dy grasped a beam gun in his hand, asking fiercely:What do you want to doThe soldiers who arrived just in time also surrounded Ou Yang and Lian Yi."Nice Major, your NCO betrayed you. He took advantage...The strength of Lian Yi's divine consciousness recovered to the level of a Nascent Soul, which allowed her to regain the feeling of cultivation she had back then. It was just that her physical body was a bit weak. Back in the day, for the sake of becoming stronger, she practiced both swordsmanship and cultivation. The title "Lian Yi Ancestor" wasn't given for nothing; she was the ceiling of combat power in Kunlun Xianzong at that time.

After two days, Ripples adapted to her own spirit strength. Du Zifeng directly took her to his research institute to conduct a thorough re-assessment of Ripples' aptitude.

After the results came out, everyone at the institute was astonished. Meanwhile, Du Zifeng nonchalantly said:

"Only someone with such talent is worthy of being a member of my Du family."

That smug face made the colleagues at the research institute want to punch him.

"Since the previous test had issues, we can issue a new test result with relevant data attached. This will be more authoritative and persuasive, allowing Lian Yi to redeem themselves."

One of Du Zifeng's female colleagues said with a smile.

"That's for sure, but..."

Du Zi Feng said here, his eyes rolled, and he asked Lian Yi who had already gotten up from the testing chair:

"Lian Yi, when do you think it would be most appropriate to submit the report"

“Uncle, I want to wait until after I change my surname and before entering the Empire's First Military Academy to submit the report! After all, I’m going to school, and the chosen major has minimum requirements for mental power and physique. If I want to skip a grade, I definitely need to take an on-site test. Plus, with the institute’s report, it will be more convincing.”

And I want to slap Wu Yishan in the face, and let him see that his so-called "abandoned" son is much stronger than his own supposedly gifted illegitimate child.

Ripple replied calmly.

"Haha! As expected of my Du family's lineage, I like it! I also want to see Wu Yishan's expression when he gets slapped in the face. I'll do as you say!"

Du Zi Feng smiled brightly, his spirits soaring as he spoke.

Those who came to help test the talent pool for Ripple are all old colleagues and friends of Du Zifeng. Such a small request is naturally a piece of cake. Just go through the process one more time before the start of school.

Du Zifeng also took Lian Yi to visit the mecha they were developing. Although they could only see it through the glass, the fifty-meter-tall semi-finished mecha was still novel and impressive to Lian Yi. As a cultivator, this was her first time encountering such a thing.

“This is the fourth-generation mecha we are developing. It is completely controlled by mental power. The minimum requirement for the operator's mental power is S level, and the physical fitness is at least level five. Your mental power meets the requirements, but your physique is a bit lacking.”

"Once we successfully develop it and your physique meets the requirements, I will invite you to participate in the test."

Du Zi Feng smiled, his eyes filled with pride at his accomplishments.

"Can this mech suit shrink"

The ripples begin to ask questions.

"It can be converted into spaceship mode, but it cannot be shrunk. We don't have that technology yet."

Du Zifeng said.

The ripples nodded, indicating they understood.

In the cultivation world, all natal magic weapons can change size at will. Just like her natal sword, Lei Yao, it has appeared before her in different forms after going through several previous planes of existence.

"Rest assured, since I know you can control the mecha with your psychic powers, Uncle will first prepare a junior mecha for you. Familiarize yourself with it first and make up for what you missed before."

Du Zi Feng patted Lian Yi's shoulder and said.

"Okay."

In the afternoon, Du Zifeng returned Liàn Yī to General Du's residence and explained the situation to the two elders.

"That's great! It seems like Lian Yi's potential has been fully unleashed this time."

General Du smiled and said.

"That's good, and then no one will bully Lian Yi in the future."

The old lady cared more about this.

"Grandfather, grandmother, I want to change my surname as soon as possible. Do you see any opportunities"

Liàn Yī said straightforwardly.

"Father, mother, Lian Yi at the time prevented us from issuing the test report because they didn't want Wu Yishan to pick up an easy win."

At first, it was he who gave up on joining the prestigious university, insisting on taking in that illegitimate child. If he had known that the university candidate's talent was better than that of the illegitimate child, he would have definitely found a way to bring him back.

Although you are Lianyi's guardian now, he is still his biological father, and he is underage. If he applies to the joint court, it is very likely that Lianyi will be taken away by him.

He's had his surname changed, fully integrated into our Du family. Even if he wants to change his mind later, there's no way out unless Lian Yi proactively asks to go back.

After Du Zifeng finished speaking, he also glanced at Lian Yi.

"Rest assured, little uncle. I will never return to Wu's family for the rest of my life. That home where I had my mother has been completely destroyed by me. Even if he builds an identical General's Mansion, it will no longer be my birthplace."

Ripple said seriously.

Du Zi Feng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately reacted. His brows furrowed as he asked:

"General Wu's residence was attacked by a beam cannon, wasn't it you"

"It was me, and only me. My abilities were limited, so in the end, I had to trouble Grandfather to help me clean up the mess."

Her answer was very straightforward.

Father and mother, how could you keep such a big thing from us

The military thinks that hostile aliens tampered with the Blue Planet's defense system. They investigated for a long time, spending a lot of manpower and resources, but they didn't find anything. They even borrowed our institute's senior engineers to re-set up a new defense system, which has kept me from going home for a year.

"I'm sorry, it was Lian Yi's mistake. I didn't expect it to implicate my uncle."

The ripples admitted their mistake crisply and decisively.

General Du let out a light cough, and the old lady sighed and said:

"Lian Yi did this also for his mother, to speak up for her injustice. He didn't want to let that mother and son get away with it, so he came up with this plan."

After I looked into it, I found a lot of problems. It's pitiful that your sister always reports good news but not bad news. Wu Yishan isn't as straightforward as he seems on the surface.

Du Zi Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in them, and then he said:

"Who else knows about this"

"Just the four of us, we wouldn't have told you about it today if Lian Yi hadn't brought it up. It's not a big deal."

General Du said faintly.

Du Zifeng nodded and didn't get angry. Naturally, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

“Lian yi, Xiao jiu is liking you more and more now!”

Du Zifeng smiled and said.

Thank you for your liking, uncle.

The ripples clearly showed that Du Zifeng's recognition of him had reached a new height.

Then General Du steered the conversation back on track:

"Zi Feng did have a reason. Half a year later, it would be time for the first Military Academy to recruit students. Every year, we had a quota for recommendations. Before this, neither you nor your brother had a recruitment quota, but you used up the recommendation quota."

Wu Yishan also has one, but our recommendation quota can only be used for our own direct relatives. Although Wu Lianbo has been taken back, it's a pity that he is still not officially recognized. This recommendation quota can only belong to Lianyi. If Lianyi doesn't use it, then it will go to his illegitimate son."d to resist it. She didn't have a shred of extra energy left, and in the end, her sorcerer token was forcibly taken back."Wu Lianyi! I will never share the sky with you!!"Yu Bi Yao's shrill scream ech...
