My Martial Spirit is Nanobot

Chapter 282 Master of Second Path

Lin Lee was silently looking at her anxious expression while she was checking his body, and then he said, "I am fine, Mother; it's just I went out for a stroll."

Yi Yun sighed in relief hearing his reply, and then her brow furrowed, and then she spoke solemnly, "How many times have I told you that you shouldn't wander around at night? The forest is dangerous outside; stay at home at night while you can, and you can stroll as much as you want during the daytime."

Lin Lee nodded and replied calmly, "I understand. Don't worry, Mother, I won't go out during the night."

Yi Yun nodded and then smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to prepare something for you?

Lin Lee nodded and replied, "Please do."

After hearing his reply, Yi Yun hurriedly walked away, leaving the room.

'She knows everything, yet she still decided to act unaware. Well, it doesn't matter; I will act along. At least she is comfortable with it.' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the Yi Yun back, and then sighed, turned, and walked toward his room.

Meanwhile, upon returning to the Li House,

Next day,

Li Gong hurriedly visited the royal palace and informed the emperor about his visit and also told him about the encounter with Lin Lee on his return, also the loss of Gao Lin in between.

"Minister Li Gong, you may be right, but an eight-level master of the path, it's really unbelievable."

The emperor asked suspiciously with a little shocked and unbelievable expression on his face, then he relaxed back on the throne, thoughtfully looking on his old face with white long hair and a golden topknot; his beard is also white, wearing a brown royal robe with golden engravings.

'If he is telling the truth that Master Yuan Hao's eight-year-old son is also a master, then it is a great opportunity and a risk at the same time for the empire; at such a small age, this kind of strength is unheard of. If he can represent the empire in the Dao sect examination, then our empire will benefit a lot; it will even affect the surrounding empires strategy.'

The emperor thought to himself, his eyes flickering, while the Li Gong heart skipped a beat seeing the thoughtful expression on the emperor's face.

'It seems this old guy's decision is going in the opposite direction from what I expected. It seems I was anxious and blinded by hatred; I haven't thought about another factor, the Yuan family and Yuan Hao. Although he lived separately, he was still a member of the Yuan family and a master; also, he is declared missing, not dead probably. That's why this guy can't take the risk of offending two masters at once; I should have thought about it.'

Li Gong thought to himself, and his heart sank, feeling regretful as if it was another mistake he made by informing the emperor about Lin Lee.

'Thankfully I haven't told him my guess about the Yuan Yi strength; if I tell him that Yi is at the last stage of master of path, then it will firm his decision about befriending him. Maybe there is still a room for manipulation.'

Li Gong thought to himself, looking at the emperor; his eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

After thinking for a while, the emperor glanced at Li Gong and then waved his hand. "You can go and wait for my summoning. I will send an escort and invite this master Yi. Also, you should know that if you lied to me, then it will become huge trouble for your Li family."

The emperor gave the eviction order and also warned in the end,

"Your majesty, I won't even dare to lie to you about anything. Please confirm it: if I lied, then I am responsible for it; you can punish me as you want." Li Gong replied assuringly,

The emperor nodded and then waved his hand, gesturing at him to leave. Li Gong hurriedly bowed a little and left.

'There is a rift between Yuan and Li now; it's better these both families stay in check and balance after today,' the emperor thought to himself, looking at the direction of the receding back of the Li Gong.

…

A few days later,

Sun shining on the rippling lake in the middle of the Kun forest,

Lin Lee sitting cross-legged and tranquil on the branch of the tree at the edge of the lake,

If a master were here, he would feel and see that a lot of invisible threads of emotion extended from his body, and these threads connected to each and every small to large animal, beast, and tree, in a large span.

While Lin Lee absorbed the emotion released by the animals in different situations, some died releasing cold emotion, some were injured releasing despair-filled expression, and some were hungry; some animals were happy while some were sad, standing beside their dead companions.

Even those hibernating worms were releasing the solemn emotions through their bodies, which is connected to him.

Suddenly the Lin Lee body shook, and the emotional power circulated through his body and then through his mind and merged with his soul.

Instantly the span of his emotional control extended, spreading even more, covering almost the whole forest.

Lin Lee felt the emotional power inside his body increase by leaps and bounds as his sense range increased; slowly, his feeling of emotional power increased more thoroughly; even the small stones and pebbles in the short range around him started releasing the solitary emotions.

"Master of the second path," Lin Lee muttered and then opened his eyes; a spark flashed through his gaze, looking at the direction of the lake in front of him.

Lin Lee raised his hand toward the lake; instantly a small amount of water was separated and transformed into a water orb, which fell into his palm.

"Such a mystic power, this path of emotion really can't be explained by the science; just like the water rod in my hand, it is liquid, but its shape is condensed as a solid," Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, observing the water rod, and then he threw it back in the lake.

Then he glanced at the small pebble near him and raised his hand toward it; instantly the pebble reshaped into a small cannon directing toward the lake. Discover hidden stories at empire

Bang!!!

Along with a light burst sound, a small round marble flew out from the cannon and fell into the lake far away.

'It's really amazing; at the master of the second path stage, I can feel and control the emotion in nonliving along with the living.'

Lin Lee thought to himself, observing the rock canyon, and then glanced in the direction of the sun setting on the other side of the lake in front of him.

"Well, it's time to return home; she will be worried about me."

Lin Lee muttered, and then his figure flickered and flashed through the whole distance, leaving afterimages everywhere, and he reached near the Yuan mansion.

Instantly his footsteps halted a little; feeling some change in the surrounding area, Lin Lee turned and glanced at the tree far away and spoke, "Come out; I know you are here."

"I didn't expect the rumors to be true; the eight-year-old master of the path is really unheard of." Instantly a voice sounded, and a few figures flickered and appeared in front of him, fully equipped with swords and daggers, as well as other weapons.

Lin Lee raised his head and glanced at them thoughtfully and asked thoughtfully, "Who are you?"

"Boy, before knowing about us, you have to pass our test." One of the figures spoke, and all of them flashed around him, throwing their weapons toward his direction.

Lin Lee glanced at their slow-motion figures running around; the speed of these masters of the first path was like children in front of him.

"It seems your information is outdated. When did I say that I am a master of the path?" Lin Lee asked playfully, looking at the weapon flying toward his direction.

Instantly all the figures around him froze in horror, looking in the direction of Lin Lee,

"He is not the master of the path; he is on the second path." One of the figures who spoke before exclaimed in horror, seeing their weapons frozen and floating around the Lin Lee silently,

'Ohh, so that's how the weapons in this civilization work; they have incorporated their emotion inside their exclusive weapons in order to control them remotely, but in my current state I can easily nullify and reverse the control of these weapons.'

Lin Lee thought to himself, seeing they were trying to control and retract their weapons,

Lin Lee smiled and then raised his hand, turned, and gestured toward all of them, "Well, if you so desperately want your weapons, you can have them back."

Instantly, with a swish, these weapons flew back and pierced through all these figures at unimaginable speed; cries and grunts spread through the surrounding area.

"Don't worry, I have avoided your vital points; now explain to me who you all are."

Lin Lee asked expressionlessly, looking at all of them lying on the ground with different parts of their bodies bleeding because of their own weapons, all of them looking at him with fearful expressions.
