"Pengcheng, this is your dad," Zhong Ping pointed to Wang Xiaoqiang in the high-level VIP ward and said to her son. "If it wasn't for your dad, I'm afraid you wouldn't have survived this ordeal..."

Wang Pengcheng's face trembled upon hearing this.

Wang Xiaoqiang waved and said, "Alright, Ping, what ordeal or not? Don't bring this up to the kid."

Wang Pengcheng shifted his gaze to Wang Xiaoqiang upon hearing this, looking surprised.

Wang Pengcheng resembled Zhong Ping more, but he did bear some resemblance to his father Wang Xiaoqiang, which was obvious to him. Moreover, father and son share a bond, and he could sense this, but the young man in front of him left him baffled.

Wang Xiaoqiang was too young!

The key point was, the age gap between his parents was too big.

Zhong Ping's age was apparent, although she maintained herself well, looking just over forty. Wang Xiaoqiang appeared just over twenty, the age disparity was too great. In reality, Zhong Ping was indeed more than ten years older than Wang Xiaoqiang.

Although his mother had mentioned this before, saying his father was more than ten years younger than her, Wang Pengcheng still found it hard to believe that his father could be so young. He felt there was a lack of paternal dignity.

Wang Xiaobao felt similarly. When Little Bao first met Wang Xiaoqiang, he too felt he was too young, lacking some of the dignity. Fortunately, Xia Guifang was still young, so they appeared like a couple. But now, Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhong Ping completely didn't resemble a couple. If Zhong Ping hadn't said it herself, Wang Pengcheng would have thought it was a joke.

"Dad..." Wang Pengcheng said awkwardly but still called him.

Wang Xiaoqiang patted his head with a gentle smile, "Are you feeling unwell at all?"

"I feel completely fine." Wang Pengcheng said, "But..."

Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "But what?"

"I feel there is something moving inside me." Wang Pengcheng said nervously, "Is it because the doctors are doing some treatment?"

Zhong Ping was taken aback, and then panicked. She was about to call for the doctor when Wang Xiaoqiang intervened, "No need, I'll explain this to Pengcheng."

Zhong Ping was puzzled.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Ping, please step out; I need to talk to our son alone about this..."

Zhong Ping wasn't an ordinary woman. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang say this, she knew he had something very important to discuss that was only between the father and son. She did not ask anything and immediately left the ward.

Once Zhong Ping left the ward, Wang Xiaoqiang turned to his son, smiling, "Pengcheng, do you think Dad is very young?"

Wang Pengcheng awkwardly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes quite young."

Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "Pengcheng, do you feel like you're more mature than your peers?"

Wang Pengcheng replied, "It's like this, Dad, I grew taller quickly. I'm Chinese, I thought I couldn't grow taller than my peers in the United States, but it turns out the opposite, I grew taller than them..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Hmm, have you ever thought about why?"

"I don't know either, before I thought I inherited your good genes, I thought you would also be tall," Wang Pengcheng said, "I didn't expect, Dad, you're just of average height..."

"Hmm," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Pengcheng, you're right, it has nothing to do with genetics. Besides, Pengcheng, you really have a great fate this time, even the doctors said so. What do you think about this?"

"Maybe I really have a great fate..." Wang Pengcheng smiled.

"Wrong." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Your height, your mindset, being more mature than your peers, and why your fate is great? None of this is accidental. Let me tell you now..."

Wang Pengcheng was startled by what he heard; his mind was as mature as an adult's. He immediately became serious, expecting and excited, feeling that his father had an important secret to tell him, one that even his mother wasn't aware of.

"Because of the thing inside you." Wang Xiaoqiang pointed at Wang Pengcheng's abdomen.

Wang Pengcheng sensed it, feeling the "unknown object" inside, just at the location his father was pointing at.

"Thing, what thing?" Wang Pengcheng said, somewhat shocked.

"That's the Five Elements Spirit Spring."

