Chapter 190: Three Heads and Six Arms

Ye Xuan said, “System, conduct three intermediate draws!”

The previous two intermediate draws had yielded good results. Lin Yuan wondered what rewards Dean Lin would give from these three intermediate draws.

“Congratulations, host, you have drawn an Advanced Cultivation Progress Card, a Ice Fruit, and the Three Heads and Six Arms Ability!”

Ye Xuan already had an Advanced Practice Progress Card, so there was no need for further explanation. With this card, Ye Xuan could boost his abilities by thirty percent in a short period, which was extremely beneficial.

As for the Ice Fruit, it was meant for his parents. Since his sister was not around, he decided to have her take the Ice Fruit back so that both of their parents could awaken their abilities.

Additionally, the Ice Fruit was an A-class ability, similar to the previous Flame Fruit. However, with one parent possessing ice abilities and the other fire abilities, would they end up fighting each other?

The highlight of this draw was the Three Heads and Six Arms Ability.

Three Heads and Six Arms: A divine ability used by Nezha in Journey to the West. After activation, it allowed the user to transform into three heads and six arms for invincible close combat.

Although the Three Heads and Six Arms Ability did not directly increase Ye Xuan’s strength or speed, once activated, the three heads and six eyes could observe all movements of the opponent.

Furthermore, with six hands, although far fewer than Zhou Yun’s one thousand hands, they provided a significant advantage in close combat, making them extremely practical.

The next day, Ye Xuan carried a large watermelon and found Ye Xue.

Ye Xue was surprised, “Watermelons in this season taste average, don’t they?”

Ye Xuan handed the watermelon to Ye Xue and said, “Just like the flame fruit, it can awaken ice abilities. Take it with you when you go back.”

Ye Xue looked at the ten-kilogram watermelon and asked, “Does the entire watermelon need to be eaten to awaken any abilities?”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t think so. Last time, you only took a few bites of the apple and awakened your abilities.”

Ye Xue chuckled, “That’s good. If we had to finish it in one go, we might end up with gastritis.”

The next day, Ye Xue returned home with a bag containing a watermelon and a dragon fruit.

She knocked on the door, “Dad, Mom, I’m back to see you!”

After a moment, the door opened, and Ye Chengzong came out wearing pajamas, still looking a bit sleepy.

Ye Xue was surprised, “Dad, you’re still not up? Why did you sleep so late?”

Ye Chengzong hesitated before replying, “Both of you went so far away, and your mom and I had nothing to do but work. I was busy working until late last night.”

Feeling guilty, Ye Xue said, “Dad, should I stay back and accompany you?”

Ye Chengzong waved his hand, “No need. You’re grown up now, with your own career. Your future is important. Just call us often, no need to come back frequently.”

Touched by her father’s words, Ye Xue entered the house with the two awakening fruits she brought back.

As soon as she entered, she heard her mother, Lin Qiaozhu, from the bedroom, “Who’s knocking on the door so early? We played mahjong until five in the morning yesterday, and I’m exhausted.”

Hearing this, Ye Xue turned to Ye Chengzong, feeling deceived.

Ye Chengzong awkwardly smiled and said, “You must have misheard. Your mom is tired from work and talking nonsense. Our daughter came back to see us, why are you saying such things?”

Upon hearing her husband’s words, Lin Qiaozhu suddenly woke up and hurried to the living room, “Daughter, Mom missed you so much, let me have a look.”

Ye Xue looked at her mother disdainfully and said, “You should go back to sleep for a while, don’t mistake me for a mahjong tile later!”

Ye Chengzong quickly changed the subject, “Look at you, coming from so far away, why did you bring a watermelon? Even if the watermelon in the Magic City is delicious, you don’t have to bring it back yourself, right?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Xue suddenly asked, “Dad, Mom, do you want to become awakened individuals?”

Ye Chengzong immediately replied, “Of course, awakened individuals have various abilities, flying and disappearing, how cool is that?”

Ye Xue smiled, “These are treasures brought by your beloved son. This watermelon, when eaten, grants ice abilities, and this dragon fruit grants fire abilities after consumption. They are both very powerful!”

Ye Chengzong and Lin Qiaozhu were shocked, “Is it true? Daughter, are you not joking?”

Ye Xue said directly, “You are my parents. Even though you stayed up all night playing mahjong and deceived me emotionally, how could I deceive you? My abilities awakened because your beloved son gave me an apple. After eating that apple, I awakened!”

Excited, Ye Chengzong exclaimed, “That’s great! I’ll eat it now!”

However, Ye Xue stopped him, “Wait, awakening superpowers is not that simple. Either you are born with them, or you never have them in your life. It’s extremely rare for someone to gain abilities from scratch. So, these two fruits have significant limitations.”

Curious, Lin Qiaozhu asked, “What limitations?”

Ye Xue tapped the watermelon and said, “This watermelon must be eaten in one go, including the skin, without leaving anything behind, to awaken ice abilities. As for the dragon fruit, you don’t have to eat the skin, but all the seeds inside must be removed. If you accidentally eat one seed, the awakening will fail!”

Ye Xue’s words made Ye Chengzong and Lin Qiaozhu’s expressions change. Eating a ten-kilogram watermelon in one go would surely upset their stomachs for a few days, right?

As for the seeds inside the dragon fruit, there were at least a thousand black seeds in one dragon fruit. Removing all these seeds would take hours, if not days!

However, upon careful consideration, compared to the immense benefits of awakening abilities, eating the watermelon skin and removing dragon fruit seeds were not difficult missions.

Thinking it over, Ye Chengzong said, “Wife, I’ll take care of this watermelon, and you can handle the dragon fruit seeds.”

Lin Qiaozhu agreed, “Alright, let me go put on my glasses…”

Ye Xue had mentioned that the watermelon had to be eaten with the skin to awaken abilities. So, without cutting it, Ye Chengzong bit into the skin…

The watermelon skin was not tasty at all, and the Ye family had always been well-off. When had they ever experienced such bitterness? With one bite, he grimaced.

Ye Xue immediately warned, “Dad, please don’t spit it out. If you do, you won’t awaken your abilities!”

Ye Chengzong swallowed the piece of watermelon skin and chuckled, “Awakening abilities is not easy!”

With that, he bit into the watermelon skin again, determined to eat it all, from the outside in!

Meanwhile, Lin Qiaozhu, wearing glasses and holding a needle, began picking out the dragon fruit seeds.
