"Uhm, yes… and no…"
"What do you mean 'yes and no'?"
"I do have dual essence."
"Then what did you mean 'no'?"
"I have more than just dual essence."
"MORE?! You have three essences?! Hurry and tell me about all of them! You don't have to explain them in detail, just tell me the names!"
"All of them?"
"ALL of them!"
"Okay… I have: 'Absolute Ice', 'Silver Lightning', 'Demonic Flame', 'Shadows of Darkness', 'Holy Light', 'Evil Nightmare Illusions', 'Vines of Judgement', 'Asura's Wrath', 'Heaven's eyes', 'Icy Hurricane', 'The Golden Dragon' as well as 'The Golden Bird'."
"WHAT?!?!"
"You have TWELVE spirit essences?!?!?!"
"Y-yes…"
"You actually have the same spirit essences as my brother and I, as well as nine others?!"
"Yeah, I-I guess…"
"This is a miracle!"
"They're all in the top fifty!"
"I-I know."
"Something strange, apart from the fact that you actually have twelve spirit essences, is that you actually have TWO of the spirit essences that only runs in our family. My brother clearly told me that you weren't his biological son, so how come you have both 'The Golden Dragon' and 'The Golden Bird'?"
"Well that's a little compli--"
"--Wait! You don't have to tell me now. I understand that you have your own secrets. Tell me when you feel ready, but I won't force you to tell."
"Thank you for being so understanding!"
"Enough with the chatter now! Time to eat! I wanna try your cooking!"
They both smiled and went to eat the food grilled by Xiao Huoyan. As soon as Jin Niao tasted his nephew's food, he burst out in laughter.
"Hahahaha! To think that a mere five-year-old little boy's cooking is better than mine! Hahaha, who taught you how to cook?"
"No one taught me 'how' to cook, but my father taught me that food tasted better cooked. He's also the first person who'd ever tasted my cooking…"
"… So, you're telling me that your mother never cooked for you?"
"She's… She was a vegetarian. She always told me that she didn't want to kill other living beings just to eat their meat. She thought it was cruel."
"Then why are you eating meat now?"
"Well… Because of something, my appetite grew stronger. With my appetite, I probably would've eaten up the whole forest by now if I had choose to stay a vegetarian."
"How much can a little guy like you actually eat?"
"When I eat, the food gets digested almost immediately. Therefore, I can eat quite much. For an example, it would take me around a week to eat a fully grown twelve thousand years old Fire Serpent of the seventh rank."

"WHAT?!?! Aren't they enormous?!"
"I guess they are."
"It's probably going to be quite hard to feed you when you grow up."
"Oh, don't worry about that. I know how to catch my own food. I've been living alone for around two years, so it's fine."
"Okay, but what if you get injured?"
"I never get injured."
"But what if you do?"
"Then I will heal."
"Of course you will, but what if the wound is too severe? What if you're alone and hurt? It would take at least a few days before you heal completely, right?"
"No, not really."
"What do you mean 'not really'?"
"I mean that I heal really fast."
"How fast?"
"I don't know exactly… Let's find out!"
"What?"
"You just have to start counting when I give the signal, okay?"
"Okay?"
Xiao Huoyan rushed back to the kitchen and came back with a very sharp knife. Then he stabbed his left arm. The knife even went right through. When Jin Long saw that he started to panic!
"Uncle Niao! Start counting when I full out the knife, okay?"
"What?! Are you insane?!"
"NOW!"
Xiao Huoyan shouted 'NOW' and pulled out the knife. Then, even though Jin Niao was shocked, he still started counting.
"One, two, thee, four, five, six, seven!"
Seeing how his nephew's arm were completely restored, Jin Niao was speechless.
"Hahaha, told you!"
"H-how did you do that?!"
"I told you I heal fast!"
Xiao Huoyan smiled happily while his uncle, Jin Niao, was left dumfounded.
"HOW?! I heard a rumour about a hidden expert living in the same forest as you lived in. Did you meet him? Did he gift you some kind of miraculous elixir?"
"Hahaha! I guess that my father never told you, huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"That 'hidden expert' is me."
"You're kidding right?"
"Nope."
"Then how do you explain the elixir that can heal all the wounds?"
"To keep it short, it's not an elixir and I never gave it away."
"Well, I still don't understand, so don't keep it short and explain it more carefully."
"Fine. I usually carry a bottle with my blood, around the forest. When I stumble upon an injured animal, so that I can heal them. One day I dropped the bottle and a man came and picked it up. Those who dare go into that forest are usually only young lords, therefore there should be quite some hidden experts. With that in mind I decided not to show myself.
Instead I sent a mental message. I told him that the bottle belonged to me and that he couldn't take it. Then blah, blah, blah, I let him go and he started spreading rumours about some mysterious hidden expert. That's the whole story! Almost…"
"So, your blood have healing properties?! That explains how you could heal so fast!"
"You finally get it!"
"Having those miraculous abilities, twelve spirit essences and so much strength is not something that normal humans would have."
"I know."
"What are you then?"
"I think I'm no different than you."
"I need a real answer!"
"That IS my real answer! If I knew anything else, I would've told you, but I myself don't know what the hell I am!"
"… Did you read the letter my brother left for you?"
"Yes, I did. I read it on the way here. He didn't want me to tell anyone about my abilities, but I trust you."
"I'm really thankful for your trust, but you still haven't told me everything yet."
"True."
"Since you've read the letter, you should also know that he didn't want you to get angry, sad nor scared, right?"
"… Yeah, I know. You're right. I almost lost it for a second there. It's just that I hate questions that I can't answer.
I hate that I don't even know the answer myself. I hate to talk about my biological parents. My mother was killed, my biological father erased my memories of him and disappeared into thin air, leaving without a trace.
Then your brother came and wanted to take me in. I was so happy, but now I can't even remember his voice nor his face. It should've taken six months, but it seems as if I am immune to my own orbs. I remember everything already. Everything except for how he died and who killed him! Everything except for your brother… My father!"
Xiao Huoyan burst out in tears. He felt so useless. According to what Xiao Huoyan's father had written to him in the letter, Xiao Huoyan was probably the strongest individual in the whole continent.
'Father… If I'm really powerful, then why couldn't I save him?'
