When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"Son? Are you alright?!"

Jiang Feng was closing his eyes to feel the surging power within his body when there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

The father, Jiang Jianguo, spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

The loud shout that came from the room just now had startled the three of them quite a bit.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement inside, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door, fearing that his son might have encountered some mishap in his cultivation.

Jiang Feng opened his eyes, looked down, and saw that his body was completely naked.

"Dad! I'm fine!"

He was afraid that his sister would see him naked again like last time, so he quickly responded.

While shouting, he frantically pulled a set of clothes and pants out of the closet and put them on.

A moment later, the door creaked open.

As soon as Jiang Feng peeked out, he saw his father Jiang Jianguo, his mother Liu Aifang, and his younger sister Shen Weilan standing outside the door.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

"Son, how did your two days of seclusion go?"

Jiang Jianguo looked his son up and down and couldn't help but ask.

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Aifang slapped her husband's arm and said irritably, "What do you know about our son's cultivation?"

Turning her head, she looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes softening instantly, and said with a smile, "Son, Mom made you some soup."

"It's made from an old hen from the countryside, and Mom also bought some exotic animal bones from the market to make it. It's very delicious."

"Regardless of whether the cultivation goes smoothly or not, let's eat first to nourish our bodies."

Looking at the fine wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes, Jiang Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He knew that his mother was worried that he might fail in his seclusion and be upset, so she was comforting him in advance.

Jiang Feng smiled brightly and said softly but firmly, "Dad, Mom, don't worry."

"I am now a fourth-grade Grandmaster!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Weilan, who was standing to the side, had a knowing smile in her eyes.

Sure enough, she was right!

Her brother is indeed trying to break through to the fourth rank!

"Good, good, it's good that the breakthrough went smoothly..."

Jiang Jianguo nodded subconsciously, a simple and honest smile on his face.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

"Wait a moment!"

Jiang Jianguo's smile froze on his face, his eyes widened in disbelief as if he'd seen a ghost, and his voice cracked slightly: "Son, you...you said you broke through to what? Fourth rank?!"

"Could it be those martial arts masters on TV news...who can fly?!"

Hearing his son's words, a huge wave of emotions surged within him!

A master!

That's a big shot on TV!

He's a martial arts master whom even the mayor treats with utmost respect!

In the past, his highest expectation for his son was nothing more than that he could get into a martial arts university and become a first-rank martial artist in the future.

But now?

My son, a fourth-grade Grandmaster at less than twenty years old?!

"Son...you really are a martial arts master?!"

Liu Aifang suddenly covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of disbelief.

The elderly couple had a vague understanding of cultivation levels.

All they knew was that their son had recently broken through to the second rank.

How come he broke through to the Grandmaster realm in just a few days?!

Seeing his parents' shocked expressions, Jiang Feng smiled and nodded: "Absolutely right, your son is now a martial arts grandmaster!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Jiang Jianguo's face flushed with excitement, and he frantically pulled his phone out of his pocket, his fingers trembling.

"No! I have to share this good news in the family group chat!"

"Let your grandfather and uncle see for themselves, my son Jiang Jianguo is a martial arts grandmaster!"

"Let's see who dares to say our family can't produce a true dragon from now on!"

"Snapped!"

Liu Aifang slapped Jiang Jianguo's hand and scolded him with a fierce look, "All you do is show off! Don't you know the saying 'don't flaunt your wealth'?"

"My son is so capable now, what if he gets targeted and causes trouble?"

"Put your phone away right now, and don't tell anyone!"

Jiang Jianguo shrank back, his heart itching like a cat scratching, but with his son's safety at stake, he reluctantly stuffed his phone back into his pocket.

After reprimanding her husband, Liu Aifang turned to look at her son with pride in her eyes, but then remembered another important matter and asked hesitantly, "Son, you're a grandmaster now... will you still take the college entrance exam in June?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Of course I'll participate."

Not only do we have to participate, we have to win first place!

Because the system assigned him the task of taking the college entrance examination.

The rewards for completing the task are also very attractive.

[Awaken the Supreme Bone]!

Therefore, this task must not be abandoned.

"Very good!"

Liu Aifang was overjoyed, and she could no longer hide the smile in her eyes.

"Since my son is a grandmaster, he's definitely going to be the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination in Linchuan City!"

……

Lunchtime.

The table was laden with a sumptuous feast.

Braised pork belly, steamed fish, and that pot of old hen soup.

Although Jiang Feng is now a fourth-grade Grandmaster and his physical body has already undergone a transformation, the energy provided by these mortal foods is not even comparable to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that he can casually inhale and exhale.

But seeing his parents' enthusiasm in constantly putting food into his bowl, Jiang Feng didn't refuse at all, and ate heartily, thoroughly enjoying his meal.

Because these dishes contain the warmth of everyday life and the love of family that cultivation cannot provide.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Feng put down his chopsticks, looked at his mother who was clearing the dishes, and said earnestly, "Mom, how about... you quit your job at the supermarket?"

Liu Aifang paused in clearing the dishes, stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Quit? Why quit when you were doing so well?"

"I've been doing this for over ten years."

"Besides, you and Weilan are about to go to university, and there are expenses everywhere. If I don't do any work, how will we cover the household expenses?"

Jiang Feng knew that his mother had worked hard all her life and was the kind of person who couldn't sit still. He knew she would refuse to just stay home and enjoy her retirement, so he came up with a reason he had already prepared.

"I was thinking, how about I pay for you to rent a shop?"

"Sell whatever you want, be your own boss."

"No, no!"

Liu Aifang's first reaction was to wave her hands repeatedly, her tone resolute, "Mom knows you've become a grandmaster now, you're capable, and you make money fast."

"But Mom has never known anything about business other than stocking shelves and handling cash registers. What if she loses money?"

At this point, she looked at Jiang Feng earnestly and said, "Son, although you are powerful now, I have heard people say that the higher you go in martial arts cultivation, the more bottomless the pit becomes."

"Buying elixirs and weapons, which one doesn't cost money?"

"Your dad and mom aren't very capable and can't be of much help to you, but at least they have to make sure they can support themselves and not hold you and your brother back."

"Keep your money to buy cultivation resources!"

Listening to his mother's simple yet selfless words, Jiang Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
