Ch7: Special medicine

"But there's no need for you to worry about that now. Just focus on your task of gaining Mo Fan's trust. The most important thing for you is to concentrate on becoming stronger. As for the plans, leave that to me." Mo Shen clearly divided the tasks between himself and Mo Bai, leaving his son ample free time to focus on his training.

Meanwhile, Mo Shen took a small, rectangular box that appeared to be made of iron from his pocket.

"As you know, Mo Bai, the most important thing is to increase personal strength, isn't that right? But because of the innate seal, it remains dependent on bloodline and luck as well as how much maximum strength a person can reach. There are, of course, ways to obtain higher-level seals and enhance the previously assumed maximum, but there are many difficulties behind it and it requires a long time."

He paused for a moment, then continued in a completely serious tone, "There are natural treasures that contribute to increasing a person's talent and bringing them closer to a certain trait, and others that contribute to increasing an individual's physical and mental strength, and others... but they are very rare, and even the weakest of them, which only increases by about 5%, are considered very valuable, and even fourth-grade Seal Masters like our clan leader will fight over them."

"And the one in this box, Mo Bai, is called the Gene Boosting Medicine. I don't know its exact effect, but what I do know is that it provides a massive increase in both Nya and physical strength, since they're interconnected anyway, at least by 30% or maybe even more!"

"What?!" Mo Bai jumped up, screaming, his mouth wide open in involuntary shock.

"More than 30%! Are you sure, Dad?!" Mo Bai slammed his hands on the desk and instinctively moved his face close to his father's, a deep shock still evident in his eyes, along with a subtle anticipation of what this meant.

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure, Mo Bai." A faint smile appeared on Mo Shen's face as he watched Mo Bai's expected reaction.

"Hahaha, amazing, this is so amazing! How did such a treasure fall into our hands? This is not luck, this is divine will, desiring that I should prosper and achieve what I aspire to." A manic smile appeared on Mo Bai's face, covered with incomparable ecstasy, as he fully opened his arms, raising them with boundless happiness.

Before a voice with a sternness could break through Mo Bai's daydreams and make him wake up, a slight frown appeared on Mo Shen's face.

"Don't get carried away with your dreams, Mo Bai. This is not divine will or anything like that. This medicine was left to you by your mother before she died. Don't start dreaming and thinking that you are the chosen one, the son of heaven whose path is paved with beautiful roses."

"You are an ordinary person, your destiny is average, and if you want to achieve anything above average, you must go through a path full of thorny roses covered with hard work, sweat, and blood. If you do not understand this, do not think that you can achieve anything in your life!"

"I know that, Dad, I just got a little too excited." Mo Bai came to his senses, secretly clenching his fist tightly, clearly dissatisfied with his father's words.

"Good, then. Take it. Let's go down to my private training room so there's no disturbance." Mo Shen stood up and handed the iron box to Mo Bai, who gripped it tightly, his eyes blazing as his mind raced.

"Mother, thank you for letting me do this. Even though I've never seen you before, I will make sure to avenge you. I will never let your blood be spilled in vain."
