When the Star Soul awakened, Brian Carter knew that although his talent wasn’t great, he was definitely not trash either. However, dreams began to appear sporadically, and then his Star Soul suddenly became half-dead, making it impossible to break through the Martial Disciple stage, pacing back and forth without progress.

Especially after that strange, broken jade pendant appeared, no matter how hard he tried, his cultivation barely advanced, and sometimes even regressed.

Brian Carter understood very well that it wasn’t because he wasn’t diligent. But he had been a Martial Disciple for four years—how could he have worked hard for four years and still regressed? That just didn’t make sense.

Now that all the restrictions had been lifted, Brian Carter could already feel the star power between heaven and earth surging madly into his body as his spiritual power circulated!

It was like a desert that had been dry for ages, frantically absorbing water, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

The barrier between Martial Disciple and Martial Warrior was trembling violently, ready to break through at any moment...

He was just worried it was still too slow.

There were only a little over two months left!

Too urgent!

...

Emily Wright and Robert Carter walked together, talking as they went. Both had deeply furrowed brows.

...

...

The siblings were both lost in thought with their heads down, until they finally heard a sound at the door—a bang as it closed.

Immediately, Emily Wright's voice was heard: “Doggie! Has your sister come back yet?”

Brian Carter weakly walked to the door: “Mother... can you not call me Doggie... My sister is in my room!”

Emily Wright instantly became alert: “What are you two doing? Doggie, I’m warning you, you...”

Grace Carter rushed out, her face flushed red: “Mom! What are you thinking?”

The two of them went out, only to meet the suspicious gazes of Robert Carter and Emily Wright, who were scrutinizing the siblings.

“Don’t cause trouble!”

Robert Carter warned.

“Behave yourselves!”

Emily Wright warned.

“You’re so annoying!” Grace Carter blushed and rushed into her own room.

Behind Grace Carter, Brian Carter appeared with a speechless expression, looking at his parents with a look of utter despair.

“Get ready to eat!”

Emily Wright, seeing nothing unusual, finally breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled her eyes and pinched Robert Carter: “You, as a father, don’t even trust your own son and daughter. That’s too much. I’ve never seen a father like you!” She swayed her hips and left.

Robert Carter was a bit dumbfounded.

Was I the one who spoke first?

Wasn’t it you who shouted the loudest just now?

...

During dinner, Robert Carter said, “Xiao Nian, during this period, you don’t have to come home every day. At critical moments, you should stay at Star Martial more and consult your master.”

Grace Carter smiled gently: “It’s fine, I’m already prepared.”

Her beautiful eyes looked at her parents, then at Brian Carter, filled with deep longing. To break through the Yin-Yang Boundary—if she failed, she would die. Although she was full of confidence and almost certain of success, there was always that one in ten thousand chance.

If that one in ten thousand really happened, then the time spent with her family recently would be her last happiness.

...

Brian Carter shoveled food into his mouth while circulating his power to his eyes, only to feel that cool sensation surge up again, but it was much weaker now. In an instant, it reached his eyes, and then he looked at his parents’ faces.

He wanted to see what fate had in store for his dad and mom, so he could be prepared.

But as soon as he looked, Brian Carter was completely baffled.

On Robert Carter’s face... there was nothing?

He looked at his mother.

On Emily Wright’s face... there was nothing either?

Brian Carter was stunned.

What’s going on?

Where were the words?

Even after using up all the cool sensation, he still saw nothing.

Could it be that this hard-won ability had failed?

He looked left and right. Robert Carter finally couldn’t hold back, put down his chopsticks, faced Brian Carter directly, sat up straight, raised his head, and stared quietly.

“Dad, why are you looking at me like that?”

Robert Carter forced a smile: “You keep staring at me like you’ve never seen your old man before, so I figured I’d let you get a good look.”

“Take a good look—this is your father!”

Chapter 6: Brother Xiaoduo, don’t go...

Brian Carter, carrying his worries for Grace Carter, his confusion at not being able to read his parents’ faces, and the excitement of the continuous influx of Star Soul power, didn’t sleep well all night.

Moreover, he found that no matter how he circulated his power or focused his mind, that cool sensation was gone.

“It seems that with the awakening of this ability, I was only given a tiny bit of luck points, and after I looked at Sister Xiao Nian, it was used up.”

Brian Carter calculated in his heart.

But he was still puzzled.

When he looked at his dad and mom’s faces, he clearly felt that cool sensation appear, though it was brief. But he still saw nothing.

What was going on?

Well, being able to cultivate was a good thing.

Not just Sister Xiao Nian, I, Brian Carter, can also do something for the family now!

Brian Carter was very excited.

And also... I must work hard at cultivation, then think of a way—I have to solve Xiao Nian’s crisis! He thought it over and over, coming up with seventeen or eighteen plans in one night. Then he reasoned through them one by one...

...

The next morning, Brian Carter crawled out of his room with two dark circles under his eyes and went to school.
