In the southern part of the Wei empire, the Lotus city was one of the small towns of the empire crowded by the population.
The majority of Lotus City itself was dominated by ordinary people, warriors, and 3 large Clans living side by side in the small town.
Although it was not uncommon for conflicts between the three great Clans to occur, either the matter of trading personal matters between Klan members, or the matter of giving birth to martial talent.
In order to maintain peace between Clans, the three great Clans agreed to create a maturity competition every year to see the young talents of each Clan.
Due to limited resources, the abilities of the warriors in this small town were not as great as those in other big cities.
The Ling Clan was one of the great Clans living in the Lotus city. The Ling Clan itself was led by a Clan leader named Ling Han who had the power of a peak soul swordsman or 9-star soul swordsman.
While the other 2 Clans were the Li Clan as well as the Chu Clan. Although the head of each of these Clans also possessed the strength of a soul swordsman, but the strength of the two was still incomparable to Ling Han, as both of them had just broken through to that level.
The Ling Clan Residence.
The residence of an elder of the Ling Clan named Ling San, came the sound of the cry of a newborn baby.
At his birth, the little baby gave off a kind of burning hot aura and made the petrified healer of labor unable to touch the little baby.
Ling San who was the father of the newborn baby went into the room and saw the incident just speechless and fixated.
"What happened to my wife and son?" Ling San asked one of the healers who petrified his child's labor.
"Sorry elders, your child has now been born with the condition of the child and the mother is safe, but after we cut the umbilical cord your son suddenly just came out a hot aura from inside his body and we couldn't help it." Answer one of the doctors.
Meanwhile Ling San's wife Ling Yue who realized that she could only cry at the state of the little baby she had just born was surrounded by the burning heat.
"My son!! hyks hyks hyks." He screamed while crying.
Not having the heart to see his wife crying and his baby boy surrounded by a burning hot aura, Ling San then used his inner strength to suppress the hot aura.
With all his might and strength at his disposal, Ling San tried and tried hard to suppress that hot aura.
"My husband, what are you doing? you could hurt our son." Ling Yue tried to stop her husband's actions.
"That's not gonna happen baby, I'm just trying to suppress this hot aura from our son." Said Ling San who was now trying hard to suppress the hot aura coming out from within his son's body.
But instead of succeeding in suppressing the heat that surrounded his son the heat was increasing and growing.
Ling San who realized it added the profound energy he had to suppress the heat. But the more he added energy in, the heat surrounding his son increased.
With the rest of the inner power he had Ling San continued to suppress that hot aura, but instead of successfully suppressing the hot aura Ling San was instead hit by a backlash from his strength to bounce back and hit the wall of his house.
"I'm fine Yue'er, you take it easy." The answer.
"Actually what happened to my son, the heat surrounding him was so intense, even after I used all the inner strength I had to suppress him, I was instead hit by a backlash from my own strength." His mind gritted his teeth.
Meanwhile, the hot aura surrounding the newborn baby slowly faded and shrank, forming a blue flame-shaped birthmark on the baby's right shoulder.
Seeing the heat surrounding his son had already disappeared, Ling San and Ling Yue along with the petrified healer of his childbirth could finally breathe a sigh of relief and smile.
Ling San who had been bouncing back now stood up and slowly headed to the place where his son lay.
"Thank God nothing happened to our son Yue'er." Ling San carried his little son and sat down beside his wife lying down.
Ling Yue who saw the state of her little son was fine feeling moved as well as happy.
"My handsome son I already have a good name for you, starting today since you are from the Ling family, I will call you Ling Yan." Said Ling San who was currently holding his little son.
The little baby who had just been named Ling Yan was smiling as if he liked the name given by his father.
Ling San who noticed a blue flame-shaped birthmark on his son's right shoulder recalled the previous incident.
"This birthmark was formed from the hot aura surrounding my son, I must keep this incident a secret from anyone, even if it is a member of my own Clan." Inner Ling San.
There was not a single person who saw the events after Ling Yan's birth other than the healers and both because the son of the two was born in the middle of the night at the time when the entire Clan members were already asleep.
Ling San also told the healers to keep the incident a secret, Ling San even gave each of the 100 gold pieces to the three healers to keep their mouths shut.
"I want you to keep the events you saw before, if anyone knows about it other than you then the three of you know the consequences." Threatened him.
"Well elder Ling San, we'll assume like we didn't see anything happen during labor." Say all three at the same time.
"Good, I hope you can keep all this a secret." Ling Yan then gave 100 gold pieces to each of the healers and told them to leave.
After receiving the gold pieces given to them, the three healers resigned and returned to their respective homes.
After the departure of the three healers, Ling Yue who was curious about the blue flame-shaped birthmark on her son's right shoulder asked her husband.
"Actually what happened to our son earlier, why was the blue flame birthmark on our son's right shoulder formed from that hot aura earlier." Ling Yue asked her husband.
"I also don't know what really happened to our son Yue'er, even with all the inner strength that I have, I can't suppress the heat that surrounded our son earlier, I can't suppress the heat, I was even hit by a counterattack from my own strength." He replied with a slightly restrained tone.
"But I have a hunch that our son seems to have some power buried within him, and if it is, it is, then our son will probably be one of the most powerful warriors of the future." Said Ling San with a slightly trembling body.
