Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

Outside the cave, Ruo Hao hesitated for a moment before continuing his telepathic communication with Mu Chen.

"Young man, to be honest, Ruo Lin is not my biological granddaughter. She is a child I found."

"Found her?"

"Yes. It was a stormy night. I was training in a forest when suddenly a large rift appeared in the sky. A person holding a child rushed out from it. By the time I got close, the adult had already died, but the baby in their arms was still alive. That baby was Ruo Lin. At the time, the clothes she was wrapped in had a small handkerchief with the character 'Lin' on it, so I named her Ruo Lin."

"Did you ever investigate her true identity?"

"Of course I did. I searched all over the Dou Qi Continent and even made a special trip to the Central Plains for this purpose. But no family had a child with such a mark on their chest."

Listening to Elder Ruo Hao's words, Mu Chen's gaze once again fell on Ruo Lin's body. Due to refining the Strange Fire, all of Ruo Lin's clothes had been burned away. At the entrance of Ruo Lin's valley, there was indeed a peculiar mark. It was a pattern resembling seaweed.

At this moment, the mark began to glow, spreading across Ruo Lin's entire body. The originally blood-red keratin layer on her skin now had a faint blue light flowing through it. All the light eventually converged at Ruo Lin's brow, reforming the seaweed-like mark.

"Clan Mark?" Mu Chen murmured.

Mu Chen was no ordinary person; he knew that the members of the Eight Great Clans of the Central Plains could awaken mysterious Clan Marks. These marks were symbols of power and also revealed their identities.

However, none of the Eight Great Clans had a mark shaped like seaweed.

After the seaweed mark appeared, the bloodline fluctuations emanating from Ruo Lin's body grew stronger and stronger. The wounds caused by the Strange Fire on Ruo Lin's body were healing at a terrifying rate. Her hair had also turned a deep blue, like the ocean.

"Husband, I feel like Instructor has become a different person," Xiao Yu remarked.

"That's because her innate talent has been fully unleashed," Mu Chen replied.

"Young man, I hope you can keep Ruo Lin's origins a secret. She is still a child. I don't want her to feel like she's alone."

"I will, Elder."

Mu Chen continued to use telepathic communication to respond to Ruo Lin's grandfather, Ruo Hao, outside the cave.

Inside the cave, a mature woman sat cross-legged, completely naked. Her slightly closed eyes trembled before slowly opening.

Her originally pitch-black eyes had now turned a captivating light blue due to the ancient power within her bloodline being awakened. Deep within those light blue eyes, a dark blue flame could be seen flickering. The flame didn't last long, giving Ruo Lin an eerie aura.

"I... succeeded?"

Ruo Lin's body had been reshaped, and her voice was hoarse. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"Congratulations, Ruo Lin. You have become the master of the Strange Fire, Sea Heart Flame," Mu Chen congratulated her.

"Congratulations, Instructor Ruo Lin," Xiao Yu also offered her congratulations.

"Thank you," Ruo Lin's voice carried a magical quality, her gentle tone seemingly capable of softening everything in the world.

Whoosh

The disappearance of the Strange Fire caused the temperature inside the cave to plummet abruptly. A mountain breeze blew into the cave, tousling Ruo Lin's hair, with a few strands flying onto her forehead.

"Huh?"

Ruo Lin's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she gracefully swept her hair from behind to the front with her jade-like hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Why has my hair turned blue?"

"Ahem."

Mu Chen coughed lightly, teasing, "Ruo Lin, before you get too surprised or excited, could you please put your clothes on first?"

"Clothes?"

Ruo Lin looked down, her eyes widening in shock. Being a grown woman, she managed to keep her composure. She covered her chest with her hands, blushing as she said, "Are you still looking?"

"What's the big deal? Wasn't the time I spent looking just now short enough?" Mu Chen teased with a mischievous grin.

"Mu Chen," Ruo Lin chided.

"Actually, Ruo Lin, I personally think that whether it's a man or a woman, the lower body is far more important than the upper body," Mu Chen seized the opportunity to tease Ruo Lin further, reminding her with a sly smile.

Man?

Woman?

Ruo Lin was momentarily stunned before she grasped the deeper meaning behind Mu Chen's words. She instinctively shifted her hands to a different position, then suddenly realized it was inappropriate and quickly moved one hand back to guard her territory.

"Ha ha ha," Mu Chen couldn't hold back his laughter, chuckling mischievously.

"Mu Chen!" Ruo Lin's brows furrowed, her eyes filled with reproach. Her expression, combined with her embarrassed state, was incredibly striking.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave," Mu Chen said as he actually started walking, tactfully exiting the cave.

Ruo Lin looked at Xiao Yu, recalling the earlier scene, her face completely red, her ears burning. Ruo Lin swore that if she had known such a situation would arise, she would never have refined the Strange Fire, the Sea Heart Flame.

"Um... Mentor, I'll wait for you outside," Xiao Yu said with an awkward smile, quickly following Mu Chen's footsteps.

Once Mu Chen and Xiao Yu were outside the cave, they didn't have to wait long before Ruo Lin emerged. Naturally, her grandfather Ruo Hao, Zi Yan, and Xue Ni congratulated her.

"Xue Ni, Strange Fires are limited. Only when you find one that suits you can you truly make the most of its power and unleash its full potential. Your Dou Qi attribute is fire, so these items, along with the golden pearl I gave you earlier, should be enough to help you reach the Dou Sheng level," Mu Chen flicked his finger, sending a Storage Ring flying to Xue Ni, Xiao Yu's close friend.

Inside the Storage Ring was nothing but the Fire Spirit Pearl Mu Chen had obtained from slaying the Flame Lizardmen in the underground magma. Mu Chen had previously gifted Xue Ni a golden pearl obtained from refining the remains of Donghuang Taiyi in the White Snake: Origin world. He had also helped Xue Ni unblock her meridians. Now, with these Fire Spirit Pearls, even if Xue Ni was a talentless individual, she could be propelled to the level of a Dou Sheng.

"Thank you."

Xue Ni happily stored the Storage Ring, murmuring, "You've been so good to me, I don't know how to thank you enough."

"Simple, give me a kiss," Mu Chen said with a mischievous grin, pointing to his cheek, teasing Xue Ni, Xiao Yu's best friend.

Mwah

Mu Chen was stunned. Before he could react, Xue Ni actually planted a kiss on his cheek.

Mu Chen touched the kissed spot on his face, staring blankly at Xue Ni. Wasn't this... wasn't this supposed to be a joke? Did Xue Ni take it seriously?
