A light breeze blew past, and in the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
Half a month later, Chen Heng once again returned to his home.
His original home seemed to be the same as before. Not much had changed compared to the past. At a glance, it was still the same.
Pedestrians walked through the old streets, and the buildings looked the same, giving off a sense of familiarity.
Chen Heng slowly walked through the streets and returned to his home.
When he arrived, he didn't greet the people around him like he usually did. Instead, he went straight home.
This was something that he could not do anything about.
Because as he displayed his skills in the League Tournament, he had gained quite a bit of fame not just in Dragon City Academy, but even in this small city.
The Chica League was the most authoritative competition in the Chica Federation. This wasn't just for show. It was the real deal.
In the Chica League, even if one only won a few matches and did not make it to the end, they would still have a large number of fans.
This was even more so for someone like Chen Heng, who had performed outstandingly in the Chica League.
With his current situation, he had a certain level of fame in the entire Chica Federation at the moment.
Perhaps he could not compare to some of the more powerful people, but he was not bad.
After all, this was his home.
As such, in order to avoid any trouble and waste time, Chen Heng did not greet the people around him and went straight to his home.
When he walked into the house, there was already someone waiting for him.
A little white dog silently stood at the door, seeming to have sensed Chen Heng's arrival. It looked at Chen Heng with a human-like look of curiosity.
This was Ye, the dog that Lu Yao had brought home.
Of course, his true identity was not simple; he was one of the Golden King's followers and was not weak at all.
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind before a sound once again sounded out.
"Big brother, you're back?"
A joyful voice sounded out from within the room.
Not too long after, Lu Yao appeared before Chen Heng and looked at him with a look of delight.
She was still wearing an apron, and it seemed that she had just been cooking.
Standing there, Chen Heng turned and looked around. In the distance, there was steam rising from the kitchen, and it seemed that someone was busy inside.
Looking at this scene, he could not help but nod his head and walk in.
Lu Yao went up and prepared to help Chen Heng take his luggage away when she saw a tall and pretty woman walking in with a suitcase in her hands.
"Alright, let's stop here."
Standing there, Chen Heng turned and looked at Liu Rou as he said softly, "You should leave."
"Alright."
Liu Rou shrugged and didn't have any objections. "In that case, I'll go back first."
"Take care of yourself. If you need anything, just give me a shout."
"I understand."
Chen Heng nodded and said softly.
After speaking, Liu Rou looked at Lu Yao and gave her a kind smile before turning and leaving.
Lu Yao stood where she was and looked curiously at Liu Rou's departing figure. She seemed to be very curious about her identity.
However, Chen Heng did not take the initiative to introduce her, and she did not take the initiative to ask.
"Alright, let's go and eat."
Standing there and looking at Lu Yao, Chen Heng smiled and said softly, "If there's anything, we can talk after eating."
"Alright."
Lu Yao nodded.
Following this, Chen Heng went to his room.
Within the familiar room, the surroundings were just like before. Even though it had been a long time since anyone had lived here, it still looked quite clean.
It seemed that people had often come to clean it.
"Big brother, dinner is ready."
Lu Yao's voice sounded out from outside.
She politely knocked on the door and walked in. After looking at Chen Heng, she said, "Mom and dad are waiting for us; is there anything else, big brother?"
"No, I'll be down in a bit."
A gentle voice sounded out.
Chen Heng turned and looked at Lu Yao before thinking of something, "That's right.
This is for you. "
Looking at Lu Yao, he hesitated for a moment before taking out an item and placing it in front of Lu Yao, "It should be useful to you."
He said softly.
Lu Yao looked down in confusion and could not help but feel pleasantly surprised.
This was the first time she had received a gift from her big brother.
She lowered her head and looked at it seriously.
There was a wooden box in front of her.
The wooden box was black, and there were some unique patterns embroidered on it. It looked very simple and unadorned, and it seemed to be very old. It was obviously very valuable.
After he started using it, there was an inexplicable warm feeling coming from the wooden box. It was very cool and unique.
She couldn't help but touch it subconsciously, and a sense of anticipation rose in her heart.
After a while, they went downstairs and had lunch together.
Lunchtime passed very peacefully. There were no fierce battles, no schemes, only small talk, and gentle greetings.
Chen Heng did not want this body's original body to be so impatient towards these greetings.
Some things were only beautiful after they had been lost.
Perhaps to the original body of this body, these things were merely uninteresting, distracting thoughts that prevented him from taking a step forward.
