Chapter 2: Ch2: Hunting
"You will likely have a second-level talent, my innate seal was only of that level as well," said Mo Bai's father in his usual cold tone, interlocking his fingers as he sat opposite Mo Bai.
"But! Don't think this means your future is truly pathetic, as most ignorant others assume," he continued in a sober voice, his eyes full of sternness and determination.
"There is a way to break those supposed limits, and you... you will break them, Mo Bai." His eyes glowed with confidence in his son sitting before him, despite Mo Bai's indifferent expression.

Mo Bai recalled his father's words, word by word, as he watched the rest of the seal test, renewing his confidence and resolve that this was only the beginning of a long journey.
"Next: Mo Fan."
As usual, the talkative children couldn't help but chat with their friends about the important figures, even if the information was already known. This time, Mo Bai also paid close attention and thought deeply.
'Mo Fan, the heir of the Mo faction to which I belong. There have always been ongoing conflicts and competition among the three factions—Bai, Mo, and Yi—within the clan. But Bai usually dominates and has held leadership of the clan for some time now, so most of the current conflicts and rivalry are only between Mo and Yi.'
Mo Bai watched Mo Fan approach the crystal with childish enthusiasm while continuing his thoughts: 'Therefore, Mo Fan must obtain a third-level talent for there to be a qualified heir for the faction. He has only a sister, and although her talent is high, tradition forbids women from leading the faction. Such foolishness in a world that relies on strength.'
