Chapter 4: Cultivation

Martha kept staring at Grey, happiness clearly seen on her face “Moht, he’s lucky he didn’t lie to hton?”

Grey was nervous because of his e behavior

“Your Father” Martha said happily

“Dad?” Grey raised his brow clearly still confused about everything that was going on

“Yes Grey, your father He told o for the test, there was a possibility you wouldn’t awaken your element” Martha slowly explained to her son

“Wait, he kneouldn’t have any affinity with any of the elements?” The confused Grey asked

“Well, it can’t really be said knew But, yes, he did According to the scroll, it would have to stay inside of you for fifteen years”

Martha continued

“Insideinsideon

“Yes baby, as a newborn, you had a lot of health issues and no et any better Your father ca how unhealthy you were, he also tried his everything he could and even took you to the best healers he knew, but unfortunately, nothing worked” Martha slowly started explaining

“So, hoas I cured?”

Grey asked curiously

He never knew he had health problems as a newborn

“A pearl”

Martha said

“A pearl? How does a pearl cure someone?”

Grey asked still confused

“I’ to it”

Martha smiled and recounted what happened to her son

During one of his father’s adventures, he accidentally stumbled upon a ruined ancient te slowly in thepearl was a scripture, after reading it, he was astounded by the information it contained He quickly kept the pearl and the cultivation technique Yes, cultivation technique, what he thought to be a scripture was a cultivation technique

He reot from the pearl and was certain it wasn’t fake The description of the cultivation technique was unique, it stated that once one assimilates with the pearl after fifteen years, they would be able to wield all ele this, he wanted to cultivate it, but alas, there was a catch to it First, the pearl can only assimilate with a body that hasn’t awaken any ele assi with the body

He sadly kept the pearl and cultivation technique when he realized there was no way he could use it He got home a week after Grey’s birth and realized the situation his son was After trying everything he could but there was still no way to save him, he placed all his hope on the pearl

If the pearl has such a ive so someone wouldn’t be iht it up, which mother would allow an unknown pearl to be placed in her baby?

But after her husband persuaded her and seeing there was nothing they could do to save Grey, she gritted her teeth and accepted it Two days later, her baby was as healthy as he rightly should be

Although she still took Grey to take part in the test, she didn’t know if he would awaken his element then She also hoped there was a possibility he would awaken an element, but unfortunately, he didn’t

The notion of telling Grey about came to her when she sa depressed he was after the test, but then again, what if after he reached fifteen years of age he didn’t awaken any elements? What would she tell him then? He would be even e of twelve

Even she was starting to lose hope when there wasn’t any difference in him after he passed fifteen, the scroll stated Grey should use physical exercises to hone his body which he had been doing for almost three years now So, it was understandable she started feeling fearful about it

Grey sat down stunned by what he was hearing

“But, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

He asked

“When you passed fifteen did you awaken your element then?”

Martha asked