However, to Chen Heng, these were things that he had lost in the past and could no longer obtain.
After eating, Chen Heng once again left this place. He boarded a car that had come to pick him up and prepared to return to Dragon City Academy.
It was not that he wanted to be in such a hurry, but time was limited.
Above him, the threat of the five Knights was constantly present.
If he continued to waste time here, in half a year, when the five Knights truly descended, he would not be much better off than his original body.
As such, he did not have much time to waste.
"After returning to Dragon City Academy and taking care of those miscellaneous matters, I'll start to explore that historical remnant."
Following this, he boarded the car that had come to pick him up.
Behind him, Lu Yao and Ye were standing at the entrance of her house, sending Chen Heng off.
Seeing Chen Heng leave, she lightly sighed, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Big brother left in the end, and he only stayed for such a short period of time …"
She felt a bit disappointed as she thought to herself.
"Perhaps something happened to your big brother."
Ye's voice sounded out in her mind, comforting her.
"That's possible …"
Standing there, Lu Yao nodded before saying softly, "I'm not sure if it's just me …
"I feel that big brother is under a lot of pressure … as if he's quite anxious about something …"
She thought to herself.
Ahead, Chen Heng's figure could no longer be seen, and he had already left with the crowd.
Lu Yao continued to stand at the same spot for a while before returning home and walking into her room.
Within the room, it was just like before, but there was something extra.
It was a wooden box, the same box that Chen Heng had given her.
This was the present that Chen Heng had given her, and because time had been tight, Lu Yao had not opened it yet.
Only now did she remember what it was.
She slowly walked up and opened the box, revealing what was inside.
Unlike what she had imagined, there weren't any fancy gifts in the wooden box, nor were there any ordinary snacks or cosmetics.
Within the wooden box, there was a golden crystal silently lying within. As the wooden box was opened, a golden light flashed and slowly spread out, looking incredibly bright.
"This is …"
Looking at this thing in front of her, Lu Yao was stunned.
She didn't know what was in front of her, but an instinctive desire arose in her body. She seemed to have a vague urge to grab the golden gemstone in her hands.
This was especially so for the Gold Mark in her body, which was instinctively stirring.
"This is … an Evolution Stone?"
Ye's surprised voice came from the side. At this moment, he was also very surprised.
"Evolution Stone? What is this?"
Hearing Ye's voice, Lu Yao felt quite surprised, "This is the thing you told me about before …"
Before this, Ye had already taught her all aspects of cultivation.
Apart from Psychic Energy and martial arts cultivation, there was also a lot of general knowledge.
It was only because of this that she knew what Evolution Stones were and how precious they were.
"No, it's not just an ordinary Evolution Stone."
By the side, Ye's voice was quite serious, "If it was just an ordinary Evolution Stone, even though it's precious, it wouldn't make you feel this way, Your Majesty.
"But this Evolution Stone is different. There are many more things inside compared to normal Evolution Stones …"
"This is definitely much more precious than ordinary Evolution Stones. Even I can't help but feel a sense of desire …"
Her voice was quite serious, and looking at this Evolution Stone, her gaze was quite different.
Ye's identity was that of the Golden King's follower.
With his previous status and strength, a simple Evolution Stone wouldn't move him at all. It was just an ordinary Evolution Stone.
However, this Evolution Stone was different.
Ye could feel that there was an inexplicable and powerful force hidden in this Evolution Stone. It was like an origin, and she could not help but feel a sense of longing in her heart.
At that moment, she felt that if she could obtain this Evolution Stone, her injuries would recover greatly, and she might even be able to get rid of her current state.
"Even more precious than Evolution Stones?"
Standing there, hearing Ye's words, Lu Yao could not help but feel quite unsettled.
"Where did big brother get such a precious thing from … and why did he give it to me?"
She felt quite unsettled as various thoughts flashed through her mind.
"I'm not sure. Even in the starry sky, I've never seen anything like this before …"
Ye's voice continued to sound out, "However, what I can be sure of is that your big brother definitely spent a lot of effort to obtain such a treasure …
"Perhaps he risked his life …"
She said softly as she sighed.
For a treasure as precious as this Evolution Stone in front of her, even with her experience, she could tell that it was extremely precious. It was definitely a top-notch item.
With Chen Heng's strength, if he wanted to obtain such a precious item under normal circumstances, he would have to pay a great price, and he might even have to risk his life to obtain it.
