Jasper nodded and returned to Victor's presence.

Victor looked at his son questioningly. He felt that his son had changed. In the past Jasper would look down in fear when confronted with him. However, this time Shen Xiaolong looked unperturbed. "Jasper, you have become different."

Jasper frowned. "What's changed about me, Dad? Is there a horn on my head?"

Jasper stroked his head, worried that a dragon horn had come out.

"It's not your form that's changed, but your attitude." Victor continued to watch his son's every move.

Jasper was speechless. He remembered that the owner of this body was a timid boy. That's why Gustav often bullied him. If only he became a brave figure, even if he had no strength, he would not let Gustav bully him.

Silent for a while, Jasper sighed softly. "Dad, all this time I've always kept quiet in the hope that they wouldn't bother me. Not only did they not stop, they almost killed me. Whatever happens, from now on I won't be silent."

Whether it was because of the blow to Jasper's head or his own will, Victor felt grateful that his son was changing.

"Before the incident that almost killed you, I was always silent. From now on, I won't let them bully you anymore."

Emma who saw her husband and son becoming more intimate, felt blessed. She felt happy like she was surrounded by a beautiful flower garden.

Emma approached the two men she loved the most, lovingly saying. "Have you gone home? I've prepared the food for dinner."

In his past life, Jasper did not receive enough warmth from his mother. This was because his mother died when he was very young. When he received such warm treatment from Emma, he was touched and promised to regard Emma as his own mother.

"I can already smell the delicious cooking."

The three of them ate dinner together. There was no conversation during the dinner. Afterward, Jasper went to his room.

As Jasper sat in his room, he heard an arrogant old man's voice buzzing in his head. "You... you're not that boy. Who exactly are you?"

Before Jasper could react, a black shadow slammed into his head. Pain tormented Jasper's head. His vision darkened instantly.

The old man's voice buzzed in his head again. "I will kill you! How dare you occupy the body I have prepared!"

Just as the black shadow was about to crush Jasper's soul, there seemed to be a protective wall blocking the black shadow. Not only did it protect, the black shadow also shattered into pieces before disappearing completely.

A stream of knowledge entered Jasper's head like a flood passing through a dry river.

Medicine, Alchemist and Weapon forging knowledge from several different lives now filled Jasper's head.

Receiving all those boons, Jasper's head felt like it was about to burst. There was too much information coming in at one time. He couldn't feel the flow of time. When all the knowledge had seeped into his mind, Jasper opened his eyes.

The sun had already risen, which meant Jasper absorbed all the knowledge in one night. His eyes were now shining brightly like the eyes of a scholar. An aura of virtue came out from Jasper's body.

In one night, he had become a completely different person.

Jasper got up, a smile on his face.

Yes. "It's time for the peak of glory!"

Jasper felt his body filled with pill residue. It seemed like Emma and Victor had been on him from time to time. But not only did they fail, they also made his body weaker and weaker.

Jasper moved out of his room. Victor sat by the window reading a book. When he saw his son coming out of the room, he put the book on the table. "Jasper, where are you going? Take your medicine!"

Jasper's eyes looked at the pill bottle on the table. It was the Water Ginseng Pill, a medicine with the properties of strengthening bones and strengthening the body. Useful for Body Tempering cultivators or below.

"Father, I won't take that pill anymore."

Victor glared. "What are you saying? You want to get weaker? Stop nonsense and take this medicine."

Jasper shook his head. With the medicinal and alchemist knowledge he had acquired, Jasper knew how to take care of himself. Taking the medicine would only weaken his condition. "Father, that medicine contains many pill residue. If I keep taking it, in a few years I will die."

Victor couldn't believe his son could speak thus. "Is it because you want to change that you dare to defy my orders?"

Emma who heard the commotion immediately ran from the kitchen. She had a worried look on her face. "What are you arguing about?"

"Father forced me to take the Water Ginseng Pill."

Emma smiled slightly. "Jasper, you take those pills every day, why won't you take them now?"

Jasper took the pill bottle and gave it to Emma. "The pill contains a lot of pill residue. If I keep taking them, in a few years I could die."

Emma had never seen her son behave like this.

Victor was not happy with Jasper's remark. "Now you're so bold huh?"

Jasper knew his father was angry. "I'm speaking like this with forethought."

"Will stopping taking these pills make you stronger?" Victor spoke.

Jasper nodded. "Of course."

Victor smiled coldly. "If you feel great, prove it!"

"If I stop taking those pills, I can become a cultivator."

Victor was surprised to hear his son's words.

Emma became panicked when she heard her son's remark. She hurriedly said, "My Son, what did you say? Hurry up and apologize to your father."

Jasper looked at Emma. "Why should I apologize? I'm telling the truth. I can become a cultivator!"

"If you can be a cultivator, then prove it! A month from now, when I return from completing the mission, I want to see you become a cultivator."

Jasper nodded in agreement. "Fine, when you go home, I must have already become a cultivator."
