章 18: Chapter 18: Fighting for the Martial Spirit Tag! Time to Go All Out!
Due to taking care of her baby, Qian Renxue's once pristine appearance had turned disheveled. Her hair was messy, her attire casual—a simple long dress that hung loosely on her shoulders. With her frequent nursing, she didn't even bother buttoning up her top fully.
Three months ago, she was a vibrant young woman; now, she looked more like a frazzled young mother.
"Lin Luo! Just wait until I find you—I'll show you a good time!" Qian Renxue grumbled, her teeth clenched, as she rushed toward where she'd heard some movement. As she rounded the corner, she bumped into Guang Ling Douluo.
"Fifth Grandfather?"
"Xue'er? I was just about to find you. Yue Guan told me he saw a baby crawling across the square just now, but then it vanished. He thought he might have been seeing things from lack of sleep."
Seeing Qian Renxue's panicked expression, Guang Ling's eyes narrowed. "That couldn't have been Luo'er, right?"
"It absolutely was that little rascal!" Qian Renxue stomped her foot in frustration.
"Calm down, he can't have crawled far," Guang Ling reassured her.
Just as he spoke, the two of them sensed something strange and simultaneously turned their heads in the same direction, their movements eerily synchronized.
Out of the corner of their eyes, they caught sight of a tiny, fast-moving figure scurrying by.
Qian Renxue twitched her nose, narrowed her eyes, and pointed sharply. "He's over there!"
"How do you know?"
"I can smell that little stinker's diaper!" Qian Renxue declared confidently.
Guang Ling blinked in surprise, giving the air a quick sniff—but caught nothing.
Whoa, Xue'er's really developed a new skill as a mother, huh?
To avoid alarming Lin Luo, the two of them crept carefully toward where Qian Renxue had pointed. As they turned the corner, they came face to face with a baby—crawling toward them.
The baby was wearing an adorable pair of split pants, with a diaper visible underneath. He looked up at them with wide, innocent eyes.
Qian Renxue and Guang Ling stared down at him.
Six eyes met, and in that moment, flames of fury ignited behind Qian Renxue.
"You little brat!!"
"Yiya!" Lin Luo squealed, instantly spinning around and crawling away at high speed.
Can't get caught! I'm building up my crawl meters here!
Guang Ling was dumbfounded, while Qian Renxue was equally shocked.
How is this kid crawling so fast?!
Was that even a normal baby's crawling speed?
The truth was, Lin Luo had used a limited-time reward he had recently drawn.
[Sprint Speed x1000, Time Limit: 1 Day]
With this reward active, Lin Luo could enhance his sprinting speed, which allowed him to crawl longer distances.
For every 50 meters he crawled, he earned 500 lottery points!
Lin Luo had also realized that many of the one-time-use rewards couldn't be used immediately and, worse yet, they would disappear from his inventory if not used within two months.
It was a total scam!
He had planned on holding onto his lottery points, but fate had other plans. After 90 draws, he finally received a permanent reward.
It was a permanent Martial Spirit Tag!
This reward allowed him to apply a custom tag to his Martial Spirit when he awakened at six years old. The Martial Spirit would then permanently evolve based on the tag's attributes!
The first Martial Spirit Tag he obtained was: Extreme Fire.
This tag would grant Lin Luo's future Martial Spirit the traits of the Extreme Fire element.
What a fantastic reward!
This was a game-changer for Lin Luo's future strength.
After all, a Martial Spirit was a lifelong companion and the foundation of all future power.
To get more permanent rewards, Lin Luo kept drawing. After reaching 180 draws, he finally hit the jackpot again—a second Martial Spirit Tag.
The second tag was: Unyielding Defense.
Now Lin Luo was sure—every 90 draws guaranteed a Martial Spirit Tag as a permanent reward.
And he already had two.
Since these Martial Spirit Tags could only be used when his Martial Spirit awakened, he had to collect as many as possible within the next three months.
Once the Martial Spirit was awakened, these tags would be useless.
In three months, Lin Luo would rapidly grow into his six-year-old self.
Would Qian Renxue freak out when he suddenly aged up in a blink?
Hopefully, she'd take it well.
As the two adults chased him, Lin Luo glanced back. Picking up speed, he crawled even faster.
This is ridiculous. Can't I just crawl in peace? I'm just trying to rack up some steps, not run away from home!
Though Lin Luo thought this, Qian Renxue had a completely different take.
A baby should stay put in bed! How can he crawl around willy-nilly?
Not to mention, this was Spirit Hall—a place of order and dignity. A baby crawling around the plaza? People would definitely start talking!
In fact, ever since that big fuss about hiring a nanny three months ago, the rumor of an esteemed baby in Spirit Hall had spread everywhere.
However, no one knew exactly whose child it was.
Some didn't even know Qian Renxue existed.
Guang Ling frowned. "We can't let him keep crawling. There are patrols in the inner square, and spirit masters training in the outer square."
Qian Renxue agreed but furrowed her brows. "But seriously, how is he crawling so fast?!"
It was absurd—Lin Luo had already left them in the dust!
Guang Ling widened his eyes. "We should ask his father about his bloodline. This kid is something else!"
Qian Renxue twitched.
He doesn't have a father, okay? Do you believe that?
Guang Ling shook his head and sent a message telepathically. "All Spirit Hall elders and worshippers, mobilize immediately and capture the baby!"
They couldn't let Lin Luo crawl out into the public square. That would be hard to explain.
Golden Crocodile Douluo soon replied, "What do you mean 'capture the baby'?"
Guang Ling growled, "Obviously, the baby that crawls faster than an agility-type spirit master! The little brat is almost at the training ground!"
"What?!"
The telepathic message sent shockwaves through all the elders and worshippers. They abandoned whatever they were doing and sprinted toward the square.
Qian Renxue felt embarrassed. "Sorry, Fifth Grandfather, but we have to catch him. Once we do, I'll definitely spank him good!"
"Wait, where did he go now?"
In just a blink, Lin Luo had vanished again.
Qian Renxue suddenly widened her eyes in shock. "He's heading for the square!"
"My little ancestor!" Guang Ling shouted, his urgency rising. He gathered spirit power in his legs and dashed forward.
Sensing the pursuit behind him, Lin Luo smirked.
"Time to use another limited reward—Sprint Speed x1000."
In an instant, Lin Luo's crawling speed left afterimages behind him.
For the Martial Spirit Tags, it was worth it! Even if it meant getting spanked later.
As his crawling meters accumulated, so did his lottery points, skyrocketing at breakneck speed!
