Hammer Manual his father had left behind, Bofeng began his formal training under his mother's supervision.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was a secret technique of the Clear Sky Sect. By swinging the hammer eighty-one times in succession, the force of each strike would stack upon the last.

Bofeng now sweated freely, his upper body bare as the hammer in his hand struck again and again.

He could barely manage sixteen consecutive strikes already, but he was still far from eighty-one.

As for the Great Sumeru Hammer, it was still far too distant a prospect for Bofeng at that time.

He could only memorize its key principles and essence for now. Once he became a Titled Douluo and added soul rings to his hammer, the Great Sumeru Hammer would be able to unleash its true power.

Bo Saixi stood solemnly to one side, watching Bofeng swing his hammer. She could not help recalling the days she had spent with him. They had been together for decades, and he had left the Clear Sky Sect for her sake.

Those days they spent together were the most beautiful memories of Bo Saixi's life.

Both of them stood at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent. When two powerful beings came together, it was often difficult for them to leave behind offspring.

They had secluded themselves on Sea God Island, and for the sake of Ascending to Godhood, so that he could remain with her forever.

Finally, just a few months before he left, Bo Saixi had become pregnant.

Before he even got to see his son, he had hurriedly departed.

Now, he had been gone for six years. Their son had already grown up—yet where was he now?

"Thud—"

Bofeng dropped onto a rock, panting heavily as he withdrew his hammer.

Bo Saixi smiled faintly and came to her son's side, gently wiping away the sweat on Bofeng's forehead.

Though her heart ached for her son, this was the necessary path to becoming stronger.

Bofeng was a child who never made his mother worry. He trained diligently, and his strength had improved greatly.

At that moment, Bofeng suggested, "Mom, I want to traverse Sea God's Light."

Bo Saixi was slightly stunned. "You... why do you want to do that? The pressure borne by Sea God's Light is not something you can withstand yet."

"In order to complete the hammer technique as soon as possible, I have to cultivate Dad's hammer technique somewhere with immense pressure. In that kind of environment, the power behind swinging the hammer will improve twice as fast with half the effort. Besides, if I receive Lord Sea God's trial in the future, I won't be able to avoid Sea God's Light."

"Feng'er, have you really thought this through?" Bo Saixi asked repeatedly.

Bofeng nodded firmly. Seeing this, Bo Saixi said nothing more.

Grasping Bofeng's small hand tightly, the two vanished from where they stood.

In the blink of an eye, mother and son arrived at the foot of Sea God Mountain.

This was the only path leading to Sea God Hall. It had a total of one thousand and one steps, and above them shimmered the blue-gold Sea God's Light, illuminating every step flawlessly.

"When you traverse Sea God's Light, your body will endure enormous pressure. Mom will keep the pressure within the limits you can bear. You must be careful, and never act rashly," Bo Saixi instructed solemnly.

After nodding, Bofeng began walking toward Sea God's Light, his Second Martial Soul—the hammer—still in his right hand.

The moment he stepped onto the first stair, Bofeng felt as though the hammer in his right hand had grown heavier, becoming extremely difficult to lift.

Carrying the heavy Hammer Martial Soul, Bofeng advanced one step at a time. Before long, sweat was already pouring down his forehead.

Bofeng planted his feet firmly on the tenth step. Following the swinging method of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, he swung with all his strength beneath the tremendous pressure of Sea God's Light.

He was not like all those transmigrators who had a system for a dad, nor did he possess as many badass cultivation techniques as Tang San. At most, he could rely on his own strength. If he wanted to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, he had to make himself stronger.

No matter how powerful the forces behind him were, and no matter that his parents were the strongest people in this world.

In the end, Bofeng still had to walk his own path alone.

"Disorder Splitting Wind!"

The hammer slammed into the ground, instantly setting off booming echoes.

Bearing immense pressure, and under Bo Saixi's guidance throughout, he successfully completed that day's training plan.

Sea God Island was exceptionally quiet at night. Stars glittered across the night sky, and on the steps before Sea God Hall—

Bofeng leaned against his mother's embrace while Bo Saixi gently kneaded his shoulders, easing the strain from his day of training.

"Mom, can you tell me about how you met Dad?"

With nothing else to do, Bofeng made the suggestion.

Bo Saixi smiled faintly upon hearing it. "Your father was a powerful soul master. When Mom first met him, I was deeply attracted to him. But your father was already married then, so Mom simply returned to Sea God Island alone."

"Then, several decades passed. Mom passed Lord Sea God's trial and formally took on the duty of High Priest. Then one day, your father and a Peerless Douluo surnamed Qian came to challenge Mom."

"As a result, in that battle, Mom faced two opponents alone. Using the advantage of the sea, I defeated your father and that Peerless Douluo with the Six-winged Angel. Then..."

"Then what happened?" Bofeng asked expectantly.

"Then, your father and that Six-winged Angel soul master both fell in love with Mom. In the end, it was your father who took the initiative to confess his feelings. That was how your father and mother got together."

"After that, your father voluntarily left his sect and cut off all ties with it. He lived with Mom for nearly several decades. Our strength had both reached the pinnacle of this world, and because your father wanted to stay with Mom forever, he resolutely left to search for a way to become a god."

Bo Saixi wore a smile. "Come to think of it, your father has already been gone for seven years. When he left, Mom was already carrying you. He did not even have time to see you be born before he departed."

"I just don't know how things are with him now. Has he completed the god trials?"

Bofeng's expression turned dazed. He did not dare tell his mother what he knew, afraid she would not be able to bear the truth of his father's current circumstances.

After saying that, Bo Saixi took out the Evil Spirit Orca Right Leg Bone and handed it to Bofeng.

"Feng'er, when you cultivate beneath Sea God's Light tomorrow, absorb this Fifty Thousand Year Evil Spirit Orca Right Leg Bone. Sea God's Light can evolve everything in the world. When this Evil Spirit Orca was killed by you, it produced an exceptionally powerful resentment."

"With your current abilities, you simply cannot withstand it. Beneath Sea God's Light, you can..."

When she saw that her son did not respond, Bo Saixi lowered her head to look.

It turned out Bofeng had already fallen asleep in Bo Saixi's arms. A day of training had long since left him exhausted in both body and mind.

Bo Saixi smiled helplessly. Then, carrying the sleeping Bofeng in her arms, she slowly walked toward Sea God Hall.
