Chapter 25: Father and Son in Secret
Chapter 25: Father and Son in Secret
After a deep sleep of twenty hours, it had been nearly two days since Song Chi had left his bedroom. Although he had informed his parents beforehand, he knew he had to show his face to avoid their worry or even a forced entry.
In the living room, both his parents were present. As the captain of the Ember Ship, they had no other duties and spent a lot of time at home.
Seeing Song Chi looking refreshed and invigorated, their concerns finally eased, and they felt a small sense of pride in their son.
Entering the Limit-Breaking state wasn't easy, even if it was a matter of chance. With this experience, as long as his luck didn't run out, the chances of mastering it were quite high.
The family chatted for a while, and then Song Zhao gave Chen Lixia a subtle nod. She walked to the living room sofa and began to fiddle with something. Song Chi, puzzled, watched as a hidden blue light screen emerged from the floor and quickly spread to every corner of the room, forming a complete, enclosed space.
Song Chi's eyes widened in surprise. As a man who had lived two lifetimes and had always been precocious, he had no idea his home had such a secret mechanism.
Song Zhao waved him over, and the two of them entered the study.
The moment they stepped inside, Song Chi was taken aback. The study, which he remembered as a place filled with a desk, bookshelves, and chairs, now looked entirely different. It resembled the chaotic space of the Ember Ship's Ancestral Core, but instead of the Eternal Flame burning at the center, there was a massive scroll, over ten meters long and wide.
Looking up, he saw a vast starry sky with the shadow of a Dragon Whale roaring to the heavens and a towering mech giant, standing over ten thousand meters tall, dominating the scene. This vivid image was etched onto the scroll.
The imposing silhouette of the mech giant on the scroll seemed to exert an irresistible pull, captivating Song Chi's gaze and leaving him rooted to the spot, unable to move.
His eyes quickly lost their shine, and when the light in them finally faded, he found himself standing under an eternal dark sky, with the towering mech giant's projection looming overhead and the shadow of the Dragon Whale hovering around it, solemn and majestic.
After an unknown amount of time, the mech giant's projection above him became more solid and imposing, and even the Dragon Whale's shadow became clearly visible.
Just as he was at a loss, his father's voice rang in his ears.
"Do not be afraid or resist. This is the 'Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale - Mythical Mech Visualization' passed down by the Song family of Dinghai.
As a closely guarded secret of our family, you must imprint this visualization deep into your mind and meditate on it daily. Combined with the enhancement of the Eternal Flame Seed, it will steadily and continuously strengthen your mental power."
"Do not underestimate the power of the mind. In the early stages, it may not be evident, but once you can enhance the Ember Ship to a certain level and activate its Mythical Mech form, the strength of your mind will directly determine the duration and combat power of this form. All descendants of the Song family of Dinghai must not slack in their practice of this visualization."
Hearing his father’s explanation, Song Chi was enlightened. Understanding that the mech giant projection was a high-level inheritance, he no longer resisted it. Instead, he focused his mind intensely, raising his gaze to observe every intricate detail of the mech giant projection.
Even Song Chi didn’t expect that this subconscious focus would once again put him into the Limit-Breaking state. With his mind split into three tasks, the engraving and imprinting of the mech giant projection became even more vivid and lifelike.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but when the mech giant above him finally faded, Song Chi exited the eternal dark starfield and returned to reality.
The study still looked like a chaotic space, and the visualization album was still placed in the center. However, this time, Song Chi no longer felt the special aura it once had. To him, it was now just a more realistic ordinary album.
Moreover, if his perception was correct, the images in the album seemed much dimmer after he had imprinted them. He estimated that another imprinting would render the images completely blurred and unusable.
“Each person can only visualize once in their lifetime. This album is not the original; it can allow your sister to visualize once more. The effectiveness of the visualization and imprinting varies from person to person. The better the imprinting, the stronger the mental enhancement; the worse, the weaker.”
“The highest imprinting effect in the history of the Song family of Dingshi was 80% of the original’s essence. Your father, with average insight, managed to imprint 45% of the essence.”
Song Chi’s father’s voice sounded in his ears. After speaking, he fixed his gaze on his son, clearly asking about the imprinting result.
Hearing this, Song Chi closed his eyes slightly, delved into his mind, and then reopened his eyes to give his answer.
“70%!”
Song Chi was quite satisfied with this result. According to his father, this was a very good outcome.
He also understood that it wasn’t his exceptional insight or talent that led to this result, but rather the fact that he had entered the Limit-Breaking state during the imprinting. With the enhancement of the Limit-Breaking state, he was able to imprint 70% of the essence. Otherwise, his result would have been similar to his father’s, around 45%.
As he expected, upon hearing the answer “70%,” a smile that couldn’t be hidden spread across Song Chi’s father’s face.
The two left the study, and Song Chi began to press his father for more information about the “Song family of Dingshi.”
“Dad, what exactly is this Song family of Dingshi? Could it be that our family has some glorious past that can’t be spoken of?”
Song Chi’s father was about to boast to his son, to regain some of the pride he had lost in front of his precocious child. However, a quick glance at the rapidly dissipating blue light screen and the fierce glare from Chen Lixia made him close his mouth.
“Why so many questions? You’ll know when you should. Now, go do what you need to do. Remember to pick up your sister on time tomorrow.”
Song Chi’s lips twitched, and he pouted but didn’t press further. He replied casually and left the house.
There was still a batch of resources from the Skydom to be sold, so he needed to make another trip to the black market.
An hour later, Song Chi returned home. Now, he had only 400 strands of zero-grade Floating Land Essence and 40 strands of first-grade Floating Land Essence left, along with a batch of emergency resources like Life Nuclei, Mercury Crystals, and Refined Gold for reinforcing the flying ship.
