C4 Discover a New Son at Any Time and Place

"Take a look, is this your son?"

Jin Zhuo handed his phone to Faang Zhengyi, displaying a video that was clearly taken less than ten minutes ago. He had come prepared, capturing everything on camera, certain his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

The incident had unfolded right at the entrance of Everdawn Academy, which was precisely why he had sought out Faang Zhengyi. To be honest, he hadn't witnessed such deft skills among the Cyborgs' younger generation, let alone the older ones. It was as if the technique was second nature, perfected through intense and rigorous training. Ideal for a surprise attack!

"So, Faang, that's your son, right? I haven't seen the kid in years, but I never expected him to be so resilient," Jin Zhuo remarked, clapping Faang Zhengyi on the shoulder, his face etched with a mix of awe and nostalgia.

Faang Wei's prowess had given Jin Zhuo a glimpse into the Cyborgs' promising future. He was determined to recruit Faang Wei into his ranks, even if only as a coach. He could show the newcomers what it truly means to be a powerhouse.

On the other side, Faang Zhengyi watched the spirited young man in the video, recognizing his son not only by his steel-like physique but also by the handsome face he had inherited. Who else could it be but his own child? Yet, there was one question that lingered.

Watching the video to the end, it was clear that the technique Faang Wei used wasn't something he had taught. Where had the young man learned such a skill, and to use it so effortlessly? Even at his own level of Spirit's Awakening eighth level, it seemed possible that his son could emerge unscathed in a confrontation. It was nothing short of remarkable.

But the gap between Faang Wei's current Alpha Dawn fourth level and the Spirit's Awakening eighth level was vast, spanning five major tiers. From the Alpha Dawn first level to the ninth, the Primordial first to the ninth, Pure Heart first to the ninth, Evolution's Spark first to the ninth, Enlightenment's Dawn first to the ninth, and Abandonment's Dawn first to the ninth, before finally reaching the Spirit's Awakening first to the ninth level.

Where on earth did this kid get such strength?

And even if he was using a martial skill cultivation method, he hasn't demonstrated such an advanced level of martial skill. Besides, with his current abilities, he couldn't possibly activate such a high-grade cultivation method.

This is truly bizarre.

How has my son become so formidable in just a few days?

Or could it be that I've somehow gained a son with exceptional talent without knowing it?

But that doesn't make sense. It's not like I have an all-seeing eye to discover a new child out of nowhere.

To uncover the truth, there's only one thing to do—

I need to find Faang Wei!

"Where did he go after he left?"

Faang Zhengyi asked, looking up from his phone.

Jin Zhuo pocketed his phone and nodded towards Everdawn Academy.

"He's in the dormitory. I just checked the signal."

"Let's go have a word with him!"

Faang Zhengyi strode off without a moment's hesitation, eager to get to the bottom of this mystery.

If his son truly possesses such strength, then the Academy Grand Tournament is as good as won!

Even though I have no clue how the kid managed it, one thing's for sure: the nine great academies' wish to see Everdawn Academy fall has been thoroughly dashed.

It's simply not going to happen!

The thought of the other principals' crestfallen faces puts Faang Zhengyi in high spirits.

"Tell me, Jin, don't you think the heavens have a way of working things out? Just when Everdawn Academy was in jeopardy, they sent me a son with extraordinary talent."

Faang Zhengyi's musing reached Jin Zhuo's ears, prompting him to interject—

"Old Faang, are you telling me you had no idea your son was this powerful?"

"…"

Faang Zhengyi chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself—

If I knew, it would be a miracle.

Regaining his composure, Faang Zhengyi ventured a guess.

"Perhaps the boy had some incredible stroke of luck. Maybe he encountered an old man with a portable space?"

"Hasn't this sort of thing happened in other universes before?"

"…"

Jin Zhuo, at a loss for words, could only think how nonchalant Faang was as a father. What if his son had experienced a life-altering rebirth? What then?

Don't assume that sheer strength is the key to ruling; it all hinges on whether your son is destined to be the protagonist!

He was well aware that now wasn't the time for such discussions. Faang Wei's mysterious emergence of power would be clarified after a thorough questioning later.

If it turns out to be some old man with a portable space, then it's imperative to squash the threat before it grows.

Typically, those who come into such power don't lead easy lives; they're either busy showing off or on their way to do so.

Nowadays, show off too much, and you're asking for a lightning strike!

"Stop overthinking it. We'll get to the bottom of this later. This is no trivial matter; we must stay vigilant."

He cautioned Faang Zhengyi, urging him not to be lenient just because it's his son involved. After all, it might not even be his son at all.

Initially, he suspected Faang Zhengyi was deceiving him, perhaps hiding a son with exceptional talent from him.

But now he realized that even Faang Zhengyi was in the dark about how his son acquired such extraordinary abilities. This was a serious issue.

Let's not stir up any trouble.

"I get it, I get it."

Faang Zhengyi nodded earnestly.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to get a clear answer later."

"If he refuses to talk, I'll beat it out of him!"

"It's been too long since I've given him a good thrashing. The kid's been getting too comfortable lately!"

"…"

Jin Zhuo could only offer a sheepish grin in response to these words, his face stretching into a smile that wouldn't quite close. He thought to himself, I'd sooner believe pigs can fly than believe you'd actually go through with it.

And let's not forget, you're the one with muscles like steel; you're more likely to hurt your own hands!

With nothing left to say, Jin Zhuo resigned himself to the situation. He'd play it by ear.

After all, no matter how formidable the young man might be, he surely couldn't surpass Faang Zhengyi, who was at the eighth level of Spirit's Awakening. What was there to worry about?

This realization brought Jin Zhuo peace of mind. He decided to take things as they came and make a decision when the time was right.

"Huh? Isn't that Wei over there?"

Jin Zhuo snapped back to reality and looked up just in time to see Faang Wei heading toward the entrance. He quickly called out—

"Wei!"

"Wei!"

"Wei???"

"Sounds like someone's calling you?"

Jumpy, perched on Faang Wei's shoulder, cocked his head and glanced back, spotting an eccentric-looking uncle, and next to him...

"Wei!"

Faang Wei felt a wave of annoyance at the grating voice. Who on earth was calling him Wei?

Couldn't they call him Lord Wei instead?

Reluctantly, he turned around to see two men. One seemed to be a Cyborg, just like himself. The other was clad in a green and white robe, with short, neat hair and casual white sneakers. It had to be said—

Good looks really do let you get away with anything.

"Who's this handsome guy?"

Faang Wei murmured to himself.

Jumpy beside him let out a weary sigh—

"That's my dad, and now he's your dad too."

"..."

Faang Wei was at a loss for words. He had indeed switched bodies and somehow gained a bargain of a dad!

But that 'dad'... he really couldn't bring himself to say it!
