Chapter 4 : Of Course I"m A Genius!"Che"er, are you okay ? Does your body hurts ?" Xiao Lie Sitting right beside Takagi who still laying in the bed.
"I"m fine grandpa, you don"t need to worry too much I"m your grandson so naturally I am a strong person like you grandpa" Takagi tried to console his caring grandfather that have a clearly super worried face.
Takagi answer brought a smile to his granfather who really worried about him. "that"s good, you really are my grandson. Hahaha" said Xiao Lie who laughed happily because of his lovely grandson.
"but for now, you need to take some medicine to help you recovered faster okay?" said Xiao Lie to Takagi while smiling.
"eeehhhh!!! Nooooo, I don"t want to take any medicine!!" Takagi try to acted as a 1 year old kid who hate medicine.
Xiao Lie laughed again seeing his grandson didn"t want to take the medicine. But he wasn"t going to compromise even a little bit about this as this is concerning his grandson future.
"No, you have to take the medicine. If you don"t take the medicine you are going to become a crippled person" Xiao Lie tried to use the method of scaring his little grandson to convince him take the medicine. But Xiao Lie"s heart ached a little bit as the word that he said was actually the truth.
"I don"t want to be a crippled person, but I, I also don"t wanna drink medicine" Takagi tried to bargain with his grandfather in hoping his grandfather tried to use some reward to convince him.
"alright then how about this, grandpa will give Che"er a present if Che"er willing to become obedient to grandpa and always behave good and take the medicine." Xiao Lie finally use the carrot in his stick and carrot method to convince Takagi.
"really? Can I choose whatever I want for the present?" Takagi who snickered inside his mind while on the surface he acted as a kid who have a shining eyes and excited face.
"yes of course, but Che"er have to promise grandpa first to become a good child and take the medicine." Said Xiao Lie who have a smiling face because he can convince Takagi to take the medicine and also make him behave good..
"okay, I promise." Takagi answered without hesitant.
"good, now drink this medicine and go to sleep so Che"er will recovered faster." Xiao Lie feed the medicine to his grandson carefully.
Every day Takagi always drink the medicine because he knew that this medicine is going to help him recover his damaged Profound Veins. Once a week, Xiao Lie bring Takagi to meet Doctor Situ for an acupunture treatment. For the first time Takagi actually feel a little afraid thinking that a needle going to pierce his body. But that only for the first time as the pain is only his imagination and after a few times he got used to it.
Just like that, Takagi live his life peacefully. After three years pa.s.s by, he finally recovered and his profound veins is damaged no more. Takagi now has changed the story of the original book, from a protagonist who crippled in early story, to a normal protagonist who did not crippled.
He hoped that he didn"t changed the future too much, and lose his advantage of knowing the future event. But Takagi at least won"t do anything half-heartedly and will give his all and prevent any accident from happening to his grandfather and his little aunt.
Takagi has already become a 4 years old kid, and his little aunt Xiao Lingxi has become 3 years old. She always cling to Takagi because Takagi is like a big brother to her as he always there for her everytime.
As for the present that Xiao Lie promised to him, Takagi asked for a flying profound beast as a pet and that make Xiao Lie have a headache as Takagi keep pestering Xiao Lie about it and didn"t want anything else.
Xiao Lie finally give in and said that he will give takagi a flying profound beast as a pet. But even after half a year, Xiao Lie still can"t found suitable flying profound beast for his grandson even with the help of Xia Hongyi as he was a merchant.
And when Takagi almost have his second birthday, only then his grandfather found a suitable flying profound beast for his grandson as his second birthday present. The profound Beast that Takagi got as the present is a still recently hatched young Iron winged white eagle.
Iron winged white eagle have a body full of white feather from it"s head till it"s tail. But his wing is shockingly deep black color just like a black iron. This eagle"s feather on his wing is as strong as iron and have a high defense, on the other hand it"s white feather is really smooth and fluffy but unfortunately have a low defense.
