"Father, why are we not training today?"
Fang Tanxing curiously asked while sitting in a lotus position in front of his father.
"You're now at the 6th step, right?" Fang Kou responded.
Fang Tanxing nodded. It's already been a month since the complaint incident and he finally advanced to the next step.
With a satisfied expression, Fang Kou muttured, "Although it's still early considering your age, but your strength should be enough to compensate it."
Fang Kou comtemplated before saying, "We should move on to the next phase of your training! Pack your things that you need for the next year!"
"Where are we going?"
"Stop asking, just do it" With a wave of his hand, Fang Tanxing floated directly to his room.
Despite feeling very curious, Fang Tanxing still followed his orders. When he turned around, he saw his mother packing his stuff already.
Fang Tanxing eyes sparkled when he saw the mountain of food stuffed inside a cloth, "Mom, is this all for me?!"
His mother smiled when she saw him and said, "This is enough for an ordinary person to last for a year. But for you, it can only last for a month" She chuckled as she pinched his cheeks.
"Father said I need to bring stuff that can last me for a year, where will I go?" Fang Tanxing asked worriedly.
"Knowing your father, I'm sure that he wants to train at the forest." His mother said.
"The one where you said that there are many spirit beasts?!" Fang Tanxing's expression paled when he remembered the horrifying stories his grandfather told him.
Fang Hai pinched his cheeks as she consoled him, "Don't worry, your father will never let you get hurt or he'll be in big trouble. Just use a message talisman if you're running out of food."
Fang Tanxing chubby face shivered when he saw the seemingly warm smile on her face.
Afterwards, Fang Hai gave him everything he need for the trip. Fang Tanxing easily carried it despite the weight reaching more than 100 kg.

"We'll be going now!" Fang Tanxing waves his hand towards his mother while walking away.
"Before we start your training, we'll go to your grandparents house first. It's been a long time since we've visited." Fang Kou said in a depressed tone.
"I'll get treats again!" Contrary to his father, Fang Tanxing was excited since he always get treats when he visit them.
They only stopped by the time they reached a huge manor with the word "Chun" written on top of it.
In front of the entrance, a strict looking old man and kind looking old woman stood. The old man's brows furrowed when he saw Fang Kou.
"You didn't even bring my daughter with you! Why did you even bother to come here!" The old man lectured Fang Kou even when they're still far away.
Fang Kou sighed hearing his words. His relationship with his parents-in-law has always been bad since he married their daughter without even asking for their permission.
The old woman beside the old man smiled and said, "Don't be so harsh Chun Bo!"
"I'm sorry Chun Nuan..." Chun Bo embarassedly said.
Fang Kou's spirit rised up hearing her words...
"At least he brought my little fatty with him!"
...Only to fall into despair.
Chun Bo's eyes brightened hearing this, only now did he notice that his grandson also came.
Fang Tanxing excitedly greeted them while the huge bag behind him kept making rattling sounds.
Chun Nuan smiled as she took out a huge meat bun from inside the manor and gave it to him.
Fang Tanxing thanked her before turning towards Chun Bo and said, "Grandpa! Tell me more of your stories!"
Chun Bo laughed and summoned a servant to give Fang Tanxing a chair. Chun Bo melancholy looked far away in the distance and started his story.
"A long long time ago, strange beings that came from outside of this realm ruled our world. They sucked out all of the qi leaving none for others to cultivate. A single breath from them can dry up seas and a stomp of their foot can destroy mountains. The empires tried to resist only to be destroyed and only ruins were left of them..." He sighed after reaching this point.
"What happened next?" Fang Tanxing anxiously asked.
Chun Bo smiled and continued, "The story says that a godly being only lifted his finger to remove them from our realm."
"Is that possible?" Fang Tanxing was shocked hearing this.
"I don't know, maybe even the story itself is just a rumor, I also think so. How can anyone have the power to easily defeat them." Chun Bo only shook his head. Even he find it to be too exaggerated even for a rumor.
"Let me tell you more..."
...
While Chun Bo was telling stories, Fang Kou and Chun Nuan are also having a conversation of their own a distance away from them.
"Are you sure Fang Tanxing will be fine? The other families already know about the talent of his, they'll surely be ready to make a move." Chu Nuan worriedly asked.
She was worried since she also heard that Fang Tanxing beat up the kids his age easily. Now that his talent is revealed, it'll be difficult to hide it even if they want to. They
were worried about Fang Tanxing because they know how competetive it is in their village.
"Don't worry! I'm there to protect him. Even if something unexpected will happen, I still have my talismans." Fang Kou reassured.
