"I did it..." Lin Yu collapsed in exhaustion. Looking at the warmly lit window downstairs, he smiled through his fatigue. "Dad, I'm one step closer to protecting you."
Downstairs, in a tiny ten-square-meter room.
Lin Tian, a middle-aged man who had just finished washing the dishes, wiped his hands and prepared to watch the evening news.
[Ding!]
[Detected bound target "Lin Yu" has advanced: Mortal → First-Rank Martial Artist.]
[Eternal Fatherhood System in effect...]
[Beginning synchronized advancement.]
Lin Tian froze for a moment.
The next instant, an indescribably vast power suddenly appeared inside him from nowhere, surging and expanding!
Martial Artist, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial Spirit!
He broke through four realms in one leap! His tremendous spiritual energy reached perfection automatically, while profound Martial Spirit-level techniques, combat skills, and soul-control arts were branded into his mind as if he had been born knowing them. He could even clearly "see" every wisp of spiritual energy flowing through the entire city and sense the path of a mosquito's wings several kilometers away.
All of it happened silently, in the blink of an eye.
Lin Tian lowered his head and looked at the slightly rough hands that had just washed the dishes. He clenched them, then opened them.
He could feel that, at this moment, a single slap from him could reduce the entire city he had sensed to ashes.
He looked up at the night sky outside the window, then toward the rooftop. There, his son, who had just broken through to Martial Artist, was excitedly clenching his fists, full of hope for the future.
"..."
Lin Tian was silent for a few seconds, then scratched his head, his expression a little odd.
"This System..."
"Isn't it a little too unfair?"
Is this forced sentimentality? 🤦
