Chapter 10, Only the Son

Not long after, she returned home

Lan Xiao's level of shock far exceeded that of the staff member

What should we do now? This child..." Nan Cheng furrowed her brows

Their family lives in the residential building near the research institute. The treatment for a lieutenant colonel is quite good; their 200 square meter house provides ample space for the three of them, and they even have a dedicated training room.

Suddenly, Lan Xiao raised his head, a faint smile appearing on his face. In that moment, he seemed to regain the composure of his former self.

No, it doesn't make sense. Lan Xiao said without hesitation: "The level of the Blue Silver Emperor is definitely not an issue; it could possibly be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast undergoing re-cultivation. However, that egg is inexplicable. The Blue Silver Emperor is a plant; how could it possibly grow out of an egg?"

Before today, he had contemplated many possibilities. It was only after much deliberation that he decided to allow Lan Xuanyu to awaken within the institute, as this would at least make the situation within the research institute controllable by himself

He had considered many possibilities about what kind of martial soul Lan Xuanyu would possess and how powerful it might be, even contemplating the possibility of it being a martial soul at the level of a Beast God. However, what he never expected was that his son, who had hatched from an egg, would actually have a martial soul that was completely unrelated to beast martial souls—Blue Silver Grass!

Nan Cheng is also engaged in the research of ancient soul beasts, and immediately thought of a possibility, "Could it be the legendary Blue Silver Emperor? If it is the Blue Silver Emperor, then it would make sense.

Good. On the other side, Nan Cheng, feeling anxious, suddenly realized something and hurriedly ended the communication

Of course..." Lan Xiao was about to say something, but he hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, there is also a soul power tester at home, I will test him when I get back.

"Director, do we still need to conduct the soul power test?" the staff member asked tentatively. At that moment, his gaze even held a hint of sympathy, as he could see that his own son possessed a useless martial soul, which surely must be distressing for a father.

Lan Xiao also fell into deep thought. Their greatest concern earlier was that Lan Xuanyu's martial soul was too extraordinary, which would attract the attention of the higher-ups. In that case, they would have no choice but to reveal the truth. ... But now it is the Blue Silver Grass ...? ... Blue Silver Grass?

Oh, oh, let me give it a try. Lan Xuanyu followed his father's instructions. Sure enough, the cluster of blue silver grass slowly shrank and ultimately disappeared from his palm. However, what even Lan Xuanyu himself did not notice was that when they vanished, there was a slight flicker of gold and silver in his hands, with the right hand being gold and the left hand being silver

Oh. Lan Xuanyu replied obediently and returned to his own room

Blue Silver Grass, it doesn't seem so bad! At least, in the records, it is classified as a useless martial soul. I didn't have him undergo a soul power test at that time. We will test it shortly to determine his soul power level, and I am confident that there will definitely be a soul power manifestation. As for what level of soul power it is, since we will report it ourselves, isn't it up to us to decide? This means...

Suddenly, Lan Xiao's pupils contracted slightly

Nan Cheng also understood that it meant he would not be taken away from us and could always remain our son

However, this is the Ancient Soul Beast Research Institute, and Lan Xiao is the director of the institute herself

However, similarly, the Blue Silver Grass also has its own legends, and the most significant of these legends has been passed down throughout the entire Douluo Federation for tens of thousands of years! Yet, over these tens of thousands of years, there have only been two legends associated with the Blue Silver Grass.

Lan Xiao was taken aback, and the staff member was also somewhat stunned. At that moment, Lan Xuanyu also came to a halt; the itch on his body disappeared, seemingly released along with the strands of blue that surged forth from his palm

What on earth is going on?" Nan Cheng eagerly grabbed Lan Xiao's hand

The staff turned to Lan Xiao and said, "Director, this... this is... Blue Silver Grass?" His voice involuntarily sounded somewhat strange

The staff looked at him with understanding in their eyes and nodded, saying nothing more, "Alright. Then I will recognize Xuanyu's martial soul as Blue Silver Grass"

The first thing he thought of was that the awakening of the Blue Silver Grass should be done with one hand, rather than two. Indeed, he could be certain of this. Moreover, it would be quite remarkable for the weak Blue Silver Grass to emerge a few centimeters from the palm at the moment of awakening; how could it possibly reach a height of nearly two meters? Furthermore, the bluish glow on the surface does not appear to be so ordinary!

