Capítulo 30: Short-Term Goal
With Bai Jingchong's revelation, Bai Zian finally grasped the truth of the past.
Indeed, it was a simple matter—a feud between two beastmasters.
In his youth, Bai Jingchong had a conflict with a child from another family during a battle, resulting in the accidental death of the opponent. Such skirmishes were common among powerful beastmasters, but due to the influential backing on both sides, the issue escalated.
The Bai family intervened, resolving the conflict but not without consequences. Bai Jingchong faced punishment for the losses he brought to the family. The Bai family's decision: banishing him to the Mysterious World of Ten Thousand Spider Nests. However, it wasn't a permanent exile; two conditions were set for Bai Jingchong's return.
The first condition: achieve the Amethyst Rank. The second condition: eliminate the primary amethyst phantom spider overlord in the Mysterious World of Ten Thousand Spider Nests.
Completing either condition would allow Bai Jingchong to return to his original world, tailored to his abilities and potential. Unfortunately, due to a mishap, Bai Jingchong's red-eyed golden fish, with Amethyst Rank potential, was downgraded to Diamond Rank.
Despite this setback, Bai Jingchong's determination wavered not. Disheartened, he married and had children within the Ten Thousand Spider Nests, forming the Bai Family in that mysterious world.
This background explained why Bai Jingchong's family couldn't easily leave the Ten Thousand Spider Nests—a lasting regret for Bai Jingchong.
"I never expected Grandpa to have such a captivating past," Bai Zian mused, feeling a mix of emotions.
"But since Grandpa shared this, you must have a plan to leave the source world, right?" Bai Zian inquired, hopeful.
Bai Zian, aware of his grandfather's resourcefulness, believed that Bai Jingchong wouldn't share this history without a solution.
"Little Slick, I can't hide it from you," Bai Jingchong admitted, wearing a wry smile. "Fulfilling the family's conditions is near impossible for me. So, I found another way."
He elaborated on a unique method—participating in the college entrance examination. Success would allow Bai Zian to enter the top ten universities, circumventing the Bai family's rules and returning to the source world.
Although an unconventional solution, it had its merits. The top ten universities had principals surpassing king-level strength, making interference from the Bai family unlikely.
Despite the potential, Bai Zian's dissatisfaction lingered. The method would only free him, not his family. He wanted a solution that included them.
While Bai Jingchong reassured him, Bai Zian remained in thought, contemplating a path that accommodated his family's return.
"Xiao An, are you concerned about making it into the top ten universities?" Bai Jingchong queried, noticing Bai Zian's contemplation.
Bai Zian, with newfound determination, dismissed his worries. "Nothing, Grandpa. I believe I can do it."
Bai Zian was resolved; he wouldn't abandon his family. The journey to the source world demanded a solution that included them, a puzzle he vowed to solve.
Certainly! Here's the revised chapter with improved grammar:
Bai Zian wasn't in a rush; he had just finished the high school entrance examination and had not yet entered high school. With three years ahead, he had ample time to slowly prepare for this journey out of the Mysterious World of Ten Thousand Spider Nests.
Curious about the strength required for admission to the top ten universities, Bai Zian shifted the conversation to his grandfather, Bai Jingchong.
"By the way, Grandpa, what kind of strength do you need to be admitted to the top ten universities in the Kyushu Federation?" Bai Zian asked.
After listening to Bai Jingchong's words, he had already made up his mind to find a way for his family to leave the Ten Thousand Spider Nests together and return to the Origin World.
Bai Jingchong shared that typically, becoming a gold-level Beastmaster was a fundamental condition for getting close to the top ten universities. This posed a significant challenge, as most awakenings occurred around the age of fifteen. For Bai Zian, this meant reaching the gold level within three years.
The difficulty of such a feat wasn't lost on Bai Zian, who considered it more challenging than reaching the sky.
"According to the usual situation, if you want to be close to the top ten universities in the Kyushu Federation, there is a basic condition, and that is to become a gold-level Beastmaster," Bai Jingchong explained seriously.
The students Bai Zian encountered in Candlelight City took a year to elevate their pet beasts to the fifth or sixth-order level, and within three years, they could only reach black iron.
"But Grandpa, I have a mythical talent and a perfect mythical beast space. I believe I can do it," Bai Zian stated confidently.
Bai Jingchong acknowledged the difficulty but assured Bai Zian that the family would do everything possible to help him improve.
"Grandpa knows that this matter is not easy," Bai Jingchong said. "However, the family will do everything possible to help you improve. Of course, if you don't want to, Grandpa won't force you to do this."
Despite this, Bai Jingchong emphasized that he wouldn't force Bai Zian into pursuing this path.
Reflecting on the challenging task, Bai Jingchong shared that even high school students in the source world found it difficult to reach the gold level within three years.
In response, Bai Zian reassured his grandfather, expressing eagerness to participate in the college entrance examination.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm fine," Bai Zian said with a smile, softening the atmosphere a little. "On the contrary, my fighting spirit is very good now, and I can't wait to participate in the college entrance examination immediately."
His short-term objective had expanded, as he envisioned solving Bai Jingchong's dilemma when he grew up, allowing the entire Bai family to return to the source world.
"That's Bai Zian's short-term goal," he concluded.
Bai Jingchong nodded in understanding, and once the discussion concluded, Bai Zian walked out of the study and returned to his room.
