Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 16 — 10 Year Old
"I underestimated this body too much, so there may be a lot of secrets that I don't know yet..."
Zhou Yuan regretted a little because he had not heard his teacher's explanation clearly, he had never thought of coming back to life and having the body of a Sky King.
Over the next few years, Zhou Yuan changed his training plan a bit, not only did he practice bone quality, but Zhou Yuan also improved his inner power capacity.
The pills Zhou Bing gave him every month made Zhou Yuan's practice go faster than he expected. When three years passed right at the age of 10, Zhou Yuan's practice achieved something satisfying.
The Diamond Bone Technique he trained had managed to reach 60% with the help of consuming the Night Fairy Flower every day.
Zhou Yuan's physical strength had now indirectly exceeded his physical strength in his former life.
Zhou Yuan experimented with the strength of his bones on a stone, by not using the power within he managed to make the stone crack even almost hollow.
"So this is the power of the real Diamond Bone Technique..." Zhou Yuan smiled in satisfaction as he sensed his new strength.
Although not yet 100%, Zhou Yuan's physical strength was already somewhat terrifying in the martial world, he could have cracked one's bones with a single swing of his fist.
Perhaps no one would have guessed that in the body of this 10-year-old child would have the physical strength of an adult gorilla.
On the different side, the energy within Zhou Yuan had reached sixty inner power circles thanks to the pills he consumed. His power level also rose and was at the realm of the Silver Realm swordsman Stage 9.
In the martial world, no boy has reached that level even from history. Zhou Yuan was confident that if his strength was not hidden, perhaps the entire Moon Empire would be in an uproar with his genius.
"Teacher, I brought you some tea water..."
Zhou Yuan's daydream broke when he heard a melodious voice from someone, he turned around and found the red-haired girl smiling at him while carrying a sip of drink.
The girl was certainly Xiao Rou, at the age of 13 Xiao Rou had grown into a sweet girl, it seemed that her face would attract the attention of many men in the future.
"Rou'er, didn't I tell you not to call me teacher anymore, you're not my student anymore." Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly.
"Teacher, I can't do that..."
Xiao Rou had almost mastered the Water Sword Technique as a whole with Zhou Yuan's guidance, a technique that should have taken decades to master was devoured by Xiao Rou in just three years.
Zhou Yuan was also very surprised by the growth of the girl, if not for her being reborn, Zhou Yuan's talent was simply no match for her.
Xiao Rou had been in the realm of the Silver Realm Stage 2 swordsman, at 13 years old it was an incredible achievement.
Zhou Yuan drank the tea the girl served, the tea was still warm but still refreshing to drink.
"As always, your tea is very good Rou'er, thank you..." Zhou Yuan stroked the top of the girl's head gently.
Xiao Rou's face flushed slightly and blushed in embarrassment, although he did not understand why he should be ashamed at touching the young man.
Slowly Xiao Rou had already shown his expression to Zhou Yuan, his socialization had also improved slightly from the early years they had met.
Xiao Rou could now express a smile in front of a Zhou Yuan, if it was in front of others, the girl still showed her cold and flat face.
"Wouldn't your grandfather be coming home today? When will Senior arrive?" Zhou Yuan started his second chat.
Zhou Yuan nodded, drinking his tea back. "That's great, hopefully Senior Xiao can arrive here safely..."
Unlike Zhou Yuan who looked calm with the news, Xiao Rou's face did not show the happiness he should have even though he would meet his Grandfather back.
Xiao Rou was not unhappy about meeting his grandfather but the reason for that was because indirectly the girl was going to part with Zhou Yuan.
"Is there something?" Zhou Yuan saw the look in the girl's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Teacher, do you think we'll meet again after I'm gone?"
Zhou Yuan frowned for a moment before understanding where Xiao Rou's conversation was going.
Three years was not a short time for the two to be together, it was only natural for Xiao Rou to feel heavy when they parted let alone that girl harboring some feelings for him.
"Of course we'll meet again, or you can come here whenever you want..." Zhou Yuan smiled warmly, comforting the girl.
Xiao Rou looked at Zhou Yuan deeply, her lips opened and was about to say something but was speechless when a servant came to the two and reported that Xiao Fan had arrived a few minutes ago. Zhou Yuan and Xiao Rou then went there.

"Grandfather..."
Xiao Rou immediately rushed over and hugged Xiao Fan tightly, looking as if the girl had missed her grandfather so much a long time ago.
"Rou'er, you've grown taller now, how are you here?" Xiao Fan stroked the head of the girl gently.
"I'm fine Grandpa, everyone in this residence is very friendly and kind..." Xiao Rou smiled widely before telling her what she was going through here.
Xiao Fan was a little surprised when Xiao Rou showed her emotions, it seemed like the new environment was very influential for the development of her grandson.
Xiao Rou told me a lot especially that he had managed to teach Zhou Yuan the sword up to a certain stage as his Grandfather commanded.
"That's great, you're indeed Grandpa's smartest grandson..." Xiao Fan stroked Xiao Rou's head proudly.
Zhou Yuan who saw that breathed a sigh of relief, he fortunately had spoken to Xiao Rou so as not to tell anyone about his abilities including his grandfather.
In the room were only Zhao Bing, Zhao Yao, and Lin Ruyue who were welcoming Xiao Fan. The arrival of Zhao Yuan and Xiao Rou slightly stopped their conversation.
"Brother Fan, you still seem to be tired after a long journey, how about you rest? I've prepared a room for you." Zhao Bing started to make a sound after the granddaughter's grandfather's reunion was over.
Xiao Fan shook his head. "I don't have time Bing, you know for yourself it's not about my position in the clan. I'm here to ask for your help again, especially about my granddaughter..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Fan would leave Xiao Rou here for another year. The reason he came here directly because he wanted to inform his request.
"The conflict in my clan is heating up, Rou'er still can't go back to his clan now. I'm not sure but if conditions like this continue the Xiao clan will really be split apart..."
Zhou Bing's expression turned serious, he had already heard from Xiao Fan that the internal conflict of the Xiao clan would be very long and long-lasting.
The main conflict occurred because of the seizure of the throne of clan leadership.
