Chapter 3

PS: No mistake, I chose this moment to update because I'm counting on your recommendation votes, so hurry up and give them to me...

The girl in the white moon palace gown couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, her small mouth suddenly forming a round, puffy "O" shape as she exclaimed in surprise, "Could he have originally been human? Did he just awaken his bloodline?"

Granny Huai nodded and said calmly, "I've lived for six thousand years, and it's the first time I've seen such a powerful bloodline awakening. The bloodline he awakened is of the same kind as ours. Qin girl! This is a great opportunity for you! Others have probably noticed this boy too. If you act too slowly, you might miss out..."

Granny Huai chuckled, and a black mist began to bubble and surge around her, enveloping her figure. The black mist twisted slightly and then contracted into a ball, and the very ugly but kind-faced old woman disappeared.

The girl in the white moon palace gown blushed, spat, and muttered, "Granny Huai, you're actually teasing me too!"

She threw a small tantrum, then suddenly frowned slightly, and after a while, she shook her head slightly and muttered to herself, "Come to think of it, I seem to have seen him before. Who is he?"

...

In another corner of the city!

A young man who looked handsome and a bit rogue was walking down the empty street, humming a tune, seemingly very pleased. A green light landed on his head, which turned out to be a small green bird.

The young man immediately showed a bitter smile and said, "Sister Cui! What do you need from me this time?"

The green bird chirped a few times, ruffled his hair, turning his hairstyle into a mix of the most popular perm and a bird's nest, then flapped its wings and flew up from his head, transforming into a mature and sexy beautiful woman in light-colored clothes. She landed lightly on the ground, her face full of smiles.

"Duantian Lang! I know you're well-informed, with your six eyes being the sharpest. Can you tell me what bloodline that little guy awakened last night? His ability to devour the imperial fluid is almost on par with Granny Huai, General Yun, and me."

Duantian Lang's face changed slightly, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "Sister Cui! This matter might be very troublesome. Do you really need to know?"

The beautiful woman's expression changed, and she put away her smile, coldly and sternly said, "Duantian Lang! If you play any tricks with me, I won't mind tearing you apart!"

Duantian Lang didn't dare to hesitate and said as quickly as possible, "The Immortal Tree bloodline!"

The beautiful woman's face immediately changed. By the time she came to her senses, Duantian Lang had already vanished without a trace. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's actually such a troublesome guy. This little guy has definitely been noticed by the Ten Thousand Demon Society and a few legions. I can't afford to provoke these nuisances."

At the same time, in some unknown corners of the city, a small wave of discussion was brewing. Every non-human being was very interested in Xu Le's appearance, but the main subject of the discussion was completely unaware!

Xu Le never thought that there would be a day when he would become the center of discussion for those very impressive beings.

...

The next morning, without his mother calling him, Xu Le woke up. He felt full of energy, radiant, and in an incredibly good state. Normally, he would never wake up fully, as high school studies were too exhausting, and every teenager of this age was "lacking in sleep."

If it weren't for the vivid and clear memories of what happened last night, Xu Le would have thought it was all a dream.

He went to sleep as soon as he got home last night, having been up all night without proper rest. He didn't think much about what happened last night until he woke up, and all the questions from yesterday flooded his mind. "What exactly happened yesterday? What were those strange meteors? And those guys who were swallowing the meteors, they were either demons or monsters, definitely not human... What are their origins?"

Xu Le placed his hands on his abdomen. He could clearly feel something in his lower abdomen slowly pulsating, like another heart. This mysterious "organ" absorbed a thread of the cold energy from the meteors that had merged into his body with each pulse, then released a deep energy. The nearly two to three hundred threads of cold energy from the meteors he had swallowed last night had been mostly digested, and now over 90% of his body was filled with the newly converted deep energy.

Xu Le slightly activated this newly born power, and immediately a black light emerged in his palm. This power was completely under his control, and he could change its shape at will, much easier than controlling the cold energy from the meteors. Not knowing what this black light could do, he impulsively pushed it toward a nearby can and shouted, "Rise!" The black light rushed over but passed right through the can and even through the wall, showing no sign of moving objects from a distance.

Xu Le sheepishly retracted the black light and rubbed it over his eyes, shouting, "Open the Heavenly Eye!" He waited for a while, but apart from a black shadow covering his eyes, nothing changed.

Xu Le exhausted all his imagination, trying out various special abilities and martial arts techniques from novels, anime, movies, and web series he had seen, but the results were quite disappointing. The black light could only penetrate any substance and change shape, with no other special qualities.

The coolest transformation he could think of was to use the black light to wrap himself in a suit of armor, cosplaying as the Dark Lord from Star Wars, even creating a pure black lightsaber that looked even more evil than a Sith warrior.

Xu Le couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered to himself, "It's not entirely useless. When I hang out with Qu Lei and the others, I can have my own role. This is much more realistic than their props, and I can even create special effects without any post-production."

Xu Le was improving the details of the Dark Lord in the mirror when the door was suddenly knocked on, and a gentle voice called, "Xu Le! Are you up? Hurry up and eat breakfast, then go to school!" His mother knocked on the door a few times to wake him up.

Xu Le responded, "I know, Mom," and started to walk out.

Because he was lost in thought, he forgot to open the door and simply "passed through" it, walking straight into the living room.

Xu Le's mother had already turned around and didn't see this shocking scene. He was also a bit slow to react, realizing that he had passed through the door and walked out of the room...