This eagle have a high manueverability and high flying endurance, the weakness is that it"s top speed only mediocre. When reaching maturity, this eagle can reach True Profound Realm middle stage. It"s suitable for a contracted flying beast as this eagle have a tame nature.
Takagi was genuinely happy when he got his flying profound beast pet as this pet gonna help him a lot in his big plan. So he really taking good care of his little flying pet and named his pet Little White.
In his three years of recovery, Takagi is not just playing around, he spent his time everyday taking care of his pet and little aunt, and spent time with his grandfather but mostly he spent his time studying the books in his clan"s library as there is not too much freedom when he only still a little kid. In three years, he almost read everything in the library. When he turned 5 years old, he already read everything he can in the clan"s library.
"now my age is 5, I guess it"s fine to start doing some training in profound arts and doing some physical training." Takagi thought to himself as he started thinking about his training plan.
"for the profound arts I guess I can have grandpa to teach me for the time being, but for the physical training, I think I"m gonna wear weights on my wrist, body and feet like what Goku do with his weightened clothes." Takagi then went to his grandfather courtyard and directly go to Xiao Lie"s room.
"grandpa teach me how to cultivate profound arts please?" asked Takagi while running to his grandpa and give him a hug... or a tackle?
"ohoho, looks like my little Che"er wanted to start cultivating huh" Xiao Lie who laughed happily seeing his grandson.
"yeah, I wanna become stronger and then protect you and little aunt." Said Takagi innocently to his grandfather.
"but before you start to cultivating profound art, I need to check you up first whether you can safely start training or not yet. But it"s not just about that, as Profound Arts Pract.i.tioner, a persevering will is a must, I will not gonna let you to start training only for whining on the next day." Said Xiao Lie to his grandson. Xiao Lie definitely isn"t just some mediocre person and doing something half-heartedly. As the proof, how can his son, Xiao Ying can be regarded as the top genius in Floating Cloud City if not for Xiao Lie"s effort in teaching and guiding his son.
"okay, I will have a persevering will and never ever whining even for once, so can grandpa teach me?" asked Takagi to his grandpa.
"Yes, I can teach you, but I will be strict with you so be prepared." Xiao Lie is a compa.s.sionate person, but he knew that in this world where they live is a strong eating the weak, so he will be as strict as he can so that his beloved grandson will not be a weak person.
In the original story of the book, Xiao Lie become a really spoiling grandfather to Xiao Che because of his grandson crippled Profound Veins and it is literally impossible to cultivate. But now is different, his grandson is a really diligent and energetic child, he knew about his grandson habit going to the clan"s library to read. If only he knew the extent how much the book Takagi read, he will definitely shocked silly. But at least he know that his grandson is a very smart and clever child.
Takagi go back to his place doing his usual daily activites and rest.
In the next day, Takagi finally started his training with his grandfather as his grandfather explain everything regarding profound energy, profound arts, and everything.
"okay, first Grandpa will check your profound entrances and see how many is your originally opened profound entrances" said Xiao Lie as he instruct Takagi to sit cross legged. Xiao Lie then place his hand on Takagi"s back and poured profound energy to check how many Takagi profound entrances that naturally opened.
He counted one by one the profound entrances that has already opened. One, two, three, four... six... ten... thirteen... fifteen, sixteen. Sixteen opened profound entrances!
"there"s actually 16 profound entrances that already opened." Xiao Lie got shocked when he knew that his grandson really is a genius.
For ordinary person usually there is only 5 to 8 profound entrance that originally opened, but his grandson actually have 16 original opened profound entrances, that means his grandson cultivation speed will be around 2-3 times more quick than ordinary person.
What does that means ? It"s a genius! If an ordinary person start from elementary level and breakthrough to nascent profound level in a 6 years then from nascent to true profound level in 9 years, then his grandson can do it from elementary to nascent in 2 years and then from nascent to true profound level only in 3 years! What does this means if not a genius.
Xiao Lie delighted knowing this and determined to train his grandson to become an amazing person in his Xiao Clan history!
