Chapter 001: The Cold Family of Maple City
On a cold night, Han Fengxue walked alone by the family training ground, illuminated by the moonlight, appearing so lonely. The family members practiced here during the day, while she could only sneak out for a stroll at night. In a few days, she would be leaving the home she had lived in for ten years, and the memories of the past were replaying in her mind.
Maple Snow, come and eat. Your father has matters to discuss with you and your mother. Han Jianfeng spoke up
Seeing the change in Han Fengxue's eyes, Han Jianfeng sighed. Every time he saw his son with that look, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
Han Fengxue heard the calling, and with a pair of clear eyes, she looked at her father, her gaze filled with deep affection and respect. Her father was the foremost genius of the clan, while she, as the daughter of a genius, was utterly useless, completely incapable of even condensing elemental crystals. Upon this thought, her expression inevitably dimmed.
The crowd was once again filled with astonishment
Suddenly, the training ground fell silent. A middle-aged man was seen walking towards this direction. The man exuded an imposing presence, his countenance naturally carrying an air of authority. He was Han Tianjun, the current head of the Han family, and also the grandfather of Han Fengxue. Although he was over sixty years old, his high level of cultivation made him appear merely as a middle-aged man.
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps approached. Could it be that someone, like herself, was bored and came out for a walk, Han Fengxue thought to herself
Han Mu, Seven Star Practitioner; Han Yue, Nine Star Practitioner; Han Feng, Three Star Technician; the younger generation of the Han family subsequently reported their cultivation levels and underwent assessment.
Hearing Han Jianfeng's words, Han Fengxue was taken aback, looking towards her father, her small fists tightly clenched. "Of course I am willing, but father, I am unable to sense the existence of the five elemental forces, how can I become a master?"
Han Lie, a fire element technician. It was only heard that Han Lie had stepped out of the assembly report
Han Hen stepped onto the stage and walked to the side of an old man, extending his right hand. The old man grasped his wrist, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes, then released his hand and spoke: "Confirmed, a Seven Star Technician"
After tidying up, I returned to the table and saw that Han Jianfeng had become serious. He spoke, "I have made a decision. Tomorrow, I will inform my father that the three of us will move to Qingshi Village to live. I have already made arrangements there.
As the two of them walked through the corridor, they arrived in the living room. A man was waiting at the dining table, and upon seeing Murong Qing and her child approach, he smiled and said, "The food has cooled down, come and eat." The man's name was Han Jianfeng, and at first glance, he gave off an impression of sharpness, as if he were a drawn sword.
Yanyun, why are you still awake so late? If you run around at night, your second uncle will worry about you, Han Fengxue said
Thus, when they heard that Han Lie had broken through to the rank of Technician, everyone was astonished
A ten-year-old boy held a青石 brick, and although his forehead and cheeks were already covered in sweat, his slightly immature face revealed a sense of determination. The boy's name was Han Fengxue, a descendant of the Han family, one of the four great families of Feng City. Due to his innate lack of spiritual power, he was unable to sense the five elemental forces or condense elemental crystals, thus preventing him from becoming a spiritual technique master.
You haven't slept either, yet you still criticize me, said Han Yan Yun playfully
Recalling my father's promise, I smiled and turned to walk towards my residence. One day, I will become strong and show those who look down on me that I am not worthless
This website www.hetushu.com made him more mature and stronger than others at a young age
Han Jianfeng: The foremost genius of the Han family, he entered the realm of Master of Techniques at the age of 28. Now at 32, he has already attained the rank of Five-Star Master of Techniques. Not only is it difficult for members of the Han family to match him, but even in the entire Feng City, no one can compare to him
He actually broke through to become a Technician. Another wave of astonished voices arose. It is important to note that although there is only a one-star difference between a Technician and a Technician, there is an essential gap between the two. One can become a Technician after successfully condensing elemental crystals through the cultivation of mental techniques, but a Technician is not strictly considered a Master, as Technicians cannot use skills. Only by breaking through to become a Technician can one truly be regarded as entering the ranks of Masters. Becoming a Technician also means being able to cultivate various skills at the Technician level, and one will inherently possess a talent skill of their primary attribute. The talent skill is automatically generated upon the Technician's breakthrough, and generally, the talent skills of Technicians are more powerful than those learned later.
The mother and child sat down at the dining table, and Han Jianfeng served two bowls of rice for the mother and child.
Looking at the excited Han Fengxue, Han Jianfeng said firmly: "Fengxue, rest assured, Father will definitely make you a master, and in the future, you will surely become a powerful master.
At this moment, Han Fengxue wore a look of confusion, merely gazing at his father in bewilderment, as he did not understand why his father would make such a decision
In the northwest of the Blazing Empire, the Cold Family of Maple City
Without avoiding Murong Qing's gaze, Han Jianfeng nodded firmly
In order to prevent anyone from making false reports, after the juniors submit their reports, they will be verified by an elder from the Han family and the library.
