[Three hours later]

"Davis" Claire arrived outside the Emperor's room.

Davis was standing outside the Emperor's room clearly waiting for his Dad to come out. He thought he will be able to see his Dad breakthrough but his Dad entered closed door cultivation since it concerns the advancing of the soul. Advancing in Soul Cultivation requires absolute silence with peace and serenity, but it is still possible to breakthrough in the midst of a battle only under certain conditions, emotions play a huge role in Soul Cultivation after all.

"Mom, Dad is currently"

"I heard, what's the situation now?" Claire had a worried face.

"Everything is fine for now, we can only wait for Dad to come out. " Davis said.

The two stayed silent after that and waited for 10 minutes.

"Alright Davis, you can go do whatev"

Suddenly a majestic aura spread with luminance brightening the entire room that Logan stayed in. It overflowed outside before quietly subsiding.

After a minute, Logan came out with a ragged face. He can be seen walking out dejectedly.

Claire immediately went to hold his hand with a worried face seeing that he walked out sadly.

"I failed. " Logan muttered softly.

A bright luminance surrounded Logan which subtly started healing his wounded soul. Claire emitted that luminance as she also trained in Sacred Luminance Mist. Sacred Soul Healing is the Third Layer ability of it.

"Don't worry, dear, you can definitely succeed the next time. " Claire comforted.

"It's useless. " Logan muttered again, he had his head down.

"Why?" Claire asked

"Heart Demon. " Logan looked at her and uttered.

Claire was not surprised, Logan lost his family and hadn't freed himself from it's clutches yet, he still hasn't fulfilled his vengeance because of those two heads who ran away. It has been weighing down on his heart ever since then. She knew that he wouldn't show his worry out, just to keep others from worrying for him.

Claire immediately felt extremely guilty that she didn't accompany him during those three year rebellion period. She just embraced and didn't say anything. Davis just left, giving them the time for them to talk alone.

..

[Three days later]

Davis got ready to cultivate his Body Tempering Cultivation. The first two stages in Body Tempering Cultivation is extremely easy for the Royal family to cultivate, they had plenty of resources after all. In fact, it also became easier for them to cultivate the third stage easily because of the loot gained from the rebellion.

Davis went to meet his father to consult whether he should make his first breakthrough in Body Tempering Cultivation so soon, after all he was just 5 years old.

"Father, is it okay for me to cultivate in Body Tempering Cultivation now?"

Logan thought for a moment before replying. "Most children only start to cultivate Body Tempering Cultivation only when they are 10 years old, after all, Body Tempering Cultivation involves extreme pain when cultivating it. It requires extreme resilience. I won't stop you from cultivating it but.. are you up to the task?" Logan asked with a sharp voice.

"My previous life was filled with pain, both mentally and physically, I am sure that I am up for the task, Dad. " Davis said with determination.

"Good, that's my son. " Logan said, and suddenly out of nowhere kicked Davis which sent him flying.

"Garghh" Davis flew out and rolled on the floor miserably. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Davis tried to stand up but couldn't no matter how he tried. Painful, it was extremely painful for him.

'Yes, I almost forgot this body isn't used to pain. ' Davis thought.

"What? That's it? You couldn't take a single hit? You should give up Body Cultivation!" Logan shouted furiously.

'I should not be doing this, but it seems that he relies on his previous experience in this world. That won't work, I have to teach him the ways of this world. '

"No! I can stand up!" Davis cried automatically upon receiving such an injury for the first time.

Davis struggled to stand up. After two tries he managed to stand up.

"Come!" Davis shouted.

"Good, I'm not going to stop till you give up. "

The one-sided beatings went on for about 10 minutes. Every part of Davis's body received injuries except his life jewels. The floor was full of blood.

"It's fine if you give up now, Davis. "

"No! Ple.. please continue. " Davis thought he had to show more resilience and determination, so that his dad will approve of him to cultivate sooner.

'Please give up, if you get any more beatings, I'm not sure that I will be able to escape Claire's wrath. ' Logan made a wry face secretly.

This continued for about 5 more minutes.

"It's enough Davis, you can now give up. " Logan had enough of Davis's determination, anymore and he was sure that he'll be ignored by Claire again for who knows how long if he doesn't give up.

"N.. no, ple.... con.. continue. " Davis face was injured fully, he had lost more than three teeth. His arms and legs were trembling, but he still had determination on his face. He couldn't see what was in front of him anymore, he was feeling dizzy.

Logan dropped his posture and made a wry face. "Why do you try so hard?"

Davis tried to make his feet stable. He looked at his father blurred face. "I jus.. want to.. protect.. every.. one I love. I.. " he panted. "I want to protect Mom, protecc.. Clara, and even.. you Dad, for that I need.. strength as soon as possib... " Just when he was about to finish his saying his heartfelt emotions, he collapsed.

Logan made a dumbfounded face and muttered. "Protect our family? Even protect me? A 5 year old child protecting me?"

Logan started laughing out loud.

'I am so ashamed of myself. '

'I am so lost in hatred and arrogance that I forgot about my family's safety! Hahaha'

'The regret I had for letting those two escaped has caged me in, I'm so stupid to focus my mind on those two!'

The instant Logan realised that, he started releasing a majestic aura filled with sacred luminance. He instantly made a breakthrough to the Adult Soul Stage.

"Thank you, Davis, I was able to realize what's more important to me, because of you. " Logan smiled. He finally had his last wall of caution against his son break.
