--- Chapter 510 ---

"He... succeeded," Xing Lan murmured, still slumped on the cold metallic floor. Her gaze remained glued to the silver-haired boy standing at the center of the observatory, whose sheer presence seemed to serve as the axis of the starry sky. "He actually succeeded in helping that girl's spirit to evolve along the stellar path."

Han Tianyi glanced at Xing Lan and smiled faintly. "So, what do you think? I wasn't really bragging, was I?"

"My grandson... can create miracles."

"The exact miracle your academy has needed all this time."

"Hehe..." Xing Lan smiled bitterly in return. Her eyes drifted upward to the still-gaping Gate of Stars, overlapping the night sky above the Heavenly Star Observation Platform. "You're right. We truly need him."

"Though I doubt I have anything left to offer that could benefit him. Even handing over Tianxing Academy itself wouldn't be enough."

"There's no need for anything so grand... All my grandson currently needs is a protector, and you fit that criteria perfectly, Xing Lan. After all, you were very close to the boy's mother years ago," Han Tianyi muttered, shaking his head gently.

"Xu Bingchen... She was one of the most brilliant graduates this academy ever produced," Xing Lan whispered, a melancholic shadow crossing her aging face. "It's a tragedy she was dragged into the conflict between Shrek and the Holy Spirit Cult."

Han Tianyi nodded grimly. "I can provide all the grandfatherly love he needs in his life, but at the end of the day, I am still a man."

"He also needs a maternal figure... or rather, a grandmother figure—!"

"I am not that old! And that's a remarkably strange way of proposing a formal marriage to me, Han Tianyi!" Xing Lan glared daggers at the silver-haired man, making the formidable Super Douluo cough in sudden, acute embarrassment.

"Whatever..." Xing Lan turned her head away, though her tone softened as she gazed at the boy. "Since the boy needs a maternal figure to watch over him, I will step up."

"I'm not doing this for you, Tianyi."

"I am doing this for myself... and for Bingchen."

Meanwhile, at the platform's center, Mu Ye and Mu Chen were already pacing circles around Han Yuan and Mu Xi, examining the girl from her crimson-tinted head to her toes to see just how drastically the spirit evolution had altered her foundation.

"Xiao Xi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Tell Dad immediately if something feels wrong with your body!" Mu Chen asked anxiously, his hands hovering nervously.

Mu Ye shoved Mu Chen aside without ceremony. "Get out of the way! If she weren't feeling completely fine, she wouldn't be clinging to the boy like a leech!"

"I'm far more curious about her physical transformation. Girl, extend your hand. I need to check your physical constitution."

Mu Xi pouted at the two stinky elders, her slender arms remaining loosely wrapped around Han Yuan. "You two are ruining my moment with Xiao Yuan... but fine. Be quick about it!"

Gently grasping Mu Xi's extended wrist, Mu Ye infused a fine thread of his spiritual power into her body to inspect her condition. A second later, his eyes widened in sheer, pure shock. "T-This is..."

"Senior Mu, what is it?! Is Xiao Xi alright?!" Mu Chen's voice cracked with worry.

"Alright? She's more than alright!" Mu Ye shouted in pure excitement. "Her physical fitness has completely surpassed the standard limit of a Spirit Grandmaster! No, Spirit Ancestor!"

"I knew her secondary profession was blacksmithing, and that her body was tempered by hammering metals, but even then... her current raw physical density rivals top-tier Spirit Ancestors with true Body Spirits!"

"Her spiritual power is equally stable, and it's already surged by several hundred points, reaching the peak of the Spiritual Connection Realm!"

"Furthermore, I can feel a terrifying, high-voltage heat flowing naturally through her blood vessels... It must be an inherent trait born directly from her Martial Soul's evolution!"

Yet, there was one final detail Mu Ye kept to himself, his heart pounding in his chest. Deep within Mu Xi's lower dantian, her starlight-condensed spirit energy was showing distinct signs of forming a cyclone—yes, she had already taken the crucial first step toward condensing a Spirit Core!

Forming a spirit energy cyclone while still at the Spirit Grandmaster realm was completely unheard of in the history of the Douluo Continent. Calling her a monster was no longer an exaggeration. She was a Limit Douluo in the making!

"...Holy shit," Mu Chen cursed in utter disbelief.

He knew his dear daughter was reaping immense benefits, all because they had trusted Han Yuan's plan. Mu Chen knew his daughter well. She was talented, and with the resources he provided, she would have secured a very comfortable future.

However, she had been far from a true monster or prodigy in this unfair world.

Mu Chen had always believed that as long as Mu Xi's future was secure, he would be completely satisfied and would never pressure her to reach unsurpassable heights.

Yet now, reality struck Mu Chen hard. His daughter had transformed into a world-shaking genius! My daughter, Mu Xi, has the potential to reach the realm of a Limit Douluo!

While the two elders stood frozen in shock, Han Yuan had fully analyzed her transformation through his Eyes of Truth, which laid bare every secret behind her evolution.

'Rather than a transformation... Calling her an entirely new character than what the 'original' Mu Xi should be wouldn't be an exaggeration,' Han Yuan mused, clicking his tongue in quiet awe as he skimmed her detailed status page.

A faint, confident smirk touched his lips. 'Still... it's certainly not a bad thing.'

'For her...'

'...and for me.'
