Douluo Dalu: Elementalist

Chapter 4: Father's Past



As the mother and son returned to the house, no spoke for a while. Qin xi found the atmosphere to be a little depressing, but couldn't guess the reason. The silence was finally broken by his mother's question.

"Xin'er, you've always been mature beyond your age. You must've thought something, so tell me what do you want to do."

Qin raised his head and looked at his mother, with a doubt on his face. She has too many secrets and no matter what, he will definitely get them today. "Mother, I seem to have another spirit."

Without waiting for his mother to say something, he released his second martial soul and a beautiful emerald swan appeared behind Qin xi. It looked extremely sacred and noble with beautiful light green feather all over its body. As soon as it appeared, the plants in the pot near the window started to bloom rapidly, and a sense of refreshness filled the air.

A shock appeared on Qin Rou's face as she saw the martial soul behind her son. Her son was a twin spirit, a twin spirit. This was too shocking. After finally calming down muttering something for a while in her mouth, she hurriedly said: "Take back the spirit, and Xin'er, promise to never use this martial soul in front of anyone."

Qin xi obeyed the first instruction, cancelled the marital soul and questioned back: "Why, give me reason."

Qin Rou was going to scold as usual, but when she saw her son's extremely determined eyes, she stopped. The look on his face was way mature beyond his age.

She sat on a nearby chair, and after being silent for a while, she finally spoke: "Your second martial soul Emerald swan is a very powerful auxiliary martial soul, one of the top spirits in auxiliary system. In fact, it can be ranked first in the ranking of auxiliary spirits. Its auxiliary abilities are considered best and more importantly, it doesn't have any restrictions of other top spirits like Seven treasure pagoda or Nine heart begonia, which can can cultivate to level seven rings or can only be passed down in one generation."

Qin xi nodded in understanding. He has read the second part of douluo and knows how powerful emerald swan truly is. Biji, one of the ten ferocious beast is an emerald swan, and is called the strongest nanny. It has top class life attribute, just a little away from ultimate level. But its still unmatched by any other soul beast or tool spirit. He was considering about asking his mother that why did she know so much, but her next words completely shocked him before he could say anything.

"In fact, you are the second person in last hundred years to awaken this spirit, and third one in the history. Your father who was last holder of the spirit awakened it because his spirit mutated in a positive direction from the normal swan spirit of Tiandou Royal family." After saying this much, Qin Rou was silent as if allowing her son to digest the information.

Qin xi mouth was opened so wide that an egg could fit, but he was too shocked to pay any attention to it. Emerald swan, swan spirit, Tiandou Royal family generational spirit. All the dots started to link together and it finally started making sense. Now he even had an idea about why his mother never mentioned anything related to his father, why they lived in such a small city, but he still needed confirmation.

Qin Rou saw her son's inquiring eyes and nodded: "Yes, your father is the brother of current emperor Xue ye, he was the youngest."

So his guess was ture, thought Qin xi. Just one and the important doubt needs to be cleared. "What happened to him?"

"Although your father was called once in a century talent of Tiandou Royal family, but that was the problem. Emperor Xue ye had just ascended throne, and even when your father never had any intention, the presence of a very talented and wise prince was a huge threat to the rule. But the real problem started when your father got his sixth spirit ring and rumors started to fly that the title of number one auxiliary marital spirit needs to be changed. No one knows who started the rumors, but they soon reached Seven treasure glazed sect. Soon afterwards, your father was transferred to frontlines on his majesty's orders, and just few days after that, the news of your father's death came. The head of the camp where your father was stationed was a person from Seven treasured sect." After saying this much, she finally couldn't contain herself and started crying: "I escaped only because no one knew of my relationship with your father, as we were going to wait for your father's return from battlefield before making it public."

Qin xi looked at his crying mother and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
