"Dang! I also cast a dome upon him. Your stepfather was lifting all the furniture around us," Ling Li responded, her eyes widening as she recalled the scene. The room had been in chaos, with furniture levitating and objects flying in unpredictable patterns.
"I will ask your Pap's parents tomorrow if anyone else in the family has black magic. They might know something. Black magic is rare and could be passed to the next generation," Ling Li further explained, her mind working through the implications of such power.
"His black magic is that strong!" Shi Min's surprise was evident, his eyes widening. He and Ling Li both had mystic mastery. They were well-versed in the complexities of black magic, yet the revelation still astonished him.
"Mom, it looks like we have found three new geniuses in the family. If you had not decided to cultivate them further in martial arts, we wouldn't even know," Shi Min laughed, the sound a mixture of pride and disbelief.
"Especially this brat!" Ling Li said, pointing to Lily, who was practicing her techniques with fierce determination. "Yeah, I'm sure Ren would also be special in her own way in the future. She is not a body refiner, after all," Ling Li added thoughtfully, his gaze shifting to Ren.
"Ah! This big brat only thinks about Shun and nothing else. She gave up her sports, focused on her business, and wished to tie Shun on her waist," Shi Min stated, referring to his eldest sister, Ren. His tone was teasing, but there was an underlying truth to his words.
"Ha ha ha ha," Ling Li laughed after hearing Shi Min's playful jab. "How could you say something like that about your elder sister? Ha ha ha," she chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
Shi Min did not say a word but joined in the laughter with his Mom. The shared moment of joy lightened the atmosphere, filling the air with warmth and camaraderie.
"Don't worry, son; Ren will shine on her own," Ling Li declared, her voice filled with conviction. Watching her children cultivating together made her heart swell with pride and happiness.
"I know, Mom. I wonder if the twins will be as powerful as you and Paps," Shi Min mused aloud, his thoughts drifting to his mother's and stepfather's incredible skills. The potential within their family seemed boundless.
"Your words make me shiver; don't even think about them yet!" Ling Li replied, a shiver running down her spine at the thought. The possibility that Shi Min suggested was both thrilling and terrifying.
"Mom, I'm just stating the truth. You and Paps are both geniuses. Just how good can your children be?" Shi Min pressed on, eager to explore the potential of their lineage, at the same time teasing his mother.
"Heh, I'm going back to my apprentice," Ling Li said, leaving the room like a scared cat, which made Shi Min laugh heartily. The sound of his laughter echoed through the room, filling it with warmth and a sense of hopeful anticipation.
The next day after their foreign language class, Shi Min gathered the group—Four Eyes, Shun, Chatty, and Fatty—for another round of training at the camp. Mushu, ever the silent observer, tagged along. With only three days left before their journey to the Amazon, time was of the essence.
"You all carry on with the training. Shun, come with me." Shi Min's tone left no room for hesitation.
Shun, intrigued and slightly anxious, followed Shi Min to a nearby pickup truck. They drove deep into the forest, the air thick with anticipation. The dense canopy above created an almost eerie twilight, even though it was still daylight. When they finally arrived, the sounds of nature seemed to amplify Shun's pounding heart.
"Shun, don't worry. Let me explain. While you were cultivating, we noticed something unique about you. Your power is incredibly potent. I'm here to help you control it because, without proper guidance, it could destroy your body." Shi Min's voice was calm but firm.
"What power?" Shun's voice trembled with disbelief, the forest's shadows making the revelation even more surreal.
"You can summon fire. Remember you mentioned feeling hot and being in the middle of a flame?" Shi Min's eyes twinkled with amusement.
The realization hit Shun like a thunderbolt. The memory of the burning sensation now made sense. Shi Min chuckled at Shun's wide-eyed expression.
"I saw it the first night of your cultivation. But last night, the fire within you almost doubled. I didn't expect your power to be so enormous. But you need to be able to control it; otherwise, as I have said, it will ruin your body." Shi Min clarified.
"I don't know anything about it. And I still can't understand." Shun honestly said, scratching his head.
Shi Min stepped closer and said. "Let me show you what firepower is."
With a flick of his wrist, a red light formed in Shi Min's palm, growing until it was the size of a basketball. The glow bathed the forest in an eerie red light before Shi Min hurled it forward.
BANG!!!
The gigantic fireball exploded with a thunderous roar, toppling several trees and sending birds screeching into the sky. The display of power left Shun reeling. He was so stupefied he even jumped back after Shi Min threw the fire.
Shi Min waved his hand, and the fire vanished as if it had never been. Shun stood in awe, still trying to grasp the enormity of what he had just witnessed.
Back at the camp, the group who were training heard the loud thunderous sound from the forest and wondered what it was.
"What was that?!"
"What the fuck is that?"
"Focus on what you are doing, and don't get distracted; being too curious will kill you!" Mushu barked. Of course, Mushu knew what it was. He has that kind of power. 'Shi Min must be showing Shun his real power.' He thought.
"Do… Do you mean I have that kind of skill?" Shun's voice quivered with a mix of fear and excitement.
"Yes." Shi Min replied, his tone serious. He doesn't want to waste time and go around the bush. They have a very limited time.