Maple Snow, it's time to eat. Murong Qing gently called out again
Hearing her mother's call, Han Fengxue eagerly put down the brick in her hand and ran to Murong Qing's side, happily saying: "Mother, I can now lift a hundred and fifty pounds of bricks. I have taken another step closer to becoming a warrior." The crisp tone could not conceal the excitement in her voice.
Maple Snow, I will come to play with you tomorrow. When Cold Smoke was about to leave, she turned back and said to Cold Maple Snow.
A middle-aged man stepped onto the high platform of the training ground, looking at the members of the Han family, and said: "Today marks the date of our monthly family gathering. I wonder how your training has been progressing. Let us begin the reports now. Han Hen, you may start.
Murong Qing and Han Fengxue were both filled with warmth. Although Han Jianfeng is a genius among geniuses, he only shows tenderness in front of the mother and son. He is undoubtedly a good husband and a good father
The next day, early in the morning, the Han family martial arts training ground was filled with members of the Han family. Today marked the monthly gathering, during which the progress of the younger generation's training over the past month would be assessed. The clan leader would be present in person, and those who had made significant progress during the month would receive rewards
Hiss, the crowd in the training ground gasped in astonishment; he has actually become a Seven-Star Technician and has made another breakthrough. Just last month, he was still a Six-Star Technician. To think, he is only seventeen years old, a Seven-Star Technician at such a young age. It seems our Han family has produced another genius, many people remarked.
Once again, the sound of footsteps echoed, and the two turned to look in the direction from which the sound came. They saw a young man approaching. The youth appeared to be about the same age as Han Fengxue.
Only Han Tianjun spoke: "Indeed, Han Hen, you may enter the library at any time and select a fire-elemental skill training book of the warrior level."
Yanyun, come back with me, a cold voice echoed from the boy's mouth. He cast a faint glance at Hanfeng Xue, then pulled Hanyanyun and turned to leave. The newcomer was Hanyanyun's second brother, Han Lie, who was slightly older than Hanfeng Xue.
Watching the disappearing figures of the two, Han Fengxue sighed. He had grown accustomed to the indifference of his clan. If he had a genius father, perhaps the family would have long since been unable to accommodate him. Only a few siblings truly regarded him as one of their own.
Seeing the confusion on Han Jianfeng's face, he turned to his son and asked, "Fengxue, do you want to become a master craftsman?"
The little girl is named Han Yan Yun, and she is the youngest daughter of Han Feng Xue's second uncle. Han Jian Feng ranks third among the clan and has five brothers
Han Tianjun was also quite surprised; he nodded and said, "Yes, come up for the elder's inspection"
Do as you wish, but when your second uncle causes trouble later, do not say I didn't warn you. Han Fengxue cannot do anything about this troublesome fellow.
Murong Qing gently stroked Han Fengxue's little head and said softly, "Alright, we will tell your father together, as he has something to discuss today."
Murong Qing looked directly at Han Jianfeng upon hearing his words, her eyes reflecting an unusual expression. "Jianfeng, have you made your decision?" Murong Qing said
In fact, one could say that Han Yan Yun is a little genius within the clan. She began practicing mental techniques at the age of six, and within less than two years, she was able to condense elemental crystals. Now, at not yet eight years old, she has already become a five-star practitioner
Han Fengxue thought: "So what if I am a useless person? My parents still love me dearly. As long as our family is happy, that is better than anything else"
Following this, a wave of envy was expressed.
There are also those who express disbelief, saying: "He won't, www.hetushu.com is probably just boasting. How could he possibly break through again? I remember he only broke through to six stars three months ago."
Han Hen stepped forward two paces, holding his head high, and said: "Han Hen, Fire Element Seven Star Technician"
The training ground was filled with a cacophony of voices, as everyone discussed how well each person had trained this month and speculated on who might receive the rewards
Han Fengxue's eyes were already moist, and he struggled to control his tears, yet two crystal-clear droplets still involuntarily slid down his cheeks. Indeed, how he longed to become a master! His peers in the clan diligently trained to enhance their strength, while he could only practice his physique, becoming an ordinary warrior. Deep within, he harbored a profound sense of inferiority. Although no one had ever spoken of it, he understood that it was because he had a genius father. From the gazes of many, he could read a lot; those were looks of disdain.

Feng Xue, it's time to eat. Accompanied by a clear and crisp call, a beautiful woman entered the courtyard. With her long, jet-black hair elegantly styled up, her lovely face, while not stunning, exuded a dignified and graceful aura that naturally evoked a sense of warmth upon first glance. Time had not left many marks on her face. This woman was Murong Qing, the mother of Han Feng Xue. As she looked at her son’s frail yet resolute figure, a deep sorrow flashed in her eyes. Because her son was unable to become a master craftsman, he had to focus on physical training in hopes of becoming an ordinary warrior.
The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer. Feng Ge, is that you? A shout broke the tranquility of the night. A little girl with braided hair leaned over to take a look.
After finishing the meal, Murong Qing personally cleared the dishes. The three of them did not call for servants in order to better enjoy the warmth of family.
