10: Chapter 10 Chaotic Body

The next morning, the morning sunlight no longer carried the sour, dusty smell of Sector F. Instead, it poured unreservedly through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling across the polished, mirror-like marble floor.

Canglan Base City, Sector A, Cloud Peak Manor.

This was the core area of the entire base city, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and the residents were either wealthy or influential. At this moment, the top-floor detached villa numbered "A-001" had welcomed its new owner.

Su Wu requested three days of leave from school for Su Yu.

After yesterday's events, the child needed time to settle his thoughts and adapt to this world-shaking new reality.

"Dad, is... is this really our home?"

Su Yu held a worn-out photo frame, standing in the center of the massive living room that spanned at least two hundred square meters, looking somewhat ill at ease. Beneath his feet was a carpet woven from unknown beast skins, above him was a crystal chandelier, and the surrounding holographic smart home System was automatically adjusting the room's temperature and humidity.

Compared to the thirty-square-meter tenement building they had lived in yesterday, where the wind leaked through and the wall plaster peeled off, this was like the difference between clouds and mud.

"Silly boy, has this already scared you?"

Su Wu was wearing a loose training suit, playing with the manor's keycard that City Lord Pan Hong had sent someone over with. He casually tossed the magnetic card, which symbolized the highest authority in Sector A, onto the coffee table and walked over with a smile.

"This is just the beginning. In the future, we will live in places ten times, a hundred times larger than this, or even... go into the starry sky."

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

In the past, he would have thought his father was bragging, but after witnessing the god-like descent in the Martial Arts Room yesterday, even if his father said the sun was something he had rolled into a ball, Su Yu would believe it.

The father and son hadn't brought much luggage.

Aside from memories, there was truly nothing material worth holding onto in that home in the slums. They only brought some old clothes and the most important thing—an old iron box filled with photos of his mother.

After a busy morning, the father and son personally placed those memory-filled photo frames in various corners of the new home. Seeing his mother's gentle smile in the photos remain warm even against the luxurious backdrop, this cold, massive mansion finally gained a touch of life.

"Phew..."

Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and slumped onto the leather sofa, picking up a bottle of specially supplied "Blue Algae Nutrient Water" from the table and taking a gulp.

This luxury item, which cost five federal credits a bottle, was something he had only seen in advertisements before, but now it had become the household's daily drinking water.

"Dad."

Su Yu suddenly put down the water bottle, his expression becoming somewhat solemn and confused.

"What's wrong?" Su Wu, who was adjusting the gravity training room in the house, walked out upon hearing him.

"Actually... when we were in the Martial Arts Room yesterday, I kept feeling like my state was weird." Su Yu looked at his hands, his brow furrowed. "Even though I broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm, I've read in books before that for someone who has just entered the Qi and Blood Realm, their Qi and blood are as volatile as mist. Meanwhile, Wang Heng is in the Middle Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, so his Qi and blood should be as condensed as water."

"Logically, even if my punch could hit him, it should have only caused him a bit of pain at most. It should have been impossible to directly break through his protective True Qi and send him flying so far... Moreover, in that instant, I felt like there was a vortex inside me, and the surrounding air was drilling into my body."

The more Su Yu spoke, the more inconceivable it felt to him.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wu's eyes narrowed slightly.

In fact, he had also been wondering about this. Although they say "a tiger father does not have a dog son," Su Yu's performance yesterday was indeed more than just a "challenge across levels"; it was an explosive power that bordered on "crushing."

"Come here and sit down. Concentrate your mind and calm your breath; do not resist."

Su Wu walked over to his son, his expression turning serious.

Su Yu obediently sat cross-legged on the carpet and closed his eyes.

Su Wu extended his right hand and gently pressed it against his son's back. With a thought, a wisp of gentle yet extremely pure Martial King-level Qi and blood slowly flowed into Su Yu's Meridians.

Under internal vision, the scene inside Su Yu's body was clearly displayed in Su Wu's mind.

*Hiss...*

The moment he saw it clearly, Su Wu was startled.

In a normal Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, the Qi and blood in their body should be like a babbling brook, thin and slow. But the Qi and blood in Su Yu's body actually appeared as a dark red, viscous substance, as heavy as mercury!

Although the total amount was indeed only at the Early Stage, this density and quality were simply more terrifying than the Late Stage of the Qi and Blood Realm!

"Wide Meridians, and his bones are faintly glowing with a jade-like color... how did this kid's foundation suddenly become so thick?"

Su Wu was filled with doubt.

Just as he was controlling that wisp of Qi and blood, preparing to delve deep into Su Yu's Dantian to investigate, a sudden change occurred!

The mass of dark red Qi and blood that had been quietly resting in Su Yu's Dantian seemed to sense the intrusion of foreign energy and suddenly came "alive."

*Buzz!*

Su Yu's Dantian spun violently, actually transforming into a bottomless black vortex!

"What?!"

Su Wu's face changed drastically.

He felt the wisp of Qi and blood he had input being uncontrollably and frantically pulled and devoured by that vortex! This suction even followed his palm, attempting to plunder his own body's Qi and blood!