Even if the martial soul is merely a pair of chopsticks, the speed of eating will be enhanced. If the martial soul is a hoe, the ability to cultivate the land will also be stronger, even without soul power.

Lan Xiao smiled and said: "Indeed! The most difficult hurdle has already been overcome. Next, we will first clarify what his martial soul actually is, and then we can devise a strategy. Even if he is discovered to be different when he grows up, we can simply say that his martial soul has mutated. With the rapid development of soul guide technology, soul masters are no longer as highly regarded. If we are careful, he will always be our son. As for the path he chooses to take in the future, we only need to ensure that his heart does not stray; that is enough. If he is strong, we are happy; if he is weak, we are not sad. Right?"

Lan Xuanyu blinked his big eyes and said somewhat fearfully: "It was so itchy, Dad. At that time, I felt so itchy! It was particularly uncomfortable, and I scratched hard. It was extremely itchy, as if the itchiness was coming from inside my body, and scratching didn't help. Later, all the itchiness concentrated on my hand, and it drilled out from my palm. Once it drilled out, it was fine, and it didn't itch anymore"

Wait a moment, that's not right

"Is being banned like becoming an egg? Certainly not," Lan Xiao shook her head.

Lan Xiao glanced at her, then said to Lan Xuanyu: "Son, you go back to your room and play for a while, Dad has something to discuss with Mom"

Originally, the waste martial soul was not considered worthy of research, but it once held the legend of being the strongest on the continent. Therefore, Lan Xiao still conducted some research on the Blue Silver Grass, which has appeared for a long time, even surpassing human history.

After leaving the awakening room, Lan Xiao said little and took her son, driving their soul-guiding car back home from the research institute

Everyone in the academy is well aware of the martial souls of Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng, but the child before us has awakened a martial soul that is unlike either of theirs! Moreover, it appears to have no connection to them whatsoever

The Blue Silver Grass martial soul was once quite common in the Douluo Federation, regarded as a standard useless martial soul. However, when this useless martial soul awakens, it seems that it should not be like this, right

In any awakening room, the staff would immediately classify Lan Xuanyu's martial soul as Blue Silver Grass, a common waste.

"Father, is this my martial soul?" Lan Xuanyu asked with a curious expression

Hmm. Lan Xiao responded while approaching her son and embraced his shoulders

Nan Cheng furrowed her brows slightly and said, "What if it is self-imposed confinement?"

Lan Xiao was about to inquire about some details when the soul guide communicator rang. "Nan Cheng. Don't ask for now, yes, it's Blue Silver Grass. Come back first, let's talk at home."

Nan Cheng no longer insisted on her thoughts, as she trusted her husband. In the field of ancient soul beast research, although Lan Xiao is young, he can already be considered an authoritative expert.

Lan Xiao squinted slightly, "This is definitely not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Absolutely not ordinary. I am certain of it. Ordinary Blue Silver Grass would not grow from one's hands, at least not during the awakening, and it certainly could not grow that long. Moreover, Xuan Yu's Blue Silver Grass is much more beautiful."

Lan Xiao helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead, nodded, and said: "Yes! This is your martial soul. Now let's put it away, shall we? Just think in your heart about making it return, and it should come back."

The martial soul is Blue Silver Grass? What does it enhance? Humans are not cattle or sheep, they do not eat grass

Blue Silver Grass, the most ordinary of martial souls, had frequently appeared long before the Douluo Federation was established, when it was still just Douluo Star. Moreover, it is regarded as the representative of useless martial souls. What does a useless martial soul signify? It signifies an inability to cultivate and a complete lack of utility

"Blue Silver Grass? Could Xuanyu's martial soul be Blue Silver Grass?" Nan Cheng also wore a face of disbelief

Nan Cheng finally smiled, "Yes! All I want is a son. The rest is not that important."

Upon reaching this point, Lan Xiao's mind began to operate at high speed, recalling all knowledge and memories related to the Blue Silver Grass

Close the door, Lan Xiao sat down on the sofa with his son and looked at Lan Xuanyu seriously, saying: "Xuanyu, what happened during your soul awakening today? Tell your father all the feelings you had at that time."
