“Oh, ancestors of Sigru, my dear brother has become intelligent!”
Steve quickly reacted and ran to the statue in the center of the square, bowing continuously to the indestructible knight statue. This statue was the ancestor of the Saint Kain family, the level 10 Holy Radiance fighter God, Sigru!
“You…” Father Angus hesitated for a moment, then looked Du Chen up and down before saying, “Hmm, understood!”
He turned his gaze to Foye and said, “Since Francis is still alive and his consciousness has returned, there's no need for you to leave. Stay and teach him how to read and write!”
Foye was still immersed in the joy of Francis regaining his sanity and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I will definitely teach young master to become an outstanding nobleman!”
“Alright, Steve, Charlie, let's go back!”
Angus beckoned his two sons. He seemed to have no reaction at all to his previously foolish son becoming intelligent!
Du Chen was puzzled and quickly stepped forward with a smile. “Father, I have become intelligent. Aren't you happy?”
“What is there to be happy about?” Angus didn't want to pay attention to Du Chen and turned to walk towards the manor.
Second brother Charlie glanced at Du Chen, sneered, and said, “You are no longer the idiot third young master of St. John City, but you are still a shame to the Saint Kain family! The nobles will still say, ‘Oh my, the descendant of Sigru, the Holy Radiance fighter God, cannot cultivate Dou QI.' It's truly the funniest joke in Einstar Continent!”
He glared at Du Chen with resentment, then bowed to the statue in the center of the square and said, “The Saint Kain family has stood for thousands of years, and yet they have such a idiot. It's truly shameful! Do you know what peoples say about you?” He imitated, “Do you know? The red-haired Sigru has a golden-haired descendant, and that descendant cannot cultivate Dou QI!”
After speaking, he followed Angus into the manor.
Du Chen stood still, wanting to get angry, but the emotional state of little Francis disappointed him greatly, even to the point of despair. A deceased idiot son not only came back to life but also became intelligent, yet Angus's face couldn't show the slightest joy, and there was even a hint of disgust—why didn't he just die completely?
And Du Chen became even more puzzled about this so-called Dou QI and fighter Gods.
The previous Francis was an idiot. It was already good enough that he could leave behind the language and basic common knowledge of this world, without expecting more.
Everyone had left, but Old Foye, Aliza, and eldest brother Steve, the three closest people, had not left.
Steve walked over, patted Du Chen on the shoulder, and comforted, “Don't listen to Charlie's nonsense. Although you can't cultivate Dou QI, you can study more and become a civil official in the future.”
Du Chen felt Steve's care and nodded with a smile. “Big brother, I'm fine, but there are still many things I don't know now. Can you tell me about them?”
“Alright, let's go to your room!”
…"
From Steve and old Foye, Du Chen learned that this was a world similar to medieval Europe.
In this world, there were three continents forming an equilateral triangle in the endless ocean, and Du Chen was in the eastern part of the Ains Continent in the north, in the imperial capital of the Laning Empire, Saint John City.
On the Ains Continent, there were many countries. However, this was a society similar to a theocracy, where all humans believed in a religion called the Holy fighter Faith!

The status of the Holy Faith was sacred and supreme, just like Christianity in medieval Europe on Earth. However, the object of this religious belief wasn't ethereal deities, but human powerhouses who had truly existed in history and made great contributions to humanity. They were given a unified title—the fighter God!
One of the fighter Gods worshipped by the Kaine Family, the ancestors of the Kaine family, was Sigulu, one of the fighter Gods.
Nowadays, there were many powerful humans on the three continents, and they also called themselves fighter Gods. The fighter Gods were divided into Mage fighter Gods and Warrior fighter Gods, with a total of ten levels. The first five levels were called Fighters, and only levels six to nine could be considered fighter Gods.
If someone's strength surpassed the 9th-level fighter God and made significant contributions to humanity, they would be awarded the legendary fighter God and their statue would be placed in the temple of the Holy fighter Faith, becoming one of the ten 10th-level fighter Gods worshipped by humanity.
