Finally, it was time to refresh the [Wallflower] trait.
[Ding! [Wallflower] trait has been refreshed.]
[Honesty Breeds Friendship (Purple)]: When you treat others with honesty, they will return it in kind.
[X-Ray Vision (Purple)]: You can see through all things—be it a beauty's garments or solid metal.
[Wandering Beyond the Heavens (Purple)]: Your soul can leave your body to roam the heavens, traversing great distances instantly. However, you cannot attack or be attacked in this form.
Honesty Breeds Friendship?
That made it to purple-tier?
Even Dugu Bo's [Keeps Promises] was only white-tier!
System, is this your idea of testing character?
Though, I can't say it's off the mark.
Now this one—Wandering Beyond the Heavens…
Astral projection, infinite roaming, instant movement…
That sounds even better!
"System, replace [Wallflower] with [Wandering Beyond the Heavens.]"
[Ding! Trait [Wallflower] has been updated to [Wandering Beyond the Heavens.]]
Way better than X-ray vision! This can pass through walls too.
After choosing, Lin Feng quietly closed his eyes.
A faint, translucent spirit drifted upward from his body and floated out of the tent.
Beside him, Dugu Yan lay sprawled inside her tent, lips softly smacking in her sleep.
Not far ahead were his father, Lin Ye, and his grandfather, Dugu Bo, keeping watch.
Lin Feng maneuvered his spiritual form closer.
"Clan Head Lin, how's the situation at the border lately?"
"Thanks for your concern, senior. The border has been stable recently."
"The Star Luo Empire is quiet for now, which gives me more time to be with Feng'er."
The two were engrossed in conversation, yet neither of them noticed Lin Feng's spiritual form.
He couldn't help but marvel.
Even a Titled Douluo with immense spiritual power can't detect my spirit form? This trait's stealth is insane.
With a thought, Lin Feng drifted toward the forest's outer edge. The scenery beneath flew by in reverse.
In mere moments, his spirit had traveled over a thousand miles.
When he finally paused, Sunset Forest had long vanished from view.
Lin Feng was thrilled.
This speed… it's like riding the wind as described in the ancient scrolls!
Following his earlier plans, Lin Feng flew onward for a few seconds.
Ahead was a quiet village. At the entrance, three graceful characters were carved into a massive boulder:
That's right—Tang San's home.
A cobblestone path wound through the center, lined with wildflowers and bordered by the gentle murmur of a nearby stream.
It was early morning. Wisps of smoke rose from a few homesteads, painting a scene of peaceful rural life.
Lin Feng soon spotted the village's only blacksmith shop.
There, slumped in a chair with a bottle of unfinished spirits dangling from his hand, was a rugged middle-aged man.
Lin Feng looked closer. Beneath the messy stubble were the marks of hardship and time.
He looked like a man who'd suffered greatly.
Back on his previous world, Lin Feng had felt sorry for Tang Hao. But now wasn't the time for sentiment.
"System, Trait Insight."
[Innate Soul Power: Rank 10]
[Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer (Top-tier)]
[Soul Power: Rank 94]
[Strict Father (White)]
[I Love Ring Detonation (Green)]
[Master Blacksmith (Purple)]
[Outstanding Talent (Purple)]
[Father of Destiny (Gold)]
I knew it. Tang Hao has at least one gold-tier trait.
"System, copy trait [Father of Destiny]."
Lin Feng decided to save it and consider replacing something else once he acquired a new soul ring.
Looking again at Tang Hao, Lin Feng decided to go a step further—refresh all his traits.
Tang San's growth in the future owed everything to Tang Hao.
Tang San had always believed his father was a drunk.
But growing up under traditional values, he still respected and took care of Tang Hao diligently.
That alone said something about Tang San's inner code.
Later, he would repeatedly showcase this "principled" self to others.
What he didn't know was how deeply Tang Hao loved him.
Tang Hao not only revealed his identity to Yu Xiaogang to ensure Tang San was well cared for, but also risked everything to rescue him from Spirit Hall and send him to the Slaughter City.
He had paved the entire path for him.
Without Tang Hao, would the so-called "Child of Destiny" still shine as brightly?
"System, refresh all of Tang Hao's traits."
With a wave, Lin Feng first checked the new replacement for [Strict Father]:
[Selfish (White)]: You care only for your own interests.
[Saintly Heart (White)]: You are compassionate and maternal to all.
[Apathetic (White)]: You are indifferent to others and ignore anything that doesn't concern you.
Lin Feng's gaze turned sharp and cold as he instantly chose [Apathetic].
Tang San, now your father truly will be indifferent toward you.
You keep playing your filial act—it'll be all on you from here.
Next was [I Love Ring Detonation], Tang Hao's signature battle method.
After some thought, Lin Feng replaced it with:
[Drunken God (Green)]: You love drinking. You are perpetually intoxicated.
Previously, Tang Hao drank to drown his guilt over Ah Yin, not out of actual desire.
But now, this new trait made him a genuine alcoholic—nothing more, nothing less.
Lin Feng left [Master Blacksmith] and [Outstanding Talent] untouched.
The other refreshed traits weren't soul-power related, so he had nothing better to swap them with.
Finally, he turned to the golden-tier replacement for [Father of Destiny]:
[Sharingan (Gold)]: Your eyes reflect the soul. After experiencing enough pain, they evolve.
[Hammer God's High Priest (Gold)]: You are the Clear Sky Hammer's divine representative, equal in status to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi. You are qualified to initiate the Hammer God's Trials and may sacrifice yourself to unlock the ninth trial.
[Soul Bone Jackpot (Gold)]: When you kill soul beasts, you have a high chance to obtain soul bones. Killing any beast over 50,000 years guarantees one.
Lin Feng was stunned.
There was no way he could let Tang Hao have that.
With Tang Hao's level of suffering, he could probably awaken the Mangekyō in a heartbeat.
Hammer God's High Priest…
Tang Hao might no longer be the "strict father," but Lin Feng had a gut feeling this would still end up empowering Tang San.
Now—Soul Bone Jackpot!!
Lin Feng's eyes gleamed.
"Ugh, if I'd known this was coming, I wouldn't have copied [Father of Destiny]…"
He sighed in frustration, staring longingly at the golden-tier traits.
Why could he only copy one trait per person?
