Yao Si was unconscious for a total of three days. When she woke up, she felt as though she had just finished a marathon. She felt fatigued and restless, but none of it mattered.
She had an ability!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha…
She was no longer a weakling among the bloodlings. Even though the water series was one of the weaker ones, it was better than not having any ability. Besides, even though the bloodlings were immortal, it sucked to only be able to get beaten without having an ability to fight back.
Yao Si decided to hone her skills and recalled all the books Mu Xuan had arranged for her regarding abilities. Afterwards, she started to recap the initial feeling, trying to feel the energy within her.
But…
After an hour…
Mmh, since it just awakened, I’m not very familiar with the technique.
After two hours…
Mmh, maybe I’m not doing it right, time to change the technique.
After three hours…
Mmh, maybe I haven’t read enough, time to study more.
After five hours…
Fu*ck, why can’t I feel anything? Hadn’t my ability awakened!
“Sisi.” Mu Xuan couldn’t bear to look any longer. He pulled her up onto a chair with disagreement on his face. “Have your meal first!” She had been sitting there motionless for the entire day. Even if it was urgent, she needed to eat.
“Dad…” Yao Si felt a strong urge to cry.
“Not dad.” Mu Xuan frowned, hating the term. “Use my name.” Blood relations didn’t exist among bloodlings. Father was just a respectful term for a child to call their mentor, but somehow his child had misunderstood, imagining him as her real father.
In the beginning, he didn’t seem to mind, but right now, he couldn’t seem to accept it.
“Mu Xuan…” Yao Si tugged on his clothes, sobbing sadly. “Was I dreaming? My ability awakened, right? Back when we were at Eternal Brightness, you saw me summon water… Is my ability the water series?”
“Mmh.” When her ability had erupted, it almost drowned the entire city.
“Then why can’t I feel anything?” Her method wasn’t wrong. She had already confirmed multiple times, but somehow her body felt empty, bearing no resemblance to the information in the books describing how it should feel. “I’ve been trying the entire day!”
Mu Xuan brought her a bowl of blood nourishing soup, then glanced at her face. She was on the verge of breaking down, and so he moved to pass the bowl over. “Don’t worry, it was just the first time you summoned your ability. Since you’ve exhausted yourself so thoroughly, it must have not returned to its normal state.”
“You mean the energy released was too great and I haven’t recovered?”
“Mmh.” He nodded, then noticed that she remained motionless and rushed her. “Hurry and eat, you’re still recovering.”
“Alright.” So abilities need to rest as well . Yao Si hurriedly downed the entire blood nourishing soup at a go, passing the empty bowl back. “I want seconds!” She wanted everything that could recuperate her strength.
Wasn’t it just taking a break? It would recover in a while.
But it never dawned on her that the wait might go on for three whole months. The entire time, regardless of what method she tested, she still wasn’t able to feel any change within herself.
Yao Si started to sink into despair, was there something wrong with her blood? Like maybe her genes had degenerated? But Elders were strongly against her assumption. They often repeated to her that gene degeneration could only be found in the lastests generations, how could it happen to a fifth generation bloodling like herself! This was a few hundred generation gap after all!
It made so much sense she couldn’t refute anything.
Yao Qian suggested that she sought Mu Xuan’s advise, but Mu Xuan seemed to be busy the whole time. Even if she wanted to discuss it with him, he wasn’t around.
When she thought back to the first time he had tested her ability, he seemed to have mentioned that she had a unique one, but she was convinced that it belonged to the water series. How then could it be special? Or had he been trying to hint at how it was a one time thing?
