Huang Wei immediately retracted his gaze and wore an apologetic expression: “Grandfather, I’m sorry for making you worry.
Don’t worry, I will definitely be careful in the future!”
He understood that Huang Nan’s expression was entirely due to his concern for him.
Having lived two lives, in his previous life, he was just a face in the crowd.
Even worse, his parents had died in a car accident when he was young, and he had only managed to survive by relying on government subsidies.
In this life, it was even more miserable; he didn’t even know who his biological parents were or what they looked like.
But now, there was an old man who cared for him and had taken him in, so he was very happy and relieved, as were the others in the village.
Thus, he secretly made a resolution in his heart that he would definitely become a powerful Soul Master in the future to repay those who had helped him!
He would make Huang Family Village a prosperous village!
“You have shown me kindness, and one day, I, Huang Wei, will surely repay you a hundredfold, even a thousandfold!”
At this moment, a flash of immense determination flickered within his eyes.
Huang Nan looked at Huang Wei, whom he had watched grow up since childhood, and revealed a kind smile: “Some things are fated.
You will be six years old in three years, which is when you will awaken your Martial Soul.
If the Martial Soul you awaken lacks spirit power, then no matter how hard you try, you can only be an ordinary person, or perhaps a slightly stronger ordinary person, unable to become a powerful Soul Master.”
Having watched him grow up, Huang Nan understood that Huang Wei was different from other children; his mind was very mature.
Sometimes, he even wondered if the child in front of him was really just a child.
He also understood that everything Huang Wei was doing now was to try his best to change the fate of his Martial Soul awakening three years later, to try and ensure he possessed spirit power.
But… could this really be achieved?
He wasn’t sure, but seeing Huang Wei exercising so hard every day, he couldn’t bring himself to stop him.
Huang Wei’s hands, submerged in the medicinal bath, suddenly clenched into fists.
He took a deep breath, his tone resolute: “Grandfather, sometimes some fates can be changed!
I believe in this!
I want to become strong to repay you and the village for raising me!
And to find my true origins—who my parents really were and why they abandoned me!
I must find these things out in the future!
Otherwise, I will never be reconciled!”
Hearing these words, Huang Nan was deeply moved.
He chose to remain silent, understanding the meaning behind Huang Wei’s actions.
He sighed in his heart: My grandson has really grown up.
Although there is no blood relation, all of this is worth it.
A moment later, his aged voice slowly sounded: “Grandson, work hard.
Grandfather and the entire village support you.
If you are ever tired outside, remember to come back; this is also your home!
Whatever you do in the future, Grandfather will unconditionally agree, but you must promise Grandfather that you will prioritize your own safety above all else!
Do not act blindly; once a person is dead, there is nothing left!”
“I promise, Grandfather!” Huang Wei nodded with a determined gaze.
“My grandson is truly different from other children, hahaha!!”
Huang Nan smiled knowingly: “Grandfather is going in to cook now.
Come in and eat once you finish your bath.”
“Okay!” Huang Wei nodded heavily.
Unknowingly, another three years had passed.
Early that morning, a young boy about 1.55 meters tall, carrying a bamboo basket, ran quickly along the village path.
The boy looked young but possessed a sense of maturity and steadiness.
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, one could see that every muscle on his body was well-developed and firm.
His physical strength and health far surpassed other boys of his age, or even those ten years old.
As he ran, he smiled and greeted the surrounding villagers.
Everyone was very happy.
And this boy before them was none other than Huang Wei!
“Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This child, Xiao Wei, has really changed so much.”
“Is he off to collect various plants again?
He’s so sensible at only six years old.
If my child could be half as sensible, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
“The village chief making the choice to pick him up all those years ago was the right one.”
“Is he six today?
That means in a few days he’ll awaken his Martial Soul.
I just don’t know what this child will awaken; I’m really looking forward to it!”
Once these words were spoken, everyone present was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Huang Wei was a child they had all watched grow up in their village, and they had come to regard him as half their own child.
Not only was this child sensible, but he also possessed a level of maturity far beyond his age, making him undoubtedly a favorite among everyone.
Returning home, Huang Wei put down the bamboo basket and took out the aged Green Vine, Purple Orchid Vine, and Thin Orchid Flower.
None of these were Soul Beasts; they were just ordinary plants.

Looking at the analysis appearing before him, Huang Wei was very satisfied.
For the past three years, he had been using these plants to assist his cultivation.
What made him happiest was that there were plants in the surrounding forests that could enhance mental force!
One must know that in this World, without specific cultivation techniques or other conditions, cultivating mental force is an extremely difficult task; even simple meditation techniques have negligible effects.
Moreover, Huang Wei was currently practicing three disciplines: physical cultivation, spirit power cultivation, and mental force cultivation.
The time this consumed was undoubtedly longer and more arduous, especially as he progressed further.
However, the Thin Orchid Flower was the only plant he had discovered so far that could assist in cultivating mental force, which left him incredibly excited.
For these past three years, he had been constantly exercising, using the basic training method from before and increasing the intensity.
Ever since that sudden fainting spell, such incidents had not happened again.
Setting these things aside, he pushed the door open and entered.
Huang Nan was not there; at this time, it seemed he had gone out to transport goods and do some small business.
Thus, he came to the courtyard, where there was some simple exercise equipment he had made himself.
After taking off his shirt, he began to exercise again.
“I am six years old now.
Surely in these few days, I will go to receive my Martial Soul awakening.
I am truly looking forward to it; I wonder what my Martial Soul will be!”
Holding onto immense anticipation, he quickly began his workout.
He understood that the sweat shed over these six years, and the final result and outcome, would be seen in these next few days!
After his training ended, the sky had already darkened.
Covered in sweat, he entered the house and took out a bottle from the drawer in his room, shaped like a magic potion bottle and about the size of a palm.
Inside was a strange light-red liquid, with some blue dots within the light-red hue.
But this was not blood; it was a liquid he had created over these three years by using Blood-Qi Grass and Blue-Tinea Flower, following the methods provided by his eyes.
This liquid could quickly restore his fatigued body and replenish a certain amount of lost blood-qi and physical strength.
The taste wasn’t very good, but fortunately, he was already used to it.
After drinking it, he indeed felt a sense of relief throughout his body.
“Refreshing~~”
While feeling refreshed, the door to the house opened.
He knew that his grandfather, Huang Nan, had returned.