Thinking to there, she thought back to when Chen Heng had given this thing to Lu Yao.
Just then, Chen Heng had been incredibly calm the entire time, as if this was not a priceless treasure and was just an ordinary item.
Now that she thought about it, it was most likely because he did not want Lu Yao to worry.
As she thought to herself, the image of a cold-faced but warm-hearted big brother who was willing to pay any price for his little sister appeared in her mind.
"As for why he gave this to you, Your Majesty …"
As Ye inwardly sighed in admiration, she thought for a moment before continuing, "It should be to help you awaken."
"Awaken?"
Lu Yao paused, feeling quite confused.
"That's right."
Ye nodded before continuing, "One of the uses of Evolution Stones is to help ordinary people who do not have Psychic talent awaken Psychic talent.
"However, ordinary Evolution Stones have probabilities, and not all of them can be used.
"However, this Evolution Stone is different.
"With how special this Evolution Stone is, I'm sure that if an ordinary person uses this Evolution Stone, they will be able to awaken Psychic talent and become a beast tamer."
Speaking to there, Ye once again sighed, "Perhaps your big brother wanted to help you become a beast tamer, which is why he obtained this for you."
"So it's like that …"
Lu Yao listened to Leaf's words and turned to look at the Evolution Stone in front of her. She couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
If that was the case, it would make sense.
Recently, due to the gradual awakening of the Golden Mark, she actually had the talent of Telekinesis, and could become a Beast Tamer.
However, in the eyes of others, she was still just an ordinary person and did not have any martial arts or beast tamer talent.
Such a person was destined to struggle in this world.
Perhaps it was because of this that Chen Heng had found this item for her.
After all, he did not know about Lu Yao's situation, nor did he know that Lu Yao had already stepped onto the path of cultivation.
In fact, the reason why Chen Heng had repeatedly fallen into difficult situations in the Elite League and had almost been beaten to death and then mysteriously lost was because of this Evolution Stone.
Thinking to there, Lu Yao felt quite complicated and did not know what to say.
At that moment, she felt that she owed her big brother far too much.
"Accept it, Your Majesty."
Ye's voice sounded out in her mind, softly comforting, "This is your big brother's kind intentions; it's best for you to accept it.
"Moreover, with this Evolution Stone, you can tell others about your situation in the future and will no longer have to hide it like an ordinary person."
Even though she had already stepped onto the path of a beast tamer.
On the surface, Lu Yao was still just an ordinary person and did not tell anyone about her situation.
Even though she could hide it, doing so would be too troublesome.
Moreover, as Chen Heng's strength continued to increase, Lu Yao did not believe that she could continue to hide it.
If he could use this opportunity to openly announce to others that he had become a Beast Tamer, then the situation would be much better.
Some troubles would also disappear because of this.
Thinking to there, Lu Yao inwardly sighed and silently nodded.
In the distance.
At some point, Chen Heng turned and looked in the direction that he had come from.
"I've already started using it?"
Sitting in the carriage and sensing that unique feeling, Chen Heng thought to himself.
The present he had given Lu Yao was indeed an Evolution Stone.
However, even though it was an Evolution Stone, Chen Heng had added something else to it.
Not only did it contain the Evolution Stone, but it also contained a portion of Chen Heng's purified divine power and even a portion of Chen Heng's divine power.
Chen Heng had fused these things into the Evolution Stone and used the Evolution Stone's power to hide them so that they could fuse into Lu Yao's body.
This was especially so for that portion of divine power. To a certain degree, it could be counted as a divine power seed. Not only could it allow Chen Heng to sense Lu Yao's location, but he could also use this divine power seed's power to temporarily create a divine power clone at a critical moment.
On one hand, it was for Lu Yao's safety, and on the other hand, it was to better control the situation.
After all, at the current stage, Lu Yao was definitely a Child of Destiny.
Beside a Child of Destiny, there were not only troubles but also opportunities.
At the same time, Chen Heng needed to keep track of Lu Yao's movements to know what the situation was like and how far it was from what he knew.
Because of these reasons, he had fused the divine power seed into the Evolution Stone and sent it into Lu Yao's body.
Right now, everything seemed to be going quite smoothly.
Divine power's intrinsic quality was incredibly high, and it was born from a god's divinity. In terms of intrinsic quality, let alone Lu Yao and Ye, even a Gold King at his peak would not be able to compare to it.
Using divine power as a catalyst, it was not difficult to conceal it and would be very difficult to detect.