"Five, Elements, Spirit, Spring... what is that?"

"The Five Elements Spirit Spring can be big or small, come and go freely, can derive Five Element Spiritual Energy, nurture all things..." Wang Xiaoqiang began explaining the wonders and origins of the Five Elements Spirit Spring to his son...

When Wang Xiaoqiang finished explaining, Wang Pengcheng was stunned; it felt like hearing a fantastical tale, somewhat like the plot in "Demon Ring".

"Dad, do you mean to say, if it weren't for this 'Five Elements Spirit Spring', I wouldn't be so tall at this age, and without it, I wouldn't have survived this ordeal?"

"You could say that, but it's not entirely like that," Wang Xiaoqiang said, "But your mom was right; if Dad hadn't rushed back in time, you might not be lying here but in the mortuary..."

Wang Pengcheng's lingering doubts began to dissipate. He said nervously and excitedly, "Dad, this means you're not an ordinary person."

"Correct, Dad is not an ordinary person, but a superpowered individual. Moreover, now I'm an Immortal..." Wang Xiaoqiang concluded, then added, "As for you, thanks to the Five Elements Spirit Spring, you're also a superpowered individual now, hehe..."

"Really? Will I be able to become a superhero like Spider-Man? Also, will I have strength like The Hulk?" Wang Pengcheng said with surprise and anticipation.

"Yes, with your continued effort, you can become even more powerful than these fictional characters. But Pengcheng, in life, one must be humble; in being a hero, even more so; otherwise, you'll be treated like The Hulk, unwelcomed by humankind, understand?"

Wang Pengcheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Dad, I understand."

"Not only understand but keep it in mind, never reveal this to anyone; heaven knows, earth knows, you and I know, not even your mom can know..." Wang Xiaoqiang instructed solemnly.

"Dad, don't worry, I understand this, and I will remember. Humility is key." Wang Pengcheng also said seriously.

"Good, once you leave the hospital, I will teach you a Method of Cultivation, then you can practice daily, and eventually become a cultivator. By then, forget Spider-Man or The Hulk, even the Transforming Metal Steel won't be your match anymore, haha..."

"Really? That's too amazing, Dad, I'm a bit skeptical..." Wang Pengcheng said with joy and excitement.

Wang Xiaoqiang clenched his fist and punched Wang Pengcheng's stomach.

Wang Pengcheng's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. He instinctively raised his hands to defend but too late, Wang Xiaoqiang's fist slammed heavily into his abdomen,

Bam, a white light flashed, the Aura of Geng Metal exploded, rebounding Wang Xiaoqiang's heavy punch.

Normally, this punch would severely injure him, but Wang Pengcheng felt no pain. Reflecting on it, he suddenly realized the "Five Elements Spirit Spring" within him had swiftly moved to his abdomen, deflecting his father's heavy punch.

"Now, do you believe?" Wang Xiaoqiang smiled at his son.

"Believed, believed... It's incredible, incredible..." Wang Pengcheng murmured, a burst of joy on his face.

To let his son absorb the joy and excitement, Wang Xiaoqiang patted his shoulder, "Alright, Pengcheng, rest for a bit. I need to go talk with your mom about something..."

"Okay," Wang Pengcheng closed his eyes, taking deep breaths, both calming his excited heartbeat and sensing the Five Elements Spirit Spring within him.

Wang Xiaoqiang left the ward, seeing Zhong Ping, Qili, True Person of Taiyi, Zhao Feiyan outside, his expression turned solemn, with a hint of Evil Qi. He gave Zhong Ping and Qili a look and asked, "Do you know who did this?"

Thinking about someone daring to take his son's life, Wang Xiaoqiang's fury was hard to contain, turning into Raging Waves, condensing into the Sword of Furious Fiend, one, two... a total of ten, so far he has condensed eighteen Swords of Furious Fiend, but still short of forming a true "Raging Waves Swordfall".
