“Man, did I fall unconscious once again?” Brian rubbed his head as he slowly got up from the couch.
“Oh, you are awake. The dinner is ready. Please, join us!” At the same time, Chu Meng walked out of the kitchen and spoke.
“Thank you!” Brian entered the kitchen. Unlike the previous room, this kitchen seemed quite nice and spacious. There was a dining table and cooking area.
Chu Ling and Chu Lan were already sitting on the chairs.
“Big Brother, sit next to me!” Chu Ling raised her hand and shouted.
Brian nodded and walked next to her chair. Chu Meng served food on the plates and she also sat down for the dinner.
Before eating, Brian bowed to them and said “Thank you for the food!”
“Don’t worry, it’s not like we have guests every day. So, how is your condition?” Chu Lan asked.
“There is a slight problem.” Brian took a deep breath and spoke.
Hearing his words, Chu couple looked at each other with surprise and then looked at him.
“What’s the problem?”
Brian hesitated for a moment.
“Don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us!” Chu Lan shouted.
“As long as it is not a personal issue, you don’t have to hide us. In fact, we might be able to help you.” Chu Meng calmly spoke. Unlike her husband, she was trying to make him feel better before he ask anything.
Brian took a deep breath and said.
“My memories! They are gone but I still have some.”
“What do you exactly mean?” Chu Lan looked at him with confusion.
“Alright! Let’s finish the dinner first and then we will talk.” Suddenly, Chu Meng slapped her husband’s arm and spoke.
Everyone nodded and quickly start eating. Holding the chopstick to eat food was quite difficult but it’s not like Brian hadn’t used it before. His movement might be sloppy but he did finish the food.
After that, they washed the dishes, and finally, Chu Meng took her daughter to bed. After ten minutes, she came to the living room where Brian and Chu Lan were sitting on the couch.
They sat in front of each other and Chu Lan asked.
“So, what do you mean by that?”
“I do have the memories but the problem is that these memories seem to be incomplete. Before we talked about Martial Soul, right? But I don’t remember what Martial Soul exactly is.”
“Nor do I remember the name of this land. Of course, that may be because I don’t know where I am. So, I would be very grateful if you can teach me some basic knowledge of this land.”
Brian bowed in front of them in order to show his sincerity but deep down, he was feeling guilty for lying to them.
In this world, he couldn’t access Lily or GMD. He was on his own.
“Hmm! That’s good.” Chu Lan heavily sighed a breath of relief.
His reaction made Brian confused.
Seeing his confusion, Chu Meng quickly explained.
“Don’t get my husband in a wrong way. Normally, whenever a person enters Spatial Portal, he will suffer some kind of damage if his cultivation isn’t enough. For you being able to survive means one of two things.”
“Either you were extremely lucky and somehow manage to reach here without harming your body but ended up half amnesia. Or, you had a certain level of cultivation and because of certain circumstances, you entered the spatial portal.”
“Due to the damage from the spatial portal, you lost your cultivation and also suffer considerable damage in your brain. You only remembered the mist. Maybe you were fighting someone and to escape the battle, you forcefully entered the portal.”
“It also aligns with something you said earlier. You said you don’t even know whether you have it or not. I am talking about Martial Soul. All of these means you were severely injured.”
“But, there is one problem with this speculation.”
“I didn’t have any injuries.” Brian interrupted her as he muttered.
“Exactly, you didn’t have the injuries. Even so, I have ninety percent faith in the second speculation than the first because the first seems almost impossible.”
“But for the second speculation, there are certain criteria that could support it. From what we have seen with your Martial Soul, you must have a powerful talent.”
“There are three kinds of talent in this world. Talent of Comprehension, Talent of Martial Soul, and Talent of Bloodline/Physique. There are some people with an extraordinary talent for two or even all three kinds of talent.”
“Considering how young you are and managing to escape using Spatial Portal means you were certainly talented. After all, we have seen the power of your Martial Soul and it wasn’t even released to its full extent.”
“So, we can assume that you had some sort of healing physique or bloodline that allowed you to heal your injuries but since you also suffer the injuries in the brain, it wouldn’t be able to heal your memories.”
