The days following the twins' third birthday brimmed with laughter, tiny disasters, and the delightful chaos of spirit cake fights. Yet beneath the surface of Tang Yan's sharp little mind, a growing tension whispered that something was amiss.
✨ Status Check: The True Power
Beneath the swaying boughs of an ancient tree, Tang Yan sat cross-legged, focusing inward. The familiar System window materialized:
**Tang Yan**
Soul Power: Level 15 (Locked)
Strength: 3800
Agility: 4800
Physique: 9000
Intelligence: 38000
Soul-Body Synchronization: 62%
Tang Yan frowned, the gnawing sensation of latent potential pressing against him. Despite his relentless training, his soul power stubbornly remained trapped at Level 15, while his synchronization ticked upward with slow determination. In a moment of curiosity, he checked Tang San's stats.
**Tang San**
Soul Power: Level 10 (Locked)
Strength: 850
Agility: 1900
Physique: 3700
Intelligence: 16000
Soul-Body Synchronization: 75%
Tang Yan's eyes widened in astonishment. Seventy-five percent! Tang San's synchronization was surging above his own! A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead, and an unyielding resolve sparked within him. *As the younger brother, I can't fall behind!*
✨ System's Meme-Level Trolling and Revelation
At that moment, the System lazily appeared, floating on a virtual flamingo floatie.
**[Welcome back to "Confused Baby Theater: Episode 999!" Featuring Host: Baby Tang Yan, Younger Brother Extraordinaire!]**
With a heavy sigh, Tang Yan addressed the System.
Tang Yan (grumbling): "Why isn't my soul power rising?"
System (mock tears): "Because, little Host, you're like a heavily armed rubber duck—dangerous, but utterly ineffective!"
Tang Yan (deadpan): "Real answer, please."
System (mischievously): "Fine! Prepare for some revelations that could change everything!"
With a dramatic snap, a chalkboard appeared, and the System began to elucidate:
"Strength = Damage potential + Brutal force.
Agility = Speed + Instant reaction + Combat instinct.
Physique = Defense + Healing Speed + Stamina Pool.
Intelligence = Thought Processing + Spiritual Power Depth!"
Grinning with mischief, the System continued, "You, Host, are like a tiger cub attempting to blend in as a sleepy kitten."
Tang Yan (wincing): "So… I'm wasting my potential?"
System (mock sympathy): "Yes, my dear, gifted disaster."
System (mock solemn): "You must PUSH every single stat to the maximum."
System (enthusiastic): "Move like lightning. Strike like thunder. Heal like a hydra. Think like a supercomputer!"
System (trolling hard): "Or else, you'll remain the World's Cutest Overloaded Potato."
With determination burning in his chest, Tang Yan clenched his teeth. "Fine! Challenge accepted."
System (throwing confetti): "Congratulations! Host has graduated from 'Occasional Genius' to 'Hopeful Potato 2.0'!"
Deep down, Tang Yan smiled fiercely, knowing that if harnessing every shred of himself was the key, he would surpass even that.
✨ Meanwhile: Bi Ji's Mission to Gu Yuena
From a distance, Bi Ji observed intently, her brows knitting with concern. She could see it clearly—not weakness, but a subconscious restraint gripping the twins. Tang Yan seemed to operate with only a fraction of his might, while Tang San was similarly stifled, both unaware of the true potential within. Their instincts cried out to hold back, to avoid shattering everything around them.
Realizing this couldn't continue, Bi Ji surged through the thick foliage of the Star Dou Forest, propelled by urgency. The air vibrated with ancient power as she raced toward her Queen. Finally, arriving at the radiant Core, she knelt before Gu Yuena, who sat atop the Life Gold, radiating a serene authority. Di Tian, a silent guardian, stood behind her.
Bi Ji (urgently): "Lady Gu Yuena, we need to discuss the twins."
As Gu Yuena's silver gaze sharpened, she gestured for Bi Ji to continue.
📚 Vivid Description of Bi Ji's Report
Bi Ji (bowing low): "Both children are unconsciously suppressing their abilities. Their power, their bodies—everything is restrained by fear of losing control."
"If we leave them like this, they will be plagued by instability and inner fractures on their future paths."
A profound silence enveloped them. The golden trees hummed softly, and Gu Yuena closed her eyes, lost in contemplation. When she finally spoke, her voice resonated with deep understanding.
Gu Yuena (calm yet firm): "Their strength has exceeded that of ordinary children. They must not pursue raw power any further; instead, they must learn to master the storms within themselves."
Her silver eyes opened, glistening with determination.
Gu Yuena (commanding softly): "I will create a special set of guidance techniques designed to help them adapt, to live without fear of their true power."
Bi Ji's heart lightened with hope as she bowed deeply, gratitude filling her chest. A change was surely on the horizon.
✨ Silent Stars Preparing to Shine
Back in Holy Soul Village, as the sun dipped low and fireflies blinked lazily amidst the evening dusk, two tiny boys played under the starlit sky—one quick-witted and scheming, the other thoughtful and earnest. Two stars navigating their intertwining paths, destined for greatness. The excitement for what lay ahead shimmered in the air. Soon, they would embark on the monumental journey toward their true potential.