"Not good!"

Su Wu reacted extremely quickly. His Martial King Realm cultivation erupted instantly, forcibly severing the connection to that wisp of Qi and blood as he withdrew his palm like a flash of lightning.

*Thud, thud, thud!*

Even so, that eerie counter-force still caused the unprepared Su Wu to retreat half a step.

Meanwhile, Su Yu's whole body trembled as he snapped his eyes open.

Not only was he uninjured, but he actually felt a warm current flow through his entire body in that instant. The muscles that had been somewhat sore from moving were instantly restored, and the Qi and blood in his body even grew slightly stronger!

"Dad! What happened?" Su Yu was startled to see his father retreat. "Is there something wrong with my body?"

Su Wu did not answer immediately.

Because at this moment, deep in his mind, the System notification sound that had been silent for a long time was ringing frantically like a thunderclap!

[Ding! Detected that scion Su Yu's Qi and blood have undergone a qualitative change!]

[Congratulations to the host! Scion Su Yu has successfully awakened a hidden Physique—Chaos Body!]

[Chaos Body: One of the top Physiques in heaven and earth. Those with this Physique have no attribute restrictions on their Qi and blood and can devour all energy for their own use. Invincible in the same realm, crossing stages is as easy as drinking water. The starting concentration of Qi and blood is ten times that of an ordinary person!]

[According to the 'Fathers Status Rises with the Son' rule, since the scion has awakened a Physique, the host will receive an advanced version as feedback!]

[Congratulations to the host! You have obtained—Supreme Chaos Body!]

*Boom!*

In this very instant, Su Wu felt an earth-shattering explosion occur inside his body.

The purple-gold Qi and blood that had been flowing in his body suddenly collapsed and contracted at this moment, finally transforming into an indescribable color—the color of Chaos, a hazy gray.

If Su Yu's "Chaos Body" was a powerful vacuum cleaner that could devour surrounding energy,

then Su Wu's "Supreme Chaos Body" was a black hole in the process of forming!

Su Wu clenched his fist, feeling that terrifying power that controlled everything, his heart filled with extreme shock.

This System... is too overbearing!

"Dad? Dad! Are you okay?!" Su Yu saw his father standing frozen on the spot.

Su Wu took a deep breath and instantly restrained all his aura.

He looked at his anxious son, a mysterious smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he spoke with feigned depth:

"What's the panic? Your old man is fine; I just discovered an extraordinary secret."

"A secret?" Su Yu was stunned.

"Yu'er, the reason you felt your body was strange just now is that you've awakened an extremely rare special Physique." Su Wu held his hands behind his back and began to "popularize science" in a serious manner. "This Physique allows you to have a Qi and blood concentration far exceeding ordinary people, and it can also absorb an enemy's Qi and blood during battle to restore yourself."

"This is exactly why you were able to send Wang Heng flying with one punch."

Su Yu listened, dumbfounded, and then a surge of immense wild joy flooded his heart.

"A special Physique?! Absorbing people's power?!"

The light in the young man's eyes was even more dazzling than the sun outside the window.

"Heavens! Does that mean I'm a one-in-a-million peerless Genius?!"

"You could say that." Su Wu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of doting affection. "As long as you are willing to work hard, your future achievements will be limitless."

Having received his father's confirmation, Su Yu jumped up in excitement, waving his fists.

Suddenly, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Wu with bright eyes, his face written with the high spirits of youth:

"Dad! Since I'm a peerless Genius, then I've decided!"

"Decided what?" Su Wu raised an eyebrow.

Su Yu took a deep breath and pointed at the vast sky outside the window:

"I will, within five... no, three years! I will surpass you!"

"I want to become an expert even more powerful than a Martial King! When that time comes, it'll be my turn to protect you, and I'll take you to the starry sky to bring Mom back!"

Looking at his son's serious and hot-blooded appearance, Su Wu was stunned for a moment.

Then, he lowered his head, his shoulders shaking slightly as if he were stifling a laugh.

Surpass me?

My silly son.

For every step you take forward, I automatically take four steps forward, and I've even paved the road into a highway for you.

In this lifetime, if you want to surpass me... I'm afraid the only way is to wait until I'm too old to move.

*Cough, cough...*

Su Wu coughed twice, forcibly suppressing the smile at the corner of his mouth. He walked over, patted Su Yu's shoulder, and encouraged him earnestly:

"Good! You have ambition! I'll be waiting for that day!"

"But before you surpass me..."

Su Wu changed the subject and pointed to the nearby box of miscellaneous items that hadn't been put away yet.

"First, tidy up your room. Whether you're a Great Grandmaster or a Martial King, how can one sweep the world if they cannot sweep their own room? Get to work!"

"As you command! Father!"

Su Yu gave a comical military salute and, full of energy, ran towards his room clutching the box.

Watching his son's energetic back, the smile on Su Wu's face gradually softened, then turned into a look of determination.

"Since my son has such talent, I can't let him just stay in the greenhouse of the school. I have to find some real 'whetstones' for him..."
