Part 3
This time, the doctor explicitly told him that one of the cubs in his belly appeared to be a little rabbit.
A faint, almost imperceptible frown appeared on his brow. He instinctively placed a hand on his belly, feeling a deep sense of sympathy.
As a child of the Yun family, he knew that the kind of children Madame Yun and General Yun wanted were powerful ones.
Because his second form was a white rabbit with zero offensive power, he hadn’t been liked by his parents since the moment he differentiated.
In this moment, he understood that this little rabbit cub, who shared his form, would likely not be liked by his grandparents from the moment of birth.
He felt incredibly sorry for this little rabbit cub.
Aside from that, Yun Yingzhi also thought about other aspects.
White rabbits were so fragileâwhat if this child was bullied in the future?
He was already starting to worry about the future of his delicate little rabbit cub.
Suddenly, he thought of the other cubâthe one that had differentiated into a second form under the influence of the little rabbit.
He asked, “Then, Doctor, what about the other cub? Can you see its second form yet?”
Mainly, he didn’t know what Prince Elvisâs second form was, so he had no reference point. But if the other cub was stronger, could it protect the little rabbit?
These two cubs would definitely have to go to school together.
The doctor paused for a moment before saying, “For now, it looks like an egg.”
Yun Yingzhiâs eyelids jumped, and his mind filled with images of chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and quail eggs.
After a pause, he said, “In other words, that kind? It might be a chick? A duckling?”
Chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs? Generally speaking, that category of cub was just as fragile.
A fragile white rabbit and a fragile little chick? He was already worried sick for the two of them.
Only now did he understand why Yun Yinghui used to be so nervous about him at the slightest sign of trouble, and why his brother always contacted a bunch of older brothers and sisters to look after him whenever he went on a long trip.
Because in Yun Yinghuiâs eyes, he really was very weak.
The doctor said, “It could also be a bird of prey.” He added, “While itâs not absolute, a childâs second form is usually easily inherited from the parents. You can use the other fatherâs second form as a reference.”
Yun Yingzhi left the hospital with a nervous heart.
December 12th.
Yun Yinghui contacted Yun Yingzhi. He had already boarded a spaceship and, barring any accidents, would arrive on the Imperial Planet on December 14th.
Hearing this, the worry he had felt for the two fragile cubs over the past two days finally eased slightly.
He thought again of the Grade Four source weapon he had manufactured during the preliminaries.
According to the patterns of previous Star Brilliance Competitions, on December 14th, the appraisal results for all weapons from the preliminaries would be released. Approximately 85% of the participants would be eliminated, and from the remaining entries, ten of the most outstanding weapons would be selected for a live appraisal.
Yun Yingzhi thought the timing of his brotherâs return was perfect.
The appraisal for those ten weapons was spread over three days, from the 15th to the 17th. Yun Yinghuiâs return was just in time to help him test a weapon.
Wait, no, that wouldn’t work.
The weapon he had made was suitable for a warrior with a singular Metal attribute; it wasn’t suitable for Yun Yinghui.
He thought for a moment. One of his brotherâs friends seemed to be a pure Metal-attribute warrior.
If possible, that brother could help him with the appraisal.
In the next moment, Yun Yingzhi realized he was overthinking it.
There were so many source weapons in the preliminaries, and he had only made a Grade Four weapon. Among so many entries, it was almost impossible for his Grade Four weapon to stand out.
He stopped thinking about it.
He made an agreement with Yun Yinghui to go to the spaceship station to welcome him on December 14th.
In the blink of an eye, it was 10:00 AM on December 14th.
Yun Yingzhi packed twenty source weapons into a large bag.
Yes, twenty.
From the end of the preliminaries until now, he had manufactured another eleven Grade Six source weapons. The total number was exactly twenty, just enough to fill the gift boxes he had bought.
After letting his three roommates know, and with the official leave Yun Yinghui had requested for him, he ran out of the academy openly and headed for the spaceship station.
At precisely 11:00 AM, he arrived at the station.
To his surprise, he saw several familiar facesâor rather, those familiar faces recognized him.
Nan Gongqing, Shan Junyu, Jin Taichu, Jia Qingwan…
In total, there were eight people, all of whom were his brother’s good friends from the past.
After hearing the news of his return, they had come specifically to pick him up, and then they spotted Yun Yingzhi.
He was happy to see these eight familiar older brothers and sisters and hugged each of them.
Nan Gongqing ruffled his hair and said, “Zhi-zhi, you heartless little rabbit. Itâs almost impossible for us to even catch a glimpse of you.”
Yun Yingzhi explained obediently, “Itâs not like that, Brother. You know Fanse Academy is a closed-off campus; itâs very hard for me to get out.”
Suddenly, he received a notification for a call. It was a voice communication from the organizers of the Star Brilliance Competition.
Yun Yingzhi excused himself and stepped a short distance away to answer.
He knew that the eight of them were very powerful, and with their hearing, they would be able to hear everything he said from such a short distance.
The voice call connected.
The person on the other end said:
[Hello, Mr. A13167. I am a staff member of the Star Brilliance Competition.]
Yun Yingzhi: “Hello.”
[First, I want to congratulate you. You have passed the preliminaries.]
He wasn’t surprised by this result. “Thank you.”
[The qualifying round starts at 9:00 AM on December 21st. Please arrive at least ten minutes early. We will send an email with the rules soon. You can call if you have questions.]
“Alright.”
[Also, Mr. A13167… the source weapon you manufactured in the preliminaries… does it have a name?]
Yun Yingzhi thought to himself: I just made that one randomly to pull the last bit of wool. He said honestly, “No.”
[Among the weapons in the preliminaries, we found this one to be very special after appraisal. It has been chosen for a live appraisal on the 15th. I heard you have a recommended warrior, right?]
Yun Yingzhi was shocked.
He was shaken.
He had only made a Grade Four weapon, yet it was actually chosen?
Thinking this, his gaze instinctively moved toward Jin Taichu, who was likely a singular Metal-type warrior.
As if feeling his gaze, Jin Taichu looked back.
Their eyes met.
Jin Taichu nodded.
Yun Yingzhiâs cheeks were a bit red. Jin Taichu seemed to be a Grade Eight warrior, and now…
He was thinking of asking an elite Grade Eight warrior to help him test a Grade Four weapon.
The person on the call asked: [Mr. A13167?]
“Ah? Oh, I’m here!”
[You have a recommended warrior, right?]
He replied instinctively: “Yes.”
[Then please contact them. Please arrive at the Source Weapon Association before 9:00 AM on December 15thâthat is, tomorrow morning.]
“…Alright.”
