Chapter 657: A sudden invitation



After staying a bit longer, it was time for them to leave.

Weiss looked like he was sad about this, but he knew that this wasn't something that could be stopped.

Humans had their lives and he wasn't able to keep them, even if Xiao Bai was his first grandson.

In the end, he surprised both Lin Fan and Rokuko by showing just how much of a doting grandparent he could be.

The things that he gave Xiao Bai as toys...not a single one of them was normal.

And to congratulate Lin Fan and Rokuko on becoming parents, he also gave them quite a few things.

The most shocking things he gave was a skill for Rokuko and a book for Lin Fan.

The skill was called A Mother's Love.

It was a very strange sounding skill, but it was actually a very powerful one.

It was a skill that utilized power from the god of magic himself to protect the user, but there was a condition to using it. It could only be used when mother and son were together, just like the name suggested.

Only when Rokuko was with Xiao Bai would this skill take effect and protect the two of them.

But when it was activated, it could be said that there was nothing in this world that would be able to hurt them. After all, this was a skill that drew on the power of the god of magic himself, so it was impossible for mortals to break the protection that came from this skill.

It could be seen just how much Weiss cared about these two.

Lin Fan was certain that this would cause a stir if the other dungeon cores were to learn about this, but it was a good thing that they were all on a different continent. At the same time, it didn't seem like they knew about this for how, which gave them time to prepare.

After all, it would only be a matter of time before they found out about this.

Especially with how Weiss was acting.

The second thing that shocked Lin Fan was the item that Weiss gave him.

It was a book, but it wasn't just a simple book.

This was a book that contained spells that were placed inside by the god of magic himself. As long as this book was used, it would be like the god of magic was casting the spells himself.

In short, this book was a divine artifact that had the powers of the god of magic.

Weiss gave this item to Lin Fan so he could protect himself, but Lin Fan was thinking of the other use that this book had.

His system could absorb divine power to upgrade itself...so if he were to give this book to his system...

It was just like with the immortal fragment and with Aphrodite's power.

The only problem was...Weiss would certainly figure out that he had stolen this fragment of his divine power right away. After all, this was a book that was given to him that no one else had, so he would figure it out right away if that book lost its divine power.

The immortal fragment didn't have an owner and the system had drained so little of Aphrodite's power that she didn't notice it at all.

That was the main difference.

So Lin Fan was struggling on whether to give this book to the system or not, but he restrained himself in the end.

It was the dungeon core.

The girls all looked at the little boy with strange looks before looking at Rokuko.

They knew about Rokuko, so they knew that it was possible for dungeon cores to transform. However, they never thought that this dungeon core that Lin Fan suddenly brought back would suddenly transform as well.

It really caught them off guard seeing him like this.

But...their hearts couldn't help melting when they saw how cute Xiao Bai was.

He had transformed into a cute little boy with chubby cheeks and black hair.

He was actually just like a younger version of Lin Fan, but he wasn't completely like Lin Fan. There were parts of him that were like Rokuko, like his eyes and such.

He really did look like a child that came from the two of them which made them feel sad.

However, they only allowed themselves to feel this way for a few seconds before trying to convince Xiao Bai to accept them as his mothers again.

It was just too bad that the same thing as before happened where they weren't able to get closer to him and just scared him.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Just do your best."

They could only nod in agreement when they heard this.

...

A week later.

"Sect master, there's a message for you!"

Lin Fan had just come to the Love Sect to train with the elders when one of these elders suddenly came over shouting.

Lin Fan and the other elders he was with all turned to look at this elder that ran over with confused looks.

When the elder came over, he stopped in front of them and was panting as he tried to catch his breath.

After catching his breath, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket that he handed to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took it with one brow raised before looking at what was written on this piece of paper.

As he read it, he couldn't help knitting his brows and those brows knit even more as he read further down. When he was finished, he looked up at the elder who came running over and asked, "When did we receive this?"

The elder was surprised to hear this before saying with an awkward look on his face, "Two...two days ago. It got mixed up with some other things, so no one noticed it until now."

Lin Fan knitted his brows even more after hearing this, but he knew that there was no point in getting angry with the elder.

The other elders still had confused looks on their faces when they saw this, so Lin Fan just gave this Senior Brother Ying for him to explain things to everyone else.

Senior Brother Ying quickly read the note out loud with everyone.

"The Martial Might Sect wishes to invite the disciples of the Love Sect to come and participate in our tournament. We have gathered various sects from afar to test their might and we wish to compare notes with the Love Sect. The top finishers of this tournament will have a chance to enter the secret realm of our Martial Might Sect."

After the elders heard this, they also deeply knitted their brows.
