I logged into the God panel.

The tutor surnamed Zou has left.

When he left, he also took Lu Yu with him... According to him, a [Chosen One] was no longer someone he could handle.

Lu Daosheng stood by the window, watching the four figures below hurriedly leave, lost in thought.

"Are you alright?"

Zhao Baiqin walked over, gently patted her son's head, and asked with concern.

Lu Daosheng was stunned:

"Mom, what could be wrong with me?"

He met his mother's worried gaze and immediately realized—his mother was afraid that he would feel "unbalanced".

After all, just moments ago he was the apple of his mentor's eye, and now he's being ignored again... If it were an ordinary boy, he would definitely have a big psychological reaction.

Lu Daosheng spoke helplessly:

That's my sister.

Zhao Baiqin first breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more worried. She squatted down and took her son's hand:

"Actually, if you're unhappy or down right now, Mom and Dad will feel a little more at ease."

Lu Tianyang also quietly stepped forward.

Lu Daosheng frowned. "I don't understand."

Zhao Baiqin touched the boy's cheek:

"You've been very sensible since you were three or four years old... but you're too sensible. You never cry or make a fuss. Your older sister was still asking for ice cream when she was ten, but you never did."

Lu Daosheng asked in confusion:

"Isn't this good?"

The couple exchanged a glance, shook their heads in unison, and said in unison:

"not good."

Dad sighed:

"We'd rather you were like any other child, crying and fussing, asking for snacks and toys, instead of what you're doing now..."

Lu Daosheng didn't know what to say.

He simply couldn't be like any other child... After all, a ten-year-old's body housed the soul of an adult.

long silence.

"I'm going back to my room to check out the handbook that Professor Zou gave me." He held up the thin enrollment handbook.

The couple nodded helplessly and watched their son go into the room.

"Daosheng..." Zhao Baiqin rubbed her temples. "I always feel that the child has many things hidden in his heart, and also Xiaoyu."

She turned to look out the window.

Lu Tianyang also remained silent.

Those favored by the gods.

It signifies the preparation of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Church.

They will receive a lot of resources and the best training, but is that really a good thing?

Lu Tianyang considered for a moment and then spoke:

"I've heard our director mention the Chosen Ones. Fortunately, Xiaoyu is still young and won't be taken away before she comes of age. In fact, her identity will be kept secret and hidden."

"Yes, I've heard about that too." Zhao Baiqin looked somewhat bewildered. "The children have all come into contact with the extraordinary... I'd rather they live a peaceful and safe life."

"It'll be alright," Lu Tianyang comforted him.

The couple embraced silently, lost in thought.

…………

The admission handbook was only a few pages long, and Lu Daosheng quickly finished flipping through it.

According to the booklet, classes at White Elephant Academy are not divided by age, but by "talent rating".

Those with superior talent are assigned to Class A, those with average talent are assigned to Class B, and those with inferior talent are assigned to Class C.

While his physical speed potential exceeded its limit, his physical strength potential was only at the lower-middle level.

The overall assessment only assigned it to the lower-tier category.

Or rather, an A- grade... would be enough to be placed in an A- class.

"Just this class schedule?"

Looking at the densely packed class schedule descriptions, he started to feel a headache coming on.

Spiritual science, monster genealogy, introduction to mysticism, human anatomy... Damn, why are there even advanced mathematics and advanced physics?

Is this training extraordinary individuals or scientists?

I was ranked first in my grade for five consecutive years, not because I was a genius... but because the questions were all from elementary school!

Lu Daosheng scratched his head in anguish. If it weren't for the necessity of contacting and understanding the extraordinary, he would have considered not going at all... Staying in the elementary school and ruling the world seemed like a good option.

"So annoying."

He recalled the premonition he had when he briefly accessed the Abyss, a feeling that something terrifying was about to open its eyes, and his heart tightened slightly.

"The spirit world has no master, but... the abyss does."

"Will my strong sense of belonging to the Abyss cause the [Crimson King] and [Abyss Ruler] within it to notice something amiss?"

Lu Daosheng shuddered and decided that he would never go to the abyss or the underworld again.

Who knows what will happen?

"Let's take it one step at a time," he muttered to himself, observing the Southern District Chief's recent movements for a moment through divine grace.

After confirming that the incident in the northern suburbs had been temporarily quelled, he quietly withdrew the 0.01 point of spiritual power he had been granted.

The dark necklace and the protective necklace continued to provide ice flow, the latter's amplitude becoming smaller, almost the same as the dark necklace.

【God:???】

【Spirit: 3.04】

[External Force: The Crimson King's Gaze]

[Attribute Points: 0.42]

Life has been granted to 2 people; 1 place remains in the God's grace program.

"What the heck?!"

Lu Daosheng was startled and stared intently at the newly added "External Force" column, focusing his mind on it.

[The Crimson King's Gaze: The anomaly in the abyss has stirred the Crimson King, who is struggling to open his eyes. When he fully opens them, his gaze will fall upon you.]

