Chapter 10 : Various Ways

"Mom!" shouted Lin Fan as he ran over to his mother.

Seeing Meng Yan's weakened condition, Lin Fan finally knew why his mother looked tired when she took him to the Village Hall.

"Oh? Xiao Fan?" said Meng Yan when she heard her son's voice.

Lin Faozhi just looked at Lin Fan without saying a word, and he was very worried about his wife's state, rather than thinking about anything else.

When Lin Fan looked at his father, he could see Lin Faozhi's eyes were red from holding back his sadness.

"Xiao Fan? How did it go?" asked the weakened Meng Yan.

"Don't Worry, Mom! I have the chance to become a Spirit Master!" said Lin Fan in a worried tone.

Hearing the answer from her son, Meng Yan's face instantly grew paler.

"Oh, that's good. That's good...." said Meng Yan who then closed her eyes.

Seeing his wife immediately closing her eyes, Lin Faozhi couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dear!" shouted Lin Faozhi in tears.

Previously, Lin Faozhi had known that there was something odd about Meng Yan's condition when she escorted Lin Fan to the village hall. And suddenly, Meng Yan almost fell after Lin Fan entered the Village Hall building.

Originally, Lin Faozhi wanted to take Meng Yan back home to rest, but Meng Yan refused.

She wanted to see her son, Lin Fan, successfully awaken his Spirit and have the talent to become a Spirit Master.

After waiting for a while, when Lin Fan had already come back, Meng Yan was already unable to contain herself and then fainted.

——————————

After they returned home, Lin Faozhi put his wife to sleep in his room.

Currently, Lin Faozhi and Lin Fan were gathering to look at Meng Yan who was sleeping unconscious.

Lin Faozhi knew that his wife's condition was very bad. And it was only a matter of time before his wife left him. Moreover, he had no other way to save his wife.

As for Lin Fan, he was thinking of ways to save his mother, and he had obtained all kinds of methods that he could use.

One of them is to look for herbs that have a very large amount of Life Essence.

`The easiest thing is to look for Herb Plants, but finding them is like a needle in a haystack` thought Lin Fan.

Searching for such herbs was extremely difficult, because the world of Douluo Dalu was vast, in fact almost 70% were forests inhabited by Spirit Beasts.

Moreover, Lin Fan's current strength was still weak, making it impossible to find these herbs.

`Although this method is the easiest, there are many obstacles that make this method unusable` thought Lin Fan again.

However, for Lin Fan, there was still another way he could use it.

`Another way is to absorb the Life Essence of another living being.` Lin Fan thought.

This method is more cruel, because it has to sacrifice other living beings. Moreover, this method can also be included in the dangerous category.

Every living thing must have a Life Essence, but every Life Essence has their own characteristics. And if the characteristics do not match, then death is inevitable.

`Not only is it cruel, it's also dangerous. I don't know whether Heaven's Path Divine Art can purify Life Essence or not` thought Lin Fan again.

There were countless other methods that Lin Fan had thought of, but only 2 methods that he thought could be used in this Douluo Dalu world.

`I really want to use Heaven's Path Spirit Essence to heal it, but the cultivation of this Essence is very slow, moreover, this Essence cannot replace Life Essence.` thought Lin Fan again.

`Looks like I have to hurry to get the Spirit Ring.`

When Lin Fan had already thought of some methods, he then saw his father's gloomy expression.

`The person who worries the most about mother's condition is father` thought Lin Fan.

`Looks like I have to calm dad down a bit first` he thought again.

"Father, don't worry, maybe I can help heal mom" Lin Fan said to his father.

"Actually, I have Innate Full Spirit Essence. And if I can leave the empire, maybe I can ask another Spirit Master for help to heal mother" he continued.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the gloomy Lin Faozhi finally calmed down. Because, there is still a way to save his wife!

"Xiao Fan, do you really have Innate Full Spirit Essence?" Lin Faozhi asked.

"Yes father, don't worry! Maybe starting tomorrow I should go to the empire to study to become a Spirit Master!" Lin Fan said excitedly.

"This... Xiao Fan, are you sure to go to the Empire?" said an unconvinced Lin Faozhi.

"I'm very sure, father. Because, I want to cure mother!" said Lin Fan with determination.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Faozhi was worried that his son would get into trouble at the Academy. However, feeling his determination, Lin Faozhi tried to believe in his son.

"Okay, but you have to be careful there." said the still worried Lin Faozhi.

——————————

The next day, Lin Fan and Lin Faozhi were preparing everything Lin Fan needed for the Academy.

Lin Fan also didn't forget to bring Xiao Xiao, because he really wanted to experiment with the cat.

"Xiao Fan, within the academy, you must be careful not to go against the children of the nobles." said a worried Lin Faozhi.

`Oh? It's like nobles suppressing commoners. Is the Douluo Dalu world like that too?` Lin Fan thought.

As Lin Fan recalled, he had never read about the suppression of commoners by nobles. Since this world uses a Spirit Master level hierarchy, whoever is strong is the winner.

`Or maybe I forgot? I think I've read about someone using their identity to be arrogant. Well, I don't remember it at all.` he thought again.

Even so, Lin Fan didn't want to be an idiot who went against anyone without a second thought. Because, he must take into account the pros and cons so as not to go wrong in his steps.

`Even if I'm not smart, at least I'm not an idiot.` thought Lin Fan again.

Studying at the Academy usually takes a long time, it can even take up to 6 years.

But it depends on the students themselves, the sooner they reach the specified level, the sooner they can graduate.

Because, graduation in the Douluo Dalu world wasn't based on his grades, but based on the rank he had attained.

This made Lin Fan unable to return home for a long period of time, but he was still able to go home for some time during the holidays.

`I will use this opportunity to strengthen myself, and also find a way to heal my mother` thought Lin Fan.

After waiting for a while, Lin Fan and Lin Faozhi finally saw a representative from the Heaven Dou empire coming over to them.
