Chapter 005: Inheritance
"Child, did I not tell you that you are not worthless but a genius? You, like me, can cultivate all five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, becoming a master of all systems." Han Jianfeng directly dropped a heavy bombshell, leaving Han Fengxue speechless in shock
Because you are a genius, because you possess a five-element constitution, when ordinary people sense the five elemental forces, one element is usually more pronounced than the others, allowing for easier perception. However, when you sense them, all five elements are equally pronounced, achieving a balance among them, which is why you can perceive all five elements, but you are unable to isolate any one element for individual sensing. In the past, I encountered the same situation as you. By chance, a powerful remnant soul entered my body and, after imparting some words, fell into a deep slumber. However, within my soul, a mental cultivation method emerged. It was only after practicing this method that I transformed from a waste into a genius. Soon, you too will be able to practice this method, and you will become a true genius in every sense of the word. As she spoke, Han Fengxue felt some words appearing within her soul.
The laughter of Han Jianfeng echoed in Han Fengxue's soul, "Hehe, who said your mental strength is very weak? That was merely to conceal it from others. In reality, your mental strength is quite strong, stronger than that of your peers"
Han Jianfeng was somewhat surprised, not expecting that his ten-year-old son could think of so much. "You are correct; the consequence of that is that my soul has suffered some damage, and furthermore, my cultivation can no longer progress. Therefore, I must move out, as your grandfather and the clan members will never agree to this," Han Jianfeng replied. In fact, he was concealing some details, intending to transfer the remnants of his soul into Han Fengxue's body. With his mastery over souls, he could inflict significant damage on his own soul. If he could not find a cultivation method of royal level or above, not only would his cultivation not progress, but it would also regress. Without mental cultivation methods, his mental power would not improve, and the elemental crystals would naturally be unable to absorb the five elemental energies. Using skills would require consuming the elements on the elemental crystals, and without mental cultivation, the elements could not be replenished, leading to a natural regression in cultivation.

Han Fengxue suddenly understood some things; no wonder her father wanted to move and promised her that she could become a master. It turned out that her father had already made many plans. "Father, when you say I can become a master, do you mean passing the techniques onto me? If so, what will happen to you?" Han Fengxue asked.
Receiving her father's answer, Han Fengxue revealed a happy smile; at the very least, her father had not completely vanished. "But why is it only a remnant soul?" Han Fengxue wondered in her heart.
After listening to his father, Han Fengxue felt a surge of emotion. His father had made such a great sacrifice just to help him become a master. Yet, he could only watch helplessly as his father faced death. "Fortunately, my father is still here; I can accompany him every day," Han Fengxue thought to himself.
Murong Qing sat on the ground, tightly holding the lifeless body of Han Jianfeng, weeping uncontrollably. How she wished to go with her husband! Yet, in the moment before Han Jianfeng's death, a voice reached her ears, "Goodbye, Qing. Promise me, do not do anything foolish. I have not truly disappeared; I will exist in another form. Take good care of Fengxue, raise him to adulthood, and he will surely be stronger than his father in the future." However, Murong Qing believed that these were merely comforting words from Han Jianfeng, spoken out of fear that she might take her own life.
Seven days later, Han Fengxue slowly awakened, opening her eyes, only to feel a profound weakness throughout her body. The memory of her father's death was still vivid, causing a sharp pain in her heart, and Han Fengxue painfully closed her eyes once more
Han Jianfeng did not conceal his thoughts from Han Fengxue. He said, "Fengxue, I cannot be with you forever. My soul power is very weak, and I will soon fall into a deep sleep. Before I do, I will pass on the skills I have learned to you. The path ahead will depend on you alone, and you must be strong and continue on."
Upon hearing Han Jianfeng's words, Han Fengxue's heart grew cold once more. "Father, when will you awaken?" Han Fengxue inquired.
Han Fengxue felt as if something had entered his mind, but he had no inclination to care. With a cold gaze, he looked at the six people opposite him, determined to remember their appearances. Then, his frail body collapsed backward; for a ten-year-old child, the death of his father was an overwhelming blow, and he finally succumbed to unconsciousness.
Child, this is not an illusion, I am within your body. You are still too weak to see me, but you can simply converse with me in your heart.
Finally understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Han Fengxue briefly glanced at the words within his soul and found that there were not many words, significantly fewer than the techniques he had practiced before. He asked his father in his heart, and only then did Han Jianfeng explain: "This technique is quite peculiar; it will only reveal the cultivation methods for the next level after you break through to the first level."
The sound of two desperate voices echoed in the wilderness, filled with such despair and desolation.
"Does this mean that there are two remnants of souls within me? And how did that person's remnant enter your body?" Han Fengxue said in astonishment, his mouth slightly agape. The events of today were too bizarre for him; his mind was momentarily unable to comprehend.
Han Jianfeng continued, "In fact, I had already contemplated the outcome of the battle before it began. Therefore, I concealed my abilities in the other two systems. Otherwise, if that person were to know that I practiced all five systems, I fear he would resort to any means necessary to force me to surrender my techniques"
Shaking his head, Han Fengxue felt a sudden headache. After clarifying his thoughts, he pondered in his heart: "But why is my mental strength so weak?"
It can also be said this way, but I exist within you only as a wisp of a remnant soul. Once the master reaches the level of a skill king, he will be able to harness some of the power of souls. The voice of Han Jianfeng echoed within the soul of Han Fengxue.
Father, is that you? Where are you? Father, you are still alive, right? Han Fengxue got up and looked around, but did not see Han Jianfeng's voice.
Is it an illusion? Han Fengxue thought to herself
When you become powerful enough, perhaps you will be able to awaken me. Furthermore, the things I tell you today can only be shared with your mother; you must not tell your grandfather either. It is not a matter of distrust towards him, but rather a concern that he might inadvertently share it with your uncles and aunts out of joy. If that happens, the number of people who know will increase, and you will find yourself in danger. After some time, you will only be able to demonstrate abilities from a specific system. After saying this, Han Fengxue felt that there was much more within her soul, yet the voice of Han Jianfeng did not sound again.

Although the Master of Techniques can harness some powers of the soul, the soul cannot exist independently after the body dies; otherwise, do you think that person would let me off so easily? As for why I can leave behind a trace of my residual soul, it is merely because there is also a powerful residual soul within me. To avoid being discovered by that person, I left behind a trace of my residual soul to hide within the powerful residual soul inside me, and then entered your body
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. "Maple Snow."
"So, father, you are still alive, right?" Han Fengxue asked hopefully
However, no matter which mental cultivation technique I practice, I am unable to sense the five elemental forces or condense the mental crystal. Why is this the case? Han Fengxue remains perplexed.