[Eyes open progress: 3%]

"hiss!!"

Lu Daosheng gasped, a sense of relief washing over him. Thankfully, the panel had highlighted it; otherwise…

He couldn't believe that the Crimson King simply wanted to glance at him, nor did he think that the other party would bestow any divine favor upon him.

Even before my eyes are fully open, I still have a chance to deal with it and figure out a solution...

You can't exactly pin your hopes on the [Crimson King] gazing into your spirit, only to end up like a dried-up corpse, seeing the God's panel, and exploding into smoke...

Lu Daosheng even doubted whether the Crimson King would actually be damaged if it looked directly at the God Panel.

These are ancient gods!

His heart was heavy.

for a long time.

After calming himself down, Lu Daosheng cast aside his heavy thoughts and began to meditate.

"My current [Speed] and [Time Slow] are both speed-related, and the biggest improvement in the short term comes from adding some Agility... but Spirit is my main focus."

After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision.

Add some sensitivity first.

With 3 points of spirit, which is the level of a lower-ranking priest, and still the weakest type, if the speed increases, even a mid-ranking priest, a fighter, or even a higher-ranking priest might not be able to catch up with him!

With a thought, 0.3 of the attribute was allocated to Agility, with the remaining attribute points reserved for backup.

The properties panel has changed.

[Physical Fitness: 0.66]

Sensitivity: 1.33

【Spirit: 3.04】

[Attribute Points: 0.12]

A strong warm current burst forth within his body, spreading to every part of his body. Lu Daosheng could feel that he had become much lighter and more agile, and at the same time, he had become more alert!

"Based on the proportions... with the [Extreme Speed] passive buff, my normal speed should have increased by one-third, so my speed per second is approximately... twenty-six meters?"

He silently sensed that illusion of being as light as a swallow, but he couldn't bring himself to smile.

The phone watch vibrated; a message had been sent.

It was the old priest.

…………

After lunch.

"I'm going to the police station." Lu Tianyang put on his hat.

"I'm going to school," Zhao Baiqin said, applying sunscreen.

"I'm going out too, to find my deskmate to play with." Lu Daosheng put on his shoes.

The couple exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with joy.

The family of three left the house one after the other.

Lu Daosheng naturally didn't go to find Li Qiuhua, but went straight to the Zhouguang Church.

Follow the path, walk through the shade of trees, and enter the church built of white stone.

"You can't come here so openly in the future."

In the empty church, the old priest turned around and calmly said:

"You are now an A-rated student at White Elephant Academy, with super-limit speed potential. Before long, many eyes will be on you."

"Father," Lu Daosheng said in surprise, "you found out so quickly?"

The tests were completed this morning, and it's only 2 PM now... only four or five hours have passed.

"The Church of the Light of the Universe is the Church of the Sun."

The old priest didn't explain further, but simply smiled and said:

"But your sister is the one who actually became a chosen one of the gods."

Lu Daosheng was somewhat speechless. Were White Elephant Academy and the Church of the Sun even up to par?

The news wasn't kept secret at all?

The old priest seemed to see through Lu Daosheng's thoughts and said calmly:

"One of the Knight Commander's disciples is one of the vice-principals of White Elephant Academy. Now that you've entered White Elephant Academy, it saves us the trouble of having him introduce you. We'll just have Qiuhua enroll through him."

Lu Daosheng's heart tightened. The Church of the Universe appeared to be severely suppressed, but in reality, its influence was probably everywhere.

He hesitated for a moment, then held up his phone watch and asked:

"Father, why did you send me this message?"

"Task."

The old priest began:

"I am about to give you a task to test your loyalty and faith in the Great Emperor of Time."

Lu Daosheng clenched his fists and placed them between his eyebrows:

"Beautiful moments."

A smile then appeared on the old priest's face. He waved his hand, and a small glass bottle containing a clear liquid appeared in his palm.

He handed the glass bottle to Lu Daosheng.

"The task is simple: when your sister comes home next time, put a drop of this into her water."

Lu Daosheng paused for a moment, then asked softly:

"This is?"

The old priest did not hide anything and calmly said:

"A specially formulated potion, used in conjunction with the curse. Don't worry, it won't harm your sister. It's just a little surprise to give her when a bishop of the Church of the Sun receives her in the future."

Lu Daosheng clutched the bottle, his head bowed, his expression unreadable.

"But if that happens, the Church of the Sun won't let my sister off the hook."

"It's alright, child."

The old priest stroked the boy's head and said gently:

"The Church of the Sun will not make things difficult for a chosen one who has been betrayed... even if they do, even if something unexpected happens."

He began with an aria:

"For the sake of time."

Lu Daosheng's throat tightened, and he reached out and touched his brow again:

"For the sake of time."

Then, he awkwardly tried to act like a gentleman, taking the old priest's hand, kissing the back of his hand, and then turning away.

The Crimson King's gaze has been bestowed.

The boy's steps became lighter.