And their descendants were known as the Descendants of the fighter God, born nobles who enjoyed countless privileges under the care of the Holy fighter Faith!
After Steve finished speaking, Du Chen quickly asked, “Then why can't I cultivate Dou Qi?”
Although he didn't have a firsthand experience, he understood that fighter Gods were the masters of this world, the true elite class of society! If he wanted to make a name for himself in this world, he had to become a fighter God!
Steve, seeing his brother becoming smarter, was in a good mood and joked, “The power of a fighter God comes from the natural force of Qi. But dear little brother, you naturally cannot sense the Qi Force, so hehe, you can choose another path! For example, with your looks…” He playfully lifted Du Chen's chin, “With your appearance, seducing a queen is definitely not a problem, and you might even become a king!”
As he spoke, he appraised Du Chen with a cluck of his tongue.
“Forget it, I think you're more suited to seducing a queen!” Du Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. Why bring up women for no reason? Didn't you know that your little brother practiced the mutated Tong Zigong(A kung fu restriction on not making love)?
But when Du Chen spoke to Steve, whether it was mockery or banter, it all felt natural, without the restraint and disgust he had when facing their father and second brother. It seemed that Steve and Francis had truly had a good brotherly relationship in the past.
Steve seemed to remember something and laughed, “Hey! Dear little brother, since you now appear to be quite clever, in a few days, I'll take you to attend a noble lady's banquet. Oh my, you're already fifteen years old and still a virgin, how pitiful!”
He stood up, “That's settled then. In a few days, Princess Yuna happens to be hosting a banquet, and I'll take you. Alright, I'll go to Father first. I imagine our Duke father is worrying about how to inform the other nobles that you're still alive!”
After seeing off Steve, Foye sat back next to Du Chen and kindly smiled, “Young Master, Young Master Steve is a good person. You should listen to him more in the future!”
“Mm!” Du Chen nodded with a smile. Suddenly, an orphan gained an older brother who cared for him. This feeling… it seemed pretty good!
Because he was too tall and burly, Aliza, who was sitting on the carpet, nodded, “That's right! I heard that when Young Master Steve embarked on the path of a fighter God, his vow was to protect you, Young Master!”
“What is the vow of a fighter God?” Du Chen asked curiously.
Old Foye smiled, “That's a matter of the fighter Gods. Young Master, it's better if you don't inquire about it. Just remember that Young Master Steve won't harm you!”
Harm Du Chen? Heh, this guy's twenty-something years of thieving in his past life, aside from being tricked once by Daoist ‘Grape', he hadn't suffered any losses. It was always him who caused trouble for others. Du Chen stood up from his chair, “Uncle Foye, I want to go out and take a look at St. John City!”
“Alright, take Aliza with you! Make sure to come back for dinner!”
Du Chen led Aliza out of the estate. Along the way, the servants and warriors looked at him strangely, seeming uncomfortable with the sudden transformation of the Third Young Master, who had become smarter.
Du Chen didn't pay attention to these people. As soon as he went out, he hopped onto Aliza's back and asked, “Can you run fast?”
“I can catch up to a warhorse!”
“That's good, take me around, go to crowded places!”
Aliza didn't understand this command from Du Chen. He tilted his bald head and asked, “Why?”
“If I tell you to run, you run. Tonight, I'll treat you to roasted beef!”
Upon hearing “roasted beef,” Aliza's eyes lit up, and he ran off with his big eyes wide open.
Du Chen came out not only to learn more about this world but also because he couldn't sit still! The “Lotus Treasure Mirror” constantly tempted him to do good deeds with the phrase “get close to women!”
As Aliza ran with his head down, Du Chen also didn't idle. He focused all his attention on his buttocks.
Hard work pays off. Finally, when Aliza ran from the noble area in the east of the city to the commoner area in the south, a tingling sensation came from Du Chen's buttocks.
There was a good deed to be done!
“Quick, Aliza, run towards that direction!” Du Chen excitedly pointed at an alley and shouted.
