Martial Peak

Chapter 3354, Congenital Defect

“Mother, why are you crying?” Yang Xiao got to his feet on the altar and looked dazedly at Fu Zhun.

Fu Zhun shook her head without saying a word, but her gaze was filled with sorrow.

Realising that something was amiss, Yang Xiao turned to look at Zhu Yan and asked, “Father, what happened?”

At that moment, Zhu Yan seemed to have aged tremendously. After his lips squirmed for a bit, he heaved a sigh, “The ceremony has failed.”

The atmosphere around the celebration party, which was bustling with noise just now, turned solemn because of the failure.

“What do you mean that it has failed?” Yang Xiao appeared puzzled.

Zhu Yan didn’t know how to explain it to him. On the other hand, Fu Xuan sighed and walked over to stroke the boy’s head before replying gently, “Since the ceremony has failed, it means that you either don’t have a Dragon Source or that your Source isn’t pure.”

Yang Xiao pointed at himself and asked in shock, “I don’t have a Dragon Source?”

Yang Kai dashed forward and pushed away the others, who had surrounded the altar as he shouted, “That’s impossible! There’s no way he doesn’t have a Dragon Source. After he was born, he was in his Dragon form. Old Qiong and I saw it with our own eyes.”

Upon hearing that, Fu Zhun and Zhu Yan turned to look at him with hopeful gazes. At that time, they didn’t manage to see Yang Xiao’s true form as when they arrived, he had already assumed Human form. They even thought that their child was indeed extraordinary as he could assume Human form not long after he was born. After hearing what Yang Kai had said, they found what he said sensible. If Yang Xiao didn’t have a Dragon Source, or that his Source wasn’t pure, he wouldn’t have been able to assume his Dragon form.

Then, they shifted their attention to Qiong Qi, who nodded his head to affirm what Yang Kai had said.

“Kid, show us your true form this instant.” Yang Kai gazed at the boy and said. If Yang Xiao could assume his true form, it meant that he had a complete Dragon Source in his body. The reason he didn’t pass the ceremony must be that something had gone wrong with it, rather than him.

Yang Xiao clenched his teeth and nodded repeatedly. Then, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Right in front of everyone’s eyes, he remained unmoving as his Dragon Aura undulated.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes as he appeared helpless. Gazing at Yang Kai, he stated, “I can’t do it!”

Yang Kai glowered at him, “What do you mean that you can’t do it?”

Yang Xiao pouted, “I just can’t…”

The hope behind the eyes of Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun turned into despair when they heard that. Fu Zhun parted her lips in an attempt to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to say a word in the end.

Yang Kai was dumbfounded as well as he wondered, [How is it possible that he can’t do it?]
