Chapter 484: Chapter 483: Greatness

The next event was a battle for supremacy.

Lin Siyin was to participate, and although Lu Zixun would be there to protect her, there was no guarantee that Zhenfei wouldn’t pull some tricks.

Having Yang Runwu’s favor would at least halve the trouble.

Compared to boosting his own strength, Lu Zixun cared more about Lin Siyin’s safety.

After all, she still needed to stay at Crimson Academy for about a year.

As for the Extreme Cold Moon Wheel, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t be exchanged.

The Mall still had sixty-three hours before the automatic refresh, and if possible, he would also like to exchange for the Puncture.

The day before heading to the birthday party, everyone took out their gifts at Qing Ling’er’s house.

What Xiong Kang prepared was a car key hidden with Sword Qi.

Of course, this car key wasn’t just for show but could actually start a sports car. It was said to have cost Xiong Kang half a year’s salary.

Qing Ling’er and Wang Linfan had each prepared a gift.

After all, with so many eyes at the birthday party, it would be all too easy for others to sense something was up if they presented a gift jointly under both of their names.

“Forget River?”

Seeing the gift Lu Zixun had prepared, Wang Linfan raised an eyebrow, “Big Orange, where did you get this gift from? Yang Runwu had people turn over the entire Crimson Land and yet found nothing.”

“Hm?”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun paused, surprised by this revelation.

He had originally thought that such strength-enhancing items, no matter how precious, would inevitably be irresistible.

Unexpectedly, he had hit the nail on the head by accident.

Regarding Wang Linfan’s question, Lu Zixun had the excuse ready: “It’s something from the Changming Family treasury that I found useful for Water Element Spiritual Ability Users, so I decided to give it as a gift.”

If there were any questions, just pin them on Ge Changming; after all, no one knew what was in his private treasury.

Upon hearing this, Wang Linfan was puzzled but didn’t inquire too deeply.

Smiling, he put Forget River back into the gift box, “You’ve chosen a good gift. Martial God seems to owe you a big favor this time.”

Clueless about the story behind it, Lu Zixun watched Wang Linfan with curiosity.

“Spiritual Ability Users, even after being Awakened, have their Spiritual Ability Attributes graded,” Wang Linfan said, taking a pause.

“The best is first-class, and the worst is ninth-class.”

Pausing, Wang Linfan added with some regret, “And Yang Youyou’s Spiritual Ability Attribute is only third-class.”

Lu Zixun, not knowing about this, asked, “Does the Spiritual Ability Attribute have something to do with Magic strength?”

“It matters a lot.”

Nodding slightly, Wang Linfan explained, “Take the Heavy Rain Technique for Water Element Spiritual Ability Users. If someone of ninth-rank attribute casts it, it’s a downpour, but if it’s from a third-rank attribute… it’s just a drizzle.”

Lu Zixun sniffed, finding it hard to imagine such a disparity.

He had originally thought it was related to the speed of cultivation, but it turned out to truly affect the strength of the Magic.

“If you can’t enhance the Spiritual Ability Attribute, then isn’t that the end of it?”

The same Superpower Technique would have vastly different outcomes when cast, and in such a case, one might as well return to human society.

“Wang Linfan shrugged if the Spiritual Ability Attribute isn’t sufficient, Spiritual Energy makes up for it.

“To manifest a ninth-rank effect with a third-rank attribute, you’d need to inject three times the Spiritual Energy into the technique.”

Hearing Wang Linfan explain, Lu Zixun finally nodded, reassured.

That made sense, or else how would someone with a third-class Spiritual Ability Attribute survive?

However, Lu Zixun thought it was strange that if Yang Runwu’s nickname was Martial God, then his strength must be formidable; so why was Yang Youyou only a Third-class Spiritual Ability User?

When Lu Zixun voiced this doubt, Qing Ling’er pursed her lips and said, “Yang Youyou’s mother was an ordinary person, and she passed away giving birth to Yang Youyou.”

“How is that possible?!”

His pupils shrank, and Lu Zixun couldn’t believe it.

Once someone became a Spiritual Ability User, their genes would undergo earth-shattering changes.

That meant there was no way a Spiritual Ability User and an ordinary person could have a child together.

And that was where the Three Prefectures Genetic Optimization Formula theory came from.

“That’s just the way it is.”

A look of admiration appeared in Qing Ling’er’s eyes, “The reason why Yang Youyou is only a Third-class Spiritual Ability User might be because of her mother, but…”

She paused, then continued, “It’s extremely difficult for an ordinary person to conceive, and she would’ve known that any child born would definitely be a Spiritual Ability User; to bring Yang Youyou into the world under such difficult conditions is truly admirable.”

Hearing this, Lu Zixun fell silent.

Spiritual Ability Users were called such because they could absorb Spiritual Energy from the air, something ordinary people could not do.

Forcing an ordinary person, who couldn’t Awaken Spiritual Energy, to absorb it wasn’t unheard of, but the outcome was… they would explode and die.

Yang Youyou’s mother was very great.

Or rather, every mother was very great.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Getting up and straightening his clothes, Wang Linfan sighed, “Remember not to mention Yang Youyou’s mother later.”

That Yang Runwu was willing to owe others favors, desperately seeking help to find Forget River for his daughter, was enough to show how much he cared for Yang Youyou.

From this, one could see how important Yang Youyou’s mother was in Yang Runwu’s heart.

And Lu Zixun didn’t need to wear anything, as a cat wearing clothes would be the strange thing.

Yang Youyou’s coming-of-age ceremony was held in Zone 3’s Twin Towers, befitting the grandeur of a prestigious family.

After registering their names at the entrance, Lin Siyin carried Lu Zixun into the venue.

The phrase “glittering with gold” was not enough to describe today’s Twin Towers.

“Opulent” seemed more fitting.

“Is the Yang Family really that wealthy?”

Looking at the casually placed S-grade Spiritual Ability foods on a food cart nearby, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but comment.

“It’s not that the Yang Family is rich, but that they are worthy of such treatment from the Twin Towers.”

Next to him, Xiong Kang picked up a plate of food and handed it to Lin Siyin.

Meanwhile, Lu Zixun stood on Lin Siyin’s shoulder.

The vast space inside the venue lived up to the Twin Towers’ repute.

As more people entered the venue, it was somewhat astonishing that there was no sense of crowding.

“Let me tell you, this event isn’t just for Yang Youyou’s birthday celebration; it’s also an engagement party!”

“Fog Grass? Really? Who’s she getting engaged to?”

“It’s said to be with some playboy from the Zhang Family; look over there, all dressed up nice today.”

“Ah? Has the Martial God gone senile?”

“Shush! Do you have a death wish? How dare you secretly slander the Martial God!”

“My bad, my bad.”

With his keen hearing, Lu Zixun overheard the conversation between the two people and successfully located the playboy in the venue.