“This is what I speculate.”
Hearing her speculation, Brian was left stunned for a moment. He looked at Chu Lan and smiled.
“Mr. Lan, you are certainly blessed to have such a smart wife. I don’t know if this is true or not, but your explanation forces me to believe it.”
“Hehe! That’s my wife. Anyway, we can find out whether her explanation is true or not.” Chu Lan took out a strange silver crystal from his pocket and passed it to him.
“What is this?” Brian asked.
“This is Marital Soul Testing Crystal. You don’t need to release your martial soul. Just hold it in your hand for two minutes and it will tell you the level of your Martial Soul.” Chu Lan explained.
“Really?” Brian looked at him with surprise.
Crack! Bang!
Suddenly, the crystal exploded in his hand and some part of the crystal pierced his skin.
“Argh!” Brian screamed in pain.
“Mr. Brian!” Both of them rushed next to him and quickly held his hand.
“Hold on! I will pluck them out. We can heal you after that.” Chu Lan put his hand on the piece of crystal that pierced his hand and pulled it.
Splash! “Argh!”
Splash! “Argh!”
After the seventh crystal, his hand was finally free of it but now, it was covered in blood. Fortunately, he didn’t pass out.
Chu Lan quickly took out a yellow pill and throw it inside his mouth. Chu Meng quickly started bandaging his hand while the pill took a little while before it started healing.
“Sorry, we are very sorry.” Chu Lan and Chu Meng immediately apologized. They couldn’t help but feel frustrated by making him injured.
“No! It’s okay. It was my fault. I broke the crystal.” Brian shook his head and took all the blame.
“No! It wasn’t your fault. Sorry for being so frank but you don’t possess raw power to break that crystal which means the energy it absorbed inside it must be too much for it.” Chu Lan shook his head and explained.
“You mean it couldn’t measure my Martial Soul?” Brian asked.
Both of them were silent for a moment. They couldn’t believe the crystal actually exploded. It never happened before but they knew why it exploded.
There was no other explanation. The power of his Martial Soul was so much that the crystal couldn’t handle it. Both of them took a deep breath and spoke at the same time.
“We think your Martial Soul is at least Divine Rank.”
“Divine Rank?” Brian looked at them with confusion.
“Martial Soul Ranks are divided into four ranks. From Low to high; Mortal Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, and Divine Rank. We believe your Martial Soul is God Rank because that crystal should be able to test heaven rank martial soul.” Chu Lan explained the ranking.
“Wait a minute! Doesn’t this confirm your speculation then?” Brian looked at Chu Meng and asked.
“It does confirm it but it might not be hundred percent true. For now, let’s just assume this.” Chu Meng nodded.
“I never expected I had such a high-rank Martial Soul.” Brian looked at his wounded palm with shock on his face.
“So, what do you want to do now? With your talent, it wouldn’t be hard to join a sect and get stronger.” Chu Lan asked.
“Sect?” Brian looked at him with confusion.
“I almost forget that you don’t even have proper memory about anything at all. Hmm…. Do you like reading?” Chu Lan asked.
“Of course!” Brian instantly stood up but the next moment, he paused and looked at his fists.
“Do I? Why do I feel like I love reading?”
“It must be the effect of partial amnesia. Even if someone suffers from Amnesia, one can’t forget some of their main habits. Not to mention, you are only suffering from half amnesia.” Chu Meng answered.
Chu Lan instantly left his room and returned with a huge mountain of books. He took the books to his room and then returned. He took a small table and chair to the room and once again returned to the living room.
“Now, you can learn everything on your own. If there is something you are curious about and do not understand, you can ask us. Those books don’t have many records on cultivation so we would explain it later.”
“For now, you should understand more about this world and the other basic aspects.”
Brian quickly nodded his head.
“Alright then! You can start reading right now but don’t stay up too late. You are still just a mortal. We can talk more tomorrow. You also need to let your hand rest.” Chu Lan nodded and left to his room with his wife.
Brian also returned to his new room and closed the door. He laid on the door for a moment and looked at the ceiling.
‘Hah! Thankfully, I manage to act properly. It seems like they won’t be suspicious anymore.’
